I do not want to use my home system very much this winter, so I want suggestions for good oil radiators. Is there a good alternative to just getting one from home depot? What are the benefits of getting one in a higher price point? If I purchase one from a box store is it gonna be like other appliances- shittier than if I just bought it direct from the manufacturer? Willing to buy 200-300 dollar Jap shit if the difference is huge and it will last longer/be safer/ more efficient

these things suck at everything

And why exactly are you against using your home system? Those rads are stupidly expensive to run.

You’ll want one with an actual timer-thermostat instead of a wattage setting or you’ll be adjusting it all the time. Or a thermostat socket plug with a long wire.

We have times that electrical heating is cheaper than running natural gas. Maybe OP has a gas tank or something which makes it even more expensive

I managed to get through a winter by using one like in your pic.
I built a shitty stool that would go over it, put it in front of my pc and bundled it all, myself, chair and radiator in a big blanket.
Radiator on lowest setting, it turned on for about 5 min every half an hour or so and it was absolutely toasty underneath the setup. Ultra cozy and decently efficient, given temp inside house was about 10C if I had to guess.
