We just want to add a little supplemental heat to a small bedroom. Will this item do the job?

I use it to keep the area under my desk warm and it works just fine. But I don't know how well it would do for a whole room. If the room is small and you keep the door closed, it might be OK. It is a nice unit though and it is very quiet. I like the fact that it provides soft and steady heat, rather than a fan blowing air at me.

Having an electric heater in a wet bath room is dangerous. You better use a ceiling mounted infrared light (bulb) or simply use more hot water to warm up. Even in a powder room, use same bulb.

yes it does but I usually switch it off when I leave the house so the switch for on /off doesn't work sometimes

You're going to need either a smaller room or a bigger heater. The mini is perfect for heating under your desk or perhaps a small bathroom.

Yes. In fact that was recommended by the electrician who installed it. When you need heat, you need heat. And you always want to be sucking the moisture out of the room. Using both together works perfectly fine for me.

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'.

I would agree with previous comment...it would create a cozy area but will not heat the entire garage

Yes, it will only provide heat because you have no A/C. I would say hook up the red & white and away you go. It is a really nice thermostat, we love the large display and how it lights up.Pat

I am fairly sure it would do the job. if you follow the instructions, it won't run continuously, but will use the thermostate setting, on and off...saves the electric bill..and it is sooooooo quiet!!!

If you could define "small" in square feet this would be a much easier question to answer. If you live in an apartment complex or have a small condo, yes it should cool a small bedroom (200-300sqft) easily.

We have forced air heating but our bedroom is on the far side of the house from the furnace. We've been using our Vornado for supplemental heat and it works very well. We turn it on around bedtime to bring the bedroom up to temperature.

I put one of these in our always cool, 14x20' lower Family Room. While it has made a somewhat noticeable difference in temp, I'll probably add at least one more. The information supplied by the manufacturer seems to be accurate regarding the size of room and number of units needed. Also, these things provide what I would call " ambient heat". There is no sound, movement, blowing air, etc. just a warmth that emanates from the unit. It kind of fools you into wondering if it really works, but it does!

It does trap a little heat, my wife and I keep it a little chilly in our bedroom anyway so I haven't noticed any excessive heat buildup.

You have to remember it is a small electric heater .it does a good job. And oscillates. But dows only go so far.but i like it as a help for our central heat

If the heater is inches away from your body, then probably yes. Personally, I would consider a larger unit as this one is very small and best for supplemental heat.

I don't know about electricity- I'm in a professional building. It does give off a little heat, but not much.

It will heat up a small room pretty quickly. And if you're sitting near it you'll be good and toasty.

I don't believe it is meant to heat up a room so much as place on a desktop and keep you warm. This is how I use it and it works very well. It is small and takes up little space . It only has ON or OFF settings.

I thought mine worked well. The size of the room and its insulation make a big difference. The most effective for me was using it to heat our 12x14' master bedroom at night, and we kept the door to the rest of the house closed. With just the wall panel, the bedroom would get too warm and we'd have to turn off the heat during the night, which was great!
