Does this stove heat any better than standard 1500W convection or radiant heaters?

About the same , but with the artificial feels warmer , the ambiance is awesome

I would say, No. It's cuter but doesn't heat better. As a matter of fact, the only part of the room that seems to be warmer is the part that is in front of the heater fan.

Sorry I can't answer that, I guess that depends on the room size. Go here to see if it helps: http://www.wisegeek.com/how-much-energy-do-space-heaters-use.htm On the menu at the top you can click "best space heaters" and see what they say.

No it doesn't, it takes the chill off of a room, the heat is not intense,the fake flames make a cozy atmosphere, its nice but not a strong heat source.

I have this in my living room and it is actually quiter than the 800 sq foot one I have in my bedroom. Though to be honest I would get one of the smaller ones that are much cheaper for your bedroom. This unit puts off surprisingly little heat considering it claims to be for 2000 sq feet, I hear good things about the Dr. Infrared Heater 1500 sq ft one, but I don't own one of those so I can't personally attest to it.

I had two of these in a custom 157 gallon setup. While I'm not sure what the rate of increase was per pass, I can tell you it delivered the best heating method to date. I've since had a 20k 400g setup with 4 500 watt stick heaters. The method that hydro uses to heat the water makes it superior, they just need a larger model for huge setups and I'd be using them. As for the set temp, yes it's very accurate for a dial, I would set it where you want it and monitor it with another digital thermostat. You can tweak it after that.

In the convection mode, it put out lots of heat, a great deal more than the GE we replaced it with. (The Panasonic died after a few months and could not be repaired. It was junk.)

1200W. After 7 mos still gets too hot and cooks very uneven. I will not buy another.

I'll say my tiny bathroom (6x6) still takes about 15 or more to get even some fealing of heat. Im acually looking for a better heater now..

The unit I have has 1600 Watt raging on it. A 1500 watt appliance would be pushing the upper limit.

I do not know the rating, but I've been told that it does use as much energy as a central system heating my whole house. I will say this - it does FEEL better to have more direct heat from the Ambia.

This is a wonderful stove-it has basically warmed up two large rooms in my house. I use gas here in WV. And with the past superstorm sandy, electric was out-the stove kept the house warm.

not much more than a 1500 watt ceramic heater, but i would not ever buy anothe quarts heater again, the eaen pure i had caused a fire all most cost me my life.i totally reccomend a ductless heat pump mitsibushi brand preferable i have one and i love it suppose to save about 40% on electric bill just got it 20 days ago so far i love it.

How did the two heaters work out? I'd imagine it to work well, depends on total square footage, yet Im not too sure how it will match up against two 1500 watt heaters.The thing I did like about this heater is that it doesn't dry out the air, and also has temp settings. If the area is a medium space, you should be fine.

Your heater is a pure resistive load plus maybe a small motor and the switch says it will handle a 1 hp motor which is a much more demanding load. As some of the other answers noted, a heater should be fine. 800 watts is well within the range of load they specify. A 1500 watt heater will probably work fine too. Higher than that is asking for trouble (which will be refusal to shut heater off or failure to turn it on after a bunch of uses).If it doesnt work, buy a husky and hug it when you get out of the shower.

There is only 1500 watts. You can choose between: High heat (it automatically turns on/off to keep your desired temperature, timer), Low heat (no automatic temp. control, only timer), Save-smart (automatically switch between high/low heat and on/off). You can download the manual here http://www.laskoproducts.com/digital-ceramic-tower-heater-with-remote-control-model-5119/

Great. When we installed Bosch convection stove top ( I am assuming that is what you meant convection), we purchased the cookware. It has performed wonderfully. It works great with a convection cooking surface. I would recommend it.

I have a gas stove. But mine heats up evenly. I don't have it on HIGH heat. It's perfect for me.
