Lasko 5586 Digital Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

A room with a free wall outlet and three feet of clear floor in front of the heater

A 29-inch ceramic tower rated 1500 watts on High with a Low setting, a digital display, oscillation, a 1-8 hour auto-off timer and a remote that stores on the back. Its thermostat mode only works on High, it needs three feet clear in front and one foot at the sides, and it must plug straight into a wall outlet.

  • Manual: 3-year limited warranty, original purchaser, RA and proof of purchase

Strengths

  • Thermostat mode on High: off 2 degrees over the setting, on 1 under
  • Three-year warranty in the manual, with Lasko paying return shipping after repair
  • Remote stores on the heater, and the timer runs from one to eight hours

Caveats

Lasko 5775 23-inch Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

A room within Lasko's 150 sq ft figure, near a free wall outlet

A fully assembled 23-inch ceramic tower rated 1500 watts on High with a Low setting, oscillation, a temperature button with a continuous MAX setting and a one-to-seven-hour auto-off timer. It has no remote, its thermostat only works on High, and it needs three feet clear in front and a wall outlet of its own.

Published specifications

  • Maker: model 5775, 120 V, 900-1500 W, 7.5-12.5 A, up to 150 sq ft
  • Manual: power button cycles High (1500 W), Low, Off
  • Manual: temperature function on High only; MAX runs continuously
  • Manual: timer 1-7 hours in 1, 2 and 4-hour steps; shuts off even on MAX
  • Manual: 3 ft (0.9 m) clear in front, 1 ft (0.3 m) sides and rear
  • Maker: 22.5 x 7.25 x 7.13 in, 6.08 lb; fully assembled; 3-year warranty

Strengths

  • Arrives fully assembled with no batteries or base to fit
  • Three-year limited warranty in both manual revisions
  • Simple one-button High, Low and Off cycle with a timer that shuts off even on MAX

Caveats

  • No remote, and the thermostat only works on High, so Low runs without any set temperature
  • Needs a wall outlet of its own; the newer manual says nothing else on the same circuit
  • Thermostat settings are unlabelled in the manual text, so you learn them from the panel
