Unlike my apartment's heating system, which is hard to regulate (I'll set it to 69 degrees and five minutes later, the room is somehow at a sweltering 76 degrees), this portable space heater's thermostat works with the simple turn of two dials that set the temperature and heat level.

While this heater is similar in size to our best budget option, the large handle makes it easy to carry, and we think the fan-only mode is a plus, so it comes in handy even on warm days.
