Dreo Atom One
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Heat Storm HS-1500-PHX-WIFI is a wall-mounted 1500 W infrared heater offering Wi-Fi app control and robust safety features. Its short power cord and lack of portability limit placement flexibility. Ideal for small, well-insulated rooms where smart-home integration and space-saving design are priorities.
The Dreo Atom One is a compact 1500 W ceramic heater with 70° oscillation, quiet operation (≈38 dB), and ECO mode for efficient heating of up to 200 sq ft. Its limited coverage and 12-hour timer may not suit larger rooms or extended overnight use. Great for apartments, bedrooms, or offices needing quiet, portable warmth.
