For a living room or bedroom that needs an oscillating tower with a set temperature, a timer and a 3 year warranty. Buy it over the HCE317B only if it is the cheaper of the two.
Amazon $82.24For a living room or basement where a quiet blower heater with a real thermostat and remote should run for hours. The “infrared” label is marketing: it gives the same heat as any 1,500 W heater.
Amazon $104.99For a living room or bedroom where a slim panel looks better than a tower and a set temperature matters. The fans make it quicker than an oil radiator but not silent.
