Dreo Solaris 718 Space Heater vs Vornado VH240 Whole Room Heater

Buy the Dreo Solaris 718 if you want a tall tower heater that covers a large room, runs near-silent, and gives you a remote, timer, child lock and wide oscillation. The Vornado VH240 is the smaller, simpler pick: it moves air with Vortex Action and has a strong reputation for even, gentle whole-room warmth, but it covers about half the area and lacks the Dreo's features. Owners rate the Dreo higher, though the Vornado's 4.4 rating comes from fewer reviews.

• Choose the Dreo Solaris 718 if you are heating a living room or open space up to about 300 square feet and want quiet operation, a remote, a 12-hour timer and adjustable oscillation.
• Choose the Vornado VH240 if you are heating a smaller bedroom or office and prefer Vornado's gentle, fast-moving airflow over a feature-heavy tower.
