[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1838587, member: 18945"] I had a serious conversation with a salesman at a big box store last winter that was touting how great a specific (higher priced) electric heater was. He got thru, I told him, 'I don't care how great you think it is, the math don't lie and they're all the same. 1500 watts is still just 1500 watts and that converts to about 5100 BTU/hr. About the same as your wife's hair dryer" All those little space heaters in the US are limited to 1500W because of circuit load regs in the NEC. Allowed draw is only 80% of the circuit capacity, which is supposed to be 15Amps. They're ok, if you're sitting right on top of it. You can spend $200 for one or $35 for one and still just 1500W.
