It blows my mind that we can get portable space furnaces for so little money these days.
When I think back to how things used to be, the price of a portable space furnace was close to twice what it is now.
The space furnaces of yesteryear were extremely expensive and not nearly as powerful as the portable space furnaces of this week. When I stop and think about it, this is completely mind-boggling. It only takes a few minutes for a portable space heater to warm an entire room. However, it may take the seasoned space furnaces a long time to heat even a modest room. In my experience, today’s portable space furnaces can warm a critical family room in as little as two or three minutes. Which, if you ask me, is completely unbelievable, given that modern portable space furnaces are no more powerful than a blender found in a dorm room. And unlike when I was a kid, when they were made of a hunk of metal, modern ones are made of heat-resistant plastic. It’s incredible that they can sell portable space heaters for so cheap considering all of these factors. Portable heating systems used to cost several hundred dollars, but now you can find them for seventy dollars or less during a sale. Each of the four rooms in my house has its own portable space heater. I keep saying it, but this is truly an incredible development. In a world where portable space furnaces are affordable, efficient, and made of heat-resistant plastic, the notion of cozy, warm homes has transformed from an extravagant luxury into an accessible reality for everyone.
