Best spot to plug in Heater Pro X in a drafty room?

I usually keep mine pretty close to where I’m sitting, honestly. If the draft is coming right off the window, having it on the sill or the desk nearby makes the most sense to me, since you’re the one that needs to feel it. I tried moving mine across the room once and regretted it, the warmth just doesn’t travel that far.

Drafty window means the cold air is winning before the heater even gets a chance. Put it on the floor near your feet, not up on the desk.

The draft is going to make the spot right by the window pretty much useless, no matter how close you put it. I would keep it on the floor a few feet away, pointed toward your legs and torso. Cold air sinks, so you want the heat coming from low down. You will feel it a lot more that way.

I actually keep mine plugged in right on the windowsill near my desk and it does the job for me. The draft is annoying but the heat blows straight at me and I can feel it right away. Maybe I got lucky with how my window seals, but I would not move it somewhere else just because of the cold air.

I keep mine plugged in under my desk, but pointed toward my legs rather than the window. The draft still makes that side of the room cold, but at least I’m not sitting there shivering. Honestly if the window is that bad, you might just need to block it off anyway.

The draft near the window will win every time if you plug it in there. That cold air is constantly moving past the unit, so the heat gets pulled away before you really feel it. I had a similar setup in a garage workspace with a gap under the door. I ran the heater on a shelf a few feet away, not directly in the cold path, and it made a much bigger difference for my legs and torso.

One thing that caught me off guard is how much better it works when you let it run for a while instead of turning it on and off. It needs a few minutes to get the air moving in the room. If you keep moving it around or shut it off every time you leave the desk, it never gets a chance to settle in. Point it at you from a couple feet away and give it time.

I think people overcomplicate this. If the draft is making you cold, the heater needs to be between you and the draft, not across the room. I would just put it on the desk or the floor next to you and let it blow toward your chest. The window area will stay cold but that doesn’t matter if you’re not sitting there.

Honestly I think everyone’s overthinking the draft thing. If the window is actually leaking cold air that badly, no little plug-in heater is going to fix that spot anyway. I’d just put it wherever you feel the cold most on your body while sitting, not try to fight the window.
