Hi, I don't really know what the temperature was outside; I didn't have any way to tell, but I'm sure it was in the high 30's to the low 40's and with wind and rain. I'm sure there are heaters that put out more heat than the oil filled models, but the main reasons for the oil filled are: No gas, no oxygen depletion, no windows or vents need to be open, no fan noise, and no orange glowing. The last two, a biggie for the wife, can't sleep with fan noise and or a glowing in the dark. [for boon docking, we just have to use the furnace. And if we ever get into freezeing weather]

I understand, but the Pelonis doesn't have an orange glow and the fan is very quite compared to other heaters with fans. It is a true ceramic heater, a five disc ceramic. I will say our oil filled work well but they are not Delonghi, which could be better than ours. We used to have an 85 year old house with an upstairs bedroom that had 14 windows in it and we used the Pelonis and nothing else to keep that room bearable (never real warm but not cold either) and the room was 13' by 22'.
