I have a low power heater (Lasko 101 My Heat Personal Heater) that draws 200W of power. It would be running 12 hours straight. Is this suitable ?

That's taking it right to the edge. You might want to get one with a little more capacity.

It should work without problems. When traveling overseas, I use it for an machine that runs for 8 hours while I am sleeping.

I am not sure how much power this can handle. It does work with my 55,000 BTU heater which draws (as far as I know) 10 amps (to run the pump/fan). I suspect it would work, as long as you don't have to do anything to the heater to get it to turn on after you plug it in. If you have to turn on a switch/push a button/etc. after plugging in the heater, this won't work since it's just like you unplugged your heater after the desired temperature was reached, and plugged it back in when it gets too cold.

Not even close. I have 2 ceramic heaters which require 600 watts on low setting and a max of 1500 watts each. I believe all ceramic heaters are like this.

It's rated at 1250 watts, to be safe I wouldn't use it over 1200. I use it for an 4' electric baseboard heater that is 1000 watts so I know it's safe to use. If you are running a higher watt appliance or heater, look for a 1875 watt rated timer. I had to go to Home Depot to find one. And if you need an extension cord due to a too short cord, be sure to purchase one or two appliance cords rated at 1875 watt.

Unfortunately, no. This would be a great little heater except for the cost of running it. I'm afraid to use it since it cost me over $100 extra in electricity and I only used it about three hours a day for a week.

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

Yes, Is is ok. I would reccomend the Lasko towering heater. It's a much better heater.

Most space heaters use more than 1300 watts. However even if less in your case, I could not recommend the Power inverter you ask about. I only hooked up chargers for 2 Cell phones and 1 Ipad Snd mine smoked. I returned it to buy another brand.

I am not an electrician but I have heard an electrician in my office building state that most heaters use 1500W of power, and it is enough heat to keep me warm at my desk. I suppose if I was looking for a heating unit at my house since it does not have central heat & air then I would go with a product that produces more heat but costs more.

1-2 hours, depending on the condition of the battery. The heater draws over 7-amps. You really need a much bigger battery. Deeply discharging the battery frequently will significantly shorten the battery's lifespan. We use ours in a motorhome to preheat the bed in the evening, running it for about a 1/2 hour. It draws too much power to leave it on overnight unless we have shore power.

Depends on the amp rating of your outlet. You will need to be able to draw more than 4000 watts from the outlet to have 4000 watts available from the heater.

Yep, it is only a 200 watt heater... blows cool air in my opinion. .. we have two of them.... both the same... we are returning one... ones without fan are 10X the drying /heating power. Regret the purchase

If I needed 4000 Watts of heat, I'd get a few 120 volt heaters, they are cheap.They would need to be connected to separate circuits, of course.It may be possible to modify an existing 240 Volt, 4000 Watt heater for use on 120 Volts.Whether this would be a bad idea depends on several factors.That it may be done safely does not indicate that a particular electrician could, or would, do so.Everything I know is wrong.

I know this question is almost a year old, but in case anyone else might wonder. Sure you MIGHT be able to use a plug-in type timer....BUT... you would have to make sure that the timer you use is rated for the 1500 watts that this heater draws. Most timers are designed to turn on and off lights (a couple hundred watts perhaps) and other smaller appliances. 1500w is a pretty bug draw. make sure whatever you use can handle it.

My baseboard heaters are eight feet long. At 240 V & 250 watts per foot, draw is 2k watts. I am very pleased with this thermostat, less than five minutes to install.

I am not really sure how this will work but leaning towards on the safe side, I would say NO. This heater is drawing a lot of power and I think the generator as the source will not work for this application.If I were you, I will contact the generator manufacturer and explain how you plan of using the unit. I hope this helps.

A small heater could use from 1300 to 1600 watts, a refrigerator, you would have to look up wattage for the brand you have. if I were buying l go for the 5600 watt generator the rv inverter generator runs quite and weigh is less than 90 lbs
