This is the most important thing to remember with electric heaters.
ALL of them will create the SAME amount of heat for the SAME number of watts consumed through the power cord. Some will do it faster, others will do it quieter (generally, the only reason to ever consider the "radiator-style" ones, which otherwise are more expensive and heavier than ordinary fan-and-filament ones). Others are "prettier", if that matters (Amish fireplace-style, anyone, if you want a $400 appliance to do a $40 job?). And, some are easy to use and easy to set to a known temperature each time you use them. But, NONE are "more efficient" than any others.
