Candace S

ive been wanting one of those electric fireplaces, but today noticed their really big for my apartment. but they had a electric pot belly stove too, much smaller and would serve the same purpose. the electric fireplaces supposively use about as much electric as a coffee maker. can anyone help me out here???

Answer
The electric fireplace are more for looks than for heating results. You are better off buying a portable heater if you are looking for heating performance.

From your experience what electric heater is the best?

And also uses the least amount of wattage? It's hard finding one when there are so many different ones. I'd like one that feels like a fireplace (or one that heats up really well that you can think of) Thanks!
radiation? ha no thanks o.o

Answer
For my aching bones the old quartz radiant heaters felt most like a fire. Some of them also had a small fan that was mainly to keep the unit from overheating. In general any heater that is heating primarily by radiation rather than convection is going to be what you are looking for. They are intended to heat people and not the space.

You should be able to find lots of products on the web. Look under "portable (radiant, convection, or space) heaters."
