This heater says it only heats 600 sq feet, but other say 1000 sq feet for the same BTU, what is the difference?

This heater will heat any space it is in, the square footage is more of a sugestion./recomendation, meaning that this heater will be most effective (use less gas, turn on less often, and keep a more even temp) if used in the space recomended

I recommend calling the technical service department at Mr. Heater, I found them very knowledgable.

General rule of thumb is 30 BTUs per square foot. This can change by some other factors up or down.

I have a 500 sq ft room with a 12000 btu unit and it does great heating and cooling. Maybe a 10000 btu unit would be enough for you.

One watt = 3.41 BTU's. A 1500 watt heater will produce 5115 BTU's/hr. and at 800 watts will produce 2728 BTU's. A great money-saving alternative to heating the entire home, this portable electric heater delivers comfortable warmth wherever it's needed most. Designed for a large 16-by-16-foot room with an 8-foot ceiling, the unit's energy-efficient Vortex technology fully circulates warm air throughout the room in just minutes. Choose from two heat settings--low at 800 watts or high at 1500 watts. For added convenience, its automatic climate control adjusts the heat output and fan speed at all times to maintain the set temperature, which means the room doesn't need to cool down in order for the heater to turn back on. Great for at home or at the office, the unit offers simple top-mounted controls, whisper-quiet operation, and a variety of safety features including a cool-touch cabinet and grill, a non-glowing heating element, and automatic shut-off for peace of mind. Model is made for 120 Volts only. I use mine in my motorhome which is 8.5' x 37' and it does a good job in the front 2/3rds. of it. When the outside temp falls below freezing it struggles to maintain 70 degrees but a motorhome is not very well insulated and has lots of window glass to transfer cold. I am very pleased with mine and recently purchased another one. There are cheaper heaters on the market but I haven't found any that out perform this one.

I have 832 sq ft on a the 1st level and 512 sq ft upstairs in a well insulated outbuilding (Michigan). My unit is 60,000 BTU, in my 2nd winter and doing fine.

Actually...I hooked it up to my home natural gas supply. I do not know.However, yes, it is a large heater. I have a 2550 square ft two story home. I got this to supplement during our particularly snarky winters here in Michigan.It keeps us warm and toasty! Also helps reduce the need for the main furnace use, which is 150000 btu's.I noticed a significant reduction in my heating bills.The heater works well, with no issues.I am in my second season with it.Quite happy.

Not sure on BTU's but it is rated to heat a 1800 square foot room. We have it in a 400 square foot room and it keeps it pretty toasty. The look of the fire is pretty cool too.

I am not finding a BTU listing on my Instructions - Operating Manual. 120 Volt outlet, 1500 Watts. Call Lasko Customer Service at 800-233-0268 and tell them the Model #. Mine is Model # 5624 Silent Room Heater. Hope this helps.

I don't feel that thee is enough difference between 200 watt and 300 watt heater unless the heater were to malfunction. The 300 would in my opinion be better if you live in a colder climate and kept your home heat at a lower temperature

It is both. You can switch it from one to other. Great heater. Our furnace went out in October and the two days we had to use it, it completely warmed my 1200 square foot home.

Not sure of the btu's but it heats my 500 gallon hot tub from 55 to 104 in about 3 hours

The "heater" is not described in BTUs as the AC is. Other units I have been looking at do use BTUs for the heater. I would need to know how this heater works and it's effectivness in a 400 ft2 room

hi! if you check out www.eco-heater.com you can find what you're looking for. the heater is advertised as heating 120 square feet. hope this helps....

I would believe this is 13000 BTU. I have the unit and it cools my 20' x20' room. I would not count on more than that for this unit.

There are three levels this units operates at: Low setting draws 1000 watts, Medium setting draws 1250 watts, and High draws 1500 watts.Low is the most energy efficient. Maximum BTU's is 5118. Amps drawn is 12.5. Unit Voltage is 120V, 60Hz. Hope this is helpful, I purchased two units within a couple of weeks.

IF you find the spec sheet it will tell you the maximum BTU per appliance and the maximum total. As I recall, the max appliance is 90,000 BTU and the total was 200,000 BTU. I don't know why the single appliance limit was so much less than the total. Doesn't make sense. You can download the spec sheet (I didn't save the link).

I can't make that comparison, but compared to a much less expensive Commercial Cool Unit from BJs, which was much lower BTU (10000, I think), it doesn't compare. I was extremely disappointed in this unit.
