When I worked in a drafty office, the first thing I did every morning was turn on my space heater. It brought me joy to hear it quietly whir to life because I knew that I would soon feel warmth seep into my space. This handy device also made my work days far more productive because I could focus on my to-dos for the day once the temperature reached a cozy point. Whether you’re also hoping to create a more comfortable environment at work or your heat isn’t quite cutting it at home, there are a number of space heaters at Amazon you can snag on sale for $50 or less.

So, below we’re sharing more about the five space heaters to shop at Amazon for as low as $20.
Coolfor Desktop Space Heater
AMAZON
The funky round design of the Coolfor Desktop Space Heater is one of its standout qualities, and another is the fact that it’s small and portable at just 1.34 pounds. The brand notes that the heater warms up quickly, but you won’t have to worry about the heater staying on for too long, overheating, or not shutting off if it tips over because it has an automatic shut-off feature for all three instances. “This heater is little but mighty,” wrote one five-star reviewer who called the heater an “office necessity” and added, “I rarely keep it on long because it gets my office warm fairly quickly.”
Kismile Portable Electric Space Heater
AMAZON
The Kismile Portable Electric Space Heater reminds me of the model I once used at my office. This one measures 7.3 x 5.3 x 9.5 inches, and it weighs 2.82 pounds. The ceramic heater warms quickly, according to the brand, and you can choose from three heat settings that range from low to high heat. It does require a cord, so you’ll need to have an outlet nearby in order to plug it in—and the power light on the heater will assure you that it’s ready for you to use. Shoppers have awarded the heater with 11,100 perfect ratings and 1,300 five-star reviews with one person saying that the “compact” and “impressively quiet” device “packs a powerful punch, quickly warming up my room even [on] the coldest winter days.”
Gaiatop Space Heater
AMAZON
If you’re shopping for an ultra-modern space heater, don’t miss this Gaiatop model. The star quality of this space heater is its versatility: it’s both a space heater and a fan (though not at the same time). The portable ceramic heater measures 6.3 x 5.4 x 6.3 inches, and it comes with a triangular wooden stand to add style. You’ll also find three heat settings to choose from (the highest reaches 1,000 watts), and shoppers say the size of the gadget is deceiving because it heats up bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices quickly and with ease.
Black+Decker Indoor Space Heater
AMAZON
The Black+Decker portable mini space heater earned our award for the “Best Budget” model during testing. It has five heat settings that range from 60 degrees to above 80 degrees, and you can also use this model as a fan when the weather is warmer. What impressed us the most is the device’s “e-save” setting, which conserves energy by automatically flipping between low and high settings. While the heater did receive top marks, it’s also worth noting that we found that it’s slightly noisier than other options, and the space heater lacks an auto-shutoff feature if it tips over (it will automatically turn off if it overheats). However, overall, we’re impressed!
Dreo Atom One Space Heater
AMAZON
The only model on our list that has oscillation is the Dreo Atom One Space Heater, so it stands out. During testing, we found that this model is particularly great to place inside a drafty bathroom because it automatically shuts off if it comes in contact with water. Similar to other models, this one also has various heat settings, but it offers another unique feature: a remote that works from up to 8 feet away. The only downside that we discovered with this space heater, which we named the “Best Personal” device, is that it heats up slower than other models, but once it warms, the oscillating air easily moves throughout the room and makes it almost too warm.
