Does this unit generate heat like the Whispure model?

We have never had a problem with this unit producing heat. And we actually own two of them--one in my son's room and one in my father's studio apartment.Neither of them have generated any noticeable heat but they work like a charm to keep the air clean!

No,the unit I bought does not generate any heat at all. Even when I put my palm on the unit, the machine does not feel warm at all

No, None at all. It sure has helped our dust and breathing problems. Ours is located in the den, with the wood stove.

No there is no heat given off by the unit. The air return is cool and the unit is cool to touch.

Good question. I don't remember reading of this capability in the literature but I went into my den and pulled the plug on the unit, waited for 30 seconds or so, repowered the unit and it cycled on. I highly recommend this unit. It's much quieter and heats better than others. Build quality is better also.

Yes, the unit is cool to touch. It is not like a regular heater. Where the heat comes directly from the unit is not that hot as to burn you like a conventional heater.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

It does have a comoressor that draws approximately 75 watts when running. Thats how it gets to sub zero temperatures.

Yes it does. It also has an indicator light that shows power is applied. At least my copy of this handy pipe heating device has these features.

Hello! It doesn't seem to heat the room at all. As for energy consumption, I am afraid that I don't know. This is a very powerful and relatively quiet unit.

Agree with all previously posted answers. HOWEVER, this model blows heat very unevenly and develops a very hot "hot spot" in the center. I would buy a different model that has more even heat dispersal.

Yes. I like my unit, but find it pulls a lot of power when the heat is on. It hs a vert authentic looking flame.

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

The dehumidifier does put out some heat. Compared to our previous dehumidifier, this one seems much more efficient and therefore producing less heat then expected.

No, just one heating setting. It provides heat on a cool evening to about 10 feet out in front about 2 feet from each side of the unit. Hard to say exact but about 50-70 sq. feet. I do live in Cheyenne Wy. low humidity and often wind or breeze which would factor into this.

Stevie, this is not the unit you want if you need that much control of the heat. It has preset increments, which jump at least 10 degrees each time. Like from 350 to 365, one shining example.

yes it does; for this price it better!I think they all do though. In the "Money Saver" setting, the unit's thermostat kicks off and on and does so very smoothly; the unit will stop until the temperature rises to the desired setting. In the "CooL" setting I think the fan blows continuously. I think all units work this way though some may have different names for the settings. It's a good unit; it is 85 right now with high humidity and the Friedrich, set at 75 is handling it with ease; very cool and comfortable in here as we speak.

have not noticed any heat given off by the unit, it is very quiet and well worth the money

I have had mine for about nine months, so not during summer yet, but run it 24/7 and at speeds well above the minimum in a small room, and have never been able to tell that it is generating significant heat. At least, when I feel the unit itself it always seems to be at room temperature. YMMV of course, that is just my experience. ON THE OTHER HAND, I don't think you are going to cure dust problems running it on low all the time if you have as much dust as I do.

Have not noticed any heat is generated by the unit, the additional air flow more than compensates for any heat generated by the small fan motor.
