Fight the Chill: Top Safest Space Heaters... on Amazon!

As the temperatures begin to dip, a number of us turn our sights toward the thermostat... and I'm sure certain thoughts come to mind as well. Should I warm things up with the heater and potentially face a higher light bill? Can I hack it by simply turning off the AC? Should I go ahead and invest in a space heater? What if I just sleep in a thick Halloween costume created by someone named Nancy? Okay... okay, maybe not the last question, but... if your answer is a space heater, then this is the article for you:


This list of space heaters is in no particular order:

The Lasko 755320 is an oscillating space heater that offers two settings for high and low heat, and features an adjustable thermostat to keep the temperature in your room warm. Additionally, the heater comes equipped with built-in safety features, including a tip-over kill switch and overheat protection, ensuring that the ETL-listed product won't overheat even if left on for an extended period of time. One key advantage of this heater is that its exterior remains cool to the touch. The Lasko 755320 is best suited for medium-sized rooms, typically measuring around 12 ft x 18 ft (or 216 sqft).

If you're not familiar with ETL certification, it's worth noting that it's received through a third-party organization called Intertek, which is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) recognized by OSHA and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. This certification is a testament to the Lasko 755320's safety and reliability which increases peace of mind.

It's important to remember that even with certification, common sense is still required to prevent accidents. Avoid placing the heater near clutter, flammable, and combustible objects, and always give it enough space to work effectively.

While none of the products listed are the newest models on the market, they remain some of the safest options available.


The rest of the list includes:

EA now has the keys to WRC, will it result in a win or a wreck?

EA Sports WRC    

With EA now behind the WRC franchise, it's natural to feel both curious and concerned about the game's future. On the one hand, we may see exciting new tracks and modes that weren't previously available. However, there's also a risk of the game being overrun by microtransactions that detract from the overall experience. 

If the game becomes too reliant on these transactions, it should be offered as a free-to-play option instead. As long as EA Sports treats the franchise with care, I'm excited to see what they can do with it. However, I don't believe that annual sequels are necessary. A two-year gap between releases would give the game ample time to breathe and offer a chance for seasonal updates in the meantime. It will be interesting to see how the game looks, powered by Unreal Engine and developed by Codemasters, the team behind DiRT Rally.

The game will continue to feature the official WRC teams and manufacturers, with 10 current WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC vehicles and 68 iconic rally cars from throughout the sport's history. Players will have access to EA Racenet, the company's racing companion app, to help ramp up the competition. Additionally, the game will offer 32-player cross-platform multiplayer action, as well as the ability to create custom multi-surface tournaments and more through the Clubs option. EA Sports WRC will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Store, and the EA app starting November 3, 2023, with pre-orders receiving 3 days of early access, 5 VIP Passes, and 3 Team Livery & Apparel Packs.

MFKZ... Reviewed!

Characters: The characters in MFKZ are somewhat diverse and interesting, adding to the overall story. The two main characters, Angelino and Vinz, are a perfect odd couple, and their dynamic carries the movie throughout. The voice acting is spot on, featuring Kenny Blank as Angelino, Vince Staples as Vinz, Danny Trejo as Bruce, Dino Andrade as Willy, and so many others. There was even a member of the Wu-Tang (Rza) lending his voice to the film.

Story: MFKZ is an action-packed thought-provoking anime movie that takes the adult audience on a thrilling journey through the dark and gritty streets of a dystopian metropolis. From the very beginning, the plot is engaging and full of cool sequences that lock you in. The themes of corruption, urban decay, and social inequality are explored in a really cool way, making MFKZ stand out.

One of the things that resonated with me during MFKZ was the way the movie explored themes of identity and belonging. The story tangles Angelino's ignorance of his true heritage, and Vinz as they attempt to make ends meet and fit into a world where everyone seems to be human. It makes for a poignant and emotional journey that will leave you thinking long after the movie is over. One drawback is that there was a strong stereotypical element that the creators played on. I didn't find the creativity in this, and one of the bigger fight scenes could have been assisted by other characters but it should have been Angelino's fight to the finish. I found this to be disappointing.

Animation: While MFKZ is presented in a 2D animation style, it's clear that the filmmakers paid great attention to the intricacies of each scene. The cinematography and production design are both stunning and immersive, with the art style perfectly capturing the gritty, neon-infused atmosphere of the city. Moreover, the action sequences are dynamic and intense, with the use of slow-motion and other creative techniques taking the excitement to another level.

Audio: The movie's soundtrack is an eclectic mix of rap, rock, and electronic music, with standout tracks like "Vengo" by Ana Tijoux and "Truth or Dare" by Powerflow adding even more energy to the already high-octane scenes. The movie's editing and pace are also top-notch for the most part. The movie is skillfully cut, and the action sequences are perfectly choreographed to keep the audience engaged.


Overall, MFKZ is a visually stunning and entertaining, animated movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While it's not perfect, with a few minor pacing issues and plot gaps, it's still a must-watch film for adult anime fans looking for an entertaining, ride with an ending that justifies a follow-up.

Watch MFKZ on Amazon Prime for free until August 2023!
