How we chose
We compared the five Dreo heaters on the things that matter for a cold snap: coverage, thermostat range, speeds, noise and current price against each one's 90-day range.
The Tower Heater 718 covers 300 sq ft, runs 8 speeds, and has a thermostat range of 41-95°F. At $129.98 it sits at its 90-day low, against a 90-day high of $129.99. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 reaches a max setting of 95°F in a 42.46-inch tower and is $40.01 more than the 718. The Convection Heater 711S is priced the same as the 706 and also sits at its 90-day low.
On price, the Whole-Room Heater 725 is the lowest at $79.99, $49.99 less than the 718 and $90.00 less than the 706. The Whole-Room Heater 720 sits between them at $119.99, $9.99 less than the 718 and $40.00 more than the 725. The 725 lists a noise level of 25 dB and a wind speed of 9.5 ft/s. Every heater here is at its 90-day low.
Who should skip these
If you want a heater you control only from the unit, none of these is the right fit — app control is part of what we looked for. And if your room is larger than 300 sq ft, the Tower Heater 718's listed coverage won't reach it, and we have no larger coverage figure to point you to.
On price, the Whole-Room Heater 725 is the least expensive here at $79.99, $49.99 less than the Tower Heater 718 at $129.98. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 and the Convection Heater 711S both cost $169.99 — $90.00 more than the 725 and $40.01 more than the 718. If neither app control nor coverage beyond 300 sq ft matters to you, the 725 does the job for less.
How to choose the right one
Start with the room. The Tower Heater 718 lists coverage of 300 sq ft, so measure the space you need to warm before comparing anything else. If you want a fan and a heater in one unit, the 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 stands 42.46 inches tall.
Then check the controls and the sound. The Tower Heater 718 has a thermostat range of 41-95°F and 8 speeds. The Whole-Room Heater 725 lists a noise level of 25 dB and an air speed of 9.5 ft/s, which matters if the heater runs near a bedroom or desk.
Finally, weigh the price gaps. The 2-in-1 Tower Fan & Heater 706 and the Convection Heater 711S cost the same. The 2-in-1 costs $40.01 more than the Tower Heater 718 and $90.00 more than the Whole-Room Heater 725. The Tower Heater 718 costs $49.99 more than the Whole-Room Heater 725, and the Whole-Room Heater 720 costs $40.00 more than the 725. At $79.99, the Whole-Room Heater 725 is the lowest-priced of the group.
