This is an extremely interesting topic, but the testing was a bit underwhelming. First off, I don't know how you missed Vornado heaters. That is prob a top seller on Amazon, and is in every big box store in the USA with tons of different models. In addition, it is a pyamid shaped heater low to the ground/base, and is difficult to tip over. As for warming a room test, based my my expereince with prob six or eight different heater models.types, fan forced heaters typically heat up a room quicker as more air is being passed through the heathing element (so why no CFM test?). I'm also surprised you didn't test thermostat accuracy. Most of these model have built in thermostats which are either either set by exact temp, or by high-med-low. It would've been nice to understand how accurate these thermometers are (are they wildy off... which I'm sure they are, maybe except for Dyson), or what does Hi vs Med vs Lo temp mean for each? I did like the engergy consumption tests, along with heathign the room test (and I understand time constraints of testing). Maybe a future part 2 sometime.
