Top 10 Best Room Heaters 2022 For You To Buy

The unit works well and as I had expected. I have only good things to say so far. I will update if my view changes.I purchased 2 heaters as I am away from home working on a contract and I don’t need to heat the whole place very often, just the 20×20 bedroom and/or 15×12 bathroom.I will get a little wordy here and try to debunk some of the armchair junk science being thrown about and maybe make it a little fun for some.In short let noise-level and cycling temp swings decide for you, unless you really just like something about one as another – but don’t fool yourself.OdorThere is an initial odor as the paint cures and any coating/film burns off. Wiping it down carefully might possibly reduce this period of odor (off-gassing). Those that say there is no initial odor, simply do not have optimal senses (and how many people have you ever heard say that their senses are dull – none!) – people don’t know what they dont know. Think about that for a moment, or.longer. Trust the canaries – they are mostly unbiased and they ARE telling you something. Just because one can’t sense something doesn’t mean all is just fine and dandy.Heat OutputThe heat output is as expected – not because I say so, but because the laws of physics say so. Those laws rarely change, and rarely from armchairs.Power is power, or said in one type of unit, wattage is wattage (exluding of any minor deficiencies). With that in mind, a (100V x 15A) 1500w ceramic heater and a 1500w oil radiator will produce the same heat transfer (one may be more directionally focused or dampened/diffused or quieter than the other). All the oil and fins do is difuse the direction of the heat dispersion/transfer and dampen the relative temp swings when the unit cycles – smooth temp graph over time or a spikey one (other characterizations are generally imaginary). 1500w for an hour, is 1500w for an hour – barring no major losses somewhere (sinewave, squarewave, rms aren’t real differences here). Losses here in the heater, itself would produce HEAT – heaters are interesting devices, they can be crude and yet they are pretty consistent in behavior for a given power consumption. This is in contrast to say an air conditioner where Ineffeciencies (less heat evacuated) produce counter-productive heat (heat = bad). This oil-filled heater unit provides no more or less heat transfer into a given size sealed room then any other heater, based on what we silly humans can realize (some minor inefficiencies, those produce waste heat as well, a loss is a win!). Any fixation otherwise is mostly irrelevant to use mere humans.TempThe temperature setting works fine (assuming no defect in your unit). The temp settings here are probably not best stated in F or C – as this misleads some. A better (relative) scale would be 1-10. The marketers over-ruled the engineers, again. :(Here is why a temp setting is silly;To start with, these type of units at best use a cheap DS1820b 20 cent sensor, or perhaps even something less accurate than that, like bimetallic coils in older thermostats – not sure here (I didnt read the details, not important to me). These bimetallic coils even work well enough unless defective (100+ years of experience there). The next level up of semiconductor temp sensor costs 5+ dollars. But it doesn’t matter how accurate they are, for many other reasons. First, you are an error-prone subjectively-influenced human (think speaker cables, what a topic that ignores blind testing). If one had a 100 dollar temp sensor it would be of no more benefit (OCD excluded) to us silly humans. Where is one measuring the temp? On the oil tank? Near it? What does “near” mean? 6″ away? 10′ away? Is the unit in a 10×10 room? 30×30? Is there forced circulation in the room, or into or from other rooms? How about the humidity (5% vs 95%) and its the impact on heat transfer across a given space? So many variables to consider. Having 10 “highly” accurate temp sensors spatially placed in the room, and averaged, still wouldn’t mean much in the real world – are you really concerned about keeping the spider in the corner nice and comfy? Our human concerns here are mostly silly, biased and subjective.There is no concept making everyone happy here, beyond those who understand the science here (formally or informally). If one is the type that thinks there is such a concept of something being exactly 85F, or something being exactly 1 ft long, or that stepping one half the distance to the wall will eventually get one to the wall (head in palm), then they will be dissapointed by any and every type of heater (and only subjective “feelings” will rule). You can have 12 eggs, but you will never have 1lb of eggs (near a pound yes, but not an exact pound). Ask yourself, setting the heater to 80F means what? 80F where? Ponder that. The science majors at the manufacturer cannot accurately answer this, and 99% of the marketing majors surely cannot answer more accurately – but they might in turn make you feel better with their product specs and nicely crafted literature. They did “produce” a lot of product info – being kind there.TimerThe timer seems to work fine for me but I have not tried every setting. Again time accuracy/precision is relative, and close enough is plenty good enough (99% vs 99.9%). Just like with temperature, one could add a microcontroller to get really close timing (remember, nothing is exactly X days, hrs or milliseconds in duration) but that costly higher precision would mean nothing to us mere humans in the real world – it just perhaps make a few consumers “feel” better.I am happy with my unit so far, as in my case I wanted a quieter more-difused heat with cycling (less temp swings) but I too am being subjective – and probably spending double for little gain. A heater that produces 1500w at 50% duty cycle vs 750w at 100% duty cycle is no different (you just have the spikes that may affect your comfort). You might tolerate the cycling spikes, or not. With respect to overall heat produced by each, if you think there is a dramatic differences please feel correct Mr Einstein and many others, and they’ll go prepare the universe for some troubled times ahead.Here I just wanted to counter some of the armchair scientists using subjective pseudo-science in their evaluations, though I do find the readings enjoyable. I learn a lot from them.Noise-levelAs I write this, my 1500w 30 dollar oscillating ceramic heater with internal fan is keeping me just as toasty in my 20×20′ bedroom, as the doubly-priced 1500w oil heater does, but the ceramic heater produces more noise for that same heat production and transfer. I think this is perhaps the biggest difference that could impact a buyer. Relatively high noise vs relatively low noise. That is probably the decider for many – silence good, white-noise good – finally something you decide.Happy Heating

