If you’re searching for best space heaters on Amazon, you’re likely shivering, swathed in blankets, and in need of one, like, yesterday. City dwellers rarely have proper control of their thermostat, and rural dwellers are first to lose power in the event of any winter inclement weather. Meaning? We all need space heaters at one time or another. We’ve collected our very favorite of Amazon’s options—from portable space heaters to ceramic space heaters to oil-filled radiators—with every amenity imaginable: eco mode, digital display, fan modes, highly customizable heat settings. Whatever your need, whatever the size of your room, we’ve got you covered with personal heaters and room heaters for freezing rooms large and small. And while Amazon often beats the price of other retailers, we’re especially partial to it in this case for Prime’s two-day shipping policy—that means you’ll have to wrap yourself in your many throw blankets for just 48 more hours.
Our Top Picks for the Best Amazon Space Heaters
This is a top pick for our commerce editor Nashia Baker: “Dreo’s space heater has been a winter essential for me over the last year! When cold weather hits in New York, it helps regulate the temperature in my space with its powerful heating and oscillation.” Another perk? You can set the exact temperature using the remote control or control panel. Customers review this as a quiet, efficient option, with the ability to heat up a small apartment and laud its safety features, namely overheat protection.
Dimensions: 6″D x 7″W x 11″H
Heating coverage: 200 square feet
Special features: Overheat protection, tip-over protection, enhanced safety plug
The beloved Dyson. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher reviewed this device as one that packs a punch: “It’s rare to find a machine that can purify your air, humidify it, and cool down a space all in one—so I was impressed right off the bat. An update to earlier Dyson models, this machine does all that and aside from getting rid of the usual particles, it also removes formaldehyde (which can cause even more irritation to your eyes and throat) from the air.” It also oscillates up to 350 degrees. That’s five times the oscillation degree of our other picks. This single model knocks out a lot of other things in your Amazon wishlist, so you don’t have to endure the search for air purifiers and fans besides.
Dimensions: 9.84″D x 9.84″W x 30.2″H
Heating coverage: 73 square feet
Special features: Air Multiplier technology circulates purified air throughout the whole room, remote controlled, oscillates up to 350º
For those who like a classic look and aren’t too scarred by years of living in pre-war apartment circumstances, this oil-filled radiator from De’Longhi (yes! of coffee maker fame!) delivers the same quality as a more modern looking choice with the 1,500 watts we’ve come to expect, and its thermal slot design that maximizes heat flow into the room while maintaining a low surface temperature. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher says, “We use this oil heater to warm a very drafty room above the garage and it keeps the space nice and toasty without any super loud fans or operating noises, which has been my experience with a lot of other space heaters.” The lack of fan keeps dust and dirt from being swept up in the process, so you can enjoy a warm room sneeze-free.
Dimensions: 6.5″D x 15.5″W x 27″H
Heating coverage: Small to medium spaces
Special features: Thermal slot design maximizes heat flow into the room while maintaining a low surface temperature
For the tower heater people: This Lasko model has over 66,000 dazzling reviews, likely because it’s left nothing off the list with 1,500 wattage, an adjustable thermostat, a seven-hour auto shut-off feature for energy saving, a remote control, various heating modes, overheat protection, and heating coverage up to 300 square feet. Need we go on? We could.
Dimensions: 8.3″D x 7.25″W x 22.5″H
Heating coverage: 300 square feet
Special features: Two heat settings, 7-hour auto-off timer, remote-controlled
More Space Heaters To Love
Say you don’t need the kind of space heater that warms a whole room—you just want toasty conditions in your home office. Amazon has thought one step ahead of you with this ceramic space heater, which is a great choice for those looking to keep from blasting the HVAC when it drops below 60 degrees. Perhaps the most portable on our list.
Dimensions: 5.8″D x 3.4″W x 6.0″H
Heating coverage: N/A
Special features: Tip-over protection
A great choice for those looking to heat up just one room. The high wattage on this model makes for a fast heating experience. This space heater, like many others on this list, employs PTC— Positive Temperature Coefficient—a heating element that automatically regulates temperature by increasing resistance as it gets hotter so your model can’t overheat. This is also a great choice for fitful sleepers: The LED display has an automatic shut-off and otherwise doesn’t create much light or noise so you can rest easy.
Dimensions: 6.4″D x 4.8″W x 9.09″H
Heating coverage: 150 square feet
Special features: Overheat protection, tip-over protection, adjustable thermostat
Another great multifunctional choice, this GiveBest portable space heater delivers heat at both 1,500 watts or 750 watts, and works as a cold air fan. Heating up to 200 square feet, this space heater works to warm a home office as well as decently sized living room.
Dimensions: 6″D x 8″W x 9″H
Heating coverage: 200 square feet

With 5,200 BTU, this infrared space heater makes a great choice for medium to small spaces in need of a little toasting up. Their patented technology registers the humidity level of a room to provide heat without reducing the existing oxygen or humidity so you don’t dry out completely in the process of warming up. An attractive quality to the heat storm is its likeness to a wood stove, making it more of an aesthetic choice than perhaps some other, more industrial options.
Dimensions: 18.75″D x 4.5″W x 12.75″H
Heating coverage: Up to 750 square feet
Special features: Energy efficient, adjustable temperature, remote controlled, overheat protection
