A toe-kick (kickspace) heater recesses into the empty gap under a kitchen or bathroom cabinet, so it heats a cold floor or a room with no wall space for a baseboard unit. The main choice is wattage and voltage – a 120V unit installs on a standard circuit, while 240V units heat faster but need a dedicated line. Here are 8 real models across both.

Buying tips
- Match voltage to what’s already run to the cabinet – a 120V unit avoids adding a new 240V circuit, but a 240V unit heats faster per amp drawn.
- Qmark, Marley and Berko-branded toe-kick heaters are the same manufacturer (Marley Engineered Products) – don’t count the same model twice under different brand names when comparing.
- Toe-kick heaters recess into the cabinet, so measure the available toe-kick depth and height before ordering.
- A built-in thermostat (Qmark QTS series, Fahrenheat FTS1500T) avoids needing a separate wall thermostat.
