Space heater recommendations?

[somerandomgirl360]

Just created an account here. I've been looking to get a space heater for myself and my fids recently. A lot of the brands I've heard were decent look like they have been discontinued. I want to make sure I buy something that won't harm my little babies. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Welcome, thanks for joining in search of safe warmth! Ideal device is oil-filled electrically powered radiant heater. Typically mounted on wheels for easy transport, various temperature and timer adjustments. Avoids deadly Teflon/PFOA/PTFE chemical outgassing associated with heating metallic elements. Sample image, you'll find wide variety of brands and sizes.

Another vote for the oil filled space heater. The only issue with them is their limited ability to warm up a largish room. We use a very small cube shaped heater in our bathroom in the cold months, but I had let it run for a few days in our garage to make sure any volatiles burned off before bringing it upstairs on the same floor as Salty.
