how come it never reaches the temperature you set it for, I am in a very cold Boston and no matter what I do it never gets out of the 50's

Must be something wrong with your heater. When I set the heater temperature to 71 degrees the heater will stay on until reaching 73 degrees (don't know why). Once it drops to 70 degrees then the heater should come back on. The heater will tell you whatever the temp is in the room. When it's extremely cold the heater can't heat some rooms. Hope this helps.

Not sure. It should heat a 20' x 20' room very well. You also can take it off "Auto" and it will run all the time and not try to get to its set temp. If the air coming off the machine while it is running isn't hot, then your unit is defective.

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

I'm in WI (we had frigid temps this month!) and it has been running fine for us. We set ours at 72* and it stops running at about 72-73. Yours may be defective?

If the heater is putting out heat, the only reason I can think of for it not reaching higher temps is that it is not big enough for the area that you are trying to heat. I have mine in a game room downstairs, about 650 sq. ft., and it can get up to 70,72,74 degrees.

My area is similar. I live in northern Wisconsin where the temps have been below 0 for 3 months. I kept my furnace at 58 to 60 and the heater at 72 but it never went over 55 to 60. It was cold but when propane was $5 per gallon it got me through till the price came down

I now like the machine but the settings/temps process is mysterious. In brief, be sure it is in the mode you want; like standard and not eco or fan. I turn it on and up to where it starts, then back it down. I set its reading to four or five degrees higher than I actually intend. This way it cycles on and off at night and keeps the (bed)room at the desired temperature. This advice may not help. In which case persist; just fool with the thing until you win. Or call LeLonghi and good luck with that.

I am using mine at a range of about 40' and goin through at least two walls. Don't be tricked by the temp not changing right away. I was at first. It only updates like once a minute so give it some time and make sure the temp is changing in the test area. I like this. It works perfect for me to keep an eye on my deep freezers out in my utility room.

There is a thermostat but I'm not sure if it will get to that range. Mine stays around 38-40 on the coldest setting. It may get close to 50 if turned all the way up but that's just a guess.

Thermostate is set to 50° so if you keep the thermostat inside whatever it is you're trying to keep from freezing outside will freeze very nice.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

I just checked the thermostat and it only goes down to 45 degrees. If you are trying to use this for freeze protection, you might look into a space heater with a built-in digital thermostat.

My guess is that you have the "low temp" value set higher than what it is sensing as the current temperature. I never use the low temp thing so I have it set at 35 degrees and I never have the issue you are describing.

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

I've had mine for 2 months, set the dial at halfway, it took 24hrs to cool, the temp is around 48*, there's no other dials, so just return it

When we are not using it we turn it down to 86 then turn it up hours before use. It can go as low as you want 50's and if it is outside it can go as low as the temperature that it is exposed to if heater is not on. But you run risk of it freezing and thus popping the tub since it is inflatable. Like I said we keep it at 86 when not in use and even in very cold temps outside it is able to maintain the 86

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs.Any suggestions experts?

Mine seems to keep it about 10 degrees above my room temp. It's not like you can set it at a temperature and it'll adjust itself up or down accordingly.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

My unit is new. I've only fired it up a couple of times when the house temp was down in the 50's so it may be different during the winter. But it seems like the minimum is in the low 60's or high 50's. It's really hard to tell at this point, since the delta between the outside and the inside isn't great. Your mileage will vary.
