Our take
The Com-Pak upgrade for a bedroom: a digital thermostat with Night/Away setback, a variable-speed fan and a five-year warranty, in a heater that fits existing vertical Com-Pak wall cans.
The plug-in route if you have, or will add, a dedicated 30 A circuit with a NEMA 6-30R outlet, and a heater you can store in summer. Its manual says floor use only, not for household use, and not to leave it running unattended for long.

Watch out for
A wall thermostat may not be used to control it.
The product page advertises wall or ceiling mounting; the manual says floor heater only. Go by the manual. Not for areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
