Comment:
I've got another model Lasko ceramic heater that has been very good, and I bought this one, based on reviews, including Consumer Reports review... I moved my original Lasko to another room, and put this one in its place. Within 40 days it overheated and melted the plug-end, as well as the receptacle!<br /><br />I contacted Lasko customer service, who sent me a lengthy email claiming I have an electrical problem in my home. I threw this heater in the trash, and put the original Lasko heater back in the same place, on the same outlet (on the other, remaining, good receptacle.) Guess what? NO PROBLEM.<br /><br />Lasko company does not do good business, in my opinion. <br /><br />You will find this same review posted on Consumer Reports.org, and as many other places as I can. This will be how I can recoup my lost money... poor word of mouth! Thank you Lasko!

Comment:
This tower ceramic heater has a built-in washable air filter at the air intake. It can rotate 360 degrees. Every part of it remains cool enough to touch, and it is attractive and very quiet, and it displays the current room temperature. It is fully featured with a full featured remote, and can be set to maintain a specific temperature. It can also be used a fan.
