Agreed... Plus you need to use only for a month or two at Max(depending on one's tolerance to cold). I used it only for a month, last 2 weeks of Dec and 1st two weeks on Jan. After that, the cold subsided.
Yep... same for me.. usage from dec 10/15 till maybe end of Jan. Max usage in Jan. I used to have constant headaches before buying this and always dreaded winters.
Great. Though what size is the drawing room. These heaters need closed rooms to create a formidable change in environment temperature. Else their function is reduced to a mere rod heater. Stand close and get warm. In a closed room (which would be at 10C), with an oil heater running one can be in a t shirt / shorts and relax.
So the OFR can actually keep the drawing room warm despite it not being an insulated environment. Keeping it there for now. The only grouse is that it takes at least an hour and a half or more for it to be noticeably warm (purely due to size & openness of room). If somebody comes from outside and needs quick heating then the quartz or air blower needs to be pressed in action.
Go for the second one, looks better IMO and 'probably' the fin design may aid in better heat transfer.
