Engine Block Heater

I've never really lived in a cold climate, so I'm not familiar with these block heaters. The Infiniti parts sites also don't show any pics. How big are these things, where do they install? Are they easy to completely remove from the vehicle when not in use? They require wall-outlet AC power to operate right? What kind of temps do they run at?

Just curious about how viable an option it would be, in a warmer climate, to use this to pre-heat the engine and reduce oil warmup time with a big oil cooler setup
