I got one of these last year because i wanted a strong heater in a small package, small footprint, to use in my bathroom, because the built in heater stopped working. It's perfect for heating a small room like that. Then i got another one for my bedroom, it's quiet, strong, and small, it fit into a small space near the bed. Then, i got a third one for the living room. The living room is a large room, and i use the heater like a small fire place, it really pumps out the heat. It's not going to heat the whole living room, but sitting next to it feels like sitting next to a small fire for warmth, very pleasant, not too hot when close to it, just a nice strong warmth. In the living room, the central heating doesn't do that well heating the lower part of the room on a cold night, the heat rises and it can be set on a high temperature and still be cold where we sit, so we use these heaters to warm up our space, nice source of heat, very portable, lightweight, sturdy. No complaints,...

This is a handy little heater that serves its intended purpose well - heating a small room. I use it to take the chill off my computer room which is not usually heated like the rest of the house since I'm not in there all that often. The unit itself is plastic with a metal grille, but it feels very sturdy and well made. The fan noise level is acceptable. It is far from silent, but is quiet enough that it doesn't interfere. The controls are straight-forward. One dial is the power dial which has 4 settings: Off - Fan - Low - High. The other dial is the thermostat with an infinite range of settings between - and +. (I've found that just below the halfway point is very comfortable, but then again, the winters in California aren't exactly subarctic)I'd recommend this for anyone with a small area to heat. a bedroom, computer room, sewing room, etc. (mine's in a room about 12 foot square). I doubt it would efficiently heat a room that was too much larger...

Sensors Cause Problem in Climate-Controlled Workroom

May 22, 2012 | The plan was to use two portable air conditioners rated at 12,000 BTUH to cool and dehumidify about 700 cubic feet with 100 percent fresh air. The working theory of the project supervisor was that the air coming from the air conditioner would be at the same temperature as the thermostat. I tried explaining that most HVAC units put out air at the maximum cooling and dehumidification possible, which then mixes with room air and recirculates until the desired setting is reached. A company that I worked for was building, or trying to build, a climate-controlled workroom that was supposed to be 60F to 70F, and less than 30 percent relative humidity. The dew point of 60F and 30 percent is about Numerous attempts to properly control the climate of the room failed. Read more »

Questions & Answers

Does a portable heater cost more than the central heat in an apartment?

Oct 15, 2007 by Johnny

Just wondering, since winter is approaching, even down here in the south.

I live in a 2 BR apartment which I share with a friend. We were both trying to cut some expenses, therefore we were wondering which costs more, a portable stand heater or the central heat which will heat the whole apartment.

One is based on electricity, the other on natural gas, respectively, right?

How much do those portable heaters cost on average (electricity)?

Thanks in advance.

$28-$240 for a portable heater and the fuel between the two cost about the same now a days, but since the portable heater only heats specific places where you place it you will likely pay less electricity than natural gas.

That being said, the two sources heat differently. The portable heater radiates heat and makes objects warmer, not necessarily the air. Thus when you are sleeping the air your breathe may be a bit chilly causing illness, time off of work, doctor bills, etc. which all need to be accounted for when figuring out the balance sheet. I am not even going to talk about the fire risk that is often associated with these portable heaters too. I suggest you stick with the gas central heat, and insulate the windows to help keep the warm air from escaping.

What is the best portable heater for a basement that is my bed room?

Feb 11, 2008 by blackculinarygirl

I have bought a $10 portable heater for the basement and it would always blow a fuse in my living room. I will note that I am concerned that a heater will blow a fuse again. I am also cautious that something will catch on fire or something. I just want one that is safe, I can leave on all night, and that it will last for a long time. If someone can tell me what kinds to look for or the brand to look for that would be awsome.

I have one of those ones that look like a radiator and it heats my bedroom it has 3 settings 600,900,1500 watts to put out more heat but if your plugging it into a socket that won't send out that much juice it will blow the fuse to. If you have a real cheap heater it might be defective and thats why it's blowing the fuses
