Is the heater still noisy on the low heat setting? Also how many Watts does the low heat setting use? I assume the 1500 Watts refers to the high heat setting.

Our heaters are not noisy on the low or high settings-the 1500 watt is for the high setting.

Manuel, my 500 Watt Heater says ~110V 60Hz on it..... In the US we used 110V....

1500 watts = 5119 BTU/hr but the actual electrical current used and converted to heat varies with the line voltage. The 1500 watt rating probably assumes a line voltage of 120v. I would assume about 5000 BTU/hr.

The wattage is not listed on the unit. But it does say, "Any questions, call 1-800-233-0268."Oh heck, I went ahead and Googled it. It has two heat settings. The highest setting is 1500 watts. The lower setting is 750 (or 900) watts.

Your heater is a pure resistive load plus maybe a small motor and the switch says it will handle a 1 hp motor which is a much more demanding load. As some of the other answers noted, a heater should be fine. 800 watts is well within the range of load they specify. A 1500 watt heater will probably work fine too. Higher than that is asking for trouble (which will be refusal to shut heater off or failure to turn it on after a bunch of uses).If it doesnt work, buy a husky and hug it when you get out of the shower.

1500w - 2000w. If the heater is turmed on for longer time (hours or more) I would recommend 2000w.

as far as i know, it run on 750 pretty much all the time. Eco mode setting allows us to warm a room up efficiently. unless the room is extremely cold to begin with, it sounds like it runs on 750. i can hear it. sometimes it releases hot air stronger and louder. im assuming that is the moment running on 1500. but like i said, it happens only on rare occasion and only for a few seconds. ive been saving so much ever since i got these (i have 2) and i usually set the temp 65-68F and have been only using eco mode

I did some research on oil filled portable heaters before I bought the DeLonghi. The highest setting is 1500 watts, the medium setting is 1000 watts and the minimum setting is 500 watts. I am very pleased with this heater. I use it in the unfinished part of my basement and it keeps the temperature actually where I set it. Remember, if your power goes off, you must reset the heater. Hope this helped.

Mine says 1200 Watts. It has 3 settings ...hot, warm, and cool. Can't tell you how much I love this thing!

The unit I have has 1600 Watt raging on it. A 1500 watt appliance would be pushing the upper limit.

since it's only a 400/800 watt heater, it's more of a spot heater. Since your room is 15x20, you should look into a more powerful heater that puts out 1500 watts in one of its settings. I actually don't use the oscillating feature because it's not that powerful and usually use the 800 setting for just a couple of hours. Overnight, I switch it to the 400 watt setting.I think those Living Pure infrared heaters would heat up your 15x20 room easily and those heaters radiate the heat everywhere whereas this heater is more of a directional, spot heater

I am not an electrician but I have heard an electrician in my office building state that most heaters use 1500W of power, and it is enough heat to keep me warm at my desk. I suppose if I was looking for a heating unit at my house since it does not have central heat & air then I would go with a product that produces more heat but costs more.

All heters are the same really. 1500 watts is 5000 BTUs and it doesn't matter much after that. 13x14 worked fine for me but it depends on house insulation, and outside temperature. It was also supplemental, as the centeral heater was holding the rest of the house at 63.

It's a nice little heater, however all heater use a lot of electricity. It is still a 1500 watt heater. Work good in a small space

Hi, it wasn't too noisy at all but I returned it and bought an oil heater instead .... A radiator. The reason was because we prefer the "warmth" of an oil radiator

Yep, it is only a 200 watt heater... blows cool air in my opinion. .. we have two of them.... both the same... we are returning one... ones without fan are 10X the drying /heating power. Regret the purchase

It's 1500 Watts. I'm not sure if it's the same as the white/gray model. We are very pleased with this model and it has worked great for over a year now!
