Electric heating pads rose by 308%, and petroleum heaters such as fan heaters and kerosene heaters, which are becoming essential camping items, increased by 215%.

Accordingly, Tmon is holding an 'Electric Heating Pad & Electric Mat Sale' promotion until the 25th. This event offers various heating appliances such as electric mats, electric heating pads, and electric heaters at reasonable prices to maintain warmth during winter.
