I rent and our living room is roughly 20' X 20' with VERY poor insulation. Would this provide enough heat alone to heat this room?

I didn't have much luck with this product. It did an okay job for a couple of weeks then burnt out. For that time it was okay. My office is 16x24. Back part of the office stayed chilly. Great idea but I'd look for something more durable.

I use it as additional heat for my bedroom to keep it above 70 degrees with the furnace set at 65 degrees and it works great. but i don't think it would heat your room sufficiently without additional heat supplied to the room.

VERY poor insulation is only one factor in understanding room "heat loss" so it is difficult to answer your question specifically. Any heater would be used to compensate for this "heat loss" and provide "enough heat". Given the size of the room, I would think you will see some limited improvement in comfort but it would be difficult for this OR any 1500W heater to sustain a high level of heat comfort IF you have significant heat loss.

For a space of 60 sq ft....I doubt it'll have an immediate warmth impact....You may feel warmth after a few hours of use...If your looking for a high output portable heater...Allow me to suggest "The Big Heater Buddy" ...It'll put out btween 4000-9000 Btu's... Check Cabelas website...The deal with refurbished units....Good Luck.

If you had enough insulation you could heat it with a light bulb. But I am going to say I doubt it would work. It works well to augment the heat in a cold room with bad windows.

it warms our large living/front room. it's about 14'X28'. any bigger, it prob wouldn't reach the whole room.

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.

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

Most definitely. Tops out at 81 degrees, but was a godsend for me and the family when our pipe froze, rending our furnace useless for a few hours. This kept us from freezing and even helped heat a 550 sq ft room up to about 64 degrees from 59 F. It'd do far more in a normal sized bedroom.

I would agree with previous comment...it would create a cozy area but will not heat the entire garage

I use the Duraflame Electric Fireplace to warm my living room which is about a 20' x 20' area.

I have a large living room, dining room, kitchen combo and another 10 x14 room off of the dining room. All connected. The heater does work well down into the 30s but it runs all the time. It doesn't put out a large amount of heat but it keeps the main living room cozy. It would have to be a smaller area to make it get too hot. It will not replace your furnace but it does help to keep the furnace from coming on as much. I had a 4 element heater but returned it right away and bought this product instead.

I use it to heat a room of about 15' x 20' in size. It does just fine, when it is real cold outside (10 degrees or 22 degrees below freezing) it takes a while to reheat it up after a weekend or not using it a few days.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Heater. We have a 400 sq ft living room in a drafty, old house. We didn't have to turn it up higher than the first setting and the whole living room was warm and comfortable. Just make sure it is well ventilated.

I thought mine worked well. The size of the room and its insulation make a big difference. The most effective for me was using it to heat our 12x14' master bedroom at night, and we kept the door to the rest of the house closed. With just the wall panel, the bedroom would get too warm and we'd have to turn off the heat during the night, which was great!

I use it in a 10x20 room that has no insulation (1934 house) and it does great! It doesn't make the room hot but it definitely takes the chill off. I already bought another one for this winter!

I would say no with normally insulated house. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet this fan is. My only disappointment is that I didn't buy a larger size. My shop is 16x20 and this fan has a hard time keeping up with a thermostat set at 85 degrees.

Same square footage as yours. This heater puts out only a mild heat that will dissipate quickly in bigger rooms, with possibly large or multiple windows. The smaller the space the better it works. It struggled to keep up a satisfactory temp in a space the size of ours. High ceilings probably didn't help my situation either. I placed mine in a bit smaller room and it works wonderfully.

I believe that it would do a good job. I would recommend that you try to remedy the drafts. My house is 650 sq. ft. with 10 ft. ceilings. I am very happy with this heater.
