How to choose

What the best mini plug in space heater needs

Plug-in heaters mount on the outlet, so compare the plug first. The Givebest and Minetom rotate 180 degrees to fit outlets, while the Good Housekeeping plugs straight into a wall outlet. The YOUCIDI is the desk option, with a cable that unplugs for storage. Compare wattage next: the Givebest runs 800 watts, the Good Housekeeping 750 watts, the Minetom 450 watts and the YOUCIDI 200 watts.

Thermostats, timers and remotes

A thermostat holds a set temperature, while a timer shuts the heater off after a set time. The Givebest, Minetom and Good Housekeeping each pair a thermostat with a 12-hour timer and a remote. The Givebest and Minetom set 60 to 90 degrees, and the Minetom timer steps in 1-hour increments. The Good Housekeeping adjusts temperature with simple buttons. Match the thermostat range and timer to the room you want to warm.

Noise, size and placement

Noise differs: the Givebest runs under 40 dB and the Minetom under 45 dB. For size, the Minetom measures 2.8 by 4.3 by 6.5 inches, the Good Housekeeping 5.31 by 3.74 by 5.11 inches, and the YOUCIDI fits on a desk or bed. Plug-in heaters need an outlet with clear space around it, and the Minetom must stay upright. Keep the cord out of walkways where a cord exists.
