Next message: Norm of Bandersnatch: "lv-ab: Heaters"
I think safety is the same for the ceramic or wire heater types since they
both output 1500 watts from a small source thus both have similar output
temp and thus a similar ability to kindle something too close to them.
My wire type cube heaters have lasted for many years. The trick is to not
buy the cheapest model. As Dream Scene implies, weight is often a good
indicator of quality.
If safety is prime, then the oil filled types are best.
