Cool Design and gadgets Lastest news*: So I have just bought a Lasko 755320 from Fred Meyer

This is a rewrite of an old review. I initially gave it four stars and went on a bit over that I felt the cord should be heavier and would likely be the thing that ends up putting this thing out on the sidewalk. Well, I've owned and used this heater for five years now and can absolutely confirm no problems.

Further, we rent the entire floor of a townhouse in Queens, New York City and this heater has been great particularly for changes of season when the landlord typically doesn't turn on the heat. It makes a big difference in our comfort when our home would normally be cold and uncomfortable without it.

It heats a rather large space very well and you don't have to be sitting right in front of it get toasty warm as the fan is strong enough to blow hot air quite a distance. It is also not too noisy--no motor noise from the fan or buzzing from the heat element, just the sound of air moving.

It can oscillate, but we never bother using that feature. Just put it in a corner or a doorway and turn it on.

I don't know what the difference is between ceramic heat versus that of a steam radiator or kerosene, but I can say from experience that the heat from this unit is very comfortable--not too intense with one focused hot spot and the rest just warm, and you don't have to be practically sitting on it either.

Bottom Line: Five years on, I've certainly gotten far more than my money's worth out of this excellent little heater.I've had this heater for 2 to 4 years but have been frustrated by the on-board controls that only let you choose 70 or 75 degrees. I doubt the remote would let you choose something in between, but I never wanted to use the remote so I really don't know. Also, at the tail end of this last winter, the on-board controls didn't seem to work quite right anymore. However, it was quiet, heated effectively, and had a very small footprint.

So I have just bought a Lasko 755320 from Fred Meyer on sale (10/4/09) for $45 and the cashier found a coupon for me that took another $5 off. I just plugged it in and now I can choose any degree I want! Yea!! Even if I find the digital thermometer a bit inaccurate I'm confident I'll be able to compensate. If it's too hot, I'll just set the temp lower until I find what feels right to me. Vice versa for being too cold. I've read complaints about the beeping it makes when you change settings, but I live by myself so there's no danger of waking up a partner.
