Can this be set to off or only a minimum setting of 40 degrees? I need to be able to shut off completely . Thanks

It cannot be shut off unless you trip the breaker to the thermostat. The lowest setting is 41 degrees.

No you have to unplug it to shut it off. However, it is designed to provide low heat. This is the second one I have owned.I wore the other one out. Usually we do not get temperatures below low to mid 20's and not many of them.

Since they do not use degrees as a measurement on the dial you can only set for low which in most of these heaters is around 50 degrees. They will vary between them and the manufacturers will not guarantee any setting. They just expect you to find an adequate setting for your needs. The difference in operation time from 40 to 50 degrees is negligible in my estimation so just using the lowest setting no matter the temp should be adequate for most situations. Hope this helps.

I have mine set at 73 degrees. The unit stays on and blows fan and not a/c when it hits your temperature. It must have a thermostat. It stays on all the time either fan or a/c. It does have a shut on/off timer that you can set also for a 24 hours cycle to turn it on/off.

There are no numbers, so cannot set it for a specific temperature. You just get used to where you want the setting by how warm the room gets. No fan blowing the air out, so you don't hear anything "shut off", just less heat radiating out of it. There are 2 settings with a button, then you can move the dial. We always have the button on the low setting and about middle of the dial, and warms our dining room/living room nicely. Awesome is that heat comes out both sides and the top. The cats and dog love to lie by it. No one has ever gotten burned by touching it either. Love this heater, our second one. First one lasted us 3 years of steady wintertime use.

As far as I know you can set the temp to what ever you want. I have only set my unit to 50, but never tried setting any lower.

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)

Not a full answer: I estimate the maximum temperature at which the unit turns off one the thermostat is set at maximum to be around 80, perhaps 85.

You can set the temperature at any point. I wouldn't buy this product it quit working for me 2 days after the warranty ran out.

The unit has an automatic shutoff that can be set for various temperatures. I have set it to "maximum" and, although the shutoff temperature is not specified, based on my experience it must be well above 80. I don't know, however, what temperature it will not heat above.

You can set it at a temperature and it will keep the area you are heating at that temperature. We keep ours at 72 degrees and it is very comfortable. When it reaches 72 degrees it shuts it self off and comes on again when it goes below 72.

It automatically shuts off if it becomes too warm, so you could. And with ComforTemp it keeps it between 68-70 degrees. I personally feel more secure turning appliances off if I'm gonna be gone for an extended time though.

Turn the temp. of the low alarm down to lower than what the actual low temp. will reach, i.e. 32°F. That should shut it off until such time you need a low alarm.

No if u turn the temp down to 43 it will shut off. If u use a higher setting it will run the fan only but only for a short time and then shut off.

There is no way to regulate the temperature-it's one temperature fits all. There is also no on/off button or timer. Plug it in and it heats to a predetermined temperature. It stays on until you unplug it.

It has a min and max setting and an automatic shut off switch for both temperatures but it is not set to a traditional thermostat. The settings are high and low not variable

You can't turn it off unless you unplug it. It's the same temperature while plugged in.
