How to choose
Coverage figures differ by maker
Coverage is the number to compare first, but read it as each maker's own figure. The ProCom is rated for up to 500 sq ft by the maker, and the Dyna-Glo is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker. Measure your room first, then match it against those figures rather than against BTU alone.
Thermostats against plain heat settings
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling the heater, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The ProCom offers High, Medium and Low thermostat control, and the Mr. Heater has adjustable temperature with 2 heat settings. The Dyna-Glo and the Comfort Glow use variable manual controls instead, so you set the level yourself.
Vent free heat without electricity
All four heaters run on natural gas and need no electricity, so they keep working during a power outage. Vent free models need no outdoor venting, and each one mounts on a wall, with the ProCom also standing on base feet. Check your gas supply and room size before you choose.
