ceagleI recently picked up this amaaazing heater on eBay ... and it is Awesome!
I think it is circa 1930s or 1940s ... Previously I was using some more recent one with a fan in it that blows the hot air out, and draws 1,300 watts.. yikes... So with all that blowing it was counteracting the warmth... plus this recent one only draws a consistent 330 watts! Keeps the legfeathers and talons from getting too cold... love this spiffy heater!

Date: 2017-02-12 10:48 am (UTC)I have one of those MyHeat Lasko things under my desk at work, although I rarely have to use it.
Indeedy, the power rating on the parabolic was a surprise blessing!... I was sorta expecting twice that. We also have an oooooold parabolic that stands about 5 feet high in a bathroom (it belonged to my mom) and it draws right around 400w. This little 330w one gets me so warm I keep having to move it further away from my talons :D .. have only used it about 3 times so far... power cord is in great shape too yep!
Good to hear of another person being careful with bills, yep.... all around the house and with most o' my stuff, I've found that a little TLC goes a long way... with making things last, and with keeping bills reasonable.The gas and electric are usually between $20 and $40 each / mo.
