I have a 15'x30' bedroom. I am looking to supplement the heating of this room during very cold nights. Will this heater be sufficient to keep the room comfortable, keeping in mind that I have baseboard heat and just want to keep the thermostat low for...

We have forced air heating but our bedroom is on the far side of the house from the furnace. We've been using our Vornado for supplemental heat and it works very well. We turn it on around bedtime to bring the bedroom up to temperature.

We have this heater installed in an open area of our home that is 2 levels (a drop of 2 steps to the lower level) and approx 30 x 40 with an open beamed ceiling. An open hall leads off upper area and there are open doors to other rooms. It takes the chill off the entire 1500 sq foot house, is not very effective in the back 3 rooms of the house, but keeps the upper area where it is installed (30 x 20) very comfortable. I definitely would go bigger if you want it to heat your entire house, but it's great for smaller areas. It is economic to run. We are very happy with it.

This should do well in a small room. The application we used it for was a LARGE room - 30x30 with 10 foot ceilings. It did OK. It kept the temp bearable - around 75 as opposed to 85. We bought this unit knowing that is would be small for the space we were cooling. Our space requires about a 25-30,000 cooling BTU. So this unit should facilitate a small room with no problem.

I would hate to offer you a response. I used this heater in a non heated building and it kept me warm as long as I was in close proximity. You may be better served if you asked the manufacturer.

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.

Just like the other people said, your answer is yes. For me it's not a gigantic heater, I use it for my feet at my desk and it works perfect for that. I guess in a small room it would probably work OK also, just take a bit of time where warming my feet is instant.

I would, yes. I LOVE mine. All I can say is that I used it last night for the firsttime since summer, and had it on low. It really heats up my oversized bedroomvery well and I was toasty warm. I love how it looks and that it doesn't take upmuch space....all in all, I'm VERY pleased with it. I hope that helps. Make sureyou place it on a SOLID surface (like wood) to make sure it doesn't tip over and shut off, and follow the instructions in the little booklet that comes with it.

I have not relied on this to heat a room. It may very well heat a room, but I have not asked it to do this. I have used it more as a "spot" heater. That is, I position it a couple of feet away from where I am sitting, while reading or such, and find it keeps me very comfy. I am very satisfied with this purchase for the use I have described.

since it's only a 400/800 watt heater, it's more of a spot heater. Since your room is 15x20, you should look into a more powerful heater that puts out 1500 watts in one of its settings. I actually don't use the oscillating feature because it's not that powerful and usually use the 800 setting for just a couple of hours. Overnight, I switch it to the 400 watt setting.I think those Living Pure infrared heaters would heat up your 15x20 room easily and those heaters radiate the heat everywhere whereas this heater is more of a directional, spot heater

Have owned heater for about 3 weeks. My bedroom does not heat up well in the winter and I use the heater to knock the chill off the room. I Set it for 68F and leave it on. It keeps the room nice and warm, it's quiet and looks great. So far I consider it a good buy!

Oh yes, but I don't think you want to keep it on long or it will really get very hot in room. When I turn mine on at lowest setting for around 5-7 minutes the room-about 400 sq ft- is well warm enough to turn it off. Also the first setting-didn't know this-cools, then second and third heat. Will work for me quite well living in hot climate but with cold Winters. Very pleased with it. One thing also is it MUST be on flat surface, not carpet or it goes off. They call it a safety feature and it's on the bottom if not connected to hard surface constantly, goes off. So I set it bit higher on wooden stool and works fine. But oh does it heat fast

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 forgot to mention my ceiling height, it is approximately the same as your ceiling height. My room has one wall of windows (drafty-winter).I honestly really believe this heater will be perfect. I turn the heater on high close the doors, in 15 minutes it is warm. I do have to turn the heater down, gets very warm/hot. It is very light weight, thin. This is the first heater I tried, no experience with others. Jeannine, I do hope this info helps. I am very happy. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

I use it to keep my garage warm and even with the brutal winter that we've had so far, I've had no problem keeping comfortable. My intent was not to have the garage as warm as my house, but to keep it comfortable to work in. If you want this to heat a family room, then you'll have absolutely no problem doing it with this unit. I have the 3000 watt heater running on 240V. If you can, you might consider a smaller (1500W) unit with a supplementary baseboard heater. Likely a bit more economical to run. But to answer your question - yes, this unit will do a nice job for your family room. Hope this helps.

Most definitely. Tops out at 81 degrees, but was a godsend for me and the family when our pipe froze, rending our furnace useless for a few hours. This kept us from freezing and even helped heat a 550 sq ft room up to about 64 degrees from 59 F. It'd do far more in a normal sized bedroom.

VERY poor insulation is only one factor in understanding room "heat loss" so it is difficult to answer your question specifically. Any heater would be used to compensate for this "heat loss" and provide "enough heat". Given the size of the room, I would think you will see some limited improvement in comfort but it would be difficult for this OR any 1500W heater to sustain a high level of heat comfort IF you have significant heat loss.

It is very safe, cheaper to run than a baseboard or coil heater. The only draw back is it takes about 30 minutes+ to heat a normal master bedroom.
