I’m looking for an electric heater for my office. Ideally it’d be really quiet. The office is well insulated, so it doesn’t need to get too hot.

Can you recommend a brand and model?

    This. They’re surprisingly energy efficient, and while they take a bit to heat up, once they get going they really radiate. I have a small one, and it gets me through the coldest days of winter without needing to turn on the built-in heaters in my apartment.

    Bonus is that my cat loooves it. He posts up right next to it and is in cozy heaven.

      They are no more efficient than exposed element heaters.

        Every electric heater is 100% efficient. In fact heaters are the only things that can be that efficient

          Fun fact: heat pumps are more than 100% efficient. In heaters, 100% is trash.

            My heat pump is 300% efficient roughly meaning that it outputs the same amount of heat as three 1kW heaters but instead of 3kW it only consumes 1kW or energy.

          Cool. Heat pumps are better for most use cases.
