Good space heater options?

[crocomire892]

Hi! The room I plan on keeping my Ts in can get pretty cold during the winter, and I would like to avoid jacking up my electric bill via A/C, if I can, lol. I'm seeing lots of options online for oil-filled heaters that are recommended, specifically UL-rated ones. Anyone have much experience using any of these, and if there's a good option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? There's so many to sift through.

If anyone is curious and sees this, I ended up going with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dreo-Radiato...Thermostat/dp/B0CQ2918KX?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

That looks to have everything you could need, safety wise.

Agreed, it has the better reviews across Amazon, Lowe's and Home Depot compared to the others I was looking at. The price kind of stung, but it is what it is. After I use it for a bit, I'll come back and update this thread with the pros and cons.

i have used the electric, oil filled radiator by De'Longhi for many years, in the greenhouse and in tortoise sheds. I have no complaints!

I've been using this one for years with no issue. This unit gets up to temperature pretty fast!

My Dreo. At 77 the the thermometers in room itself stay at 80 to 81 in the day. Hadn't noticed a great impact on the power bill which is nice. It's the oil filled variant similar to croco's. Since it's installation my T's are always out. Love it!!

I almost went with that one! It's a bit cheaper than the one I went with. Glad it works for ya.

Been using the heater for a bit and I think it'll be perfect. It doesn't take incredibly long to heat up, and so far it's working as it should. At the moment, it's a definite recommendation.
