Are portable heaters safe?
RADIANT HEATERS, like the Marvin 2060, generate infrared radiation to warm objects and people within the beam.
CERAMIC HEATERS, like the Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace, throw off the same amount of heat as bigger electric units, but their smaller size makes these units more portable.
OIL-FILLED ELECTRIC radiators like this Lakewood 7096 take longer to heat up but provide even heating without whirring fans or red-hot elements.
WITH A BUILT-IN GFCI, the Holmes HFH-430BR heater fan is the only portable heater approved for bathrooms.
CLEANER-BURNING KEROSENE heaters, like Kero-Sun's Double Clean 90, use a dual-burn chamber to reduce emission levels below government safety standards.
THE PORTABLE BUDDY from Mr. Heater can be fueled by a 20-gallon liquid-propane tank or disposable 1-gallon canisters.
