Question 1

If I plug this to my car using 12v to 110v ac inverter (Adapter for wall mounted to car cigarette plug), would it work?

Accepted Answer

No, it would not. From what I’ve seen on Amazon, most inverters on amazon that plug into a car’s cigarette lighter are only capable of delivering 150 Watts. You would have more luck finding a small heater that plugs directly into the cigarette lighter. The issue with generating heat is it takes a lot of power that many batteries aren’t properly equipped to handle. Most can sustain a somewhat decent pull of maybe 100 Watts or so, but space heaters that warm up a room in a couple of minutes rely on the very high power (usually 1500 Watts) that (most of the time) only a proper wall outlet can provide.
A small heater would work, but it would also drain the battery without the car running, so it might be a good idea to have an extra source of power.

Question 2

What is the power source for this heater?

Accepted Answer

Any 120V standard outlet. The heater uses just 200 watts, so it does not tax the normal load of an outlet, like those that are 1500 Watts.

Question 3

How long is the cord?

Accepted Answer

......... really? one person says 40 inches and the other says 12 inches? Can someone else please answer this question? This is very important for me as I would probably not purchase it if it's 2ft or less. I have a small-to-mediumish bedroom (for a rowhouse in D.C.), and only two power outlets in my room. I have a loft bed that I could use the heater on, but the cord would need to be 40 inches minimum. Same goes for down below, I mostly hang out on the side of my room opposite to the two outlets, so it's nigh useless if it doesn't heat the room and doesn't stretch at least around 40 inches.

Question 4

Can it be used in the bathroom?

Accepted Answer

I use a cube-style heater on the opposite wall from the tub for the sole reason of pushing air up toward the exhaust fan in the ceiling over the toilet. That fan is already exhausting moist (shower) air... the heater, where it's located on the floor, prevents a foggy vanity mirror.  There is a GFCI outlet that's used for this heater.
