is this a fan forced air unit or just a radiant heater?

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.

Yes, it does have a small fan. I guess I should have said that, but thought it would be inferred from my comments about the unit being relatively quiet. It does not move a lot of air, but does push the heat out a good 8 feet or so. It only takes about 15 minutes to heat up my living room (16'x20'+/-) from below 60 to near 68 when I get home at night.

It's not a heater, only an oscillating fan with a wireless remote control. I like it a lot, especially the remote! See the other 2 answers also.

This is not a heating unit. It is a dehumidifier which takes moisture out of the air.

Yes, the unit has FAN ONLY option. Keep in mind that vents are facing upward.

It is a heat lamp/bulb, but there is a fan (whether switched on or not) that helps circulate the heat.

It's a passive heat source. Surface warms up very nicely. I see no fan. The knob at the top has three positions: Off, Footrest, Panel. I've had it on Footrest all the time. I switched it moments ago and cannot tell the difference. The visual by the control knob seems to indicate the flow of heat is different but I cannot tell. I would not recommend this for your need. I think you need a heater with a fan/blower of some sort. I use this footrest for quiet warmth on my tootsies. When I need more heat, I turn on a small ceramic "disk" heater with an adjustable fan/blower that does a great job. It's a passive heat source. Surface warms up very nicely. I see no fan.

Yes, the fan blows air through the heating element and that's how the heat is distributed.

It is a central fan that forces air through three filters. I think it consumes about 40w so it generates less heat than a light bulb

Sorry I can't really help you. No where does it say. I checked a number of other fan heaters and they all just say "fan heater." I can see between the slots in the fan that there are wire but they don't get red like the infrared wired do. But I do like the heater except I wish it was quieter. Sorry I can't help.

fan is to exhaust heat from bulb and with duct directed. light can run without fan. bulb last longer supposedly

The fan is not that forceful blowing out heat. It does however pack a punch and heats a large master bedroom without a problem at all. I have two fireplaces and they virtually hear the upstairs. My heating costs have dropped bout 20 percent since purchasing them.

The heater and fan are part of the security camera housing in the unit . If they are bad replace the whole unit again or find another manufacturer that makes the same type of product.

No. It uses the fan to move the air over the heating elemens to blow warn air, and beleive it or not, to also cool the heating coils so they don't over heat and cause the unit to shut down because of it getting to hot.

It's just a fan. The temperature I get out of it depends on the temperature of the airflow. It keeps me from sweating so that's enough for me.

As another user pointed out in their review there are actually 2 electrical resistive heating coils in the unit besides the one quartz tube. The fan would be required because it has those 2 electrical resistive heating coils.

Uhh, its not a heater. The air coming out will not be warmer than the air going in. Its just a fan. Like any fan - box, oscillating, stand or what have you, it simply moves the air in the room around.
