Has anyone used it for heat? If so, how long does it last and what are your thoughts on it?

They last a solid thirty minutes for hot or cold. I bought this for use after ACL surgery and I'm glad I did.

I have had mine for about nine months, so not during summer yet, but run it 24/7 and at speeds well above the minimum in a small room, and have never been able to tell that it is generating significant heat. At least, when I feel the unit itself it always seems to be at room temperature. YMMV of course, that is just my experience. ON THE OTHER HAND, I don't think you are going to cure dust problems running it on low all the time if you have as much dust as I do.

It's been working well for me running 24/7. It throws some heat but it's only around 75 degree's, maybe 80 at the maximum. I run an A/C in the same room so it's no problem for me. I'm very satisfied with it, just a word of caution though if you don't want to run it 24 hours a day, then you may want to run it on a timer, it's built in timer function doesn't seem to be well thought out. Hope this helps.

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.

It works great and is quiet, but it doesn't heat a very big area. Maybe 30x30 area. I think it will last a long time.

I have, it works well, dry it with a 1200 watt heat gun, be careful not to singe and or ignite the surface, wait to touch the surface until the area has cooled, do not try to drive or operate machinery while screen printing, ask your doctor if you're healthy enough for fast paced heat-setting

I've used it only a couple of times but love it. I had it running quite a while so it had opportunity to over heat but it didn't.

I only used it last summer while camping about three times for a few minutes at a time so I guess I am not a good one to ask that question. I only bought it for camping. Sorry I couldn't help you out. I will use it again this summer so will see if it is still good.

I have been pleased. I let the towel heat (it's best to only put one towel in the heater; but I find when I place a second one on top for my hair, it also gets heated) for at least 10-15 minutes and when I get out of the shower it stays warm for a few minutes. It's like being at the spa!

It does stay cool for long periods...I can not say for sure how long, also depends on room temp. I had this for my dog who refused to use it...Did not like it...spoiled thing that she is.....hope this helps....good luck...

We have used it extensively in our Kodiak travel trailer for two years. I have noticed that it gets warm when it is used, but not to the point of burning someone by touching it. It does have an automatic shutoff feature when tipped over, which is important. We do put it up on a kitchen counter to simply prevent our dogs from bumping into it and it does a great job of heating up our trailer in a short amount of time and then it shuts off with the thermostatic setting, until the temperature goes down and it starts again............RogerG

Has anyone been using this beyond 3 months? How long has it lasted you and why do you continue to use it?

I haven't noticed any abnormal heating but it doesn't last long! 2 to 3 hours tops!

I haven't had a problem with it over heating. I usually use it for 20-25 minutes and it hasn't made noise or overheated.

I have this heater. Actually 2 of them. I loved it when I was using it. Did a fantastic job of heating my home. The one and ONLY reason I stopped using it is because the cost of kerosene has really skyrocketed since last year, plus it's extremely hard to find it here now. But I am considering biting the dust and getting some for these days that are record-breakingly low this year. The main thing you have to remember with the 2304 DH is to keep it a minimum of 4-6 feet from anything around it. If you have pets, don't worry. Most animals (I have 2 dogs and a cat) learn to get close to it to get warm and to scootch away as they warm up. I've never once had a problem with my pets getting burned. Also, I never leave mine running all night or when I'm not home. And of course, don't ever place anything on top of it. Also of course, don't use anything but K-1 kerosene in it. As long as you use common sense, you won't have a problem and will be just as satisfied with yours as I am with mine.

Hi we use ours everyday sometimes for 6 to 8 house and we have never noticed a heat problem. It is activated now and it is cool to the touch.
