The Best Space Heaters of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Oct 10, 2024

A good quality heater can also help you feel as warm as a comforter on a cold, wet winter day just around the corner. Whether you're looking to heat your office, garage, or bedroom, we have a number of great tips for you to consider when shopping for the perfect heater for your space.

First of all, you should always prioritize safety. Secondly, the size of the room to be heated and the power consumption of the heater are the most important factors. Studies have shown that a heater that is too small wastes money and one that is too big may cause the circuit breaker to trip or cycle too many times, which can shorten the life of the unit and reduce its efficiency, so it is clear that the choice of heater is crucial.

Over the course of time, we've tested several space heaters, evaluating their heating performance, design, safety features, noise levels, portability, and value in meticulous detail.

The temperature, humidity, and energy consumption generated after 15 minutes - 30 minutes of use for each heater. The real user experience also provided a clear picture of how well all the products heat and blend into the space. After many rounds of testing, here are our top picks for space heaters that will keep you warm and cozy.

Our Top Picks

Best Radiator Heater:

Portable Electric Radiator Heater, Oil Filled with 3 Heat Settings

What We Like

SUITABLE FOR PERSONAL SPACE
PORTABLE AND CONVENIENT HEATER
SMART THERMOSTAT WITH 3 MODES
SAFE MODE

This is undoubtedly the best of all the Electric Radiator Heaters we tested, it's powerful and comes with excellent overheat protection and thermostat settings. The anti-tip mode allows for immediate power off when it falls to the ground, which is excellent for safety. We think it has many useful features is inexpensive and pulls full weight for the price, including a programmable thermostat so you can choose the exact temperature you want in your room. We're sure it will give you a surprisingly warm experience in the winter.

It's about 10-13 inches tall, enough to allow us to feel the heat fully while sitting, yet it's narrow enough that it doesn't stand out too much in the room. You can use it in a cold basement, and if it feels too hot, you can put it on oscillate so it rotates in all directions to help circulate air.

If you've been wanting to install an Oscillating Parabolic Space Heater in your home, but don't have the space or budget for one, he's a great option. We found that it has a compact, energy-efficient design, but has a lot of heating power.

This portable heater is equipped with a 65-degree oscillating mechanism that can be easily moved-rotated to circulate warm air wherever it's needed. Equipped with a safety flip switch and overheat protection system allows for automatic shutoff in the event of overheating or accidental tilting of the unit to prevent fires. The safety-flocked grille is cool to the touch. This heater with a 14-inch dish reflector is small in size but big in heat output, providing supplemental heating to an area of up to 161 square feet.

At the same time he's priced fairly inexpensively, and I think it's incredible that you can get a heater of this quality for this price.

The adjustable thermostat allows the compact portable heater to keep your room at a comfortable temperature based on the thermostat setting, which, combined with the adjustable thermostat control, also allows you to adjust the heater's 1500-watt ceramic heating element. Also equipped with tip overheat protection and overheat protection, the compact space heater for indoor use is equipped with a switch that shuts off the machine in the event of an excessive return, and the overheat protection is designed to automatically shut off the unit in the event of severe overheating. Thanks to its compact design which allows it to be installed anywhere, suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices, the small size does not take up too much space for free movement.
