High energy cost, lowish power, slow, large. Some only reach a
moderate temperature, and are touch safe, no fire risk, and can be
used to dry clothes.

Do you get baseboard heaters in the UK? I don't remember ever seeing
them, but I'd be surpised if they're not available. As implied,
they're only about 6" tall and placed around the perimeter of the room
at floor level, and use a heating element covered in lots of aluminium
fins (covered in a metal casing with vents at the top).

We've got quite a lot at our place here, running from cheap-rate
electric (which works out at about 3p/KWh - propane in comparison is about
double that for the same heat output)
