Dreo Solaris 718 Space Heater vs Vornado VHEAT Vintage Heater

The Dreo Solaris 718 is the stronger heater for most rooms: it covers up to 300 square feet, runs near 25 dB, and offers five heat settings, three fan speeds, wide oscillation and a 12-hour timer. The Vornado VHEAT is a smaller, metal-bodied heater with a pivoting head and vintage looks, but owners and reviewers describe weak output that suits only small spaces. Build quality favors the Vornado's steel cabinet; features, coverage and quietness favor the Dreo.

• Choose the Dreo Solaris 718 if you need to heat a bedroom or living room up to about 300 square feet quietly, with a remote, timer and adjustable oscillation.
• Choose the Vornado VHEAT if you want a sturdy metal heater with mid-century styling for a small room and do not need wide coverage or app control.
