Will a 1500W space heater trip my circuit breaker?

Reviewer consensus

It can. Across r/homeowners and r/AskElectricians discussions, reviewers warn that 1500W heaters draw heavy current and can trip breakers or overheat outlets if they share a circuit with other large loads. The common advice is to plug directly into a wall outlet on its own circuit, never into a power strip or extension cord.
