Is it working properly? So, how do you heat the room without setting it to 90?

Hmm. Aren't you supposed to put a fanless convection heater in front of the coldest area. A sliding door should be ideal. That's how the heat spreads around because of the differential in temps. That's the point of getting a fanless convection, I thought.

So far, it seems to stay at 400 which is where I set it. The other day, I raised the heat & when I turned it on the next time, it went right back to 400.

113 degrees is the lowest I could set. The temperature indicator may start at 78, since that is what it indicates the temp is at power on, and I think the room is colder.

Try turning the. Thermostat setting higher so it's higher than the room temp.

I purchased this vornado whole room heater, I am very satisfied with this unit. It heats up room immediately. It heats the room but is not hot touch, so it is not harmful around kids or pets. the warmth goes round the room, it seems to circulate, doesn't blow heat in just 1 direction. unit is stationary doesn't turn or oscillate, its more like a fan. I got this for my upstairs 3 rooms, I turn it on for about an hour and turn it off for the rest of the night and use my other space heater that is in the middle room for the rest of the night. I would highly recommend to anyone. I tried about 4 other units until I got this. we have snow here and the temperature is and has been between 7degrees to25.

Yes, you can set it on "heat" and set a minimum set point for the fan to come on. I use the low speed for winter heat. I have the fan come on when the duct temp reaches 68 degrees. It runs until the furnace cycles off and the duct cools down below 68 degrees. Then it automatically shuts off. In the summer I set it on the cool mode and have the fan on high. I also use a different set point for that. The sensor works well. My only MAJOR complaint is that the summer fan is tooooooooo small. With all this technology the summer fan dosen't have enough guts to cool my bedroom. The winter is good, the summer leaves me complaining. So, it all depends on what season you really want this for the most. Good luck. Yes, you can set it on "heat" and set a minimum set point for the fan to come on. I use the low speed for winter heat.

the only thing in the operation manual about heat...is unit will not work when temp is above 77

Nancy-Mind you I am not an engineer, just a consumer; it means that the heat flow is regulared electronically to provide warmth in incriments of two degrees ( I think that 2 degrees is right) and that the unit measures the termperature in the room and then modulates only exactly as much energy (gas) as it needs to keep that room at the temperature you set. So it uses very little energy to do it's job and keeps it at a great level vs blasting you with a lot of hot air to bring the temperature up. Mine has been in for a year and it is wonderful. I did pay a professional to install it in NJ in a 20 by 17 by 9 ft high space with two windows and a door. It is perfectly toasty, my gas bill is very low (due to the modulation) and the unit is so quiet. I previously had electric base board heat that was making it too hot or cold and the electic bill was unreal. This Rinnai also warms the room up in a matter of minutes from a cold start. One of the best things we ever did. I was skeptical of ordering a furnace on amazon, but it worked great, all parts arrived intact. The unit has very good instructions should you want to try install yourself. The direct vent is also the only way to go in my opinion. My room is insulated but overly so for this area of NJ. I paid about 450.00 to have the unit installed. I rarely, never write reviews but am so pleased with the success of this Rinnai that I am happy to answer your question. I hope this infomation is hellpful.

I would contact Heidi, the owner, about that. It does not sound like it is functioning properly. Is it fully heated up before you use it?

I use heat level 10 and it's toasty . . . considering the unit goes from warm -1 to high - 18 I think you would be satisfied.

You can use the up arrow to "set" the temperature higher, but the heater may not be capable of achieving a higher temperature in your room. It sounds like your space is too cold and/or too big for the heater to handle it. If it runs constantly and never shows a temperature higher than 58, then that is probably as high as it can manage.

It isn't going to completely heat your room up, I would suggest a larger model with more power. Or get two. I have the same size room and have Spanish tile, so it gets cold! I have 2 heaters, which makes it warmer with 2.

On at 85 yes but mine seems to go off at about 80, not sure where you saw the off at 65. I have my office in an attic room so I can hear when this fan goes on/off. I have found no way to adjust the on/off temp.

This design looks really interesting, BUT how do you CONTROL the temperature with these units?While it says it's designed to heat a 10 x 12 room (120 square feet), it doesn't say how warm that would be. And since there is NO THERMOSTAT, only a manual ON/OFF switch, there doesn't seem to be a way to control the temperature. What happens if the room is smaller?I mean, some people are fine at 64-66 degrees. Some people like it warmer. And of course the temperature range outside would affect how warm it is inside. But all this unit offers is ON or OFF.Great idea, in theory, but in practice? How do you market a heater with no way to increase or decrease the temperature besides on or off???

Your question is very vague but here goes, The Man Control works like this, when you first turn the unit on you set it to high to heat the room to the temp youlike in the room then you rotate it counter clockwise to get the temp you want it well turn off most of the time at about a quarter of the way on, but your supposeto set it at what temp like when you back it down! Hope that works!

Yes this well heat it fine. It does our living room 22x11 fine in Pa. the only thing to concider on this model is. It does not have a thermistat. Just 600 watt and 1500. Worst is you can only use it at either. where my other one you can use both 600 or 900 or together for 1500 watt. My other unit made by the same company also has a thermistat which can be adjusted for any of the settings. think it is 30 dollars more than this one and it is worth th extra dollrs to get it.

From what I've been seeing, these heaters hit the desired temp and then shut off. There's no need for the heater to work REALLY hard unless you want 89 degrees and the room temp is 65 degrees. That great of a temp disparity might lead to the heater always being on and still not reach the desired temp.
