I have 2 oil filled radiators. One Kenwood with electronic digital thermostat with timers and a basic Delonghi with 2 push button setting and a manual dial for thermostat.
The simple Delonghi heats up faster and works better, puts out more heat even on the low setting, I use it in a closed bedroom. The 3 settings are more convenient than playing with a digital thermostat. I think it is $36 at Lowes.
The other one is a pain in the a** and does not work well at all on manual. The thermostat is off by 10 degrees and the thing cycles on an off too much. It was around $69
