Despite putting in a more efficient and energy smart central heat and air system a few years ago, our house requires us to bundle up inside, close off rooms and vents in some rooms to keep others warmer, and being chilled. I am always feeling cold, so winter is a weary time for me.We have done tons of weather proofing. Supplementing with space heaters throughout helps us make it more comfortable, but winter was about surviving and not thriving. I work from home and often I wore fingerless gloves to work at the computer, heat holder socks, and a jacket to stay warm, along with warmer clothing.Having 20 degree nights and 40 degree days on the way this week, I spoke of the dread of being cold to a friend and they told me about their radiator space heaters. I couldn't imagine how they could make a room warm without forced air fans, but I was willing to try.I researched the ones on Amazon, and put in an order for two of these. They arrived on time, the day of the big freeze drop. According to the Weather Channel, 90 million people would be under a freeze warning in the US.One heater arrived many hours before the other. I did as instructed and ran it on high for two hours with the room well ventilated to disipate the "new heater" smell. In about 45 minutes, I realized the room felt only slightly chilly despite the door being wide open and it being in the middle 40s outside. There was a smell to the heater in the first hour of it working, but like mentioned I had the door wide open only a few feet away. I have asthma and it didn't trigger any wheezing or bother me.After the two hours, I shut the door and let it continue on H3 setting or high. In about 2 hours our den was toasty warm. I ended up shutting off three space heaters scattered in other rooms. A few hours later I turned down the temperature on our central heat and air.The second heater arrived, I put the first one on the other end of the house, opened up the door for another two hours and ran the second one on high. This one did not have the smell of the first one when it started but I still ran it for the two hours with the door open.I don't know how to describe the comfortable feeling of the warmth of these heaters. They throw out heat to the environment without pockets of cold air and no forced air fan. No noise. You don't have to be right beside them to be warm.When going outside and returning inside, I used to go stand in front of the space heater or near vents to get warm. Yesterday, last night, and this morning after walking our dog, I came into the room and was surprised each and every time how warm I was immediately.I put both heaters on H2 and let them run through the night feeling safer than I ever did with regular space heaters. I would always shut them off at night to sleep and spend the start of the day trying to warm up the house.Anyway, I ran the heaters all night. No space heaters. Our system set to 65 (spoiler - it NEVER kicked on!)One of the heaters at one end of our house in our den, next to our kitchen and the second heater on the other side of the house in a guest bedroom. The house was so comfortable. The air was not dried out. One end of the house was 70 degrees and the other was 75. While the central heat and air was set to 65, it did not kick in overnight. That means these two heaters made my entire 1600 square foot house warmer than our $16,000 new energy efficient central heat system. I'm sitting at my computer, no jacket, no fingerless gloves, and it is 31 degrees outside.The heater in the guest bedroom warmed it as well as the two rooms adjoining it. Not hot dry air, comfortable warm air.My dog was in heaven yesterday and again this. Lying near the heater on her side comfortable and sleeping rather than moving around from one bed to another curling up trying to get warm. She is a senior and this made me so happy to see her comfortable and warm versus achy and cold.As a note, my friend has a spilt level home, with a partial finished basement and a two car garage at the bottom. They bought radiator heater last year and put it in their basement. She told me it felt like they had radiant heat in the upstairs with the floor always being warm and the house comfortable. They ended up buying a second one - smaller - and putting it in their garage. It helped them fight off frozen pipes and their cars were warmer to get into on really freezing mornings.I expected to have this initial winter freezing period be the start of the long winter fighting to stay warm, but instead I feel like this is such a change for us. We'll be thriving, not just surviving, and I expect we will be saving a lot of money without the many space heaters running through the day and we won't have to be bumping our central heat system up to keep the house not warm, but not freezing. We might not have to use our central heat system at all sometimes.To wake up this morning warm and sit down to work feeling as if it were in the upper 60s to low 70s outside was amazing.DO NOT HESITATE to try this heater. I hope it works for you like it did us.If you know someone that could use one for their home, they will be grateful for the gift.I really liked this model because I could run it on one of three modes (H1, H2, H3), or set it at a specific high temperature, could set a specific time for it to come on, or set a timer. I LOVED the safety features with it. I liked that the information panel goes dim when the lights go dim, and I liked the visual light going yellow, to orange, to red to indicate the ambiant temperature.Everything was as described, it is steady and well balanced, not super heavy, but heavier than regular space heaters so less likely to tip. The temperature monitor is on the bottom of the unit, so it uses the lower air temperature to operate, and whether you have it on hardwood, tile, a rug, or carpeting would likely change the temperature read by the heater. I have hardwood floors. It does not vibrate, no noise, a bit of clicking (barely audible - certainly couldn't hear it with a television running) when it starts heating. It was well packaged. Inside its own box, then inside an Amazon box that was well packed with interior spacing wrap to keep it steady. A bit heavy, as mentioned earlier, but that is in relation to what usual space heaters weigh. Once you get it out of the box, the caster wheels make it super easy to move and put it where you want.I am so happy with this and have never decided to sit down and write a review less than 24 hours of buying.I will update this review when we get our energy bill for some more insight.

