Does running this unit affect the room temperatue? (e.g., when heating is on, does it lower the temperature?)

My experience with both machines I bought is that the temperature appears (subjectively) to be lowered, and not just in the line of fire from the fan. They also appear to alleviate sniffles and congestion to some extent. sometimes working better at a lowere rate of fan speed. As an objective measure, I have not noticed a drop in temperature on the thermostat (in another room).

Nope, no temp change, and it doesn't blow straight out but rather at a downward angle, so using it as a fan is a little tough.

Yes, it does. if you set it on high the room temperatue will drop. It is just like a fan with filter on it.If the fan can cool of the room in summer and it will cool of the room in winter. I did put it on high for hour when I came house I felt the room was very cold. I saw It was a few drgree drop, If you put it in low you may not be feel that much but the air is move slow. It is still drop the room temperature but too small you may not feel it.

I don't believe it does lower the temperature in a room, but it does stir the air so that it may feel like it. My machine is set on low because the room is rather small, and that might make a difference.

Depends on what speed you put the unit on and the size of the room. The unit is in our bedroom and we use it on low speed in the winter and in the summer we put it on high which makes the room feel cooler.

Actually, there is no temperature control in this heater. There is timer kind of knab which shuts off the heater based on it's setting. If it is max, always heater runs. If it is low, automatically it takes lot of breaks.

Good question! My unit has been running non-stop for at least 3 months. I just checked it for any trace of heat and there is none whatsoever, either on the unit itself, or in the air coming out, which is relatively cool. I have not owned the unit during a hot season, though, nor do I live in an area that normally gets extremely hot for long periods of time. (I live high in the mountains of Colorado where most people don't even have air conditioning.) Still, I believe that this unit won't contribute additional heat to your room.

The answer lies in another question. Is your furnace turning on and off a the appropriate times? If it is then the thermostat is doing what it is designed to do, control room temperature. The one you have chosen is very sensitive, plus or minus one degree. It is possible that the thermostat does not see any major changes in temperatures, since the wall the thermostat is mounted on, is a thermal mass that can buffer the actual air temperature variations in the room. Try placing a good thermometer next to the thermostat and see if there is a difference in what they are reading.

Not to my knowledge. this has a knob that you adjust to whatever the room temp you dsire is reached--but it is a Plus or minus arrangment--no set temps.John D

Yes when you use the heater. When the room reaches the temp that you set the heater on it will shut off than come back on when the room starts to cool off.

Yes, if you hook the fan to a thermostat, it will run the fan alone when the room is at the proper temperature, and engage the heat element as needed.

Sorry, but I have no idea. The unit is SILENT running. No heat issues. Hope this helps.

Mine has run at 60 degrees F with no problems. At temperatures below 64 it will go into periodic defrost mode which will prevent freeze-up. The operator's manual states that the unit will operate in temps down to 41 F. The manual says if the room temp remains below 41 F, the machine should be switched off.

It does heat your room some, because the outside of the unit gets hot to the touch. I do not think it heats the room as much as an oven would.

The fan should not run continuously. If the evap. Thermostat is satisfied with the room temperature the whole unit should stop running. Make sure your setting is not on DRY.

No, the heater does not turn off once the room reaches the designated temperature. I'm happy to hear your heater works. My heater stopped working.

mine has a temp reading and I guess when room temp falls below setting temp it will turn on.I would think that it would use more electricity always having to cycle to heat up oil inside it.I just will use low setting at about 7amps

I ran this unit during one of the warmest summer's here in Utah. It worked just fine in smaller rooms, but not so much in my living room. Hope this info. helps.

Aloha, I personally have changed temperature and have not encountered any problems. I enjoy using this unit. Hope this helps. Much Blessings

No, mine didn't. They recommend you purchase a programmable thermostat if you want to control it. I have just leave it on 24/7 and it's been great. Takes the chill out of the air in the bathroom. It's meant to run continuously because it takes a while to heat the whole room (6-12 hours).

Not sure what you mean exactly by the question. I haven't had a chance to use the heating unit. It all depends on the size of the space as well. I do think it's a very effective unit and worth the price, but it's not as quiet as I hoped it would be.
