Dreo Oil Filled Radiator, Electric Radiant Heaters for indoor use Large Room with Remote Control, Child Lock, 4 Modes, Overheat & Tip-Over Protection, 24h Timer, Digital Thermostat, Quiet, 1500W

My central heat is down waiting on a part, and of course the weather got cold. I was using a infrared convection heater I already to warm my bedroom but had some safety concerns with it. I remember my grandparents using a oil filled heater like this back in the 90s for heating an small added room in there house and it did pretty good. I went online and found them pretty reasonable as far as cost and many we’re similar to what they had but then I saw this Dreo brand with remote, timer and digital display and decided to try it. I’m glad it did. The next day I ordered a second one. It kept me toasty all night and I was able to sleep better knowing it wasn’t goin to catch fire as the elements is inside and it radiates a gentle heat. I liked the design of this Dreo not only for the digital features and remote but it also has a nice modern design with rounded fins and a bit more surface area. It displays the current temp then goes off so it won’t keep you up with the light and I can set a start timer each day and a time off to save energy. I kept it on eco mode and it does a nice job of warming my bedroom. I ordered a second one for my den. Even when my central heat is fixed it will come in handy to take the chill off in my room so I can keep my central set lower. If you don’t need the remote or digital control a dial one will work just fine. If you plan to move it from room to room without allowing it to cool down you may want to choose one with a better handle. You can move it warm but the handle does get somewhat warm and the ends get hot too. But unlike a exposed element heater it’s much more economical and safer as the oil inside keeps warmth while it cycles the thermostat. Plus is quiet. My other heater buzzed and could get knocked over easy. This unit does have a tip over shut off but as long as you keep it in a area to itself your good it’s very stable. I’ve seen these units from $65 to $150. Mine was $99. You can even find them with attachments for warming/ drying towels and clothes. I feel safe with the Dreo and that’s why I ordered a second unit

No need for a screw driver to put on the wheels. The screws come with wing nuts so you can just finger tighten them in. The screws lined up real easy with the holes. It's the room really nice and warm. You can adjust the thermostat for whatever temperature you like. The remote control is really handy. There is a timer that will shut the heater off After 1 hour or 2 hours or 3 hours etc. You can also program the heater to come on at a certain time in the morning. That is a great feature so that your room will be warm before you get out of bed. It does get kind of hot but not hot enough to blister your skin just hot enough that you know you shouldn't hold on to it. I have 4 cats and was afraid they might burn themselves. But if they touched it they would be off of it quick enough there would be no injury. No fan to make noise for suck and dust that you have to clean..

Last update: I've already pulled this heater out to start using again after putting it away during summer and it's still working great. I used this heater everyday through the winter last year and plan to do the same this year. It puts out good heat and overall it's been a great heater. Glad I purchased this brand and hope to get a few more winters from this heater.Update: I've been using this heater pretty much everyday for over a month now and I'm very happy with it. I was hoping it would help save some on the power bill even if it was only $5 or $10 since its advertised energy efficient and has eco mode but, I'll be honest, I didn't really see any difference in my bill using this one versus my old heaters I use to use or even the others I tried but it does do very well with heating what I need it to and it heats up faster than some others I've had. I really like this heater so I hope it lasts awhileI just got this and have used for about a day and a half so will update again after some use. First the shipping was quick which was great because I needed asap. I really like the look of this heater and it heats up quickly. I seen some reviews talking about an odor and the booklet says to run on high for a couple hours to dispelle any odors but mine doesn't have a smell to it thankfully, no odors at all. It took a min to figure everything out as far as settings and such but it's pretty simple once you do. My first 2 heaters like this one I had for 10 yrs one went out then a month later the other since then I've bought 4 different brands and the longest I got before they just stopped working was 6 months so I don't think they are made as well as they use to be but I have heard nothing but good things with this brand and figure it was my next choice and I have high hopes for this one and I hope I get a few years out of it. If not, as much as I love this type of heat this will be my last purchase. So far though I'm really liking this one, it heats really well and I like all the safety features it has. I would recommend it at this time. I will update again after I get some use out of it and I hope the next update will be nothing but good things on this heater.
