Dreo Space Heater, 1500W PTC Ceramic Heaters for Indoor Use with Remote, 70° Oscillation, 1-12H Timer, Electric Heaters with Thermostat, Fast and Safe Portable Heater for Office, Bedroom, Large Room

Compact and powerful. Wow. I didn’t buy full price. Got it for $11 used on Amazon Resale. Had no expectations since it was under $20. I figured it wouldn’t be lost if it didn’t work but wow I was wrong. So glad I decided to purchase. Heats up my entire room quickly. I love the sleek design. Pretty quiet as well at least me. It’s good white nose. Easy to use. You can set it to circulate which is another plus. Different temperature settings, timer, ECO mode. Nice investment

One of the biggest problems with a central heating system is that it heats the entire house, taking more time to heat and use more electricity. If you are living in a big house like us and want just one or two cozy rooms to stay in, a central heating system can run up your electricity bills in no time. At the same time, there are still some nooks and corners that do not feel warm enough in your bedroom or home office. Portable space heaters are perfect answers for such a scenario. They are small, compact, yet powerful enough to heat the space in no time. As only the space you are in is heated by this space heater, the electricity used is minimal. There is no need to run up electricity bills by heating the entire house for hours or through the night when only the bedroom needs to be heated. If you choose one with ECO mode, the sensor will help self-adjust the settings to produce more or less heat based on the surrounding temperature. This also reduces your electricity usage/wastage to a great extent.Here I got two 16 inches height heaters - push button heater by Lasko, and touch control heater by Dreo. These are also two types commonly sold in space heaters. Both of the two heaters do a good job in my house and heat quickly with 1500 watts of warmth. But which one is more suitable for young couples like us?CONVENIENCE:If your heater is not just for near-table use, make sure to choose one with a remote. The Dreo's comes with a remote control which is full-function and easy to use, so it is less time-consuming to heat up. No more bending down to change controls.LOOKS:The Lasko design is getting a bit old as far as I can see. The Dreo is updated and meets the demand of some young couples like us. Its black & golden finish makes this unit look really modern and slender for placement in the home décor. Our main living room is a bit retro style, but it fits into the room just right! It does not require much of a dedicated space and can be placed in a safe corner in the room. We use it in the living room watching our favorite show to keep the place warm, and once we are done, we move it back to the bedroom. Sometimes my dog likes to sit in front of the heater (by our side), the quiet warm wind makes him drowsy on cold days.NOISE:Both are quiet at all fan speeds, not like other heating units that are so loud that they keep you up all night! Generally, the fan in the heaters makes a humming noise throughout. But I would say this Dreo heater is one of the quietest heaters I ever used.THERMOSTAT:The Lasko has 3 heat settings: high heat, low heat, or fan only, and 12 temperature settings. The Dreo has a high, low, and eco, plus precisely adjustable thermostat from 41 to 95 in 1 increments, You can also set a timer for the heater to automatically turn off if required. The Lasko controls are simple and easy to follow yet it has no extra features other than fan speed. From user experience, dreo’s refined custom control is more suitable for young people who are constantly pursuing the quality of life, while lasko’s overly simple design maybe more suitable for some 80-year-olds to quickly get started.SAFETY FEATURES:Both are built-in protection, so you don't have to worry about the protection button worn out. A space heater as small as 16 inches may get knocked down by a curtain, a dog, or some furniture being moved. An overheated device lying on your carpet can result in a fire. This tip-over sensor can greatly prevent fires and burn injuries by turning off the heating element before it becomes damaged or overheats in any way, preventing serious accidents from happening. After I have used them a couple of times, they can really do the job.MY FINAL THOUGHTS：Beyond the remote, the Dreo does everything the Lasko can plus more including a timer, a easy-to-read display, and a precise thermostat. Both brands can optionally be set to move side to side. The Dreo costs a little more but for us, it’s easily worth it. If you are looking for a delicate modern design heater that will provide ample heat for your small spaces in a big house, then this Dreo 16 inches space heater is the most definitely one I would recommend checking out. It is straightforward to use and puts out a strong heat output for such a small device while also providing multiple safety features, which can be invaluable if you have kids or pets in your home.Overall this is a quality space heater for an affordable price. Worth buying!

