Space heaters

[mousme]

So I'm thinking of getting a space heater. This place doesn't heat all that efficiently, and the thermostat in the kitchen appears to have permanently given up the ghost.

Any recommendations from local folks? Horror stories of what to avoid?

Thanks! :)

I head my boat with an oil-filled (airworks) heater in the v-berth, and a blowy cafrano heater in the saloon. they've both survived a few winters now, and don't seem to be having any problems yet. For a while, I had a pair of black&decker heaters largely because I could generally expect them to fail before their warranty expired, ensuring that I could maintain a continuous stream of new heaters, but got tired of dealing with that period of time between a heater failing and my getting a replacement.
