What Space Heater Do You Use?

[mrwillia]

I bought my oil filled radiator heater at Lowes a couple years ago. I think the brand is Pelosi. It has as a built in thermostat. I run the heater on a Ranco thermostat, which is set to 80f and I have the built in thermostat set to about 90f as a back-up. If you choose to use an external thermostat, I recommend either a Ranco or Johnsons, because they can handle the wattage draw of the heater. I also recommend either ordering it pre-wired for a heater or doing it yourself, using a heavy duty extension cord.

So I take it yours won't default to a lower temperature once the Ranco turns it back on? Is it a model with a dial-setting for the thermostat?

I picked up an SMAL digital oil heater from Home Depot recently but it only has 70, 75, or 80F settings and I want 78F, since this'll require less energy. (I have UTH's with thermostats on the cages that keep the cage cool-temp at 80-82F). But when the heater is unpowered and then repowered it defaults to the 70F setting. Yours sounds like the ticket...
