 One of the best little heaters around October 14, 2009

Over the years, I've had all kinds of small heaters, both forced air and ceramic. This one takes the cake.
Like most other heaters of this price range, the thermostat doesn't work consistently all of the time, but it works as well or better than any other heater I've used.
What makes this heater great is that it really cranks out the heat! The low setting is great for a small room like a bathroom, and the high setting can bring up the temperature of my large living room in a very short time. I'm really impressed with its heating abilities.
It isn't silent, but it's as quiet as anything else out there. If I turn it on while watching TV, I might have to turn up the volume one or two clicks, but that's it. I doubt it would be prohibitive to sleeping, if you want it in your bedroom.
The oscillation isn't something I've used a whole lot, but eyeballing it, I'd say it rotates somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees.

I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't vouch for its long-term durability. But this heater is designed very nicely. It looks and feels of good quality materials. Other positives:
* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with
* elegant and practical handle
* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)
* small footprint but stable
I use the heater in a 10 x 10 room. I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10, even when it's been 10 F. outside. I usually keep it in low power mode. But I'm not very demanding that way so if you need a really strong fan blowing high heat or if you prefer the direct warm feeling of glowing radiant heat you might not be satisfied.
Shortly before getting this "Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Heater" I had tried and returned two unsatisfactory heaters. One was a poor quality $20 heater ("DeLonghi DFH132"). The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud.

We own a 26ft travel trailer. We bought this heater to supplement the gas furnace on the trailer. While camping in 40 degree temps at night this heater drastically reduced the amount of time the furnace kicked on during the night. Most of the time the heater itself on the low setting produced plenty of heat to maintain a comfortable temperature. The heater operates quietly. The heater does draw several amps on the high setting, so you do have to turn it off while running the microwave or hair dryer to keep from tripping the circuit breaker. Overall I have been pleased with the heaters performance. It was the perfect choice for our camper.
Great price for a small room heater/fan. December 7, 2009

I finally broke down and bought a space heater for my office, which I thought I would never do. I don't like how much power these little guys suck, but I could barely type emails as my fingers were turned to little icicles. I looked around online before i went to any stores to make sure i didn't buy a bad heater. I looked this heater up on [...] and Amazon.com. For my purposes, I think this little heater is perfect. I like the oscillating feature because I hate it when the heat is constantly on me, then I get too hot. The multiple heat settings are perfect as well because it gets deathly cold in the Dakotas and the higher temp setting may come in handy while the 1 settings is good for the average 0 - 10 degree day. The fact that I can shut the heat off but have the fan going is neat even though the fan really isn't the quietest fan ever. I have the fan on the edge of my desk and it seems to be going great so far! Highly recommended over other small space heaters I have seen, but watch the features as you may not need them in your situation.

This heater successfully heats up small areas without taking up a lot of space. It's sturdy, solid, and doesn't get hot on the outside. It sounds like a regular room fan on a high setting. It smells really "toxic" at first, but that goes away after a couple uses. It warms up my unheated front porch to about 68F even when it's -10F outside.
