Good Choice Kirkman,
This will heat underyou, so you will get the warmth, where an electric blanket will direct much of it's heat away from you, and with an area heater you are trying to heat the entire tear, now the area of a tear is quite abit smaller than most other spaces that you would be sleeping in but, the more heat that is directed to where you want to be heated, in this case you, now the area around you will warm up abit, but that will be secondary, your sleeping area is warm and now your part of it.
I like it, Larry Sorenson of the 4x4 teardrop, has used one of these for years, camping in the Mojave Desert all year round, and for those that don't camp in the desert in the winter, it is cooolllddd, our dark-sky site in S. CA desert regurally gets below freezing and not uncomon to be into single digits, now I know that it's that cold and lower in many parts of the country, but how often do you camp in it???
