how large a room will this be effective in?

It cooled my 20x25 ft bedroom with vaulted ceilings easily. It even cooled on adjacent bathroom 15x15 ft. I live in Hawaii and it gets around 90 degrees with high humidity in the summer. The thermostat is accurate and the unit is fairly quiet.

It cools my medium sized bedroom extremely effectively, but not much beyond it due to door ways. I believe it would cool a 700 sq ft area well if there is good airflow between the rooms or a fan to push the cool air around.

I have mine in an upstairs bedroom that is about 12 by 20 ft. with sloped ceilings since it's right under the roof.Since there is foam insulation in the roof, it works well all winter and most of the summer. It can't quite keep up when the outside temp is over 95 degrees. To help it out, I have it taking in room air and exhausting the waste air outside through a vent pipe. That way, it doesn't have to deal with extreme temperature differentials.

I use it in a 12x14 room on the high setting. Note: on the high setting, the surface immediately around the diffuser gets damps so make sure it is not in an area that will be damaged by the moisture.

Not a large room. You need to be fairly close to it. Pretty much like a regular space heater. It's also heavy and doesn't have wheels.

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

It depends on how much moisture you have, but I am using it in a basement room about this size. It works well there.

I'm heat and cooling a 12 x 30 atic room and it does great. The room is well insulated though. Hope this helps.

It will cover a pretty good sized area, provided that you keep the filters clean. I have mine in a room that is about 15' x 20', and it works great.

I live in a small studio loft and have one of these both upstairs and downstairs. I would imagine it will not suffice for a large home, however I feel some humidity supplied is better than none.

This unit will not humidify the area that it claims. It will handle two large rooms at best. If you have 1800 sqft I would recommend getting two units.

I have used it successfully on about 500 sq. ft. Might do more depending on how hot the weather.

My room is 10X12. It has activated well withing that range. Position is key. Placed it in a place were the entrance of room is diagnal from system.

We have not used ours in a large space, but imagine it would work fine in a 100 square foot space. Not sure about 500 though.

Hello Justin. It would depend on the size of the room but it should be sufficient if the room isn't too large. Thanks!

Depends on your climate, concrete slab, insulated floor etc. I have it in a 60 sq. ft bath room works pretty well.

I really think this model is designed for a small space where it works perfectly. I agree with the other two answers to your question and suggest a larger model for a larger space.

I think it may be a bit small for a room that size. We have it in a room just under 100 Sq ft. I would recommend the 60 inch unit.

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.
