Can you feel the heat off of this heater? How close do you need to be to feel a cozy warmth?

You feel the heat immediately but best results are achieved in a medium size room after it is on for a half hour or so. It heats my computer room of 140 square feet very comfortably in that amount of time.

My chair is 5 feet from front of heater. I have to keep it turned down low most of the time. Heats wonderfully.

My Mom has it mounted on the wall in her Assisted Living room. It gently heats the whole room very nicely. She loves it! Her room isn't huge so not sure how it would do in a real large room but it's been very impressive in an average size bedroom. It has a nice radiant affect. You can put your hand on it and it just feels nice and warm...not hot so as to burn yet it heats the whole area.

Yes, I think it would work for you as it is not a whole room heater with blower. It is a kind of oscillating heat lamp with coils; it heats whatever is close to it. In my case, in order to feel the heat, it has to be propped within approximately 3'.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

Good Morning...I am now following up with real answers. It was cold this morning for the first time this fall in our home and I set up the Lasko #5775 Heater. There will be absolutely no danger getting burned. After having it on for 30 min in my bath (by the way is bigger than I thought, a 10 X 10 room), the room was nicely warm and the heater to touch was barely warm. It really has been a great little heater and I still give it 5 stars!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

We love our unit! It does a good job heating a larger area but it's definitely warmer directly in front of the unit itself. It can be concealed somewhat in a corner, but I would make sure it has enough air flow around it.

No it wont feel warm. It has an automatic thermostat that will only come on as needed to keep the water from freezing. I just replaced the one i bought 8 years ago. I hope this one , which is the same brand, lasts as long

Yes, you should hear a little noise from the fan and you should be able to feel the heat.

I use this for my cold feet at my desk at home, but I have also used it sitting on my recliner about 8 feet away with the heater on the floor aimed at my feet. I feel the warmth, but not strong hot heat from that far away. The little heater will also warm an 8' by 8' room if left on for awhile. I am very satisfied with this little heater. I have owned it for over a year and it is still gouing strong.

I just tried the fan, I can feel it strongly up to 16 inches away and can still feel it up to 24 inches away. The higher the heat the slower the fan. Hope this helps

If The room Temperature starts at about 60° it will heat the room about 2° an hour. You can feel the heat blow About 2 feet away from it. I use two heaters to heat my thousand square-foot home

Mine heats my 2 car garage in the dead of mid Atlantic winter to be very comfortable. If the heater is pointed your direction, you can feel the heat directly from the heater from at least 20 feet away.The heated air from about 20 feet away is probably about 3 feet wide.

Standard bedroom takes 30 minutes to warm 10 degrees. need to be within 4 feet of heater for it to feel nice and warm

If the heater has been plugged for a while, the base should feel warm or hot depending on the wattage of the unit.

I cannot get mine to get passed a very little warm sensation and it is a useless rip off if you ask me! I have never been so disappointed with an item as I have this one. I think that this should be taken off Amazon all together! Sorry I cannot help with your question and sorry you have been ripped off too!

Can't imagine that happening? It's a great little heater, but it doesn't get real hot to the touch anywhere on the outside. At least not hot enough to burn anything or anybody.

It is cool to touch. Its a good heater for our bonus room which is big and didnt run up the electric bill too bad! It would be ok with kids

Here is a video for how hot the surface of the heater is. It is easier for you to get an idea. http://youtu.be/BCkgVhAtBNk
