This is the wall unit in our apartment (with a remote control for distance heating). It's effective at heating the room in which it is located (kitchen/living room), but the heat does not cross the threshold into the bedrooms.
This was at a hostel in Taupo. You pull the cord hanging at right, and heat comes shooting out the bottom black edge. We had to turn it off in the middle of the night because we were sweating!
Heat came up through these floor vents at another Taupo hostel. When we first arrived, sitting on the floor next to the heater was the best option. Over the course of several hours, the room warmed up to a comfortable temperature. However, around midnight, the heat stopped coming! It was quite cold after that... and that was the morning we woke up to frost on the car!
I've seen this type of indoor heating lamp at several restaurants and cafes. As soon as the person sitting directly beneath this heater left, the waitress turned it off!
How about an indoor wood-burning stove to warm your toes? This was at our hostel in Waitomo.
And this one was at our fancy restaurant in Waitomo! We were seated right next to it.
And of course, if all else fails, there are a variety of possum fur products to meet your heating needs!
Seriously, possum products can be just as expensive as -- if not more than -- wool products here. Who knew?
