Does the Lifesmart Compact Power Plus 800 Square Foot Infrared Heater have a fan, if so how does it work and what is the warranty?

To add to Rachel's comment, the fan will stay on for a short while when the unit is shut off (or it is automatically shut off via the thermostat). This may be a safety feature to cool the inside down and/or extract the remaining heat.

Yes, this heater has a fan which works well. It's fairly powerful but quiet. The heater comes with a standard manufacturer's 1 yr. limited warranty.

This heater does have the fan in it but barely pushes the air. We found an external fan really improves the airflow and makes a huge difference in circulation of the heated air.

It does not, get the tall lasko fan if you want a remote and a timer. I forget the actual model number

No fan!! It is simply a radiant heater. Heat comes from both sides and the top. We like the heater because of this - it is silent, warming, fun to stand around and warm your hands and other sides as well. The design is such that no surface gets dangerously hot.

yes, it has an internal fan that blows the heat across the elements and into the room. Two speeds, low and high. overall, very quiet. I am extremely happy with this product and am considering purchasing a second unit for our basement.

I have this in my living room and it is actually quiter than the 800 sq foot one I have in my bedroom. Though to be honest I would get one of the smaller ones that are much cheaper for your bedroom. This unit puts off surprisingly little heat considering it claims to be for 2000 sq feet, I hear good things about the Dr. Infrared Heater 1500 sq ft one, but I don't own one of those so I can't personally attest to it.

Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good. I believe that i got a defective model. I fixed it myself and found loose wire connections inside of the unit. It reduces my electrical bill about 25% but i use two heaters in my house. One is the Lifesmart 1500 and the other is a different model Diva Tranquility 1500 model. I like the Diva model much better and the two infrared heaters combined heat my entire house well. My home is 1,260 sq. ft. and i set the heaters at 65 degrees and dont use my big whole house heater all winter. I do save some electricity in Kentucky. Our electric is expensive here and higher than a lot of other places we lived. I hope this helps you out!

No Fan. But it is agreat heater. I bought two last winter to do two rooms 14X14 they kept the rooms good and warm.

Heater does not have a fan. A fan might be nice, but then it would need to have electric power to it. I have used it a garage and put a fan behind it to help circulate the heat. The advantage to not needing electricity is complete portability and it functions in a power outage.

yes and it hardly shuts off, even if the temp is set and room temp does get to its number fan keeps going. Also when the one of the heating infra-red bulbs burn out u can't replace them without destroying unit. The fan is somewhat quiet but still hardly ever shuts off. Trust me, I have ceiling heat in a 1960 house and with electric prices through the roof I have tried several style heaters, amazing enough the BEST HEATERS ARE THE UGLY OIL FILLED RADIATOR HEATERS. Hope this helps!!

not sure about the warranty, but it's running right now, & has made a world of difference for our heating needs. Been running it for about 2 seasons now without issue. I recently Looked at a smaller Life Smart unit that had continually shut down after running a while, for a family member, only to find the filter completely plugged & the unit was over-heating. That one is once again up and running, & is on it's third season.

Yes, the model I bought does have the fan. Works good but not going to blow across the whole room. I use mine in the garage.

The model I purchased, via Amazon (CS3311) lasted approx a year. The heater and blower (fan) failed. I contacted the company, explained the situation. They shipped me. at NO COST, a complete heater/blower assembly. I cannot complain. Their compliance makes me wonder about the reliability of their products. Hope this helps you.

It states it can heat up to 1500sq ft, but I found that not to be. It will work in a very small room after your normal heat system warms up the room then you can lower that and use the lifesmart. I was not satisfied and the heat bill went up also.

The short answer is no. The longer question is why would you want to buy a HEATER to be used as a FAN since fans are for COOLING ???

It has a small fan and you must plug in the cord if you wish the fan to run. The heater will work just fine without the fan an you do not have t use it, but the fan does increase the comfort further away.
