is this safe to use indoors as a space heater?

I wouldn't. It kicks up a good flame on high. On low it will still burn pretty well, which is dangerous indoors.

Hi there. Gas burning fire pits need two things, proper clearance and ventilation, to use safely.

propane burners should not be used indoors...that would be like using your BBQ inside.

I would not recommend it. It is nice outside for looks. It gives off a little heat but could not be used to keep warm. Open fire in an inclosed area is not a good idea.

I really like this heater but I am not comfortable leaing any space heater unattended. It will be interested to see what other answers u get.

I own this unit and bought it as it was listed under INDOOR heaters. I can't imagine it being safe to use outdoors as it's a simple electrical socket.

I would pick a different space heater. Mine burned out within a couple of months and both the manufacturer and the seller refused to replace it or do anything about it.

I am not sure. I used it for small heater which is very powerful. I never had a problem. But I do not have the heater on all the time. I would check with an electrican to be safe. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Might be a good idea to contact manufacturer about that. I am sure it is intended for indoor use to heat a room but you could ask manufacturer to be sure.

Probably too small for a heater. Would believe that ambient temp will suffice for normal room temps.

Yes, this stove is safe to use indoors. It is no different than a gas stove in your kitchen.

Yes; it's one of the safest heater you will ever buy. I use it overnight every night.

I wouldn't use it to heat my house for sure but as long as you have a window or door cracked a couple inches for ventilation it would be okay to cook a meal or make some coffee in an emergency power outage. Just keep it on low heat to reduce emissions and don't leave unattended or take a nap with it left on, you may not wake up. ;-)

I have two of them in an 850 sf house in the pacific northwest, and they heat it just fine. Course, the amount of insulation in the house is a big factor. Mine is well insulated in the ceiling. I also have a single unit in a 200 sf "granny pod" and it does fine. Keep in mind a small plug-in space heater is 1500 watts, while this unit is 2250 watts. If you go to the King Electric web site they have some data on sizing electric heaters.

Yes it is, its an indoor/outdoor heater. It also has a low oxygen sensor. My advice ALWAYS ALWAYS use a carbon-monoxide detector in a room that you plan to use ANY type of gas/liquid fuel heaters, just to be safe. This heater I definitely recommend for ease of use and its built well.

Yes, tihs is a very safe product and looks great too. It is also likely the best one at heating a large room because it can continuously pull 1400W on the high setting, putting out more heat compared to smaller ones and ceramic electric heaters that only really draw about 800W. They may all be rated at "1500W" but none of them really draw that much when warm. Having more elements gives it more heating surface area to dissapate heat, which allows it to pull more power all the time. There are also low and eco settings so it doesn't draw the 1400W if you don't need the extra heat. Because it does draw more power than other units you have to be more conscious of what else is on that circuit so you don't trip the breaker. If you have 15-amp breakers, then this thing will be drawing about 12 amps, so you cant also run a vacuum cleaner on that circuit or a refrigerator or microwave or other large device. This is advertised as 1800W in places, but in the owners manual it says 1500W. However, in the same owners manual it says it may draw up to 15 amps, which would indeed be 1800W. In my actual testing it draws 1400W continuously, which is actually about twice as good as most smaller cheaper ceramic electric heaters or any other wire coil electric heater. The fan is not loud, it is also not silent, it needs to get all that heat dissapated and distributed. The wood is always cool to the touch, doesnt heat up and the power cable doesnt get hot either like some other electric heaters. it will probably look best on carpet, because on a hard floor the legs are above the ground a little bit since it sets on the casters, and the 4 wooden legs are just a bit higher than those wheels. On carpet the wheels will sink a bit so the legs look like they are on the ground.

We use it in an enclosed sunroom and it's safe. The fan part is great. The heater is noisy and not especially effective. The lights, on ours, do not turn off but only dim up and down...not the way its supposed to work! My advice, buy a Hunter fan and skip the rest.

The heater is made to use under a desk where it would be in close contact. It would not put out enough heat for a room.

I understand that one can get a hose to attach to the heater to allow for venting. If you did that, I believe it would be fully safe; at least I personally would be willing to use it inside if fumes were vented out. Otherwise, I would not use it inside while I was sleeping.
