Look more closely at the features. Items such as programmable timers
remote controls and such add to the price.

Indeed!

It's best to see what features you want/need and go on from there.

I use electric heaters in winter just to give and area where "the people
are" a little more heat. Thus, I would consider the units without a fan to
be a complete waste of money.

Others may well be attempting to heat an entire room.

For my money:

1) Fan is good.

2) Oscillation back and forth is good.

3) Thermostat is good.

4) Medium/Low setting is good (1500 watts is "pushing" a regular outlet.

You "lifestyle" will have to determine whether a timer is good or bad.
