You will not have that problem with this thermostat. Mine works like a charm, and I like the fact it is digital...and accurate.

I am very satisfied with the cycle rate, and the thermostat for that matter. It is simple, and not programmable. It will cycle in whole degrees, not something less like a half degree. It also can be set at a slow cycle that is recommended for water or steam heating. Mine has been working perfectly.

My unit is behaving exactly as what you (and the user manual) describe. I set the thermostat temp to a comfortable 68 degrees. The unit heats up to +4, which is 72 degrees, and then it shuts off. That's great. However, as soon as my room temperature drops to 71 degrees, which is about 2 minutes later, the unit kicks back on in LOW mode. This is WAY too sensitive. When the room temperature reaches 72 degrees again, which is about 30 seconds later, the unit shuts off again. The unit cycles between 71 and 72 degrees, and therefore, turns on and off continuously every couple of minutes or so. Mind you, neither 71 nor 72 is my desired temperature. The constant clicking on/off makes this feature unusable. It is quite ironic that this feature is called Save Smart. It should be renamed "Waste Dumb" in my opinion.

No, you have one set-point. The controller runs either the heat or cooling to maintain that temp. So if you set your temp at 20*, if it drops to 19.7*, heat would kick on. If it rises to 20.3*, cooling would kick on.

I am not aware of the exact temp cycle, but it doesn't cycle very often. We really don't notice it, because our system is very well balanced. We don't hear the air flow, as much as feel the air movement . Hope this helps. Reno John

Hello Julia... it is. This is a power saving feature. The AC gears up until it reaches your desired temperature and it gears down to save energy. After the cool down it gears up again to regain the temperature. Greetings.

The dial works but you cannot set the temperature there to the specific degree you want. I tested it with a thermometer until it reached more or less the temperature I want. My perception is that it not always stops at the same degree but it works for me anyway. Is better that another I had that only stops when is is boiling.

Yes it has a temperature control but it is not a degree. When it is hot enough back it down until it turns off and then it will set at that setting.

The answer lies in another question. Is your furnace turning on and off a the appropriate times? If it is then the thermostat is doing what it is designed to do, control room temperature. The one you have chosen is very sensitive, plus or minus one degree. It is possible that the thermostat does not see any major changes in temperatures, since the wall the thermostat is mounted on, is a thermal mass that can buffer the actual air temperature variations in the room. Try placing a good thermometer next to the thermostat and see if there is a difference in what they are reading.

Mine has never got too hot. It cycles on and off depending upon the temperature setting. I set mine on 70 degrees and leave it there. When room temperature reaches 70 it shuts off - first the heat and then the fan after it cools a bit. Works just like your whole house thermostat.

Yes, one degree at a time. The thermostat only works on the high setting (1500 watts) and not on the low setting, (500 watts). BTW, this is a great little heater for the money. It does the job well on low and I never use the high setting and I never leave it on when asleep.

Yes, I have had mine for about a year and it works great, I have it set at 87 degrees and it is right on. I have only one complaint and that is the price

No, the one I received has only a low and high setting. I also have 20,000 and 30,000 BTU versions and they sort of have a thermostat. You set it to a level between 1 and 5 (low and high) and then it turns off when it reaches it's temp... but there is no indicator to tell what temp that might be. it's a trial and error sort of thing and it changes with the temp in the room. If it's real cold, then I have to turn it up. The fans are nice for distributing the warm air and can be set come on when needed rather than running the whole time.

Once you set the temp., it remains at that set temperature until you change it.Even after you turn it off and then on again.

No, the remote does not indicate the actual temperature at the base unit, nor what the temperature setting is on the base unit, on the remote that I have. It only allows you to increase/decrease the setting. But it is very reliable and easy to learn what your setting is if you program it. We listen for the click of the relay at the base unit to know if the AC or furnace is going to come on.

Yes the thermostat can be set in 1 degree increments. You can also set the heat to turn on or off automatically within 10 hours. This heater had been a lifesaver with our basement bedroom. I also keep one in the bathroom set to turn on an hour before I get up. Keeps me from dreading getting out of bed :-)

Yes. It is normal. I think of . it kind of like how an air condition unit works. It is continuously regulating the temperature to get it to the temperature. I could elaborate but I think you get the idea. Hope I helped.

You start it at highest level until you are comfortable and then turn it down to a setting that keeps the temp the same as when you were comfortable. It goes off and on. I love it!
