The 4 Best Bedroom Space Heaters:

1. Trustech Tower Bedroom Space Heater – Best Overall

The Trustech Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater is the best overall space heater for bedroom use. It comes with tip-over protection, which means it will automatically turn itself off if it falls over or detects that it’s getting too hot. That greatly reduces the chances of a fire or other accidents while you sleep. It also comes with a remote, so you won’t have to get out of bed to turn this model on or off. This model is very tall and narrow, so it has a small footprint and won’t take up a lot of space in your bedroom.

However, one of the best things about this model is how quietly it runs. It comes with a fan, but unlike many fan models, it’s quiet enough that you won’t notice that it’s working most of the time. On the other hand, it won’t heat very large areas evenly. It’s good for bedrooms and other small rooms, but if you’re looking to heat a medium or large room, then you’re going to want to invest in a heftier model. Still, if you’re looking for a compact heater that will do wonders for your bedroom, look no farther than this model.

2. PELONIS B07CTKG9QQ Bedroom Space Heater

The PELONIS B07CTKG9QQ is another great choice if you’re looking for a space heater for your bedroom. Like our top model, it comes with automatic tip-over protection, which is one of the best safety features you can get on a space heater. This model includes a remote, so you can raise or lower the temperature, or turn this machine off, no matter where you are in your room. It comes with an ECO mode, which is designed to optimize power draw to save you money on your next electric bill.

This model also comes with an oscillating mode, which does a good job of dispersing the heat throughout the room more quickly than with a standard heater. That means the entire room will get up to the correct temperature fast and leave you cold for less time. The only flaw in this model is that it has a poorly-placed temperature readout. You can’t see it unless you’re standing over the unit, which is inconvenient. Still, if you’re looking for a good overall space heater, this one is a good choice and one that will leave most people satisfied with their purchase for years to come.

3. Brightown 750W/1500W ETL Space Heater – Best Value

The Brightown 750W/1500W ETL is the most portable model on our list. It’s small, less than ten inches tall, and that’s including the convenient carrying handle. That means you can reposition it as needed in different rooms throughout your house, to bring the heat with you wherever you go. It’s small enough to set on a desk or table or to leave on the floor, and since it comes with automatic tip-over protection, you’re safe to use it in either area. It also comes with a fan-only mode, so you can use it as a fan if you don’t need extra heat production.

Since this model is available for a fraction of what you’d spend on the top models on our list, it earns the title of “best for the money” on our list. The only downside is that it’s far noisier than the top two models and is sometimes loud enough that people can’t tune it out. Whether it will bother you or not comes largely down to personal preference. Overall, this is a great space heater, and its low price and excellent portability will make it a great addition to any bedroom in need of extra heat.

4. Honeywell Uberheat Bedroom Space Heater

The Honeywell HCE200B Uberheat is possibly the most attractive heater on our list. It comes with a great mid-century vibe that many people will love, though it’s not going to fit with everyone’s décor and sense of taste. It’s also very compact, and like the previous model, is small enough to set on a table or desk and doesn’t need a permanent home on the floor. However, this model is very noisy and is probably the noisiest one on our list. When it’s on, you can really tell that the fan is running. It’s probably loud enough that most people will be bothered.

Despite how loudly it runs, it’s not the most efficient heater on the market. You’re not going to get the most heat out of this design, which is a shame. Add that to the fact that its temperature control is underwhelming, and frequently leads to its running too hot or too cold, and you have a recipe for a model that will be very frustrating to use. While it’s not the most expensive model on our list, most people will find that they don’t like using it, which means it doesn’t provide good value for the money.

Buyer’s Guide

Hopefully, our reviews have helped you get a better understanding of makes for a great space heater. If you want to get more insight into space heaters in general or want to get an understanding of why we reviewed these machines the way that we did, be sure to check out this buyer’s guide. We’ve packed it full of great information about space heaters, as well as tips for getting great value. If you’ve never shopped for a space heater before or are returning to the market after a long time, this is a great resource to start with.

Heating efficiency

Electric heaters use electricity to create heat. If you have a very inefficient model, you may find that your electric bills are going up dramatically, but without having a significant increase in the heat in your home. To avoid that situation, it’s important to understand how space heaters work to know when you’re looking at an efficient or inefficient model.

The greater the wattage of the heater, the more heat it’s supposed to create. And while that isn’t always true in practice, it is a good general rule of thumb. Cheaper space heaters will usually have a “high” and a “low” setting. Typically, they have two heating elements. While they’re on low, only one will be powered, and both will power up when set to high. This is relatively inefficient, as you may find that you like a temperature between low and high but have to periodically run it on high to get enough heat.

Better models vary the current that runs through the heating elements to produce differing temperatures. These models tend to be more expensive, but you get greater temperature control, and since you can set the temperature exactly where you want it to be, you won’t waste electricity and will have lower bills.

Portability

While this guide is primarily designed for people looking for bedroom space heaters, some models are small enough that you could bring them with you as you move throughout the day. You could heat a small office or kitchen with these models, keeping you warm, even when the weather outside is awful.

The best indicator of how portable a model is whether or not it comes with a handle. Space heaters can get very warm on their surfaces, so a handle means that you can move it around, even if you’ve recently used it. Additionally, smaller models tend to be more portable, and also have handles more frequently. Most oscillating models tend not to have handles, and appear to largely be designed to sit in one place, so you may want to skip that feature if you’re looking to get a portable model.

Ease of use

There are a few features that can make using your space heater a far more pleasant task.

In the bedroom, there’s a good case to be made that the best of these is a remote. That way, you can turn up the heat before leaving bed, if you didn’t have it on overnight. Or, if you’re working at your desk, you won’t have to walk across your room to change the temperature. A remote greatly increases the convenience of your buy and will save you some time in the long run.

Another important feature is an easily-readable screen. If the screen is on top of the machine, you won’t be able to read it. Some machines don’t come with LED screens that display the current temperature, which can make it hard to tell what kind of impact they’re having with just a glance. A large display on the front of the machine will make assessing the situation far easier.

Which space heater is right for you?

While many people focus first on price, if you want to get the best value for your money, you need to understand value. You have different needs from everyone else, and different heaters are made with different capabilities. That means that to get the best value, you have to find the machine that matches your needs at the best possible price.

Start by making a list of what features you want your heater to have. Then, make a list of all models which fit the requirements. It’s safe to choose the cheapest model off that list. It has all the features you need, and since it comes at the lowest price, it’s the best value for your money.

Conclusion

The Trustech Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater is the best space heater for bedroom use, due to its compact form, included remote, and quiet operation. The PELONIS B07CTKG9QQ is another great bedroom space heater. It comes with automatic tip-over protection, an ECO mode, which will save you money, and it oscillates to more evenly heat the room. The Brightown 750W/1500W ETL is noisy, which drops it to third place, but it is very portable, has a fan-only mode, and is also very compact. Since you can get it for a low price, it’s the best value for the money on our list. The Honeywell HCE200B Uberheat comes in a very attractive form and is compact, but it’s high levels of noise, poor overall heating, and bad temperature control lead to it falling to the last place.

We hope that our reviews and buyer’s guide have helped you learn all about space heaters and what makes them good or bad for bedroom use. Using that new information, you should be able to find the model that’s right for you, at a price your wallet will love.
