ceramic heater

Clay-element space warmer

A ceramic heater is a space heater that generates warmth by passing electricity through ceramic plates, which heat up and radiate into the room.

The ceramic elements heat quickly and retain warmth efficiently.

These portable units are common for warming small spaces: I keep a ceramic heater under my desk in winter.
