Dreo Atom 316 DR-HSH006 Space Heater

Good Housekeeping's best value pick raised a room's temperature 7°F in 30 minutes and runs as quietly as a refrigerator — all for around $35. Packs more features than heaters costing three times as much.

$35–$40
Pros
  • Raised medium room temperature 7°F in 30 minutes in GH lab testing
  • 47.9 dB at max — as quiet as a home refrigerator
  • Precise thermostat adjustable from 41–95°F in 1°F increments
  • Cool-to-the-touch exterior, tip-over protection, automatic timer
  • Fan runs 30 seconds after shutoff to prevent overheating
Cons
  • Touch-sensitive buttons are not backlit and lack tactile feedback
  • Very compact — not suited for large rooms on its own
  • Basic design with no remote control
Why we recommend it

At $35, this is the easiest recommendation in the category. It has a precise thermostat, tip-over protection, and real heating power in a package smaller than a coffee maker. Buy two for a large room and still spend less than a Vornado.

What the experts said

During extensive tests in the GH Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab, the heater raised the temperature of a medium-sized room by 7°F in just 30 minutes on maximum power. At its maximum setting, the sound level was 47.9 decibels from 6 inches away—about as quiet as a typical home refrigerator.

This compact space heater from Dreo is a great way to stretch your wallet while keeping smaller areas of the home toasty warm—or you could pick up two units for larger spaces and still end up saving a bundle.
