If you've been fighting the winter blues in those cold rooms of the house, now's the time to invest in a space heater. Not only will it pleasantly warm whichever space you're in, but it'll beat condensation, improve air quality and help dry your delicate laundry – what's not to love?
Space heaters are one of the surest and most comforting ways to beat excessive humidity at home while being one of the most affordable heating types there is. I know this from extensive coverage as Homes & Gardens' home tech editor and as somebody who uses their portable heater pretty much every day at this cold time of year.
While looking for the best Presidents' Day home sales, I saw that Walmart has launched a flash deal on the Dreo Ceramic Space Heater, dropping its price from $69.99 all the way down to $29.89. That's a huge $40 discount on a handy appliance from a brand I personally love and vouch for, so it's definitely worth checking out while the deal's live.
A budget heater that's worth every cent
This Dreo Space Heater can quickly heat up a room up to 300 square feet, with thermal sensors to maintain your desired temperature. It's a tiny machine, only taking up 10 inches of vertical space, making it small enough to fit on a coffee table or desk.
The last Dreo product I tested was the Dreo Air Purifier Tower Fan, and it's something I still use in my own home months later. It has useful features and strong airflow that reaches the whole room, and I'm confident their ceramic space heater is no different.
Using 1500 watts of power, the space heater is designed to heat a room quickly. It has warm air circulation to heat your whole space, or focused heating when you need it on yourself or to remove condensation inside windows.
You can set it from 41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit and it comes with an easy carry handle to take it around the house. This is super useful when reducing humidity in different rooms like the basement or kitchen, and to help solve the problem if your home's heating unevenly.
It's great that the heater is mostly automatic, too. Thermal sensors make sure your room is staying at your desired temperature, like if your home needs a certain temperature to stop mold from growing. It also has tilt-detection sensors, flame retardant materials and overheat protection for added peace of mind on the heater's safety.
This space heater is only 10 inches tall and can fit on a coffee table or the corner of a room. Still, it can cover spaces up to 300 square feet, and can run as quietly as 34 decibels – a very quiet whisper.
The Dreo Space Heater is available for just $29.89 at Walmart, and it's a flash deal so make sure to act quick.
