"nothing not to like" 2007-12-02

I got one of these last year because i wanted a strong heater in a small package, small footprint, to use in my bathroom, because the built in heater stopped working. It's perfect for heating a small room like that. Then i got another one for my bedroom, it's quiet, strong, and small, it fit into a small space near the bed. Then, i got a third one for the living room. The living room is a large room, and i use the heater like a small fire place, it really pumps out the heat. It's not going to heat the whole living room, but sitting next to it feels like sitting next to a small fire for warmth, very pleasant, not too hot when close to it, just a nice strong warmth. In the living room, the central heating doesn't do that well heating the lower part of the room on a cold night, the heat rises and it can be set on a high temperature and still be cold where we sit, so we use these heaters to warm up our space, nice source of heat, very portable, lightweight, sturdy. No complaints, it's perfect for what i use it for.
"Great For a Small Room" 2007-11-25
By Constant Reader (Fresno, CA)
This is a handy little heater that serves its intended purpose well - heating a small room. I use it to take the chill off my computer room which is not usually heated like the rest of the house since I'm not in there all that often. The unit itself is plastic with a metal grille, but it feels very sturdy and well made. The fan noise level is acceptable. It is far from silent, but is quiet enough that it doesn't interfere. The controls are straight-forward. One dial is the power dial which has 4 settings: Off - Fan - Low - High. The other dial is the thermostat with an infinite range of settings between - and +. (I've found that just below the halfway point is very comfortable, but then again, the winters in California aren't exactly subarctic)
I'd recommend this for anyone with a small area to heat. a bedroom, computer room, sewing room, etc. (mine's in a room about 12 foot square). I doubt it would efficiently heat a room that was too much larger.

Have had this heater for nearly four years and it has sustained 3 moves with me. Still works great and heats bedroom effectively.
"Excellent item" 2008-10-03
By Tom (Martha's Vineyard, MA)
Very pleased with this item. I once borrowed a much more expensive heater, and it was no
better than this Lasko. In fact, the expensive one was much less practical because it was not easy to move around. A reviewer mentioned that the Lasko does not have a turn off switch, but that is not really correct; when it is in the standby mode, it is off. It also should be noted that the build quality of the item is excellent. Advice to prospective buyers: don't let the low price fool you.
"An Excellent Personal Heater" 2008-01-17
By Arjun Subramanian (Seattle)
This heater is small efficient and gets the job done. It even has a thermostat that switches off the heat when the desired temperature is reached. Its perfect for a bedroom or other small spaces. Why heat a house when you want just a warm room ? :)
The only downside to this heater is that it is slightly loud. Its not a pain or major annoyance, but you can certainly hear the buzz of the fan. All said and done, this is a great product. I would recommend to anyone.
