No, Steve, that's not a square. Count the sides, what does it look like? What do you call that?

oops, let me turn off "father of toddler" mode.

One thing that they said on the Home Time clip which was interesting was that the far infra-red panels continue to give off heat after being 'excited' which makes you wonder if they've experimented with some type of on/off, quick timer to make them even more efficient.

Imo, Mark, I'd get a ceramic heater for the rest of this winter, then do a little more thorough research on permanent alternatives in the summer. Who knows, maybe you'll get a better deal in the off season as well.

I didn't think that was possible til they reached the "I know everything" mode

A little late here but as a precaution to the now gone blizzard of 2011 we had bought the same exact model Mark linked to. We were lucky enough not to need it but decided to give it a test run today.

We have it in our 13x20x7.5 living room. Right now it's 5F with a real feel of -15 and this little heater has keep the room at 69 to 70F constant. It's been running pretty much non stop but it has done a good job.
