This heater is great! Y'all, oscillates, heats very well, and is amazingly quiet! Small footprint and takes only a minit to attach the base onto heater. Bought 1 last year and regretted not buying more. Just received 2 that I ordered off samsclub.com this week, and went back today for more, only to find they're sold out online.

Bought this heater for my husband. He's working from home and our office space is in the basement. It heats up half our basement, roughly 400 square feet. Because heat rises, it helps warm our upstairs. I wouldn't say it heats the upstairs but warms the room above it. I love and would recommend this heater to anyone looking to warm up/heat a room or an open concept space.

Lasko truly failed when they manufactured this heater. I have purchased several heaters for myself and for gifting as well as fans. This heater fails all tests except for the looks. Its fan is of very poor quality. I wonder if it was tested through quality control. It must be returned to the sender. I ended up with two. So sad!

Update to my previous review, which seems to have disappeared. This heater blew my breaker box twice. It sizzled and popped in my plug and turned it black, so I returned it to Sams and asked them to remove it from the shelves before someone was hurt or a house burned down. Little did I know, my house was burning, inside the walls from this heater. The day after I returned this heater,

I recently bought 2 of these a few weeks apart, making a total of 5 Lasko tower heaters purchased over the past 15 years, I think all from Sam's Club. The small footprint is great, the oscillation heats a room quickly, and the tall-tower design SHOULD allow for convenient operation from the top-mounted control panel. Unfortunately, these latest 2 have the control panel located down low. This means you'll have to stoop to operate the unit in case you'd prefer that to fetching the remote, or if the remote ever dies (as have my 2 oldest ones). Worse, the temperature sensor picks up floor-level temp, confirmed by my infrared thermometer. So even after the heater brings the space up to a toasty 71 degrees at sitting or standing height, the thermostat may still think it's only 66. The result is that the heater never cuts off, as-if it didn't have a thermostat at all. Adjusting the set point way down doesn't really help; it's just a bad design. The advertised product is the 'Lasko 32" Ultra Digital Tower Heater Model CT32950', and that's what was in the store when I bought the first one in November 2017. It's still being advertised today, but when I went back to get the second one in December it had been replaced by the CT32960. I was hoping the flaws of the CT32950 had been corrected, but the CT32960 is basically the same unit. The controls are oriented vertically on the right edge instead of horizontally, but they're still down low on the unit (see pic). The temperature sensor is still way off. You won't find the CT32950 or CT32960 either one on Lasko's web site, but they do feature a similar CT30710 that puts the control panel back up top where it belongs (you just can't get that one at Sam's). On the up-side, the heaters look good and are extremely quiet, apparently due to a new, larger squirrel-cage fan design. This fan seems to distribute the heat better throughout large rooms compared to the earlier models. We have one of our older Lasko tower heaters in a large master bathroom suite and one of the new ones in the garage. Both heat the spaces well. The CT32950 and CT32960 are both a good buy, despite the faulty controls.

Really wanted to like this fan—it has a slim profile and it's quiet. I like that it has a remote and the battery cover even has a screw to keep kids out. The problem: if you bought it to help heat a space it won't do that. You have to be sitting literally directly a foot or two in front of it to feel any warmth. We've had it going for hours at a time on the highest setting with no change in temperature of a small room. Additionally, it blows the air up instead of directly out so sitting on a couch it's not much help. It's going back.

Received this heater on Thursday evening. Opened it yesterday and plugged it in yesterday. Smelled a little like the first time you turn on the heat in your house for the winter. This evening, there was a a sound like something dropped and our dogs jumped and looked around. A few minutes later there was another popping sound and my husband saw smoke coming from the plug. He pulled the plug from the wall and the plug outlet was black and obviously burned. If this had happened while we were in the other room or even asleep, I can only imagine the devastation that would have occurred. This product will go back tomorrow! This is not our first ceramic heater, but we will not purchase this brand again!

I bought this yesterday to try out in my bedroom and living room (depending on which room I'm in). I understand a space heater will not work as efficiently in a larger room (like my living room) but it is beside me right now and can feel hardly ANY heat being put off. I used it in my bedroom last night and it never felt like my room was the temperature it stated on the thermostat and had to keep cranking it up, but again, not a lot of heat was put off. Taking it back to Sam's tomorrow morning.

Are we reviewing the same product? Model CT32960? Can't be! I gave it one star for its chic design, but that's not why I brought it. I brought it to supplement the central heat in my home. 99% of the reviews on this site say that this is an awesome unit. While 99% of the reviews on another site are more aligned with my experience - the heat extends approx. 9 inches from the unit, that's standing right in front of it. I'm sitting less than 3 feet from the unit and can't feel anything! Needless to say, it doesn't even began to change the room temperature, not even one degree. There is no way that the reviews on this site were written by true bona fide customers! No way! I am returning it!

Really nice
