Every heater that plugs into a wall outlet will produce the same amount of heat for a given amount of electricity (cost). Some, like an infrared heater, can help you direct the heat to a certain area. Others, like oil-filled heaters or oscillating fan type heaters help distribute the heat more evenly around the room. But they all work on exactly the same principle.

You have to decide if your goal is to heat an area, or a person (you).
