Anybody ever used something like this?

I need a heater for my office and I was wondering how well this type works.

I have a similar one from costco, just not wall mountable, that we use in the bedroom in the dead of winter. Heating the room where you are >> heating the whole damn house's airspace.

Yeah thats the thing I guess is we have a wood stove that does a good job of heating the house but doesn't quite make it throughout the whole house. I would love to supplement some areas with electric.

I have a small electric underneath the desk in my office..... In fact the air vent for the office is closed off so that that room gets left alone from the ac and heat seeing its not used too often. Works great, got a two pack of them for twenty bucks at savon. Its small, efficient, heats the whole damn room, two fan settings and an internal thermostat.

Great idea for heating a small area like an office, much better than heating the entire area when you dont need to.

You need an ondol.

Wear thicker socks and a Snuggie, hehe. But really the heater you linked is pretty good as long as you get the one that has the floor mount option so you can move it around. On a side note the oil heaters at Wal-Mart/Costco type of stores work very well. I have a pos Sunbeam vertical heater that only works well if you are within 3ft of it and it sucks electricty. Good luck and don't freeze your a$$ off.

That would be cool, until my house caught on fire.

More traditionally, CO poisoning is the issue.

I bought a zip up wool sweater from REI which I keep in my office. Works well.

It's for my home office where I prefer to work sans pants.

I only ever get cold when I'm sitting down and not moving. A heating pad on the back of my chair works great.

Fleece sheets + down comforter + pre-sleep shag = no space-heater necessary!

Forget socks. Get these:

While awesome that thing costs almost 2x as much as the heater.
