Why We Love This Deal
We cover online deals daily, and we see some price tags that are so low that it begs questions about everything from build quality to performance. But once in a while, you can get lucky. It's still chilly in many parts of the country, so few things look as attractive as this space heater that's going for just $19 at Walmart. But is it worth it? Spoiler: surprisingly, yes, based on our research.
The $59 Alrocket Electric Space Heater is on sale at Walmart for just $19 with one of its limited-time Flash sales, plus a special on-page coupon that knocks the $20 sale price down by an extra dollar. While it is small, and its price tag feels too attractive not to be some cynical play, this heater is extremely popular with shoppers and a real value for anyone looking for an inexpensive way to warm up.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Wattage: 600 to 950 watts
- Oscillation Angle: 70 degrees
- Best Use Case: Table-side heat source, under-desk warmer
This heater is small, but it's definitely a feature and not a bug, considering how portable it is. There's even a small lipped handle in the back, so you can take it with you from room to room or from your home to your office.
How powerful is this heater? Large enough to heat rooms as big as 300 square feet. This selling point actually does feel like puffery, but how much warmer it makes any given room is up for debate. For a heater this size, you're going to get the best results if you place it on a desktop a few feet away, where its ambient heat can warm your bones. Many opt for plugging heaters like this under a desk to warm their feet, which can be almost too relaxing.
Its ceramic heating element comes to temp quickly, and you can pick from one of three fan speeds to blow its hot air at you. Even though it's so affordable, you can still rest easy plugging this heater in, since it's got an auto-shut-off feature that shuts the heater off if you fall asleep with it on, or if a pet accidentally knocks it over.

If you are looking to take the chill off of any room or office or just want to potentially save on your heating bills for the rest of the season, the Alrocket Electric Space Heater is an incredibly attractive investment at its Flash sale price of just $19 at Walmart.
