DeLonghi Heater - Oil Heater - Radiator  — 

This heater was a great value at my local big-box hardware store, especially after the winter season's clearances.  We use it to keep our family room warm without having to turn on the whole house heater.  It struggles with large rooms or high ceilings, but does very well in small rooms with normal ceiling heights.

If you are going to use this in a room with high ceilings (or adjacent to a room with high ceilings, where your heat will tend to want to escape), I would suggest turning on a ceiling fan to help push the air down in the room of interest.  We have found that placing the unit in the corner of the room and turning the ceiling fan on reverse (to push air down) does a decent job of keeping our family room comfortable.

The unit has a nice digital display, three heat levels, a settable thermostat, and two on/off timers.  We don't use the timers or the thermostat, but I could see them being very useful for certain situations.

Overall, the pros are: reasonable price, digital interface, decent performance for intended applications, is essentially 100% silent.  The cons are: heat is uni-directional (heat always goes up), so you have force it where you want it manually or have a small room.
