Couldn't this heater be used without a table? It seems like it could be placed in the center of a room in order to get heat all around it.

Yes,, it COULD, but it will probably be much less effective trying to heat a whole room with it. It's best used to provide a billow of warm air all around a table, from underneath.

Heater does not have a fan. A fan might be nice, but then it would need to have electric power to it. I have used it a garage and put a fan behind it to help circulate the heat. The advantage to not needing electricity is complete portability and it functions in a power outage.

I have one of these heaters. It should have no problem with a room that size.

It does get hot so you need to leave space. This is not a freestanding unit so you have to have some kind of counter to actually put it in.

I have a large living room, dining room, kitchen combo and another 10 x14 room off of the dining room. All connected. The heater does work well down into the 30s but it runs all the time. It doesn't put out a large amount of heat but it keeps the main living room cozy. It would have to be a smaller area to make it get too hot. It will not replace your furnace but it does help to keep the furnace from coming on as much. I had a 4 element heater but returned it right away and bought this product instead.

It's a deacent additinal heat source, but not a stand alone heat source in larger rooms such as living rooms.

I think it could be used inside with a proper location. You would need room for it and the propane tank, and venilation.I would not recommend it though.

It gets very hot! The large heat element looks like a kitchen top coiled element that glows red hot when fully warmed up. The only problem is that when it comes on it blows cold air until its warmed up. It was unpleasantly cold waiting for the elements to reach operating temperature. If it is place away in a closed room it is probably not an inconvenience but if used in a large open space it is.

Unless you live in the south this heater can not be a main source of heat in the room. I use it keep bedrooms warm during the winter time in addition to HVAC. You use it as a main source of heat if you put two-three of these in your room. I have a neighbor who uses two heaters for his living room.

No. It's a light, not a heater. It looks like there are heated perches available. Maybe that would help.....

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

I would think that it would have to be sitting directly on the electric source to work. Convection heat alone wouldn't work.

the heat comes out of the top of the fire place so I don't think you can mount "INTO" the wall, I think you could mount "ON" the wall. I just have ours sitting on a table in my bedroom. since the heat comes out of the top... it has to be so many inches away from a ceiling. The black you see is the "lip" then there is a box behind it, which would fit into a wall, but that is where the heat comes out of so that is why I don't think you can mount it IN the wall. I don't know if I was much help but I tried. I do like the heater, It does help heat our bedroom up in the cold winters! the heat comes out of the top of the fire place so I don't think you can mount "INTO" the wall, I think you could mount "ON" the wall.

I'd say that is probably pushing it on size. However, using two of these heaters there might work. You might want to try an infrared heater instead. It heats the air pretty effectively and I use one in my 12x15 bedroom as the only heat source here in the mountains.

The flame looks good, and yes it can be run without heat on. With heat turned on it works very well to heat up the room.

This is an emergency heater. When I run out of oil, or I don't want to use too much oil. I have 2 room the living room and the dining room that is always too cold. This is located in the dinning room facing to the living room for heat.

Spark,We have been very happy with this unit. We have 3 now. It should heat room that size quite easily. Set the heater to the temperature you want, don't just set it on high because it will continue to heat the room, and it will make your room too hot...
