My living room has 9 foot high ceilings and this electric heater does a good job of keeping the room warm.

Easy to use, logical controls. Heats a medium sized room well. Takes up little floor space. Ceramic heating element is efficient.

The only negative is that it's fairly noisy on the high setting. Overall, I'd say this is a good heater.

Lasko makes well made products but they always fall short in engineering. This product blows luke warm air on either low or high. The thermastat does not work well at all. The blower dosen't stay on long enough after the thermastat is satisfied for heat and causes a heat buid up around the capillary bulb and the heater cycles on and off at the wrong tempature. Don't waste your money get a heat dish, doesn't look that great but does a much better job.

I recently purchased this for my office at work. It is a cooler setting, yet the heater keeps my work area fairly warm. When it runs, it is barely audible and in no way disruptive, even on the high setting. I brought it home one night and my wife loved it; now I have to get another one for home. The timer is a nice feature which I use all the time. I have not used the thermostat yet, so I don't know how well that works. All-in-all this is a very good product.

I have had all of them, mini heaters, baseboard heaters, oil heaters, radiant heaters, vortex heaters, footpad heaters and this tower heater is by far is the best. Lasko makes many different tower models, but the Lasko Tower Heater model 755660[...]. Don't make the mistake of getting any type of heater other than a tower heater and make sure it has a fan and that it osciallates. Don't be fooled by the $500 heater scams out there. They Don't save you money. They save you money on your gas bill because they use electricity.Just a cleverly worded marketing scam. But they don't save you more money than this one overall. Yes, they do have lots of references from people that have never bothered to investigate or check their heating bills before and after with other units. This unit puts the heat where you want it at sitting height. Make sure you get an osciallating unit. Again, it spreads the heat around so you don't get hot spots and cold spots. Make sure you buy a unit that has a fan and a 2 speed fan like the Lasko has is nice. Lasko has a nice handle built in at the top for easy moving. It takes a good knock without falling over. It is nice looking. It has a multifunction remote which is also very convenient. Or you can use the controls on the top of the unit. Nice looking digital display for temperature and functions. Unit is very quiet. I love this unit and I am going to buy a second one and sell my other heaters. I use this unit mostly while sitting at my desk downstairs in the basement or watching tv. Why heat the whole basement all winter, when I can fire this up and be warm in seconds? [...]Great Job Lasko! YOu can find these just about anywhere. The Lasko 5588 is also a great unit and very similar.

I bought this product to keep the room warm and it does a good job in doing so. It gives flexibility to select desired temperature for your room

Happy with the product ..

I use this an under the desk heater for my office. It heats satisfactorily in this application, but I have two concerns:

First, the device is tall with a small footprint. It is relatively easy to tip over. Unfortunately, unlike other heaters, it lacks a tip-activated off switch. If it falls over, it will continue to run, face-down on the carpet. I worry about fires.

Second, the push button controls are not so straightforward to use. A couple of times, I thought that I turned it off and came back the next day to find that I had accidentally left it running overnight.

For these reasons, I will be seeking a replacement.

I recently bought this heater at a local store, and am surprised to see some of the negative reviews here. We use it in a bedroom that is above a garage, and has a window that is not very well insulated, so it is a difficult room to keep warm when the weather gets cold.

When I say "cold" weather, I mean below freezing. Not Southern California (Anything below 60F 'cold') The weather outside is below 0F, so that was the primary reason we got it. To help offset the colder sub-zero air leaking into the room. Not sure we would need to run it when temps get above 20F or 30F. If you live in LA, you don't need a space heater.

This heater does a nice job keeping that room (approx 140 sq ft) warm. Haven't tried it in larger rooms, but wouldn't hesitate to do so based on it's performance so far.

It does not beep at all. Ever. Not sure what the reviewer was referring to about the beeping driving his dog crazy.

The air coming out of the unit is HOT on both the Low and High settings. Almost too hot to touch. Not luke-warm. The LOW setting simply runs the fan at a lower, quieter speed.

Even at the HIGH speed, it is not noisy enough to disturb sleep, so suffice it to say, that is definitely quiet enough. The LOW setting is barely audible.

The fan oscillates, so it does more than just warm up the space directly in front of it.

The thermostat works well. Will shut off when temp gets 2 degrees over the set temp, and will turn back on when temp gets 2 degrees below set temp.

It comes with a remote control, but haven't seen a need to use it. I suppose that could really be convenient if it gets too warm in the middle of the night you wouldn't need to get out of bed to adjust the temp, fan speed, or any other function.

Not sure what else to say, except if your particular unit isn't working right, send it back, because this is actually a really good space heater. Especially for the $50 price tag.

Lasko ceramic heaters work well and provide sufficient heat. The only problem I have with them is the smell. Upon turning the unit on the smell was so bad I had to remove it outside. It smelled up the whole house. This smell
will eventually go away when the ceramic heat tubes finally burn off all the oils and the new wares off. Running
it outside for 24 hours really did not help as far as heating the house. Probably would not buy another.

The Lasko tower heater is very good...keeps me warm.
The remote control and the high power and low power settings are useful.
Was able to reduce the home temperatures to 3 degrees below the regular setting in the evenings

Lasko heaters are quality products. I have purchased 5 within the last year and a half, three for my home and two for relatives. I love their products to include three fans for summer use. Although the early tower version, approximately 3 years, was built with more weight and appears to be built to last longer. I have to wait to see. Lasko keep up the great production and this guy shall continue to support you. Thanks.
