They are good heaters, but if too close to something they can cause a fire. They`re ok for an office or a small room, but I wouldn`t want to sleep with one on.
I hear you-when MargP first recommended me one, it was for the house-not for my rented place-good point especially given this room's small.

You've got a point again-the reason he's never used it is because of the set up of the house & the way he's built the kitchen, the main radiator downstairs cannot be turned on. He sees it as pointless to heat the rest of the house when he's only ever really needing the sitting room to be warm-so he uses an electric fan heater.

I'm even more convinced something weird's going on now. I went downstairs and dug out a small fan heater to use for now, and It's just switched itself off and won't go back on.Granted the switches haven't moved but they don't move when you press them, they're touch-sensitive ones.

I keep telling myself I'll burn more calories because I'm cold.
