The 5 Best Electric Heaters with Thermostats

The Pelonis Space Heater is, by far, the best oil-filled thermostat heater I could find.

First up, it saves you energy and is pretty easy to use.

The heat settings, for instance, gives you plenty of options: 600w, 900w, or 1500w. If you’re a budget geek, you can start it up in low wattage. And when you turn it off and on, it remembers your last temp setting. (Pretty cool. And warm!)

By the way, there’s also an ECO mode that automatically keeps the temp ideal No need to adjust the setting every now and then! Want it to run for only a few hours? Just set the timer.

Design-wise, it’s also pretty sleek. The big LED display tells you the current temperature even if you’re standing across the room.

Be warned, though. You can’t expect it to warm up your room within minutes. (Well you should expect this from an oil-filled heater.) But once it’s reached your target temp, it’ll keep it at that.

Anyway, once you’re in bed and would like to adjust the temp a bit, no need to get up. Yup, there’s a remote control to change the settings in a breeze!

Finally, I’ve got to mention this in case you have kids and/or pets: this heater includes a tip-over and overheat protection. Excellent safety feature to help keep accidents away.

If you’re fine running a heater at 1500W, as long as it makes you suffer virtually no energy loss, I’d recommend this Dr Infrared Heater.

Especially when infrared heaters are the cheapest type of heater to run.

It’s so efficient that it can deliver you an average of 250°F at 3.5m/s. To compare, other heaters on this setting can only deliver up to 155°F at 2.2m/s.

Why? It’s mostly thanks to the way this heater works. It acts like sunlight, warming up objects instead of the air.

The result? A warm and cosy room. And a few more bucks saved in the final electric meter reading. (Especially if you make good use of its 12-hr programmable timer.)

I’ll be honest, though. This heater has a remote control, but you have to use the power button first to get it started. Looks like a safety feature to me, but maybe a little inconvenient for some.

Also, it may look a little old-fashioned. Not much of a problem for me, again, as the ‘cabinet-styled’ design helps make it cooler to touch. Still, it looks like Dr Infrared just wants this heater to be safe enough — considering all the heat it emits!

So you’re quite the power user, but you don’t like the old-fashioned cabinet-box enclosure of the heater above? Then check out this HeatStorm Wall-Mounted Heater instead.

It looks sleek, modern, and slim, and would certainly be a nice touch to a living room, bedroom, or office wall.

Want something that you can move around? This same heater can actually be portable, too. Just let it stand on its base and place it anywhere you need it.

Plus, this HeatStorm heater goes beyond the usual digital controls. It also includes a screen lock feature, keeping your settings safe against naughty kids. Even the power switch has waterproof protection, which makes this unit suitable even for bathrooms.

Energy-wise? Well, it operates on three different modes — low, high, and energy-saving. Up to you to set up according to your warming needs.

And if you really want your energy savings maxed out, just set the programmable timer on.

At first glance, it’s a modern-looking heater with a slim tower design that fits any contemporary-styled home.

The looks raise your expectations, and it does not disappoint.

It has a total of 5 heat settings, including ECO and Fan modes. AND specific wattages at 600W, 1000W, and 1500W. It even swings up to 60° back and forth, so the heat is spread evenly throughout your room.

It also keeps your last setting in memory, warms up quickly, and is easy to control with a remote — even when you’re 6 meters away. Spells convenience to me! And if it helps, it’s not noisy. Even with the fan on.

Also, just set the timer if you wish to keep your bills nice and low.

Of course, I wouldn’t put this as the best all-rounder if it doesn’t have the safety features as the Pelonis heater above. Lasko includes those, PLUS it’s quicker to heat a room (albeit more expensive, and not as long lasting heat).

All these perks for a reasonable price.

Have you ever seen a ‘tower’ style electric heater that can stand AND also lie down?

This Aikoper ‘Double-Duty’ Electric Space Heater is one of the first of its kind.

Its internal oscillation feature allows you to make it ‘stand’ on its ‘feet’ or on its ‘belly.’ Nothing gets tangled whether you position it vertically or horizontally. It’s quite useful if you want the heat to flow up and down instead of just left and right. AND if you wish to keep things really quiet.

This heater also gives you an ECO and fan-only mode, aside from the 900W (low) and 1500W (high) heat settings.

Need to save on energy costs? Just switch to the ECO mode with your ideal temperature. It auto-adjusts so that it consumes low power while maintaining your set temp.

With a minimal tower design, this heater would look great on in an office, a living room, or a bedroom. I’d even use it with kids around. Thanks to its built-in overheat and safety protection.
