portable heater

Carry-along heat source

A portable heater is a small, movable appliance that generates warmth for a room or area.

Unlike built-in heating systems, portable heaters can be carried from place to place and plugged in wherever needed: We brought a portable heater to the basement office.

Common types include space heaters, radiant heaters, and ceramic heaters.
