Dreo Atom One Space Heater vs Mainstays 1500W Ceramic Fan-Force Heater

The Dreo Atom One is the better heater for most people. It covers a larger room, adds a remote, a 1-12 hour timer, oscillation, an ECO mode and a washable filter, and its 4.9 rating from about 2,500 buyers is stronger than the Mainstays 4.5 from about 12,800. The Mainstays is smaller, lighter and simpler, with three fixed heat settings and a fan-only mode, but no timer or remote and a stated reach of only about 50 sq ft. Both are 1,500W ceramic forced-air units with tip-over and overheat shut-off; the Dreo is the one to step up to unless you want the smallest, most basic unit.

• Choose the Dreo Atom One if you want to heat a room up to about 200 sq ft and value a remote, timer, oscillation and quiet operation.
• Choose the Mainstays 1500W Ceramic Fan-Force if you need a tiny, light heater for a desk, dorm or very small room and don't need a remote or timer.
