For instance, I turn the heater on at night and close the door in my bedroom. The entire room gets warm and cozy, but, once I step out of my room, the rest of the apartment is cold. The rest of my apartment is a large room that is not enclosed so the heater would never heat so large of a space. If I step out of the beam in my large room (say I was sitting on the couch in front of the TV), the rest of the room is a lot cooler.

Ceramic space heaters are intended for use in smaller spaces, like a single bedroom. They heat up quickly and cool down quickly when turned off. All space heaters generated heat and should never be left in the reach of small kids. Read the directions, use the heater only as instructed and never leave a child unattended when contact can cause burns.
