Awesome Product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Patricia L. Rhodes
I love Lasko heaters, my hubby had a 29" pedestal heater that lasted roughly 5 years before acting up, so once it decided to die on us I searched and found this one on Amazon.

We had looked in the store and actually bought a Delonghi because he didn't want to have to wait until we could get this one in the mail, but it sucked! It didn't show the current room temperature like the Lasko, only the set temperature so you couldn't tell what the actual room temperature was. It kept turning on and off as if it was trying to maintain that exact temperature instead of turning on 1 degree below the set temperature, then back off at 2 degrees above like this Lasko. And the plastic at the base was grinding and popping when I tried to use it in oscillation mode, which was really annoying.

So it went back and I ordered this one, and am I ever glad we did, I love it! It arrived slightly damaged, but that could have been a manufacturing error as the box was in p erfect condition, one of the side panels was pushed in making it look funny, but I carefully fixed that problem even though it didn't affect it's operation any, just couldn't stand looking at it the way it looked. Now it looks and works perfect, we couldn't be happier! And I love the added feature they've started using, it turns on low every 10 minutes for about 10 seconds to circulate the air and recheck the air temperature, instead of relying on the stagnant air temperature which can give a false reading like the old Lasko pedestal heater we had. Don't get me wrong, I loved that one too, but this one is even better! I highly recommend this heater to anyone who's looking for a way to help save on electricity and just warm the room you're in.

Good, but not for light sleepers -- beeps when you change settings
By kyravon
I actaully have the model 5586 which looks exactly like this but the buttons are different. Bought for about the same price $65-67 at a harddware store.

It's great for a small (10ftx10ft) unheated room, but doesn't do much for a large converted attic room with no heating & almost no insulation (which is fine, the product clearly says it is intendend as SUPPLEMENTAL heat, not as your only source).

I like the remote control & that I can have it stationary blowing directly on me or moving to circulate the air. I also like that I can set it to click on when tempature drops below a certain temperature. I like that it shows me the temperature. Those features were (to me) worth spending a little more than the cheaper heaters. I've had it for 3 months and it has made a big difference for cold No. CA nights/early mornings (though our electric bill did go pretty high so I'm not sure we saved $ by running the gas/central heating less).

I find it q uiet enough to sleep through, but my boyfriend claims that even on the low setting the noise of the air venting bothers him. But he's gotten used to it & can usually sleep through it now.

Other reviews of Lasko heaters had complained their cords got too hot. My cord gets warm, but not hot. I am not concerned by this.

In my opinion, the only flaw is that EVERY TIME you turn it on/off or adjust ANY setting (even to go up or down a few degrees), a fairly loud beep is emitted.
I called their customer service # and there is no way to turn this off.
This means I can not make any adjustment at night or even turn it on for a little while while my boyfriend is sleeping. This is a serious drawback to me, I'd give this product 5 stars if it wasn't for this.

Think twice if you are a light sleeper and using for bedroom
By DeSi
The fan is not loud, but I wouldn't say it is quiet either. The annoying thing is that there is no option to leave the fan on continuously, so it cycles on and off with the heater. The problem with this is that you don't have a constant white noise to aid sleeping, but something that could make sleeping not so restful--or worse yet--wake you up. Also using the remote to change any settings creates a loud beep that your sleeping partner might not be so happy about.

I did notice that a smallish room heated up very fast. I'm guessing the large size helps with that.

The remote is sorta cheap, but does the job--with a lot of beeps.

I would say it is a good value at the price I paid: $49.
