My sunroom is 11x17x 16' ceiling height. Minimal insulation. Can this heater do the job? Is there another you recommend?

I forgot to mention my ceiling height, it is approximately the same as your ceiling height. My room has one wall of windows (drafty-winter).I honestly really believe this heater will be perfect. I turn the heater on high close the doors, in 15 minutes it is warm. I do have to turn the heater down, gets very warm/hot. It is very light weight, thin. This is the first heater I tried, no experience with others. Jeannine, I do hope this info helps. I am very happy. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

While I don't know how cold that room will get, I doubt the heater could keep the entire room warm. Especially with that high ceiling.

I think you will be surprised at how well this heater will work in that space. I use it in a room that is 15x20 and we have it on the lowest setting most of the time and stay at 68 degrees easily. It's a fabulous heater.

I'm not sure if it will heat up that size room but I want to warn you that the two Vornado heaters I have purchased in the past were pieces of unreliable junk. I ended up spending more money for DR. HEATER (2 of them) and they both work great after over two years of usage - please avoid Vornado if you can.

I am using it in a 10 x 12' or 12 x 12' room and it works great. Sometimes gets the room a little too warm, so I think it could probably heat a slightly larger room effectively as well.

Not sure... but the beauty of this machine is its timer: set and forget it! Your space will be as warm as you want it as long as your ceilings aren't higher than the standard 8 feet. Hope that helps!

This is a VERY good heater. I am using it a 400 square foot garage it heats very well regardless of the temperature outside very efficiently . That said I know it will heat the area that you will be using it in. However the fan that is on this heater does not produce a large air flow. It is basically designed to move the heat away from the heater with very little air flow. What I would recommend is to buy a few small floor fans to move the air throughout the cabin. I am not sure there is a heater on the market that would provide enough air flow to provide the cabin with uniform heat

I believe that it would do a good job. I would recommend that you try to remedy the drafts. My house is 650 sq. ft. with 10 ft. ceilings. I am very happy with this heater.

It depends on the humidity you're at, and the humidity you're trying to get. I have a 2100 square foot house with high ceilings, and it makes a difference, but I'm also only doing like a 35% humidity in the winter... and I'm not really sure I ever get to 35% humidity, I just know it's definitely doing work.I would really recommend something bigger, as your house heater would likely allow for something bigger anyway. However, having one or two of these installed isn't a waste of time.

Hi Mary, I have a porch that is enclosed which is 24' x 6'. Insulation is not the best out there, and we heat it on the lowest setting. Temps this winter have been down in the teens and the lowest setting works well. We really like this heater.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.

20x20x15=6000 Sg ft. so no! 20x20x8=3200 sg ft which would be a normal ceiling height would still be to much for this heater to work properly. You would need four of these units to heat it up properly. 15' height is your biggest problem.

I am using it for my 20 X16 shop which has a sloped ceiling that is 15' at the peak and the unit seems to be doing fine. I usually run it on low. I have had it less than one year but seems to be working fine and capturing extra airport dust acceptably. It also acts as a heat circulator by moving the hat air down from the ceiling. Good Luck - Andrew

Mine does a decent job heating a finished basement with 19 by 24 feet. I am quite happy with it. My insulation is probably not the best though either.

I have in a room in the garage that is 8x20ft and no problem in getting this room to 70F, takes about 10 minutes and stays there until I shut it off. Have seen other comments about this heater for room sizes up to 200 sq ft.

I've been using mine in a 26x12 room which includes the kitchen and dining area,and I find it to be more than adequate. I normally keep it on the "dehumidify" setting unless I've been away from home on a hot day; then I put it on "cool" "high" for a couple of hours to cool down the room. It faces my dining room table which would freeze anyone sitting in front of it, so I taped on a clear plastic, adjustable length, deflector made for heat vents and aimed it at the ceiling. That was a huge improvement. Like every air conditioner I've used, the adjustable louvers on the unit do almost nothing. This unit is surprisingly quiet and I've been very pleased with it.

I thought mine worked well. The size of the room and its insulation make a big difference. The most effective for me was using it to heat our 12x14' master bedroom at night, and we kept the door to the rest of the house closed. With just the wall panel, the bedroom would get too warm and we'd have to turn off the heat during the night, which was great!
