How to choose
Thermostats and heat levels
All three picks have adjustable thermostats, so compare heat levels next. The Good Housekeeping and the Comfort Zone have 2 heat settings each, while the Rosekm has 3 heat levels. A thermostat cycles the heater on and off to hold a set warmth, while heat levels pick a power output. Match the level count to how much control you want.
Size and placement
For a small house, pick a heater that fits the room it will warm. The Good Housekeeping tower stands on the floor, the Rosekm sits on a tabletop or floor with a tilt-up stand, and the Comfort Zone tower suits medium-sized rooms and offices. Check the spot it will sit in and keep the cord out of walkways.
Wattage and coverage
The Good Housekeeping and the Rosekm run on 1500 watts each. The Good Housekeeping is rated for up to 200 sq ft by the maker, so match that figure to your room before comparing remotes and handles. Compare the Comfort Zone on its 2 heat settings, thermostat, quartz tubes and 6.5 lb weight.