It definitely blows hot air and warms up the space, but I can’t give it many points past that. The fan is on constantly and it’s not very quiet. Imagine a box fan or the low fan speed mode on your microwave. It’s extremely noticable, but I guess it is what it is.The instructions say that I just run it, turn down the temp knob when it gets to a comfortable point, and then it’ll maintain the temperature from there. It doesn’t do that, it just shuts off and doesn’t turn back on unless I turn up the temp again. It doesn’t really feel like the temp changes much either. It’s just warm all the time, or it’s slightly warm. The fan also blows quite strong, so you get a warm breeze, which isn’t my favorite.I’ll give it props for warming up a space though. I could probably warm up most of my 8x12ft room, but only need it to warm up my desk space, which it’s a bit too powerful to make it comfortable without sticking it several feet away from meUltimately, it’s cheap and does its job at the cost of not having many settings. I have only used it for one day, but I don’t predict that it will change much over time unless it breaks. On the fence from 3 or 4 stars, but it has good reviews and seems to beat the other ones that melt of don’t do much, so 4 stars it is.

I got this as a backup for an old and tired unit. When I unpacked and set it up a couple of things popped up at me. First, it was just a bit heavier than others, all being the same size and all. Ok, plugged it in and read the instructions and in about 1 minute al was working well. Second notice is that the tiny remote wasn’t as flimsy as others I’ve own. We all own these mini things for lights, things, name it and most are just to small and all are to flimsy. This one was just a bit more substantial and very well made and it operated that way. I say it’s another indication the unit is a bit better made than most. Works flawlessly, I love it.

I was mistakenly under the impression that the PELONIS PHTA1ABB Portable 1500W/900W heater had an option to run without the fan on, but it does not. I will be returning & purchasing a radiant heater because the fan noise will not work for my needs BUT if you don’t mind the fan noise & want a great little heater, this thing rocks. I bought another 1500w space heater with fan for about the same price & it doesn’t put out nearly as much heat as this little guy does, on 900w (can’t imagine how 1500w may be!). If you need a very small, very powerful 2 stage power (900w/1500w) space heater that does not oscillate & does have some fan noise, this one is a winner!

I just pruchased this and received it this week. I have been using it for about 4 days and love it. I live in an apartment with a large living room (high ceilings – open floor plan) I turn this heater on in the mornings (this week, the outside temperature has been in the 30’s) and in no time my living room and other rooms are warm. According to a thermometer I have the room starts out in around 66 degrees and within 1 hour after I turn on the heater the reading is 72. I run it on the Eco mode. Again, this is a great heater.

I never write reviews but this little heater is perfect to keep me warm in my home office. My desk is in the basement which gets freezing during the winter, so I have used this heater every single day while I work and it keeps me nice and toasty all day. I usually start with direct high heat to warm up right off the bat, and then switch to the rotating mode the rest of the day. I’ve had this heater for almost a year now and so far it’s held up great with pretty consistent use.

I have an office that is offset from the rest of my house and next to the garage. Living in Indiana, it gets pretty cold in my office so I wanted a way to stay warm during the day without having to run up a huge electric bill from heating my whole house. At first I really didn’t think this was a great product and contemplated sending it back. My office is 8×12 and it would get a little warmer, but no where near as warm as I had set the heater thermostat. I finally decided to see how it did if I shut the door to my office and it is night and day. My office is so warm and it’s so pleasant to work in here during the cold Indiana days. I would 10/10 recommend this as long as you aren’t trying to heat a bigger open space.

