How to choose
Read coverage as the maker figure
Coverage is the space the maker rates the heater for, so compare it with your room size. The Mountman is rated for up to 350 sq ft by the maker. For the other two, compare thermostat range, oscillation and noise to judge fit.
Thermostat range and ECO mode
A thermostat holds a set temperature, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The Mountman and DREO thermostats set from 41 to 95 degrees in 1 degree steps, and the FNIOP ECO mode sets from 59 to 95 degrees. An ECO mode adjusts power output from the room temperature, so check the range against the temperatures you use.
Noise, cords and placement
Noise is listed in decibels, so a lower figure means a quieter heater. Noise figures are 30 dB for the Mountman, 34 dB for the DREO and 35 dB for the FNIOP. Give any heater clear floor space and plug it straight into a wall outlet, as the FNIOP maker advises, and keep the cord out of walkways.