Our master bedroom is above garage, the garage ceiling I suspect was poorly insulated. It is So cold you could see your breath evaporate as you exhale. So I would keep the door closed to that room, so the rest of the house stays warmer. This winter I really wanted to stay in master bedroom, so I decided to try the heater option, until we fix the insulation someday. I was pleasantly delighted how powerful this heater is. It keeps our bedroom warm. On warmer days I keep it at H1 setting, on coldest days when it was -3, -4 F° I keep it on H3 setting and our bedroom is comfortably warm.Turns out we had a problem with furnace as well, we fixed it and now whole house is much warmer but master bedroom is the coolest room anyways, so this heater is here to stay with us. Another bedroom is slightly cold due to window issues, I got second one, so our son is warm during the night. That bedroom is smaller so we run it on weakest setting and it is enough.Recently furnace completely stopped working, while we got it fixed , I put two of these heaters in master bedroom and we were able to stay warm in that room with doors closed, almost two days without heating at -4F with two kids, one of which is 3 months old. I freaked out, my baby could catch a cold or smth due to cold house, almost went to hotel or to parents house, but with two of this heaters running at the same time I was able to stay home, and keep my baby warm until we fixed the furnace.I don't really like to spend my time writing reviews, but for this company I will, I feel grateful this company manufacture decent quality product. We owned fancy stylish oil heater few years ago and it was not doing it's job. However this one is really a good product.So I do recommend it to anyone.Update:Our electricity bill arrived this months doubled. As mentioned above due to furnace problems we run two of this heaters almost non stop. So be careful about that. Now I make sure not to forget to turn it off during the day. And use it at night only until spring.

Works great! No noise at all! Used during the winter in our RV & it definitely helped keep warm. Its automatic mode is a great feature.

I bought these heaters specifically because of the price, reviews, look, and the fact that I could set the temperature to maintain a more level household temperature. However, the important thing to remember is that the air around this heater is not moving, and it is not blowing the heat. With this being the case, the heater will shut off well before the room actually gets to the set temperature as it only senses the air immediately around it. To get around this issue, you have to set a box fan next to it, blowing across the fins. At that point the temperature setting works great! High and Low heat settings work great no matter what, and I like that you can child lock the settings.

It would have been perfect if fore mentioned items would have been included!We previously ordered this heater for my mom , her primary suite is enormous and this heater warms its without and issue .Soooooooo , ahead of the ice storm headed to Texas areas I ordered one for myself just to have to make sure my space is toasty as I like it.delivery was set for 10pm , I was sooo happy when it arrived be for 2pmMy smile turned to disappointment—-to my shock - no remote was included in the package nor a user manual!!! DISAPPOINTED….

Powerful heater and very smart. I love it while it helps me stay warm when my 100 year old home heating went out this winter. This is one of 3 Dreo heaters we bought.This one had a problem shutting down and not starting up when cold. Couldn't figure out what was wrong so support offered a refund or a replacement. I took the replacement and will see how it last, I think there might be a cable issue. But support and the two ceramic heaters from Dreo I have are great. I love the smart thermostat control. I think each of the 3 heaters add about a couple dollars a day to my bill
