Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?

  When my wife first mentioned she was using one, I had the same initial reaction lol

  Right it’s just a radiator shape filled with an oil to circulate heat.

  • no combustion
  • no hot surfaces
  • more consistent heat
  • generally more engineered for continuous use than other space heaters
  • generally have tip sensors (depending on country)

  When my ex wanted a space heater, I insisted that this be the only type, for safety. And of course not allowed to use a power strip or extension cord with it
