Space Heater Solaris Max

I live in a basement apartment and have nerve sensitivity to temperature so I run space heaters pretty much all year round, even in summer if it's 100oF+ degrees out. My two Lasko towers have lasted 5+ years with daily use, but one is slowly starting to fail. So after reading reviews and specs that this DREO Solaris Max is supposed to operate fairly QUIET I thought I'd give it a try in my living room where I watch TV and listen to music at fairly low volume. LOUD heater FANS are definitely a deal breaker! I will say this tower does sounds about 10-15% percent quieter than my Lasko on low (900w) setting, which is the setting I use the most and am able to hear the TV and music no problem, a low white-noise. The Lasko on High (1500w) is definitely louder but not to the point I have to crank up the volume with my TV or music. Although my old Lasko is about 4" inches taller, the heating element appears to be roughly the same size with similar output (Lasko only has HI and LOW modes + temp adjust). Only thing I don't like about the DREO is there's really no control over the fan speed, I would think L/M/H - 1/2/3 would each have different speeds, but that's not how it works, it's automatic based on temperature selection as well as ambient temperature. Not a huge deal breaker because there's really very little noise dB decibel difference in fan speed between when it's running low or high. The fan seems to mostly run at a medium speed, never really runs faster, but sometimes slower when demand for heat is less. In fan only mode the fan does sound like it's spinning at full speed, but still relatively quiet. It oscillates, but I never use the feature as it's usually directed on at my elevated resting feet. Definitely one of the quieter tower heaters I've owned, but not silent, so I'll chalk the DREO up as a win.

? PROS: Quieter than most tower heaters in all heating modes, 3 heat level with good output + temperature setting adjust (hope it lasts), air blows straight out an not upward, sleek modern and simple looking, display goes into sleep mode after one minutes, remembers last settings, has fan only mode (why others don't offer this just doesn't make any sense), remote, instruction manual, 5 year warranty, tip over protection (my Lasko didn't have this), a tiny bit of rattling at startup but goes away quickly, and has a 30 second cool down when powering off.

? CONS: No fan speed control in heat or fan only mode.

Both the size and the heat output are ideal for our RV. It's fantastic to have temperature control. We like the oscillating function and remote control. I like how it seems. There is excellent heat output. The remote is quite useful.

It is a fan heater, therefore it is quite noisy. However, if you don't mind white noise, that's all right. It's a good size and lightweight.

This heater works really well. There are two of them. They have good temperature controls and an integrated ocellating function. Very quiet. Definitely worth the cost, and I'd do it again.

fantastic heater Does an excellent job of removing the cold from my basement office and warms up fast!
