My husband bought an energy efficient heater and I like it.

It's a ceramic element heater by Lasko. It's not any noisier than our hot air vents. So I can drown it out when I sleep. This one doesn't look like our other ones that were radiators and took too long to heat up and had no thermostat. This one looks like a tower, it can swivel if we want too. Don't know why we would want it to, but it hasn't hit subzero yet, so you never know. Thanks and take care.

I just turn my matress pad down to nearly nothing when I get into bed. Like Barbie said, with the covers over you, once the bed is warm you do not need it to be heating. It is great for arthritis.

Yes, it sounds like you have a really good heater, too. Guess we're both better off with these new types of heaters. Thanks and take care.

Ceramic element heater by Lasko. Electric, if it falls over, automatic shut off and programable so it shuts off when it hits temperature (and easily programable, not like some). I love it. Thanks and take care.

Don't know how you can stand it with no heat. It's so cold in the northeast during the winter. It's cold here but not like there. Going to use this snap off blade knife to cut a slit in the top of a plastic lid. This should be alot easier and faster than using a regular kitchen knife. Looks like a good tool to use for other things as well. Think it was $1.25 at Walmart and has to sizes of blades and holders. Don't think this would work for cutting or trimming rags or other material.

The new space heaters have all kinds of shut offs. Shut off when knocked over, shut off when overheat, shut off when reach a temp (this one anyway). Has 4 sides and the heat only goes out one side. The other three sides, you put your hand an inch away and no heat, only where it blows it out. We have fewer space heater fires since the new style ones in our area, the old ones still do once in a while. More the ones with kerosene when people try to start them. I hear about the electric blankets starting on fire more than anything. I layer clothing, but not that much when going to bed. Our bedroom is on the second floor and there is no heat on that floor at all. In sub-zero, I would have to have a sub-zero snowmobile suit or a sleeping bag rated to minus something, not sure what. So we need a space heater or some way to keep warm on the second floor. I've never heard of a quick point craft knife. Sounds very interesting. I want to buy a knife for cutting lots of clothes into scraps for a rag rug or maybe a rag vest. We'll see. I don't have a knife for that yet. Thanks and take care.

Can't stand it with no heat, that's why we have to have some kind of heater up there. Oh well, old farmhouses have character, sometimes not much else. Too bad, I really need something really, really good for cutting. Thanks and take care.

Yes, I also have one and it is so wonderful to get into a prewarmed bed. I have a down comforter, but until I warm up, it does not help. I just prewarm the bed and then I fall asleep easily. If I keep it on all night, I do tend to overheat.

That sounds like a really neat device. I'm not very talented at coffee making, but my husband is (good thing, he's the one that drinks it). Take care

26 degrees F last night, and the other night-had snow, light dusting the other night as well as sleet and hail. Froze with old heater, not with this one. When heaters take an hour to two hours to heat up, that's cold, but the new one is instant heat, Thanks and take care.

Verb tense is confusing me. Did you need one and you bought one? Or do you need one and you will buy one? The way this is written, sounds like you have one. You need one. Not sure I understand. Glad that you have new boots to keep you warm and that you like them a lot. Take care
