People Editorial Guidelines Published on September 27, 2025 04:00AM EDT Leave a Comment Credit : Amazon Fall has officially arrived, and if you want to stay warm while temperatures drop without dealing with a furnace, you may consider investing in a small space heater. We tested more than 30 models and absolutely loved the Aikoper Space Heater, our favorite portable model. It brings heat to small spaces within seconds, and weighing just 2.7 pounds, it can be set up virtually anywhere. This compact device even made Amazon’s best-selling space heaters list with more than 8,000 purchases this month alone. And there’s no need to warm up to the price — it’s currently on sale for just $26. Aikoper Space Heater Amazon $40 $26 at Amazon Get Barista-Quality Coffee at Home with One of the Best Coffee Machines We Tried The heater has three heat settings and an adjustable thermostat. It heats up immediately, thanks to a fast-warming ceramic heating element. We experienced this first-hand during testing: Once we turned it on, we felt warmer within seconds. One reviewer even called the space heater “a nice little beast” for reliable warming. It’s effective at heating dorm rooms, campers, and reading nooks alike. Another reviewer wrote that the heater works well for small rooms and even dries wet socks. We’re big fans of its portability, too, especially its easy-to-carry top handle. It’s lightweight and smaller than a shoebox, so you can easily bring the heater to work. And with such a small footprint, it’s especially popular for cubicles. “My legs freeze at work, so I placed it under my desk,” shared one shopper. Plus, it runs quietly and won’t distract you — or disturb your coworkers.

It automatically shuts off when it’s tipped over or if it shows any signs of overheating. The brand also includes detailed setup instructions for safe use in tight spaces. The small space heater isn’t just for cold weather, either. The fan mode makes it versatile for year-round use. A final shopper reported that “the fan does a good job of distributing heat throughout [their] space.” Warm up this fall with the Aikoper Space Heater while it’s on sale for $26 at Amazon.
