are you asking because you saw that tv commercial for that one electric fireplace that's handmade by omish or quakers or something? LOLDoes anyone have an electric fireplace? Our house doesn't have a fireplace... and buying an electric one is easier/cheaper than a gas or 'real' one being built..
Feedback on em?
What kind of oil does it use? Does it get hot to the touch? Should I be worried about a rambunctious child playing around it?My basement room gets the coldest in the house. I use one of the oil filled radiator style heaters that you can buy from Home Depot. It has a timer on it with two timer settings. This allows me to have it come on early in the AM before we come downstairs, and then go off after we are gone, and then come back on before we get home, and go off around bedtime. IT makes the coldest room much more comfortable.
Size is about 2.5 feet tall by 2 feet long, by 6 inches wide. Has roller wheels to move it around the room and works well. I think it was around $80.00.
Here it is on Amazon but it's sold out. http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-Filled-Electric-Radiator-Heater/dp/B000653KLU
It's all self contained. Whatever kind of oil it needs, it came with and doesn't need any added. At it's hottest setting, 95 degrees, it can be somewhat warm to the touch but it won't burn instantly. You do have a really little one though so it might be a consideration at least. I've had this one for several years so my daughter was probably 2 when we got it. She as never been burnt by it.What kind of oil does it use? Does it get hot to the touch? Should I be worried about a rambunctious child playing around it?
The thermostat for our house is in the living room, which has high ceilings. The result of this is that the heater runs trying to heat the living room while the master bedroom is noticably warmer. I would like somthing to heat the living room enough to keep this from happening.
