Chimella - The Chimney Umbrella

A useful product, does seem to cut down room drafts quite significantly. Perhaps seems a bit expensive in some ways but in terms of ease of use and the comfort levels from room warmth, I would recommend it.

I had a chimney balloon which didn't really do the job and was fiddly to fit / inflate (£20 false economy - as they say "buy cheap but twice"). The chimella is well built, feels and looks top quality to match the price. Packaging is high end as well (I know it ends up in the bin but it is part of the buying experience). My chimney flue starts off at an angle and is not straight up like the video / diagram. It took a couple of goes to find the right starting point to hit vertical flue otherwise it slipped down, but in my view it's not a fault of the product and the ease of use meant it took about a minute to suss it out. The previous balloon didn't have anywhere near the reach the chimella does and didn't fill the flue like this does. Very pleased with the purchase. Jamie.

Great idea but the item was faulty. Then took 2 emails from me to chase my refund.
