Electricity in this state is quite high, so I no longer use the wall heater, I was given this heater and am going to see if it cuts down my expenses. Last year I purchased a small Honeywell, but it burned out before winter was over. It did keep my power bill down considerablly. The one I'm using now has oil in it that heats up, but does not a blower fan, but my small apartment seems to stay at a comfortable heat.
