Can it keep a 600-700 sq feet living room/kitchen area at 84F (eighty four)?

You would need two separate units on to heat that space that temperature. And if is 30F outside you probably need three units to reach 84F.One unit can compensate for a 10 degrees difference. Meaning if it was 60F outside the heater can bring the inside temp to 70F. Howeverwith two heaters you can compensate for a 30F degree difference. I haven't tried three heaters, only two.

I leave it in a smaller room than that at a lower temp. So, not sure, but I would think so. The real key with this heater is that it is SILENT and automatic. Set it and forget it!

i have had good experience that way, but the thing started leaking oil a few weeks after i received it!!!! do i dare use it. also, if the power goes off it starts at a much higher temperature than i want...in other words it doesn't hold it settings.

That would depend on the outside temperature, height of the ceiling and thickness of home insulation. I turn on air-conditioning when it's 84F outside, so I haven't experimented with heating any room to that temperature, however I can get my similar-sized room with a 12-ft. ceiling (at the peak) up to 70F on a chilly day. I wouldn't want to use these heaters as a main heat source under extreme conditions--at least not for long, and use mine as back-up assistance to our LP gas furnace in winter as well as for taking the chill off on cold spring or fall mornings.

So many variables to consider. If it is a normal room that has 8' ceiling and insulated with no drafts, I would think there is a good chance of it getting to 84 degrees. We use our Honeywell to heat a 38' camper with no problems at all. We used it all winter and was nice and cozy.

Probably not well. Many factors need to be considered such as the ambient temperature and how much you would like to raise it. 1,500 watts or 5120 BTU's per hour would raise your room with average insulation only 10 degrees F. It would make you feel warmer having it next to you while you were out there. Here's a link to an on-line calculator that you might find helpful. http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html

We used it in our home last winter. We have about 1300 sq. Ft. I had no problem with keeping it at 50%. It worked really well.

Depends how far up in Maine you are. I lived in Ct and it kept my small room, about 650 sq ft at 68 degrees easily. The fan only stays on until the unit is cooled. Set it up automatically and don't worry about it. Nice machine

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower.In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

No, I dont think so, we put it in our living room and it barely cools this area, our apartment is 700 sq ft too, and we have this ac in the living area, that is, kitchen, living amd dinning.

This humidifier is good Up To 2200 sq ft. That's in a best case scenario. I installed this in an 1800 sq ft house, and when the temp dips to 10 degrees, it barely makes an "acceptable" 35% humidity. That's in a well insulated house with double pane windows. Humidity seeks its own level. If your older home is not, or not well insisted, and does not have double pane windows, you will lose humidity almost as fast as you can put it in the air. At the very least, the next size up is better for 2000 sq ft., and with the worst cast scenario, something made for 3-4000 sq ft. May be needed, and that's IF your furnace can accommodate it. PS, the golden zone is 40 to 50% percent humidity. Below 40, viruses thrive; above 50, and mold thrives.

My basement area is approximately 650 square feet. Using only two of heating elements keeps the area comfortable. After a short period, have to turn down.

Yes it would heat a 700 sq ft room. I have used ours at the end of a hall way approx 50 feet away from our main heater which is a Monitor oil stove and sits in the living room. I have never checked to see how much less electricity is used in our home but will say, we must lower the heat settings in the living room. We are very satisfied with the lifesmart 1500. Keep in mind that it will take a little time to heat the air in the room but I think its great.

I believe so as if heats my 500 square foot cottage I'm renting in Washington state on the low setting easily. I'm quite sure it can handle a700 square foot basement. Especially if you use the higher setting. The units thermostat is very accurate and will keep the temperature you want. Highly recommended. Hope this helps.

I am not sure..I AM trying to make it heat about 800 sq feet..we will see how sucessful it is when the temp gets sub zero for a length of time..It seems adaquate..

It will cool up to a 400sq. ft. room, which is not at all very big. This unit is horrible and do not make the mistake of buying it. It simply does not cool.

We use it in a bedroom 350 square feet with hardwood floors and it warms the room . Don't know if it would be warm enough on its own for a living area .

I multiplied the two numbers and 625 sq/ft is your footage. I think the heater would be suitable in that kind of space. Make sure you always shut it off outdoors because of some un burnt fumes that will be produced because it's still hot. Then bring it back indoors. It's a great heater! I have 2

I don't think 6 to 7 would work for spacing if you don't want cold spots, we did 4 inch max and seems great - also, make sure you measure your total square footage. We ran short because we needed 150 sq ft heated and it didn't cover that. We didn't have enough to do our eating area and had to stop at just the kitchen.

I think it may be a bit small for a room that size. We have it in a room just under 100 Sq ft. I would recommend the 60 inch unit.

I think that it is recommended for 700 sq ft. but I am able to heat 1000 sq. ft. easily by placing it in a central part of the house (wall mounted) and using ceiling fans reversed in the more distant rooms. I am using natural gas so not sure if that makes any difference or not but I highly recommend this heater.
