Heat will radiate thru room, but heaters with built in fan would do better.

It mostly heats the space in front of it. But will warm up the room when it is turned on long enough.

My den is approx 15X18. I have mine mounted on the wall and it keeps my room very comfortable. I am very satisfied.

It heats the whole room through radiant heat, that is, there is no blower but ceramic tiles that collect then radiate.

This infrared heater heats objects and the objects in turn radiate that heat into the air.

It just puts out heat. You have to buy a separate thermostat if you need one. It is save to touch, but too hot to touch for long.

Yes it does. Also, keep an eye on your electrical outlet and the plug. If they get hot put on lower heat setting. If it is already on low setting, unplug it and move it to another outlet until you find one that runs cool or warm. I found out I had some bad electrical outlets using this heater and possibly inadequate wiring. Another thing, I bought 4 of these heaters and 2 of them after about 2 weeks started humming/vibrating and rotating counter-clockwise. Good luck with yours.

Hello! It doesn't seem to heat the room at all. As for energy consumption, I am afraid that I don't know. This is a very powerful and relatively quiet unit.

My son gave me one of these that he wasn't using, and I just set it up. Jon Shops is correct. When the heat part shuts off, so does the fan. This is a heater only; if you want something to cool the room, this is not it.

No it does not. It doesn't know how hot to make the room. You can turn it off, if it gets too hot. IMO, the best place for this is in a bathroom, where you want to it be warmer to begin with or under a badly insulated window, where the rising heat offsets the drafty air.

It is radiant heat (Quartz and Convection Radiant Heater), there is no fan. I am sitting in front of it now. Have had it since November and I am still very happy with it. I heat a small, well insulated, room with it (no other heat source in this room).***Watch my other electric appliances and lights to balance the cost of running the heater.******http://www.conservingelectricity.com/ElectricSpaceHeaters.asp*** Working out well. Hope this helps.

Nope. Neither. It just heats until you don't want it to heat any more... (Although I was using it in our basement when the ambient temperature was in the 40's... so it wouldn't have had much opportunity to get over heated.) The on/off switch does light up when it is on, so even though the heater's blower is very quiet, you can tell that it is ON.

I don't believe it is meant to heat up a room so much as place on a desktop and keep you warm. This is how I use it and it works very well. It is small and takes up little space . It only has ON or OFF settings.

The heater has two power levels. When you turn it on lo, a fan comes on but I really don't feel that it is forcing air out of the heater. I think it may be a fan that is keeping the internal components from getting to warm. I bought one last year and like it so well that I got another recently. Of all the brands that I have tried, this one is the one I can recommend and the one I like the best.

From my recollection it gets warm but not hot. The heater blows out the bottom of the unit.

Yes all the heat is blown out the front by a fan and the top never heats up. My wife has candles, pictures and cuttings on the top of our Duraflame.

Not for our space. (Sunroom). It will heat that space quickly and if we leave the door open it heats the living room

There is no fan on the heaters, they work by convection meaning the cold air enters the bottom of the heater and the warm air exits the top. If the heater is sized big enough for the room there won't be a need for a fan. The natural movement of the air will heat the room.

My XL heater cabinet does not get hot, nothing gets hot that i know of on the furnace, the heat warms the air and furniture ....got one for my granddaughter's room, she's 4, I have found to be very safe! However, I would not put my finger on the heater front port, don't know if it is hot or not....re emergency, i would turn it off with the remote

It heats more than it says.. It puts out plenty of heat without a blower...This type of heat heats everything around it. Its the best I ever had.

It appears to me that the unit heats an area of square footage. Its not directional.
