what is the range for thermostat setting? Is it merely hi-med-low or in degrees? I need something that can be set to as low as 50 degrees F - thanks!

The thermostat is a variable setting. It is marked hi, med, lo, and off. you can set the knob anywhere in between. It does not have temperature setting read out dial. because the thermostat is connected to the heater it is not real efficient, That is you don't have an accurate temperature setting. It is similar to most portable heaters. If you are thinking of using the heater in a living area you may want to consider the fan noise. This heater is made in china, and their motors are quite a bit louder than motors made in USA. I purchased the heater for my mother in law and she can't hear her tv when the fan is going. Hope this helps. The thermostat is a variable setting. It is marked hi, med, lo, and off. you can set the knob anywhere in between.

The dial moves freely -- not clicking into specific areas such low to high. However, there are no degree indicators or readings. You would have to get familiar with the temps and perhaps have a separate indicator device in the room to read. When the outside temp falls below 35 degrees in my location my 14 X 30 foot room (with high ceilings) stays comfortable with the heater set on high. When the outside temp is warmer we just turn it back. Hope this information is helpful.

The setting is hi med and low. As for as the degree pf each setting I do not know. We never have ours over the lo. Just a tad over and it gets too hot. Room temp not machine.

Low medium and High is all there is, I use mine in a basement, I turn it until it just clicks on, And leave it. No idea what the actual temperature is.

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.

Very rough spring type thermostat. I was thinking about asking an ac/heat man if you couldn't simply use and old wall mount mercury themostat on it, but I haven't gotten around to it. It will warm a living area fast, but then finding a comfort zone, not so great.

I haven't had any luck at all with the thermostst. Instructions say to turn knob fully clockwise then back to the setting you want. Mine is either on or off. It has never cycled on and off. There are no settings at all, just a knob.

My unit can be set as low as 59 degrees F. My home thermostat reads 61 degrees when put at this setting, so I think the calibration is off a bit on the unit. We use this unit to heat a large LR area (kept at 60 degrees overnight) and it does this quite well at only the moderate (4 element) heat setting. During the winter we keep our house at a cool 64 - 65 degrees when occupied. Seems cool, but if properly dressed, it makes a big difference in the heating bills...down 30% over prior winter heating costs for same month when we used to keep the house around 68 degrees constantly using our heat pump.

You can only set the temperature in 5 degree increments starting at 60 degrees, then 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 and MAX, whatever that is. It is preset to only allow you to choose those numbers. You can't set it for 63 degrees or 71 degrees or something like that. I don't understand these other responses because they don't really answer the question. I have owned the heater for 2 years so I know....

Does it just stop completely or go into a cooler hibernation mode ? Once my unit hits the room temp that it is set on, it seems to shut off. But it actually goes to a cooler temp and a low fan speed. I first thought it shut off but it just adjusts to the room temp being met. If you turn the thermostat up, it goes back into high heat or low heat, what ever you had the temp set on.

The information for this thermostat states "50 degrees" But I would unplug the cord if the temperatures were going to stay above 40.....just to save on the electric bill!

Short answer is NO. The lowest setting is 45 degrees. If you have to have a 33 degree control, you can buy an industrial type thermostat.

Mine seems to keep it about 10 degrees above my room temp. It's not like you can set it at a temperature and it'll adjust itself up or down accordingly.

I am in FL and can not access my manual, but I have mine set at 48 and it will go lower. Can not recall if an external thermostat can be used.

I had to ask the manufacturer the same question and the reply was "yes, on at 32* and off at approximately 45*" It is interesting that in none of their literature is this mentioned. I'd think that might be something a potential buyer might like to know. I have not verified the temperature range but this is what I was told by the manufacturer. So far however the heater is doing it's job very nicely.

Two settings on this model. Low and high. I returned mine, because I need more flexibility in the temperatures for cooking. A different model has the range of temperatures that I needed.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

You can change the range of temperature by adjusting the thermostat but just in my OWN mind I think it may be more trouble than older folks want to deal with or think about. If you show them before using though - perhaps it will just stay where you set it. I know my own mother was confused.

There are many choices that have settings for that temperature. TVH 500 is my favorite. Used the TVH 600 but much happier with the 500! Mine are usually set at 65 during the winter. Keeps the room cool and even though it is winter I am a person that likes rooms cooler than most.

automatically sets at 85 for cool and 62 for heat. you can program it much lower or higher. I did not check to see how far it goes but pretty much like a thermostat on central unit

The temp range is maybe 70F-140F degrees on the thermostat ... There is NO an on/off setting. This unit is in my attic and I haven't been up there in a while-- so those temp ranges are just a guess. Thanks!

There is a thermostat but I'm not sure if it will get to that range. Mine stays around 38-40 on the coldest setting. It may get close to 50 if turned all the way up but that's just a guess.

good evening,the set point temperature range is 45F TO 90F which 45f would be the lowest set temp.i hope this help love the unit work really well.
