I have baseboard electric heat which was costing me a mint to run....I got two of those oil filled raditor electric units and what a huge difference in my bill...additionlly warmer heat stays steady...you no longer have it warm up shut off and cool down as with baseboard.

Works well for me! Does my entire apartment...and i never turn the heat down...just maintain the same temp. Wonderful!

The only difference would be that you are only fully heating a smaller area. It is called area heating. It is a myth that one type of electric heat is cheaper per BTU’s of heat. Since at the heater itself electric heat is pretty close to 100% efficient. Only the wiring supplying the electricity can cause heat loss in useless places.
