I am looking for a safe heater to use for emergencies, in case of a power outage. Is this safe to use indoors, any suggestions will be useful.

Safer than most. I use it to heat my tent when camping. Clean, practical, efficient.

I would use it in an emergency. I used it on arecent camping trip in a tent...not while we slept, but I would feel comfortable using it in a well ventilated area. Of course keep it away from walls, curtains, bedding, etc. I was impressed. It works great, cranked out decent heat for a small heater and the butane tank lasts long.

The Manufacturer says for out door use only. I have used other units like this in doors and will use this one. You must keep the space where it is well ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. And like any space heater keep all flammable items away from it.

My XL heater cabinet does not get hot, nothing gets hot that i know of on the furnace, the heat warms the air and furniture ....got one for my granddaughter's room, she's 4, I have found to be very safe! However, I would not put my finger on the heater front port, don't know if it is hot or not....re emergency, i would turn it off with the remote

I would be very prudent using this appliance indoors. It does produce monoxides. Propane fuel burns quite cleanly with properly adjusted air/gas mixtures.

Yes, it is safe. I bought it for emergency heat but haven't used it much, thank goodness. So far so good!

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.

Hello, I only use it in my bathroom which has a wooden floor and it quickly heats up the small room. I can't use it in my living room when the TV is on. It causes a power outage.

The brief time that mine worked I used indoors. No problem. Propane burns so efficiently there is little carbon monoxide.

I'm sure it is safe. I returned my heater, but it was due to it being loud, although it is advertised as being quiet. The performance (heating) was good.

Hello, The Lifesmart Heater i bought never worked good. I believe that i got a defective model. I fixed it myself and found loose wire connections inside of the unit. It reduces my electrical bill about 25% but i use two heaters in my house. One is the Lifesmart 1500 and the other is a different model Diva Tranquility 1500 model. I like the Diva model much better and the two infrared heaters combined heat my entire house well. My home is 1,260 sq. ft. and i set the heaters at 65 degrees and dont use my big whole house heater all winter. I do save some electricity in Kentucky. Our electric is expensive here and higher than a lot of other places we lived. I hope this helps you out!

Definitely ! I use one just like this in my small livingroom that has a wood floor, and on the 800 watt setting it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the temperatures drop down in the 20's. It will keep the temperature at about 66 to 67 degrees which is just fine for me :) It beats the high electricity bills I get if I were to use the walls heaters my home came with ! Just make sure you set it out in the open so it can work properly, and not right up close to you ! If I need a little extra up close heat I just use my heated electric throw/blanket. When your on a fixed income, this heater will take care of you ! Definitely !

Personally, I would not recommend this for indoors. It really only heats in an upward direction, and not a very large area at that. Being propane powered, I would not recommend for indoors unless properly ventilated and by doing that, you lose a lot of heat.

Sure, as long as you feel safe with it indoors. Keep in mind it is a lantern burning a flame powered by one of the approved fuels. But it's no different than the pioneers used before we had electric lamps. It's why many would call it a hurricane lantern! But it will emit some fumes but nothing horrible. Indoors, I'd prefer to use battery powered devices during power outages indoors myself, but this lantern can certainly be used as well for emergencies or simply ambience of the good ole' days!! :) However, we bought ours to use outside on our patio and out by our fire pit.

This is a great heater. We haven't had a power outage this winter - so am unable to answer your question. However, I'm sure it would restart automatically & keep its setting. A good question for the manufacturer.

I've never used it inside, but I would think that it is. I've read on reviews that people have used it indoors during power outages. The fire isn't big.

I would recommend you use 2 600W heaters for such a big room that is not insulated at all. These heaters are the safest available ones and this supplier is the only to offer 600W. If I were you I would purchase 3 600W heaters and install them around the room

I understand that one can get a hose to attach to the heater to allow for venting. If you did that, I believe it would be fully safe; at least I personally would be willing to use it inside if fumes were vented out. Otherwise, I would not use it inside while I was sleeping.
