Which is better for a bedroom?

The Max (2nd Gen). At 32 dB it is about 5.5 dB quieter than the Slim H3, and its ECO mode holds a set temperature with a thermal sensor. The Slim H3 is fine for a bedroom if you run it on H1 or ECO.

Is the Max worth the extra $14?

Yes if quiet operation and the taller tower matter to you. If you mostly want fast heat at the lowest price, the Slim H3 covers the same 270 sq ft for less.

Which heats a room faster?

Both reach 1500W on high and claim fast heating. The Max uses an extended impeller and forced-air convection, which buyers describe as very quick. The Slim H3 uses ObliqueAirflow and is also praised for heating medium rooms quickly.

Will either trip a breaker?

The Slim H3 draws 12.5 amps and the Max draws 16 amps at full power. On a 15-amp household circuit, the Max on high can trip the breaker, especially with anything else on that circuit. The Slim H3 is the safer fit for older wiring.

Which is easier to move around?

The Slim H3 at 4.62 lbs is less than half the weight of the 8.83 lb Max. It is 15.75 inches tall versus 26.77 inches, so it also stores more easily.

Do both have a remote and timer?

Yes. Both include a remote, a 1-12 hour timer, a 41-95 °F thermostat in 1 °F steps, and 70° oscillation. Both have overheat and tip-over shut-off.
