How we chose
How we chose: we compared the listed Dreo heaters on coverage, thermostat range, speed settings, noise and current price. The Tower Heater 718 covers 300 sq ft, runs 8 speeds, and has a 41-95°F thermostat range. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 and the Convection Heater 711S each list a max temperature setting of 95°F. The Whole-Room Heater 725 lists 25 dB of noise and 9.5 ft/s wind speed. The 2-in-1 706 weighs 13.5 lb and measures 12.91"D x 12.91"W x 42.46"H; the Tower Heater 718 weighs 8 lb and measures 7.9"D x 7.9"W x 29.7"H.
On price, the 2-in-1 706 and the Convection Heater 711S cost the same, $169.99 each. The Tower Heater 718 is $129.99, which is $40.00 less than either of those two, $10.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 720 at $119.99, and $50.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 725 at $79.99. The 720 is $40.00 more than the 725.
We weighed coverage and thermostat range against speed settings, noise and price, then picked the model that balanced them.
Who should skip these
Skip this family if you want a heater without app control. Every model here is built around app control, so if you would rather adjust settings by hand alone, none of these is the right fit.
Skip it too if you need coverage beyond 300 sq ft. The Tower Heater 718 is the only model with a stated coverage figure, and it is 300 sq ft. If your room is larger, this family does not go there.
Price is another reason to look elsewhere. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 and the Convection Heater 711S both cost $169.99, which is $90.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 725 at $79.99 and $50.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 720 at $119.99. The Tower Heater 718 sits at $129.99, $50.00 above the Whole-Room Heater 725. If $79.99 is still more than you want to spend, this family has nothing lower.
How to choose the right one
Start with coverage and thermostat range. The Tower Heater 718 covers 300 sq ft and lets you set the thermostat from 41-95°F, with 8 speeds. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 reaches a max temperature setting of 95°F and also gives you a cooling fan. The Whole-Room Heater 725 lists a noise level of 25 and a wind speed of 9.5 ft/s.
Then weigh the price gaps. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 and the Convection Heater 711S cost the same. The 706 costs $40.00 more than the Tower Heater 718, $50.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 720, and $90.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 725. The 711S carries the same gaps: $40.00 more than the 718, $50.00 more than the 720, and $90.00 more than the 725. The 718 costs $10.00 more than the 720 and $50.00 more than the 725, and the 720 costs $40.00 more than the 725.
