Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Space Heater for Home with Adjustable Thermostat, Timer and Remote Control, 22.5 Inches, Grey/Black, 1500W, 751320

Our HVAV unit (Central Heat & Air Pump Unit) died on us a couple of years ago. It was already like 40 years old and was outdated the repair guy said the compressor was dead and to replace the unit would cost around $20K. Then we had to rely on the backup old style heating coils use on the inside part of the unit which caused our power bill to go from $220/month to $600 during the winter months. I have used so many different space heaters only to be disappointed with their performance but I couldn't continue to pay these high power bills so I finally decided to try this model. I ordered it at like 10pm and got it the next morning at 7am. Got to give Amazon credit for a super fast delivery but you want to know about the heater. I have been closed off in my bedroom trying to stay warm so I immed. opened the box and had it plugged in and running withing 5 minutes. I haven't even had to use the max heat setting so I used the high heat setting (which is the only heat setting that will allow the automatic off and on thermostat function to work) and I set it on 75 degrees and my bedroom was roasting hot within 1 minute. I had to turn it down to 70 and it is almost down to 30 degrees outside so I was already freezing cold. Now it rarely ever has to even turn on and then only for about 90 seconds. This would probably heat a large living room with no problem and for those of you wondering about the cost of running a space heater, I have to agree with the guy in another review I read. ALL space heaters are gong to use around 1,500 watts when running, I have used many and it is true so just get the model that best suits you but this one is by far the best one I have ever owned in my entire life. I cannot tell you how much it will lower my power bill since I only got 1 for the bedroom but with another to heat the living room/kitchen area. I think my power bill will back down to around $320 during the cold months but I will update this review after I get my power bill and see the drop in price. Bear in mind that I really need to get 1 more for the open living room/kitchen area before I can see a drastic drop in price as the main heat is still kicking on but with 1 more of these heaters I think it will cut that power bill down to what I can afford to pay. I have been sitting here for about an hour now and it is still toasty in my bedroom and the heater hasn't even needed to turn back on yet. If you really needed to save money I believe you could use 2 of these and set them on 65 degrees and be able to get through the cold winter months without those super high power bills no matter what your heating situation problem is. I will definitely be ordering a second one to keep my home heating element from running. I will update this post with details on how much I save on my power bill but this heater will definitely heat a large room. It is actually more than I need for a bedroom only. You will need to buy 2, 1.5v AAA batteries if you want to use the remote. Batteries not included but not a big deal for me. I keep a drawer full of rechargeable batteries but I don't even see the need to use the remote for myself but it does have one if that is something you like.

I bought a Lasko unit a few years ago and it has been working like a champ. In Dec. 2024 we needed a second space heater to we bought another Lasko. Unfortunately the second one died in 5 months,I was frustrated and threw the 5 month old unit out before thinking that there might be a warranty. I contacted Lasko but they need info that I can't provide because I no longer have the unit. To my pleasant surprise, they accepted my explanation and sent me a replacement unit.That's what I call first class customer service!

Even Florida can get quite cold in the winter, and our large bath/shower room (12x15 ft.) is tile-covered and doesn’t seem to warm up. We put this in the middle of the room and leave it for months. When the temperature drops to our setting, about 68*, it automatically comes on and blows warm air in and ocillates until the temperature rises to about 75*, when it shuts itself back down to sleep mode, until the room temperature drops to 68* again. It’s great to go into the bathroom on a cold night or morning and find it heated.

The overheat shutoff function works, this is the key comment. Despite any complaints, it saved our lives by not catching on fire. All Lasko fans used in my household in every room. Their ions are dreams, and way easy to clean if you use a toothpick carefully (don’t believe a vacuum hose or nozzle will clean them). Unfortunately, no cleaning out the heaters, but it lasted two years with pretty constant use. I hand wash all clothes a lot, so the room heater is drying off the clothes while a fan blows air, fresh like clothesline without disgusting pollen, bugs, and lord knows what else. Great air push, strong with a good cycle so the entire room in front of it gets very warm and comfy. I like the noise it makes, soothing hum. My cats adore it and want to live in front of for the rest of their lives. So spoiled. Actually gets them to get along, blood sisters that are great at being drama queens. This fan makes them cuddle and love; world peace officials, this is the solve!Also very much in use this bitter cold winter. That’s when it finally died. I bought the better version with more finite adjusting of the temp-sad not available at the time I purchased this one because I think it also would’ve made a major difference. The BIG issue, 70•, 75• ; nothing in between. 75 is way too hot, 70 is too chilly in the room it’s in use. My family is tortured by the fact I’m super hot, and they get cold like normal people. The fact 75• makes the plug super hot. It took awhile, but it literally burnt out the wiring and melted into the surge protector. So scary! It didn’t even smell burnt, and shut down hard on its own again when I didn’t notice at first and tried to turn it on. I will update review with the surge protector company if I can find it -sorry if I can’t; because the two in tandem kept a fire from starting. Quite amazing, why you should always buy surge, not extension cord. Enjoy your warm house, worth the price! 🙊
