Would it be okay to use in an outdoor room that has open walls, but full covered ceiling?

I have all mine outdoors in the stables. They are under cover but exposed to the south Florida air. The finish holds up very well, but the bearings only last about one year for me, but that is running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Also, the metal blades can be a hazard so make sure they are up out of reach.

I really like it, but wouldn't recommend using it for anything other than a ceiling application.

I believe that it could be used outdoors, provided it did not get wet, and was in a open ceiling or wall socket, as its not really designed for an enclosed lamp, etc.

Mine is mounted to an outside wall. But if it was mounted on a ceiling, I am quite sure the louvers would "fall" into the open position.

I would say that would work quite well. These things are suppose to work up to 500 cubic feet and you probably will be using it in a room about 1176 cubic feet (assuming your ceiling height is 8 foot). If it doesn't buy another. They are inexpensive enough. That's what I am planning to do if need be

I use it in a bar area with 10 ft ceilings which also opens to a large dining area and kitchen, open concept and they are ore than sufficient. So my answer is yes.

I use mine inside for decorative lights in a bay window. As far as outside use I would say no.

I use mine in my garage above the door to the house. The garage doors are open but on windy days it is not really effective. I don't think it would work in an open-air area.

Definitely. Ours is used in our large carpeted family room that has vaulted ceilings. We haven't even tried it outside yet.

I've been able to use these on my outdoor deck, but I would only do so if there is minimal moisture and the light fixture is covered.

I have mine in an upstairs bedroom that is about 12 by 20 ft. with sloped ceilings since it's right under the roof.Since there is foam insulation in the roof, it works well all winter and most of the summer. It can't quite keep up when the outside temp is over 95 degrees. To help it out, I have it taking in room air and exhausting the waste air outside through a vent pipe. That way, it doesn't have to deal with extreme temperature differentials.

If you have space with higher ceilings, you could use inside. The blower sounds like an old box style fan on high.

Yeah, if the wire box is slanded too, you shouldn't have a problem. You will just affix the ceiling cover accordingly.

No, it's safe to use in a closed space. We use it to heat the garage when I'm working on a project.

I love it in my sons bedroom ! I don't see why you couldn't use it in a covered patio, I think it would show the dust because of the color but that's about it...

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.

I would say for an enclosed area that one may well do the trick. You might have to cycle it several times to fill the room and it should linger fairly well i would think. My application and review were based on an open air/yard environment. This one should do you just fine but shop for price. This one is a base model so I'm sure it could be had cheaper.
