So the real advantage is no fan, no noise, no moving parts.

Completely silent radiant heat. No blower.

It's quiet, efficient, and one of the safest forms. It doesn't get as hot, slower to heat up, slower to cool. They turn on and off less often. Yes they take longer to heat a room, but it's also filling the room slowly by convection. They're reliable, longest lasting, and silent except for a click when they turn on and off.
It uses less energy if you need a constant heat source. It takes a while to heat up but stays hot for a long time with little energy to maintain. It relies on passive airflow from heated air around it. Your best bet is to use a van, especially a ceiling fan that you can reverse. Be cautious if you have kids because this does get pretty hot.
It heats the rooms better with less energy because once the oil is warm, it holds the heat so later the heater just uses power to keep the oil warm. It does take a while to warm the oil at that's a downside.

Better than blower. It doesn't dry the air and heats very well

The oil spreads the heat across the radiator evenly and allows for convention instead of a fan to move the air. It does NOT use less energy to heat a room, except for the relatively tiny amount saved by operating a fan. A cold room needs the same amount to energy to warm up regardless if there is oil present or not.
So the real advantage is no fan, no noise, no moving parts.
From an energy savings stand point, I'm not sure how much energy I am saving (or not) using this method.
Does anyone know more about this? Would it be smart to get a couple more for rooms we use more often when we are in them?
