Ok I get that some heater are more efficient at heating an area, person heater over space heater etc.

But sometimes
The efficiency gets quoted. And other than losing energy at heat (which seems fine) how else do they lose energy?

Its lack of efficiency comes when compared to other methods of heating.

Its inefficient for the same reason its not effective to heat your kitchen my leaving the stove on. There are other better ways to do the same thing.
