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.
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.
Completely silent radiant heat. No blower.

Curious, why would anyone want to use this type of electric space heater? Does this have a blower on it to spread out the heat?

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.

These are great. They take a while to warm up but they then release heat in a very constant, even way. It keeps the area you are heating at a very even temperature. I start it up on high to warm up the radiator, then turn it to a lower setting and leave it there.

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

Go ahead and get a $20 box fan to put behind this to make it actually warm up a room reasonably quick.

Perhaps I'm confused. Isn't every electric heater close to 99% efficient (discounting any other extra thing like a blower fan or light show). Isn't this requiring less power only because the heat is not being distributed to the room as fast? In addition, if someone uses something else like a ceiling fan to distribute the heat, doesn't that negate the power savings even more?

I have a heat pump system for my home which isn't my favorite but it was the best choice for our home when we built it 3 years ago. I have 2 oil filled radiator heaters that I've been using: 1 in my office and 1 in my wife's office to make the temperature more comfortable and not heat the entire house.

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?
