Quick reliable heater

This is 2nd purchase of this heater. I like that as soon as you turn it on, you feel the hot air. Using it in a small bathroom during the cold snaps really helps. The handle although small, makes it easier to transport.

Unnecessarily high tower

It does what it is supposed to, but again any other cheaper heater would do the same thing. I've two smaller electric tower heaters, their hot air outlet/opening is around 16cm. I bought this heater because it's higher then both, hoping it's air outlet would be larger. I was wrong, it's exactly the same size, I don't know why they made the body considerably larger for no apparent reason. One other design problem I found annoying is that it's very difficult to lift it up with one hand, it keeps slipping. I can pick my other heaters with a good grip without any issues.

This thing is amazing

I have a room that's farthest away from the heating unit in my house that I spend a lot of time in and it's normally a bit cooler than the rest of the house. This little heater takes care of that and warms the entire room up within minutes. The remote is very handy and works very well. Very pleased with this purchase so far.

Works well, can't complain.

I love how the product works well and meets my expectations. The remote is also helpful and works fine. However, you HAVE to point the remote to the censor for it to be able to recognize the command. The product does make noise when you use it- might be a bother to some, but it doesn't really bother me. It is also light that you can lift it easily to move it around. It would be helpful if the instructions had the definition of each button/command, but once I explored the other buttons, I think it works perfectly to heat a room at a certain amount of time.

Perfect size, heats up the room quickly!

I am very happy with my new Lasko heater. It is a perfect size, heats up the room quickly, and looks sleek. The only thing that I don't really get is how it randomly stops circulating. I mean I'll click on the option but won't start circulating/rotating until I turn it off completely and do it again. It really isn't a big problem at all because it works great but just curious.

good heating option

The tower has the ability to increase the temperature of a room about 4 degrees Fahrenheit in an hour with continued use. While it is not as efficient as as a good central air system, it can help with cold pockets in the house. Have not used this product in one spot for more than two hours. Can vouch for it up to that time, but unsure about prolonged use.

Not recommended

There's a constant smell of burnt plastic, whether it's turned off or on and I even smelled this as soon as I took the heater out of the box. It comes in a non descript, plain box with no print or brand name on it. The heat is okay, but the cord is a bit short. It does what I need for it to do, which is heat the room, and it get at least a 4 stars, if not for the horrendous smell coming off of the unit 24/7.

NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED

THE HANDLE THEY HAVE TO PICK THIS UNIT UP IS TERRIBLE. THERE IS NO GRIP TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING OUT OF YOUR HAND. I HAVE DROPPED IT MANY TIMES . TERRIBLE DESIGN. I HAVE RUN THE HEATER FOR MANY DAYS NOW AND THE SMELL WILL CHOKE YOU. VERY BAD ODER. OTHER THAN THAT IT PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT.

Great Space Heater meets all my requirements.

I would highly recommend this space heater to anyone. It works as advertised and exceeded my expectations for which it is be used to heat up to 300sq. ft area. I love the energy saving feature and and the ease in using the remote. Beat the $150 + heaters advertised in the paper. My Dad bought an EDENPURE and paid 3 times the money. The remote dosent' work and it makes an annoying whistling noise.
