Speaking of these little stand alone electric heaters, I've had various ones over the years that I've used for instance in my garage at home for a little added heat, and one thing I have noted about them is some have a pretty sensitive "thermostat", and others not so much.
If you want one that will maintain a fairly narrow temp range, you may have to try a few different ones, returning those that don't work the way you like.
EDIT: a couple of other things along this whole line of stand alone heaters. Two fun tools that can help you manage all this is a kill-a-watt meter to plug in and check current draw, and a non-contact IR thermometer to check for wiring/outlets/plugs getting warm. Probably not necessary tools, but fun and informative nonetheless.
