I have a small 1200w in a 4m x 4m room it will happily raise the temp 5c-10c up to 21c On setting 1, so 600w at just above Min setting and with the rest of the house being 9c to 16c, The is 100w of heat from the PC also, that is often the only heat needed here, But for the most part when i put on the heater it really only clicks on for 3min every 30min, But maybe this room is just well insulated. Its now off today and 21c in here so i cant plug in my meter to give you a reading.
