Can this newer model heat a standard (10 x 12) bedroom up to toasty (above 75 degrees) in half an hour or so?

i think so, but it might depend on what the temp was to begin with, and air circulation.

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!

I would give it an hour to reach temps that warm. There is a timer on it and you can set it ahead of time. I really like this little heater.

I think so - I love this heater - it has been great for our nursery - it definitely gets it toasty! I guess it depends on what the temperature is when you begin.

The unit has a 4 position rotary switch: off, fan, low, and high. Based on my experience i find no difference between low and high and a 12x12 room would be the max I try to keep the chill off. Max is probably 1500 watts as advertised but I'vr had more expensive cermac 1500 watt heaters that would heat a larger area. I'd call this a heater and those units a ceramic furnace. I hope thay helps

If The room Temperature starts at about 60° it will heat the room about 2° an hour. You can feel the heat blow About 2 feet away from it. I use two heaters to heat my thousand square-foot home

I use it as additional heat for my bedroom to keep it above 70 degrees with the furnace set at 65 degrees and it works great. but i don't think it would heat your room sufficiently without additional heat supplied to the room.

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.

I have been in my current home less than 1 year so I have nothing to compare it to. I use the unit in a large "den" area on the back of the home where the family spends most of our time and it works well there so I do not have to heat the entire home to the samer degree....

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

We use it in a room that is about 12' x 16'and it heats it almost to much on high. Our winters here only drop to about 30 degrees though. We have two. They heat great, but do use more energy that our regular heat pump. We use these when our heat pump goes out. (We are in AZ)

I don't think the unit will heat 1,000 sq ft very well. We use two of these heaters to heat 512 sq ft / 8' tall and it takes about 45 minutes. We are in the panhandle of Florida so we don't see extreme cold tempratures.

I heats it up pretty quickly, less than10 mins. We've used one of these for years and it works great.

I have two of them in an 850 sf house in the pacific northwest, and they heat it just fine. Course, the amount of insulation in the house is a big factor. Mine is well insulated in the ceiling. I also have a single unit in a 200 sf "granny pod" and it does fine. Keep in mind a small plug-in space heater is 1500 watts, while this unit is 2250 watts. If you go to the King Electric web site they have some data on sizing electric heaters.

I have been very happy with the performance with King heaters. I do not heat a space of this size. Call them and I'm sure they will guide you to the right model for your needs.

Usually a bedroom or a closed off room... 12x12 which is what we use it for. It is a space heater for a reason. open space[2 ajoining rooms] won't cut it. it will run forever we also use a thermostat that we plug the unit into and we have it set at 69 degrees to kick on/off at night.

It is very safe, cheaper to run than a baseboard or coil heater. The only draw back is it takes about 30 minutes+ to heat a normal master bedroom.

I'm not well-versed on BTU's and watts comparison. I can, however, support the answer by Randolph Eck. I agree that this heater does not adequately or quickly heat 800 sq ft. It would be an okay heater for a small bedroom or bathroom, if you don't mind the beeping when you push the buttons. But, I would suggest buying a smaller space heater in the $30 to $60 range instead of this one, if price is a factor.

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

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.
