Dreo DR-HSH004 Space Heater Review Verdict

The Dreo space heater is an excellent way to stay warm in colder months. Heating capabilities are impressive. I was shocked at how the Dreo portable heater was able to instantly blast warm air. The different modes are good for a variety of environments, and of course you can manually set the temperature as well.

Heat goes pretty far. Even several feet away, you can feel the heat pretty well. I appreciated the oscillation capabilities. This let the Dreo warm the whole room. I set the Dreo on an end table facing the center of the room, turned on oscillation, and let the space heater work its magic.

It’s compact and portable with a built-in handle that makes lugging it between rooms a breeze. With a design resembling a smart speaker, the Dreo is attractive in any setting. I liked the ability to carry it from my living room to my home office and bedroom as I moved around my house during the day. The cold-touch design was a pleasant surprise. Despite pumping out warm air, the Dreo itself remains cool to the touch.

With temperatures below freezing and a drafty apartment, I was able to use the Dreo to generate heat while saving on my energy bill. Because the Dreo space heater offered localized warmth, I didn’t have to jack up the thermostat temperature.

The timer is a nice touch. At night, I plopped the Dreo space heater on my nightstand, turned on the timer, and fell asleep with the Dreo powering off on its own after the allotted time. Additionally, the Dreo remains quiet. I was able to use the space heater while watching movies or TV and at night when falling asleep with no issues whatsoever.

Safety is crucial and there are some essential security measures that gave me added peace of mind. Tip-over protection turns the device off in the event that it falls over. Upon turning the space heater off, the heating unit immediately powers down while the blower continues for 30 seconds to cool the device fully. There’s also overheat protection in the evet that the Dreo gets too hot and a 24-hour auto-off function that shuts the unit off if the heater has been running for 24 continuous hours.

While heat output is plenty for a small to medium room, the Dreo is a modestly-sized device. For some larger spaces, it might not quite be sufficient to fully warm the entire room. Still, the Dreo space heater is incredibly affordable, portable, and heats up shockingly fast making it one of the best space heaters on the market.
