Dreo Radiator Heater, 8 Safety Protection Oil Filled Radiator Heater for Indoor Use, 1500W Electric Heaters for Large Room, 8 Fins, with Remote, 4 Modes, Digital Thermostat, 24H Timer, Quiet

Keeps my drafty living room warm in mild winters – looks nice
It is a good size – fairly small for having 8 fins. The wheels work great and roll across my carpet easily. It recommends putting it on high for 2 hours to burn off the smell but I did not smell anything during the two hours. I placed my face directly above it and it only had a very faint smell. While on high 3, it has light heat coming from the sides and very strong heat coming directly up from the top. It feels of okay quality- no dripping oil or smells, rolls well, light-weight but with a little heft to it and mostly metal. The metal fins are wrapped in a heat resistant plastic I believe. It feels like it anyways. The heater seems sturdy and looks nice it just doesn’t have that ‘classic heavy, thick metal’ feel I was hoping for. The handles and front plate are plastic. Not that it matters a ton but the front plate has an LED screen that displays settings, like heat and timers. If I look at the heater directly from the side I can see the light shining from the cracks of the edge of the panel. It kept catching my eye when I was watching TV. It isn’t bad but I’m sure the screen should be pressed slightly further back to avoid this (stating in case someone sees this as a quality issue). It was a bit more expensive than I’d hoped but I can deal with it if it holds out for a couple of years. I live in the Southern US – mild winters but humid with a huge chill at night. I have it in a 250 square foot living area that is pretty drafty and the temp here has been hovering around 32-45 and extremely humid and rainy. It has kept it toasty

Better and cheaper
This is the fourth space heater I have tried. I have had two oscillating heaters. One forced air heater, and this one. All were rated for the same size room. Before I go on with the Review, I will tell you that I removed a full star because while you can operate this thing from the panel on the heater. It will drive you absolutely crazy. If you lose remote, you have a serious loss on your hand. That having been said, the remote is simple and inconvenient.The first three heaters did a decent job of warming the room when they were on. As soon as they turned off the temperature dropped. And it was constant cycle of on off on off on off. I tried locating the heaters in several different locations. Against the wall made sense for the space heaters so they were only heating what was in front of them. I tried center of the room just pointing at me. Which was great except when I had to go to the other side of them to go to the bathroom. And none of the space heaters could properly heat my bathroom.I almost sent this thing back. There is definitely a learning curve to figure everything out. You could easily think that the device is turning off at certain times. The display icons can be misleading. However, I have a brain. And I can learn.So where to put the heater? I tried several locations. What I found best was to treat it like the radiators. I grew up with from the time I was in a crib about 65 years ago. The radiators in my house said about 2 inches from the wall. That’s where I put this thing. It is amazing. It keeps my room warm to the point where I can walk barefoot on my warm floors. The display turns off. So for those of you for whom a bit of light can be annoyance this would be a great feature. The fins do get warm to the touch. Unless you decide to grab them and hold tight, they won’t burn you. But they do get warm enough that you don’t wanna put your hands on them.The noise level is zero. There is a very, very, very faint click when it kicks on. But I don’t see how that would cause anybody any problems.All in all, I would highly recommend this over traditional space heaters. In addition to all the features I mentioned above, it uses about 2/3 of the electricity than the other space heaters were using.
