According to the National Fire Protection Association, space heaters accounted for 44% of home-heating fires from 2014 to 2018, and home-heating equipment, which also includes things like water heaters and fireplaces, accounted for 14% of all total house fires in that period. Adequate safety features: Space heaters can be dangerous (PDF).We go over these and other considerations in detail in our section on space-heater care, maintenance, and safety. And most heaters can’t be used in a bathroom, unless they’re specifically designed for it. Whichever space heater you choose, there are some common safety concerns that many people overlook: You can’t use any space heater with an extension cord, and you shouldn’t leave any heater unattended. Most important, they both come with ALCI safety plugs, as well as overheat protection, in case anything goes awry. We slightly preferred the controls on the CD08200, which has just one large button on the top that lets you cycle through the timer, high, and low settings by contrast, the DR-HSH004A has six buttons that let you control more settings, and it was noticeably quieter than the CD08200 (although the sound of a running shower is likely to drown out either one).
In our tests, the CD08200 and the DR-HSH004A warmed the room at about the same speed, providing the same even heating from 3 feet away and 6 feet away. Though you may be tempted to bring any of our other picks into the bathroom with you, these models are two of the few we’ve found that are equipped with the proper safety features to mitigate the risk of electrocution (though you should still try to keep either heater far away from the water). Generally speaking, you should try to keep an electric appliance (especially something as powerful as a space heater) far, far away from any situation where it might get wet. The Lasko CD08200 Ceramic Bathroom Heater and the Dreo DR-HSH004A are the most effective and-more important-safe ways to bring some infrared warmth to your bathroom.
