This heater will heat any space it is in, the square footage is more of a sugestion./recomendation, meaning that this heater will be most effective (use less gas, turn on less often, and keep a more even temp) if used in the space recomended

Actually...I hooked it up to my home natural gas supply. I do not know.However, yes, it is a large heater. I have a 2550 square ft two story home. I got this to supplement during our particularly snarky winters here in Michigan.It keeps us warm and toasty! Also helps reduce the need for the main furnace use, which is 150000 btu's.I noticed a significant reduction in my heating bills.The heater works well, with no issues.I am in my second season with it.Quite happy.

it has 2 settings, 400 watts and 800 watts. It won't heat your 15x20 room...it's more of a spot heater at the 800 watt setting. If you want something that can easily heat up with those dimensions, I would go for a Living Pure heater that puts out 1500 watts and which radiates the heat in all directions I don't even use the oscillating feature because then the heat dispersion is uneven

Hi Patricia,We use it in our 200 sqft living room and it works really well. The ocilation feature allows you to get more area heated than a normal space heater. However, it does make a fan-like noise when it's running. It's not obnoxiously loud, just a low hum that really ends up being white-noise, and not something we find annoying. Hope that helps a bit!

It doesn't heat much especially if it's really cold outside. I am disappointed in this heater. I use it to heat my bathroom. It seems to take forever to reach the temp set in an average size room. Can't give you exact sq. footage. I would send it back but it's too late.

It is a small heater about 2 feet wide (see product description). I was concerned about that but once I found a spot for it and plugged it in, it's a really nice little stove. Heats my whole family room in the lower level of the house.

I'm sorry, but I cannot remember the BTUs, but I do know that it heated a 12 x 12 room. It wasn't hot, but comfortable. My daughter has it in another city to help her with her electric bill or I would check for you. Hope this helps.....sorry. It is about 20 to 24 inches tall, about 14 to 18 inches wide, and about 24 to 30 inches in length. It has "extras" that add to its appeal. We love it....

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.

Not sure of sq footage but it heats 2 large rooms with high ceilings aprox 15 ft x 15 ft each. Absolutely love it!

It is a comfort heater. I live in a small apartment and it it will keep up as long as the temperatures don't fall below 30 degrees. It does not heat the carpet. The narrow outlet towards the top of the unit blows forced air over some sort of heating element. It is quite powerful, but not the same as a built in appliance. You can touch the unit anywhere and it will not burn you. It is very safe for children pets. It is a 1500 watt unit. multiply 1500 x hours x your rate in kilowatts/hour and you get the cost of operation.

Its 980. Consumer reports rated this heater the best infrared heater to purchase. I only use it in one room at about 12 x18 foot. Supplemental heat for a large room that you are in while the unit is running. Not meant for heating a very large area. Good luck.

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.

Hi Elizabeth; I have one Lasko 5840 heater in my master bedroom. The room size is 18' x 22'. It does just fine in that room. I also have one in our family room. The size of that room is 22' x 13'. It does fine in that room also. It does not heat really fast, but does OK. It's the best portable heater I have owned so far. It's very quite for it's size and does not smell. Hope this helps. Larry

There isn't a thermostat. Hard to answer the square foot question since I use the heater outdoors on a screen porch and the documentation that comes with the heater is liminted. I selected this heater because infrared heat is not affected by wind. I can say it is very powerful and my 28 x 17 porch, if it was sealed as a room with windows etc, would be heated in about an hour with the two units I have currently installed.

Same square footage as yours. This heater puts out only a mild heat that will dissipate quickly in bigger rooms, with possibly large or multiple windows. The smaller the space the better it works. It struggled to keep up a satisfactory temp in a space the size of ours. High ceilings probably didn't help my situation either. I placed mine in a bit smaller room and it works wonderfully.

Exactly, I am not sure; but it heats a 300 sq ft room on my house very well.
