I know it is a convection-type heater, but does it have a fan? What is the range of the thermostat? How does it hook up?

It has a fan. The thermostat is a rotary knob on the back of the heater. There is no temperature setting. You set it by turning on the heater and when the room gets to the temp you want, you turn the dial down until the fan shuts off. When the room cools down, the fan will come back on. The heater plugs into a 230 volt 20 amp receptacle.

the unit has a fan, it is forced air. The very best electric space heater I have found.

It just puts out heat. You have to buy a separate thermostat if you need one. It is save to touch, but too hot to touch for long.

Unit is a wall mount. Replaced my old thermostat. If it is close to the heater it will not be able to judge the room temperature. Love the unit, has a normal and economy mode we use when away from the house.

No, sorry, it doesn't. I wish it did. Also wish it had a remote control. It only has a manually operated "high","swing high"(oscillating), "low", and "swing low" setting. It's a really nice, instant heater. I use it in my bathroom. It does a nice job of warming the room without being noisy because there is no fan. It's silent! I've also used it outside on a porch, feels like warming by a fire. I own 3 of these, but only regularly use one of them. I hope this helps everyone.

No it does not have a fan motor. It is a reflective heater, meaning that it will only warm anyone (thing) near it. It will NOT heat a room, that is for another type of heater. My cats stretch out in front of this radiant heater and I keep it at the foot of my bed, aimed just over it and have it oscillating so nothing gets the concentrated heat. With it being at the foot of my bed, the bright light doesn't bother me and my feet are toasty warm. I have never had to use it on its highest setting. Its lower setting consumes only 400 watts of electricity. On the fan-forced types, their lowest setting consumes at least 800 watts. I have this heater and the same one on a pedastal both oscillate.

Its a fan. It circulates the air. Its not a heater, or A/C unit. It moves the room air.

There's no fan on this heater. The front screen is made of metal and it is coated with a heat activated coating that changes color when it gets hot. If you should blow a fuse on the circuit that it is plugged into, reset the fuse, unplug the heater for at least 30 minutes. When you plug it in again it will re-set itself automatically. If you don't do this it will not restart. Just be careful as the heater draws 12.5 amps. that's quite a bit. DO NOT use an extension cord unless a professional tells you the cord is ok. If you use an extension that is not correct, you will run the risk of fire which is not good. You can use this unit with or without the thermostat. It is set to be on all the time or to turn off and on with setting the "mode" button. All in all, this is a good heater. It keeps the chill off my whole basement and doesn't cost a lot to run. Just use common sense. Common sense is a gift and there are a lot of people out there that haven't opened up their present yet.

It does have a digital built in thermostat and a timer. Good little heater for the money.It will heat a small area but not a main heat source

No fan!! It is simply a radiant heater. Heat comes from both sides and the top. We like the heater because of this - it is silent, warming, fun to stand around and warm your hands and other sides as well. The design is such that no surface gets dangerously hot.

It is radiant heat (Quartz and Convection Radiant Heater), there is no fan. I am sitting in front of it now. Have had it since November and I am still very happy with it. I heat a small, well insulated, room with it (no other heat source in this room).***Watch my other electric appliances and lights to balance the cost of running the heater.******http://www.conservingelectricity.com/ElectricSpaceHeaters.asp*** Working out well. Hope this helps.

I don't see any point in setting a fan next to this either. If you want a heater with a fan, get one that has the fan built in. Having said that, this heater will nicely envelope a room in heat once it's been on for a bit. We use it in a bedroom and it's perfect. I did try it out in our living room, which is about 20 x 12 and eh, wasn't real impressed with the heat throw. Better suited to bedrooms or smaller dens, etc.

Good Morning C.Unfortunately it is not a combination of both heating and cooling, it is only fan with a thermostat to adjust cool temperature settings. Very helpful during the nights. -GoWise USA

Yep, it is only a 200 watt heater... blows cool air in my opinion. .. we have two of them.... both the same... we are returning one... ones without fan are 10X the drying /heating power. Regret the purchase

Joann, as far as I know its built into the heater, I HAVE AN OLDER MODEL AND MY FRIEND HAS ONE LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN. BOTH UNITS CAME with fans.

We use it as a heater, but we just pulled it out to try and I wouldn't recommend to use it as a fan. A) it blower isn't strong enough in my opinion and B) the air is warm. It's a good heater but you would be better off buying a cheap fan then using this to cool yourself off.
