    Radiator Recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a decent radiator for under $100. My house can get a little drafty in the winter time and I want to run a radiator in the room where I am going to keep my ball python. I don't want to have the ambient temperature drop too low this winter. Hence the need for a radiator Thanks!!

    I bought a Pelonis programmable oil filled at Home Depot for about $60.
    (well, maybe not programmable, but very flexible! )

    OK I'll have to check that out. I was looking at a Delonghi on Amazon for 70. Maybe I'll hit the HD later on and see what they got. Thanks for the tip.

    Here's the link to the one that I have; I may have been mistaken on the price, but I know it was under $100 at Home Depot (nothing against Sears, I just found it cheaper at HD).

    I also have one of those Pelonis oil heaters. Works great. Just don't forget to hook it up to a decent thermostat.

    The one I mentioned that i was looking at has a built in thermostat. Also has a saftey shut off if it gets too hot and it turns itself back on if it gets to be below 45 degrees, which would never happen.

    This is the one I just bought and it really heats up a good size room. It has a built in thermostat and timer.

    Re: Radiator Recommendations?

    I have the Honeywell model sold at Walmart for $69.00

    It has a built in thermostat, looks nice, tipover safety switch, timer and three temp settings. It a black unit that comes in a red box - you can't miss it at Walmart.

    Good luck in your search.
