does this heater have its own thermostat control which allows it to come on and off

The fan runs continuously when turned on. However the fan speed and the heat output varies, as needed, to heat and maintain the temperature. I heat a 32 foot 5th wheel trailer with one of these in central Florida during the winter months and only have to augment the heat output with the trailer furnace when the outside temperature gets down to or below freezing. It is a very efficient heater and I would not hesitate to purchase another if needed.

It never actually turns completely off. It's actually better than that. The thermostat is infinitely variable. The heater adjusts the heat and fan speed based on the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature. When you first turn it on, the fan will be relatively loud and it will use close to the maximum power. As the room warms up, the fan eventually slows to a whisper, and the power use drops to almost nothing. I'm a huge fan of these heaters. My in-laws used one to heat their small RV on a trip to Alaska. They're safe, quiet and efficient. Well worth the price.

No there is no remote with the one I purchased. Has heat adjustment so that you can set it and it will turn off at desired temperature. Great heater.

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.

Yes. It has a light that goes on and off as the heater does. But not a light when its just plugged in. Only when its on.

There is an on off switch . There is also a thermostat to regulate temp but I have not used it.

There is no on-off switch nor thermostat. It is simply ON when plugged in and OFF when unplugged. If you want to control the temperature you can use a lamp dimmer that Home Depot sells.

No, just one setting - on/off, and no automatic shutoff. That said, it gets pretty warm (I'd agree with the commenter who said it reaches about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10) and it's been working perfectly for 1.5 years now, so for the price it's a good deal.

Not sure. I haven't used that feature. But I'm guessing it is used to set when the heater need to turn off not on. I'll let you know on my next post

It does have a thermostat, so it will turn off when the air around the unit reaches the set temperature, but, it will continue to run and blow heat as long as it needs until it reaches the temperature you set it to. This unit was a workhorse when I first got it, its only now that I've had a problem.

Well the thermostat does turn the unit on or off depending on the ambient temp.

It does not come with thermostat or on off switch. This needs to be connected to power supply by electrician and thermostat added as well.

Sorry, but no. It does have temperature control which I like but it does not turn off by itself.

Yes it does. There are 4 settings. OFF, ON, Heat and Cool. With the ON setting the fan remains on. Use HEAT in winter or COOL in the summer. Then adjust the knob for how hot or cold it has to be before the fan kicks on.

It only comes on when you touch a control button and then goes off a few seconds later. By the way, I love this thermostat.

No, it does not have an on/off toggle switch. It uses a turn knob and an internal thermostat to control when it comes on and off. I simply leave it at the lowest setting when I don't need it and it almost never cycles on then.

no it is just automatic or understood that it is on whenever the unit is running for heat/fan

Yes the heater can be turned off or on during the run cycle without unplugging it. Heater is activated by pushing the center button. A light around the button indicates when it is on or off.
