our basement bedroom is 28' x 14' x 8' & stays around 53 deg c, will this warm it to say 70 deg c?

I have it in an 8x8 bathroom in our basement. It keeps that warm, but I think a room your size you would need to run it 24/7 to keep it around 70 degrees.

Yes, but, that is probably at it's limits. We had ours running constantly last year. This year the elements burned out early into the season. Now, they do make it fairly easy to change these out. At the price point I still think it was a good purchase. Two points though, I don't recommend it where kids may rough house nearby those sharp corners and the whole faceplate knife edge needs caution.

I think so. Of course cold as it has been all doors must be closed to the unit time to generate. I am enjoying my units.

Well not much about 2-3 feet but if temperature outside is above 50 it should warm up the whole room.

it warms our large living/front room. it's about 14'X28'. any bigger, it prob wouldn't reach the whole room.

Mine never would go down to 55 degrees if room temp was 80 degrees or more......so if in a warm garage, it's probably what you might get. I just have mine set at lowest temp possible. I was one of the people who gave a negative review. I was going to return but it wasn't worth cost/effort. Make sure you have clearance on sides and back of machine as stated in instruction booklet.

I have not noticed much difference. If anything, I believe it would make it a bit warmer. That said, I use it in my basement (my summer home!) and I was not overly warm.

I believe so as if heats my 500 square foot cottage I'm renting in Washington state on the low setting easily. I'm quite sure it can handle a700 square foot basement. Especially if you use the higher setting. The units thermostat is very accurate and will keep the temperature you want. Highly recommended. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone, your feedback helps a lot. The temps get down to about 25 in the early morning but always warms up to about 40-45 by mid day in Central NC. Ooops didn't see the typo... the space is 14x40x10 (560 sf with 10 ft ceiling height) fully insulated ceiling walls and floors with a ceiling fan to aid in heating or cooling circulation.

We left ours on in the living room for several bitter cold weeks during the midwest propane shortage last winter. Whether or not it will heat that space to 82 degrees is going to depend on external factors like outside temp and insulation of the structure.

Yes, Sandra it will. My basement is very, very chilly in the winter sometimes the temperature doesn't get higher than 40 degrees and I have a 50 gallon tank with 4 red ear sliders. I set the 200 watt heater on high and it keeps the water around 65 degrees. I know they would like it warmer so I have a heat lamp over top of the platform where they can go and get warmer. I have had this heater for at least 5 months and it seems to be working well, "glad I purchased it."

If the room is well insulated and the outside temperature is in the 30 degree range it wil probably heat it reasonably well. There are to many variables for a really accurate response.

We currently are using it in our basement bedroom which is approximately 13 x 22. We are very pleased with it.

It is rated @ 600 square feet, which is a room or bldg. about 20 by 30 feet. Of course it depends on how well it's insulated. That's basically a 2 car garage. I live in western PA, and I have one in my basement that runs on the low setting (6,000 btu's) about all winter. It has cut my heating costs significantly because the crappy forced air heat isn't always running. I actually installed 2 of these in the basement for emergency, in case of and electrical outage to keep the house warm. If I run both of these on the high setting, they will run me out of the basement. It will get 85-90 degrees down there in half an hour. My basement is 25 by 22 feet.

It's 36 degrees F. Depending on the temperature of the room, I doubt it will run that cool. The lowest I've run mine is 64 degrees F. Usually it is set to 70.

If you leave it on the high setting it can maintain a warm temp in a fairly large room. I would say as much as 30x30 room. Keep in mind it will be running a lot and cost a bit in electricity. Maybe 50-60 a month.

I've had it this heater about 2 months now but it's getting it's true test now. It's in the teens and 20's at night this week in the north east and I have this heater in my finished basement 1200 sq ft with no heat zones. I have the temp set at 69 f. and it maintains without working hard. Great heater. As with any heat source, it is only as good as your insulation..... I would say yes for 1800 sq ft open area. I have doorways and a long hall and it heats fairly even to the other rooms.

Not sure... but the beauty of this machine is its timer: set and forget it! Your space will be as warm as you want it as long as your ceilings aren't higher than the standard 8 feet. Hope that helps!
