Will this unit operate a small refregerator and a fan? or a heater?

Hi Pamela,I sought out this battery to power a portable pitching machine. It was the only one I could find that had enough power to do so. I have been very happy with it.

It will operate much longer with low watt and amperage devices such as phone chargers 500 watt heaters will work for 2 hours the best thing to do for continuous power is to run solar panels through an inverter to it. Then your sentinel will run a small fridge or heater nearly indefinitely

Hi,Yes this unit has the capability to power the items you've mentioned, but it will simply be a matter of how long and that will depend on the rate of energy being used by the device being powered, a small electric heater has a rather high rate of energy use. Keep in mind the unit is rechargeable, it's a battery based power source, it's extremely portable and quiet. Hope this helps.All the best, Electrovicity

I would recommend that you call the Humless people in Utah. They can give you the technical specifications of the unit. I just wanted it as a backup unit when the electricity goes out. Hope this helps.John

Yes it will but a heater will deplete the power much faster than any other device

Since the unit has a 1,500W heating element, two fans, and two lamps, I would err on the side of prudence and give it its own 20-amp circuit (which, by the way, the specifications in the Amazon product description (http://www.amazon.com/Broan-QTX110HL-Silent-Series-Heater/dp/B000QE7F26/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i).

Not unless you can find a remote thermostat for fan type unit heaters - not sure there is such a thing. Most remote thermostats will cut power to the whole unit without allowing the fan to cool down the element, which will eventually fry the element.

Yes it's a heater and a air conditioner. Not sure the voltage specs exactly but I would google that part to be sure it is what you need voltage wise. Overall a great buy just louder than most units but blows cold and heats the space I needed it for. Hope this helps in your decision making for the unit. Signed: Satisfied customer

The product manual addresses this question. the fan runs, but not the compressor. Not a feature I like, and i probably wouldn't have gotten the unit if i'd know this.

With this wattage you could do a couple of appliances. Like you could keep a fridge and/or freezer going. But you definitely need a bigger unit if you are looking to hook to the house for backup power.

It will run a full size fridge although its not a sine wave inverter and some say the motor in the fridge may not run properly... The fan is like a computer fan you can here it but its not annoying and my inverter is located in the basement so we never hear it....

Depends on pulling amps of your air conditioner. Check your starting amps for the air conditioner. This is nice unit but might be to small

Absolutely you need a small heater. I use a tiny electric heater that is thermostat controlled.

Possibly. I have used mine to run a small portable car refrigerator cooler for a short time and it worked fine. R. Skiba

It will power them but it will probably overheat. I would go with a bigger unit than this.

unit does have a fan only position but does not push a lot of air, would help in small space but I believe their are better options available for cooling. I did just buy this heater this winter though so have not tried it in this type of situation.

No, it will turn on with motion and then go off after a preset time of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, minutes. Not for big loades like heaters, fans.

Yes ...cause you can use it on low and won't have to use the full power of the air conditioning unit... I went from a 8000 but to a 12000btu and on the hottest day its on low plus I keep it on Energy saving mode and I love it ;-) less stress on the unit = a longer usage :-)

No. The fan runs as long as the unit is turned on. For 'this' unit Whynter considers its sleep/economy mode to be the energy saving mode. Please read my review for more information on the Sleep Mode.

It is part of the purifier system. Blue light on left front of unit indicates it is on, however you will not hear the fan run just as you do not hear it until the thermostat kicks in on the heater. If you want to stricktly run it as an air circulation device (room fan) I don't think you'll have much luck. It is tied to the air purifier so may work for circulation as well. Just as a comment, I am more than happy with my unit. It works very well and is safe around my baby grandson.
