Does this Duraflame heater stay on the entire time? or if the room reaches a certain heat, does it shut off then start up again?

I'm sorry I can't answer your question because I bought the heater in the spring and haven't used it yet.

It maintains temperature. The fan runs all the time. Heating coils go off and on as needed to maintain temperature. Fairly quiet, never gets hot, and the room stays comfortable.

It shuts off then start up again when it reaches a certain heat, but you can't read the actual temperature.

There is a thermostat that you set and it will go off when the temperature is reached. It's a good product

So far the heater does not turn off by itself. There is a red light the glows to show power is on.

It will immediately turn off. It will even turn off it I touch my surge protector that it's plugged into. I love my heater.

Yes, we leave it on all the time! Absolutely no negative issues with this heater! Five star all around!

You need to make sure you shut it off at the switch. It seems to cycle the heater briefly on an off until the switch is off.

This is the best portable electric heater I have ever had. It's quiet but has a fan for circulation and an optional oscillator to assure heating is not always focused on a single point. The thermostat is programmable and will shut the heater off when the ambient temp. gets to the setting. When that occurs the fan shuts off and when the temp. falls again, the unit restarts automatically. This process does not occur without changes in decibels.

It operates like a furnace with temperature control. It turns itself on and off as needed, depending on the room. I have not got it out yet this year, but I don't remember it turning itself off after 8 hours. that would have been a problem for me. I really do like the heater a lot. I hope it performs well this winter like it did last year. Good luck.

I run it for weeks, it has a temp control so when my room gets to that temp it will turn off so it is not on all the time. Great Heater

Yes, as a matter of fact it does. My unit, which runs very quietly by the way, will run for awhile and then the heating element shuts itself off (however the flames stay on). After awhile the heating element comes back on. There are two knob located inside the glass front door. The one on the left controls the heat, the one on the right controls the flame effect's brightness. I've owned five electric stoves in the past 10 years (four are still running) and this red Duraflame is my second favorite. I really like the color and size.

Yes, the fan runs until it reaches your selected level, then it cuts off and will later come back on when the temp drops. We love the heater. Good luck

My son gave me one of these that he wasn't using, and I just set it up. Jon Shops is correct. When the heat part shuts off, so does the fan. This is a heater only; if you want something to cool the room, this is not it.

It only makes that noise when you start the heater, after 10 minutes it will became silent as long as it stays on. I have 5 those heaters for 4 years - never had any problems.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but it has a thermostat and if its set at 70 it shuts off at 70. If the room cools below 70, it cuts on again...

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.

You can run the heater on either "Hi" or "Low" and it will not shut off on those setting. If you choose to use one of the "Hi and a temp" or "Low and a temp" it will shut off when the heater reaches that temp, but will start up again just like your furnace. Hope that helps.

Contrary to what others have answered, the fan runs continuously on the 2 units I own. It doesn't matter if the heat bulbs are on or not, and it doesn't matter if the room has warmed up to the selected temperature. I'm not sure if mine are defective or if mine are older models without a fan shut off feature. I bought them from family farm and home in late 2013. The continuously running fan is one feature that I do NOT like about these units.
