How to choose
Match coverage to the room
Every pick here draws 1500 watts, so wattage alone will not separate them. The useful figure is the coverage each maker gives: the BLACK+DECKER is given 150-200 square feet and the Comfort Zone is given 100-150 square feet. Compare those figures with your room's floor area, and pick the heater whose range covers the space you heat.
Thermostat versus heat settings
A thermostat lets a heater cycle to hold a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. All three picks here have adjustable thermostats. The DREO thermostat sets from 41 to 95 degrees in 1-degree steps, the BLACK+DECKER pairs its thermostat with Fan only, Low and High, and the Comfort Zone pairs its thermostat with 2 heat settings and a manual knob.
Placement, cords and upkeep
Give any space heater clear floor space and plug it straight into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord. Keep the cord out of walkways. The BLACK+DECKER has a 70-inch cable and a carry handle, so it moves room to room, while the DREO has a carry handle and a control lock for households that want the settings left alone. Wipe the housing and keep the air path clear between uses.
