can i use it as a heater

Most definitely. Tops out at 81 degrees, but was a godsend for me and the family when our pipe froze, rending our furnace useless for a few hours. This kept us from freezing and even helped heat a 550 sq ft room up to about 64 degrees from 59 F. It'd do far more in a normal sized bedroom.

It heats very well as long as the outside temperature is above 40 degrees. It "pumps" heat from the outside so the higher the temperature outside the better the efficiency. At an outside temp of 45 degrees it can roast a 15 by 15 room if you want. I really don't know if this one will work below 32. Since it loses its efficiency anyway I don't try.As the other poster said - definitely use the two hose set up.

Yes, and it works pretty well. You will get the best performance if you use both the inlet and outlet hoses rather than single hose mode.

I've never used it as a heater, but it can be. According to the manual, the exhaust hoses have to be connected to the outside when using it as a heater.

It appears that you can but the reason I bought it was for the vibrations so I don't really use the heat. I tried it to answer you but didn't seem like I got any heat although the light came on without the vibration. I almost seem to get more heat from the vibration. Hope this helps some.

Yes, as long as the heater is not rated for over 5000 watts. Its a simple thermostat. One contact (2 wires) closes or opens by the heat setting and the other contact (2 wires) opens in the off position.

It could for a few years or a week. It uses a cheap motor. If you have the ability it get the 30 amp circuit for the heater, I would get some good heat tape for pipes and not the heater

In my opinion, this heater has NOT been designed to be used moving vehicles. IF you need warmth when going to work, GET ANOTHER VEHICLE with a heater.

Absolutely. We have been using it for over a year and don't have to use the heater at all. If you have decent sun exposure it works great. We're in Northern Calif. and it works great.

Yes it can, it can be used as just an AC unit. It sounds roughly the same though.

I don't see why not, as long as it is treated in the same manner as a hair dryer - kept away from a water-filled sink or bathtub. I just love this heater. It is so quiet that I can't tell it is running. I work from home full time, and it keep it aimed at my feet as an alternative to raising the thermostat. Why heat the whole house all day when I am in only one room?

Bought the heater for my mom, and really can't say if you can just use it as a fan.

The heater is made to use under a desk where it would be in close contact. It would not put out enough heat for a room.

If the heater is inches away from your body, then probably yes. Personally, I would consider a larger unit as this one is very small and best for supplemental heat.

No, you can't, if you want to use it as a heat blower you need a attachment (Iso-Tip #7992-003)

I don't think so. I use it in a small enclosed space but it may not get warm enough in an open space. Doesn't get as hot as a baseboard heater.

I don't see why not. However, you will need a 240 volt circuit and have to wire that heater for 240 volt operation. The thermostat requires this voltage.

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

I wouldn't use it to heat my house for sure but as long as you have a window or door cracked a couple inches for ventilation it would be okay to cook a meal or make some coffee in an emergency power outage. Just keep it on low heat to reduce emissions and don't leave unattended or take a nap with it left on, you may not wake up. ;-)

I run my heater all the time. It's also possible to use a thermostat with these heaters.
