I tried a DeLonghi oil-filled radiator, and it had a terrible smell that I could never get to offgas. I then tried another brand of oil-filled radiator, and didn't notice any smell from it at all. However, I'd hardly call it " good " for someone with EHS -- I always sleep best when it is at the lowest wattage setting, and even better when it's off!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 thanks, Marc. can you tell me the brand? if it's on the other side of the room, that would be better, right? -Sue > > > Can anyone recommend a good space heater, for someone with EHS?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 > can you tell me the brand? Westpointe -- found in my local mom & pop hardware store... if you're in the USA, you might try a local True Value or Ace Hardware store. > if it's on the other side of the room, that would be better, right? I guess... that's where I have mine... but I've tried several space heaters over the years, and they're all bad. Although I consider the Westpointe I'm using now to be the lesser of all evils. :-) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, also the space heater is more tolerable in your bedroom if your mattress has no metal innersprings in it! Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 There used to be a heater called the Cadet Softheat EPA 750 (or 1000). BUt it's discontinued. Home Depot even used to have it. I never tried it but the other Softheat baseboard heaters are pretty good in all respects (if you remove the rubber & vinyl parts), although they have to be very level to not gurgle, (and some do leak which is annoying because of the hiss and will eventually burn out.)

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I use a Presto Heat Dish. Got it at costco. It has no fan so is quiet but you need to be somewhat around it to be effective. i do find that it will shoot heat out at a distance of around 20 feet > > Can anyone recommend a good space heater, for someone with EHS?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I wonder if it affects me that way, I don't think it does. I also needed something completely quiet and that didn't aggravate my chemical sensitivities. I can leave it on for a hours while i watch TV without a problem Steve > > > I use a Presto Heat Dish.
