Dreo 16 Inch Electric Heater for Home, 34dB Silent Ceramic Heater, 70° Oscillation Space Heaters Energy Efficient, 3-Mode 3-Speed, Overheating & Tip-Over Protection, 12H Timer, Solaris Slim H3

Quite quiet, certainly not as loud as a traditional fan heater, but not silent. Gives out a decent amount of heat even at the lowest setting, not a terribly strong air flow though, good enough for a small room. The oscillation is good, spreads the heat around the room a bit. Power consumption is as advertised 900/1100/1800W although it draws a bit more than those figures while it gets up to temp, but only for a minute of so. It does 'remember' what it was set at when turned off, even if unplugged, so starts at the same settings next time it's turned on. Bought used - like new from Amazon Warehouse so saved £20! Very pleased.

I work in a portacabin 5.5x3.5m and in it gets cold in the winter. I do have heating which works ok until the weather gets really cold and it then becomes expensive to keep on all day. I started looking for a smaller more personal heater. I spent a few days looking at various types and technologies (Fan, Ceramic and halogen) I opted for the good looking Dreo ceramic 16 model after reading some reviews. (The discount option may have also persuaded my final decision).Anyway I'm really glad I went for this one. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much heat the Dreo throws out for it's size. It gets hot very quickly the oscillate function also helps warm the surrounding area up. It's compact size means I can move it around where I need it. While you can have it floor or desk standing I would beware having it on a desk unless it's a really big desk as it gets hot.How I use the heater, I come into the cabin early switch on the main heater for an hour to take the chill out of the room I then have the Dreo on standby and just use it to keep me warm. The remote control is a really nice option. I just switch it on to one of the three heat settings (it also has an eco option to choose your own heat setting.) and turn off/on as required for instant heat rather than having to wait 20-30 mins for the big heater to work.In a smaller room this heater would be very adequate.Overall this is a great looking cheap option to freezing and I'm really happy to recommend this product.

This little heater packs a lot of punch for its size. I immediately tested it versus my central heating, and found it heats my living room considerably faster than the radiators. It really doesn't take long even in the winter, when I've been out and left the heating on, to get the room warm. I'm definitely impressed by its output, and my rooms have high ceilings so I assume it would be even better if I didn't, although they're not enormous length and width, fairly standard sized terrace rooms. I've also ran the numbers with my smart meter app, and found it could definitely save me money versus heating the entire house just to get one room warm (I live on my own and usually spend the evening either in my bedroom or my living room), although I've no idea how it would compare economically to running just the radiator of the room I'm in - other than that it would be far far faster. It's also great that it has a little internal thermostat to keep the room temperature at a good level. I think most people would save money using this if they're usually only keeping one room warm, but with the caveat that you should keep windows and doors closed whilst doing this, or else you're sending the warm air away and the heater will run almost constantly to try to keep up and may cost a pretty penny.I've noticed a few little inconsistencies with it (the other night I put the temp down a degree even though it wasn't sending heat out, then suddenly it came on), but on the whole it seems to keep the temperature at a good level, with a handy remote to control it. It's also pretty light, with a little carry groove, making it easy to relocate it to another room.Really, the only drawback, and it can be an expensive one so I've knocked a whole star off, is the way its switch off timer works. You can set how many hours of idling it takes before the heater switches itself off. But it seems every time you switch the device off (or at least when you switch it off at the wall, which I believe the instruction manual says to do when you leave it unattended) whatever number you've set previously is gone, and it seems like it goes back to a default of probably 12 hours. So when you start it up again, you have to remember to put the idling timer back to something sensible. If you forget to do this, and to switch the device off yourself, then go to bed say, it will keep running for up to 12 hours heating a room with nobody in it, which of course can get expensive. It's such a shame, because it seems a simple oversight/design flaw to have fixed, but if you're not diligent it may wipe out any cost savings (when my friend was over and left it running for hours when I was asleep, and kept the doors open, it ran me up about £7 a day above my normal bill). I don't see in this day and age how it would cost any more to have it remember your last setting - it does remember the last temperature you set.On a similar note, another weird quirk is that if the heater isn't actively heating the room, and you press the power button, it just brings up the lit-up digits to tell you what temperature you've set the heater to. This implies the heater is on, which it already was. If you press it again the number vanishes, but I'm not clear yet on whether this second press fully switches the heater off. I think it does, as the small white light showing the Eco setting I'm using vanishes, but the small red light stays on. If the heater is actively heating and you press the power button, it starts a 15-second timer to switching off. It would be nice if it did this when the heater isn't active too, to make it nice and clear. Until I'm sure it's turning off I'll have to switch it off at the plug every time. It could just be a little easier to tell when this thing is fully off.With just a few simple tweaks to the programming, this could easily have got a 5 star from me, so if you think you can look past these quirks and be diligent switching it off, it's still one I could recommend. Oh, I also ordered the gold but received the silver. Just something to be aware of if the aesthetics matter to you, you may end up with either version.

Been looking for a heater for my garden office for years that doesn't cost the earth to run. I've tried them all, oil radiator, electric radiator, infared heater (useless!), fan heater - all either ineffective or megabucks to run. This *I think is the answer. Heats up space in about 10 minutes even from really low temperatures (-2C yesterday morning) and maintains the temperature really well all day on Eco setting which is at 900W. Prrof of the pudding is my next leccie bill, but suspoect it will be much lower as most of my previous appliances have been 1500-2000W.Only downside is it won't work with Alexa/Google Home smart plugs so can't programme to come on to preheat office, but I can live with that.Great piece of kit and looks nice too and unobtrusive. Quiet enough too.

Love this heater, perfect size for my bedroom, small but powerful heat and it oscillates ... perfect. It looks attractive and is light and easy to move around with very little noise.
