Can't heat close to 1200sqft. In fact, couldn't even heat 250sqft. effectively
This review is for all three LifeSmart heaters I purchased, and tested, using both a thermometer and a Kill-A-Watt unit. The models purchased were the 800sqft model, the 1200sqft model, and the 1500sqft model. I am not even going to bother with the model numbers because 1) they all suck, 2) LifeSmart changes model numbers from year to year even though it is the same exact unit, and 3) ...see #1. (I know this because I found two identical units in the store yet one had a slightly different model number and was produced two years ago compared to the newer produced on. Identical design, identical specs, identical instructions, etc.)
None of these can get even close to heating the square footage they claim. NOT EVEN CLOSE! I would venture to guess that most of the people giving this or other LifeSmart heaters high reviews have no clue how small a space they are actually heating when they test this.
Folks, the math isn't that hard.
If your room is 10' x 10'...
Works well for the price
It's on the middle to upper end of the infared heaters that are like this. It's great that it comes with 2 remotes (though you do have to provide your own batteries). It's quick to heat up and has a cool down feature when you shut it off so the blower stays on an extra minute or so. The thermostat works pretty well though since it sets at ground level the temps aren't overly accurate for keeping a room at a set temp. If it were higher up in the room it would probably do better.
As such I'd highly recommend it as it does work well and heats up nicely
