Which is better for a bedroom?

The DeLonghi, if silence matters. It has no fan and shuts off automatically. The Lasko warms a bedroom faster but you will hear the fan.

Is the Lasko worth the savings?

Yes if you want quick, cheap spot heat in a small room. You give up automatic shut-off and the tip-over switch, so place it where it will not be knocked over.

Which heats a room faster?

The Lasko. Its ceramic element and fan move warm air immediately, while the DeLonghi panel warms gradually by convection.

Do both use 1,500 watts?

Yes. Both draw up to 1,500W, so running costs on high are similar. The Lasko's thermostat cycles the element to hold a set temperature.

Which is safer around kids and pets?

The DeLonghi, on paper. It lists automatic shut-off, and its panel has no exposed fan. The Lasko has overheat protection and a cool-touch exterior but no tip-over switch.

Can I move the DeLonghi between rooms?

It is a panel heater meant to stay put, often near a wall. The Lasko weighs under 4 lb and is the one to carry room to room.
