The subject of space heaters for warming up a garage workshop or other cold work place came up several years ago and I was wondering if anybody has discovered anything new on the market? I didn't act on anything back then but am considering something these days. I currently use and small, typical electric space heater, but it is barely adequate. I set it up by the back door to my back yard, and it knocks down the chill coming through that door, and the heat carries into the garage, and after running about an hour or so, it will creep up from the normal 40 degrees or so and get into the low 60 degrees. The current that these old things draw is pretty high and it's not a good idea to run them on an extension chord to put the heat closer to where I am working. I would think technology has progressed to a point where something more efficient and effective is available these days. Several years ago several people spoke of a tower like unit that didn't take up much room, available at Wal-Mart. Is that still about the best thing out there??
Thanks in advance,
