Anyone here use one of those oil filled radiator heaters, about $45, 1500-watt, 110-volt, for a back-up to your heating system in case the tank of propane runs empty?
They do not have a fan or a visible heat element and work by heating the oil inside and then by convection which means it gives off heat that goes straight up into the room.
With its thermostat it can be set at something like 45-degrees, to go on?
About $45 or so at Walmart, or about five dollars at Saint Vincent De Paul thrift store, Laconia, when they have one like back in the month of July!
Seems like a decent back-up, lo-cost electric heat appliance, plus they work surprising very good. Does a great job drying out wet socks, hats and mittens, too.
