Is this heater safe to use in a Bathroom?

That is where we use ours and have not had any problems but we do use a gfi with it.

I wouldn't recommend it. Or around toddlers unsupervised. But I guess the worst it would do is short out when exposed to too much humidity.

You should be able to use it in a bathroom as long as you have proper ventilation in the bathroom. If you don't I would recommend installing a Panasonic fan.

The heater has a GFI switch and is really made for a bathroom I believe. I have use the unit hanging and free standing.

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?

I don't recall it getting that hot. We use it in our bathroom which is about 6 X 8 and I never noticed it getting that hot. I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about as far a safety. I just know it has worked very well for us the past 2 winters and we have enjoyed it. We will be using it here very soon and if I do notice anything I will let you know.

I have it in three bathrooms on three fans. Over a year now with one bathroom fan getting daily use. My certified electrician installed (I purchased) and he made no comments about potential problems. It works well for me!

Yes, I used the heater in my bathroom. You must keep it 3 ft. from any object.

I've used it just outside my bathroom and in my bedroom to heat up the rooms just for awhile because the dry heated air warms the rooms just right. Normally I use the heater in my small living room or kitchen so I don't have to run the house heater for the whole house. It is a great space heater you can adjust the temperature as high or low as you like.

It is as safe as any heater is in a bathroom. It has a safety tip over switch. It might be more heater than you would need however. We use it in our living room, and it works great!

Yes, this heater is designed to be safe for hot, steamy areas like bathrooms (and it's about the only heater rated safe for bathrooms). If you want more info, search for "ACLI" on the internet, because the ACLI plug is what makes the heater safer.

I do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes

I've used this in a small bathroom and it works well. It may make the bathroom feel quite warm. I had a leak in my bathroom that I was trying to keep dry until I could get it repaired.

This is the best standalone heater I ever owned, that said: Bathroom heating is always tricky in order to be safe. Water is such a good conductor and in the bathroom it is always a factor. This unit is a stand up floor heater and I wouldn't put any electrical appliance on the bath floor or in proximity to the bath or shower (even with GFI's). There are wall mounted devices specifically designed for the Bathroom available.

These heaters are not very safe in general. I would not leave it for too long without attention. They consume a lot of energy and would be costly to leave overnight. It does have a ball mechanism so if it falls it stops working. It also turns off when the temp. goes up or you seat too close. However, I believe only oil heater would be safe to leave for the night. Less energy, heats well, safe for kids.

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.
