If you'll allow us a moment of cheesiness: This space heater is hot stuff. The Duraflame 3D Infrared Electric Fireplace Stove Heater is perfect for fireplace dreamers on a budget or with limited space. It packs serious heating power in a compact, energy-efficient design.
As an infrared heater, it works differently from our other picks. Instead of warming the air, it heats objects and people directly. You won't feel a wave of warmth when entering the room, but cozy up nearby and you'll definitely feel the heat.
A word of caution: The front grill gets pretty toasty, so keep kids and pets at a safe distance. On the plus side, we were impressed by how quietly this heater runs.
I’m absolutely in love with these headphones. Great value, fantastic sound, and is super comfortable.
Even after hours of listening, there’s no ear fatigue—just great comfort and sound.
