Oil filled radiator heaters are a great invention. They use coils and heated oil to make them warm. They warm up the oil inside the coils of the heater, and then circulate it throughout the coils and fins. As the heat rises from the radiator, it comes back down, warming the immediate area surrounding the radiator. These radiators can be used in any room that has a electric outlet for you to plug into. Most oil filled radiator models are very quiet and do not even have a fan. Many electric heaters that have fans can be or do become noisy over time.
