My dad wants a little space heater to put on the counter in his bathroom but all I can find are digital and complicated. I want one that has to be turned on by a physical dial that works as a timer. I hope that makes sense.

I’ve scrolled Walmart and Amazon and can’t seem to find one.

It sounds like you want to buy an old space heater.

Do not under any circumstances buy an old space heater. Do not any circumstances use an old space heater. They are not safe and have can fail and kill people in a myriad of ways.

I used to work at a summer camp, one of my campers and his younger sister died a horrifying death because of a space heater. The worst part is that he lived for a day afterwards before he died.

Do not use an old space heater.

Definitely. Thanks. I need something just like I described. There has to be a new one out there. Like a kitchen timer. Mechanical.

Timer outlet in socket?

[Edit: didn't read the rest of the thread, sounds like cheesface had the answer]

I appreciate ya. And it could be digital too. Just needs to have no way of staying on and no extra steps.
