Get Best Price & More info : Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control, 1 heater
I just recently purchased this heater to help heat whichever room I’m occupying as I have a poorly insulated apartment. This heater definitely does wonders. It heats up a pretty good sized room fairly quickly, and keeps it warm. It’s even good in drafts (although the instructions say that you should get rid of the drafts). I can put it by the door or the window and it will push warm air towards me, rather than cold.
I very much appreciate it.

very disappointed in the workmanship and quality of this product. i am still searching for a good realiable ceramic heater that works as advertised. additionally, the temperature sensor gauges were way off. good luck

I recently bought the Lasko 6350, which I guess is the newer model of this type. It looks very similar except the display on top. I got mine for 49 bucks at target.
Pros
1. It has a remote control
2. It oscillates
3. The low setting is nice and quiet
4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)
5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.
I must say this unit works very well and heats up my room fairly quickly. They replaced the blue display with a just a digital number readout in green against a black background. It can been seen in the dark as the numbers are quiet big and its not bright that it would keep you up (as in the previous post of the old model).
Cons
1. Loud in High/Auto mode. In the high mode, it is louder than my laptop. However, the low mode is very quiet and I hear more of my laptop fan than I do of the heater.
2. Low mode isnt temp adjustable, ie, it just kinda maintains a steady temperature. (72 degress on the display)
3. The temp indicator is off. It indicates a room temp of 74 when my home thermostat is showing 80. What this means is just that the temperature displayed is probably just 6 degrees lower than it probably is at. What this then means is that on low setting 72 is actually 78ish so its not so bad
What I end up doing is just turing the heater on high when I get home and then turn it to low once it hits my set temp. I is pretty good at keeping a steady heat. Even though the heater is kinda loud on high, I have yet to find a heater thats not that loud. My gf has a different heater by DeLongi and its just as loud. Hense, I dont thinks its so much a brand specific problem as it is a general product problem. IE, in order to disipate heat, you need a fan and fans are loud when blowing hard. Its unavoidable to move that much air without a fast and loud fan. If there was such a thing as a low noise fan, planes would be a lot quieter.
All in all, I gave it 4 stars just because the temp display is accurate but not precise (ie displays the a “consistantly” 6 degrees too low) which is an easy fix.
P.S. Please note, I dont know if my home heating unit is accurate either. Ive more than once thought it was off so it might be my home temp control displaying an incorrect temp

I just recently moved to San Francisco, in the winter time. In order to save from a high heating bill, i searched high and low for a cheap alternative. THis brand is it. I was using a solarus sun heater…and it got too hot! This model oscillates is at a great height, and has a remote control and timer. It’s everything you need to keep you warm at night.

I’ve been using this heater for almost a month now, and so far, it does a good job of keeping an average sized bedroom warm. I do, however, have a few cons when using this heater during the night.
Pros:
1. It has a remote control
2. It oscillates
3. The low setting is nice and quiet
4. It has a timer, so the unit will turn off after a certain number of hours (1-8 hours)
5. It has a thermostat setting, so it will try to keep the temperature you set it at by turning itself on if the current room temperature is 1 degree below the temp you want the room at, or turn off if the room is 3 degrees above the temp you want.
6. It has a good height. It’s not one of those heaters that direct the heat to your feet first.
Cons:
1. Pressing any of the buttons gives out a pretty loud beep (or two, or three). If someone else is sleeping in the same room, he/she will most likely wake up from this sound, especially if they’re a light sleeper.
2. Speaking of light sleeper (which I, personally, am), the high setting of this unit is a little loud to sleep through, but I’m able to sleep through the low setting.
3. Again, for those light sleepers, the thermostat setting (mentioned in Pro #5 above) has its drawback during the night. Because the unit is trying to figure out if it the room is colder than the temperature set by the user, it will turn itself on and off (sounds like a High setting, so it’ll be fairly loud) for this temperature check which lasts maybe 2 seconds. BUT, unfortunately, it keeps going through this temperature check about every 2 minutes or so. Not good for the light sleeper.
4. The blue LCD remains lit, so in a dark room, the LCD might be too bright for those used to sleeping completely in the dark. Just cover it up with a post-it note or something if it bothers you.
I would probably give this unit 4 stars if the beeping sound wasn’t so piercing loud and if I wasn’t such a light sleeper.
