We've had one of these electric oil-filled radiators heaters on wheels for 15 years and never had any problems. Only needed it in the house during an ice storm but currently have it in the screen room to take the edge off the cold. The cats love it and when the door is open there isn't a blast of cold air into the living room. We've used it in the barn when we've had winter foals and/or when I've slept out there waiting for a mare to deliver. It's very sturdy although if a child fell against it it could tip over - as could any space heater.
As far as I can tell, the electric oil-filled radiator heaters are basically the safest space heater... I still keep flammables away from them, but the heat is spread over such a large area that the cat bundles up directly against it on cold days, and doesn't catch on fire.
