how much space does it heat?

This one is very small I wouldn't get it. Get the stand up fan one or the fireplace one those work much better and heat up a whole room worth the extra in price I didn't care for this one that much

It does not heat the air. It will only heat objects and human parts [say legs, for instance] that are in the trajectory of the dish, say within 3-5 feet.It's perfect to keep my legs warm while I am sitting at my desk. You cannot regulate the heat. When it gets too warm I turn it off for a bit and when I feel cold again I turn it on again. It works immediately. I guess it would be good to turn it on briefly when you get out of the shower, for instance, if your apartment is not warm enough; but you have to stand right in front of it to enjoy its benefits. It will not warm up your bathroom before you get in there, but it will melt [or burn] your shower curtain for instance, if placed too close to it. It does not heat the air.

It will not heat an entire room. I have used another Parabolic Heater to provide heat to me, not the entire room. If I am sitting, I point it in my direction. USING A DIFFERENT MODEL, I have lowered or raised the heat setting to suit my comfort. You cannot do this for individuals when you use a whole room heater. If you move to another area, take it with you and plug it in. The cost savings is.... you are not heating the entire home nor the entire room. You only heat the area immediately around your body.

...IF it works, a 5-6 ft. square area. The first one worked for a year. The second, which I just bought, does not work at all, not from day one, but I bought itin July, never tried it till now, and it's too late to return it. I emailed the mfg. and they ignored me.

It really only hears the space you're sitting in when it's next to you . It doesn't heat a room per say. I live alone so it's perfect....it wouldn't throw enough heat for a second person.

Not much...It's more a heater to direct heat towards a direction (Like towards you in a small room)...I use it in a garage bathroom that is unheated. I have it sitting near the sink/toilet and have it plugged into a temperature switch which would kick on the power when it gets to about 35F. Have used it for three years like this and have not had any problems with the plumbing/toilet freezing in the winter and the garage does get down below freezing in in the winter so it appears to be doing it's job. When I go out into the garage in the winter I use another heater to heat the garage and I plug this small radiant heater in directly to the power rather than through the temperature switch and it heats the small bathroom in the garage while I'm there but the bathroom only measures about 4x8 foot. There are larger radiant type heaters that do heat larger rooms. Our church used a larger one to heat a room in the winter but it would take a good while before the room was heated. This heater is only for a small space or to direct heat toward you in an already heated room which just needs a little more help.

300 watts power, it will heat the foot space under a desk very good , in a large open room it will heat anything 2 or 3 feet directly in front of it with radiant

I use it in a three car garage(720 sq ft) to take the chill off when I'm working out there. It works out quite well for me. I like it and myself I think it would heat a 20x13 room.

It is being used in a room that is approx 250 square feet. The unit heats the entire room and keeps it warm with little trouble. I believe it is rated for 400 square feet.

basically takes up only 1 cubic foot of space!...but heats up my 24 X 16 shop great with no insulation..40 degrees outside ..turn it onand it will get my shop up to 80 degrees in an hour!..great heater!

Quite minimal. I also have a halogen lamp and it produces much more heat. Hope this helps!

It works wonderfully with plenty of space around it. It will get too hot in an enclosed area. Also, uses 110 plug and needs to stay balanced.

Depends on a lot of factors, especially insulation but assuming its well insulated I'd say a 10x10 room would be a max size. It's more of a supplementary heat than a main heater... unless you're heating a dog house! ;)

I have not measured how many watts it is, but I can tell you that you can put your habnd right next to it and it's not hot at all. I do not recommend that you buy this unit. It does not get hot at all. Barley warm. The only good thing is the way it looks. Don't buy it. Spend your money somewhere else. I hope that helps.

It doesn't heat much especially if it's really cold outside. I am disappointed in this heater. I use it to heat my bathroom. It seems to take forever to reach the temp set in an average size room. Can't give you exact sq. footage. I would send it back but it's too late.

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.

My heater has been great so far. I've owned it for about a year and use it to heat my family room (20 x 13 ft). It keeps the room quite comfortable, but don't know how much energy it actual uses---just know that I rarely have to turn on my house heater which saves money.

Approximately 12 inches by 12 inches. Heats really well and will automatically turn off when warm enough. Also has a fan to use without heat if needed. This will shut off if tipped over. Very quiet. I love this heater and heats a room very quickly.

I have this unit in my office. When I want it to really continously heat the room if I'm just cold from sitting so long, I turn the dial 3/4 of a turn and it runs and fills the room with warm air. I have experienced absolutely no problems with it running continously, warming the room, which is about 11 x 9. This unit is quiet, very slim profile and a very sufficient way to heat this small area. Great purchase, very satisfied.

Mine heats my 2 car garage in the dead of mid Atlantic winter to be very comfortable. If the heater is pointed your direction, you can feel the heat directly from the heater from at least 20 feet away.The heated air from about 20 feet away is probably about 3 feet wide.

We have it in our bathroom in the basement and it heats it up really good. I would say you can feel it 3 to 5 feet away. I have had it for years and really like it for where we have it.

I'm not sure up to how many square feet it warms, but I have had it in a room that was 400 square feet and one that was 600 square feet, both rooms were kept very comfortable. I like that it is small and it has low and high. It kept each room nice and warm and wasn't loud.

I am heating my bathroom with it (90 sqft). Our place is well insulated and it usually doesn't get below 40 degrees here so that would be the qualifier. Doug Doyle
