Heater heats an 900sq ft area well. Love the cozy faux flame. Perfect for condo or apartment as no room construction is needed to have it. Best value. I opted for the extended warranty which was probably not necessary as Duraflame has a good reputation but considering the overall price I didn't mind the extra $8. We are considering getting a second one for our bedroom.
In my opinion, this is the best and safest type of supplemental heater you can buy. It helps us heat our basement pretty quickly. It has a thermostat, overheat protection, and is cool to the touch, except right in from where the heat comes out. Nice to have the controls on top, it is easy to see. Unit also has a timer in which you can set it to run for 1 or up to 9 hours and then shut off automatically. I have tried several heaters in my basement and a couple other types of infrared heaters and this one seems to be the best overall. This is its second season of use and no problems at all to date.
I have a large open basement which gets very cold in the Midwest in the winter. Even though I have central gas heating the basement does not get as warm as the rest of the house. I have tried using two heaters at one time just to get the space about 69 degrees. I even purchased an infrared portable heater which cost more than this heater but still I had to use more than one heater at a time. Well I received this heater and the instructions were easy and all by itself it has heated the entire basement within twenty minute to 70 degrees and within an hour to a toasty 72 degrees. The area that it is heating is about 1500 square feet. I love this heater.
