I have been using that setup for years.

There are oil filled heaters with digital thermostat however that is the first part that will fail so I would stay away from those.
Agreed, I use the same type of heater. They don't have a real thermostat, but can be hooked up to one. But be careful that the thermostat can handle the wattage of the heater. My heater has two switches, one has 600 watts and the other 900 watts. My VE-300 thermostat has max output of 700 watts, so I never switch on the 900 watts.
