Best Heaters for Family Room

very pleased with this space heater.as noted in other reviews, the oscilation range is small.tried it first in the family room, which is relatively small but open to the rest of the house.

this heater does not work as well in the family room which is very open; even when you are sitting close to it.

we bought this heater and at the highest setting it keeps our 12' x 15' family room about 70 degrees.

it is perfect for our florida room some nights when it gets a bit chilly, it is also great for our bedroom or family room on a cold night when we don't want to light the fireplace.

i placed this in front of our fireplace in our lower level family room that has a draft.

the comfortemp model heats up our entire great room/family room/dining room and kitchen, which is one big open space with hardwood floors and gets chilly.

i am going to get another one for the family room.

but in rooms where the occupants will be spending hours (bedrooms, family room, home office), the slow, steady heat of the honeywell 690 is perfect.
