Lasko Oscillating Digital Ceramic Tower Heater for Home with Adjustable Thermostat, Timer and Remote Control, 23 Inches, 1500W, Silver, 755320

I have to say that I purchased this for my 90-plus-year-old grandmother, who is ALWAYS cold! As her house at the time was over 60 years old, the heating system didn’t work very well to heat up the entire house. As she was, for the most part, confined to her bed, there was no register in her room nor was the register in the back of the house functioning, so she was absolutely not able to get any heat in her bedroom.So I decided to purchase this for her. The thing with my grandmother is, well, she’s frugal and hates having a lot of money “wasted” on her, and this philosophy makes her instantly hate whatever you buy her that costs money. And so it was with this. She didn’t like it, didn’t want anything to do with it. At first. But I installed it for her (and the installation process was so simple—take it out of the box and plug it in!) and put batteries in the remote and gave it to her. I walked her through how to use it (because I knew she would in the end) and then left her to it.And—lo and behold!—we came up on a day that was pretty cold, and she decided to try it out. Again, it doesn’t have to be too cold for my grandmother to be cold, but this day WAS cold, and she just couldn’t get warm no matter how many covers she used. So out came the remote and on went the heater.And she LOVED it!!!Honestly, once she (finally) tried it, she very RARELY turned it off!So, yes, it was a great buy, but (and here comes the reason behind my title’s “but”), when her heating bill came—wow! The bill was excessively high! Now, I’ll say this for the product: Most people probably wouldn’t need the unit on as often or for as long as my grandmother, so their bills probably wouldn’t be too high, but, for an elderly woman on a pension, well, the bill was just TOO high.So I had to be the bad guy (or, as I’m part Cherokee, I guess I was actually the manifestation of the term “Indian giver!”) and put the kibosh on using this product. There was just NO way she would be able to afford the high energy bills with this product. And, boy, was she upset! For the woman who went kicking and screaming to using the heater, she was WOUNDED that I had to take away the remote and unplug the unit.Bottom line to this rather sad review is: This is a great product. My always-cold grandmother adored it once she gave it a chance. (And she LOVED the remote! Especially since it meant she could stay bundled up under her covers and not have to move to turn on the machine.) I think she even actually commented on how she wasn’t feeling cold all the time when the machine was on. The only downside would be that it jacked up her bill too high to continue using.Anyway, I still have the unit…just in case. But I ended up buying her a 100%-wool blanket that was recommended to me as being REALLY warm. And she likes it, too.Still, I don’t really consider this as a waste of money, even though she’s not using it anymore. It did what it was supposed to do in keeping her warm, and I am grateful for that.Do I recommend this: Yes. Just be aware that your heating bill MAY go up. (I say “may” because, as I said, you may only need this for a few hours a day, which may not matter too much in the end, bill-wise. But if you use it as my grandma did—all day, every day—then I’m pretty certain you’ll notice a huge spike in your bill.)

UPDATE (January 2014):Temperatures dropped significantly around the end of November 2013, I pulled these out again and set them up. They do work wonderfully, when used together. I believe that the biggest issue with warming my apartment (without assistance from my furnace) is the windows because they're drafty and I do not have curtains up, just blinds. So, with drafty windows and living in a ground level apartment (the window sills are level to the ground), it requires both heaters being set up and ran together--though expensive in electricity, it's still cheaper than my gas furnace. They keep the living room at a decent 70*F and when moved to the bedroom, 70-74*F.ORIGINAL REVIEW (March 2013):I just received the two I ordered today. I plugged one in to see how well it heated our apartment, which is 760 square feet. I was very surprised that I had our central heat set to 70*F and the one heater brought the temperature up to 72-74*F (This was with the bedroom/bathroom doors shut, so approximately 720sqft). I had to leave for a short while so I set the central heat to 60*F and set up both heaters. When I came back the temperature was still ~74*F with both heaters going. The plugs in the outlets did not get hot, did not overheat and did not melt anything, as other posters had reviewed. I had to call my apartment maintenance to fix one outlet which was loose due to a crack which was NOT caused by either heater, but had been there since we moved in last week--other than that, the heaters are working fabulously. I was very surprised that neither heater has the usual ceramic heating smell that the smaller ceramic heaters I have bought, have had. In fact, neither heater smells, at all. The remotes are pretty nifty, but I don't think I will get much use out of them, I'm too lazy to go buy AAA batteries! There is a beep, but to me it is not loud enough to wake a person, I mean unless you're consistently pushing buttons for 5 minutes straight.I really like that these ceramic heaters warmed up our apartment so well, in such a short time! The difference between these heaters and the electric-radiator heaters I bought from Target on clearance is so vast, it's not even funny! I had bought two of those radiator heaters, closed all the doors, set them up and ran them on full blast all night. What was the end result come morning? Cold. Thankfully, I was able to return those heaters and after getting home, I immediately purchased these ceramic heaters. I could not be happier, to be quite honest.(Although, this review is based solely on my experience with these heaters since receiving them about 12 hours ago! I'll update after sufficient use, though.)I wanted to add that it really concerns me that a few reviewers (and probably even readers of these reviews) plug space heaters into extension cords and/or surge protectors. #1. It is very dangerous, as it is an electrical fire hazard, to plug a space heater into either (or both) an extension cord or surge protector. The reason they make the cords short, even for small kitchen appliances like toasters, is to prevent electrical fires and the entanglement of the cords around a person's neck--especially a child's neck.

