They are hot when you touch them but you gotta leave your hand on them for a few seconds before you get burnt. Daniel has never burnt himself on his one. Hes touched it a couple of times and learnt not to. Not really much different from an oil heater

We also use an econoheat panel in DS room, just the smaller one. It is great - not sure what the temp is in there but without it that room gets really cold. You can get it with a timer, or just buy a timer that you plug in seperately if you want it on at a certain time. It hasnt made much of a difference to our power bill at all so far.

We have one in our bedroom they get up to a max 70 degrees hot but not hot enough to burn yourself unless you hold your hand on it.

Ours doesn't have a thermostat its either on or off, you could put it on a timer (I find them noisy though).

My understanding is they only cost a few cents a day to run.  They're cheaper than an oil column heater.

I've seen them pretty cheap from Mitre 10 or the Warehouse (they'll let you layby). $150 each I thought.

We just got an Econo Heater for our place (well the landlord aka my BIL got it for us). Apparently they are real cheap to run and give off good heat. He got ours from Mitre 10 Mega for I think $139?? And it was the larger sized one so I thought that was pretty good

We have got a 5 fin oil heater and will switch off when it gets to that temp. DD's room is on the south side of the house and haven't used it yet as she wears a polar fleece all in one that keeps warm during the night.

No point putting it under a window as the heat escapes, same with any heating really.

We live in the south island and I bought a Econ panel the large version for a tiny room. It's fine for taking the chill off but no good at all if it's really cold.:(
