Thank you for sharing this video, I appreciate it. Living in a much older brick Rancher, my son loaned me his. ( no box - no manual - no receipt - no warranty) You educated me in such a quick, easy to understand fashion.. great job It had a hot cold issue, called the Lasko help line. Explained I had no paperwork, long story short. My replacement will be here in -10 days, at no cost. The tech did ask, that if I found anything
The last Lasko Heater I had lasted 15 yrs or more. I didnt think it would ever stop working! As a matter of fact...it still works except it goes into oscillating sometimes and stops on its own pointed in the wrong direction than where I need it to be......Yes that one was well worth the money! I bought another one but its still new so I cant give a accurate review on it yet. BUT I loved the OTHER ONE! I think it was the first Lasko I ever bought.
I purchased this exact model in December 2017 to help save costs on my heating bill for the winter. As the cost of Propane is nearly $3.00 a gallon I had heard that this heater was a really good model and heated a larger space than it appeared to be able to handle. I did pay the $50.00 and at first, the heater worked great. I could heat my entire living room, dining room, hallway and Kitchen with just this one heater. It seemed like I was going to be able to save a good deal of money this winter... but less than a month and a half the heater has stopped working. It has the red light on but when I try to turn it on all it does is beep. I can't get it to turn on at all. I'm really disappointed as I cannot afford to buy another heater and feel as though I've wasted $50.00 on a peice of junk.
Hey again. I actually went with a DeLonghi heater. They were both similar in price, but the DeLonghi offers both an "on" timer and "off" timer, whereas the Lasko only offers one timer feature. I'm not sure if I'll use both timers, but for a similar price, I thought why not lol.
Worked great for many years. However, the internal ceramic grid is barely putting out heat these days! You have to put your hand on the top 1/3 portion of the screen to feel any warmth. The mid to lower portion is blowing cold air. Yes, i did vacuum out the unit.
Thanks! I couldn't find the directions that came in the box and the online manual wouldn't allow me to enlarge enough to be able to read it. So your video here is perfect. p.s. I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $40 BEFORE coupon savings. No complaints on the price or the machine.
I ordered one of these on Amazon got it today the reason I ordered one on Amazon is because walmart hasnt had any space heaters that i like for several months, I still have a space heater but I wanted another one my old one is a good heater I have had it for a little over 6 years now I hope this new one lasts like this old one I dont like it when things break.
I have a Utilitech vortex digital heater I bought from Lowe's. It does alright I guess. The low on mine is 600 watts, not 750 watts like the Honeywell. My complaint is that the thermostat is in 5⁰ increments. I set it for 75⁰ for the temperature to be about right. On low, it never cuts off over 70⁰. And if you cut it off, it defaults back to 95⁰ and you have to readjust it. But the plus is, this unit becomes a full fledge fan in summer.
In the video at around 2:33 it was displaying 71 F right after you turn the timer back to 0hours. That's the thermostat displaying that the room had reach 71F, but at 2:54 you said "..so for instance i have this is set to 71 right now..." while pointing to the display...that's wrong! You had it set to 70F earlier in the video at 1:43 and left it. The 71 F displaying is the current temperature in the room. My question is why didn't it turn off at 70F like you said it would when the thermostat detected 70F because obviously it thinks it's 71 F now?
Ok, I know what's going on here. When you set the temperature for auto mode. Let's say for 70F. Like he said this only works in the High setting and not the Low setting. The heater will try to keep the room temperature at around 70F. Fact is the heater will NOT turn off until it detected 2 degrees above the setting. That means it will be running until it displays 72F. Then, it will stop! That includes oscillation if you had it enabled. When does it turn back on? It will turn back "ON" 1 degree below your settings, which will be 69F. Oscillation will also turn back on. Got this info from watching a Lasko video. Fyi, the auto mode setting will clear itself when the High/Low button is pressed or if the heater is turned off. You will have to reconfigure the auto temperature setting. Btw, it's a good heater and I loved it's features. Thanks for the video!
Hey Thank you!! I have been trying to figure out some of the setting on my heater.. have the same.. dont use it much .. and was wondering about the ( vampire voltage..) * I usely do only keep it on an hour too.. and your soooo right * you must keep the doors closed but overall its GREAT!* I hate how my cords outlet gets warm after a while.. but overall its a great product.. how far or where do you keep it when you leave yours on? near you or in a corner?*
