We also use a small ceramic fan heater, (present one was from Home Depot). Remember, 1500W is the same, not matter what unit produces it. Look for a unit that is quiet and compact in design. One fault that I find with many of these small heaters is that the thermostat is mounted on the unit close to the source of heat and they respond more the temperature in the immediate surroundings, than to the temperature in the room as a whole. I wired an electric wall thermostat to an outlet, so that I can set the fan heater high, and let the wall thermostat control the unit. Ours includes both overheat and tip-over protection, (actually I thought those features were required by law). I would just pick something in the mid price range from somewhere that will take it back, and try it out.
