How close to this heater can you have furniture?

I have one in my bedroom and I have a chair less than two feet from the unit. In order for it to work well it needs to have free air-flow so blocking it off with a couch would likely not work so well. They get hot enough that you would not want to leave your hand in contact for long...but not so hot as to burn you if you brushed up against it. If the furniture is off to the side a foot should be fine.

Keep in mind that furniture could obstruct the air flow for the convection heating to work properly. According to the manufacturers FAQ's, they recommend keeping combustible materials three feet away. http://www.eco-heater.com/frequent-questions/

Hi I actually have it in my bathroom, and within 6 inches is my vanity, and on the other side within 8 inches there is my towel storage. This is a fantastic heater, it has really helped on cold mornings here in New England, I also bought the thermostat control plug which is a big help, as they say, set it and forget it. Hope this helped.

I would defer to the manufacturer's recommendations but I would note that this is very hot to the touch so you would likely want to leave at least 6 inches.

Depends on how near and exactly where I would say. The heat that comes out isn't like a heat gun but it is warm/hot. I wouldn't want to put it so it blows onto the TV but within a foot or so I would think is okay but you should follow the manufacturers guidlelines They do have recommendations as to distance from combustibles like drapes, electrical cords etc which is 3 feet. Here's a link to the user manual: http://www.sylvane.com/media/documents/products/heat-storm-deluxe-wall-heater-owners-manual.pdf

It has four little 'feet' that touch the wall and provide the clearance. The 'feet' are about one half inch in length. Overall, the heater sticks out a total of less than 5 inches from the wall.

I would look for something larger. That is about the size of the room I use it in and it really just warms the space around the heater - where I sit.

You can put your furniture closer to the wall? Less chance of leg of table putting pressure on a plug......

Hi @nerenttt, You need to maintain a minimum distance of 1 feet from the heater

Not a large room. You need to be fairly close to it. Pretty much like a regular space heater. It's also heavy and doesn't have wheels.

There is a small degree of vertical positioning flexibility, but no more than roughly 20 degrees. I find it easier to place the heater on a stool if I want to heat something above floor level.

There is a vent in the rear so I would't put it against the wall. I have 2 of these heaters and use both so their is a least a foot of clearance on all sides.

Thats correct, it would interfere with the heat coming out the top. Plus you would be covering up the power and heat buttons. The remote control can power it on and cycle through the colors though. Its a great product though. But if you want heat, you can't recess it perfectly flush against the wall. I questioned how that would look myself, but I have no issues with it sitting two inches from the wall. From the couch, you would never notice (I walled over my 1950's fireplace and am using this instead now).

According to the instruction manual: "CAUTION - High temperature. Keep electrical cords, drapes, and other furnishings away from heater. Do not allow curtains or other furnishings to contact heater. Maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance around the heater at all times."Hope this is helpful.

This is a radiant heater. It heats stuff, not air. Best place for it is 2 to 3 feet away from you. There is a fire in it so some warm air does rise out the top. Not much, you can put your hand on it. Kitchen cold? Under the table. Watching TV cold? Put it right in front of you. Your 2 legged little critters will be in your lap. 4 legged critters will be under your feet. It warms the carpet nicely. One guy bought a used "little red wagon" and hauls his around with it. If you work at a big desk or table, shove it against the wall under it. It will keep you toastie.

Yes, you can put the thermostat pretty much anywhere as long as you can run a wire to and from the heater. I put this one in a bathroom at my cabin and installed a basboard thermostat about 4 to 5 ft. above and to the right of it on the wall. Works like a charm!

You may lose all of the heat out the drafty window. You also need to leave some space for good airflow around the heater. I'd plan to keep my couch about 6" away, but make certain to check it occasionally in case it gets too hot.

If you are facing the heater it is on the bottom right about 7 inches from the edge

Somewhere between airplane size and a blanket you would put on your bed. It works quick and effectively. This was a much cheaper alternative than getting my daughters automobile heater fixed!

The heater comes with plastic "bricks" to rest your items on. The bricks are about four inches high (sorry I'm not at home or else I'd measure and get the exact measurement). You should also probably keep at least a 2 inch gap between the top and sides (note, the key to this product working is adequate air flow, having space for air to travel is essential or the items won't heat up easily). The product description/website may discuss the gap with more detail. So, the interior is the same exact measurements of the exterior (the walls are extremely thin), but reduce those measurements by the four inches of brick height on the bottom and the two inch gap on the sides and top and you should have a good idea of the size it can fit.
