Fortunately it was the only thing plugged into that outlet at the time, so the damage was to my wall and outlet only in addition to the heater cord. The heater was on low at the time and I had been using it for about an hour. The plug fit snugly into the outlet originally and afterward it was fused to my outlet and I had to yank it out so hard that it pulled the plate off the wall.

You can even adjust the timer, without leaving bed. The Lasko is one of the highest performing space heaters for personal heating that we’ve reviewed. On its highest setting, it’s even a little too intense when placed under a desk. When we tested the Lasko in a living room setting, it was easy to feel the airflow while sitting down several feet away.

The score is a combination of maximum temperature at the hottest portion of the outlet, the size of the hot area, and the hot area’s accessibility.

This portable unit heats up quickly and even has an 8-hour timer for keeping the room warm while you sleep. The handy remote also lets you adjust the temperature without getting out of bed. I have had no problems with them and I don’t understand why so many 1 stars. Either you’re plugging it into a breaker that can’t handle more than 30 watts. If you have 3 heaters well that is just stupid if you run them at the same time.

The only main drawback we could find is that it is a bit inefficient and expensive to run, but that’s to be expected with this powerful heater. Even considering operation cost, the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower is well worth its price and is a good value, especially if you want a powerful heater. Quickly warm any room with the 32” Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control from Lasko. This heater features an extended heat zone with 1500 watts of comforting warmth.

The remote included with the heater is one of our favorites. It fits well in your hand, it’s stylish, and it’s fairly obvious what the symbols are trying to convey. But sometimes it is nice to know something about the company itself, and this knowledge can – especially in this case – make an already good decision even better, and make you feel even better about making it.
