How to choose
Match coverage to the room
Coverage is the maker's own figure, so compare it with your room's floor area before you buy. The Mountman is rated for up to 450 sq ft by the maker. A thermostat that holds a set temperature, a timer that fits your routine and a heat setting range that suits the room are the other figures to weigh, so measure the room first and pick the heater whose stated figures fit it.
Compare thermostats and heat settings
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling the heater, while plain heat settings only pick a power level. The NEWBULIG thermostat sets from 50 to 95 degrees, the Gaiatop thermostat sets from 41 to 95 degrees, and the Mountman ECO mode adjusts within 41 to 95 degrees. The NEWBULIG has 2 heat settings, the QOWETU has 3 heat settings at 700, 1,000 and 1,500 watts, and the Gaiatop has 3 heating settings. Pick degree control when you want a steady temperature rather than a fixed power level.
Check timers, oscillation and weight
The NEWBULIG, QOWETU and Gaiatop have 12-hour timers, while the Mountman and the AEOCKY have 24-hour timers. For oscillation, the Mountman offers 120 degrees, the QOWETU and the AEOCKY offer 70 degrees, and the NEWBULIG and the Gaiatop offer 60 degrees. For weight, the NEWBULIG weighs 4.4 lb and the Gaiatop weighs 3.5 lb, so compare the stated weights when you plan to move the heater between rooms.
