Does this unit contain a thermostat. That is, will it shut itself off when the room temperature reaches a specific temp, and will it turn back on?

YES THIS UNIT HAS A THERMOSTAT, USE A WALL THERMOMETER AND THE KNOB ON THE LEFT SET TEMPERATURE .Turn the left KNOB fully counter clockwise, then turn the KNOB clockwise in 1/4 turn increments, stopping each time to allow room temperature to stabilize, check WALL THERMOMETER until desired temperature is reached. Leave the KNOB where it is and every time the Heater is turned on it will heat your room to the desired temperature set previously.

Yes, as a matter of fact it does. My unit, which runs very quietly by the way, will run for awhile and then the heating element shuts itself off (however the flames stay on). After awhile the heating element comes back on. There are two knob located inside the glass front door. The one on the left controls the heat, the one on the right controls the flame effect's brightness. I've owned five electric stoves in the past 10 years (four are still running) and this red Duraflame is my second favorite. I really like the color and size.

No. There is only a thermostat that turns off the heat when a certain room temperature is reached...

It does have a thermostat, so it will turn off when the air around the unit reaches the set temperature, but, it will continue to run and blow heat as long as it needs until it reaches the temperature you set it to. This unit was a workhorse when I first got it, its only now that I've had a problem.

Yes, this heater does turn on and off and keeps temps regulated. Plus you can see the temp and set the temp that you want. In hot weather (if your house gets hot) you may have to pull back on the temp and visa versa if your house is cold but it does a great job. Best small heater I've ever purchased.

I believe it does, then turns back on when the temp drops. However, I use mine in a chicken coop with ventilation, an open pop door and occasionally open windows for extra ventilation, just to keep the coop above freezing. So the "entire" coop never reaches the temp I have it set on. Just the immediate area.

Does it just stop completely or go into a cooler hibernation mode ? Once my unit hits the room temp that it is set on, it seems to shut off. But it actually goes to a cooler temp and a low fan speed. I first thought it shut off but it just adjusts to the room temp being met. If you turn the thermostat up, it goes back into high heat or low heat, what ever you had the temp set on.

It does have an internal thermostat but I don't know what the turn on/off temperatures are.

Yes. It has a thermostat and when it reaches the temperature you've set, it turns off.

No, it doesn't have a thermostat . It operates 10 to 20 degrees above room temp when engaged, or so the info says.

The heat coils and fan will turn off when the room reaches the desired temp. There is also a fan-only setting that will run if you just need a fan.

No it does not. This unit is powered from the source just like the Thermostat in your home which is usually 24 v ac. This unit is basically a switch with no electronic parts inside. It does not care if it is AC or DC. The Temp controls the on and off of the furnace. This is basically a temperature sensitive spring inside the thermostat. This is as basic as it gets. It works for sure.

No thermostat, but it's temp is variable. I used it on a sheet rock job and it worked very well. Once the room got hot, I turned it down on low and maintained the temp.

No, the heater does not turn off once the room reaches the designated temperature. I'm happy to hear your heater works. My heater stopped working.

Yes it does but it remains hot for a long time. It stays hot until you unplug it. I am really not happy with this unit as it has no temperature control. Look for a different model. Temp control is essential.

No. I was very disappointed that when the unit is turned off that it goes back to the default temp of 75 degrees. In addition, it seemed to overheat.

It does not actively cool the air like an air conditioner would. Instead, it will automatically shut off if the air temperature reaches the threshold temperature you set.Example: You go to bed and it's 78 degrees, so you run your fan to cool you off. A few hours later, it drops to 74 degrees (the set threshold), so the fan shuts it self off.I'm not sure if it will turn back on if the temperature goes above the selected threshold.

yes. I haven't used it much since I bought it just before summer. Having said that, the few times I have used it , it's been excellent and did shut off at a given temp. I use it in a bathroom. perfect for a small room. hope this helps, Beth
