How to choose
Oscillation angles compared
Oscillation spreads heat across a room instead of aiming it at one spot. The DREO and QOWETU each have 70-degree oscillation, the OLIXIS has 60-degree oscillation, and the BLACK+DECKER oscillates. Compare the angle with the width of the room you heat, and check whether the remote reaches your seat.
Remote, timer and thermostat
A remote changes settings from across the room, a timer switches the heater off after a set time, and a thermostat holds a set temperature. All four picks here have a remote and a timer. The DREO and QOWETU timers run 12 hours, the OLIXIS timer runs 15 hours, and the BLACK+DECKER timer runs 8 hours. Thermostat ranges run from 41 to 95 degrees on the DREO and QOWETU, and from 60 to 80 degrees on the BLACK+DECKER.
Size, weight and cords
Tower height and weight decide where a heater fits and how easily it moves. The OLIXIS tower measures 9.84 by 7.09 by 31.89 inches and weighs 5.8 lb, the DREO measures 6.38 by 6.1 by 15.83 inches and weighs 5.1 lb, and the BLACK+DECKER measures 4.6 by 4.68 by 13.75 inches and weighs 2.75 lb. The OLIXIS has a 5.9-ft power cord, so check the cord length against the distance to your outlet.
