Electric plug in heaters recommendations
We have been looking at plug in heaters to replace a cheap one we bought a year ago. The trouble with this one is the thermostat is way too wide. It cuts in at 60, then out about ten degrees higher....

I might buy one of these to provide a more accurate control of temperature. Plug In Thermostat
Dittos! I have never had decent performance out of an in-heater thermostat, but the pictured thermostat does a much better job of maintaining a halfway even temperature.
As to type- After trying many, I THINK I like the oil filled "radiators" the best. While they don't have a 'circulating fan' I've found that old fashioned convection does an adequate job of heating the whole room. The only trouble with them is that I can't seem to keep them on "full time". Even when totally on high, the internal thermostat kicks them off pretty regularly- and thus limits the ability to heat vs. some other types of heaters. They are also a little bit big and heavy compared to others.
Used to love "Vornadoes" (they had a nice quiet fan), but I've had too many break and they cost a pretty penny!
