If added warmth is all you need in your space, then the Duraflame Infrared Heater is the perfect choice. This advanced form of heat gently warms your room (up to 1,000 Sq. Ft.) with 5200 BTUs that will not dry out your air like a traditional coil heater will. Infrared heat works with the natural humidity within the air, making it the ideal choice for those with breathing issues or asthma. A digital thermostat has been integrated into the unit which makes it easy to set the desired temperature for your room. This smaller-sized heater fits into virtually any room and won't take up much space on your floor. The unit is incredibly lightweight so it's convenient to move the unit from room to room, wherever additional heat is needed the most. With its on/off timer setting, you'll be able to set an operation time anywhere from 30 minutes to 9 hours, at which time the unit will turn itself off. This is a great feature for use at bedtime. This Duraflame heater comes fully assembled and ready to use directly out of the box. Simply plug it in and enjoy.
