Govee Smart Space Heater for Indoor Use [amazon.com]
$29.99 + tax after clipping a 40% off coupon.
I picked this up from a previous deal. You can control this with the buttons on the heater and you can also use the govee app. If you want to be able to schedule or set auto shut off conditions, you'll need to use the app.
This unit also has rgb, so you can use it as a night light as well.

This is the first space heater that I would actually consider using the 'fan' mode on. It isn't going to be anything powerful but it is far better than any other space heater I've owned that just ends up back in the closet for 8 months out of the year. The smart light is gimmicky but, I have to be honest, I enjoyed using it in my daughter's rooms because they enjoyed having the custom color change. The effects for the light in the app are basic and pretty useless but the fact that the light is there and customizable is just extra anyway so I could care less.
Bottom line is this is a no-brainer price for a really good heater.
P.S. I enjoyed the heaters enough to order the companion room temperature and humidity sensors that I thought were supposed to make the heaters function better to maintain accurate room temps and have found them to be useless. Maybe I got the wrong ones but after they were paired, it didn't seem to change how the heaters function. If you try to get those too, either do plenty of reading up on them first or just avoid them like I should have
The app does so much. I use the heater for my home office but I tend to forget to turn it off. So I have it scheduled to turn off automatically at the end of each workday whether I use it or not. Nice, now I don't care if I forget! Also have a remote temperature sensor connected that I place at the opposite side of the room. The temperature control is excellent when used this way.
I love the customizable lighting. Finally, the heating is fast, the fan works well and the oscillation is wide. Overall, a complete steal at $30. I never thought I would like a dumb space heater so much!
I must sound like a shill but it's really this good.

Honestly, we sporadically use space heaters to maintain bedroom temperature at night, when we use our sunroom (which tends to have horrible temp control because of the nature of the room), or in bathrooms. It is really more of a convenience thing than a cost/energy savings for us.
I've used space heaters in my garage shop/gym many many times when I knew I would be there for long periods but, honestly, they will do their best work in an environment that is already climate controlled. If you will have plenty of time to run it before getting into the garage, it may raise the temp a little but I would not try to use these as a primary heat source for a space that is often poorly insulated and expect any great temperature changes to be achieved. Obviously, everyone's setup will be different so YMMV.

I came here to basically write this same thing!! I love these heaters and the RGB nightlight is a neat little bonus.
We use them in the bathroom when showering to stay nice and toasty as well as in our baby's changing area

Thanks. Guess haven't had a need/use in 20 years, so maybe I will pass. Our central heat does really well, so rooms are pretty consistent.
Guess I could lower the overall heat at night and use one of these in the bedroom.
The non oscillating version provides links to documentation showing some test info.
The only thing I've found for this version is under Questions & Reviews
Q: Is this unit ETL certified?
A: This heater is ETL Tested.

I am confused about the maintaining temp issue. I have a big one and if you don't schedule on/off through the app it gets to a temp and then eventually turns off. Doesn't maintain
I just bought another one today. I will likely swap it in for my old unit in the computer room, because it will go nicely with the galaxy projector and fairy lights I have in there. The bigger, nonilluminated heater from my office can go into the living room.
I've found that the onboard sensor is more indicative of the temperature of the housing than the ambient air. so it shuts off early and doesn't maintain a specific temperature well at all. pairing an external sensor is necessary.
