Best portable electric space heaters

Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 5, 2026. Prices below are today's.

Top pick: Dreo space heater — 300 sq ft of forced-air heat, a thermostat and near-instant warmth, with the strongest owner ratings of the group. It's the one to buy if you want one heater to warm a whole room quietly.

Who the others suit:

  • Dreo Solaris Max (2nd Gen) — quietest and most adjustable (32 dB, ECO mode) for bedrooms and offices.
  • Vornado VH10 — vortex circulation for even heat across a living room.
  • Dr. Infrared DR-968H — infrared warmth that feels direct, good for drafty spots.
  • Mainstays 1500W ceramic — cheap, simple backup heat for a small room.
  • Mainstays 400W personal — desktop warmth right where you sit.
  • Comfort Smart fireplace — if you want the look of a fire with the heat.
