Can this unit be set to keep a room at 50 degrees? I have a mudroom that doesn't need to be fully heated.

I really don't think so. I think the temperature starts @ 60 degrees and then goes to 65 then 70 then 75 to 80.

The temperature is incremental, not calibrated. That said, the lowest setting is just enough to take the chill off without building up heat (it cycles nicely)

It is a low medium high type of deal. I think it will go down to 50 degrees just fine but you'll have to figure out where the thermostat had to be set. With dial set on low ours keeps the temp at about 60 wish. Its not very precise.

The thermostat dial isn't marked in degrees, and I think the temp setting will be dependent on the area you wish to heat. If I set the dial to the 10 o'clock position (7 o'clock is OFF), my 22x22 garage will heat up to, and stay around 70 degrees. A larger area, or a lower setting would give you the 50 you want.

Not sure... but the beauty of this machine is its timer: set and forget it! Your space will be as warm as you want it as long as your ceilings aren't higher than the standard 8 feet. Hope that helps!

I have two of these units and I can tell you they will hold the temperature within 1-2 degrees most of the time. You will get fluctuations of 3-4 degrees if you drop the temp below 50. Keep 3-4" of space behind and on the sides. I find if I press it right against the wall or furniture it causes the temperature to rise. It definitely needs buffer space around all the air vents in order to work property.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.

I live in the desert southwest and keep mine in the corner near a sliding glass door and a big window and mine stays at 54 all the time (I did not set the cooler compartment colder because I have all reds), but I keep my house at 76 degrees. Given the light mine gets during the day I would think you will keep the temperature you want in an 80 degree house

I don't believe you would have any problem with this unit at that temperature due to the auto- defrost feature. However, I would not feel comfortable running it for very long at these temperatures. Also when the temp is that low, you usually don't need a dehumidifier. I don't know. Maybe it is different in a garage.

This model doesn't and I doubt any of them do. The digital thermostat can be set to the temperature you wish, but it is not programmable. It has a high setting to get a room warm fast, a middle setting to maintain temperature and a low setting that doesn't let the room drop below 68 degrees. Use the high setting to get up to temperature and then leave it on the low setting (which costs next to nothing to run) all day or all night. When you come into the room, if it's not warm enough, you get go up to the middle setting to whatever you like. Run this way, you can maintain a good temperature all the time without spending much for power. I don't live in a cold climate, but while it was dropping down into the low 40s at night, I would run the heater as I describe with no problem. I can't vouch for really cold areas, however.

I have two of these heaters, one in a room about 12x12 feet, one in a room about 12x20 feet. Both rooms can be maintained at 75 degrees with the heater control set at half of maximum or less when the outside temperature is as low as 25 degrees. Lower outside temperatures or a house with poorer insulation than mine would require higher settings, but there appears to be more capacity available.

Yes. I use mine to keep my curing room at 45 to 55 degrees. Your a/c should bring the temp down to about 60 to 62. You should have no trouble to regulate it between 55 and 58. Hope this helps. Mdg

Yes. You will eventually be able to correlate the number settings with an actual temperature. The size of your heated enclosure will create the variation of setting, which is why they didn't put a temperature in the settings knob. For example, our 10'x16' shed heats to about 76°F when heater is set to1.5, and about 65°F when set just under the 1 marker on the knob.

Yes. You can set the exact temperature you want to keep in the room you are in. I keep mine at 62 degrees for example, and when the room gets to that thermo temp. It stops. When it gets cool again due to temperature dropping it will start again. You can also have it point in just one direction, or oscillate. Whether high or low heat though it is not a burning type of heat, where you have to worry about children or animals walking by, it is a gentle heat.

You cannot set the temperature higher than 66 degrees. Also, it will not heat, only cool, so if your room's temperature ever gets below 66 degrees, it will not warm your items to keep them at 66.

I don't believe so. This unit's heat comes slow and steady. A 10x12 room would heat in an hour. I don't believe the heated air would spread. I think it would dissipate.

Depends on where you live. If you live in a cool climate where the water temperature comes into your house below 50 degree's I would say no. This unit is not meant for whole house use, only for bathrooms or kitchens by themselves.
