I have several questions. ? Anyone know the maximum amount watts it takes to run the fan on this unit ? Does this unit have glass on the front ?

No glass and the fan is small but I can't find the watts w/o pulling it off the wall.

There is no glass on the front, just a screen and i do not know the watts required to run the fan unit, my apologies. Cb

I just bought another blue flame 30,000 but unit. No it doesn't have glass doors it is open with a metal grate on the front. The fan is built in to the back, small however just enough to move the air around.

I can't speak to the wattage use. But yes there is a glass plate in front of the burner mounted on a slant

Hi, I am not sure what the wattage is, but I can tell you this unit is very energy efficient. I used to use a window fan for noise, and this does not draw as much power. It is small. I feel it is smaller than most units. However, don't let the size fool you. It is great. The sound is incredible. There are many different sound options. I have been sleeping great since using this. I hope I was able to answer your question.

As for the dimensions I don't have those; however, the unit's fan does run continuously when it's in the heat mode, but cycles when in the AC mode. This makes no sense to me, but that's how it works. It's annoying as a heater because the element kicks in and warm air blows out, then the heater shuts off and cold air blows out. Stupid.

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

The specs are not clear on this question. As far as I know, the unit does not contain a fan, and it gets only slightly warm to the touch under light load (one multifunction printer, one high-power laptop), so it is probably using "a few watts"... i.e., not much. However, the unit is absolutely covered with cooling slots, so perhaps under heavy load it will use more. My guess would be less than 10% overhead.

Don't know the wattage but it's plenty bright... Uses a small light bulb about the size of your thumb nail. I'm sure you can put the light on a dimmer switch or change it for any wattage you would like. Have had this fan a couple of years and it still looks and runs great!

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

Not really sure. I run mine on a generator at an off grid cabin. The 3000 watt generator runs hard to keep up. These units not as efficient as a window unit. The cabin is 450 square feet and on hot (98 deg. Plus) days it runs hard and can't get it below 77 deg. That said I don't think they are efficient.

If must have something to make the heat come out front of unit. You cannot see a fan or blades behind a black screen front. Hope that helps.

about 1300 watts on fan speed 1 and about 1450 watts on fan speed 10 - I find 3 gives a warmer feeling heat flow than 1 for some reason. anything higher than 5 is just for breeze cooling - too much air movement for heatingOn start-up it briefly spikes to around 1525 for a few seconds -as measured with a Kill-o-WattP3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure, other than it runs off 110, does a very good job keeping the room cooled, it has energy saver setting on it. Has auto idle, shuts off when it reaches set temperature, very quiet operating. Phone number for the company is, 1-800-944-9044 (6,000 BTU compact window mount) Hope this helps a little.

No, it does not. The fan runs continuously. Because of this, it should have it's Energy Star rating removed in my opinion.

Yes there is a glass front on this unit, it's a great unit and truly has natural fireplace feel and look, the flames are awesome too, I Love it

I have not and that is with New England weather. It runs quite a bit. I will say that I have it configured for 750 watts because it is in a small bathroom. Obviously it would be different if it was set at max wattage.

The glass is cream that fades into a burnt umber around the edges. It is a great looking fan, however it does not throw much light, so expect to have surrounding lamps or another light source:)

I think it is 300 watts, but I disagree with the previous replier, the unit does put out heat, the air is quite hot (uncomfortable to leave hand next to unit) but the amount of air put out is small. The other problem is I don't see a better alternative. Not sure where to spend my money somewhere else. It is much better than nothing. I use it for my full size car in northern Florida.

No, it does not run fan only. Since it has a thermostat, in a small room, if it reached the set temperature, it would shut off. It wouldmost likely, start back up if the temp dropped below the set temp.We use it in our living room, and have never had it set high enough, for that to happen,it has not been needed.
