Our Verdict

This Duraflame infrared tower heater claims to warm spaces up to 1,000 square feet. It uses infrared technology to deliver heat quickly. The oscillating feature spreads warmth around the entire room.

The timer runs from 30 minutes to 9 hours. You can set a sleep timer to warm your room before you arrive. Safer Plug technology monitors plug temperature and cuts power if it gets too hot.

This heater does not include tip-over protection. Most heaters at this price include this key safety feature. Without a thermostat, the heater cannot hold a steady target temperature on its own.

At $169.14, you pay a premium price with a limited feature set. Other heaters at this cost often include remote control and a thermostat. The cherry wood veneer design does add real visual appeal to any room.
