I bought mine in 2012 and it's been working very well. I use it every day in the summer. My room is about 20 X 13 and at the end of the whole house air conditioning run so it's perfect for me.

the model I have is barely sufficient for a small room maybe 14 feet by 8 feet so i would recommend a more powerful unit unless space is very small.

Good Morning...I am now following up with real answers. It was cold this morning for the first time this fall in our home and I set up the Lasko #5775 Heater. There will be absolutely no danger getting burned. After having it on for 30 min in my bath (by the way is bigger than I thought, a 10 X 10 room), the room was nicely warm and the heater to touch was barely warm. It really has been a great little heater and I still give it 5 stars!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

We just bought a new MK32E for our daughter's barn. The heater on mine was attached directly to the underside of the water pan while this newest one has the heater sitting away from the water pan, suspended from a small arm. Ours froze up last year at -25 degrees but increasing the thermostat setting seemed to solve the issue. With the heater away from the pan and at -40 a 500 watt heater might be taxed beyond its capacity. I used to put a 100 watt light bulb inside our unit in the winter just to be sure it did not freeze during those few sub zero days.

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.

It is a good heater and you can talk over it. However, you may want to look into a blower with a squirrel-cage instead of blades.

That would be the BRK-300. I also bought a BRK-200C (Canadian) and I have to say it does look great but it takes a while to heat up.

I use it to keep my garage warm and even with the brutal winter that we've had so far, I've had no problem keeping comfortable. My intent was not to have the garage as warm as my house, but to keep it comfortable to work in. If you want this to heat a family room, then you'll have absolutely no problem doing it with this unit. I have the 3000 watt heater running on 240V. If you can, you might consider a smaller (1500W) unit with a supplementary baseboard heater. Likely a bit more economical to run. But to answer your question - yes, this unit will do a nice job for your family room. Hope this helps.

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.

The model I purchased, via Amazon (CS3311) lasted approx a year. The heater and blower (fan) failed. I contacted the company,explained the situation. They shipped me. at NO COST, a complete heater/blower assembly. I cannot complain. Their compliance makesme wonder about the reliability of their products. Hope this helps you.

I live in a 37 ft motor home and it kept my unit warm all last winter! I never had to turn on my propane heaters... well worth it! Plan on buying my son one for his motor home next winter! Fantastic

This is a VERY good heater. I am using it a 400 square foot garage it heats very well regardless of the temperature outside very efficiently . That said I know it will heat the area that you will be using it in. However the fan that is on this heater does not produce a large air flow. It is basically designed to move the heat away from the heater with very little air flow. What I would recommend is to buy a few small floor fans to move the air throughout the cabin. I am not sure there is a heater on the market that would provide enough air flow to provide the cabin with uniform heat

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

I do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes
