Questions and Answers for Stanley Utility 1500-Watt Electric Ceramic Portable Space Heater with Pivot Power

A:  This heater does have a blower on it. On low, the warm air coming out is moderate. On high, you can really feel it. I just checked my local home depot and I can order this and have it delivered to home on Sept. 25. I looked up internet number 202843067 and found it. I use mine all the time during the winter. Hope this helps

A:  Yes, it has a blower and two heat settings. I have two of them for my workshop.

A:  I use it to heat a 1 car garage and it maintains the temp at around 70 degrees.

A:  I use this to keep my little shop comfortable. It has a thermostat which helps quite a bit. A good heater for the money.

A:  I had two of them they worked great till it stop working the buttons are the problem i think but I loved it blew out strong and hot but again stoped working think its also had something to do with the temp gauge

A:  we used it in a 10x10 den and it was comfortable while watching t v

A:  Doesn't get hot.

A:  Yes, it can. I sell tickets at our high school football games and we attach it to an extension cord in order to heat our booth!

A:  yes as long as it is an appliance cord or heavier type cord

A:  No, this cannot be hooked up to an extension cord.

A:  Yes it can. I used it to bring the temperature up in a room that I was laying laminate flooring. It was on an extension cord the whole time very nice portable heater. I have used it many times on different projects

A:  It sure can. The extension cord I used is rated for 1,875 watts, is yellow in color, and is 25-feet in length. My furnace stopped working, and I used two of these Stanley heaters, each on their own extension cord, to prevent my pipes from freezing until I could get it fixed. Extension cords were needed in my case to bring the heaters to where the pipes were, so they would not freeze in the 12 degree below zero weather. I really like how this Stanley heater can run for hours and no where on the unit does it get hot to the touch.

A:  yes it can just make sure the extension is a heavy duty one.

A:  This doesn't have a way to set to an exact temperature, but in my experience the lowest setting causes it to turn off when the room is in the 50sF. The range to turn off is probably around 60F to 80F.

A:  35?

A:  Hi Jdk83. Thank you for your question. The Lasko 1500-Watt Pro-Ceramic Utility Electric Heater has an adjustable thermostat control for personalized comfort and a built-in ceramic safety: self-regulating ceramic element, automatic overheat protection. That would mean that yes, it will turn off when the desire temperature is reached. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

A:  I bought mine for deer hunting, we stay in an older 30' camper. I plug this in and set the thermostat on it just in case we run out of gas or furnace goes out. I know we wont loose power! It works pretty good but I haven't used just this for heat but I dont think you'd freeze if this is all you had, it heats the place pretty good.

A:  I have a 30ft motorhome that I have two of them in. They keep the temperature very comfortable and when I am not using it, I keep them on to keep pipes from freezing.

A:  Yes. Very good little heater. Always plug directly into wall outlet not extension cord!

A:  no

A:  Yes it has a ground plug. It has never tipped over on us. We love them. Bought one for My Mom and my sister, they love them!

A:  No, the portable heater doesn't have a ground plug and tip over safety.

A:  No ground plug. Doesn't heat very well either. Was pretty disappointed. Sorry

A:  Yes, it does have a ground plug. As far as "Tip Over", I never checked it out for that. I use for out door heating for our dogs Dog House. Be careful if you intend to relocate it and you walk past the pool. I do know that it will not float; too heavy. It will go straight down to the bottom of the pool and go down rather quickly. After weeks of trying to dry it out, talking to it expressing my thoughts and throwing it down on the garage floor several times, I could not get it to work any longer. That being said, it does create a lot of black smoke. Cecil H. LeMond Decatur, Texas

A:  There is no ground plug and no tip-over switch. For it to over-turn, it would need to be kicked-over because it is stable.

A:  yes to both questions

A:  No, this model does not have an auto shut off feature. It does have a ground.

A:  Yes it has a ground plug. ! am not sure on tip over safety, but I would say to tip it over you would have to pick it up with both hands and turn it over. It is in other words the most stable heater I have ever seen ..William I also consider it the safest I have ever seen in my 60 plus years!

A:  No, this unit is rated for 300 sq ft. Most 2 car garages are 400 sq ft. Mike

A:  I wouldn't recommend this heater for a two-car garage. It works great in my 15 x 17 foot kitchen to supplement my old radiator heating however. I would recommend a 240 volt heater of at least 3000 watts in a two car garage. This is a 1500 watt heater which would have a difficult time warming a 2 car garage, especially when it's freezing outside.

A:  Mine stay simi luke warm.

A:  Being 1500 watts means it's running at 12.5 Amps. If your plugged into a 15 amp circuit it's probably getting warm because it's taking a lot from that circuit to run it. If you plug it into a 20 amp circuit (kitchen, garage etc.) It probably wont get hot on the plug. If it does return it for a different one.

A:  My cord and plug gets a little warm...but not hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold/touch. I have been using my heater through two winters and have found this to be normal and not an issue.

A:  It’s normal, I have a vacumn that does it too. Had the heater for 2 winters now and it functions perfect. Good warm air and blows great compared to other 120 volt heaters.

A:  Probably, since it is a max 1500 watts.

A:  Yes and it will drain that battery in a very few minutes.

A:  if your inverter is efficient (actually producing close to 3000w), absolutely yes. But amp draw when this turns on is the issue...I don't know what it is so find out. Every 1000w gives you about 80 amps (12 volt DC to 110 volt AC). I can't imagine this heater uses that many amps alone, but if you have other things running off that inverter things could get dicey. Personally I'd try it, only takes a second to find out while you watch it. Send it back if it doesn't. Or you can TRY to get ahold of the manufacturer in China and see what they think.

A:  The running watts is 1500 and if you figure the starting watts is double, then your 3000w power inverter should work fine.

A:  Yes I use my portable Heater Power 1500,is very good product
