That's been my experience as well. The oil filled unit takes awhile to warm
up but it's given us back our living room which was very drafty and probably
only good for hanging meat before.

We also have one of the older style fan forced electric heaters but I can't
tell you the last time we used it. The fan was very noisy and I was always
afraid of something flammable coming into contact with the heating coil. It
had a grill in front but the unit got quite hot and the gaps between the
grill were fairly wide.

Hello Don,

Good to see your name in my email box.

We have one oil filled space heater in our master bedroom. Had done without
heat in our bedroom for 4 years and last year I put my foot down. It was a
long, cold winter.

Good luck and good to hear from you. Take care.
