Customer Reviews

Nice heater, check the features to see if it's for you
This could be a very good heater option for some people, if the features fit what you need.

It takes up relatively little floor space, and the pedestal design puts the heater up a little higher, if that suits your needs. (A regular tower heater might be fine for lots of people, though.)

It's 30 tall" and the base is a 12" circle. The top part is about 7.5" wide at the top (the widest part).

Pros:
- High 1500W (5118 BTU) and low 900W (3070 BTU) settings. And two fan speeds to go with that - the fans runs more slowly and quieter on low - which is a feature that's missing on many heaters for some inexplicable reason.
- Quiet for a heater with a fan, especially on the low setting. (But that can't be used with the auto thermostat setting, see below!)
- Well built, and well packed.
- The light weight and convenient handle, at the top of the back, make it easy to carry and move around.
- The controls are well placed, easy to read, and make sense - they do the things you'd think they should.
- The LCD shows the room temperature and the thermostat setting, exactly - no guessing on a dial with marks around it! Both seem very accurate - it matches a digital thermometer I have in the room.

Cons:
- The biggest one by far for me - the auto setting (to maintain the temperature you set) only uses high heat. Low auto isn't an option.
- No automatic shutoff if it tips over. Maybe the overheat protection would take care of it, and it doesn't really get that hot - but I'd think they'd want to have that in a heater with this design.
- The base looks a little big - 12" across - but I suppose it has to be to make the pedestal work.

There's no auto low setting - which was the main reason I wanted this heater, to have something quiet that could maintain the temperature in a bedroom at night. That would also mean it would switch on and off fewer times, and draw less peak electric current. Big oversight on the manufacturer's part.

Though otherwise, it's about as quiet as fan heater could be, I imagine. If you need something quieter, look at something like the DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator - very quiet, but the heat circulates only by convection (hot air rising), which might not work for all situations.

This heater requires some assembly of the pedestal and base. Just tightening some screws, really, but it's a little cumbersome since the top piece can't rest anywhere given the shape. Just plan on it taking ten minutes or so.

The manufacturers website, laskoproducts.com, has more info and you can download the owners' manuals in pdf form.

There are multiple model number versions of this heater - 5355, 5365, and 5350 - and as far as I can tell they vary only in the colors and what stores sell them. You can read lots more comments on a similar version of this heater at the HomeDepot website.

Does what it is suposed to - and quietly too.
I've owned this product for nearly a year and was compelled to write this review when I picked up a second space heater (Bionaire tower) with similar features but which was rediculously loud. I use this heater in my son's room and on my RV to supliment the furnaces and it does a great job heating. Surface area of the blower is quite large and the heat nicely distributed accross it which keeps the blower noise down and the grill relitavely cool. Marked it down from 5 stars due to the thermometer running a degree or two too high (yes I am picky)

Keeps the room nice and warm....
I love this heater.

It really does a good job keeping the bedroom warm. Sometimes I'll wake up and it'll be too hot that I have to turn it off... did I tell you that it comes with a remote control????

It's a great thing to have by the night table especially when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't feel like getting out of bed to shut it off.

I also love the fact that you can adjust the temperature to what you want and also how many hours you want it on for.

It's a excellent heater to have It's especially great for those of you who have Landlords that are too cheap to give you heat.
