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.
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.
Top pick from both Wired and The Spruce, with dual-axis oscillation, a working thermostat, and whisper-quiet operation. Checks every box better than any other heater tested across dozens of models.
Good Housekeeping's best overall pick and a perennial community favorite, whisper-quiet, compact, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Circulates warm air throughout a room in minutes despite its small size.
Wired's pick for best quiet heater runs below 40 dB on low, quieter than any other digital heater tested. Vornado's vortex technology pushes heat to the far corner of the room almost imperceptibly.
Oscillating tower design reaches more vertical and horizontal space than compact heaters, making it one of the few models users say genuinely heats an entire large room. High user ratings and a remote control set it apart.
