Expert Opinion
Professional retailers such as Target and Home Depot emphasize the unit's UL listing, 5200 BTU output, and ability to cover up to 500 sq ft, noting the dual‑element heating system as a differentiator that delivers roughly 60 % more effective heat than typical 1500 W heaters. Safety features and the inclusion of a humidifier are also highlighted as value‑adding attributes.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the rapid warming of large rooms, the added moisture in dry climates, and the convenience of having a heater, humidifier, and fan in one portable device. The remote control and caster wheels are frequently mentioned as helpful for everyday use, though some users note the weight and the need to refill the external humidifier bottle.
Common Complaints
Users commonly mention the heavy weight of the unit, the inconvenience of refilling the separate water bottle for the humidifier, inconsistent dimension listings across retailers, and limited availability in certain states.
How It Compares
Compared with standard 1500 W portable heaters, the DR‑998W offers a higher effective heat output (5200 BTU) thanks to its dual quartz‑plus‑PTC system, plus added functions like an ultrasonic humidifier, oscillating fan, and extensive safety protections. While basic heaters may be lighter and cheaper, they lack the multi‑functionality and claimed 60 % greater heat efficiency of the Dr. Infrared model.
