When I was looking to get a space heater for the first time, this video by @TechConnectify was a revelation. It is a must watch for anyone getting a space heater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-jmSjy2ArM
PS: Yes, SF Bay Area with all those startups and tech companies is very cold for 6 months of the year. They don't show layered and shivering Bay Area techies in those TV series or movies do they? They lie!
@katrintheresa You must absolutely watch this fantastic video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-jmSjy2ArM
TLDR: all space heaters max out at 1500W. The technology is dead simple. Get any space heater that hits 1500W and seems to have good build quality. Get radiant heater if you don't mind to wait 1h, else get ceramic heater that blows hot air in seconds. Ignore all other nonsense tech they spout in the product info.

This sort of thing really annoys me. Nearly 2kW of wasted energy. "Perfect for a chilly night," says #Aldi's marketing blurb. If it's a chilly night outside, go inside, you stupid fucks.
