is it safe to use this in a bathroom?

I have used it in my bathroom. Like any electrical device I would keep it away from direct contact with water, but it is one of the safest devices I own. Everything is completely enclosed. It is very powerful for a small room and heats it up quickly.

The directions and the warning label on the cord both say not to use it in a bathroom, so I haven't placed it directly in the bathroom. I have, however, placed it just outside the open bathroom door when showering, and it warms the bathroom up pretty well.

I had a great deal of trouble with this DeLonghi heater. I bought it because I have a Kenwood and they both are from the same company as per information obtained via the web. I had to return the heater twice because it did not work and or it blew fuses. When I called the company, they said that the heater had be taken out of production in January 2011. Personally, I would not buy any of their products.

Yes, just do not drop it in the tub. I have brought it at the door of my bathroom it works very well. It will also turn itself off if you set the timer correctly. I do use a heavy duty extension cord for safety.

Yes, It is very safe, there is no exposed heating element, no flame, no power fan. Just don't drop it into the bathtub while you (or someone else) is in it!

Most of the heat rises through the vents in the top (unlike a radiant heater). So if the bathroom is decent sized, it should be fine. I would at least a foot around it to be safe though. I have mine on an aluminum drip pan (2' x 3' - like the kind put under cars) in the living room, on a carpet. I only do this for a little extra safety and because it rolls more easily. And because the heat rises, the sides only get warm and don't get hot enough to burn badly. I would guess a pet wouldn't even get burned if they brushed against it. They wouldn't do it again but it's relatively safe.

It appears to be safe enough to use as a night light in a bathroom. I would not get it wet by submersion. But it should be fine in high humidity. The box states to use it only exposed outlets where device is well ventilated and cannot contact bed coverings or other material. Don't use with extension cords.

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

Reality Check : Per the CPSC [USA] "Unless certified for that purpose, do not use heaters in wet or moist places, such as Bathrooms." Wet Feet and Hands with a portable electric heater on the bathroom floor =equals= deadly danger. Bathroom 'safe' heaters usually come equipped with a ACLI Safety Plug and/or can be wall mounted (off the floor). Adults make mistakes, and children simply don't know and like to touch everything : So Be Safe Not Sorry ! -and-now-you-know- ~ RHF

Humidity and moisture are bad for electronics in general. Leaving it on the bathroom counter with the fan on would probably be ok.

It depends how large our bathroom is. I would suspect that the moisture from the bathroom would adversely affect the wood eventually.

I would not use it in the bath it would probably ruin it. Good for chairs or car seats and that's about it.

I've been using them on my ceramic tile with now problems. I'm sure it would not harm any bathroom service, it's made of a plastic material.

Yes this it will do just fine in the bathroom. You should have no problem with the drawer.

I have these in cans in the kitchen and we have not had a problem yet. I think they would be fine in the bathroom unless the fixture is sealed.

Yes, this heater is designed to be safe for hot, steamy areas like bathrooms (and it's about the only heater rated safe for bathrooms). If you want more info, search for "ACLI" on the internet, because the ACLI plug is what makes the heater safer.

You should be able to use it in a bathroom as long as you have proper ventilation in the bathroom. If you don't I would recommend installing a Panasonic fan.

These fixture are safe to use in a bathroom, I instaled one over my vanity. The tubular bulbs recommended are not strong enough, I suggest you use the narrow neon bulbs or even better the LED bulbs (more expensive, but they will last a lifetime)

Yes, I use mine in the shower; However you should not submerge it in water.

I have used mine in my bathroom for a very long time. If you have a sauna type situation then it maybe could be a problem. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer.
