True, just found out I had an old delonghi heater sitting in my basement that looks like the one in the link. I heard the older models have a more solid construction than the newer ones. I have it set up right in front of my computer chair where I do pe. It has a 600W, 900W, and 1500W setting with a dial to choose min through max. Had it on max at 600W and it wasn't giving much heat but it did make my room a little warmer. Trying it on the 900W setting now. In the mean time does anyone know a good brand or model?
