What room heater to buy?

[Sushubh]

coming from gurgaon, i can totally relate to it. they say gurgaon people are currently paying the highest price for electricity. i am using a heater right now. and that is causing me heartaches. can anyone tell me about the oil based heaters? are they really effective? i am currently using a blower based thingy which is not very good. how expensive are the oil based heaters? how much power do they consumer? ^ starting a new thread for this question.

Bought this.

USHA 1212 PTC

A mini review not that I have used it for a while.

I got this over a Havells model which was much cheaper coz it supposedly has a PTC element which is better than what Havells had. Size is quite small and switches looks pretty cheap. But build quality seems decent and it seems to be doing the job well. It only goes up to 1500 watts which is enough for me as I only use it sparingly. There is a stand which lets you put the heater at an angle but there is no lock so it just slides back to its default flatter position. There is support on the stand to mount it on a wall though not sure who would do that with such a flimsy stand. Not to mention it would probably leave dark spots all over the wall due to heat.

got this havells hestio oil heater and its too good no suffocation like in case of blowers and no dry skin in case of halogen heaters

@Sushubh why didnt you try a oil filled heater?

already have one. don't like it. coz i usually just run it for short periods of time and blowers are best for instant results.
