An electric wall heater mounts at eye level or higher, so it frees the floor. Some plug into an outlet and hang on a bracket, while others are hardwired into the wall. They also differ in how they make heat, with ceramic fan, infrared and radiant designs all in this group.
The six heaters below run from a 13 inch fan model to a hardwired 2000 watt unit. Wattage, sizes and controls come from each listing page, and coverage figures are the makers’ own. We have not used these heaters ourselves.

Wall Heater FAQ
Do wall heaters plug in?
Most here do. Only the Stiebel Eltron is hardwired, with no cord or plug.
What is the difference between infrared and ceramic?
Infrared models like the Heat Storm warm by radiant heat, while the DREO, Ausic and Stiebel Eltron use a PTC ceramic element with a fan.
The Short Version
For app control and oscillation, the DREO. For a timer and wide angles, the JNDRO. For a small footprint, the Ausic. For infrared and WiFi, the Heat Storm. For two power levels, the Garvee. For hardwired output, the Stiebel Eltron.
