Default Electric Panel Heater

Can anybody comment on this product for me? How energy efficient is it? I've got a spare bedroom in my basement (about 12x20) that doesn't have any HVAC ductwork and it gets pretty cold in the winter. I've been using ceramic heaters and I'm looking for something safer, more efficient, and better looking.

Thanks

All electric resistance heaters are 100% efficient - so this no better or no worse than the ceramic heater. That said , electric heat is usually more expensive than heat derived from gas or oil. If you can divert a duct into that room from your central heating system, it will heat less expensively.

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. I hope the advice on the web site that you have coincidentally linked has better advice.
