From a potential customer - How warm could this make a small sauna?? 5ft by 5ft?

This heater has thermostat temperature controls or can be manually turned on to run continuously on high or low setting. Can't tell you by temperature how warm it would get in such a small area, but it would be uncomfortable for sure. Also don't know if there may be a high temperature safety shut off built in.

I am using it in a 10 x 12' or 12 x 12' room and it works great. Sometimes gets the room a little too warm, so I think it could probably heat a slightly larger room effectively as well.

less than 4ft. if it is long enough then it's worth it. I have not have overheating since using it.

I don't recall it getting that hot. We use it in our bathroom which is about 6 X 8 and I never noticed it getting that hot. I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about as far a safety. I just know it has worked very well for us the past 2 winters and we have enjoyed it. We will be using it here very soon and if I do notice anything I will let you know.

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

I would look for something larger. That is about the size of the room I use it in and it really just warms the space around the heater - where I sit.

It isn't going to completely heat your room up, I would suggest a larger model with more power. Or get two. I have the same size room and have Spanish tile, so it gets cold! I have 2 heaters, which makes it warmer with 2.

Depends on a lot of factors, especially insulation but assuming its well insulated I'd say a 10x10 room would be a max size. It's more of a supplementary heat than a main heater... unless you're heating a dog house! ;)

The unit itself is cool to the touch. The air coming out is warm enough that you wouldn't want to leave your hand in front of it too long, but it won't burn you. If children would be crawling on the floor around this heater, I would put it on a counter or table. It isn't more than 20" tall. The widest part of the base is 6" wide so it doesn't compare in capacity or height to the large oscillating heaters about twice that tall.

I did not do the calcs myself this info at the end is from another amazon shopper.... As I type this, it's 103 outside with 29% humidity. Inside, without the central air conditioner running, it's 102 and 30% humidity. I filled up this gizmo, turned it on, and the air coming out the front of the unit is 91 with 45% humidity. Since this cooler works by the phase-change of water into gas, you'll need to open your windows and let the air circulate so the humidity doesn't build up to the point where you're in a sauna and start to sweat like--um--someone who's in a sauna. It won't cool down an entire room, but if you'll be typing away on your computer like I am, you'll be sitting in one place. So sit next to the cooling breeze with an iced tea, and you'll be happy as a clam. Here's some numbers for how it works, and what's reasonable to expect from this cooler . . . Everyone knows that to generate steam, you apply lots of heat to water. You'll be happy to learn that if you dip a towel in water and hang it to dry, the liquid water changes to vapor, and in the process absorbs heat. How much heat, you ask? Water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon. To turn one lb of water to vapor, you need to apply about 910 BTU of heat. Multiply 910 times 8.3 and you get 7553 BTU. So, if you can entice a swamp cooler to vaporize one gallon of water in one hour, it will (about) cool as much as a regular window unit rated at 7500 BTU. However, this particular machine professes to vaporize about half a liter of water (about one pint) in an hour. One pint is 1/8 of a gallon, which is about one lb of water, so you can assume this machine will cool at the rate of 900 BTU per hour, which is about 20% of what a small window air conditioner will provide

You definetly will not hear the unit running. It sits very low to the floor. It's a bit long, maybe 48 inches but you should see those specs in the description. It puts out some very warm and soothing heat. You will not be disappointed in this unit, and no one will know why you are the warmest person in the building.

It gets pretty hot!! I love it, but the cord length sucks!!! It would be fine for a smaller kitchen.

This unit is just under 6 inches tall, the top of the unit is full of venting holes, to the point where you can see the components within, so .5 inches will be more than adequate for ventilation. The unit really doesn't get that hot to begin with, it is very well designed, and the sub has its own power cord so no extra heat from that. I highly recommend this product to you and I see no issue that would prevent it from being a perfect fit for you.

This is not the greatest sauna. We ended up returning it. There should be a couple screws to put the heater on but even that was awkward. You have to be very careful to keep the heat in as it's not attached to anything.

If you leave it on the high setting it can maintain a warm temp in a fairly large room. I would say as much as 30x30 room. Keep in mind it will be running a lot and cost a bit in electricity. Maybe 50-60 a month.

Our room in the basement is approximately 20x25 and it heats it very well. It pretty much helps the whole basement (700 sqft) feel warmer. Irea
