I have an older version of this:
Lasko Digital Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control - 5160 at The Home Depot
and love it. I used it to keep my kids' rooms warmer than the rest of the house when they were younger (and we lived in a drafty house). We liked it so much we ended up buying a second one. They've taken a beating with the kids knocking them over, throwing the remotes, etc and they still work like a champ.
EDIT: it's also pretty easy to take apart to clean (we have dogs). although I've only had to clean them once in the 3+ years I've had them.
