I need a portable heater

[Gravdigr]

I use this little jewel right here. Even when it's down in the single digits outside this heater will just run me out of my bedroom, 12 x 14. (playing card for size comparison) I hardly ever turn the thermostat more than halfway.

And just twunny bucks at your friendly neighborhood Dollar General Store.

I've got a kerosene space heater. If the power goes out, it can get cold, and it's nice to have options. It's one of those Kero Sun catalyst ones that burns clean and won't kill you in your sleep. I've got a battery powered CO detector that I hook up every time I use the thing though. I'm paranoid.

I was going to link a picture to show what I have, but I see this company stopped selling these heaters in the US because of litigation costs. Space heaters burn houses down all the time, so don't leave one unattended.

I would be a bit paranoid using a space heater from a dollar store.

Three years, and not a hiccup. Over-heat protected, tip-over protected, no open flames or elements, nothing gets hotter than you can touch, and it runs 24 hrs for less than a dollar. Just cuz it's cheap don't mean it's shitty. But, I take your point. I wouldn't trust my life to something I didn't think was well made, regardless of it being cheap or expensive or in between.
