Wouldn't an exception be if a device also requires a fan to move the heated air?

Also, are you saying that all types of space heaters work equally well? E.g., oil-filled radiator vs infrared. Or are you just saying that two devices with the same amps or watts are going to cost the same to run, regardless of how well they heat?
