Features
A function that allows the heater to rotate from side to side, distributing heat across a wider area. Useful for heating larger rooms or for sharing warmth with multiple people. Provides more even heating compared to a stationary heater.
This heater does not have an oscillation function, meaning the heat is directed straight ahead and does not move from side to side. This can be a limitation if you want to heat a wider area more evenly, as you may need to manually adjust the heater's position periodically to distribute the warmth.
A safety function that automatically shuts off the heater if it's accidentally knocked over. Important for households with children or pets to prevent fire hazards. Offers peace of mind when using the heater in busy environments.
The heater includes tip-over protection, which automatically shuts off the unit if it is accidentally knocked over. This is a crucial safety feature, especially in homes with children or pets, as it helps to prevent fire hazards and ensures peace of mind during operation by immediately stopping heat emission.

A function that allows you to set a specific duration for the heater to run before automatically turning off. Useful for pre-heating a room before you wake up or for ensuring the heater doesn't run all night. Provides convenient, hands-free operation.
This heater does not include a timer function, which means you cannot set a specific duration for the heater to run before automatically turning off. This requires manual operation for turning the heater on and off, limiting convenience and potentially leading to energy waste if you forget to switch it off.

This heater does not come with a remote control, meaning all adjustments must be made directly on the unit. This can be inconvenient if you want to adjust settings from across the room, especially for individuals with mobility issues, as it requires you to physically interact with the heater.
