I wanted to buy a space heater for my bedroom.
I didn’t want just any space heater, but I wanted the best and safest space heater I could find.
My boyfriend wasn’t happy with how much time I was wasting in the home store, but I was going to get what I wanted, or I wasn’t buying anything. He told me to just buy a space heater so we could go home. I started asking a lot of questions about the oil-filled space heater that I was interested in. I wanted to make sure it had tip-over features. If the space heater were to tip over, I didn’t want to have my house catch on fire. The tip-over feature would turn the space heater off the minute it was unevenly placed on the floor. The space heater I was asking about also had a cool touch. It blew heat into the air, but the heater itself would remain cool to the touch. The only thing I worried about, was that if the power went off, I wouldn’t have any heat, and that is what I wanted the space heater for. The man at the counter told me he had the perfect solution for that. He had a battery powered plug that allowed the owner of the space heater to plug it in and have up to eight hour of usage before the battery died. I loved that idea and I walked out of the store, the proud owner of a space heater with all the safety features I wanted, then some.
