i recommend you avoid polluting the air in an enclosed space. So no oil burning inside the room. The central heating would be a much better option in my opinion
Alternatively, weak electric heaters with good placement can heat rather large rooms without wasting nearly as much power
They said oil filled radiator, not oil burning. I expect it’s a very efficient electric heater like these:

If they are trying to keep one room warm and don’t care about freezing the rest of the house those are very efficient.
I was thinking of one of those radiators that burn oil, and you have to fill them up before use. Thank you for clarifying!
ps. the link appears to not work for me? Maybe they have a region block?
This is the same layout as the device I was referring to:
Oh that’s an odd approach, it’s just an electric heater with extra steps
I agree that burning oil would be a terrible idea. In this case, the oil would be in an enclosed radiator that is designed to function as an indoor heater. Thanks for looking out tho!
That is actually pretty cool! In that case, the slowness shouldn’t be a big issue. As soon as you’ve got a comfortable temperature you only need to maintain it

I think by “plugin” op means electric rafiator filled with some special oil that dissipates heat. So it’s still electric just the heating element will heat and circulate oil.

Oh that’s pretty cool, sorry for the misunderstanding
