5.0 out of 5 stars Great heater - quiet and effective., May 22, 2009

This review is from: Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote Control (Kitchen)

This is a great heater! We use it to heat the living area of our RV. The living area is approximately 26' x 10' with normal height ceilings. We've tried a few different compact room heaters, but they were too small to heat the area and also way too noisy. We've had the heater about 4 months now. Since we are staying in cooler climates, we've used it almost every night (overnight).

The best features about this heater are:
- It's QUIET!!!
Really!! We have tried many heaters in our RV and house over the years and they tend to be so noisy. The model we tried before purchasing the Lasko was so noisy we had to crank the tv volume up to hear over it. This Lasko seems to be about as quiet as a fan could be.

- It has an automatic thermostat you can set.
This model has a high/low and auto setting. The high/low settings are not thermostat controlled. You simply choose hotter or less hot air. :) The auto setting allows you to set the thermostat to the temperature you desire. It seems reasonably "accurate". That is, the temperature it displays is within 3-4 degrees of the other thermometers I have around the room. Once you set the thermostat, the heater cycles on/off, just like you would expect. This is a great way to keep the room at your target temperature. We use this mode every night.

- It oscillates.
This sounds like a silly feature to list, but it makes a big difference in heating up a room. The previous heaters we've had did not oscillate. Therefore, the area directly in front of the heater was warmed, but the rest of the room was not. The oscillation really helps get the heat moved around the room so that you are not creating hot and cold spots. We always turn on the oscillation to heat the room. I am sold on that feature and would not buy another heater in the future unless it oscillated.

- It has a remote control.
The only thing that would make it better is if you could see the settings on the remote instead of having to look at the top of the heater. But, if they did that, the cost would go up. So, I'm happy with this remote given the price of the unit.

There are a couple of negatives about this heater:
- To me, it is annoying that it beeps for every setting you change. This may be a problem if you plan to use it in your bedroom and change settings while someone is asleep. The beeping is really apparent when you want to change the thermostat. When you unplug the heater, it resets itself to 75 degrees. So, if you then want to set it to 60 degrees, you are going to hear 15 LOUD beeps. Turn it on - beep. Choose oscillate - beep. Change to auto setting - beep. Decide to up the temperature by 3 degrees during the night - beep, beep, beep... and your partner is now awake! You get the idea. :) I assume Lasko designed the beep so that you would know you changed something while clicking the remote control. But, it's so loud they should either make it softer or give you an option to turn it off.

- There is no "fan only" setting.
It seems like most heaters I've purchased in the past have a fan only setting. I'm not sure why this one does not. Since you have the big unit sitting there in your room, it would be nice if it could be used to circulate air during the day when it's warmer, and then heat at night once the temps have dropped. Since we are using this heater in our RV, it's more noticeable to me since we need to have space for the both the heater and a fan. Oh well.

Overall, we love this heater and would buy it again.
I rate it at 4.5 stars.

(PS - we bought it at a local store, not via Amazon, so I can't comment on shipping).


UPDATE 1/18/2010: We've had this heater about 1 year now and it's still going strong. One thing I've noticed is that it will build up lint (Ummm... ok, cat & dog fur...). I wish there was a filter we could access and clean more directly. Oh well, other than that this heater is still doing great.

This review is from: Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote Control (Kitchen)

Length:: 2:39 Mins

I own two of these Lasko tower heaters--this review is for the newest one which has a remote control. In the accompanying video, you will see a detailed explanation of the buttons on the control panel and the indicator lights on the screen. In the video, I note that the only thing I really DISlike about this heater is that what passes for a carry handle on the back of this model is pathetic...I can't see how anyone could pick up the heater and carry it that way. In fact, when I tried, I dropped it. My other heater has an obvious carry handle on the top.

The remote control is fantastic for turning the unit on and off or changing the thermostat from bed, from across the room, etc. The remote contains all the controls that the actual heater has on its control panel. When the heater is oscillating, it can be a little tricky to get the remote to "talk" to the heater at first...you just have to wait for it to oscillate toward you to click the remote.

UPDATE: This heater died yesterday (Jan. 18, 2012). I have no clue what happened. I went to turn it earlier and nothing. Used the reset instructions which say to unplug and wait 5 minutes and turn it back on. Nothing. Tried it in 3 different outlets. Nothing. Bummer.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!, October 28, 2008

This review is from: Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote Control (Kitchen)

this heater is a life saver! my room mate and i are too cheap to have the heater on all the time. when we are home we have it on at a tolerable 65 degrees and turn it off when we leave the apartment. the heater is a great way to save on the bills and is eco-friendly. it heats up my room very well and pretty fast.

i decided to get lasko just because my boss has one in his office and i do like it. i also saw it at wal-mart and for only 45 dollars (w00t) and it's up for 75 bucks on the lasko website (double w00t) so it was a good deal!

the bad:
-the digital display is on top of the heater. it's inconvenient when i want to see the digital display screen from my bed
-no fan only option

the good!:
-quiet enough for me to fall asleep to (and i'm a light sleeper!)
-comes with a cute little remote controller with the same buttons as the heater and is very convenient if you don't want to get out of bed
-the heater beeps when you use the remote on it to show that it gets the command
-very cool feature: the auto option is great! let's say i have it set to 75 degrees. the heater will heat up to 77 degrees and temporarily shut off till the room cools down to 74 degrees. then the heater starts up again and the cycle keeps continuing till you or the timer shuts it off. i usually have this on when i'm sleeping and have no worries about being too hot.
-a timer that goes up to 8 hours
-high, low, or automatic setting
-can turn from side to side only on the high and auto setting
-compact
-has a handle in the back for easy carrying

i've had this heater only for a month, but i can tell it's going to last for a long while! because of it, i'm going to trust lasko!! i highly recommend this heater. as you can see, the good outweighs the bad!
