Default Electric blankets, Gratuitous complexity??

Parabolic heater:

Personal heater, because beam is so narrow.

Problem for me: the air within the beam gets warm
enough for the relative humidity to go down to what
seems like zero, and you're breathing it.

REALLY dries out the nasal passages, so much that
it can hurt. For me, anyway.

Much prefer OLD Markel heater, with only the front
element on.

(Amazon reviews say that today's Markel heaters are
for ****, crappy wiring inside, cheap construction.
Although outer shell, reviews say, looks and feels
like the old ones. Do read the reviews before
buying one.)
