700 W Portable Mini Electric Oil-Filled Radiator Heater

This little oil-filled heater is perfect tucked into the corner of my tiny basement bathroom, where it gets a bit nippy in the winter. Exiting from the small shower into chilly air is so uncomfortable that I open the door of the shower to grab a towel to dry off in its the still steam-filled space. No more. This itty-bitty radiator gets quite hot, and I turn the temperature dial only about a third of the way toward maximum. I keep the bathroom door closed at all times to prevent heat escape, so when the radiator heats the space to the desired temperature, it shuts off automatically and then turns back on when the temperature in the room goes down. This saves money and allows me to shower at a lower water temperature because I'm not shivering when I get into the shower. It just so happens that the radiator matches the color of the wall, so it almost looks like a fixture, and it's so small that I could find a place for it in a room that really has no free space left. This heater is wonderful for a small, confined space where I find a combination of convection and radiant heat is preferable to a heater that blows hot air. Very pleased with this purchase.

I suggest placing it on a tile surface to prevent it from overheating the floor below. Definitely don't put it on bare carpet.

Our basement office is cold in the winter. I love that this fits under the desk and keeps my legs and feet toasty warm. Best size ever for personal comfort and seems economical. Highly recommend for small spaces.

Heats the room nicely. Remember to close the door to keep heat in! Also, allow plenty of time for oil to heat up.

This is quite a bug zapper. I use these outside, under the eaves of my shed, because they are more effective than the Flotron models we had in the past. I have another model which looks similar to the LIBA, which quietly zaps mosquitos and small moths, which build up on the electrical grid. The LIBA is powerful. Could there some variation of voltage in these? Not all reviewers have the same experience. What I would say about ours is it is loud when a bug gets zapped, kind of like a small firecracker going off, and there is a pretty big blue spark. The grid stays fairly clear, just a few moths in it, but there are numerous small bug parts- wings and legs and so on This is literally blowing up some of the small bugs, likely because the electricity heats up the moisture in their bodies very quickly. I was out there tonight checking the grid and a small bug flew in and was caught in the grid- there were tiny arcs of electric on it for a second, and then POP!! It was gone, just gone. It didn't fall down into the collecting tray, it exploded. It happens a lot, and it's kind of fascinating. For our purposes, using it under the eaves of the shed eliminates a lot of mosquitoes from the yard, which is great. It would be hard to imagine using it indoors, because the zaps are so loud, they are kind of startling even when you're standing outside. It freaks the cats out. But it works. I'm not complaining, but the power really does seem kind of extreme, and makes me wonder if ours is putting out a little extra voltage, because I haven't ever seen a zapper actually explode bugs until now.
