I think any type of electric heater with a glowing red element is a fire hazard. I have had several fail on me over the years. On cheaper ones, the fan can quit and the element stays on until they melt down. I use the oil filled heater because I have to leave my camper heated and unattended. They cannot get hot enough to start a fire. As others have said, manage them so as not to overload your circuit. This can easily be done by not running them on the 1500 watt setting. 1500 watts at 120 volts is 12.5 amps.
