Pure radiant heaters (parabolic dish) are the best for that--Sam's club,

Yes, indeed.

BUT:

I find that when I set it up across the room (parabolic means
narrow beam, not spreading much if at all), it heats the
(horizontal) column of air between me and it --
temp goes up, humididity goes way down.

Thus, for me, I need a 2nd instrument, a fan, on low,
just to blow the column of air off to one side.

Works fine.

Yes, makes it a "personal heater".

Just like a Voronado fan is a "personal fan" (set
up across the room, narrow column of air blown, not
spreading much.
