This little heater puts out a lot of heat! Way more than my older taller model. I gave 4 stars because: 1...attaching the two part stand was a real pain. A very poor and unnecessary design. 2...one major complaint I have is the controls are at the very bottom of the heater. Very inconvenient. They almost force you to use the remote. I don't need one more remote on my side table. 3...another complaint is that the handle to pick it up is located halfway way down the heater, not near the top which would be a more logical and helpful place. I use this heater in my enclosed patio and it works great for that. It is plugged into an outdoor outlet and surge protector.

If you are looking for a heater that does everything listed perfectly, then move on. If you want a decent heater at a decent price, this may be for you. I got this to help a poorly heated upstairs bedroom. On a cold winter's night, it will only heat up into the 50's upstairs even with the furnace on. This will heat the room up very nicely and keep it warm throughout the night. In that regard, it warms the room up pretty fast and is very useful. If you have it on the auto setting, it shuts off automatically once it reaches a degree or two above the temperature that you set and turns back on when it goes a degree or two below. When it's above the set temperature for a while, it will kick on for a few seconds every so often. I'm not sure why it does this except to update the temperature from the airflow. The heater oscillates, which is very handy, and has a remote that has all of the same buttons that the unit has. That being said, it is not without some annoying flaws. I have a travel alarm clock with a temperature gauge upstairs as well. The temperature on this heater is off anywhere from 3 to 10 degrees higher than what my clock says. However, there are times that I have a box fan on for background noise while sleeping. That may increase the fluctuation of the temperature reading as I have noticed that the temperature reading on the heater goes up once I turn the fan on even though the room is not warmer. It may take some adjusting to get your "just right" temperature. Even then, you may find yourself a little "too hot" or "too cold" at times. This is not a deal breaker for me. Even though that is very annoying, it does work to a point. I haven't owned a heater with a perfect thermostat yet, so I'm not sure if they exist or not. The previous heater I owned was even worse. If there are better heaters out there and you're willing to pay more money, then you can pass this one up. But, if you're looking for a decent heater at a good price, this may be the one for you. Most other heaters I've seen at this price are smaller, weaker, and do not oscillate. The ones that are similar to this are usually much more expensive.

The basic heating capability is defeated as the thermostat always shows at least 10F higher than actual room temperature and the heater doesn't even turn on all night. I started to set it at 80 or 82F to maintain a temperature of 70F. Sometimes the thermostat probably adjusts itself and over heats the room. Its very annoying. I returned the item and bought another one of same kind. The new one has the exact same issue.

I purchased this space heater along with the Member's Mark 23 inch Infrared Tower heater and tested them both side-by-side. Test results: 1. The Lasko puts out significantly more heat than the Member's Mark. 2. The Lasko's “Widespread Oscillation” performs much better than the Member's Mark's “Oscillating Louvers”. 3. The Lasko costs $59.98. The Member's Mark costs $98.89.

I bought this Lasko tower heater today, and yes, I am a real SAM's club customer. I had my eye on this heater for about 2 months. I Didn't initially purchase it, and ended up buying a different heater from a different grocery store chain, which I took back the next day. I finally decided to come get this Lasko tower heater from Sam's club and give it a try. First, I was happy this tower fan was $11 bucks cheaper than the fan I just took back which was littler, more expensive, and did not work as good. I got my tower heater home, pulled it out the box, and was slightly disappointed that I had to put the base on with screws. Every heater I have ever bought, you pull it straight out the box & plug it in immediately for use. Luckily it wasn't hard to screw the base on. Second, I was disappointed that the remote did not come with batteries. Like seriously? I found that to be quite odd and cheap of Lasko, but lucky for me I keep a big box of batteries. I like having a remote, but to be honest, I could honestly do without having another remote on my dresser. I bought this heater for my bedroom and I must say I was quite impressed. Turned it on and within less than 30 mins my entire bedroom felt like a sauna. I ended up cutting the heater off because I got too warm. But that is the purpose in a heater. This heater works great for me, but whether or not it would heat a much larger living space or a large basement is beyond me. I would recommend this heater to others, but again that's if you're heating a small space like a bedroom or an office, or a bathroom.

This heater works great. It puts out a lot of heat. I monitor the room temp by a very accurate device. This heater is dead on point with the temperature control. It pushes the heat out great. The only issue I have and to me is a big issue. It doesn't have a safety shut off. I've laid it flat on the ground and it will not shut off automatically. That worries me. It runs very quietly.

I am very disappointed with this fan. It does not warm even a small corner. I have 4 other Lasko heaters (2 are half the size) and all work better than this unit. I also have several Lasko tower fans. I have come to depend upon the Lasko name but will return this unit.

Gives out good heat and will keep a 10x10 room warm. It is worth the money.

its the best heating system I have in my room.Love it .Keeps me very warm.

Very nice heater, and looks great
