How specific is the thermostat control, and does it work well? I'm looking for a heater that will turn off when the room reaches about 70 degrees.

It's a rotary dial without a digital reading. I set it based just on comfort in the room and it seems to keep it pretty steady.

It's not really specific. We have a thermometer in the room so we allow the room to get to 68 degrees and then turn the heater off so it knows to keep it about that temp, but the heater doesn't actually have a visible thermometer/thermostat on it. Hope this helps.

Not at all specific. There are two knobs but no thermostat. It's basically on/off and fan speed hi/lo

Unless you have a thermometer, you will be unable to achieve an exact temperature solely with the temperature knob. How it works is that you turn the temperature regulator knob all the way up and when the temp in the room feels comfortable, you slowly turn the knob down until the unit shuts off. The unit will continue to keep the temp range you have selected. If you desire a warmer or cooler temperature, you turn the knob accordingly and experiment until you find the correct temp.

There is a timer on the heater. Once your room reach the desired temperature it will automatically stop and come back on once the temperature drops below your desired temperature.

You turn it on and it's good to go...you control it with the remote control. There's a high and a low setting. Once it reaches the max. temp within both of those settings, it will shut off and come back on, just like your furnace. The temperature is a digital panel on the front, so you know what temp the room is at. Very handy unit.

I have two of these heaters, one in a room about 12x12 feet, one in a room about 12x20 feet. Both rooms can be maintained at 75 degrees with the heater control set at half of maximum or less when the outside temperature is as low as 25 degrees. Lower outside temperatures or a house with poorer insulation than mine would require higher settings, but there appears to be more capacity available.

Stacie, I cannot say what the bottom shut-off is, but I can tell you that if I set it at #1 (and the thermostat functions a little below #1) the heater will shut of with the temperature in the low 60's. I have to bring it between 2 & 3 to get the area to the 68-70 degree range.

Even on the low setting it will let you choose the temp. The temp goes in increments of 5, from 65 to 85 (I believe). This is a great heater that keeps our 450sf bedroom very warm.

This heater does have thermostatic control. You have the option of setting the heater from 60 to 85°. You also have the option of using the timer.

I have a huge large master bedroom with a high ceiling. I use this heater at night with the door closed. I set it at 70% on the low setting. It does a great job of maintaining the heat at 70%. I know because we have a thermometer in the room that we check it against. It comes on and off during the night but we can't hear it. I have bought other heaters that could not do what this one does and were noisy. I have 3 of these in my home and I highly recommend this heater.

The heat coils and fan will turn off when the room reaches the desired temp. There is also a fan-only setting that will run if you just need a fan.

you can set temp where u want it at and leave it..whenever it reaches that temp the heater will turn off and back on when it needs to reach the temp that you set it for......basically...set it and leave it.

I just checked the thermostat and it only goes down to 45 degrees. If you are trying to use this for freeze protection, you might look into a space heater with a built-in digital thermostat.

The heater portion is only set to come on when the temperature drops to a certain temperature, then shut off when it warms up. IIRC, it comes on at 35 degrees and shuts off at 45, so I don't think that is what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, the thermostat is not set up in a temperature reading, rather, numbered 1 - 5. I believe the lowest thermostat level would engage the heater @ around 55*f for the entire room temperature.I guess it would depend on the size of the area you are working with and the placement of the heater within that area.... Overall the thermostat trigger points would remain the same, but if heater were installed near ceiling level, you would offset the actual area temperature to engage the heater at a lower temperature. The built in blower fan switch has the options of on-off-auto, but its air output is far from any kind of forced air performance. Again, it would depend on the area you are working with and the outside temperature or is subjected to, as I use it in a garage type working area of approx. 1200 sq. Ft. In the Georgia winters (the heater struggles a bit once it gets below freezing, but I can't complain as it is not rated for such a larger size area). I am still pleased with my purchase. I hope this helps.

Yes it will work because it is preset to stay at 72 degress I think. It will shut itself off and come back on when temp. drops. I have had no problem with either of mine. Very good heater. Make sure you get you a thermometer so you can keep check on it. Hope this helps.

There is a thermostat that you set and it will go off when the temperature is reached. It's a good product

the thermostat is only the temperature of the heat coming from the heat. not room temperature.good luck

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.
