   When you depend on answers from 'AnswerBag'....  The models that   
   incorporate one or more motors for fans or rotation would be less that   
   100% efficient although I doubt they would use 20% of the input.   
      
   You've got to watch the hype. 'This SuperHyperBolic Gizmo uses 30% less   
   energy'  Well, duh, it's 1000W and not 1500W like most portable heaters.