These heaters are excellent. I own 2 and I’m buying a 3rd. I bought them on Amazon over a year ago and use them daily in the winter (Nov-March). We live in Vermont and primarily heat with wood and wood pellets. There are a few areas that the wood heat has a hard time reaching in our house so I bought these to supplement. We use one in our bedroom and one in our toddler’s room. They heat up quickly, warm larger rooms well, and the thermostat, timer, etc work as advertised. I saw a review that complained about the unit reaching 77 when set to 73. The manual clearly states that the thermostat allows the temp to rise 4 degrees above the set temp before shutting off. It then kicks back on when it reads 1 degree below set temp. This gives the unit time to cool down while the room temp gradually (or not so gradually in an old house like ours) drops back to the set temp. Otherwise this thing would just keep running and be turning on and off way more frequently if there’s only a 2 degree temp range. This isn’t your home furnace…it’s a small space heater with a reasonably accurate and reliable thermostat. Also keep in mind it sits down low so the temp it reads may differs slightly from the temp read by a thermometer higher up in the room. I have accurate analog thermometers in every room to monitor heat distribution and can say these units are consistent and register the same temp drops and elevations that my room thermometers do. They’re usually reading a few degrees cooler than my thermometers which I expect since they’re low and on a cold floor. As far as safety goes, we’ve had zero issues with overheating or any issues I’ve seen in other reviews. With a mix of newer and older wiring we’ve had no issues whatsoever. We have these running all night nearly every night from November to March and during extra cold days we move them around if we’re home and cold. When running they are warm but not dangerously hot to the touch. Even the front grill can be touched without burning when operating on high output after a running a while. My toddler does not mess with it but has accidentally knocked it over and picked it back up safely by himself while it’s running. Likewise my dog likes to lay near it and has run into it without injuring himself. These heaters have not led to a major energy cost increase. In summary, I highly recommend these. Like I said, was back on this page over a year later to buy another one because they’re that good. I’ve used a number of alternatives and none has matched the heat output, energy cost, or safety these have provided so until I have an issue I’ll stick with them. I will update this review if anything changes.

I bought the Lasko Oscillating Digital Ceramic Tower Heater (755320) in used like new condition for a really good price, and it honestly arrived looking and working like brand new. I am very satisfied with this purchase.It heats the room quickly and efficiently, and the oscillating feature is a must have. It does an excellent job of evenly distributing warm air across the room instead of blowing heat in just one direction. The thermostat, timer, and remote control are also very convenient and easy to use.The only small downside is the handle. It is not very ergonomic and my hand does not fit perfectly, so I try not to move it around too much. That said, this is a minor issue and not a deal breaker at all.I would definitely buy this heater again and recommend it. I also want to note that although a video I recorded made it sound noisy, in real use it is actually quite quiet. Somehow my phone exaggerated the noise. Overall, a great heater and a great value.

