The oil filled heaters work great. The main downside is that it takes a while
for them to get up to temp - where the ceramic is fast.
Their upside is that they hold heat very well once they are at temp. You can get them with
a built in timer so you can preset when you want it to come on.
My bedroom is on the far end of the heating system, faces north, and has two windows.
Also I keep my temp at 60° pretty much around the clock. I kick on the heater about an
hour before bedtime (on low w/ thermostat at half setting)
If I pull the door shut the room is very comfy by bedtime. Big fan of the oil filled heater here.
