How often does the heater come on? Is it well enough insulated as not to have to cycle on/off constantly?

Really don't know, but I've had three of these and have never had a problem with excessive electric bills.

yes, it is well insulated and does not turn on and off constantly. I used to look under the sink frequently to see if it was on or not and rarely do I see it on unless I have just used a lot of hot water.

I really don't know how many times it recycles, but one thing I can say, when you want HOT water, you got it. It's so quite, you don't know when it recycles. The unit is well insulated. I don't even warm up the cabinet under the sink where it's located. I just love my unit. No more wasting water while waiting for the hot water to come from the big water heater. I hope this answers you query. Ron in Phoenix.

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

I run it for weeks, it has a temp control so when my room gets to that temp it will turn off so it is not on all the time. Great Heater

Hey Ron 2 question where are you operating this heater and when you say it keeps going out do you mean it comes on and off frequently

This is the best portable electric heater I have ever had. It's quiet but has a fan for circulation and an optional oscillator to assure heating is not always focused on a single point. The thermostat is programmable and will shut the heater off when the ambient temp. gets to the setting. When that occurs the fan shuts off and when the temp. falls again, the unit restarts automatically. This process does not occur without changes in decibels.

It hangs in my unheated, but insulated garage in a north central state. It is used more occasionally than regularly, but has been used in all seasons and operates satisfactorily. No problems with its operation.

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.

Depends what the outside temp is. I use the heater is a summer place during the upstate NY winters- 0-30 degrees- to knock the chill out of the house and supplement with electric heaters. Generally get the weekend and more out of a 20 pound tank. That's running the heater intermittenly when needed. Should last quite a while in a small space, running at low, with mild outside temps. The key is to run it intermittenly as needed for longest life out of a tank.

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.

I heat 900 square feet insulated garage in bitter cold northern Minnesota on the 1st setting. I have had to turn it up to 2nd setting for some people to be comfortable. Its a great heater very happy with it.

Mine also goes on and off frequently. Very little really running on it. Sometimes it's on all the time, but it doesn't get super hot underneath.

Yes we use our garage in the winter as a smoking area for guest and have a small heater in there. There is a noticible differance in how often the heater comes on.

Not really... its more a space heater than one of those event heaters ya stand under out side. This thing kicks off way more heat than those out door stand up types BUT it is very loud and you would not be able to have a conversation with anyone close by it. I keep mine in the garage and turn it on for two or three minutes than turn it off. It runs for about three or four minutes AFTER ya turn it off and it is just as loud then too.
