I had considered buying a portable fireplace, an electric one. Has anyone had experience with these, in comparison to just a standard electric heater? I know that the fireplaces are essentially heaters, but are they just as effective (all things being equal, of course). I have a room that is around 130 sq. ft. My brother enclosed it last year (it used to be just an open back-porch), and he put in heating ducts, but it is still chilly in the room. I’d like to invest in a good heater, but not spend more than 0 on it.

I did have an electric fireplace, and even though it was a 500/1500 watt model, it wasn’t as effective as my space heater of the same wattage.
No they take too much juice to run and they don’t heat enough space
Electric fireplaces are more for looks, the heat but mostly the area right around them .. if you want a good heater that’s not really expensive. then my i recommend the following unless you just want the fireplace look. this one is the best .. really heats and is a great price too…
