This personal space heater from Lasko is described by over 500 five-star reviewers as a “great little heater.” And although it’s slightly less expensive than the Amazon Basics heater above, it does have some limitations, as one reviewer points out: “This is meant to be by your side or aimed at your hands/feet. Dozens of other reviewers describe this space heater as “quiet” and “safe” since the sides “never heat up so much that you can’t touch it,” as one customer, who uses this device in his small apartment, explains. It is pretty quiet and that was important to me,” they add, noting that the sound doesn’t disturb their sleep. One customer even points out that for those with pets this feature is especially useful, because, “if the dog tips it over it will also shut off. “At this price point it’s ok if I just flip the switch when I get too warm,” says another reviewer, who adds that she likes how the heater automatically turns off when it’s not standing upright (like when she kicked it over accidentally). “For the size and price this thing puts out some serious heat,” says one reviewer, who appreciates that the space heater is small since it ensures that she doesn’t blow a fuse. This miniature space heater doesn’t have an adjustable temperature, just an on-and-off switch, but hundreds say that it’s still very effective. Wish I could take my more expensive one back.”
A reviewer who bought this for their camping trailer after buying an expensive oscillating one says, “This little Lasko is FAR better for my needs! VERY compact, but puts out a LOT of heat. You are forgoing some bells and whistles, like oscillation or a digital thermostat, but it’s still worth it. Its an awesome feature something you wouldn’t expect at this price point,” one reviewer points out. “Once your room reaches a certain temp the heat will cease until there is a drop, in which it will automatically turn back on. When this guy does ever bite the dust I’ll buy again.” Others are impressed by how quickly it heats rooms and note that the dial thermostat helps maintain a steady temperature. One reviewer has had theirs for over two and a half years, and they write, “This little devil is the best purchase you can make.
Over 22,000 reviewers give this Lasko space heater five stars, and many love how many winters it’s lasted through.
