OK, so I recently ran across another fantastic heater, and I've decided to add a bonus review, because this is an exciting product. The Cozy-Heater is a fantastic and well designed heater that solves the problem of 'it's effective, but ugly'. These heaters look great!
They have the look of a modern art panel on your wall, and best of all they're not underfoot, so there's no risk of tipping over. Most visitors won't even realize it's a heater at all.
These heaters are similar to the Mica Panel heater in that they don't include a fan, instead relying on convection to gradually heat up a room. They're a little bit unorthodox in that they are available in both 400 and 600 Watts, which is quite a bit less energy than a lot of other heaters on full blast. One 600 Watt model is rated to heat a 100 square foot room on its own.
The advantage here is clear: they are extremely energy efficient. You can run two Cozy-Heater wall panels at once, and it will use less energy than a 1500 Watt heater on full blast.
As for safety, these heaters have no exposed elements, so they're child safe and very durable. With no fan, they don't kick up dust, so they're hypoallergenic.
The idea here is to use consistent convection to maintain a uniform room temperature. They take a long time to heat up, but you'll notice a difference in your heating bill over time.
A few notes: if you do have a larger room to heat, you'll want to pick up several (perhaps a 600 and a 400)). If you don't want to be constantly plugging and unplugging, you can pick up a programmable thermostat outlet for your heaters to time when it clicks on.
All in all the Cozy-Heater is on of the most energy efficient space heaters that I've come across, and worth your time to investigate.
