Are you going to heat the room all day, or are you going to only heat the room in the morning while you’re in the shower
I find this is a very important question to ask, because this will reduce your selection of heaters depending on if you just want to roll out of bed and turn the heater on and shut it off when you’re done with your morning shower. Or do you plan on heating the room all day. If you just want to heat the room just in the morning and get to heat up quickly you are going to need a fan forced heater or infrared heater. A fan forced heater will move more air and heat the room quicker. An infrared will work like a giant French fry warmer and heat you while you stand underneath it but not heat the room. A baseboard heater and a non fan forced wall heater all have no moving parts will heat the room but it will take longer to heat the room to a high seventies or low eighties. With baseboard, and non fan forced wall heaters its recommended you use a digital wall thermostat to preset it to turn on before you wake up so the room is warm for your morning shower
