It may seem counterintuitive, but large space heaters don\u2019t necessarily heat any better than small ones.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever their physical size, most space heaters in the US and Canada deliver about the same amount of heat. Space heaters top out at 1,500 watts, which is the highest safe operating load for a 15-amp household circuit. And aside from some low-power personal heaters here and there, most space heaters you\u2019ll find on the market are 1,500-watt heaters.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, electric space heaters are <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/electric-resistance-heating#:~:text=Electric%20resistance%20heating%20is%20100,the%20fuel's%20energy%20into%20electricity.\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/electric-resistance-heating#:~:text=Electric%20resistance%20heating%20is%20100,the%20fuel's%20energy%20into%20electricity.&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/electric-resistance-heating#:~:text=Electric%20resistance%20heating%20is%20100,the%20fuel's%20energy%20into%20electricity.\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">all pretty much 100 percent efficient in converting that electricity to heat<\/a>. Whether directly or indirectly, nearly all of that energy will eventually become heat.<\/p>\n<p>So if space heaters are the same power and the same efficiency, why are some 1,500-watt heaters advertised for small rooms and some for large rooms? This likely has as much to do with marketing as science. Pretty much every ceramic, electric-coil, or PTC heater has about the same amount of juice and thus the same ability to heat a room \u2026 at least eventually.<\/p>\n<p>What differs among heaters is how and where the heat gets distributed and how fast. All other things being equal, the efficacy of a heater is mostly about whether it puts the heat where you want it to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"outline:none\" id=\"HeaterTypes\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-iLIlCF dnShlA\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-gsDmFY lcqIih\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jFRYlp zgmT\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-etvqIf TKdPc\">\n<p>What Are the Different Types of Space Heaters?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bcGmUs ButtonWrapper-dPMEWm MOjna eEKLwx button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-jMXXPz cpRpLP\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-eCjeQX eTFZtz button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-fiXpuI kcFVmX opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>Basically all electric space heaters do the same thing: They take electricity off the grid, usually 1,500 watts of it if you&#8217;re in the United States, and turn that power into heat.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of space heaters, including ceramic heaters and <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-regulating_heater\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-regulating_heater&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Self-regulating_heater\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PTC heaters<\/a>, are <strong>electric resistance heaters<\/strong>. This means they run an electrical current through something that creates resistance: maybe an electric coil or maybe a specially designed ceramic. This quickly turns electricity into heat.<\/p>\n<p>Most space heaters use a fan to disperse this heat out into the world, where we all live. These forced-air convection heaters tend to be the fastest at quickly raising the temperature of the surrounding air. The air then heats you. And so while this variety heats quickly, it can take quite a bit of electricity to heat up a whole room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil-filled radiators<\/strong>, in contrast, heat up oil that circulates inside the device, which then emits heat to the surrounding room. These tend to heat up slower but offer even and lasting heat and are very quiet. These radiators operate on the same principle as steam radiators in buildings with a boiler room. And just like steam radiators, they can get really, really hot to the touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radiant heaters,<\/strong> such as infrared heaters, operate much like the sun or a campfire: Rather than heat the air, they heat objects or people directly by radiating energy toward them. Infrared devices heat the air only indirectly, via the objects it heats\u2014much the same way the sun&#8217;s heat radiates off baking city streets. The glow is immediately palpable as warmth, but you\u2019ll need to be in the path of the radiation to feel it, and the thermometer might not immediately register the warmth you perceive. Infrared heaters tend to be best at making an individual in front of the heater feel a little warmer without using a lot of energy, making them a more common decision in large and lofty spaces or outside on a patio.<\/p>\n<p>Though they deliver heat differently, both infrared and oil-filled heaters are subject to the same wattage limitations, and have about the same efficiency, as electrical resistance heaters.<\/p>\n<p>The same cannot be said for <strong>heat pumps<\/strong>, a newer technology that\u2019s expected to provide the next generation of household heat. Heat pumps don\u2019t use energy to create heat. Instead, they move heat energy from one place to another. Accordingly, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/how-do-heat-pumps-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">require far less energy than other forms of heater<\/a>.

