Heaters...

[Redskins8588]

Hey, I was looking into buying a room heater for my house, mainly because my little girls bedroom does not have a heat run to it. And it does stay kinda warm but I need to put something in there for at night. Being that my daughters are 3 and 1 I cant expect to put something in the room that gets hot and nor can I expect them just to leave it alone. So I need a heater that is safe for kids. My Dad had suggested that I buy an oil filled radiator and put a frame around it to keep them from touching it.

This idea is ok but recently I have been seeing ads for this "Edenpure" heater. It claims that it will cut your heating cost and not have much affect on your electric bill. Does anyone have one of these heaters? Also, it claims that it is safe for kids, it claims that the surface of the heater doesnt get hot, it goes on to say that pets are drawn to it and showed cats sleeping on it.

It has 2 models one that heats up to 500 sq.ft for $297 and another that heats up to 1,000sq.ft for $397. My dad wants one but he is old school and wants to know more about them from people that have one before he dishes out the cash... However, he told me that he would go half on one for me to be his lab rat...

Just looking for information...
