Best small electric heaters
Looking for a small electric heater. What are the safest models? Thanks JKaz

I fulltime and have used one of the oil filled heaters for 3 years now while over-wintering in the brutal arctic conditions of Florida. It's great. Totally silent and has high and low settings. It just seems to put out a lot of heat. Seems more 'gentle' then the other types.
I also have another oscillating fan driven electric heater, but I don't use it since I discovered the oil filled type.
The oil filled type takes a few minutes to get going and put out heat but they never seem to get too hot to the touch (especially on low). It also has a tip over switch. They are simple, cheap, and seem like a very safe alternative.
I have an overhead fan in my fiver and usually set it under the fan to disperse the heat. Failing that, one could get a small, quiet, box fan to set behind it.