Works great for the intended purpose, especially for the price. I bought it to use from room to room instead of heating a 4 bedroom MFG home with the central air.After leaving it on for a while I went to move it to another room and the cord and plug were warm, therefore I WOULD NOT leave this on unattended if you leave the home…..In my eyes they should have used heavier power wire and plug for the heater.Only other gripe is the smooth top where the handle is, impossible to grip with one hand. It needs an indention for your thumb.

We live Northern New Mexico & rely on sunshine (“passive solar” windows) & a min-split system for our winter heat. They work well & efficiently together – UNLESS it’s a cloudy day. Because the mine-splits are high on the wall (also used for cooling in the summer), the brick floors get cold.This space heater really does the trick warming up the floors! We only use it when it’s very cold or cloudy, and it sits in our living room. I put it on auto & let it run while we hang out in the evenings.Not silent, but not overly noisy either. Simple controls on both the unit & the remote. Works for exactly what we need from it.

Great Heater! I got this heater for under my desk at work. I used it for 4 years and never had a problem with it. When I left the company, I had to leave the heater because the company paid for it. I have a new job and I bought the same heater because it worked so well. There is a safety feature in it so that if you kick it over or pick it up it will shut off, once you set it back up it will go on. I also like the handle for easy pick up and the knobs are easy to turn. The size and heat output are perfect. Honestly there isn’t anything I would change. I never really thought that much about a heater LOL but because I needed to purchase another one it was a no-brainer to purchase the same one.

No ocupa mucho espacio y calienta rapido la habitacion.

Note: I have had this unit for only 2 days, so this is only a first impression.This little jewel is impressive! I have another electric heater that is rated at 1500 watts. Though It is the older “heated wire” type of heater that works only on convection.. (no fan)This unit, when compared to my other unit, is a huge reminder that watts are a measurement of energy consumption, NOT a measurement of heat output. This heater puts out nearly twice the heat as my older unit with the same rate of energy consumption! The fan makes it even better. It is very quiet and helps to distribute the heat instead of just having it mix with the air in the room by just floating up. It has lots of great features. I am really impressed by the big delivery of this small heater. I bought 2 of these units for my bedrooms based on reviews that I read. Now, after seeing for myself how well they work, I am kicking myself for not ordering 3 of them. I am now planning to get a 3rd unit for my workshop soon.Only one problem noted here:When I pushed the button on the remote to turn it on, it also turned on my tower fan, which was close by. (different brand) So, I simply unplugged the fan, since I won’t be using it through the winter anyway.

I was reluctant about purchasing this heater because of the 1-star reviews. Luckily, I didn’t heed them. This wonderful little heater produces great heat without any strange odor. Any time an item is mass produced a stinker is going to get through. That is with everything, but I believe the majority of them are great to the point where I have ordered a second unit.The only con is not really a con at all. There is not a specific temperature control setting, you just turn the knob and readjust until you find the right setting. I have an older heater with digital settings. When you set if for 72 degrees and it reaches 72, it will start blowing cool air so that it doesn’t go above 72. Then when it cools for a few seconds, the temperature drops, and it starts blowing heat again. It seems to be a never-ending cycle. This unit does not have that problem.The pros are the price, makes great heat for a small unit and has a tip-over safety switch on the bottom of the unit. I don’t remember is this unit is energy efficient, but my old one is definitely not. For heating a medium size room, I recommend this product.

This space heater gets an A+ in my book. My master bathroom is FRIGID in the winter. It has been absolutely torture to have to wake up and go in there to get ready in the mornings…then I found the Dreo space heater. It is the first space heater I have found that actually warms the whole space and in a timely manner. The best part is it comes with a remote, so when I wake up, I turn it on from my bed and wait a bit to let it get to work before I actually get up. It’s been a game changer!! I finally won’t freeze to death every morning during the winter! Highly recommend.

My mom’s house has poor insulation and no central heat. I bought this for my room and have been so impressed with how well it keeps me warm. I set it up in the bathroom in the mornings for my shower. I even set it in the living room for my dogs when I leave for school and work. It’s a much bigger space but still keeps warm enough for my dogs to be comfortable. I don’t set to full temp in the living room or it will never shut off. With that being said, the safety feature is great for auto shut off when knocking it over. I am not sure about over heating so I don’t set full temp when I am gone. I keep a camera on my dogs though so I keep that extra peace of mind. Very pleased.
