ZDNET review: Dreo Smart Wall Heater warms targeted spaces for $130

ZDNET reviewed the Dreo Smart Wall Heater, a wall-mounted 1,500W unit sold for about $130 on Amazon, which the reviewer tested in their basement. The heater offers 120-degree vertical oscillation and a fin that can be paused only in three positions — pointing upward, straight out, or downward.

It also includes smart-control features such as scheduling, access to settings, and voice control through Alexa, though the reviewer did not use the smart functions. The reviewer said the Dreo outperformed other space heaters they own, warming the area around their exercise equipment when set to the highest setting.

A well-designed remote let them change heat or power without interrupting a workout. The reviewer noted the device could not warm their entire 900-square-foot unfinished basement but made the focused area considerably warmer. Other features listed by ZDNET include 89% air-heating volume, PTC ceramics for steady heat, automatic LED panel adjustment, simple installation using the included template, a detachable filter, a convenient cable recess, a 41dB sound level, BELT-listed status, three speeds, dimensions of 4.52" D x 20.15" W x 13.18" H, and a weight of 9.15 pounds.

ZDNET called the Dreo the best space heater the reviewer has used and said it is worth the sale price of $130, while noting the oscillation fin’s limitation as a minor drawback.