Hey, I am considering buying this heater. I was wondering if I could ask you two questions: Is the thermostat accurate? Meaning, if you program it to 71 degrees, will the room be off by a couple of degrees? I've read that a lot of space heaters will let you set a temperature, but they sometimes vary by 5 or more degrees. Also, being that it's a ceramic heater, have you noticed your room becoming more dry? I believe heaters like these are known to lower the humidity of the room they're in. Thanku
Oil-filled radiators will not dry rooms if that's a concern. I use one upstairs. The basement has a low ceiling, so the one in the video is better for that.
🔆Thank you, very intelligent and informative way of explaining this heater. I set mine on low and for an hour. My main concern is deciding a good temperature to set it at. Any suggestions on a comfortable teamperature. Also, the heater when just on low will sometimes shut off before the hour is up. Do you have any idea as to why? Is the heater becoming too hot? 🤔.
I believe I have a more recent model of this heater. Question though. Are you certain that this space heaters runs only on the 1500W rating in auto/thermostat mode? Have you used a watt meter to verify this? It always bug me that most space heaters don't tell you what the wattage draw rating is at the low setting, only disclosing the high setting (almost always at 1500W). This information is important for some of us who's circuit cannot handle that great of a load. I'm surprised disclosure of this information is not mandated. Between the three of us running space heaters in our home (we don't have central air heat), sometimes we trip the circuit breaker, which is extremely annoying. I just ordered a watt meter, and will be testing the wattage draw on all of our space heaters. I suspect that two of our space heaters draws the full 1500W on thermostat mode, like you said. With that being said, I really don't like how most ceramic space heaters on the market today don't give you the option of running on thermostat mode at the power setting of your choice (namely the lower setting). I have ONE small and inexpensive ceramic heater that allows this though. It has two knobs. One has the option for OFF -- FAN ONLY -- LOW HEAT -- HIGH HEAT. The other knob simply adjusts the threshold of when the unit would cut off when ambient temperature around the unit reaches above a certain degrees, or power on when it falls below. www.target.com/p/holmes-oscillating-ceramic-tower-heater-black/-/A-11009947?lnk=Rec|pdp|viewed_bought|pdph1
I have a older mod had 5 years still kicking walmart has 5538 mod 4488 online not in some store they have a black one dont have power savings mode and digital temperature display may be a Limon i just ordered the mod 5538 for$4813
I'll tell you how. Push the fan mode button and it will give you a regular breeze. Also, not to mention, I have a heating system in my apartment, but sometimes when we turn it on, it would make the smoke detectors go "BEEP BEEP BEEP!" That's probably because the heater hasn't been running for a long time.
phototristan My lasko heater turns off in less than a minute. I then have to unplug it for 5 10 mins and again turn it on. Can u help me with this plz. model no. 5132
I think the burning smell you're thinking of applies to forced-fan heaters... space heaters that pass air thru heated coils. Ceramic heaters generally don't emit any smells.
Just the opposite! Ceramic heaters, especially the Lasso tower with remote that we have smells so bad I can't stand to have it in the same room with me. Ugh.
Thank you for your vedio. I am looking for a small bedroom, and I read a lot of reviews on Amazon, there are good reviews but also bad ones, so I am hesitating. My bedroom is only 86 squar foot. SO do you think it is a waste to buy such a big one? What do you think of Lasko 754200? AND what do you think about Lasko 751320? It is very similar to the 755320, I don't know which one is better?
I'm not sure how accurate it is as I haven't really tested that. Perhaps someone else reading knows the answer and could chime in. I haven't notice the room getting too dry, although I live right on the bay so it's typically fairly humid here, rather than dry already.
In the video at around 2:33 it was displaying 71 F right after you turn the timer back to 0hours. That's the thermostat displaying that the room had reach 71F, but at 2:54 you said "..for i have this is set to 71 right now" while pointing to the display...that's wrong! You had it set to 70F earlier in the video at 1:43 and left it. The 71 F displaying is the current temperature in the room. My question is why didn't it turn off at 70F like you said it would?
I know use this heater: Reviewed- DeLonghi HMP1500 Mica Panel Space Heater I like it slightly better since it doesn't dry out the air as much however the Lasko Ceramic heater does work well.
phototristan In your review of the DeLonghi HMP 1500 heater, you mentioned that the Lasko heater woke you up at night when it kicks in and starts the fan. Is that the Lasko heater in this video or is it a different Lasko heater?
I haven't had any issue with it so far. I am very careful about how I use it. I unplug it when I am not using it or when I am stepping away for a few hours.
I'm not sure where you would find a heater that blows heat out like that. You just might want to turn on the heater in a room 20-30 mins before you know you are going to settle down there.

