Dr. Infrared Heater combines the comfort of convection heating with the energy efficiency of infrared heating to provide you with even warmth throughout your house and savings on your electric bill. Sit back and relax as this portable heater blankets you in a soothing warmth that makes your home cozy and inviting. How is Dr. Infrared Heater better than other heaters? Dr. Infrared Heater uses infrared heating, which heats objects in the room, instantly making you feel warm and comfortable. Other heaters simply heat the air in the room, but because hot air rises, this method of heating is inefficient as it creates drafts that leave you hot one moment and cold the next. By heating only the objects rather than the air, Dr. Infrared Heater provides maximum warmth and energy efficiency. With its state-of-the-art technology that helps the room retain air moisture, Dr. Infrared Heater won’t dry out your skin like those convection heaters that blast out hot air, stripping the room of moisture. And the best part? It will save you money. Use Dr. Infrared Heater instead of your regular heating system, and you could save up to 50% on your next electricity bill. Plus, with its tip-over and auto shut-off overheat protection, you can sleep soundly knowing you’ve got a heater with stellar safety features. With its unparalleled heating capabilities, safety design, energy efficiency, and quietness, Dr. Infrared Heater is simply the best choice for your home heating needs.

But remember it’s about BTUs with heaters. You are talking 5200 here. A round kerosene heater is 23,800 BTUs. So if you need that level of heat I suggest kerosene over this. This is supplemental heat. Take the chill off. It’s not meant to heat your whole house like a kerosene heater would or your gas furnace. Kerosene also will work when your power goes out in SHTF situations whereas you probably don’t want to waste 1500 watts of generator power on this heater unless you absolutely have to. So this tiny heater at only 1500 watts puts out some serious heat IMO. Park it 15-20 ft from you, set it to 68 on eco with the oscillator on and you’ll be thinking about shorts in half an hour. The thing is amazing IMO. Online sites say this can heat a room anywhere from 400sq ft to 1000 depending on whom you believe. I’m not sure about 1000, but it’s a lot closer to 1000 than 400. If you are going for 1000 have a fan to move that warm air around and don’t think this little box will magically do it for you. A home HVAC system has registers all around for that same reason. Distribute the air! Build quality. Wow. It’s not cheap. I mean it’s particle board and plastic, but it’s quality. Nice wheels on it. Nice display. Nice remote. Even comes with batteries which I never use because I don’t trust batteries included with products, but I am sure they are ok. Humidifier works wonderfully. Not sure about reviews claiming it leaks. Did you read the directions? Put in BOTH O rings??? Remember to use distilled water. I can’t speak to longevity yet, but I have read reviews of these getting very high up in years. I’m impressed. The keys with this unit IMO are: 1. The fan. It blows the heat and gets it out into the room. 2. Oscillation. I’m sure that makes a big difference because it’s spreading the heat around. Bonus if you stop it the fins stay pointed in whatever direction you stopped it at. 3. Eco mode. It stops and starts nicely. That will save you some dough ray me. I was worried about the reviews and if you are too don’t be. IMO it’s a winner, but remember it’s 5200 BTUs. Review: Great heater, don't be discouraged by reports of leaky humidifier adapter. - This is a great heater. I got it to supplement comfort in the living room, and it works great. I really love these types of heaters, and I have a black and decker heater as well (all metal sides, no digital readout, 1000 wats, cost almost as much as this one but got it at the hardware store in town last winter). I did have the problem with the soda bottle not sealing into the humidifier, but it was easily fixed by pulling the rubber seal from the second adapter and using both seals on the single adapter. It is roughly the same size as the lawn hose seals you can find at walmart in the garden section for a few bucks. Bottom line, you will not find a humidifier on a heater like this for this price, and all you need to do is fit your soda bottle (I use the 20 oz coke/pepsi bottle) and flip it, if it leaks out the side then take the adapter top off and head out and fit a rubber seal into it, and you should be golden (or do what I did, and pry the seal out of the other adapter). I saw many complaints of the seal leaking, but this heater with humidifier plus the extra cost from a local store if your seal is leaking is well worth the investment. I have not seen any other heaters with the humidifier, and I love this because of it. It is very pleasant on the sinuses, has a really great timer shut off feature, and the digital temperature readout is awesome. I would highly recommend this heater to anyone who is looking to add supplemental heat, or heat a medium sized room (we have no central air in the upstairs part of the house, and it works great up there). I would buy again and recommend to a friend. UPDATE: I bought one more of these last Winter (JAN 2014 was the last purchase) when my parents from AZ came to visit to put in the guest room. Last Winter was pretty cold for TN standards, and we even got about a weeks worth of snow coverage. The heaters worked great all through the winter and really helped supplement our aging heat pump downstairs. We were very comfortable upstairs (we have baseboard heat we don't like to use because we have furniture against the walls) using just these heaters. One heater does not oscillate any more, but we didn't really use that feature anyway. Other than that, both heaters are still pumping heat (we have had some cold TN nights/days down in the 20's already), and the humidifiers on both are still working. Using the second gasket from the adapter that does not fit on U.S. 20oz style soda bottle has made it so that we have never had a leak from this heater. The bottom line in unchanged, I would still highly recommend this heater to anyone looking to supplement or heat a small/medium sized room. Not only did I say I would buy again, but I did buy again, and we are still very happy we did. ## Features - Can heat up a large room with Dual Heating System: Infrared Quartz tube + PTC.

