    Oil Filled Heaters

    Hi all,
    Can anyone recommend an oil filled heater for me? I love the one I have but its old and on its last legs and I'll be needing a new one soon. I've been looking at digital models since the only thing I don't like about mine is that it has no temperature range shown. However I do have some concerns about the digital models. Are they reliable? What about power outages? Will they come back on? What is my best option here guys?
    Thanks in advance!

    A $40/$50 one will, digital ones are not reliable, the thermostat will give out first.

    Just get a model with the dial and plug it to an external t-stat this will last far longer and produce a much more even heat throughout the whole room.

    Thanks Deborah and Eric! I wasn't sure about the digital ones! I have a thermostat for it already but I haven't seen that one before and a girl never can have enough thermostats right? lol
