Good small space heater

[jeff43]

Has anyone tried these? I got a email advertising these and they also have them  on Amazon for about half . They look the same but guessing they are different brands . Says they heat up quickly. Just looking for something to use in our back bedroom and bathroom every once in a while when it gets in the lower digits for quick heat. I got a big buddy heater to use , but it doesn’t have a thermostat and the 1lb bottles don’t last long.Central heat doesn’t push the heat back to good. The room is about 20’x20’ or so.

No picture or URL so I don't know which model you're looking at. For good heating in a space that size, I'd prefer an oil-filled radiator. They take a few minutes to warm up, but are good for long-term heating needs. The little ceramic heaters heat up faster and are more portable, but mine don't heat a large room very well.

Sorry about that.

I’ve got one of the oil filled ones, and they do take a while to get going.

The little $20 ceramic heaters amaze me. I wouldn’t be without a couple of them although they seldom get used.

I bought a $200 infrared heater at Ace Hardware once when our central unit went out on Christmas, and it’ll heat our entire house.

I’ve no idea about the one in the OP.

Look for a fair priced "75 to 100" dollar electric infrared heater. Infrared heater will send the heat across the room better than a cal-rod type heater.

Do the infrared heaters use any more juice than anything else?

Would this be a good one for the money?

I think they are pretty efficient.

Thank you . I wouldn’t be running it all the time anyway.

I have a heater almost identical to that for my teardrop camper and it will run me out of there in no time. Their claims for a 350-450W heater to warm any room to 75° in 2 mins is preposterous though. It takes nearly 20 mins to warm my 10x5 camper. I still think it's a great heater for a small room, but not 20x20.

I don't know if these are the size you're looking for, but I almost never buy anything w/out checking to see if Todd on Project Farm has done a review on what I'm looking at.

We've got a small 1500W ceramic heater, just whatever Walmart had and it works fine. Heats up the bathroom quite well or will warm your spot in a big room, but not the room. 

We used to have an infrared one similar to this that worked well too.  It was better for a larger room.