I bought one of these last year to put in my bedroom because I live on a three-floor townhome and the termostat is on the second floor. My bedroom is very large and the little heater did a great job warming it up. So I decided to get a couple more heaters, one for the guest bedroom and one for my basement office. They did such a great job and made my energy bill so much lower that I brought the guest room heater to the living room and turned off the central heat.This year, I went to a store and saw them at a lower price, so I went ahead and bought another one to put back in the guest bedroom. They are really great because not only do they have remote controls, but they also have an auto setting, so you can program the temperature you want and just leave it on. Programming is as easy as pushing a button to set it higher or another one to set it lower, and the heater thermostat makes sure the room stays at about the temperature you set. This product is so good that two of my friends went ahead and bought some for their houses after they came over and I told them about how happy I am with them!Here are my thoughts on this product:PROS- light and easy to carry around if you want to move it from one room to another- durable, the ones I bought a year ago work as great as they did when I bought them- convenient and easy to use remote control- easy to use digital control on the unit- automatic temperature setting- heats up the space quickly, even larger rooms- does not use much electricity- nice design, easy on the eyes- cheap and small enough that you can get one for each room of your place- for multi-floored homes, if working with central heaters it will help level the heat throughout the placeCONS- after thinking a lot, I realized that the only con is that you have to be careful where you store the remote control during the summer. I had put the ones that are in rooms where there are drawers in the drawers, but can't remember where I put the remote for the unit in my living room. So, if you purchase this during the cold months, come up with a system for storing the remotes at a place you will remember by the time it gets cold again next year.UPDATE: When the temperature gets really low outside (teens through low 20th's) I do turn on my central heater to help with the larger area of my place (living and dining rooms that are open together). So, if you live in a colder region and have larger areas with big windows or sliding doors, one of these heaters may not be enough to keep such areas toasty. Although, if it is a larger area that has heavy curtains helping insulate it, etc, then it may be all you need (ie: my bedroom is 15 x 12 and this little heater handles all that is needed to keep the room warm, and the finished part of my basement that has only a window--not a large glass sliding door like the living room-- can also be kept really nice and warm with just one of these heaters running in it).Enjoy your warm home!

This product is a HAZARD. I don't understand how Amazon can still sell it with a 4 star rating when the one-star ratings are so severe, which has to be taken into account. Amazon, please discontinue your association with this dangerous product. Sure there are a lot of people who aren't having a problem with it but those of us who are have been in danger of having our houses burnt down. That's a BIG deal.Two nights ago I woke up to a hideous noise and a powerful electrical stench. I took a video of it. The machine was overheating and making this awful sound. It's supposed to have automatic overheat protection and a heat shutoff device, but obviously the electronics were fried and it was not turning off. If I hadn't been there it would have burned the house down. As it was, it took two days to get the electrical burning smell out of the house and I'm just lucky it didn't burn my house down and me in my bed.This isn't even the first fire hazard with the product. After I bought it, it seemed to work OK for a while though the heat would sometimes crank way up, which at first I thought was due to user error (pushing the wrong button on the remote at night or something). One day the battery-operated remote MELTED overnight without warning. It burned so badly that the plastic keys were deformed and rough to the touch and the whole thing caved in and distorted slightly. Smelt awful too, which was my only warning. I decided I didn't need a remote to operate it but it should have been a clue that their engineering parameters were shoddy.To boot, around that same time I confirmed that it was impossible to consistently regulate the temperature, and that it wasn't user error. The thermostat only operates at the high heat setting. It's awful design — never have I seen a product so prettily designed on the exterior and so carelessly built. Here's how it works (I've included a pic of the section of the manual that I stared at each night to make sure I was doing it correctly.) To set the room to a particular temperature you're supposed to go to the High Heat setting, press the + or - button till you reach the desired temp, and the display will show an A in a circle and the desired temperature will flash for a moment before resuming the display of the ambient temperature. It's a bit complicated and not at ALL intuitive so at first I kept thinking it was user error or that their manual documentation had missed a step. Alas no. Sometimes you set it correctly and it cranks the heat up, usually capping around 88 degrees even though I had it set at 73. Really unpleasant, and it's not just me as I've now confirmed by asking questions and reading other comments in this thread, which I should have done first.

The item arrived late and with an American plug, rendering it useless without an adaptor. This, coupled with all the reports here of fire danger makes me reluctant to have this thing plugged in for any lengthy spell, much less with an extra hazzard of an adapter.Whether it heats a room or not, I cannot say; but I'm not willing to take the risk – it's being returned.

This Lasko heater works great. Have had it for 2 yrs, zero problems, and it can get as hot as you want. Great product. Lasko is known for being bulletproof and great quality.

Produto de boa qualidade, porém tive que devolver porque a voltagem não correspondia à minha região. VOLTAGEM DEVERIA CONSTAR BEM VISÍVEL NA TELA PRINCIPAL.

Me gustó mucho este calentador, es silencioso, de buen tamaño, adicional a indicar los grados de temperatura que deseo me permite elegir la potencia (alta o baja) mis mascotas ni siquiera se acercan a él y me gusta mucho que si lo programo para una temperatura específica si la respeta y mientras está la habitación caliente el calentador se queda en standby. Lo uso para calentar una habitación de aproximadamente 20 m2 y funciona excelente.

Excellent quality for the money. Works very well. Shuts off when room is at desired, set temperature. Oscillates for better heat distribution. Quiet operation. Bought two for my 1150 sq ft home and it is very efficient at heating my space. In fact, so far I've only needed to use one heater to keep my place comfortable. Very pleased with this purchase. Would highly recommend this item.
