Are ceramic, oil-filled or infrared heaters best?

It depends on the room. Specialist subreddit threads we read favor fan-driven ceramic units (like most picks here) for fast, instant warmth and quick room circulation, while r/BuyItForLife and r/bayarea commenters repeatedly recommend oil-filled radiators for quiet, steady, long-duration heat in a closed room. Ceramic heats fast but stops the moment it's off; oil-filled stays warm longer but ramps slowly.
