Buying a more expensive heater from a less-cheap store might be a good idea, too.

Honeywell surround heater won't keep running

The quartz heater I linked to earlier seems to be doing a surprisingly good job. It seems to heat up the room more quickly than the Honeywell did, no smell from the start and not running continuously. The only inconvenience I can find is that the analog thermostat, like the Honeywell, isn't very accurate. If I try presetting it when the timer triggers the heater early morning, it's still plenty cold in the room when I walk in several hours later. Due to that, I just might use the external thermostat (I ordered it before recognizing the possible hazards mentioned prior and it arrived on Saturday) I also mentioned before, but leave the heater thermostat at a point where it won't ever run continuously. I think it would be more accurate than the heater's since it's digital.

Being digital does not equal accuracy.

no not at all. Portable heaters with bimetal stats tend to lack compensation, without which the stat is almost useless.