How loud is it? How quickly and evenly can it heat a room?<\/p>\n<p>During intensive testing of dozens of space heaters, I lived for weeks in a home with the thermostat set to a chilly 65 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n<p>I tested how well and quickly each device heated a medium-size room (14 by 14 feet), and also how well it heated a small seating area in a larger, open-format space. To test each heater\u2019s thermostat and also measure the evenness of heating, I placed thermometers at three or more locations in each room, including behind the heater.<\/p>\n<p>I tested the loudness of each device with a decibel meter at 3 feet away and verified power usage with a wattmeter. To see whether the heater\u2019s exhaust put out painful levels of heat, I used an infrared thermometer to gauge precise surface temperatures. When in doubt, I put my own fingers on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I tested safety features and basic durability. I looked at independent safety certifications, of course. But I also rudely knocked over each device to verify how the device\u2019s tip-over protections functioned, if at all, and verified that the device started working again when set back on its feet.<\/p>\n<p>To test overheat protection, I smothered each device with an old sheet to see whether the device shut itself off or whether it adjusted its power output to keep internal temperature low. After the device shut itself off, I then checked how soon it could turn back on, if it ever did. (Some heaters gave up, in permanent complaint!)<\/p>\n<p>If any device fails the tip-over or overheat tests, we don\u2019t recommend it. If it\u2019s significantly louder than 50 decibels at 3 feet, we don\u2019t recommend it. If the heater breaks during routine operation, we don\u2019t recommend it. Maddening rattles and squeaks are also disqualifying.<\/p>\n<p>We keep on testing our favorites through the cold season and beyond, to see how they hold up over time. And, of course, we continually subject more heaters to our testing regimen to see if other devices can oust our current faves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2\/>\n<p><h2>More Space Heaters I Recommend<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"GenericCalloutWrapper-loJzHJ hNOewN callout--has-top-border\" data-testid=\"GenericCallout\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Device Appliance Electrical Device Electronics Speaker and Heater\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_768,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 768w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/698a344281ad78d91ca4428b\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Vornado-AVH10-Whole-Room-Heater-SOURCE-Mattthew-Korfhage.png\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk fSrqtv hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photograph: Matthew Korfhage<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vornado-AVH10-Settings-Advanced-Features\/dp\/B0FK5XX2VQ\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2QKuUE9XrFFhyh4bkqf362Br7uQnmTwbKkS3pf3d9ZWtPKnr5CB3ppniRjyBhYYH4MJkFjy7kUK5jpkp8GSjSDxgWSxcp9Y8q8ccGgdebAyfB3ZX7r2htwsLj5LSrhrx7VDNxwF4o53utnVfM9bRKU7uqD7VGck4ocw7DqbWbp3PubcykeLbh8FuuddKj9z2yJE15g4apQz5gZqfyGWQHTYY5MAfRcDYySZDEP2QHx7in68Mwgkbf6zdgf7rwUmk2n47KUj25S7c8hnhAAGhd3iBdLab7Jia84mqsUXY7KnddWaJWbHyvqh6qiteVw53cxQgvQLG2Qu&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2QKuUE9XrFFhyh4bkqf362Br7uQnmTwbKkS3pf3d9ZWtPKnr5CB3ppniRjyBhYYH4MJkFjy7kUK5jpkp8GSjSDxgWSxcp9Y8q8ccGgdebAyfB3ZX7r2htwsLj5LSrhrx7VDNxwF4o53utnVfM9bRKU7uqD7VGck4ocw7DqbWbp3PubcykeLbh8FuuddKj9z2yJE15g4apQz5gZqfyGWQHTYY5MAfRcDYySZDEP2QHx7in68Mwgkbf6zdgf7rwUmk2n47KUj25S7c8hnhAAGhd3iBdLab7Jia84mqsUXY7KnddWaJWbHyvqh6qiteVw53cxQgvQLG2Qu\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B0FK5XX2VQ\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"w050b-20\">Vornado AVH10<\/a>:<\/strong> Vornado has an unholy variety of models that look quite similar but have different levels of loudness and different feature sets.

This leads to a mostly quiet and nigh-undetectable column of warm air, directed out to the back of the room, where it scatters.

And the previous year\u2019s non-digital MVH was my favorite model before getting displaced by a couple newer models of Dreo and Vornado. It remains among the most silent, the most even in its heat, and among the most reasonably priced. However, the TAVH10 got a little quieter and the MVH got a little louder, and the addition of a remote and a timer makes it more attractive. This said, there are reasons to favor an analog device.

