This is NOT oil. It runs with electricity (some type panel like ceramic and has no fan. I have an oil one also by the same manufacturer. They both are great though... This particular model can be mounted on a wall which was one reason I purchased it.I plan to eventually mount it on a wall, but have not done so at this time. I do LIKE the heater very much and am pleased with the way it radiates the heat. I have only be using it on low in an area with a high ceiling that is probably 500 sq ft. It helps to warn the room to about 60-62. If I want it warmer I turn on another small heater. I would definitely recommend it, although I do not really know yet how it will impact the electric bill.

No, it's radiant heat. It can be wall mounted. I love it and think you will too. It will have a small smell at first use.

It's an all metal heater, oil-filled and it works very well. Seems to be very heavy duty for it's price range.

No, mine was not. Like most heaters it's size, it has a two prong, ungrounded plug.

Yes, I plug into normal house outlet!! Bought this to replace older, smaller model. Performs well but reuires a longer initial warm up to assure oil maintains temp as well as smaller unit.

Yes. The heating element is a double u shaped handle that is directly attached to the black thing at the back with the control panel. You slide it into the drum and then fill it to the marked line with oil.

This isn't infrared. However I do use this one for outdoor frying. The end is submersed in the oil.

I'm trying to remember.....I believe that the temp flashes as it's heating up, and when it's ready it stops flashing. Can't remember if it has a beeper on it or not. But it tells you in some way when the oil is ready

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas.It runs on regular.

SMILE! Mine does that also. Took me 'aback' for just a quick moment, but, then I figured out it was the oil in the heater that is heating up and getting ready to do it's job. I hope it sounds a bit like 'gurgling'?????I hope this answers your questions.

I don't believe this unit has the capacity for your motor oil capacity this will heat 7 quarts of oil nice and warm in about 3 hours at that temperature for me

Yes, I just did. When the motor start making noise you have to take it apart and oil that hub. Overall it's an awesome space heater. Errol Anderson

The unit has a low oil level alert light. It is located just below the on/off switch.

Yes it is. That is how the suction is maintained. Works best if the oil is warm.

This heater uses EITHER propane or natural gas. There are TWO inlets - one for each. It definitely works when the power is out, it has a pilot light and the temperature control is not electrical.

As far as energy efficiency goes this oil-filled heater is the way to go. Just make sure you have the right size for your room. This one is great for a small bathroom.

As per the manual and operating instruction, yes. I have not tested the theory on the oil, but have had the unit shut off due to low water supply (kink in the hose).

negative, it is a hot air machine.I believe oil may short it out, would definitely make a mess
