We installed a touch safe oil filled radiant heater in the walkout basement suite. Very quiet and does an outstanding job of warming 2 rooms totalling approximately 420 ft2. Advantages over the fan forced units is residual heat output, doesn't blow stuff around, and as already stated, it is quiet. Although, it is slower to get up to temperature.
Potential downside is catastrophic failure leading to oil leakage.
Having used both, I would take an oil filled over a fan forced unit for small room heating.
