"IMO, the electric heater with a fan is the clear winner."

Even though all electric heaters are 100% efficient, one type vs.
another could be cheaper to operate, right?

Obviously 100% of 2 kW is going to cost less than 100% of 5 kW over

I know these were just sample numbers, but FTR, they don't make
consumer space heaters this big. Breakers are usually 15 amps which
would be 1.6KW, but they don't make heaters that will almost trip the
breaker. Big ones aree usually 10 amps, 1100 watts.

I just bought one that is 5.6KW. It is however run on 240vac and on a
30 amp breaker.
