ceramic heaters

Porcelain heating units

Ceramic heaters are portable electric space heaters that pass current through ceramic plates, which heat up and radiate warmth.

The ceramic elements heat quickly and retain heat efficiently.

Most have fans to distribute warm air: I keep a ceramic heater under my desk in winter.

They're considered safer than coil heaters because the ceramic surface stays cooler to the touch.
