Small but mighty, this compact space heater packs a seriously warm punch. The portable model can emit warm air at the touch of a button.

Best Electric Space Heater

GiveBest Portable Electric Space Heater ($30)

In the market for an electric space heater? Look no further than this Amazon option, offers two heat levels, a thermostat control, and a convenient top handle that makes carrying it from one room to another that much easier.

One reviewer on Amazon's site called the machine "powerful," saying: "I've had this little guy for about a year, and it's exactly what I needed! I use it in my freezing office. Usually the lower setting is powerful enough, on colder days I kick it up to the higher setting, and it's pretty toasty. Best for small spaces, though. It shuts off if it tips over. Other reviewers mentioned the sound — it makes a loudish white noise sound, and I actually really like it for two reasons: tt blocks out annoying ambient noise, and I'm less likely to accidentally leave it running when I leave."
