How many square feet of space is this heater designed to accommodate?

I cannot specifically give square footage, but mine is mounted on a wall shared by my kitchen,Dining room and Den, it is open space and when the heater is on i cannot put it on High because it gets too hot in the room.

It says it is rated for 700 sq ft, but it will heat more than that. I think that it will depend on your floor plan, and the amount of insulation in the house. We can easily heat 1000 sq. ft without turning up the thermostat over 3 (goes to 5). Most of the time 2 or 2.5 is adequate and the house stays nice and cozy.

700-800 sq. ft. Heats that size area very well on low. Can't turn higher cause it gets too warm in the room !

Easy 7-800 sq. ft. on low to mid range- 900-1,000 on max high limits. I truly believe they rate the sq. footage to be perfectly safe on the part of the manufacturer. I own several and several different brands and they all exceed! But remember, Propane burns hotter than Natural which is also probably configured for the rating per/ sq. ft. (Duel Fuel) good heaters- good luck!

I don't really know. I'm using it as a supplement to an oil heater, so there's no way for me to know what percentage of the building is being heated by which method. However, the website says that it will heat 600 square feet. Personally, I don't put any stock in square feet numbers. How many square feet a heater will heat is entirely dependent on how insulated and how airtight the building is. Rather compare BTU numbers, as that's the only number that really means anything.

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower. In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

The heating area is 21x14. I have found it to heat up evenly, no hot spots.

Not a large room. You need to be fairly close to it. Pretty much like a regular space heater. It's also heavy and doesn't have wheels.

I would look for something larger. That is about the size of the room I use it in and it really just warms the space around the heater - where I sit.

How did the two heaters work out? I'd imagine it to work well, depends on total square footage, yet Im not too sure how it will match up against two 1500 watt heaters.The thing I did like about this heater is that it doesn't dry out the air, and also has temp settings. If the area is a medium space, you should be fine.

We use ours to heat a 500 sq ft space and it does the job. Hope this helps.

1 heater is perfect cause it is a small tank. More then one would just crowd the space

there is about 4 inches of space between the bottom of the heater and the floor. I have not noticed the floor heating up at all if that is the concern. I am not sure what the material of the outer casing is.

I have not needed to heat anything yet (I live in FL) but a 14 x 14 space should easily be heated by this unit.

The Lifesmart LS-3ECO heater is a very good heater for small rooms - I now own three of them. Concerning the square foot heating ratings on this and all heaters, note my statements from my review of the heater: Some people have complained about the unit not heating their area. For the size room I have (12 x 10) it works just fine. I think the best use for heaters like this is to take the chill out of the room and not as a source of primary heat. Often I have it on for a short period of time, and then I shut it off because it is warm enough in the room. With all heater advertisements, you need to take the maximum heated room size specification with a grain of salt. There are many factors that determine if a given heater will provide sufficient heat for an area. For example, are there any openings into other rooms, is a stairway present in the room where the heat can rise, how many windows are in the area, are there any outside walls, how well insulated are the walls, how cold is it outside, etc. For a small unit like this, it should adequately heat an area of about 300 square feet; again, it depends.

I think that it is recommended for 700 sq ft. but I am able to heat 1000 sq. ft. easily by placing it in a central part of the house (wall mounted) and using ceiling fans reversed in the more distant rooms. I am using natural gas so not sure if that makes any difference or not but I highly recommend this heater.

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.

I just measured the heater at 5" wide and 7-1/2" long. Hope this works for you.

The heater is made to use under a desk where it would be in close contact. It would not put out enough heat for a room.

Hi Matthew, Happy to help. This unit covers approximately 4000 sq ft. of space depending on the existing air quality of the space. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can possibly help with anything else :).
