Pardon me, but I suggest you reset your brain back to before you opened the box or even earlier, like when you purchased the heater. Space heaters that use 1500 watts have to get the power from the wall outlet. The typical home circuit breaker for a room is 1500 watts. You should know that. Everybody should know that. You can only plug in 1500 watts of stuff into one circuit. You have a panel of circuit breakers somewhere in your residence that is connected to the 220v main. Ideally you should be familiar with that panel and the individual breakers should be labeled according to which rooms or appliances they supply.
Anyway the only fault here is your own for being ignorant about how your home is powered by electricity. Any 1500 watt appliance of any kind plugged into a wall outlet will preclude using any other electrical device on that circuit.
Thank you for saving me the effort of writing something similar.
On topic, I have a couple of these heaters in my 2200 square foot Wisconsin home, and while there’s no way on Earth they will keep the cold away on their own, they do a better job than the crappy baseboard heaters on their own, and it doesn’t cost me any more money to heat.
OK I may be dumb here but 1800 square feet heated by this? My entire house is less than that. With rooms and walls. I can’t see how this would heat my entire house with doors and walls in the way. Must be intended for one big open room for people who live in mansions or something. Or a giant garage… LOL
it will heat a small room fast with very little money in the end. or a large room without having to run forever and ever and not ever shutting off, costing lots of money.
If you use this heater, you will get a “Thank You” card from your electric company. You’ve been warned!

Which one is better?? and why?
Why is it they don’t want to list the warranty on the heater? Last time this was offered I checked the Lifesmart website and found (and posted in the thread) refurbished products were not warrantied… at all. I am unable to locate any information on the website now about refurbished item warranties, nor am I able to find the listing for this specific heater under current products or legacy products.

this covered by a 90 day woot! warranty. which I believe is the minimum all refurbished products carry.

A little heavier on the nice-nice, please.
