Review on 🔥 Lasko 5309 Digital Oscillating Tower Heater: Efficient Comfort with Electronic Controls by Lisa Golden

This vibratory heater from Lasko is a really good size. A few inches shorter than most tall towers, but also a few inches taller than many compact or mini towers, so a very good in-between size, you don't see much. medium sized rooms. Decent on a low setting (750W), very strong on a higher setting (1500W). A low setting benefits from the same fan performance as a high setting. In my opinion, the lower fan output means that the lower setting is not as efficient at heat dissipation as Honeywell's compact tower at the same output. This heater is very, very quiet when running, but I think that's a small sacrifice at lower settings. Personally, I would sacrifice a few decibels for a more powerful fan at these low settings. I don't really have anything negative about high settings other than what I'm about to say next. So I always run my heaters on low settings, not high. I've never found it necessary, both to prevent my circuit breaker from hitting any maximum and generally for the higher bill that entails. But I'm used to Honeywell heaters, not Lasko. But I've tried a few Laskos this week and am beginning to realize that high settings are great, low settings can be a bit undercooked due to fan performance, although they definitely improve room temperature. So how did I turn off the circuit breaker when the heater was running low? I've used a thermostat and here's the problem with it, and apparently a lot of heaters are being made now that weren't anything special before. They do not allow the thermostat to be used on a low setting for unknown reasons. This weasel (and almost all other weasels) only runs at full power when the thermostat is on. Generally, a tripped circuit can be considered user error in the circuit overload and I ran more than usual as several heaters were running while waiting for a new oven to be installed. The problem in this case is that I tested another heater the day before and it had a similar crappy high temperature only thermostat setting so I left the other heater running at high wattage and the same advertised wattage for much longer than it was on , and he never turned off the circuit, even though the exact same things were working in the house at the time. While tripping the circuit breaker was reason enough to return it, there's also a plug for a solution. I may have had bad luck with Laskos, but this heater and two others I've tried have hotter plugs than I'm comfortable with. Or what I'm used to. And this only after one hour of use of each heater. They are not hot enough to sting to the touch, but are very warm. Much, much warmer than when I use my Honeywell or Vornado heaters, which tend to barely feel warm after many hours of use. It looks like Lasko needs to be addressed across the board, whether it's a standard issue or an all too common bug. Just keep in mind the things I mentioned and make sure you don't have any of those fork issues. If you know you're good with your circuit and if you're okay with a high-temp only thermostat and generally run it on high to get the most out of the heater, then this is probably a good option.. . to you. If you're more like me and want something that works on low settings, I'd keep looking.
