How consistent is the temperature? Iâm looking for a heater that is very reliable in holding the exactly temperature itâs set to.

You have to remember it is a small electric heater .it does a good job. And oscillates. But dows only go so far.but i like it as a help for our central heat

The thermostat works like many in other such units: it will allow the ambient temperature to drop a degree or two below the set temperature before it cuts in and it will exceed the set temperature by the same degree or two before it cuts out. It's not a highly sophisticated unit--it's just a space heater, after all--but I have been very satisfied with its performance. I purchased it for use it in a fairly small space and it's just perfect.

Depends on the size room. It took awhile to get to the desired temp, but once there it held that temp, no problem. I was able to also confirm this with my wall thermastate, both were matching in temp

It does not hold exact temperature. It will go above some and then stay off until it's below, but other features made up for it for me.

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

I also have electric, and once you get your temperature adjusted it works just fine. It's just a little trickier adjusting the temp with electric because, at least with my stove, the heat switches are staged rather than infinite. Short answer? I got good results with electric.

Yes, I have had mine for about a year and it works great, I have it set at 87 degrees and it is right on. I have only one complaint and that is the price

Mine seems to keep it about 10 degrees above my room temp. It's not like you can set it at a temperature and it'll adjust itself up or down accordingly.

I would hate to offer you a response. I used this heater in a non heated building and it kept me warm as long as I was in close proximity. You may be better served if you asked the manufacturer.

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 think the best thing to do is to call the manufacturer and ask them that question, but I don't think you would need to since the heater can be kept at the desired room temperature by clicking the dial clockwise and stopping when you hear a click sound.

I keep mine on all the time. Found the temp I like and that is where I keep my setting. I really am pleased with this purchase.

I keep mine set at about 30 degrees. I have a thermometer on the wall and when I am not in my shop I turn the thermostat down to 30. If I turn it down more the heater will not run at all.

Sorry I am late responding. I have been out of town for Christmas. It sure does. When you fill the bed, try to come as close as you can to your desired water temperature. The heater is designed to maintain water temperature, not to bring cold water to the desired temperature. It will, but it will bring it up just a very few degrees a day. The last thing is if you are light sensitive, the heater temperature light flashes when it is heating and glows when the temperature has been met. According to the literature, it maintains the temperature with in 1/4 of a degree meaning if it heats back and forth between the 1/4 degree range selected for it. We love it.

yes, my 200 watt is running about 6 F too high and my 300 watt is running about 11 F too high...however they do seem to hold steady once you compensate. And I do seem to have to recheck/recalibrate for the summer months. however there are so few heaters available with an exterior control i figured i'll just put up with this until something better comes along.

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

Where do you live? Has it now turned warmer there? One of the last times I used my heater, about a month ago, it only ran for about 15 minutes and then turned itself off. I happen to have a couple small thermometers in my bedroom, so I noticed the temp was warmer than the 68 setting I had the unit turned onto. I did use it a couple times after that in the bathroom which is on a very shady side of the house and the heater worked like normal. So I think it's just smart enough to know when it's not needed. This is just a guess on my part.

My room is 20 by 12. The heater will raise the temp from 50 to 68 in about an hour and a half and maintains that temp with no problem, turning itself on and off to maintain constant temp.

Definitely ! I use one just like this in my small livingroom that has a wood floor, and on the 800 watt setting it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the temperatures drop down in the 20's. It will keep the temperature at about 66 to 67 degrees which is just fine for me :) It beats the high electricity bills I get if I were to use the walls heaters my home came with ! Just make sure you set it out in the open so it can work properly, and not right up close to you ! If I need a little extra up close heat I just use my heated electric throw/blanket.

There is not a temperature that shows on the heater. When it feels to warm I just turn mine down. I have been very satisfied with that. It works well and does not cost a lot to use.
