74. well hiya stranger!!!! good to see you! and I'll update my experience with them too
I'm starting on my third winter now with the e-heaters. I have a fairly open floor plan and don't have enough in the 'great room' per their suggestions. I have two that I use in a 18x25 foot room and need one more in here, but finding an inside wall was an issue, however I do have an extra I'm installing someplace this season.

I live in a drafty 20 year old mobile home in a climate with lots of wind and frequent freezing overnight temps.

I also have them in the master bath and the bedroom and in all but the coldest days (and nights) they keep the house comfortable, in fact we rarely use the one in the bedroom as it gets too hot (we need to move it to the other side of the room away from the bed)

No problems with them whatsoever, no cracking, no burn outs, nothing except a stupid woman who was cleaning my house and managed to crack one in half by hitting it with her fat self. or I think that's what she did, i'm not sure, but abuse was definitely involved.

I can't speak of cost, as I bought them the first summer we lived here, but I do know the old owners would use anywhere from 500-700 gallons of propane a year, and I barely use 300 and don't have to light the furnace until December or January and am able to shut it down in late March or early April.

The e=heaters keep the place comfortable in the 'shoulder seasons' with no additional help. In fact, the lows are forecast to be in the mid 30s tonight, I turned them on when I got home (it's currently 53 outside) and it will be toasty and warm when hubby gets home at 2AM and it will be fine tomorrow AM when we get up.

So, to sum up, I love them and they paid for themselves the first year I'm sure.
