Are electric oil filled radiators cheap to run?

i just got a delonghi with a 2kw heat out put...Are electric oil filled radiators cheap to run?
yes they are cheaper to run as they do not have a fan that uses a lot of electricity to circulate the warm air..and electricity is cheaper than gas..It does take a couple of hours to warm the room {my room is 30x20} they work great..Are electric oil filled radiators cheap to run?
i disagree w/last answer it takes alot of elect to get heater hot you would actually have to have fan running to get the heat circulated last answer must have holes in his place for real Report Abuse

they are cheaper than running a house heater. they work best in a closed room.
no way i had one in my basement to heat it a little my electric bill was $170 the folks who live in the upstairs appartment, their electric bill was $30 . its a small heater only about 3 feet high and 1 1/2 feet long.
when you say expensive or cheap you have to know compared to what If your house is being heated with electricity that is expensive compared to natural gas these heaters room on electricity so if your electricity cost you a lot then they would be expensive they do trap heat and hold it so they are not always on but when they are on full they draw lots of amps
