The Lasko 751320 Ceramic Tower Heater

The Lasko 751320 Ceramic Tower Heater is a compact oscillating ceramic heater with a built-in fan and remote control. Owners say this model is very quiet and does a great job heating small rooms, but opinions are divided on whether it's effective in larger areas. Overall, this heater receives more positive feedback from users posting reviews to retailer websites than most. Most of the complaints we read for this model centered on the power cord, which owners say is thin and becomes warm when the heater is in use. Some owners also point out that the thermostat can be adjusted only in five-degree increments. We also read a few reports of early breakdowns and dead-on-arrival units, but most other heaters receive more complaints of this nature. If you want to spend less, the budget Lasko 754200 Ceramic Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (*Est. $30) receives good owner reviews but is noisier.

The Lasko Tower 751320 isn't included in professional tests, but it does receive quite a few reviews from owners posting comments to retailer websites like Amazon.com, Sears.com, Newegg.com and Buy.com. In all, we found more than 100 user comments for this space heater.
