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.
Small but mighty, we found that this top-rated space heater can circulate warm air throughout a room in minutes. It features three heat settings (750 watt, 1125 watt, and 1500 watt) so you can control just how much heat output you need.
Vornado's models topped just about every best list out there where space heaters are concerned. You can't go wrong with a variety of Vornado products, no matter your space or heat needs this season.
Noise level is impressively low for a fan-forced heater, and yeah, I'm the guy who notices fan noise instantly. Build quality feels sturdy enough for the cost, though it's still light plastic, not jobsite-tough.
Safety features are a strong point: tip-over protection is hair-trigger sensitive, and the auto safety shut-off plus overheat protection behaved normally in my testing.
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 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.
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.
