1. Honeywell HZ365 Portable Heater

This Honeywell HZ365 compact ceramic heater works very well to add a cozy warmth to those cool areas of your home. Outstanding features for the price and it comes with a 5 year warranty. I especially like the oscillating feature and safety feature.  This heater was purchased to warm a workstation in a large office.  The heater is sold in black or white finish.

2. Holmes Whisper Quiet Portable Heater

This is a research-based heater review but I've had a good look at this heater and reviewed its features. It's a compact stable heater designed with a wide aerodynamic swirl grill to push the heat farther into the room. It has a convenient built-in handle for portability.  The compact design and electronic thermostat are its best features.  As for noise level, it operates quietly on the lowest setting.

3. Noma Convection Wall Heater

The best feature of this convection heater, is the energy efficiency.  Since I do not have historical data to compare the energy savings, I have to rely on general industry data that convection heaters uses 30% less energy than traditional baseboard heaters. Even though this heater is large and takes considerable space on the wall, I would install (and plan to) more of these - just because of the energy efficiency.
