The quartz heater I linked to earlier seems to be doing a surprisingly
good job. It seems to heat up the room more quickly than the Honeywell
did, no smell from the start and not running continuously. The only
inconvenience I can find is that the analog thermostat, like the
Honeywell, isn't very accurate. If I try presetting it when the timer
triggers the heater early morning, it's still plenty cold in the room
when I walk in several hours later. Due to that, I just might use the
external thermostat (I ordered it before recognizing the possible
hazards mentioned prior and it arrived on Saturday) I also mentioned
before, but leave the heater thermostat at a point where it won't ever
run continuously. I think it would be more accurate than the heater's
since it's digital.

I'm taking this new heater back, I can't stand the burning plastic smell
it's producing.

Being digital does not equal accuracy.

no not at all. Portable heaters with bimetal stats tend to lack compensation, without which the stat is almost useless.
