Mainstays 1500W Ceramic Fan-Force Heater vs Electactic Compact 1500W/750W Space Heater

Both are small 1500W ceramic fan-forced heaters with thermostats and tip-over shutoff, so the choice comes down to size, settings and track record. The Mainstays is lighter, has three heat settings plus a fan-only mode, and carries a much larger body of owner ratings. The Electactic is a PTC unit rated for a larger room, runs quietly, and switches between 1500W and 750W. Buy the Mainstays for a desk, dorm or bedroom corner on a tight budget; buy the Electactic if you want to warm a bigger room and value quiet operation.

• Choose the Mainstays if you want a very light, simple heater with three heat levels and a fan-only mode for a small room.
• Choose the Electactic if you need to heat a room up to about 200 sq ft and want quieter PTC heating with a 1500W/750W switch.
