I had one of these in an apartment I lived in,
and I actually didn't use it all the time
because it was too hot!  I imagine it has a
lot to do with where you live.  In colder
climates, I imagine it would be less 
effective than in warmer ones.  I live in
the San Francisco Bay Area.

I do tend to keep thick fuzzy rugs on my
bathroom floors.  My experience was that
the infrared heat, combined with a fan,
would warm the bathroom thoroughly enough
that the rug was even slightly warm.

Does it make any sense to get an infrared
bulb, put it in one of those clamp-on shop
lamps, and test it out for a while?
