Can it also provide supplemental heat to the bathroom?

Yes in the sense that as it heats towels, it warms. Our bath is rather spread out, so,it doesn't heat a lot, but with the doors closed,,it does relieve some chill. We are in mid-Atlantic, not a hard core cold state.

I have a very small bathroom 5 x 10 and it provides very little supplemental. Basically this will only take the chill out of your towels and we leave it on 24/7. There's no 5-10 min warming for us that others have stated. Overall, if doing it over, I'd have spent the money on the nicer Amba's (~3 times).

No, it gets pretty warm but I wouldn't say it is a supplemental heat source.

No, it does not put heat out into the room. And honestly, it takes about 30 minutes to heat a medium weight towel. It's attractive and well made, but I don't think I would buy it again.

We haven't noticed that it adds any appreciable heat to the bathroom. I'm sure it does since it's a hot thing in a cooler room, but it's not something that's been noticeable to us. The towels are quite toasty and warm though!

I would say yes - it does warm up a small bathroom (but not a large Florida room)...and I would never leave it unattended. That being said...does amazing job of dehumidifying these rooms for such a small unit!

We use it as a secondary heat source. It takes the chill out of a small room.

Yes. In fact that was recommended by the electrician who installed it. When you need heat, you need heat. And you always want to be sucking the moisture out of the room. Using both together works perfectly fine for me.

We purchased this heater as a sole supplier of hot water. With the gallons per minute supply it provides, it's more than addequate for our needs. Now, we don't run a shower stall off of it though. So, I wouldn't be a viable source to say this is adequate in that regard.

This unit is made for additional heating for a small area as bathroom using it for a large area that is unheated is a waste of money unit is not made to run 24/7....

Yes you can, it doesn't get hot enough, the heat radiates from the bottom and it is just a nice warm heat, not hot.

Not for us, but we don't need to use it that often. We use it as a supplemental heat source for our bedroom.

It is possible. If you turn it to the max heat temp and use half hot and half cold you will have a very warm bath.

Only the light bulbs produce heat but it is only to heat up the person under the bulbs, if you want to heat up the bathroom it would be better to use a regular electric heater.

Can this unit be used in a bathroom which includes a shower (and thus a certain amount of humidity)?
1473020
Yes it can. I have used it to do that in my main bathroom. It does tend to overheat, but other then that it is great. Its light weight makes it easy on the arms as well.

I would think it could....its a powerful little heater. When I put it on low my living room and dining room combo gets almost too hot.
1748144
No it does not. It doesn't know how hot to make the room. You can turn it off, if it gets too hot. IMO, the best place for this is in a bathroom, where you want to it be warmer to begin with or under a badly insulated window, where the rising heat offsets the drafty air.

In our opinion, it works well as an additional heating unit in a hard to heat space. We use it in our playroom which is a large room that is an addition to our house that has only 2 vents providing heat from our house unit. It can raise the temperature several degrees in our large space pretty quickly but would not be adequate as the only heating source.

There are separate functions in this fixture. The fan part removes humidity/odors like any bath fan would, and then there are two light bulbs which also can be heat lamps if you wish or not...depending on what you want. The heat lamp does heat up the area pretty well if the bath isn't too big.

I believe another heat source would be needed, especially during cool weather.
