DUNNES Stores has just launched a €25 winter essential that shoppers can’t get enough of.
A rechargeable hot water bottle that promises to keep you cosy all season long has just hit shelves.
The Rechargeable Hot Water Bottle is retailing for just €24.99 and is causing quite the stir.
It promises five hours of continuous warmth from one single charge and is ready to use in under 15 minutes.
Unlike traditional hot water bottles, which require boiling water and frequent refills, this rechargeable version is pre-filled and heats up with just a quick charge.
Designed in a sleek grey colour, it’s not only practical but stylish, fitting easily into any room without the fuss of adding water or kettles.
It’s perfect for cosy nights on the couch, warming up chilly beds, or even soothing aches and pains.
And the hot water bottle is permanently sealed – so there is no risk of scalding or accidents.
The Carmen Rechargeable Hot Water Bottle even comes with a three-year Carmen Quality Guarantee.
So if shoppers hold onto their receipts then they are covered for 3 years with this purchase.
Carmen recommend to: “Use as heat therapy to alleviate muscle aches and improve blood circulation.”
The handy gadget also has an automatic temperature control so it is completely safe to use.
And it boasts a luxury fleece lining for extra comfort.
Shoppers also appreciate the portability, making it easy to move around the house as needed or even bring along for overnight trips.
With energy costs rising, this is not only convenient but a wallet-friendly alternative to keeping the heat on.
It’s much more cost-effective to heat up your body than the entire room you’re in.
Dunnes bosses say: “Make bedtime even cosier with this Rechargeable Hot Water Bottle from Carmen.
“Safe and simple to use, it comes pre-filled with water and permanently sealed so you never have to refill with boiling hot water or worry about leaking.
“Charging faster than a phone in under 15 minutes, it’s almost instantly ready for overnight use and keeps the water warm while unplugged for up to five hours.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
“The heat has fantastic health benefits – not only keeping you warm in winter – it also helps soothe cramps, aches and pains, as well as improve blood circulation for longer-lasting comfort.
“Automatic temperature control provides the optimal amount of heat up to 60C to 70C, while overheat protection ensures safe use.
“Designed using soft, comfy material and with a built-in pouch to keep your hands warm, this electric hot water bottle is made for a warmer, more comfortable night’s sleep.”
It is available now online and in stores, but it is predicted to fly off shelves as shoppers prepare for winter.
