Does anyone leave this heater on 24/7 to keep a steady temperature? .....Even when not at home?

It is not normally recommended BUT if there was one that could do it, it would be this one. I have several of the Lasko Cyclonic units and I feel they are very safe. We have used them for years (so they last) and we are extremely safety conscious.

I really like this heater but I am not comfortable leaing any space heater unattended. It will be interested to see what other answers u get.

I used to, when the outside temp drops below 30 F. this heater struggles. Although I do have an open room apt, so it's heating two floors.Keeping it on 24/7 will keep my place at 61-62 F., my apt is 750 Sq. Ft. open ceiling. This unit will have no problem staying on 24/7, youcould also set your desired temp. and it will cycle on and off throughout the day.Space heaters get a bad rep., as long as you don't stick flammable objects in front of this unit orbury it in laundry it will not be any more dangerous then a baseboard heater.

I do and have used this model in three rooms for years. Constantly running with no issues!

My husband and I sleep better when it's cooler in the house but we don't want our young children to get too cold at night. We have one of these in each of their bedrooms and it keeps the temperature steady and warm in their rooms while they sleep. We are very happy with our heaters!

I hope I don't steer you wrong here, I leave mine on 24/7 at full blast. My cat is old & she needs constant heat. You might want to be carefull not to let the room it is in get too hot. My last one was the same model as this, when I shut the door to the small room I keep it in for more than four hours, it burned out. Good Luck Joe.

My room is 20 by 12. The heater will raise the temp from 50 to 68 in about an hour and a half and maintains that temp with no problem, turning itself on and off to maintain constant temp.

I use my heater inside my home. I don't operate it at night or around my small grandchildren but as long as you monitor it, I believe it is a safe unit to operate. I usually operate it in the evenings until bedtime and on weekends. It uses about 2 20# tanks of propane a week. Since it is equipped with an OPD sensor, it seems to be OK for indoor use.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

Not sure, I've never tried leaving it on when I'm not in the room. I use this heater to heat ME only when I'm working. When I want to incease the overall temperature of the shop I use a heater with a fan included.

We use our heater in our garage/ "my Man cave" and have had no issues at all. The heater works great and has "kicked off" if I accidentally nudge it passing by.

No problem. Just do not allow the water to boil off completely. I use a programable thermostat to shut the heater off or hold at a desired temperature.

Yes you can set a certain temperature and it will maintain it for you. You don't have to turn it on/off

I have had this heater for 2 years now and I rent out a room and it is perfectly fine to leave it on overnight I have done so on many occasions and never had a problem once.

I keep the temp. in the house at 58* during winter nights.. [We all have down blankets on our beds.] It has to get really cold for the central heat to turn on. I ONLY turn it on when I go to bed and usually the second time I wake up [during the night] I turn it off. My heating bill is much less that my A/C bill in the summers!

If you leave it on all the time, it will keep a small to medium sized room fairly warm. It will not heat a room right away or keep a room warm if its really cold. The one issue I have with this heater is that it cracked after normal usage.

I think this is a fantastic little heater. For some reason, the corner where I sit to watch tv gets chilly. I put the heater on a small table to the side of me and let it oscillate. Keeps me warm and cozy without being smothering. You can set the temperature you want and it cycles on and off. It's whisper quiet! My furnace went out just a week or two after I bought it and for a week it was my only source of heat. In less than a day it heated one fairly large room and bathroom without any problem. Best of all, I didn't notice any change in my electric bill (my furnace is gas w/an electric thermostat). I think this is a fantastic little heater.

I run mine 24/7. I just turn it off to clean it, then turn it back on again.

I have not had any issues keeping my bed warm. This is a very high quality heater, I would suggest purchasing a faucet adapter from lowes or home depot and filling the bladder with warm or hot water to begin with. This will make the bed comfortable to sleep on immediately, and reduces the strain on the heater from running constantly for 4 or 5 days to heat the mattress. I think that the 24 hour running to initially heat the bladder is when you cause issues later on.

I often leave mine on continuously overnight and for several days. Just ensure your heat setting is not too high.
