I understand this heater regulates voltage and runs constant but does it run fan only when the room gets too warm or does it always produce heat?

No, it does not run fan only. Since it has a thermostat, in a small room, if it reached the set temperature, it would shut off. It wouldmost likely, start back up if the temp dropped below the set temp.We use it in our living room, and have never had it set high enough, for that to happen,it has not been needed.

This heater does not cool a room. It is strictly a heater only. It does have a fan setting which circulates the air in a room but it does not cool it.

Yes...the heater has a fan with two settings...it actually heats up a small room pretty quickly....just know that the fan is somewhat loud.

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.

The fan works off of heat. The hotter it gets the faster it spins. If your heater does not get hot enough it will not spin

Fan runs all the time. Thermostat regulates temperature in heating and AC mode.

This heater has a thermostat built in that you can adjust to your desired temp. once turned on it will turn on if needed and not run when not needed. It also has a built in auto-shut off in the unit gets too hot, fire prevention device. Works and heats very well.

No idea. But it is not a heater. Just a small fan. Like a small room fan. Not much power

Hi - the heater has it's own thermostat that measures the room temperature and cycles the heater on/off, it is adjustable. if you set the heater T-stat at a high setting (ie. 90 deg.) the heater will turn on when power is sent to it. I us the heater in my un-insulated two bay garage (28' x 24' x 11' ceiling) and it heats it up to a comfortable working temperature quickly ( 20 - 30 min.) depending how cold it is to start. regards - WH

No this is how the heater operates. Mine does the same thing.1) If set at 72F, it will heat up to 73, then stop. (It's still powered on, just not heating).2) The room drops to 71F. 3) Then once the display drops to 70F, the heater restarts.4) Repeat cycle.This cycle can take a long time for a larger room like a bedroom. It's a good design because limiting the ON/OFF cycles for heaters extends their life.Refer to the similar Question 1 for a similar response.

I think it depends on the mode you have selected. Once our room is heated to the desired level, we usually choose a manual mode so we do not have the fan cycling. I suggest trying different modes, and if fan cycles on and off in each mode, you may have a problem. Good luck.

I've used it just outside my bathroom and in my bedroom to heat up the rooms just for awhile because the dry heated air warms the rooms just right. Normally I use the heater in my small living room or kitchen so I don't have to run the house heater for the whole house. It is a great space heater you can adjust the temperature as high or low as you like.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

According to the online Lasko manual, "For increased efficiency, the Temperature Function will only run on High heat. When set on MAX, the Heater will run continuously." You can find this by searching "Lasko heater instructions 6405" and then clicking on their user manual link. I love the heater...it's attractive and very efficient, but I wish the Low setting worked for thermostatic control.

Yes, if you hook the fan to a thermostat, it will run the fan alone when the room is at the proper temperature, and engage the heat element as needed.

The fan runs (if it works) when the heat is on. it has different settings (hi,low,economy and temp setting.) i don't remember if it had fan only but most usually do just check the box before you buy. however i do not recommend buying it as mine wouldn't turn on other than the power light and the word hi on the read out. please read my review as i have had nothing but problems with Holmes products.

The fan is necessary to move the air through the ceramic wafer. Without the fan running, if its' fuse doesn't melt first, and shutdown the heater; then you will spend a lot on electricity, for very little heat. The fans on these units only last about a season, if you use it regularly. The model here has a rotary motor on bottom, of the two I have had, they do not last even a season. A better model, is the one without the bottom part; and, you gain a knock-over switch, which is important!
