Reply to comment by cjeam in Does oil filled heater takes much longer than the fan heater? by Substantial-Elk-1259

Yep. Booth are 100% efficient and the only electric products that can be 100% efficient. The oil ones might be perceived as more efficient because they keep letting off heat once turned off, so the room doesn’t cool as quickly after use.

I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or contradicting me.

If you agree, ignore this, if not, here’s the explanation:

Electric heaters are the only things that are 100% efficient. All other devices lose energy by putting off heat. A motor turns but coils heat up for example so that’s wasted energy. A heaters purpose is to convert electric energy to thermal energy. There’s no other form of energy that it puts off as waste.
