All electrical wires including space heaters are considered flammable and can be a fire hazard if not handled properly. A simple touch or sudden movement of the wire can be very dangerous and even life threatening.

Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.
Although space heaters can cause life threatening situations, baseboard heaters are preferred as it is permanently installed to the wall and contains safety accessories including a high-temperature safety shutoff feature ,to give you peace of mind and prevent fire hazards.
Not warm enough?
Since space heaters only cover a small amount of space in most cases, you have to be directly in front of it in order to be feel warmth, or you require multiple heaters to get the desired warmth. So while your feet might be warm and toasty, but the rest of your body or the room will still be cold.
