I am currently using it to warm a 300 sq ft office....and it is more than adequate! I expect it would do a great job in your baby's room.

If the area you are trying to heat is not a room open to other room (example, bedroom with door closed), the heater should heat between 750 sq. ft. and 900 sq. ft. If the room is open to other rooms, the heater cannot keep the entire area heated, but can keep area around the heater out to near the minimum (750 sq. ft) warm. Hope this answers your question.

Oh yes, but I don't think you want to keep it on long or it will really get very hot in room. When I turn mine on at lowest setting for around 5-7 minutes the room-about 400 sq ft- is well warm enough to turn it off. Also the first setting-didn't know this-cools, then second and third heat. Will work for me quite well living in hot climate but with cold Winters. Very pleased with it. One thing also is it MUST be on flat surface, not carpet or it goes off. They call it a safety feature and it's on the bottom if not connected to hard surface constantly, goes off. So I set it bit higher on wooden stool and works fine.

We use ours to heat a 500 sq ft space and it does the job. Hope this helps.

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

If you leave it on all the time, it will keep a small to medium sized room fairly warm. It will not heat a room right away or keep a room warm if its really cold. The one issue I have with this heater is that it cracked after normal usage.

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

How did the two heaters work out? I'd imagine it to work well, depends on total square footage, yet Im not too sure how it will match up against two 1500 watt heaters.The thing I did like about this heater is that it doesn't dry out the air, and also has temp settings. If the area is a medium space, you should be fine.

Unless you live in the south this heater can not be a main source of heat in the room. I use it keep bedrooms warm during the winter time in addition to HVAC. You use it as a main source of heat if you put two-three of these in your room. I have a neighbor who uses two heaters for his living room.

I used Mr. Heater in an area approx. 400 square feet. After about 40 minutes I had to turn it way down. I would say this would heat an area at least twice that size, to a comfortable temp.

I have 1200 sq feet and it does the job. I keep it in center of my home and while the living room and kitchen are nice and toasty the outer rooms are a bit cooler. That would be on the lowest setting. On that low setting a 20 lb tank will last me five days. Yes it has a blower but if the power goes down the unit still works vary well. I have not been sorry that I bought this heater. It has been a good preformer. I would add that I live in the mountains of Arizona and we see our fair share of snow and cold but in my home I am cozy and warm.

The heating capabilities are good for my 500 s f game room, but 1200 might be too much area. Are the rooms well insulated? Would you have to leave the unit on overnight? How cold are we talking? I would say that it would WARM it, but not really HEAT it.

Rated for 1000 sq feet but I am not sure how warm it could keep a room of that size. I am using to heat an office area within a larger room and it works well.

I bought it from Target too and its thermostat is not reliable. I set it at 70, put it high where the warmest and it keep running even the room is at 80, I even put another thermostat next to it to make sure - But it keep running. I would not suggest it for baby room at all.

Regret that i cannot answer that question. We live in a 26,000 sq foot school house with no central heat. We use a woodburner in the kitchen and use our fabulous Dr. Infrared Heater in the library which is 1250 square foot. We operate it all day,everyday and I have it on one temperature and have not changed it so far because it keeps this room livable. Maybe you could call the manufacturer. I do not know what the situation is for other people using this product but know it has been so helpful to us with this really cold winter this year.

That's a lot of space for this heater or any space heater in the 1500 watt range. Don't think this heater will keep your garage very warm.

The heater works great. The room we have it in is about 300 square feet. It heats that room nicely and then some.
