Can this heater be used in humid areas such as bathroom? I have heard that ceramic heaters are not to be used in humid areas...

I have used mine in my bathroom for a very long time. If you have a sauna type situation then it maybe could be a problem. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer.

It works fine in our bathroom, but we live in a low humidity state. we put it on a timer so we can leave it on to clear out the humidity and don'e forget to turn it off. A pain to install if you are replacing... VERY quiet!

The unit is made of plastic, so you might want to place something non-burnable between unit and radiator. Perhaps place humidifier on floor under radiator. I hope one of these works for you.

This is up to you, Mary, since the heater doesn't have a water tray to add moisture to the air. I use a humidifier myself, to put moisture into the air for the comfort of people and for the plants too. I think you need a humidifier, with this machine, in a residential living area, anyway. I've used a Vornado machine for years - I clean the washable filter at the beginning of the season and it works fine, here's a link to it, but they are many humidifiers with good feedback, that I see on Amazon, that are lower in price. http://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Evap40-4-Gallon-Evaporative-Humidifier/dp/B00O0WOO74/ref=sr_1_6?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1421788079&sr=1-6&keywords=vornado+humidifier&pebp=1421788166683&peasin=B00O0WOO74

I have mine in my bathroom...I have a large bathroom and with the sauna or whirl pool humidity I have had no problems.

No. This is from the manual (page 5): ...This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom......This heater needs fresh air ventilation to run properly...

Mine works well. I'm not in a super humid environment, but I keep it next to the stove with lots of heat, vapors, etc... and I haven't had any problems yet.

We have two heaters - one with humidifier water bottle feature, one without - never have had problem sleeping using either one. We don't usually use the humidifier although it seems to work fine when we have used it.

It's not up to electrical code where I live, but I plan to be here for a long time so if it was me I would do it anyway. Many electricians won't do the work, however, if the job doesn't meet code. My only concern would be whether or not the metal parts would rust from being in a more humid environment. It's not made to be exposed to moist air like outside or in a bathroom. Good luck to you.

No, Ed, it is a dry heat. You may want to either buy a separate humidifier, or simply put a pot of water on the stove.

As long as you don't get water on the heater you'll be fine. This heater does a great job "warming" a room up. We have never had any safety issues- we don't leave near curtains or drapes we do turn it on and leave on to warm up a cold room all the time

Hi JJ, Thanks for the question. Must be getting warm in Miami now, right? Anyway, The Casablanca Isotope 52 is UL Listed for Indoor use only, so it is not designed to be exposed to moisture or harsh elements. Do not install this fan outside your house. It is also not recommended for bathrooms that have a shower or tub or laundry rooms, both of which produce excessive amounts of moisture. We hope this answers your question. If you need anything else JJ, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Go Heat!

No. The tank capacity does not hold more than 12-15 min. of steam and not designed to work as a room humidifier.

Reality Check : Per the CPSC [USA] "Unless certified for that purpose, do not use heaters in wet or moist places, such as Bathrooms." Wet Feet and Hands with a portable electric heater on the bathroom floor =equals= deadly danger. Bathroom 'safe' heaters usually come equipped with a ACLI Safety Plug and/or can be wall mounted (off the floor).

No- mine is on 24/7 and it never melts or emits moisture. I know not to keep them in an area with high humidity like a bathroom. Ours is in our living room and it's wonderful.

Sorry but is will not control a humidifier. It will heating (gas, oil or electric), cooling (multi stage), even a water heater, and can display inside / outside temperatures.

We recommend that you do not place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters. Also, never place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children. We do recommend locating your humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4" away from the wall for best results.
