How to choose
Coverage and wattage
Wattage alone does not separate these picks: the Ballu and the Manastin run on 1500 watts, while the Honeywell runs on 2000 watts. Compare the maker coverage figures instead: the Ballu is rated for 250 sq ft as primary heat, and the Manastin is rated for 500 sq ft. Match the maker figure to your room before comparing controls.
Thermostats, timers and controls
A programmable thermostat holds a set temperature on a schedule, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The Ballu, the Honeywell and the Manastin all have programmable thermostats. The Ballu and the Manastin add app control, and the Ballu adds Alexa voice control while the Manastin adds Alexa and Google voice control. The Ballu and the Manastin have 24-hour timers, and the Honeywell has three timer options.
Placement and mounting
The Ballu moves on casters or wall-mounts with included accessories. The Manastin wall-mounts or stands freestanding with wheels. The Honeywell is a floor-mounted ceramic heater with directional heat control. Give any heater clear space around it, keep the cord out of walkways, and plug it straight into a wall outlet.