It\u2019s not the most obvious choice: It doesn\u2019t heat a room evenly, its grill surface gets wackily hot, and the thermostat is an inside joke. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d run it near babies or small dogs. And yet I still kept voting for it with my cold, cold feet. Why? Because this little thing can radically change my whole experience of life within about 15 seconds of being turned on. It brings the heat, as they say, though mostly within an 8-foot radius. Within that manifold, it\u2019s like living inside a hair dryer, which is more pleasant than it sounds. You\u2019re warm and lovely from your heart-cockles to your cankles. This is our previous pick for best foot warmer, and it\u2019s still a good pick. It\u2019s just not as versatile as our new top pick personal heater from Vornado.<\/p>\n<p><cm-unit\/><\/p>\n<p><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.sharkninja.com\/shark-turboblade-cool-heat-charcoal\/TH202.html\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.sharkninja.com\/shark-turboblade-cool-heat-charcoal\/TH202.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sharkninja.com\/shark-turboblade-cool-heat-charcoal\/TH202.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat:<\/strong><\/a> WIRED reviewer Kat Merck enjoyed the customizable airflow of Shark\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/shark-turboblade\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">original TurboBlade cooling fan<\/a> (7\/10, WIRED Recommends), which can be angled every which way for optimized airflow and is the perfect height for blasting air onto a bed. On cooling fan settings, these virtues remain true of the new Cool + Heat version. True to its name, the Cool + Heat model also adds a 1,400-watt heater to the equation, with emphasis on \u201clittle.\u201d The TurboBlade does not push air through its blade-like \u201cwings\u201d for heating, the way it does for cooling. Rather, it blows hot air only out of the small vent at the center of the device, whose aperture is only somewhat larger than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-hair-dryers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">some hair dryers<\/a>. The versatility of heating and cooling is nice. So is the ability to direct air upward or downward. And especially, I love that this Shark device\u2019s thermostat is actually accurate to within a single degree, and that the Shark automatically modulates its energy output to maintain temperature in a room. This avoids the wild on-off swings of some less sophisticated heaters. But for such a small heater, the TurboBlade is quite big and loud. Even on low settings, the high-pitched jet engine whir never stops. Standing in front of it on high settings, my phone registers 70 decibels. So I\u2019d recommend this for someone who predominantly wants to use the device as a fan. The heater is more of a secondary function.<\/p>\n<p><ad position=\"mid-content\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DeLonghi-SlimStyle-Convection-Heater-Asphalt\/dp\/B07HHYCGT3\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/hVt5qe48J652wmbzoNkNYi2gb47atzkDQYmhVTKt1QWhpBcEHDVUwKmELMVzNrGPHWgiwtYh4fAr9dgwmW1aM5MoPXJnF1b9WCwGMKrZc7eCGjAhpsQ9M7xAzaSUtdyA4GUZMY2NpvVH2mt71kgtzcCn88ji1QPGrjVxmcrYCYssELfGJ23jpuXBwhu1932g99U2mK1UpBy296fKk2ET8Fix2biWrMSKTEXNN25AquR6gbm3yE7FPwH48mkpq4ncZeCB9mBJmCNxPmpijKBQ4Mo5wJNAkLoFLNfXptsV5VSh6kwkGNrsGUvbN3erLq3SSeC7bFbycuWH84Uhs&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/hVt5qe48J652wmbzoNkNYi2gb47atzkDQYmhVTKt1QWhpBcEHDVUwKmELMVzNrGPHWgiwtYh4fAr9dgwmW1aM5MoPXJnF1b9WCwGMKrZc7eCGjAhpsQ9M7xAzaSUtdyA4GUZMY2NpvVH2mt71kgtzcCn88ji1QPGrjVxmcrYCYssELfGJ23jpuXBwhu1932g99U2mK1UpBy296fKk2ET8Fix2biWrMSKTEXNN25AquR6gbm3yE7FPwH48mkpq4ncZeCB9mBJmCNxPmpijKBQ4Mo5wJNAkLoFLNfXptsV5VSh6kwkGNrsGUvbN3erLq3SSeC7bFbycuWH84Uhs\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B07HHYCGT3\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"w050b-20\"><strong>De\u2019Longhi Slim-Style Portable Panel Heater:<\/strong><\/a> This electric panel heater is an interesting hybrid, with dual heat exhausts on each side but also a broad radiant heat panel.