Just received mine after watching this vid and buying one, seems sweet so far, for under $50, it's awesome. Looks good too. Thanks.

Less than a month? Warranty! Been using mine several years now...flawless!
I bought this heater from a second hand store and it works great.. Didn't pay but 22 dollars for it..
Got a smaller model and it rocks. Best $30 I've spent on a heater for sure...
Is there a fan-only button? (without heat)

Hello, how can you switch and set up to Fan mode ?
I have this space heater and highly recommend it. Great review.

Did you end up getting it? I've been using mine lately and am still liking it. It seems to work quite well, especially for the price paid.
phototristan I still own and use mine
How do. I clean a filter if there is no way to remove it
Have a 5530, and it is the best 1500 watt I have ever had. Very similar to the one above.
Lasko has several ceramic tower space heaters. This one is Model #: 755320.

I have a tower heater , and i misplace the instruction how do i set the tempture?
I am excited, going to put mine in my greenhouse. Greenhouse is 6 x 8 x 6. Should do the job.

It's definitely on my wish list for the winter. Awesome review. Thanks.
How is the electric bill after using this heater? Is it alright or does it make your bill hella high.
1500 Watt Rating equals about 15 to 20 Cents per Hour
Normal usage shouldn't be more than $20 a month, if that.
Some reason my temperature keeps going down. The colder it is the lower the temperature..I set at 80 and won't go pass 65.
I believe I have a more recent model of this heater. Question though. Are you certain that this space heaters runs only on the 1500W rating in auto/thermostat mode?

how far do you keep it from you?
Yep, glad it helped.
thanks for the review,.. Can you control the fan speed,.? is there any high low fans speed control buttons,.?
How do I get the fan to stay on??
I'll tell you how. Push the fan mode button and it will give you a regular breeze.

how much square feet does it heat ?
wow, exactly what I need. Could you tell me the model# so that I don't get the wrong product? Txs very much.
Very well explained! Awesome video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks
Where can I buy one ?
Does it have the burning smell like all the electric heater? Im thinking about getting it on amazon.
No smell at all except maybe the first time you run it.
Sounds good ! I had couple of the electric heater, and I couldn't use it because the smell give me headache.

I am not familiar with those models, sorry.
You are saying it will only supplement central heating, at the same time you are saying that it can be used as a substitute
thank you so much for your detailed information! It really helped a lot!
Glad it helps!
Mines making loud sounds.... Is it broken?
Probably, if it sounds abnormally loud.
PTC heaters will never overheat
I'm not sure how accurate it is as I haven't really tested that. Perhaps someone else reading knows the answer and could chime in.

What is the lowest heat digital setting number this unit can be set up at ?
Mine went down to as far as 39F only!
Do you still have this heater? And does it still work as we'll as it did when you 1st got it?
I know use this heater: Reviewed- DeLonghi HMP1500 Mica Panel Space Heater I like it slightly better since it doesn't dry out the air as much however the Lasko Ceramic heater does work well.

great info, thank you
i love mine have had it for 3years now works great i also bought nine at a second hand store for 6.00 love it
i have one its great thanks for the info
thanks for the good review
I set mine and it automatically goes back to 64 why does it do that
Automatic mode turning on
Did you figure out how to silent the beeping sound?
I bought one and it blows cold air. I don’t know how to change that
Sounds like it's defective. I would exchange it.
I don't really know how to use this once
I haven't had any issue with it so far. I am very careful about how I use it. I unplug it when I am not using it or when I am stepping away for a few hours.
How come it doesnt blow hard, im freezing my ass off. In the high and low setting i cant tell the difference
I'm not sure where you would find a heater that blows heat out like that. You just might want to turn on the heater in a room 20-30 mins before you know you are going to settle down there.

Thanks !
thanks,, great video...
Can it start a fire??
No you should be fine. The housing of the heater never gets hot itself, so operating it on carpet or near drapes isn't an extreme hazard.
You have a 3 year warranty, and you can buy two year repair/ replacement insurance with Home Depot
Ty
hey psy i have a heater fan like that
Sprinkles!
You can’t see the buttons that yiu press not a useful!
This thing takes forever to cut back on!
