I prefer oil filled heaters and here's why.....
I agree that an oil-filled heater is still around 1500-watts, but when the oil is hot the thermostat will turn the element off and the heater will keep on heating (with the element off) for a long time. It's kinda like a car coasting down a long hill and using very little gas.
