Excellent

Excellent brand always. I have 4 of these and they work beautifully. Lots of features like timing, temperature, and oscillating. I have oil heat and have not used it in over 2 winters because these heaters work so well.

Very disappointed

I received this heater and thought it was amazing. It heated my 10x15 room effortlessly in 25 degree weather. On the 3rd morning I woke up to nothing but the red power light. Unfortunately I had to send it back.

Great Heater, great brand!

We love this heater so much, we have now bought three of them. One for our living room, one for our bedroom and one for our camper. In the camper, it is actually overkill, but allows us to not even turn the propane on... we usually set it on the low setting, and it keeps the space perfectly warm. We recently used it in a barn, that had no insulation at all and it kept the space in a about a 30 foot square toasty, even when it was at freezing. We are very impressed and would not hesitate to buy another. We are Lasko fans for life and have bought several other of their products as well.

Great Product!

Our master bedroom is the furthest room away from the central air unit, so any hot air is cold by the time it reaches the room. This heater does a great job at keeping the room the temperature that we want it when it's cold outside! Safety was a high concern of ours since all I had previously heard of space heaters was that they are dangerous and can cause many fires. I love the safety features that come with this heater. We set it at the temperature we wanted and left it on all night as we slept. It is fairly quiet. My husband is a light sleeper and is able to sleep through the night without this heater waking him up. We both highly recommend it!!

This is the best model and brand space heater

I've owned a lot of space heaters, this is without a doubt the best and most efficient one for the money. I wish they carried it in the store. I hope Lasko continues this model forever. The other ones with metal grates dont seem to expel near as much heat. This model has a digital temp. selection so you cN choose more than every 5°, making it more energy efficient. This model is the best!!

Powerful little guy!!!

I have a 480 sq ft addition and my minisplit had a problem and had to use this heater, as a matter of fact I still am using it until warranty parts come in for my minisplit... I purchased two one last year and this one thinking I may need two to keep it warm... WRONG!!! One kept that room at 75 with the temps outside being in the high 20s and low thirties... This is a powerful little guy and I am amazed by its heating capabilities in a large area...I have read people complaining about the smell, I had no problem with it... and the smell is caused by newness and goes away.... If youre looking for a powerful, good looking little heater, this one is amazing!

Does a good job as a supplemental heater.

This has been a pretty darn good heater for the purpose I bought it for. In my back bedroom I have a 220 volt 8 foot baseboard heater that I keep set at approximately 68°. I bought this heated a supplement the baseboard heater for days to get really cold here in Ohio. The heater reliably keeps the temperature between 68 and 72 which is what I wanted it to do. What I really like about it is that the thermostat seems to actually work, so many heaters out there where the thermostat only kind of works. This one seems to be spot on temperature.

great heater!!

this heater works so well! It also smells amazing, like clean, warm air. I don't believe I've ever enjoyed the smell of a heater so much! Did I mention it also works great?! super fast, and while it's not so quiet you can't hear it, it still pretty low noise. I'm satisfied so far!

Great performance for the price

I bought this model to replace an older one and wish I would have done so earlier Our house is heated by a pellet stove and the bedrooms are left a bit chilly (not fun for me getting dressed in the cold). I also use it if it gets too cold at night. Quite a few reviews mentioned how loud it was; I find it to be quite quiet. Love the heat control setting and it warms the rooms quickly. Great choice overall.

worked for a week

so this thing worked amazingly for about a week. it heated the area quickly and i could feel the powerful fan from over 7 fret away. sadly, this didnt last as roughly a week into our budding friendship, the heater stopped delivering. first, i noticed the fan wasnt as strong and i had to move it closer to my comfy chair if i wanted to feel the toasty air i had come accustomed to. next, the oscillation function decided it only wanted to work some of the time. which fine, i get it, youre a heater with a senstive stomach and get motion sickness. next, the thermostat decided 70 was as high as it was willing to go before turning off. i encouraged my new friend by setting the temperature higher to something like 80, but the heater did not fall for my tricks. the thermostat would say it was 72, and no higher. short of our goal of 80, for sure. however, my new friend was more deceiving still!! while the thermostat would read 72, it was obviously in the low 60s!! im sorry our friendship didnt work out. i just wish the heater could have been honest with me from the get-go so that way i wasnt so let down when the heater wasnt who they said they were.
