Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just got this tower heater today. Observations so far:
-I deducted a star because it's a bit wobbly on carpet and on ceramic tile. It's probably too heavy to tip easily, but it bears mentioning. It's quite tall. The space saving of a tower heater is perfect for my small motorhome, so I live with wobble. No idea how this could be corrected without creating unwanted bigger footprint or weight.
-I put it in a different place during the day, so the carry handle is convenient.
-It seems to be more powerful than my smaller Lasko tower heater, even though the watt settings are the same as the smaller heater. Maybe it's more efficient.
-The front definitely needs to be located a yard from any flammables, because the heat coming out is too hot to hold my hand two feet in front of it, even on low, for more than a few seconds.
-The remote is simple to use. The remote's buttons could be more differentiated for easier operation in the dark.
-The controls on the heater itself are cheesy looking, and the engraved silver-on-silver labels are difficult to read in shadow.
-I would like to have the thermostat work on the low setting. In both my Lasko towers the thermostat works only on high. Freeze or fry.
-The heat and blower can't be felt at the bottom foot or so. I can put it almost anywhere, and it won't bother the cat on the floor. The downside is that the lowest part of the room isn't heated.
-There's a clip on the back that holds the remote. It would be great for Lasko to include a second one of those cutom fitted clips to be able to attach to a wall to hang the remote near where it will actually be used.
I phoned Lasko to get some help comparing the various heaters, of which they list 19 in the tower design alone. Basically I was told I had to figure it out myself from whatever product descriptions they provided online. Fortunately Home Depot online makes an effort to help compare multiple products; although, it's limited to what they offer, of course. Both HD and Walmart carry this model, but neither had it in stock. Prices were the about the same, and I saved tax and shipping with my Prime membership by purchasing through Amazon.
