Has anyone tried those plug-in space heaters that use the electricity to heat up the fast heating yet heat-retaining liquid (silicon?) in the copper tubes then shuts off the electricity. I know they're (self) touted as energy savers but wondered if anyone knows for sure. Might be an option? In theory I can see how it would be more efficient than straight electric baseboard heat because of the liquid heat sink aspect.
