About this deal
Read our editorial process to learn more about how we fact-check and keep our content accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. This energy-efficient, infrared heater has a remote control and a flame feature that works with or without heat.
Quiet and Fast Heating: The GiveBest heater operates at less than 45 decibels, ensuring a peaceful environment. If you’re seeking a more affordable option, we recommend the GiveBest Portable Electric Space Heater. He suggests cleaning it before use, which can be done by wiping down the machine with a microfiber cloth. Also, it was quiet while operating, but, oddly enough, we found it to be louder while operating on the low setting. There are many types of space heaters, but the most common—and often least expensive—models are compact space heaters with fans.
Biermeier recommends that you look for a space heater that has a tip-over switch that turns the heater off if it falls down, a thermostat to control the temperature, and an automatic overheating sensor and auto switch. Space heaters with wattages that are lower than this, for example, the Vornado VH203 75 Square Foot Personal Space Heater, are better suited as desktop heaters. If you want an option that warms the room and provides a cozy ambiance, we love the Duraflame 3D Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove, our best splurge pick.
When it comes to safety features, the unit boasts a tip shut-off that is activated when tipped 25 degrees, along with an over-temperature shut-off that triggers when the airflow is restricted—for example, if the heater is covered with a blanket. This is in addition to the device’s anti-tipping feature, which worked great in our testing, shutting off immediately when we knocked it over. Since convection works to heat the air, it may take longer to reach your desired temperature, but the warmth will be evenly distributed throughout the space.
Portability: We carried or wheeled the space heaters across the room, noting how comfortable they were to handle and how easy they were to move. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The heater has thermostat that helps keep a stable temperature you set, so the heater can be warm and energy saving. We loved that the control panel is hidden by the door for a more realistic fireplace appearance, but keep in mind that you’ll have to open the door to see the heater’s exact temperature.
