The Best Garage Heaters of 2023

The Dr. Infrared portable space heater humidifier has a programmable thermostat with a range of 50 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and three different modes, including automatic, high, and low. It can also function as a humidifier, creating a cool mist from the top of the unit that helps prevent the air in the garage from becoming too dry.

This 1,500-watt electric heater uses radiant infrared heat to quickly warm up the garage. For safety, it boasts both overheating protection and an automatic shutoff that turns the heater off if it gets knocked over. This not only serves to prevent damage to the heater but also avoids accidents with flammable materials that may likely be nearby in a garage.

We found a lot to like with this Dr. Infrared heater—and a few things to moan about. First, the humidifier is excellent, creating lots of water vapor. Second, the remote operates the humidifier, the oscillation, and the temperature, giving you total control. Finally, the oscillating louvers make spreading heat about the garage a breeze. The only complaints are that, while portable, this model doesn’t have a handle (it rolls on wheels, but moving it with a handle would be easier). Also, despite being so large, the dial can be difficult to read if the unit is not at eye level.