My day one impressions of this little 16" tall heater is phenomenal. It seems well-built, has a fall-over sensor, has metal parts in front of the coil, looks beautiful, and.. it heats very, very well. I picked this unit initially because I saw that it performed better than many other units in a technical comparison, including noise, and a Warehouse Deals open-box was available at comparable huge discount.When my beloved behemoth of a 1500w space-heater finally died (~0.75'L x 2'W x 2.5'H), I would have been skeptical about replacing it with a unit that's about 1/6th its size. Turns out, the majority of the massive heater was a functionless plastic shell. Not only that, but physics tells me that 1500W of heating is about 1500W of heating less inefficiency. So how does it compare? At close range, the small Dreo actually seems to blow significantly hotter on its highest setting, as that 1500W is going to a radiator is about 2/3rds the size. If you plan to use the heater near your body, I'd actually prefer the Dreo's more directed small radiator.As for the Dreo's 16" tall height, you can use it at ground level to heat a room just fine (and heat rises). But if you instead want to have direct heat blowing on a chair, recliner, couch, etc., or be energy conscious you'll probably want it on some type of stand or an end table. It looks beautiful, so aside from pet-friendliness I don't think this is an issue as much as it is an observation. In comparison, the now difficult-to-find style of the old behemoth was kind of nice as it had a long *horizontal* radiator at the top of the unit, with a vent control to redirect airflow. So why didn't I choose a tall heater style? Most modern tall heaters have vertical radiators that start near the feet. I don't need that heat low, so the Dreo's on a stand and its more compact radiator lets me have control over where that 1500W goes.As for 'pet-friendliness,' which is my only concern: I'm glad it has a fall-over sensor. Still, electric space heaters should always be supervised for more than just that reason. Within about 3 minutes of it being on the table, Kitty saw brand new object and she put paws on top of it to observe. Below average sized kitty vs. Dreo? Kitty won. If you have pets and this is on a table or stand, you'll probably want to find some kind of solution to mount it to something with a heavier or wider base (mount the base to the unit, so it is still portable). It's narrow, it's tall, and it has a pretty tippy center-of-gravity.For context: I use a space heater to supplement zone heating near my desktop computer in a corner of the room. A short distance in front of the heater is my meshed back computer chair. That meshed back is absolutely excellent multi-season climate control, as fans & heaters blow directly on me. The room is about 100-120 sq feet and has a large, leaky patio door right next to my desk. On cold & windy Wisconsin days, especially with overnight temperature drops, that area will regularly drop 5-10F below the zone. So in the morning, on windy days, and in general when it starts feeling chilly, I turn a space heater on intermittently for 5-10 minutes to warm up myself and the room. As such, using a space heater allows me to keep the thermostat in the multi-room zone cooler & that patio-door corner warmer.

I love this heater! I was using a crappy $20 space heater and decided to upgrade, and it's made such a difference! The selling points for me were the remote control, the oscillation, and the thermostat. I love that I can set it to a specific temp and then just forget about it (until I turn it off). With my other heater, I was constantly turning it off and on, rotating it, and adjusting between the two heat settings (high and low). This has 3 heat settings and adjusts itself, so it uses less energy than with me fiddling with it all day. It's also quieter than what I was using. No noticeable smell from mine. It's noticeably cheaper than other brand models that do the same thing, which is why I chose it. It even worked after having liquid spilled on it! Although I kinda wish it hadn't because my friend's dog peed on it and I didn't know until I turned it on and urine steam came shooting out of it. That's a smell I won't forget in a hurry, and now it's baked in. Thank goodness I bought the insurance for it! I'm definitely getting the same model to replace it and am sad I'll have to use the old crappy one until it's delivered.Note that this doesn't have a safety switch on the bottom, so it still runs when knocked over. I recommend not peeing on it, if at all possible.
