I was in Lowes looking for a space heater and saw several different
1500W models. Some as little as $20, and others like the Vornado and
those upright tower heaters for like $100. Does one model heat better
than another? I thought all 1500W heaters put out the same heat.


What's the difference between a Yugo and a Porsche ?

Not 1500 watts. The Porsche can out perform a Yugo in speed and handling
, but a 1500 watt heater is going to heat the same as any other 1500 watt
heater.


True enough, the difference isn't in the amount of heat, which is obviously
the same. The difference is in the quality of the build, the safety devices
built into the better heater, which will be reflective in how well it works
and how long it lasts
