"ELECTRIC"... heaters should be enough to raise flags. These may be fine heaters, but it's a blatant marketing thing.

They are perfect for fall and spring... the "transition" time when the house is uncomfortably chilly in the evening when you are sitting in the living room, but you don't want to fire up the main boiler (especially when you live in a drafty, inefficient old Victorian, like I do.) I don't pretend it will carry me through a New England winter. It serves its purpose to make me more comfortable in my home without turning on (or up) the gas-eating boiler, and, although it may be a tad chilly walking out to the kitchen, it does save me some money. That being said, I'm not saying this particular heater is the most cost-effective. One needs to do their homework before buying.

Wonder if they got around to do it again. Gas and Electric industries use to reimburse retailers who advertised

That should put up red flags immediately. Another clue that this “deal” is not as attractive as they’re suggesting: They’re renting space in hotels to sell it.
