   I prefer the oil filled radiators, we have two due to the odd layout of the house and no central heat.  They are quiet, safe and so far been adequate for the two rooms we have them in.

   I just bought one of the oil filled for my icebox office. Works pretty good, at least its better in here than before.

   I've got a 3' plugin baseboard type which has no fan, hence no noise, and is only about 6" tall. It does a nice job of keeping our bathroom warm. I added a thirty minute timer switch to it so that we don't need to remember to shut it off.

   I like the oil-filled type, but they're slow to warm up. Good for the long haul, though.

   For getting up and taking a shower, I use a Pelonis, the little 6"-cube type. It heats up fast, and moves the air around well to help reduce mirror-steaming and sweaty walls.

   I leave it on to dry the bathroom out afterwards - it's noisy enough that I usually don't forget to turn it off later.

   I bought a couple of small oil filled radiaters that work nicely
   i use one of them in a large bedroom about 16x24 and it heats it up nicely, especially if I remember to shut the 2 doors into the room

   Same heater can't heat a smaller 12x15 living room downstairs because I can't close off all doorways into the room-----and so it has to try to heat the entire first floor------ so in that room I use a "flat screen" radiant heater which warms YOU up-but not the room----- if you sit near it with it aimed right at you--it warms you up nicely---- if you are on the other side of the room- not at all.

   looks like the juice for the space heaters are costing me about $15/week
