Overall, our favorite feature was its digital display, which allowed us to easily read and adjust the temperature and had very responsive touchscreen controls. in-1 heater] Ceramic heater is available in 1500W or 750W two heating grades, a cold fan, can be used in winter and summer. Most of our top picks use 1,500 watts as their maximum wattage, so you can easily heat a room with them. It doesn’t come with a remote, which in this case is helpful since you don't have to also move the remote as you move the heater.

It also has a feature where it will shut off if left on for a 24-hour period without the use of the controls, in case you accidentally leave it on. Other than those two small noise issues, we appreciated the extra safety features and how effectively it warmed up the room. GiveBest takes safety seriously, employing a multi-protection safety system that extends beyond the ordinary. Its cool exterior cabinet means you won’t have to worry about accidentally bumping into it, though we think the heater’s compact size and broad base make it pretty noninvasive.

While we didn’t notice any specific safety features, the unit’s bulky frame and wheels prevented it from tipping. The anti-tipping feature works well, too – we found that even the slightest tip caused the machine to turn off immediately.

This can be done by turning down the temperature of your central heating system, or turning it off completely, and using a space heater only in the room you are occupying.Since it’s a fan-style heater, we could feel the stream of air instantly, and the change in overall temperature was felt after just a few minutes.

The 12-hour timer and 24-hour automatic shut-off functions ensure the heater won’t stay on if you forget to turn it off. This heater has several safety features, including overheating protection and tip-over auto-shutoff. Biermeier warns that while “in theory, the safety functions on a space heater would allow you to run one all night,” there is always the risk of a safety function failing, which could cause a house fire.If you’re seeking a more affordable option, we recommend the GiveBest Portable Electric Space Heater. He adds that “1500 watts is the largest heater that you can safely plug into a standard 15-amp electrical circuit without tripping the breaker. It also comes with a remote that is easy to use and worked from as far as 8 feet away while we were testing. We noticed a slight smell while using this unit on its highest setting, but since the smell wasn’t too strong, we didn’t think it was enough of an issue to negate all of this heater’s other positive attributes. This ceramic heater is not confined to battling winter’s frost alone; it also moonlights as a cool air fan during the sweltering summer months.

Many mention they've bought more than one, either to keep in multiple rooms throughout the house or to bring along during winter camping trips. However, the features can also be controlled by remote, which meant we didn’t have to leave the couch to adjust anything.

But since it's meant to be a tabletop heater, it's perfect for warming one or two people, and we found it to be quiet even on the highest setting, so we didn't mind having it relatively close to us. When placed on our table, we measured that the ThermaWave 6 Space Heater increased our room’s temperature by 4°F in just 30 minutes. We tested 43 space heaters in our Lab and assessed them on heating performance, design, safety, and value. According to the manufacturer, it can heat spaces up to 1,000 square feet in size, though it’s important to keep in mind that this is an infrared space heater, meaning that it is designed to heat objects rather than change the temperature of the air.
