How to choose
Match coverage to room size
Maker ratings here run from 200 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft: the SAYDSI is rated for up to 1,000 sq ft by the maker, the Ballu for 250 sq ft as a primary heater, and the DREO and F.EASY.D for 200 sq ft. Compare the maker figure with your room floor area before choosing. A rating is the maker's own figure, so treat it as a guide rather than a guarantee.
Thermostat control versus heat settings
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling heat on and off, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The DREO sets from 41 to 95 degrees in 1-degree steps, the SAYDSI from 50 to 99 degrees, and the Ballu from 40 to 86 degrees. The F.EASY.D uses 1000-watt and 500-watt modes plus natural wind, and the Riseon uses 750-watt and 1500-watt settings. Pick thermostat control if you want a steady set temperature.
Controls, timers and placement
Timers differ too: the DREO has a 12-hour timer, the Ballu a 24-hour timer, and the SAYDSI a 1-24 hour countdown with a weekly timer. Give any heater clear floor space, keep its cord out of walkways, and plug it straight into a wall outlet.
