Stanley. Just got one for Christmas.

I have 5 of the oil-filled radiator heaters, one for almost every room. I've never needed or even used the high wattage setting, in the 20 or so years I've been using them. I think my are a combination of 900 and 1500 watts per heater.

I have. 600 and 900 watt. This may not be helpful...but, I find it's a heater that's got a lot of "torque", if you get my meaning. There isn't that blast of hot air, but just a constant even temperature. As for warm enough, that depends on so many factors. I suppose the best compliment I can pay is that I sometimes turn it down, sometimes up, but I haven't paid much attention to the settings specifically.

Thanks for this, u/LetsBeginwithFritos ! I had been reluctant to buy any dash cam due to the power wiring issue (getting wiring installed in headboard professionally), which your suggestion totally solves!

Does it have a lower wattage setting than 1500? If it does, have you tried that one, to see if it keeps you warm enough?

Also less likely to start a house fire, and safe to leave on overnight if needed, with the added bonus of not drying you out as badly.

There is no answer for this. Leather quality comes from the leather and the workmanship and the materials other than leather. 0 people know these metrics for the "designer brands" to make a ranking list. If you want a Fendi wallet? Go get the damn thing. It will be BIFL, don't worry as 95% of luxury goods are rebadged/designed from paragon OEM sources. Will it last as long as a BIFL wallet from a non-designer? It will likely be close but there's an aesthetic difference between normal and designer and some want this. Beware haters that get big mad about $1000 wallets....while not my cup of tea....they are legit, but some get SuperMAD about them.

I upgraded to an oil filled portable radiant heater. I really love it. Same wattage as ceramic fan (1500W in this case) but it seems sturdier. Maybe also less likely to burn out if overloaded? In any case would recommend.

Owala…. Hands down. The free sip one.

Mitchell Leather in Milwaukee has spectacular leather wallets.

Ashland leather gets my vote for the best wallet out there. $200-$300, better than any designer wallet you can buy. Most Horween leather will hold up forever.

I’ve had a Tumi for 8 years and it’s held up well. I don’t think it’s a BIFL and will likely be replacing it within the next 2 years.

I can’t provide a specific product recommendation for BIFL (yet) but I can provide “some” insight for now

The advertised room size doesn’t matter. If it pulls more energy from the walls, it spits out more heat. 1200W large heater is just as warm as 1200W small heater. The energy transfer medium is probably what matters more, like infrared vs convection

I didn’t see anything like that.

Honestly can't stand straws. I still do not understand their existence. Unless it sports and you need the straw to get pas the helmet cage....

I love my Yeti’s with the straw. I have two of them and trade them out.

Second Saddleback.

If you want a more “feminine” option check out Able goods. I love my Able bag and wallet. They also have a lifetime leather guarantee.

Calfskin isn’t very bifl

I got 5 years out of my dualit kettle so not bifl but i was happy enough given multiple boils every day . This is in US though so the lower voltage makes a noticeable difference in boil time. I like the cleanable stainless scale filter where most brands you pour through plastic

My Epi leather wallet from LV has held up pretty well over the past 15 years. Some wear on the folds, but outside leather is almost like new.
