I have this comforter and I live in Chicago, and it's perfect for me. I currently have the heat off in my room because this comforter is perfect to get warm and toasty under.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

I use it in a 12x 16 ft basement workroom and the temp goes up about a degree an hour--about the same as the small kerosene heater I used to use there. But that room never gets colder than about 56 degrees and I work comfortably at about 62-64. I like it but I feel I have very specific needs.

I used mine all winter long in the basement here in central il. Havent had any issues and the thing works great! Ive unplugged it a few times but for the most part it runs 24/7. I know for sure it ran alright around 50°f maybe lower.

It is not insulated for very cold weather. there are dual flaps, but they do let the cold in. Not sure about snow as ours is under a covered porch.

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.

Boy, that is cold. It is a tough question since I did not buy the blanket for my bed which has a quilt and a plush throw and I keep my thermostat at 62 degrees at night. My area can get down to freezing in Nov, Dec and Jan. So, I would say if your house gets colder than mine, it might take two of these blankets or blanket and quilt (or maybe a comforter). Sorry, I could not give a definite answer.

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

We live in Florida so it's perfect to heat up a room your in. Way cheaper than my electric bill if I ran the heat. P.S. it does get cold here...

I have a 20 X 20 basement room that is freezing. When I turn it on, the heater reads that it is 55 degrees in the room. If I turn it on at 6 am, the room is comfortable (maybe 74) by 8:30. I think it does a very good job. My parents have one that they use to heat their family which is maybe 30 X 20. I really like it.

We have had this unit on back porch in middle Georgia since late February. There have been perhaps 10 nights where the temperature dropped below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We have recognized no problems but we have had few occasions when callers were at the door during the hours of such coldness.

The cold I can speak too, but the snow only to a certain degree... The unit has managed fine in sub zero temps, and due to the completely insane weather in the NE this winter it has managed well during temperature swings of 40+ degrees on a day to day basis.We've only gotten a maximum of about 6 to 8 inches of snow and its handled that fine. The slope of the lid helps a bit as well. Not sure about 2 feet...

Probably. It's strictly mechanical, no fancy electronics. If it gets below freezing, not sure. Mine is in our (unheated) garage. But I live in LA so it never gets super cold. Love this thing. So much easier to adjust times than the digital version.

No, I have a thermostat hooked in-line, so it doesn't run below 60 deg. I don't want to be cooling the space in the winter, I want the opposite, so the house stays warmer. This is an awesome unit and works really well.

I suppose that would depend on what you have on under it. I live in East Tennessee, and the coat is actually too warm for our normal winter days. But, with our high humidity and wind, I would have to have on long underwear, a heavy shirt, tee shirt, and perhaps insulated overalls, and then the coat would be great. But to tell you for sure, I cannot. We stay between 20 and 50 most of the winter.

I would say no with normally insulated house. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet this fan is. My only disappointment is that I didn't buy a larger size. My shop is 16x20 and this fan has a hard time keeping up with a thermostat set at 85 degrees.

We use it in a basement guest room that is 11x24 (265 sq. feet), and with the door closed, our regular guests say it makes the room toasty for them and baby. Otherwise, in winter that room is about 60 degrees.
