Does this tend to quickly heat a room? How far away from the unit can you stand and still feel the heat blowing out of it?

If you're crawling on the floor, you can feel the heat about 6 feet away. It takes about half hour to heat my underground office, but then it stays comfortable as long as I have it on. Besides, the fake flame makes the room look cozy.

It worked okay for about a month, then stopped completely. While it worked, you could feel the heat a few feet away. It didn't suit my needs in a room that has no insulation, it couldn't heat up enough of it when it was cold out. But even so, it stopped working way too soon! Don't waste your money!

Since our cat plants in front of the unit, it is hard to say but I think you can feel the actual heat blowing up to 4 ft away. Further you feel something, but not as direct. It takes the chill off our large tiled north-facing kitchen. While the heating aspect is good, I am most impressed by how real it looks. It warms up the feeling of a room!

It heats up pretty quickly and does a nice job heating a room. The fan is quiet. We like it so much we also bought an electric fireplace insert (another brand). The fan on it is much noisier and it does not heat up as fast. As far as how far the dimplex blower-- I don't know---6-8 feet maybe.

My room is 20 by 12. The heater will raise the temp from 50 to 68 in about an hour and a half and maintains that temp with no problem, turning itself on and off to maintain constant temp.

Standard bedroom takes 30 minutes to warm 10 degrees. need to be within 4 feet of heater for it to feel nice and warm

It heats a small room very quickly. I would say about 4 feet away. We put our original one up on four house bricks so not all the heat is wasted at floor level. Mind sound crazy but we think it works better that way especially as it is on a carpeted floor.

If The room Temperature starts at about 60° it will heat the room about 2° an hour. You can feel the heat blow About 2 feet away from it. I use two heaters to heat my thousand square-foot home

Not that I'm aware of. I imagine if you knew what you were doing, you might somehow override the settings and stop the fan - but I don't see why you would want to when it so effectively projects the heat outward in order to quickly heat an area. Without the fan, the heat would largely remain localized, so anyone/anything more than a foot or two away wouldn't feel it.

Fan strength is good. If you get about 3 or 4 feet away you don't feel much heat. But I live in Vermont and I use 2 of these to heat my 1100 square foot house and it has been well below zero for a few weeks and they keep up pretty well.

I have this in my living room and it is actually quiter than the 800 sq foot one I have in my bedroom. Though to be honest I would get one of the smaller ones that are much cheaper for your bedroom. This unit puts off surprisingly little heat considering it claims to be for 2000 sq feet, I hear good things about the Dr. Infrared Heater 1500 sq ft one, but I don't own one of those so I can't personally attest to it.

yes but it's not very good at heating the room up unless you're 2 feet away ...

Ours, ceiling mounted, runs quite warm. I second the recommendation to use standoffs to increase airflow around the unit. I suspect that will help it last longer.

No there is no heat given off by the unit. The air return is cool and the unit is cool to touch.

AYes, I think it would work for you as it is not a whole room heater with blower. It is a kind of oscillating heat lamp with coils; it heats whatever is close to it. In my case, in order to feel the heat, it has to be propped approximately 3" and under away from me.

Surprisingly, no. Initially, I installed it in a cabinet with a sound science 2-speed fan on top that pushed any generated heat out the back, but I never really got an impression of extreme heat. Great unit by the way!

Yes, but it's kind of interesting. You don't exactly feel a blast of warm air, like you'd expect. It kind of magically circulates the air in the room and warms it up quite effectively, but the movement of air is not like a fan or forced air unit. But make no mistake: It does the job.

It is a fan forced unit. It will blow out about 8 to 10 feet. This heater is quit a work horse. On high it really heats quick. On low it will maintain. Not sure what the power consumption is yet, as we have only had this heater about one month. Hope this helps.

range? it warms up the whole room , prety fast,and not a small room,about 12"x18"

It blows reasonably hard. I can feel warm air on high when I hold my hand about 3 1/2 feet from the blower when it's on high. When it's on low, I can feel warm air about 18" from the blower..

Mine started sending heat immediately, but I don't use it often as it's in my utility room. When I turned it on I feltnheat right away while I stood underneath it.

Not sure what you mean exactly by the question. I haven't had a chance to use the heating unit. It all depends on the size of the space as well. I do think it's a very effective unit and worth the price, but it's not as quiet as I hoped it would be.

Of course the area that the heat is coming out of is hot, but the rest of the heater is cool to the touch. I love this heater. You can put it right next to the wall with no issues. It really heats up a room. You will not be disappointed. Two thumbs up.

I just tried the fan, I can feel it strongly up to 16 inches away and can still feel it up to 24 inches away. The higher the heat the slower the fan. Hope this helps
