Preferably one that is skinny. Need for a 10x12 bedroom and one for a regular full bath. So small foot print if possible. Not sure yet on how much we'd like to spend so open to any price ranges. Bedroom one would be nice if it can be trusted to be on all night and app control probably would be beneficial. Thanks in advance.

you are talking about a space hear so small footprint in tough. But we use a cabinet infrared heater and it works great and is inexpensive to use. I also use one of the oil filled radiator type elect. heaters and it is also very good and economical to use. So those two would be my recomendation based on my experience.

I'm a fan of the oil filled radiator type like this. They will warm up a room and keep it warm even turned down pretty low so they aren't getting too hot:



Amazon Basics Portable Oil Radiator Heater for Indoor Use

I bought a small tower heater from Amazon two years ago. It works great in my 12x16 office. I see it's on sale right now.

I have a couple of the Dyson hot/cold units. Kinda pricey but they work well. They can be a fan or a heater. They sell the reconditioned ones on Woot all the time.

Do your research. I watched a video once and it explained that even if the heater say it has higher wattage, it cannot provide more heat.

There is a max output despite what is advertised.

I've had this one in my 10x11 master bathroom for the past 5+ years.

Reasonably priced, a ceramic element, and a small footprint at around 7 inches by 8 inches.

It has a remote control, but not an app.

I've never tried to run mine overnight, but it does appear to have an 8 hour timer, so that implies it's designed to run for long periods.

I just run mine while the bathroom is in use during the winter, mostly because I hate stepping out of a hot shower into a chilly bathroom.

Both my full baths have 220v in-wall fan heaters that are operated via a timer switch on the wall, so they take no room at all. I used that kind of switch so "others" in the family couldn't just go in and turn it up to 90* or max then forget to turn it back down when leaving. The rooms also have registers so stay plenty warm not to freeze but it's nice having a very warm bathroom when showering.

Yes, sir! I've used those both at home and at work for a good long time. Easy to use, quick to heat, easy to store.

You could upgrade the plug to a smart plug, Lowes, Home Desperate, Amazon, this would give you the control to turn power on and off with your phone and set a schedule for it such as start at 5AM to begin warming the room up, and power off at 9am so it doesn't run all day.

We’ve got one of these too. Nothing negative to say about it.

This is your safest and more economical to run options, as the oil filled radiator holds heat even after the element has shut off.

Thanks for the suggestions. I forgot about the oil sealed ones. Had one many years ago and it did work well. All enclosed. Will look into all of these. And the smart plug would work just fine. I actually have a couple new in box I haven't found a use for yet but now I have. Thanks.

I've had really good luck with those small cube heaters.

Vornado from Costco work well for me. The oil filled are better to use if left on al the time, ceramic heat up quickly and are great for intermittent use.

My home office is at the far end of our hvac run, and can be a bit slow in getting up to comfort levels during the winter months. I've had good luck with a DREO brand ceramic heater, and nicely jump starts the office temp. Has a ton of safety features, and seems solidly built. I'd buy it again.

Once you start using them, they multiply, now all our night time lights we would have had to manually turn on and off are on smart plugs, with timers set for each. Also put in smart bulbs for the two garage lamps and front porch and an added bonus they can be made to change colors for Halloween, Christmas.

I added several spare plugs for Christmas lights and other decorations. They become addictive...

We run a couple of these during the winter months. They do a great job keeping the areas comfortable. We also noticed a significant decrease in our monthly utility bills because we didn't need to run our central air nearly as often.

I'm not sure I'd trust one of these with 1500W plugged in.

We've had good luck with the oil ones. They do take a bit to warm, but stable once there. Don't be fooled into thinking they will be less likely to start an electrical fire though, they pull 1500W or more as well.

I think I can help you with how to better heat your home....

Oil filled is my choice for enclosed spaces. Not a fan of directional for enclosed areas.
