How to choose
Match coverage to the room
Coverage is the maker's own figure for the area a heater is rated to warm, so compare it with the basement floor area before choosing. The ENVI is rated for up to 350 sq ft by the maker, the DREO for 200 sq ft and the EconoHome for 120 sq ft. The Stiebel Eltron names basements among its typical applications.
Thermostat control and heat output
A thermostat holds a set temperature by cycling the heater, while a plain heat setting only picks a power level. The DREO thermostat runs from 41 to 95 degrees, the Stiebel Eltron knob runs from 45 to 95 degrees and the EconoHome plug-in thermostat runs from 41 to 86 degrees. Heat output also differs across the picks: the DREO and the Stiebel Eltron give 1500 watts, the ENVI gives 1000 watts and the EconoHome gives 400 watts.
Wall mounting, cords and controls
Every pick here mounts on a wall, so check the wall space against the heater dimensions and keep the cord out of walkways. The DREO includes a drilling template and a 70.8 inch power cord, the Stiebel Eltron includes a 47 inch cord with plug, the ENVI includes a mounting kit and a mounting template with cord storage, and the EconoHome includes mounting hardware. For controls, the DREO has a touch panel, a remote, app control and Alexa voice control, while the ENVI has app control with Alexa and Google Home voice control.
