Room heater

Can anyone recommend a good unit? The space heaters sold at Lowes/Home Depot don't seem to make a difference on cold days. Thanks

Vornado space heaters are pretty solid, have a small one for my office but any space heater that plugs into a standard 120V receptical is going to work about the same since they are all limited to about 1500W. Forced air or radiant depending on what you prefer is about the only difference. I have a kerosene radiant heater for power outages and a 60k btu propane heater if things got really bad...

Following this as well. We have a big master bath in our new home and there is no door going out of there. With a big open shower, its cold in there at times. We have a small space heater but it does not do anything with the big room and high ceilings.

Ha, I just tried one from Amazon, electric wall heater that says it can handle a 200 sq ft room. It did not make a dent in our master bath, which is maybe 7 by 16 or so. I think it's the 10 ft ceilings. So I'm hunting for a nat gas fueled option that I know will work. Following.

Very Impressive!
Honestly, I don't know, but I like this guy's videos. Otherwise, I'd recommend a built in electric heater. Depending on the height of the ceiling, you can get one of those electric vent/fan combos for the ceiling. There's also wall heaters that blow warm air so it's not some temporary deal.
Something like.
Cadet heaters

I have a few of these Infrared Heaters and they work pretty well. I use it in my home office, on Dallas, as the only heat until it gets below 20. It keeps me warm enough.

We use an oil filled heater for our bathroom. works great.

DR heater model 968
I have two of these and they work great.
You can order them on Amazon or have them sent to Home Depot

Portable radiators are the way to go. Like the Delonghi mentioned previously

As Clames says, they are limited to around 1500 watts, because thst is what a normal 110V house outlet is able to power. The only difference is whether they heat by forced air or radiant heat,

Have one of those as well as an IR and both are good. Nothing special wrt brand. Just get one online or locally. I got one of them a few years ago at Stines.

Wife has a little section set up in the garage to do her crafts. Uses a space heater with an extension cord, told her it has to be 1 of my 12 ga cords.

Duraheat. It's up to 24k btus adjustable. I've had one for close to 20 yrs.

That kerosene heater is safe to use indoors?
Posted on 1/23/26 at 7:45 am to DRTiger67
Yes, and obviously you should always follow safety instructions. Look online for that info.

Those radiant oil heaters from HD work great. I have some to run in a bedroom or 2 when I don’t feel like running whole home. Those rooms stay warm. A large room such as a den, maybe not so much. At that point, just run the heater.

Yep, that's where I bought mine. And it's not a dry heat. We use it in our bathroom.
