Depending on where you live, the weather may be turning a bit cooler, and maybe you’ve even had to turn your home’s heating system on for an hour or two. With things only getting colder, it may be time to turn your sights on warming solutions that won’t transform your electricity bill into a shocking surprise. We found a potentially more cost-effective alternative: this portable oscillating space heater that’s 41% off at Amazon today.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, this compact, yet powerful heater can warm small spaces effectively or supplement existing heating systems in larger homes, so you don’t have to crank up the central heating quite so high. People have also found use for it in their shared office spaces, where they may not have complete control of the thermostat or are in an older building.
Using 1,500-watt ceramic heating panels and made from fireproof materials, this corded electric heater promises to get things warm quickly and automatically swivels 80 degrees, so the heat is dispersed evenly throughout an area.
It features four ultra-quiet temperature modes, which you can toggle through using the included remote or the stay-cool buttons on the heater. There are also three timer modes, so you don’t have to worry about turning it off, and an automatic shut-off safety feature if the heater gets accidentally tipped over.
One of its most beloved settings, however, according to several reviewers, is the smart eco-mode.
This setting intelligently detects the current surrounding temperature and automatically shuts off once the room reaches your desired temperature. This has helped lower some users’ electricity bills from when they were using their installed electric heaters.

Promising Amazon reviews:
“I originally purchased this to heat my small single car garage on colder days when I went to go in to do a little work on weekends or nights after the work-work. This replaced an older heater that I had for 20-22 years that finally gave up. This heater works great, the output is nice and I like that it moves back and forth to put the heat out. The one thing I noticed was how QUIET this thing is compared to any other space heater I have used. I have a different brand space heater at my work that I have to use every day since they keep the office temp at what would seem to be just above freezing for some reason, and it is so loud I can’t hear anything someone is saying from the office right next to mine. My plan is to either buy a second one of these sunnote heaters or swap this heater from the garage to the office since it is so quiet compared. While I don’t expect 20 years from this one, as long as I get a good number of years out of it - I’m satisfied.” — Dan
“I love this little heater, I like the fact that it is small and swivels and has different settings on it. Its cool to touch which is great so you won’t get burned. I have a small one bedroom apartment and open living room /kitchen area, about 400 square feet maybe, It definitely takes the chill out and heats up the area in about an hour if its really cold outside, and in the bedroom alone it really heats up fast and is warm and cozy. And I am hoping to see a lower electric bill next month!” — RmW
“Best space heater. This is the space heater you’ve been looking for, in my humble opinion. It was the right option for me. This heater has a great digital thermostat control and long cord. It is quiet. It heats fast. The amount of heat it is capable of providing is more than you need for its intended application. The remote is very convenient. I really like the Eco mode which kicks on and off quietly to keep the room at a consistent temperature which you set. It can quickly heat and maintain my largish office (10×11 + closet) all day with only some occasional run time. I needed this space heater for winter as my office relies on gravity heat from downstairs. This space heater has helped make my office a pleasent and relaxing space where I regularly spend 8-12 hours of my time daily. I could not be more satisfied with this purchase.” — LC
“I must add that the customer support for the product is really good and they followed up to about the issue. I’ve been using this heater for couple of months now and can say that is very efficient. It really heats room fast and my electric bill is lower than when using my installed electric heaters. We live in small apartment and I was shocked with the bill when we started using the ones that came with it. This heater is the only heater we’re using right now for the whole place and it works good for us. It’s extremely lightweight and easy to carry from one room to another. (Must add that we live in coastal California so there’s no “real” winter here but it gets really cold).” — Girl
