Does this heat a California King? I see this is only 120 watt. I have a 300 watt one now that does not heat the bed.

Hi, we have a 82 X 72 inch mattress with a duvet. Have not had a problem, dial has lots of extra space and has maintained a constant tempiture. Would recommend this product. Cheers Glenn

I have not had any issues keeping my bed warm. This is a very high quality heater, I would suggest purchasing a faucet adapter from lowes or home depot and filling the bladder with warm or hot water to begin with. This will make the bed comfortable to sleep on immediately, and reduces the strain on the heater from running constantly for 4 or 5 days to heat the mattress. I think that the 24 hour running to initially heat the bladder is when you cause issues later on.

This size heater is for a soft side, mid fill waterbed that looks like a regular mattress. If you have a wooden framed waterbed (hardside) you'll need a 300 Watt heater. If your existing 300 Watt heater is not doing the job, it is probably defective.

I really don't know what the difference is with a California king bed and a king. I assumed a king bed was a king bed. Sorry wish I could be more help.

I tried using mine in a 15 x 18 bedroom, and it did nothing unless I put it about 2 feet from the bed. The problem is that the heat is not strong enough to rise. So if you put it in on the floor, your feet will be warm but the rest of you won't. The bright light was also too distracting for me to sleep. I've only found that this heater warms a *very* small room, like a 6 x 4 guest bathroom, and only keeps a person warm if they sit level and within a 2-3 feet radius from the heater. Hope this helps. I say save your money and buy something else. I had better luck carrying a hot water bottle around and curling up in a blanket.

Not familiar with the CA. law. This is an overhead heater for (in my opinion) short term use warming a bathroom. Has 2 250 watt infra red bulbs. Does a good job of warming a small room for a shower.......

Works great in California. 110 heat is no prob but this will be my first winter coming up. If it's covered from rain and built into one of the house walls I would give it a shot.

I use it to keep my garage warm and even with the brutal winter that we've had so far, I've had no problem keeping comfortable. My intent was not to have the garage as warm as my house, but to keep it comfortable to work in. If you want this to heat a family room, then you'll have absolutely no problem doing it with this unit. I have the 3000 watt heater running on 240V. If you can, you might consider a smaller (1500W) unit with a supplementary baseboard heater. Likely a bit more economical to run. But to answer your question - yes, this unit will do a nice job for your family room. Hope this helps.

Yes but if it's like the one I ordered it won't get above 82 degrees. I had mine installed for four weeks and it never got above 82. I returned it and got a 300 watt it got to 90 degrees in two days.

The unit has a 4 position rotary switch: off, fan, low, and high. Based on my experience i find no difference between low and high and a 12x12 room would be the max I try to keep the chill off. Max is probably 1500 watts as advertised but I'vr had more expensive cermac 1500 watt heaters that would heat a larger area. I'd call this a heater and those units a ceramic furnace. I hope thay helps

Sorry Ronnie I returned that product. It wasn't the proper heater for my bed. I have a king size hard side water bed. And to my understanding that heater goes to a soft side waterbed. Hope any of this information helps you

No. A California King is longer and narrower than a regular king. We had to buy this bed because we mistakenly bought a regular king mattress, only to find that it didn't fit our old bed!

I live in Southern California(Hot, so I don't use it often) but from what I can tell it is not a power hog. It will only heat a small room so don't buy it to heat a large communal room. I bought it to heat the bathroom when I use it during winter.

The description says that you can use it for California King, however, I do not know if your bed is different than any other standard bed. If your bed has box spring foundation and mattress, then it should be fine. I love my frame. So easy to put together. I hope this helps.

About 1700 BTU. It must be hardwired to a 240volt supply. Hope this helps you. King used to make a portable 120volt heater. You might try their website King-electric.com for more info

No. It has a 60 watt limit. I knew that before buying. It is still a great fan for the price. I am very pleased

No, at maximum power it only uses 105 Watts of power. It is designed to warm and dry towels. Think of it like trying to use a 100 Watt Incandescent light bulb to heat the room, the result will not be noticable. To help heat the room you need at least a 750 watt or higher heat source (ideally 1250 to 1500 watts).

Mine had 300 watt on it. Its in a three bulb fixture with 100 watt bulbs, not even warm after 5 mins.

These chinese units dont hold up, aka junk. Mine last less than one month in southern California winter weather. I then went with King and made in the USA. So far works great. If you have 220 volts, then it would work but not in the window. Quite fan. I have the Pic-A-Watt by King and it cost the same as the junk stuff.
