portable space heater
Been there, done that asked:


With the high cost of propane this year, I’d like to keep the thermostat as low as possible and heat only the rooms(s) we’re in with portable space heaters. I have owned a DeLonghi oil filled heater before and thought it was safe to use at night, my husband is freaking out at the mere suggestion of using a space heater in our toddler’s room, claiming it’s a “fire waiting to happen”. Assuming I bought a brand new one and used it according to directions, would I be able to sleep at night knowing my toddler is warm and safe?
