How to choose
What the best small space heater with remote needs
Every pick here draws 1500 watts, so wattage will not separate them. Then compare the timer: the ZAFRO runs from 1 to 24 hours, while the other three use 12-hour timers. These are the makers' own figures, so match them against how you run a heater at home.
Thermostat versus heat modes
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling the heater, while plain heat modes only pick a power level. All four picks have adjustable thermostats: the SereneLife sets from 41 to 95 degrees, the ZAFRO from 40 to 85 degrees and the DR.PREPARE from 50 to 86 degrees in 1-degree steps. The QOWETU lists 5 modes with a thermostat, and the SereneLife, ZAFRO and DR.PREPARE each add an ECO mode.
Remote batteries and placement
Three of the remotes need 2 AAA batteries, which are not included: the QOWETU, ZAFRO and DR.PREPARE remotes. The SereneLife box lists a remote control among its included components. Place the heater where its remote signal reaches it and where air can move around the unit, and keep the cord out of walkways. A hidden or built-in carry handle, on the QOWETU, SereneLife and DR.PREPARE, moves the heater between rooms.
