Where this leaves you The only heater on this shelf that publishes its amperage — 12.5 A — which is the figure that tells you whether the circuit will hold. Its dual quartz-and-PTC element is also the only heating technology here described in two parts.
What the maker puts in writing
1,500 W · 12.5 A · rated around 5,200 BTU
Dual heating: infrared quartz tube plus PTC
39 dB · electronic thermostat 50–85 °F
12-hour auto shut-off · IR remote
Castors · 19 lb · 72-inch cord · lifetime filter
The number nobody else prints
Twelve and a half amps. On a standard 15-amp household circuit that is most of the capacity, and it is the reason two 1,500-watt heaters on one circuit trip the breaker.
Eight other heaters on this shelf draw something very close to this. One of them says so.
Reading the heat claim honestly
Infrared Quartz tube + PTC for 60% more heat than others. Rated around 5200 BTU.
Fifteen hundred watts is about 5,118 BTU per hour, whatever the element is made of. Seven heaters on this shelf are 1,500 watts; the eighth is 1,300.
The dual element is a real design difference — radiant heat reaches you directly rather than warming the air first — but it is not sixty per cent more energy, and the BTU figure in the same bullet confirms it.

The good and the less good
Strengths
The only heater on this shelf that publishes an amperage — 12.5 A — so the load on the circuit is known before plugging it in
Castors and a six-foot cord, where every other heater here is carried by a handle
A lifetime filter and a twelve-hour timer, neither of which appears on any other listing on this shelf
Compromises
The most expensive heater here, and the heaviest by a wide margin at 19 pounds
"60% more heat than others" sits next to 1,500 W, which is the same wattage as seven other heaters on this shelf
The thermostat stops at 85 °F, where three DREO heaters here reach 95

The questions that keep coming up
Does the dual heating system produce more heat?
It cannot, in the sense the listing implies. The heater is rated 1,500 W, which is about 5,118 BTU per hour, and the listing says around 5,200 BTU — the same figure. Seven other heaters on this shelf are also 1,500 W. What a quartz tube plus PTC changes is how the heat is delivered, radiant as well as blown; it does not change how much electricity becomes heat.
Why does the amperage matter?
Because 12.5 amps on a 15-amp circuit leaves very little for anything else, and two heaters on one circuit will trip it. Every 1,500 W heater on this shelf draws about this much; this is the only one that tells you.
What is a lifetime filter?
A washable filter rather than a replaceable one, so there is no consumable. No other listing on this shelf mentions a filter at all.

2,000 W oil-filled radiator · 9 fins · safety thermostat
A 2,000 W oil-filled radiator with 9 fins, sold under De'Longhi's Radia S line. De'Longhi states a safety thermostat for overheat cutoff, a stepless temperature-and-power dial, its own 'Real Energy' gradual-heat control, and 360° castors with front and rear handles for moving it between rooms. Coverage is stated as up to 60 m (197 ft)³ on the German listing.
Best for: A room you want to heat steadily over hours rather than minutes, where the weight and slower warm-up of an oil-filled radiator are an acceptable trade for residual heat after it's switched off.
1,500 W PTC ceramic · 5–35 °C (41 to 95 °F) in ±1 °C steps · tip-over sensor
A 1,500 W PTC ceramic heater — Dreo's 'Hyperamics' system — with a thermostat adjustable from 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F) in 1 °C steps, a tilt-detection tip-over sensor, overheat protection, and V0 flame-retardant housing. Dreo states 34 dB of operating noise from its brushless DC motor, and units sold since 5 September 2025 include a remote control.
Best for: A bedroom or home office where quiet running and a specific thermostat setpoint matter more than outright wattage.
