Great Electric Heater
The Lasco 5812 is a very good heater especially since it has stronger fan forced air than any other I have tried & still not loud, even stronger air flow than one costing over $90. It sends the air along the floor rather than out of the top. Moving warm air can be felt for at least 5 feet from the heater. I measured it. One serious drawback is that the thermostat even though it controls the heating of the air from a lower level of 750 watts to a high of 1500 watts, it will not cut the heater off when the thermostat setting is reached. It will only lower it to the 750 watt maintenance level. This is not a problem if the heater is located where you can turn it off yourself when the room is warm enough or the temp is too cold for it to need to shut off. Where I find a problem is in my office which is unattended for hours at a time and over night or I am away on a trip. I like to keep my computer, etc. at least 60 degrees when I am not around. Since the outside temp varies from night to...
Not perfect.
The build quality is great, but it is louder than most heaters and the thermostat will never shut off the heating element even at the lowest setting. The noise isn't outrageous, but it's definitely on the loud side compared to other forced-air heaters I've used. As for the thermostat, this probably wouldn't be a problem on a very cold night or in a large room. In my small room on a mildly chilly night, however, the heater remains on even when the dial is on the lowest setting. I was roasting. Too bad. The build quality seems really solid, and it comes with a three-year warrantee.
Great Heater
Great Little heater, good Build Quality, unit won't shut off when at set temp . It's just a simple good little heater. It has a thermostat control, power switch, auto shut off if tipped, and forces are from the top and hot air forced to the bottom so you can place the heater against the wall if needed
