how big of a room does it heat?

I have used this heater to heat a small living room and kitchen but it uses a ton of electricity as any electric heater will. The kitchen and living room is probably half of the total 1024 sq ft of the house. I used it for a few months in southern Maryland during the winter, my electric bill was usually $40 more just because of that heater. I haven't used it since last year but do recall when it cycled on, the lights would dim/flicker. It has 2 modes 900 watt and 1500 watt and I only used it on the 900 watt mode. I would guess it may ok for a bedroom only, as long as it was closed off.

It depends on the temperature outdoors. I used this in my office/studio which is about 20x20 and it was fine unless the outside temperatures dropped below 25 F. I generally prefer cool rooms, so never had the temperature set above 68 F.

I use it to heat an office approximately 13 ft by 13 ft. It works great for that small space, but you would probably have to turn the temp up pretty high if you were trying to heat a much larger room or one with very high ceilings.

Spark,We have been very happy with this unit. We have 3 now. It should heat room that size quite easily. Set the heater to the temperature you want, don't just set it on high because it will continue to heat the room, and it will make your room too hot...

I would look for something larger. That is about the size of the room I use it in and it really just warms the space around the heater - where I sit.

The heater works great. The room we have it in is about 300 square feet. It heats that room nicely and then some.

It heats my den which is 15 foot by 21 foot. Use central heat for the start and the duraflame does the rest

It does a pretty good job of heating our large living room which is probably 500 sq feet and we have 11-foot ceilings, so I imagine it would do fine with heating 1000 sq feet of a room with the usual 8-foot ceilings.

I have it in a big basement room (16 X 31 feet) and it heats it well, even in winter. Ken

I don't know the maximum room size for this heater. From my experience during this winter, one heater nicely heats a well insulated 200 sq.ft. room in Albuquerque, NM. I have two of these heaters in this room and no other heat. This has been more than necessary, but the units don't run very long and they are surprisingly quiet. I have been happy with these heaters.

It will not heat a regular sized room. I use it in my living room near where I sit on sofa. It takes chill out of that space.I may be just fine for a small child's room. You set how hot you want it, it turns off when it reaches that heat level.

Hi Elizabeth; I have one Lasko 5840 heater in my master bedroom. The room size is 18' x 22'. It does just fine in that room. I also have one in our family room. The size of that room is 22' x 13'. It does fine in that room also. It does not heat really fast, but does OK. It's the best portable heater I have owned so far. It's very quite for it's size and does not smell. Hope this helps. Larry

Usually a bedroom or a closed off room... 12x12 which is what we use it for. It is a space heater for a reason. open space[2 ajoining rooms] won't cut it. it will run forever we also use a thermostat that we plug the unit into and we have it set at 69 degrees to kick on/off at night.

Not sure on BTU's but it is rated to heat a 1800 square foot room. We have it in a 400 square foot room and it keeps it pretty toasty. The look of the fire is pretty cool too.

700-800 sq. ft. Heats that size area very well on low. Can't turn higher cause it gets too warm in the room !

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.

It heats up a small bedroom but not more. Maybe 200 sq feet. I use mine to the side of my bed to take off the chill. It's very pretty at night and warm next to the bed in the dark.

definitely a master suite size room. i live in a studio garage apartment (basically a 2 car garage) and it heats the place nicely.
