How to choose
Compare maker coverage figures first
Every pick here draws 1500 watts, so wattage alone will not separate them. Compare the coverage each maker gives against your room size: 200 sq ft for the AUBKN, GiveBest and VOCRS, and 160 to 270 sq ft for the DREO. A higher maker figure suits a larger room, while a smaller figure suits a smaller room.
Thermostat, timer and ECO mode
An adjustable thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling heat output, while ECO mode adjusts output to hold that temperature with less power. A timer sets how long the heater runs: the AUBKN, VOCRS and DREO use a 1-12 hour timer, and the GiveBest uses a 24-hour timer. For automatic use, look for the combination of thermostat, ECO mode and timer on one unit.
Placement, cords and controls
Place the heater in an open area with clear space around it, and plug it straight into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord. The DREO maker advises 3 feet from walls or other objects for accurate temperature monitoring. Wall mounting suits the GiveBest, while the VOCRS and BLACK+DECKER carry handles suit moving one heater between rooms.
