How to choose
Choosing the best plug in electric heaters by coverage
Coverage separates these picks: the DREO is rated for up to 215 sq ft by the maker, while the Brightown, the Minetom and the LYNBKLS are each rated for up to 100 sq ft by the maker. Compare the maker rating with your room's floor area, and remember these are plug-in heaters for single rooms, not whole-house heat.
Thermostats, timers and remotes
A thermostat holds a set temperature, while a timer sets heating hours. The DREO, the Brightown, the Minetom and the LYNBKLS set temperatures with thermostats, and the DREO runs a 24-hour timer while the others run 12-hour timers. The DREO, the Givebest, the Brightown and the LYNBKLS include remotes for changes across the room.
Placement for plug-in heaters
Plug the heater straight into a wall outlet and leave clear space around it, since the smaller plug-ins mount on the receptacle itself. Keep the cord out of walkways, and place the heater where warm air can spread across the room. A rotating plug helps fit outlets in different positions.
