Not really sure what the deal was with the old one and I wasn't going to waste any time on it. I would turn it on, it would run slower than normal and then stop. It also smelled so it was inevitable that one of my kids would turn it on and I wouldn't know about it. Didn't want to worry about it.
The new one is called the King Pic-A-Watt Wall Heater. You have the option of 250,500,750,1000,1250, and 1500 watts by unplugging certain plug wires. They do sell a larger model if you're interested in that too. It seems to be exactly what I was looking for. It's quiet compared to the others I have but just enough noise it might help you remember to shut it off?
