Check out our selection of the best space heaters:

halogen heater

Halogen heaters are those that work through incandescent resistors and serve to heat objects and not air. Its design is compact, protecting the resistors with a metal grid. This type of device usually has a lower price and good performance.

The tip is not to place it too close to objects and keep it out of damp places. Bet on a model for quick and easy use at home, be careful that the environment is not too dry and be careful with possible burns – as the grill overheats.

We recommend models:

Mondial Halogeno Heater 800W - R$ 109,00

This is the simplest model of a halogen air heater and the cheapest on our list. The main elements that complement the Mondial device are: two levels of temperature heating, security system (automatically shuts off in case of fall or instability) and ultra-practical design for its locomotion.

This Ventisol model has three halogen lamps - each exerting a power -, in addition to a reinforced base to maintain balance on smooth surfaces. Its size is excellent for travel or fitting positions in narrow rooms in your home. This appliance also has a fall arrest system.

fan heater

As the name suggests, the fan heater is an electrical device that works like a fan, but to heat the environment instead of cooling it. This is due to the strategic position of the heater resistor on the propeller. In this way, heat waves dissipate much more easily as the user prefers from the power control.

This is one of the models that usually sell more in the market, due to its great cost-benefit. It is great for homes and sustains the entire process. In addition, the handheld device is lightweight and can be carried to different locations. Its negative points are the same as halogen - special attention to very dry air, which is harmful to health!

Oil heater

Oil appliances have great and powerful resistance. From the oil that the heater emits heat waves around it indirectly, which makes the environment not dry.

These air heaters are larger and have small wheels for locomotion, so they are usually suitable for rooms at home. Due to their greater resistance, they tend to be more expensive and take a while to heat up, which in turn increases energy usage. Either way, the experience is still cozy.

Its size is large and it is usually more expensive. It is not recommended for use in apartments, as the risk of explosions, especially at night, or of gas leaks, is greater. Opt for this model in larger, more open places, such as restaurants, where it is even more appropriate.
