What is the recommended room size for a unit to heat effectively?

I am sorry that I can't help because I need an electrician to hook it up. It was more complicated than I thought.

Hi Elizabeth; I have one Lasko 5840 heater in my master bedroom. The room size is 18' x 22'. It does just fine in that room. I also have one in our family room. The size of that room is 22' x 13'. It does fine in that room also. It does not heat really fast, but does OK. It's the best portable heater I have owned so far. It's very quite for it's size and does not smell. Hope this helps. Larry

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.

I m am heating a well insulated area approx. 12' x 12' and its the only source of heat. its always around 70 deg. and the thermostat is set at 2. I highly recommend this heater. I use natural gas. if there is a power failure it will continue to operate. I shut it down in the warm months and restaI heat an area 12' x 12' and its my only source of heat on that side of the house. I converted an attached garage into a bathroom and laundry room. with the thermostat set at no. 2 its always 70 deg. its running on natural gas. I am very satisfied with its operation and it will fully operate with loss of power. i rate it highly and easy to install I m am heating a well insulated area approx. 12' x 12' and its the only source of heat. its always around 70 deg. and the thermostat is set at 2.

Greetings James, the room I have this unit in is about 2400 cubic ft and it does NOT keep the whole room at 65-70 deg only an area of approximately 8' x 8'. It really is good for a small bedroom. I use it to warm the sofa/seating area around the TV but beyond that I'd have to use the house heater. I got this to avoid having to use the house heater due to cost. It does the job for the small area only. Ciao, TLM

I have one in the bedroom and it can heat more than that. The room is probably 12'x12'.

I think that it is recommended for 700 sq ft. but I am able to heat 1000 sq. ft. easily by placing it in a central part of the house (wall mounted) and using ceiling fans reversed in the more distant rooms. I am using natural gas so not sure if that makes any difference or not but I highly recommend this heater.

Any size room. I have one in my living room, it's large and I have one in my master bedroom the heat blows all over, I don't leave it on to long because it get really hot in here.mthe remote comes in handly a lot. Sometimes I have to run my fan because it gets to hot. But you will love the heater, just sit it in the corner of your room. I only payed 63.00 a few years ago when they first came out from SAMs club. The other one I bought from Amazon

700W on low,1500W on high. /15'x24' room heating up in about 1 hour from 65 F to 78F/ note if your gonna point toward coldest wall set-700w, would be enough to set - auto overnight- it will keep room comfy /experiment with settings/ . bathroom 12' x 14' getting 60F to 85F in 10 min ,set on high = 1500W. ;)

definitely a master suite size room. i live in a studio garage apartment (basically a 2 car garage) and it heats the place nicely.

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.

I don't know the maximum room size for this heater. From my experience during this winter, one heater nicely heats a well insulated 200 sq.ft. room in Albuquerque, NM. I have two of these heaters in this room and no other heat. This has been more than necessary, but the units don't run very long and they are surprisingly quiet. I have been happy with these heaters.

Depending on the starting temperature about a hour to get up to around 65F with around 35F outside temperature if the room is insulated correctly. I'd actually recommend the larger size if it's your only source of heat in the home to have the higher reserve capacity. I used it as a supplement in a child's room at end of house to two larger ones heating a 1200 sft home.

I think the unit is too small for that size room. If I am not mistaken sunbean has another units for larger rooms. I use it in a 30 square foot room, it makes the room very hot , but this might not be the case in a larger room.

Not sure. It should heat a 20' x 20' room very well. You also can take it off "Auto" and it will run all the time and not try to get to its set temp. If the air coming off the machine while it is running isn't hot, then your unit is defective.

Choose between 9000 or 12000 BTU depending on your room characteristics (Use 12K if your room has extra heating or cooling loads as compared to a standard room).
