How consistent is the temperature? I'm looking for a heater that is very reliable in holding the exactly temperature it's set to.

I would say it's pretty good. I set the temp and once it reaches it, it will stay on it. Another great Model is the CC13652 that I just bought for my office.

You can use the up arrow to "set" the temperature higher, but the heater may not be capable of achieving a higher temperature in your room. It sounds like your space is too cold and/or too big for the heater to handle it. If it runs constantly and never shows a temperature higher than 58, then that is probably as high as it can manage.

I use the heater in my home and have a thermometer mounted on the wall in the far corner of a 14 x 27 room that ajoins a 12 x 16 dining room. I have the thermostat on 2 while I'm away and the temp is around 68 degrees. It depends on how well it's insulated and drafts etc. I've only had it for a week, but man it cranks out some heat. Hope this helps.

I had to ask the manufacturer the same question and the reply was "yes, on at 32* and off at approximately 45*" It is interesting that in none of their literature is this mentioned. I'd think that might be something a potential buyer might like to know. I have not verified the temperature range but this is what I was told by the manufacturer. So far however the heater is doing it's job very nicely.

We have a similar sized area and purchased this heater recently. As a sole heating source it would not be able to maintain the typical house hold temp average of 72. But as a heater to assist a main furnace it will work great. We pulled our thermostat down to 53 and use the heater to warm the rooms the rest of the way to 72. This has helped us cut costs on our propane bill. This is with the temp of -20 or lower at night as we live in WI and had a very cold winter.

It is difficult to determine, the temp on the front of the heater is the desired temp of the room. I set my heater 2 degrees above my heat pump thermostat. The heat pump does not come on. I had trouble with my humidifier unit, called customer service and had a new one in 3 days. I am very satisfied with it. My son bought one too.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

I also have electric, and once you get your temperature adjusted it works just fine. It's just a little trickier adjusting the temp with electric because, at least with my stove, the heat switches are staged rather than infinite. Short answer? I got good results with electric.

yes, after awhile, the sensor in the temp probe goes bad. It reads the water temperature at lower than it really is and thus the heater overheats. You can adjust downward the temperature to compensate, BUT THE SETTING RESETS TO 79 F EVERY TIME THERE IS A POWER FAILURE so you could end up overheating your tank anyway. Avoid. Right now, 79F setting for me = 89F actual water temperature!

The setting for temp are actual degrees. It comes with the dial and the heater, but it does not let you know the current temature of your bed though but honestly it works pretty good we keep ours at 74 bc I like my bed a little chilly. Hopes this helps

although a great heater, I have found the digital thermostat to not be very accurate. I have learned to set it seeing what a regular thermometer shows ad then making the adjustment. Also, one of by biggest gripes with this heater is the thermostat does not work on the low setting only on the 1500 watt setting.

I purchased this heater about a year ago after much debate. I have been very pleased with it even on the days of -20 degrees Fahrenheit here in South Dakota. Did make one slight modification that has helped greatly. I bypassed the turn dial heat control and ran it to a thermostat. Very inexpensive modification and well worth it. I have an oversized double garage with 10' ceilings. Hope this helps.

Definitely ! I use one just like this in my small livingroom that has a wood floor, and on the 800 watt setting it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the temperatures drop down in the 20's. It will keep the temperature at about 66 to 67 degrees which is just fine for me :) It beats the high electricity bills I get if I were to use the walls heaters my home came with ! Just make sure you set it out in the open so it can work properly, and not right up close to you ! If I need a little extra up close heat I just use my heated electric throw/blanket. When your on a fixed income, this heater will take care of you ! Definitely !

I've been using this heater for months and I can truly say it has been working amazingly good. It is built of quality and keeps the temperature stable, even when doing water changes. It turns on and off by itself, so you don't have to worry about the water being too cold or too hot. I just love it.

Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review. My answer is ---with the ceramic one I bought/returned you can choose any temp. The problem is it doesn't keep it. I choose 68 and it would climb 74+ and go way below the 68 before turning on. I believe there is something you call this. Basically you choose a temp and there is a high and a low. Some are more fine tuned and have a smaller variance. Lasko apparently has a large variance. That's my word it may not be the correct word but I hope you get what I am saying. I don't know where in the specs to find this variance from heater to heater. But it is reason I returned the heater. No other reason. Strange Amazon would ask me to reply. I left a negative review.

We love ours. It heats the area well. We keep it between 1&2 most of the time keeping our heat at about 70 degrees. We love in northern Maine where temps have been -20 and up to -40 on a pretty regular basis and it has been extremely reliable. I haven't let the temperature get down to 45 to test that theory.
