The ads for these heaters are full of misstatements, half truths, and outright lies. Fundamentally, all electric heaters have the same characteristics and are 100% efficient, using all their energy to heat the air or the aobjects around them. If you are concerned about something that's "hot to the touch", get an oil-filled convection heater or a ceramic heater that distributes the heating element over a larger area, and then put it out of reach or cover it with something like a metal milk crate. The oil-filled unit would probably be the best choice, take up less space, and be a LOT cheaper.
