Comment:
I bought this one to replace the higher rated Lasko. Unlike the Lasko, it doesn't have a tip over safety shut off switch but it doesn't matter because the unit is close to the floor. Although it doesn't oscillate like the Lasko, it heats the room so much better that it doesn't matter. I keep this one and the Lasko in similarly sized side by side rooms with the door between the 2 rooms open to allow the Ambia to help the Lasko heat the other room. The only shortcoming is a thermostat to shut the unit off when the room get sufficiently hot, which it does quickly.
