ive used this heater for a couple years in my bathroom ... it will make a 5 by 5 sauna way warmer than you can stand

Probably too small for a heater. Would believe that ambient temp will suffice for normal room temps.

We use it in a 6' x 8' bathroom and it heats GREAT on a low setting. On a higher setting, it also warmed a small hallway. BTW, I wouldn't order this from Amazon Deals. Both ordered had considerable cosmetic damage (in spite of being described as "like new"), one had a cover so bent it wouldn't stay on. However, the new one looks and runs great--I'd buy again.

I have never taken actual temp, but I always run mine on "5" for about 40 to 60 minutes to get a good sweat. Remember infrared is a "wave" heat not a thermostatic heat. So it does not feel the same as a sauna which is an "external" heat source.

Your best would be to contact the company who makes the sauna's. Theywere very helpful when we had questions.

I'm heat and cooling a 12 x 30 atic room and it does great. The room is well insulated though. Hope this helps.

This is made for a shop or outdoors. The heat is very strong up close. The metal casing can also get hot. not for close areas or small rooms, it needs some kind of venting.

We're currently heating an area about 25 X 30 with only partial walls due to the structure. We have an open ceiling and a storage area beside the room of approx. the same size. It keeps the training area comfortable. I would be comfortable saying it can handle 1200 square feet without a problem. It might cover more if the room was totally enclosed.

Wouldn't be my first choice for boiling a 5 gal. Pot. The cool is about 5-7 inch across. It could produce the heat though to get the job done

I don't recall it getting that hot. We use it in our bathroom which is about 6 X 8 and I never noticed it getting that hot. I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about as far a safety. I just know it has worked very well for us the past 2 winters and we have enjoyed it. We will be using it here very soon and if I do notice anything I will let you know.

This unit is just under 6 inches tall, the top of the unit is full of venting holes, to the point where you can see the components within, so .5 inches will be more than adequate for ventilation. The unit really doesn't get that hot to begin with, it is very well designed, and the sub has its own power cord so no extra heat from that. I highly recommend this product to you and I see no issue that would prevent it from being a perfect fit for you.

My nursery is around 180 square feet give or take. The unit brings the temp up in about 20 minutes. I bet it could warm up a room twice this size without issue.

For a space of 60 sq ft....I doubt it'll have an immediate warmth impact....You may feel warmth after a few hours of use...If your looking for a high output portable heater...Allow me to suggest "The Big Heater Buddy" ...It'll put out btween 4000-9000 Btu's... Check Cabelas website...The deal with refurbished units....Good Luck.

Elaine - my unit heats our family room that is about 25' by 18'. It heat my much smaller office in minutes and it's 15' by 12'. It works especially well when occillating. Hope this helps.

I gives a little heat, but I only use it outside on my deck. Don't expect it to keep you warm on a chilly evening outside... it's more for a light glow and ambience. Perhaps in an enclosed area it would warm the space.

This is not the greatest sauna. We ended up returning it. There should be a couple screws to put the heater on but even that was awkward. You have to be very careful to keep the heat in as it's not attached to anything.

I would have to agree with the others, about 5 min is good, but if you want to pre heat to 400 I think that will take a bit longer.
