Cold spots are one of the most common winter complaints we hear from readers and HVAC professionals – and they’re often the reason people end up heating their entire home just to feel more comfortable in one room.

But knowing how to use targeted heating effectively is key in cold snaps, or older homes with unbalanced heating, which is why I'm snapping up this Dreo Whole Room Heater discounted to just $89.99 at Amazon. It oscillates horizontally and vertically to circulate warm air around an entire room, something my current space heater cannot do.

One of the biggest misconceptions about space heaters is that their small size limits how effectively they can warm a room. I know first-hand this isn't true – I work from home every day, and my space heater keeps my home office toasty without having to subject my housemates to higher energy bills from raising the temperature across the whole house.

This is because airflow and heat distribution are what really make a difference and will help you heat your home more efficiently. This Dreo model combines 1500W ceramic heating power with a powerful airflow system that reaches up to 12 ft per second, allowing warm air to travel far beyond the heater's immediate area.

What really sets it apart, though, is its oscillation. With up to 90° horizontal and 60° vertical oscillation, warm air is actively circulated around the room rather than pooling in one area. That’s why users describe the experience of rooms feeling evenly warm within minutes, instead of gradually warming one side of a space while cold pockets linger elsewhere.

'This is the best electric heater I have ever owned,' wrote one reviewer on Amazon. 'The effect was instant. The whole room was warm within a couple of minutes. The whole room.'

This is something I'd love to see in my own space heater, and the main reason why I'm snapping up this deal. Over time, my existing space heater will make the entire room feel warm, but until then, it's only heating up the immediate area around it. Having one that circulates hot air around an entire space will be a game-changer in the extreme cold snaps that often happen in January and February.

After our Head of Solved, Punteha van Terheyden, tested the new heating standard, we discovered that our homes and our health should turn up our thermostats to 70°F rather than 66°F. It didn't alter bills in her well-insulated newly-built home as the heat that was pumped out was trapped inside well, and reduced the running cycles of the heating system.

But if your home needs draft-proofing, finding an alternative heating method, such as the great value Dreo heater, that can achieve higher temperatures in a set zone, will negate the need to heat the whole home without extra bills.

And ultimately, knowing which type of heating is cheapest will help you save money down the line.

Plus, the whole-room oscillating Dreo heater is so small, it's easy to take from room to room wherever you're spending time, to keep your favorite spots from becoming too cold.

The Dreo heater is also designed for easy, daily use. Multiple heat modes allow you to find your most comfortable level, while an adjustable thermostat helps maintain a consistent temperature. Safety features like tip-over protection and overheat shut-off are especially useful if the heater is used in bedrooms or homes with pets and kids.

Small but powerful, this Dreo oscillating heater is a practical reminder that efficient heating doesn’t have to be big, loud or expensive. Sometimes, it just means smarter airflow.

The Dreo Whole Room Heater is discounted to $89.99 at Amazon.

By warming only the rooms you’re actively using, you avoid one of the most common heating system mistakes – overheating unused spaces. That approach can make a noticeable difference when paired with other ways to slash energy bills, particularly as energy costs remain unpredictable.

If you do use a space heater, never leave it running unattended and make sure it's on a flat and stable surface, away from anything flammable for extra safety.
