That's around the size of the room i am using it in and it does very good at keeping it warm, I just got my light bill today and it has went down a little over $40.00 hope this helps.

I use it in an very cold sunroom in the winter time. The room is 9x12 with a 7 Ft. ceiling. After it reaches about 72, it stays off most of the time. The previous heater I had would never turn off when it was cold outside. I've had the Lasko for about 3 months and am quite happy with it. It's the same amps as the other one I had.

That's about the size of my bedroom but with a higher ceiling. I turn on and close the door and it warms up quite nicely. I don't like it super hot , just to take the chill off. I don't know how it compares with other heaters as this is the first one I have used. I liked the slim style, lightweight and the remote is great during the night. Hope that helps!

The heater works fine as long as it doesn't get to be below 30 degdegrees . The thermostat isn't accurate. Not even close. And as far as electric cost, it is costing me approx 65.55-70.00 a month. That's the cost of the heater running. The room it is heating is 8'x 12'x 7' ceiling. I am having to use another heater just to be able to keep the room 60 degrees. I regret this purchase, and will be replacing it as soon as I can afford a better heater that will work and save me some money as this heater was stated to do.

We used ours in two different rooms, one was about 600 sq. ft. the other was abut 300 sq. ft. and it seemed to work well for us in both rooms. We also found that a regular vaporizer for a lot less $ works for us. the difference is cool steam and warm steam.

I am heating a basement room 16x24 with a 10 ft ceiling and it does a great job. I use the economy setting which allows us to drop the heat by several degrees. Also you can set the on- off times so it doesn't have to waste heat during the night. My unit is the EX 17 (BTU) Natural Gas model.

I purchased this unit last year. It is used to heat a 20x16 foot bedroom in our cellar. I measured its electricity usage using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter, in early March in Maine. As near as I can tell, using it all day (with its automatic thermostat to shut it off when not needed), it probably was "ON" approx. 4-7 hours per day in a cool March. Working the usage numbers to a per-month estimate, I came up with 470 KWH per March. At our KWH fees, that translated to approx. $63.33 per month. I had previously measured three other electric heaters using my "Kill-A-Watt" meter. All three used TWICE the electricity than this Lasko. I purchased this unit last year.

I have the heater in a 14' X 14' room, and it heats the room pretty well, no problems. The only thing I didn't like about the heater is the fact the flame has to be on as long as the heater is on. There in not a separate switch for the flame and the heater.

I think that it is recommended for 700 sq ft. but I am able to heat 1000 sq. ft. easily by placing it in a central part of the house (wall mounted) and using ceiling fans reversed in the more distant rooms. I am using natural gas so not sure if that makes any difference or not but I highly recommend this heater.

Thanks everyone, your feedback helps a lot. The temps get down to about 25 in the early morning but always warms up to about 40-45 by mid day in Central NC. Ooops didn't see the typo... the space is 14x40x10 (560 sf with 10 ft ceiling height) fully insulated ceiling walls and floors with a ceiling fan to aid in heating or cooling circulation.

That''s a tough one. I use it to take the chill off my kitchen in the morning. It puts out pretty good heat. My kitchen is about 15'x15', with 10' ceiling. Every situation is different. I have a propane heater in my house, not forced air, so I just use it to supplement when and where needed. I live in a 100+ year old adobe, so my place is not typical.

I used this heater in a living room of 400 sqft. There are 3 heaters total in that area. Works great!

I have this unit LS-1003HH and it's great for a living room/family room size. But it does not heat up a 1800 sqf unless it's the size of an entire one room size. My living room is about 500 sqf and it's OK but the heat does not transfer to the ajesent room.

Well, like I said in my post that I have a 15x23 room and I'll tell you--I was very surprised that it heated it up as good as it did. Personally, I think this heater is the best one I've found so far. It gets pretty warm, also you can move the lever up or down to let the heat go where you want it to go. When I first get up in the mornings, I sit on the couch drinking my coffee and I put that heater in front of me and pull the lever down where the heat is going right on me. LOL--I'm not good with square feet. So what ever 15x23 is. Hope that helped.

We use it in a room that is about 12' x 16'and it heats it almost to much on high. Our winters here only drop to about 30 degrees though. We have two. They heat great, but do use more energy that our regular heat pump. We use these when our heat pump goes out. (We are in AZ)

I purchased it for a second home that I visit off and on during the year. I have it set in the bedroom And it is about 200 sq feet. It does a nice job of heating that. I do question the accuracy of the thermostat however but for the price you can't really expect much more than it does. I'd buy it again.

This should do well in a small room. The application we used it for was a LARGE room - 30x30 with 10 foot ceilings. It did OK. It kept the temp bearable - around 75 as opposed to 85. We bought this unit knowing that is would be small for the space we were cooling. Our space requires about a 25-30,000 cooling BTU. So this unit should facilitate a small room with no problem.

Sorry I don't have the room square footage info you asked about, but I used one in a very large and cold bathroom and it worked very well even though I just turned it on when I was in that room bathing, dressing, etc. I have another in a large and very cold sunroom (lots of windows) whenever I am sitting in there (except in summer) and it warms it up nicely.

I think it will be fine. We use this in a 10X 12 room with 10 ft ceilings & it has plenty of heat. I usually end up turning it down. Having a digital thermostat on it means the room should get to your desired temp & then turn off.

Hello! It doesn't seem to heat the room at all. As for energy consumption, I am afraid that I don't know. This is a very powerful and relatively quiet unit.
