I've used all 3 main types of portable heaters: air blowing ceramic ones, satellite dish ones, and this radiant oil type. This is silent, great for bedrooms at night or WFH conference calls.
I've researched options on Walmart, Amazon, and there are less reliable models. Walmart has one with a bunch of 1-star reviews all saying the plug set their electrical outlet on fire! That's a risk I'm not willing to take.
This model seems to be a tried-and-true highly-reviewed and super-reliable OG. One of the lowest prices since 2009 per the camel Amazon price tracking website.
Plus, direct from manufacturer, full warranty, free shipping.

I highly recommend one of these programmable thermostat outlets. I use one with my oil-filled radiator heater to heat up my basement office on weekdays when I'm working from home. The office is always a comfortable temperature when I start work, the heater is super-quiet, and it turns off on nights and weekends.

Makes perfect sense....but doesn't this model have basic, manual controls that you can set in advance and use a remote switch to power it on/off?
I'm sure they're completely different products now and maybe even a different company entirely, but I certainly didn't expect 30 years out of the thing when I bought it.
Anything that was produced 20-30 years ago would be far better build quality. I also have one that's at least 20 years old and is still going strong.
While I certainly wouldn't recommend testing your "ignite" theory, the heat itself isn't likely to actually ignite an object that comes in contact with it. Whereas, a heater with an exposed (or semi-exposed) heating element (similar to a toaster) could be far more dangerous. An old-fashioned exposed steam radiator gets incredibly hot, yet doesn't cause fires. I've used these type of heaters for many years and consider them much safer than the fan-forced, low-profile heaters. There may be other safe options (which I'm unfamiliar with) but typical space heaters (with heating elements and fans) are considered less safe than these oil-filled type heaters.
