Is it energy efficient?

Quite. We recently insulated the three-bedroom, two-bath area of our home, and this one little dude keeps us all plenty warm all night on the second to last setting and lots of blankets! Prior to the insulation, I am certain that we would not have had the same result.It does a great job in our 600 square foot great room, but we keep the furnace set to 63 or 64F as well. It's most definitely saved us oil, and it truly does not burn up the same amount of electricity that other appliances do.

I purchased this unit before last winter and found it to make the 15'X15' living room very comfortable. I do not believe that this unit comes close to heating a 1000 sq ft home, more like an efficient space heater.

So so, does a fairly good job. But will not heat up the sq footage they claim

I have a heat pump which is very expensive to run, so anything helps but it does not heat the sq ft that they say

I don't think so, anyway since the consumption is small, its always on. Works fine for me all this while.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

It doesn't require electricity. I bought it for my daughter and she loves it.

Is ok not super efficient but it's dont use a lot of power... Is at mid range

Sense it is relatively low wattage I'd say yes. If you have doubts use a thermostat and/or a power strip. My best guess...

No. It runs on electric which can be somewhat of a pain if using it alone. It's got a lot of power and does an amazing job.

Yes, Less watts will not hurt it. You will just not be getting full power out of it.

It uses a reasonable amount of electricity. Last winter I went from oil heat to electricity only and my electric bill was less than 3 times the previous year during the coldest winter months here in New England.

It is definitely the most cost efficient space heater I've ever used. It is cheaper to run than the traditional electric space heaters.

I don't know if it is an energy efficient product or not...but from what I have read a lot of companies will put a small motor in so it WILL be energy efficient, but as it is a smaller motor, it will make more noise (humming etc). This fan is pretty quiet which is my main concern as it is in my bedroom and I keep it on at night. I think you really have a choice between quiet and energy efficient but not both. I think for the most part they are all fairly efficient with not a big range of difference.. My two cents anyway !

Hello! It doesn't seem to heat the room at all. As for energy consumption, I am afraid that I don't know. This is a very powerful and relatively quiet unit.

There is an energy efficient button included. They also include a themostat so it can be set to a specific temperature. I like this product and believe that it is as energy efficient as they come. Hope that helps Billie.

I wouldn't say it's more efficient with or without it. I find it heating in a similar manner.

It's really quiet and efficient. When the motor kicks on its really not load. I would compare it to about the same noise as turning a window ac unit.

Yes, but it depends on outside temperature and how well the building is insulated and air sealed. It's 5600 watts or 19000 BTU, that's quit a bit. It's going to use more electricity!

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.
