I have a very old 1800w hair dryer, not sure where/when I got it, sure does get hot though. I've never seen more than 1500w heaters in stores, I'm guessing it's a safety thing. Sell a 20 amp heater and some dufus will run it on a 15 amp circuit and burn his house down.
I typically run two 1500w ceramic heaters while winter camping (typical temp outside 10-20F.) When the temp goes below 0, the propane furnace is called into service as well.
Each heater is on it's own 15a circuit breaker. If I need to microwave or boil water in the hot pot, one heater is shut off first so not to overload.