The VC-02 is a bit like the 01 turned on its end and made into a tower heater. The VC-02 is in most ways a premium model, with more options in terms of power and fan settings. It\u2019s even quieter than its sister model\u2014in fact, it\u2019s one of the quietest heaters I\u2019ve tested, period. It has a thermostat that\u2019s reasonably accurate. It\u2019s also got a remote and the ability to swivel from side to side for full room coverage. (It does not pivot up and down, the way the VC-01 does.) But while I like all these features, its tower-heater shape makes it less optimized than the VC-01 for up-close heating, which is what ceramic heaters do best. At the beginning of the season, this had not yet come back in stock, but I\u2019ll continue monitoring.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Not Recommended<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"GenericCalloutWrapper-loJzHJ hNOewN callout--has-top-border\" data-testid=\"GenericCallout\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Bottle Shaker and Tape\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_768,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69d14efe5c0436dfecc545a5\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/_Heatbit-Maxi-1-source-Matthew-Korfhage-.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk fSrqtv hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photograph: Matthew Korfhage<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/heatbit.com\/pages\/heatbit-maxi-pro\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/4BfJvaXoLe6BJTwBLggEWnchF9n2AdF5J2aWoHwqsLhjwCsMe6UrxUnHKqikbvrx6UWTwECRDrqAD7AHY5X55EuTiCjXm2Q1yLPV6kCM8aFVwuCuUEAA26yMK452VJPsP1LYckQgNV1WYgyYXoPTyZnuxpEn99jpBmrL7evfLkk1LhLZ8hyPnokiy9LpLXcjxDAPyaNCpq2Mad4tduGdxaDd72YDDbNuRqGp81TdHGgwGSL6ZeRrSKKUKi7BZx4L2r2ehDTqF1qWYvcxiXn4ecXgz3f&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/4BfJvaXoLe6BJTwBLggEWnchF9n2AdF5J2aWoHwqsLhjwCsMe6UrxUnHKqikbvrx6UWTwECRDrqAD7AHY5X55EuTiCjXm2Q1yLPV6kCM8aFVwuCuUEAA26yMK452VJPsP1LYckQgNV1WYgyYXoPTyZnuxpEn99jpBmrL7evfLkk1LhLZ8hyPnokiy9LpLXcjxDAPyaNCpq2Mad4tduGdxaDd72YDDbNuRqGp81TdHGgwGSL6ZeRrSKKUKi7BZx4L2r2ehDTqF1qWYvcxiXn4ecXgz3f\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Heatbit Maxi Pro:<\/strong><\/a> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/heatbit-maxi-pro-bitcoin-miner-heater\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Heatbit Maxi Pro<\/a> (5\/10, WIRED Review) is a cool-looking, luxury-styled air purifier and heater with a twist: It offsets its energy use by mining Bitcoin. At the high energy rates and lagging Bitcoin price of 2026, the Bitcoin mining certainly wasn\u2019t profitable. But it did offset the cost of heating with the device by about a third, and made onboarding quite easy for Bitcoin novices. The app and safety features are admirable enough. But the Heatbit is neither a quiet heater nor a great air purifier, and its Bitcoin mining might take most of a decade to make up the $1,500 to $2,000 price tag of the device. In the end, the Heatbit is a conversation item, something to show off to houseguests.

It operates on the same principle as heat from the sun, warming surfaces (including people) directly rather than heating up the air. In the ideal case, this means you can feel more warmth while using less energy than a traditional heater. Its makers recommend it for those stubborn cold spots in a house. But I struggled with this heater. A wall-anchored heater offers less flexibility, and in the shorter term, a radiant heater provides warmth only directly in the path of the panel, meaning it must be positioned with quite a bit of care to be useful. The Kelvin also uses up quite a bit of wall space, and must be located near an outlet. By design, its front gets quite hot to the touch\u2014near boiling, in fact\u2014and the device projects quite a bit of heat backward into the wall even after a second-generation upgrade to its insulation. It\u2019s an interesting concept, with a smart app to track energy use, but the caveats add up.
