Best Space Heater? Safest and Deadliest? Let’s Find Out!

"(F)ilters are easy to install, no engineering degree is required." That's why we love you Todd. You get right to the point, tight editing and little gems thrown in to see if we're awake. As a former teacher I love that. Great job!

As an HVAC technician, I always recommend the oil filled radiator style, safest IMO

Todd you're a lifesaver. I've been fervently researching space heaters & the anxiety around it has been overwhelming; I need something that won't burn down my home while I wait for some much needed HVAC work to be done. Thankfully you've tested these bad boys and now I can make a purchase with a little less worry & a bit more confidence 😄

Great comparison as usual! If you're using a small space heater to heat an unoccupied space to prevent freeze damage, (garage, small shop or greenhouse), get one with manual switching and thermostat. If the electric service should blink off and right back on while you're asleep, the heater will resume heating. The solid state switches will default to off, and your plants or pipes could freeze.

Love that you mentioned peak power draw vs a 15amp breaker. Such an important thing to note that 99% of people wont think of.

Makes me happy to see this Channel with over 3 million subscribers now. I started watching long ago when there was a couple hundred thousand and thinking wow, this guy deserves a lot more subscribers because these reviews and real world tests are pure gold! By far the best source of unbiased consumer reviews in my opinion, and 3 million other peoples it seems.

Todd thank you for testing everything a homeowner needs. Your tests are just so ridiculously crazy and accurate! You test things that big agencies like Consumer Reports never would think of but would be an issue in normal use.

Had the Dreo about 1.5 years and I like how quiet it is. The original stopped oscillating after about 6 months but I did use it about 12 hours a day. They cheerfully replaced it after the Amazon return period. Considering getting their oil radiator for another colder room.

Not sure if you've done this before but a recent video comparing surge protectors would be neat. Especially highly rated ones with higher joules protection ratings. Always enjoy the videos and details you put into making them!

These are probably one of the troublesome events for electrical outlets that occur on houses and apartments. As an electrician I say " Thank you " for making a review that could potentially save families from electrical fires. Again this is why I am a subscribed member to the Project Farm Channel !...

IMHO, this is one of the most helpful sites on Youtube. Thank you very much!

Honestly this might be one of the most important videos for consumer safety going into January when it gets incredibly cold in some areas

I have a Mr. Heater that has two burners and uses two tanks. There's also an option to connect a larger propane tank with an adapter and hose. Over the last few years it's been great for heating my small garage if I want/need to do some work when it's cold.

I must say you out in a lot of time for these reviews. Great work! They helped me with at least two purchases.

I use the Mr. Heater for my sailboat cabin. It works great for heating up the space and obviously is perfect for being away from the marina's power source. I especially like how quiet it runs and it doesnt send vibrations through the hull.

As someone with a busted HVAC system. I'm using the same DREO heater on this video and another bigger DREO. I must say when it comes to heating, they are great. At around 20 degrees F (-5 c) it does keep the room at incredible temperature. You let it run at 72 all night and can get really warm. I'm writing this before watching the video. Just to let people know, if struggling with cold and in my situation, broke with no money to fix the heating system. DREO is great. Also have a heat storm for the living room. Keeps it at around 69-70. (700 SQ feet living room)

I would love a video comparing indoor propane heaters and how much carbon monoxide they produce. Great video as usual.

Hi Todd! Been loving your videos for years and appreciate you testing house hold appliances like heaters. I love drinking coffee and always wondered if a $15 coffee bean grinder can stand up to the more expensive fancy ones. Or even what the best coffee pot/method would be.

Thank you! This is a fantastically comprehensive test and I appreciate all the work you put into it! I have two Dyson heaters that are also cooling fans. The heating capacity died on both of them after about 10-12 years being used regularly in a very cold area of Colorado. When first purchased they were between $325-375 which was quite expensive. I really paused at repurchasing them with the large price increase to $550. While I felt they were safe and easy to use I have decided to save some money and give the Dreo a chance. I did recently purchase a Lasko ceramic heater at Costco for my 94 year old mother-in-law’s room. Her cognitive abilities are on the decline so she cannot remember it is not safe to run the heater full blast day and night. I bought the Lasko because it has a child lock which renders the controls inoperable for her and keeps us all safe. 😊

Would have loved to see an oil filled radiator included in this.Thanks for the great content!
