I just need a small one to heat up a corner of a large room.
 
Tried any of the following?:

I use a Lasko 1500 watt low-profile occasionally.
I don't want anything that can fall over.

Which means whatever you choose will NEVER cycle on and off.

On the other hand, some of them can work quite well. The furnace wasn't
working, it was the weekend, and so I spent 20 or 30 dollars on a small
heater, I forget the wattage. And so long as the door was closed, it
could warm up that room quite nicely. It was lousy at heating up the
house, but it could get the room to the point where it was reasonable.
This was February, real cold outside.
 
So yes, so long as you keep the door closed, it probably works out well if
you stay in that room. You don't have to heat the whole place.

I need something just for my desk area to help keep my hands warm. I work at home and get really cold hands.
 
Had a heated mouse that didn't really work too well.

You might try the hand-heater packs that you get at sporting goods
stores to tuck into your ski glove. Cheap for one-time use, but
expensive for a whole season. Cut the fingertips off cheesy knit
gloves. NOT the tiny ones, though -- the fingers pull back almost all
the way :-(

Horn broken. Watch for finger.

Whoah, never heard of those. There is also the chance it won't get cold here this year.

I think that's what most people always wish.
 
Fairly easy in some places, very difficult elsewhere.
 
I've been sealing up the windows this week, kind of like "batten down the
hatches" before hibernating.

Hmph. Obviously not skiers :-(

Still shorts weather, and we still have the fan in the window at night!
