Space Heater
We use a small 1500W ceramic space heater that is not adequate. Today we looked a Lowes and saw a much larger heater, but is was also only 1500W. So my question is what kind of heater would be bette...

1500W IS 1500W worth of heat, doesn't matter the brand (vornado et all)or type (Oil vs fan vs ceramic).
1500W of heat with a fan pushing it can end up making you feel colder the further you are away from it due to cooler temperature of the forced air making it feel drafty.
Your choice, pick your poison but 1500W is 1500W and that is not changing..
To further what Gdetrailer is saying. A portable space heater is limited to 1500 watts. That means if it is a fanless model you will get 1500w of heat output. But if you add a fan, that power has to come out of the 1500W. If the heater fan uses 100 watts, your heater is only going to put out 1400W of heat. (1500-100=1400)
I like to view space heaters like the food at taco bell. It's all the same ingredients, just pick the shape you want.
