    Thinking about getting the Cozy Cove Heater for my bedroom but I keep wondering about the remote. Does it actually work from across the room or do you have to point it right at the unit? I usually keep the heater on the wall and want to adjust it from bed without getting up.

    Mine responds fine from bed as long as the remote is pointed roughly toward the unit. If I aim it off to the side it gets flaky, so it’s not omni-directional or anything. The wall mount is nice for keeping it off the floor though.

    Mine lives on a shelf above my dresser and the remote only cooperates if I actually aim it at the front. I tried clicking it while half under the covers facing the other way and got nothing, so I had to sit up and point it like I was changing channels on an old TV. Once I do that it works from maybe ten feet out, no problem. It’s not magic, but it beats walking over to the touchscreen in the cold. If you’re planning to keep it wall mounted and just poke the remote from bed, it should be fine as long as you can see the unit from where you’re lying. If your bed is off to the side or behind it, expect to do a little aiming. Not a dealbreaker, just don’t expect it to work from anywhere in the room.

    Remote on mine is infrared, so it needs line of sight. It reaches across the room fine but walls and corners kill it. If the heater is mounted where you can see it from bed, you’re fine.

    Works from my couch no problem, just keep it in view.

    Mine works from the hallway, so bed distance is nothing.

    Wall mounting changes things a bit since the remote has to reach up at an angle, but mine still clicks over from the other side of the room without much fuss. I do notice I have to lift my arm a little rather than just poke it from under the covers. Small price to pay for not freezing on the way to the dial.

    Mine barely picks up unless I’m within a few feet of it. Across a bedroom would be pushing it in my experience, so I wouldn’t count on adjusting it from bed.

    Mine actually works better aimed a little off to the side than dead on, which I didn’t expect. It’s mounted above my nightstand and I can hit it from the doorway without pointing straight at the front. Not sure why, but it does.

    I’d probably just use the touchscreen if it’s wall mounted near the bed, honestly. Reaching up to hit a button is less fuss than hunting for a remote at night. The remote is handy but I wouldn’t pick the heater based on that alone.

    Mine picks up fine from bed, but I do have to angle it up toward the unit since it’s mounted high. Not a huge deal, I just leave the remote on the nightstand aimed that way.

    I don’t own one but my sister has hers set up in a spare room and the remote reaches from the doorway fine. She does keep it aimed roughly toward the unit though, so it’s not like it works through walls or anything. For a bedroom setup I’d guess you’re fine.

    The remote is infrared, so it needs a clear line of sight to the unit. Wall mounting it high and trying to hit it from bed is the exact setup where these things get finicky. You’ll be waving it around like an idiot half the time. If the touchscreen is within reach from your bed, skip the remote entirely and just use that. Otherwise you’re going to be doing the point and pray every night.

    You’d think infrared means dead-on aiming, but mine actually responds better if I hold the remote a bit lower than the unit and tilt it up. Sitting on the bed, it’s more about the angle than the distance. I’ve hit it from maybe ten feet that way.

    Aiming it felt like more trouble than it was worth for me.
