I bought an oil filled one from walmart for 35 bucks. This thing works really nicely. Heats up the room in about 10 minutes and stays nice and toasty.

It's not an oil heater, it's oil filled.

It's a safer space heater, doesn't have hot coils to catch anything on fire.

Just one thing to watch, they draw a _lot_ of electricity. Don't go blowing any circuit breakers.
