I live in Maine, w/ 650 sq ft of living space. Do you feel this heater will maintain 65*? Does the fan stay on, even when the heat isn't on?

I live in upstate ny in a mobile home about 1000 sq ft-this heater with a little propane heater keeps our home comfortable even at 10 degrees outside-the fan only runs when the heater is working and for a couple minutes after heater shuts down-it does not run all the time-I don't know how cold it gets there in maine where u are but I think this heater might do it

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

I use it on a 1200 sq ft home and works great. I have to empty once a day. It does exhaust alot of warm air. It should be placed away from HVAC thermostat. I read alot about the unit running for a year or so and quitting. All this probably is is a dirty coil, mine quit after about 1 1/2 years. I took it apart, cleaned the coil and was back up and running great.

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

Yes it is, quite efficient. I keep it on the low setting about half way on the thermostat and it heats up my bedroom quite nicely. It's a very large bedroom as well. We have two of these heaters and our electric bill doesn't go up too much. We use these to save on heating oil, which is way too expensive.

Definitely ! I use one just like this in my small livingroom that has a wood floor, and on the 800 watt setting it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the temperatures drop down in the 20's. It will keep the temperature at about 66 to 67 degrees which is just fine for me :) It beats the high electricity bills I get if I were to use the walls heaters my home came with ! Just make sure you set it out in the open so it can work properly, and not right up close to you ! If I need a little extra up close heat I just use my heated electric throw/blanket. When your on a fixed income, this heater will take care of you ! Definitely !

I have mine sitting in front of me but about 10 feet away. It is strong enough that I get warmth, but don't feel a big breeze. It is a mighty little heater, and I think you would like it. The room I have it in is about 12 x 15 and it heats it up nicely even at the medium settings. So it will heat up a bathroom nicely I think. it heats the whole room, not just the ceiling..hahaha...

My heater has been great so far. I've owned it for about a year and use it to heat my family room (20 x 13 ft). It keeps the room quite comfortable, but don't know how much energy it actual uses---just know that I rarely have to turn on my house heater which saves money.

I have in a room in the garage that is 8x20ft and no problem in getting this room to 70F, takes about 10 minutes and stays there until I shut it off. Have seen other comments about this heater for room sizes up to 200 sq ft.

Not sure if just the fan is on. It's probably very low, I would guess 50-75 watts. This heater is great, I put it on the low heat setting, and keep it next to me when it's cold outside. This way, I can turn down my house heat and save tons of money. I would estimate that on the low heat setting, using this heater every-night, my electric bill only goes up another $15

Ours, ceiling mounted, runs quite warm. I second the recommendation to use standoffs to increase airflow around the unit. I suspect that will help it last longer.

I bought one I'm happy with it however it is not made for the only heat in the room it heats roughly our livening room and kitchen and the size is 14x30 feet and that's a good 75 degrees F and on cold nights it gets the house down to 72-70 degrees F

This is a VERY good heater. I am using it a 400 square foot garage it heats very well regardless of the temperature outside very efficiently . That said I know it will heat the area that you will be using it in. However the fan that is on this heater does not produce a large air flow. It is basically designed to move the heat away from the heater with very little air flow. What I would recommend is to buy a few small floor fans to move the air throughout the cabin. I am not sure there is a heater on the market that would provide enough air flow to provide the cabin with uniform heat

Mine has been installed in my attic for about a year and a half. I leave it on for weeks at a time when the humidity is up. It's had several months of continuous operation so far summer and winter. Manual says mounting location not to exceed 140f. Max daytime temps here are mid 100's. No issues with fan and still quiet as ever.

The exhaust fan is very quiet. The heater portion isn't as quiet but it does feel good when the rest of the house is 62 degrees.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

I only used the heater for one night to take the chill off, and it did, our unit, the 12000 btu, cooled a 2100 sq ft house on a low setting of 70 and the house was at 67 degrees. I think it will do it in that small space, I am very well insulated with spray foam and 10 in thick walls, we do not have a furnace, in Iowa/Nebraska!
