My room is 15 x 20 feet. I don't need the whole room to be that warm---just the area around me. Will this heater work? Pls help. I am freezing

AYes, 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 approximately 3" and under away from me.

Sure, if you place it within 3 feet from you, you will feel the heat instantly.

it depends on how well your room is insulated.the thing is basically an oversized, high power heat lamp.

since it's only a 400/800 watt heater, it's more of a spot heater. Since your room is 15x20, you should look into a more powerful heater that puts out 1500 watts in one of its settings. I actually don't use the oscillating feature because it's not that powerful and usually use the 800 setting for just a couple of hours. Overnight, I switch it to the 400 watt setting.I think those Living Pure infrared heaters would heat up your 15x20 room easily and those heaters radiate the heat everywhere whereas this heater is more of a directional, spot heater

We have this heater installed in an open area of our home that is 2 levels (a drop of 2 steps to the lower level) and approx 30 x 40 with an open beamed ceiling. An open hall leads off upper area and there are open doors to other rooms. It takes the chill off the entire 1500 sq foot house, is not very effective in the back 3 rooms of the house, but keeps the upper area where it is installed (30 x 20) very comfortable. I definitely would go bigger if you want it to heat your entire house, but it's great for smaller areas. It is economic to run. We are very happy with it.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

Greetings James, the room I have this unit in is about 2400 cubic ft and it does NOT keep the whole room at 65-70 deg only an area of approximately 8' x 8'. It really is good for a small bedroom. I use it to warm the sofa/seating area around the TV but beyond that I'd have to use the house heater. I got this to avoid having to use the house heater due to cost. It does the job for the small area only. Ciao, TLM

I purchased this unit before last winter and found it to make the 15'X15' living room very comfortable. I do not believe that this unit comes close to heating a 1000 sq ft home, more like an efficient space heater.

Rob- Sorry, But Can't Help You. I Purchased the Heater About a Year ago and Have Given it to a Good Friend. Myself, After trying the Heater Out, I Was "VERY EMPRESSED" !!!. It was the Best Heater We Found, to Heat My Friends Garage, for Our Weekly Card Game. Hope It Helps ? Take care Ken

It'll heat that great room, but the heat may no carry to the bedroom also. You can buy little fans that mount in the doorway to circulate heat to the bedroom. A round 20'000BTU unit will drive you out of the house with its heat. We have a half level upstairs with two small rooms and a bathroom. Up there with the heater on, it gets to 80 degrees on the coldest days. We've had the round heaters and placement of those is more problematic because heat is thrown out on all sides.

While I don't know how cold that room will get, I doubt the heater could keep the entire room warm. Especially with that high ceiling.

It will not heat a regular sized room. I use it in my living room near where I sit on sofa. It takes chill out of that space.I may be just fine for a small child's room. You set how hot you want it, it turns off when it reaches that heat level.

If you leave it on all the time, it will keep a small to medium sized room fairly warm. It will not heat a room right away or keep a room warm if its really cold. The one issue I have with this heater is that it cracked after normal usage.

The heater works great. The room we have it in is about 300 square feet. It heats that room nicely and then some.

20x20 is what I have been using it for and it can get two hot. I think it would heat a large bedroom effectively. It's a great heater. The best space heater I have bought. It's quiet and the side separates so you can aim the heat in different areas.

I think it will do fine in a room that size. Depending on the configuration, you might need a supplemental fan to circulate the heat, since the unit's fan isn't all that powerful. BTW: My unit is very quiet. It started making a bit of noise during oscillation when I put it out this year and with some investigation, I found the screws holding on the back panel needed tightening. A few minutes with a screwdriver and the heater is now wonderfully quiet again. Altogether a very satisfactory purchase.

Well, like I said in my post that I have a 15x23 room and I'll tell you--I was very surprised that it heated it up as good as it did. Personally, I think this heater is the best one I've found so far. It gets pretty warm, also you can move the lever up or down to let the heat go where you want it to go. When I first get up in the mornings, I sit on the couch drinking my coffee and I put that heater in front of me and pull the lever down where the heat is going right on me. LOL--I'm not good with square feet. So what ever 15x23 is. Hope that helped.

Absolutely! This heater is small, but it does work as described. The main thing is to make sure the outlet that you plug into is rated a minimum of 15 amps. Any less and it will not work. This is where a lot of the low ratings are coming from, imo. I have had this as a supplement to my regular heat as my heater core is clogged and I can not clean it out at this time during the winter. My unit has been working great for the last 1 1/2 months that I have owned it. I installed a dedicated outlet for mine connected directly to the battery rated at 20 amps with # 12 awg wire and have had no problems. If anyone needs help and a list of materials to install a dedicated outlet, I will be glad to assist. Absolutely! This heater is small, but it does work as described.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directionsI don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

I have mine in a 12x20 garage. Does a great job. Is the heater blowing out heated air? If not you may want to have a electrician friend take a look.
