I'm a little West of Hal, but it has been Brrrrrrrrr here as well. I bought one of these for the boat yesterday:
I bought one in Red at Target for $30. It's very small, very light, very quiet, and dare I say it- cute. It doesn't make those awful noises that ribbon heaters make, and it's not fragile as the old Quartz models. Also note the power rating: 375/750 watts. No blown breakers with this one. I checked it out, and in fact I'm using it right now. It won't heat a large room, but it doesn't have to, for my purposes.
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy another one, and that one _will_ go on the boat.
