The only infrared heater on our top 10 list, the Unique Heat Space Heater earns a spot here because it's powerful, easy to use, and effective.

Infrared heat is different from the more standard ceramic space heaters because, rather than simply raising the air temperature of the entire room, an infrared heater directly warms you and other objects for an extended period of time. Plus, Unique Heat's patented heat exchange technology doesn't dry out the air like other space heaters and furnaces. Instead, any humidity you have in the air stays in the air, leaving you with warmth that heats evenly from wall to wall and floor to ceiling.

Packed with 5,200 BTU of heating power, this Unique Heat Infrared Heater actually heats larger rooms rather than just a small area. Now, with that extra power comes some extra dollars on the price tag. But it's a worthy investment knowing it'll keep you and your family toasty all winter long.

Despite its size, this heater is actually pretty lightweight and easy to move around thanks to carrying handles and wheels. And even though infrared heat is generally safer to use, this Unique Heat model still values safety as it's equipped with an anti-tip sensor and housing that's cool to the touch. That means it's safe to use in households with little ones and pets.

While neither cheap nor compact, the Unique Heat Infrared Space Heater is a powerful unit that does a fantastic job warming your home and is worth the extra cost if you want to safely and reliably heat larger spaces.

A compact unit that packs a powerful punch, the ProBreeze 1500W Mini Ceramic Space Heater is a super-budget-friendly way to quickly heat up a smaller room or area.

Safety is always a concern with space heaters, but rest assured... this unit has you covered with tip-over shutoff and overheating protection. If the heater is accidentally knocked over or gets too hot, it will shut itself off. That's peace of mind you can't put a price tag on.

Speaking of price tags, the ProBreeze 1500W Mini Ceramic Space Heater doesn't have much of one! It provides plenty of value to anyone on a budget who still wants to effectively heat up any small area.

And since you can easily tote the JETERY 1500W Ceramic Space Heater from room to room with one hand, it's a no-brainer to have it on-hand once the temperatures start falling.

Don't expect this DeLonghi space heater to be effective in a large area — it's designed to heat up smaller spaces, and it does a great job of that. It also offers peace of mind thanks to safety features like an automatic tip-over off switch and thermal shutoff that prevents overheating. What does that mean? That you can relax in warmth without worry.

An adjustable thermostat lets you set your comfort level, and the 24-hour programmable timer means you can automatically warm up a room at the coldest time each day. Cool thing is, you don't have to put the DeLonghi 5120 BTU Ceramic Space Heater away for the summer--it offers a fan-only mode that distributes a comfortable breeze during the warmer weather!

Turn the thermostat down this winter. Why? Because if you're primarily going to be in one room for an extended period of time (say, when you're sleeping or watching a movie or binge-watching your favorite show or partaking in an all-night gaming session), it'll save you some on your heating bill. Besides, the Vornado TAVH10 Vortex Heater will take care of the temperature so you're nice and cozy.

The Vornado TAVH10 offers two heat settings, but its best feature may be the Vortex Action airflow, which creates a twisting current of air that circulates the heat throughout the entire room, using walls and ceilings as pathways. That's how this heater can efficiently warm even a larger room. Use the auto climate control to adjust and maintain the room temperature so you're always comfortable.

As with any space heater, safety is paramount. So you'll be glad to know that the Vornado TAVH10 is equipped with plenty of precautions, like a cool-touch casing and safety shutoff. Speaking of peace of mind, Vornado offers a 5-year warranty on this heater!

If you're looking to warm a bedroom or similarly sized room, it will do its job. Choose between high and low heat settings to find your perfect comfort level.

The thermostat is programmable; however, it can only be programmed in five-degree increments, something worth keeping in mind. Not only will the Lasko 5165 space heater add more comfort to your home, it'll also comfort you with its built-in safety features, such as automatic overheating protection and a cool-to-the-touch housing.
