Take it home if

  • Heats a whole room evenly rather than a hot spot
  • Five-year replacement warranty
  • Tip-over and overheat cut-offs, cool-touch case

Walk past if

  • Mechanical thermostat swings several degrees around the set point
  • Fan stops abruptly at temperature, which wakes light sleepers
  • Slower to feel warm than a ceramic blower aimed at you
