How to choose
Compare maker coverage first
Every pick here draws 1500 watts, so wattage alone will not separate them. The DREO carries a maker rating of 250 sq ft, and the Sweetcrispy carries a maker range of 107.6-161.5 sq ft. Compare those figures with your room's floor area, and weigh controls, settings and size alongside them.
Thermostats and heat settings
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling the heater, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The De'Longhi, DREO, Amazon Basics and Sweetcrispy have adjustable thermostats. The DREO sets from 41 to 95 degrees in 1-degree steps, and the Hykolity ECO mode runs from 50 to 95 degrees. Three or four heat settings give a simpler way to pick low, medium or high output.
Placement and moving the heater
Plug the heater straight into a wall outlet, as the Sweetcrispy maker advises, and keep the cord out of walkways. A lighter heater is easier to move between rooms than a heavier one, so check the weight before you buy.
