We purchased a Lasko tower fan in the summer and were very pleased with the performance and value. This made the choice to pursue Lasko for a tower heater more obvious. We use the heater for our 4 month old daughter's room. We keep our house thermostat at 68 degrees but wanted her room to be a little warmer. So far the heater has worked very well. The room is small (10x11), but the heater warms the room quickly. I love the thermostat option on the heater as well as the timer. We've only had the heater for a couple weeks, but we've had no issues with it. It is smaller than what you'd imagine form the picture (much smaller than our tower fan), but it can easily sit on the floor or on a table top. We would have no problem recommending this product.