Does it make much of a difference?** A: Depends on the space your heating. I have a long narrow room were the oscillating isn't needed and a large L shaped room were the oscillating helps move the warm air around. Depends on your situation and room size. Plus if your picky about were you want to place the unit.You can oscillate the fins to blow heat in the area you'd like and stop the osc at that angle. I feel it's not necessary but it's a nice function to have given my situation. **Q: can you run the humidifier without the heat** A: Hello Beatrice. You can run the humidifier without using the heat. With the MODE button on the remote control set the heater to FAN setting, then using the HUMIDIFIER button on the remote turn the humidifier on. You will be good to go. **Q: after reading the reviews im still not sure what type of bottle fits the humidifiere** A: The heater comes with 2 caps that fit standard 11 oz water bottles. Water bottles come in 2 types of cap threads so you are covered in both cases **Q: Can it be used outdoors for a roofdeck?** A: I would not recommend this product. The problem was with the humidifier. The 2L plastic they suggest using, collapse on themselves and then leak all over. Thinking I had a defective unit I returned that one for a new one. Same problem. Even though you wouldn't mind the water on your roof, the water would empty out and you would have no more mist. I bought this unit from Amazon and think it's great. The only drawback is the smaller water vessel. But that no big deal. My model is: Lasko 6462 and was purchased from Amazon. I hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t understand the negative reviews. *by W***I on December 22, 2025* Nothing short of amazing. But remember it’s about BTUs with heaters.

I have arthritis and this helps to cut the chill hitting me. We have a large cathedral style living room from the 70s and during this time of year it's chilly but not cold enough to turn the heater on for. The mornings and evenings we need it when we are hanging out. The unit itself is fine but the only thing that is really annoying is the casters. This thing goes whichever way it wants and it has crashed into my antique table, the fireplace hearth, you name it. The wheels are just squirly. As far as functional, it is definitely that. Careful not to overload an outlet with it though. Did that. This house is new for us and did not know one entire wall was on the same circuit and had this plus another furnace plugged in because the heat went out. Any case, works great and is great but yeah the casters need some work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dr Infrared Heater DR-998, 1500W, Space Heater with Humidifier, Oscillation Fan & Remote Control (Cherry) - Dr Infrared Heater Portable Space Heater, Original, 1500-Watt, Cherry (Pack of 1) - Dreo Space Heater, Portable Electric Heaters for Indoor Use with Thermostat and Remote, 2024 Upgraded, Digital Display, 12H Timer, 5 Mode, 1500W PTC Ceramic Fast Safety Heat for Office Bedroom Home --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/4574024-dr-998-elite](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/4574024-dr-998-elite) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
