Heat Storm HS-1500-IMO Portable Infrared Space Heater 1500W - 10 lbs Lightweight, Mojave Black - Perfect for Home, Office, Garage & Outdoor Use

Obviously this isn't the cheapest option available but we are happy with it. We have been using it to keep our nursery warmer than the rest of the house at night this winter. This heater is extremely useful for this purpose because it regulates itself with its own thermostat. It will operate at high power if necessary but will generally switch on and off at lower power to maintain a steady temperature. Our home's furnace runs on a schedule that allows the house to cool significantly at night before warming again around the time we get up. With this space heater we don't have to worry about continually making adjustments to make sure the temp in the nursery is correct.(as we would have to if it was like most other space heaters with a simple knob or low-med-high settings.)All in all we are quite happy with the product. A few observations:The heater sits on the floor and so obviously its thermostat reads the temperature close to the floor. (typically a lower reading) The thermometer on our baby monitor consistently reads higher than the one on the heater, but that really isn't an issue so long as they are consistent. (we just set the thermostat on the heater a few degrees lower than we want the room)This heater has a fan to circulate air through itself. This allows the heater to more effectively heat large spaces. (It claims to be capable of heating ~1,000 sq ft, which I can't vouch for) The fan is quiet but it is audible. The heater also makes some clicking noises when it kicks on and off.The heating element glows red in operation... this heater actually puts out quite a bit of light, particularly when running on high. The light/warmth are pleasant but if you want things pitch black be aware that this heater doubles as a night-light when on. (which means intermittently off and on if it is set to maintain a temperature)The heater's shell is primarily plastic but it feels solid and durable. It sits on four legs close to the ground and would be very difficult to tip over. There is a handle at the top for easy movement and it is not heavy.
