I'm not sure if it will heat up that size room but I want to warn you that the two Vornado heaters I have purchased in the past were pieces of unreliable junk. I ended up spending more money for DR. HEATER (2 of them) and they both work great after over two years of usage - please avoid Vornado if you can.

We have forced air heating but our bedroom is on the far side of the house from the furnace. We've been using our Vornado for supplemental heat and it works very well. We turn it on around bedtime to bring the bedroom up to temperature.

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!!

I have two of them. Most heaters have high medium and low settings or 1-10. You can set these to maintain a temperature. I use one of them to heat a 10 x 20 room and another to heat around 400 square feet. These are the best space heaters I have ever had and I have had 15-20 of them. Don't expect real hot air. They work slowly to get to a temperature then maintain it. They are much safer than other heaters. I believe they are the best space heaters on the market.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

I assume the question is "Is the heater safe and does it reduce your power bill?" I will answer the question this way: I've bought a lot of oil filled electric radiators, and they always break down after a few years. I bought three of these, and they were all bad. (See my review.) I would not recommend it. Although the oil radiators have their good points, I prefer baseboard style heaters, which heat faster and also radiate heat. As for reducing your heating bill, it just depends on your use, the size of your house and many other factors. If you're able to reduce the entire house heat and just use an electric heater for one or two zones, then yes, you will probably save some on your heating bill.

From what I know, by reading all the information available, these Infrared Heaters are meant as an auxiliary heating source for a more expensive type of heating system, such as a baseboard electric type. Whether or not this Lifesmart heater will maintain warmth in an area which you described depends on how well your area is insulated, number of windows and doors, outside temperature and ceiling height. I have very good luck with my Lifesmart heater. Just for a trial, when the temperature was 28 degrees outside, the heater kept a 750 s.f. area at 62, set at 65 and low setting.

Greetings James, the room I have this unit in is about 2400 cubic ft and it does NOT keep the whole room at 65-70 deg only an area of approximately 8' x 8'. It really is good for a small bedroom. I use it to warm the sofa/seating area around the TV but beyond that I'd have to use the house heater. I got this to avoid having to use the house heater due to cost. It does the job for the small area only. Ciao, TLM

I purchased this vornado whole room heater, I am very satisfied with this unit. It heats up room immediately. It heats the room but is not hot touch, so it is not harmful around kids or pets. the warmth goes round the room, it seems to circulate, doesn't blow heat in just 1 direction. unit is stationary doesn't turn or oscillate, its more like a fan. I got this for my upstairs 3 rooms, I turn it on for about an hour and turn it off for the rest of the night and use my other space heater that is in the middle room for the rest of the night. I would highly recommend to anyone. I tried about 4 other units until I got this. we have snow here and the temperature is and has been between 7degrees to25.

I use it to heat a room of about 15' x 20' in size. It does just fine, when it is real cold outside (10 degrees or 22 degrees below freezing) it takes a while to reheat it up after a weekend or not using it a few days.

I use it to heat and cool a 14' by 17' den and it does the job. I don't think you need to worry about it being too much. A lot will depend on how cold/hot the room is in comparison to where the thermostat is located, and also the temperature of the heated or cooled air. I have a heat pump so the air is never real hot and it works out fine. A gas furnace might warm up a little faster but you also have a lot more area to heat.

I somewhat agree with ChrisMP. This unit can heat a large area (20X20) but not much more than that. I agree that the unit will be on all the time. It does not produce a lot of heat (hot air). It is best used to supplement your house heating system, used at a lower temp. I was using the Enerzen as a primary heater for my finished basement. On cold days (20's or below), this unit could not heat the room above 62 degrees. That's a little to cold for me. Now, on very cold days, I use the Enerzen to supplement a Vornado ATH1 that I purchased. The basement gets quite toasty. I hope this helps. I somewhat agree with ChrisMP.

I have two of these heaters, one in a room about 12x12 feet, one in a room about 12x20 feet. Both rooms can be maintained at 75 degrees with the heater control set at half of maximum or less when the outside temperature is as low as 25 degrees. Lower outside temperatures or a house with poorer insulation than mine would require higher settings, but there appears to be more capacity available.

I've had this heater for three years, and I haven't had any issues with cracking or breakage (and that includes a move.) And it's not so hot that it would burn someone unless they had bare skin contact on it for a prolonged period of time.My bedroom is about 10' x 13', and as long as I keep my bedroom door shut, it does a great job keeping it at about 68-70F on ~30F winter days.

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

It will only help a little in a room that size. Unless it's well insulated it won't keep up with the whole room. If you just need it to be warm directly in front of the heater it will help. The thing is noisy as all hell, be warned, it will keep you awake at night.

The heating capabilities are good for my 500 s f game room, but 1200 might be too much area. Are the rooms well insulated? Would you have to leave the unit on overnight? How cold are we talking? I would say that it would WARM it, but not really HEAT it.

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.
