What size room will this unit handle? My area is about 500 square feet.

Easily our living room is about 400sq ft and I feel it works just fine if not better.

Mine is a large room (combined kitchen, living area). This is a good air cleaner for me.

I have it in an open area and it keeps this area clean. I would say it is close to 500ft. I hope this helps with your decision

It should handle the room, once you get it going. Several sites say it filters 176 cubic feet per minute. My unit is in an open area not contained in a room. I use it to filter damp odors that come up from the basement. I know it works because the area only has an odor when someone turns off the unit.

You probably should contact the manufacturer to get their answer. The unit is rated for a "large room" and I suspect that 500 sq ft would fall into that category.

I have it in an open area that is at least 500sq.ft and it is working beautifully. You will be pleased.

I would say it should work fine. We have in in a very large master bedroom that has a sitting area, a tv area and the bathroom vanities (if not 500, very close to it). I usually turn it on medium about an hour before we go to bed and then turn it on low overnight. My husband was a chronic snorer before we got it and now he's completely silent.

Same square footage as yours. This heater puts out only a mild heat that will dissipate quickly in bigger rooms, with possibly large or multiple windows. The smaller the space the better it works. It struggled to keep up a satisfactory temp in a space the size of ours. High ceilings probably didn't help my situation either. I placed mine in a bit smaller room and it works wonderfully.

One should be plenty. Mine does fine in a room that's 30 ft x 44 ft. You'll be very pleased with it.

I believe so as if heats my 500 square foot cottage I'm renting in Washington state on the low setting easily. I'm quite sure it can handle a700 square foot basement. Especially if you use the higher setting. The units thermostat is very accurate and will keep the temperature you want. Highly recommended. Hope this helps.

As a rule of thumb use 10 watts of electric heating per square foot of room space. Using that factor, the 500 watt setting can heat a room that is 50 square feet. How well the room is insulated is also a factor. 10 watts per square foot assumes the room is well insulated. Use a higher setting if that is not the case.

It will cool up to a 400sq. ft. room, which is not at all very big. This unit is horrible and do not make the mistake of buying it. It simply does not cool.

Hi Matthew, Happy to help. This unit covers approximately 4000 sq ft. of space depending on the existing air quality of the space. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can possibly help with anything else :).

The manufacturer says 200-300 square feet. From personal use, I would say this is a good range. We use it in our master bedroom and it is great, however it is not powerful enough to diffuse throughout a larger common area. I still really like it overall, but it definitely does not power up to 1500 square feet.

Not having used this in ai 20,000 sq ft warehouse, I can only say that it works well from room to room in a 2000 sq ft dwelling. This is a miniature device. Perhaps contacting the manufacturer would be the best way to get your answer.

I think it will do fine in a room that size. Depending on the configuration, you might need a supplemental fan to circulate the heat, since the unit's fan isn't all that powerful. BTW: My unit is very quiet. It started making a bit of noise during oscillation when I put it out this year and with some investigation, I found the screws holding on the back panel needed tightening. A few minutes with a screwdriver and the heater is now wonderfully quiet again. Altogether a very satisfactory purchase.

Hi, Actually I have the heater in 500 sq ft area and it heats just wonderful. It has to be turned down or I have to shut it off even. I liked it so much I bought another one for heat down at our boathouse. I would give it an 9 on a 10 scale. Good Luck.

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

You may wish to check the specifications, but the size of the room will also depend on the humidity the unit must remove. We have ours in a large unfinished basement area, and it is doing the job quite well. My assessement from a lay perspective is that it will handle a large room or small one-floor apartment nicely. It won't handle a house. I would be overkill for a typical sized-bedroom or bathroom alone.

I would have to guess a room 600 to 900 square feet would be fine and you'll probably get a 3 to 5 degree rise in temperature if left on

From what I've seen with the unit- it should work fine to suppliment a room of this size.
