How to choose
Read coverage as the maker's figure
Every pick here draws 1500 watts, so wattage alone will not separate them. The useful number is the coverage each maker gives: 300 sq ft for the Tangkula and the COSTWAY, and 250 sq ft for the DREO. These are the makers' own ratings, so compare them against your room's floor area.
Thermostat versus heat settings
A thermostat lets the heater hold a set temperature, while heat settings only pick a power level. The Tangkula sets from 40°F to 95°F, the DREO from 41°F to 95°F, and the COSTWAY steps in 1°F increments between 40°F and 95°F.
Remote, timer and moving it
Each pick here comes with a remote, so check the control distance and whether you want a touch panel as well: the Tangkula and COSTWAY remotes reach 16.5 ft. Every pick here has a timer, with 24H on the Tangkula and 24-hour on the DREO and COSTWAY. Wheels on all three make room-to-room moves easier than carrying.
