How energy efficient are these?
Anyone recommend one that is if this isn't efficient?

Any electric heater is going to be at least 95% efficient at source. This would be more like 99.9%, as I`m assuming it has a light on it somewhere.
This type of heater will slowly heat the things in the room, as opposed to a fan heater which warms the air quickly first. A fan heater would be better for say, heating a spare bedroom for an unexpected visitor. An oil heater is best for keeping a room warm constantly, or if you can plan around switching it on well in advance.

As has already been said all electric heaters are of similar efficiency. However radiators, fan heaters and the like never heat the surroundings above blood heat, so they can only slow down the rate of heat loss from the body and prevent discomfort. If you want to feel comfort you need heat flowing into the body and this needs a radiant heater in front of you-the old one bar fire or the halogen element type. That's why people walking into a room with an open or gas fire always immediately toast their backside in front of it-it feels good.

The good thing about the oil filled heaters is that they have a thermostat so when they reach their desired temperature they turn off and don't waste energy, unlike others which will keep on pumping out the heat. They then turn on again when the temperature has dropped.
These type of heaters are fantastic.
It's really worth buying whilst the price is low! Sometimes you can put one of these on when the sitting room is a little chilly but it's not worth putting the central heating on. It takes the edge off the cold.
