I purchased this heater to use in a small office that measures approximately 15' x 20'. It is capable of heating the whole room with the door closed, but I mainly keep is within 3 feet of my desk to warm myself directly because our building has an A/C system that runs 24/7 and is ALWAYS too damned cold. I have now had this heater for more than a month and am very happy with it as I am able to control the temperature quite easily and it warms up quickly and operates without issues. It is also very quiet when operating. All in all, I give it 5-stars for high quality. Read more

Great little heater. Heats my medium-sized bedroom up quickly and quietly. Put it in the center of my bedroom and works great. Dreo has the best heaters. Only thing is the cord is not very long. Read more

My 4 year old quartz tower quit this year. So I got 4 winters out of it but I was happy with it the whole time. I researched all space heaters and decided to try one with the bells and whistles. My old one didn't have a remote and didn't oscillate or have a timer or digital display. All it had was Off, Low, High and a dial for a thermostat. I settled on this one. It came today. I like the bells and whistles I didn't have before but I should have ordered a 24" or 23" instead of a 15". I was used to a 23" and really notice the difference. I have to sit right in front of it to feel the heat. Not that it doesn't put out enough heat, it certainly does that. It sits in front of my recliner and I felt the heat straight at me with the 23" but not with this one. I only feel it when I put my feet down. It may not be enough for the room size which is about 12x15. I won't be using the timer. I like for it to just run until I shut it off. I set the thermostat at a much higher temp than what I want and just run it on high or low. I tried the oscillate but decided I just want it to stay put. I also researched today about quartz vs. ceramic. I found out ceramic is cheaper to buy but may cost more to run. It heats the air quick but not people. The quartz is opposite. It is more expensive to buy and cheaper to run and warms people quicker. So taking all this in consideration I have decided to buy another quartz tower 24" without all the extras I don't need and keep this little one as a back up. So the design is great. The heat output is great. The size is not unless you spend a lot of time on the floor or want to put this on a table which was not an option for me with cats. It is totally quiet. I can't hear it running at all. It does put out a lot of heat for being so small. It is pretty and sleek looking. The remote is a bonus I will miss with my new quartz tower when it gets here but I didn't have one before so it's ok. I hope I have covered enough to help you make an informed decision. I gave it a 4 because of the height but that's not really a bad thing for some people. Read more

This heater exceeded my expectations. It's been awhile since I needed to purchase a standalone heater for my space. This heater is small but gets the job done. It's design is nice and the touch "buttons" added a nice modern touch. The remote works well and came with the cell battery already in it. I love how well it heats up.. I've used it for some of the coldest nights on record that the bay area has had in 100 years. Read more

One of the biggest problems with a central heating system is that it heats the entire house, taking more time to heat and use more electricity. If you are living in a big house like us and want just one or two cozy rooms to stay in, a central heating system can run up your electricity bills in no time. At the same time, there are still some nooks and corners that do not feel warm enough in your bedroom or home office. Portable space heaters are perfect answers for such a scenario. They are small, compact, yet powerful enough to heat the space in no time. As only the space you are in is heated by this space heater, the electricity used is minimal. There is no need to run up electricity bills by heating the entire house for hours or through the night when only the bedroom needs to be heated. If you choose one with ECO mode, the sensor will help self-adjust the settings to produce more or less heat based on the surrounding temperature. This also reduces your electricity usage/wastage to a great extent. Here I got two 16 inches height heaters - push button heater by Lasko, and touch control heater by Dreo. These are also two types commonly sold in space heaters. Both of the two heaters do a good job in my house and heat quickly with 1500 watts of warmth. But which one is more suitable for young couples like us? CONVENIENCE: If your heater is not just for near-table use, make sure to choose one with a remote. The Dreo's comes with a remote control which is full-function and easy to use, so it is less time-consuming to heat up. No more bending down to change controls. LOOKS: The Lasko design is getting a bit old as far as I can see. The Dreo is updated and meets the demand of some young couples like us. Its black & golden finish makes this unit look really modern and slender for placement in the home décor. Our main living room is a bit retro style, but it fits into the room just right! It does not require much of a dedicated space and can be placed in a safe corner in the room. We use it in the living room watching our favorite show to keep the place warm, and once we are done, we move it back to the bedroom. Sometimes my dog likes to sit in front of the heater (by our side), the quiet warm wind makes him drowsy on cold days. NOISE: Both are quiet at all fan speeds, not like other heating units that are so loud that they keep you up all night! Generally, the fan in the heaters makes a humming noise throughout. But I would say this Dreo heater is one of the quietest heaters I ever used. THERMOSTAT: The Lasko has 3 heat settings: high heat, low heat, or fan only, and 12 temperature settings. The Dreo has a high, low, and eco, plus precisely adjustable thermostat from 41 to 95 in 1 increments, You can also set a timer for the heater to automatically turn off if required. The Lasko controls are simple and easy to follow yet it has no extra features other than fan speed. From user experience, dreo’s refined custom control is more suitable for young people who are constantly pursuing the quality of life, while lasko’s overly simple design maybe more suitable for some 80-year-olds to quickly get started. SAFETY FEATURES: Both are built-in protection, so you don't have to worry about the protection button worn out. A space heater as small as 16 inches may get knocked down by a curtain, a dog, or some furniture being moved. An overheated device lying on your carpet can result in a fire. This tip-over sensor can greatly prevent fires and burn injuries by turning off the heating element before it becomes damaged or overheats in any way, preventing serious accidents from happening. After I have used them a couple of times, they can really do the job. MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Beyond the remote, the Dreo does everything the Lasko can plus more including a timer, a easy-to-read display, and a precise thermostat. Both brands can optionally be set to move side to side. The Dreo costs a little more but for us, it’s easily worth it. If you are looking for a delicate modern design heater that will provide ample heat for your small spaces in a big house, then this Dreo 16 inches space heater is the most definitely one I would recommend checking out. It is straightforward to use and puts out a strong heat output for such a small device while also providing multiple safety features, which can be invaluable if you have kids or pets in your home. Overall this is a quality space heater for an affordable price. Worth buying! Read more
