How to choose

Tip-over protection on every pick

Every pick here has tip-over shutoff, so the search need is covered whatever you choose. Compare the rest: heat settings run 2 for the Comfort Zone, the Honeywell and the Lasko, while the Lutntc switches heating modes from touch buttons and the Chikit offers high heat, low heat and a fan-only mode. Coverage runs 200 sq ft for the Lutntc, 160 sq ft for the Honeywell and 100 sq ft for the Lasko.

Thermostats and timers compared

An adjustable thermostat holds a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The Comfort Zone, the Lutntc, the Honeywell and the Lasko have adjustable thermostats. The Lasko adds a 12-hour timer. A timer sets shutoff ahead of time, so check the timer length against your routine.

Placement and cords

Give any space heater clear floor space and plug it straight into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord. Desktop models like the Comfort Zone sit on a table, while tower and floor models need floor space, so measure before ordering. Keep the cord clear of walkways.
