Does anyone think this heater is safe enough to leave on at night while sleeping or leave on while leaving home for 2 to 4 hrs.

I have fallen asleep on my sofa and it was fine. I have kept it on all day while I was home, and it was fine. But I would not recommend leaving any heater on while not at home or asleep for the night.

I have left it on while going to church 2 plus hours. I would not recommend it as the fire department does not recommend leaving electric units on once you leave the house. Definitely have smoke alarms if left on overnight.

Yes its safe...i never turn mine off. Its an excellent heat source with a built in thermostat.

If you do not use an extension cord, keep away from flamibles I would say it should be safe. I use mine in a travel trailer without any problems. Best heater I have ever owned , nothing gets hot anywhere around heater.

I leave it in a smaller room than that at a lower temp. So, not sure, but I would think so. The real key with this heater is that it is SILENT and automatic. Set it and forget it!

I have used this heater in my house. I have a carbon monoxide detector and I NEVER leave it on unattended. However, I would not recommend using this heater as a main heat source. IMHO....

I have had this heater for 2 years now and I rent out a room and it is perfectly fine to leave it on overnight I have done so on many occasions and never had a problem once.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

I often leave mine on continuously overnight and for several days. Just ensure your heat setting is not too high.

I've left mine on for over 24 hours but I do check the plug to be sure it's not heating up. Not that often, just every 12 hours or so. Have been using mine a lot, no problems at all.

I have not left it on if I am gone, however the heat element does turn on and off automatically according to whatthe thermostat is set for. I think you would probably be ok.

I'm pretty sure it shuts off after a max of 12 hours. I think this means that it's fine if you're there in the house, but it won't serve to prevent pipes freezing if you're away for a long while in deep winter. On the other hand, though this heater is MUCH safer than other types, I'm not comfortable with even a furnace on while I'm away for days at a time. Draining plumbing is best if you're gone in winter.

I bought 4 in 2012 we only have 3 months mild cold weather,some are used 12 hours a day some 2 hours a day,non have broken so fartheres a reset button underneath heater,if you don't move it around a lot it should work a long time,and dust free so it does not over heat

I'm sure it is safe. I returned my heater, but it was due to it being loud, although it is advertised as being quiet. The performance (heating) was good.

I have never left it on overnight. The short time I have left it on it didn't heat up at all. Not sure what would happen if left on for extended periods.

Yes, it's safe. It's the only propane heater I'd recommend for indoor use of any kind. I use these regularly -- as in DAILY -- in my 200 sq foot cabin for weeks at a time, and have done so over the course of 6 years. I don't think most people answering actually use these for heating a small space, or for daily heating. I do. I wouldn't leave it on while you sleep. Yes, it's safe. I've certainly slept while my heater is on. But it's still a propane appliance, and it's just not good practice to sleep with an open flame in a room. If I'm using the heater on and off during the day/night, I leave the propane tank on. If I'm not going to use the heater for 24 hours or more, I recommend turning off the tank, and burning off the last of the propane in the hose. In other words: 1) Turn the heater on low. 2) Turn the tank off, but let the heater keep burning, using up the propane that's still in the hose. 3) When the heater runs down, turn off the heater. Hope this helps. - tkh

I've gone to sleep with it on and turned it off in the middle of the night because the room got too warm. I've never actually left it on all night but I've left it on until about 3am.

It is as safe as any heater is in a bathroom. It has a safety tip over switch. It might be more heater than you would need however. We use it in our living room, and it works great!

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.

It operates like a furnace with temperature control. It turns itself on and off as needed, depending on the room. I have not got it out yet this year, but I don't remember it turning itself off after 8 hours. that would have been a problem for me. I really do like the heater a lot. I hope it performs well this winter like it did last year. Good luck.
