    What heats a person in a garage better? $100 Costco Parabolic heater $100 Costco Ceramic Space heater
    An old friend of mine is cleaning up his tools and he has the cars out of the garage which is very airy (because it's a garage) and hence very cold.
    He wants heat. I want to give him a gift.
    Which heat is better? Parabolic Ceramic (resistance, with fan)
    One "throws" the heat, as I understand it. The other "fans" the heat, as I understand it.
    I'm worried that he's so old he'll hurt himself on the "hot" to the touch parabolic - but on the other hand I'm worried the ceramic "fan" heater won't throw enough heat to matter (since a garage is airy by design).
    Any suggestions?

    The ceramic heater is the safer choice and spreads heat better in a drafty garage. The parabolic feels hotter up close, but itrCOs easier to burn yourself on it.
