If you're worried about fan heaters because they all seem to have a poor safety record... that wouldn't be entirely unjustified. There do exist reputable models that won't leave small plastic puddles on your floor, of course, but it can be difficult to separate the good, the bad, and the fire risk.

If you're not up for doing that, you can also look for their cousins, the portable oil-filled radiators. They're... exactly what they say on the tin; a small radiator, filled with oil, that you can cart around and plug in where you want them. As always, go for a recognised brand rather than the cheapest or coolest looking.
