Same 1500 Watts product guide
Lasko 751320 23-inch Ceramic Tower Space Heater
A bedroom or office corner with a free wall outlet and three feet clear in front
A 23-inch ceramic tower with two heat settings, oscillation, a remote and a one-to-seven hour timer. Lasko's own specifications put the two settings at 900 and 1500 watts, 120 volts. The manual asks for three feet of clearance in front and one foot at the sides and rear, bans extension cords and power strips outright, and describes overheat protection but no tip-over cut-off.

Fit and limits
Strengths
- Both heat levels are published by the maker in watts and amps, so the draw is predictable
- Three-year limited warranty, longer than most heaters in this class
- Remote, oscillation and a 1-to-7 hour timer, with an exact-model manual from Lasko
Caveats
- Neither Lasko nor the manual claims tip-over protection, only overheat protection
- The thermostat is disabled on the low setting, so low heat runs uncontrolled
- The manual bans extension cords, power strips and surge protectors, so it must reach a wall outlet
A plain two-setting ceramic tower with a remote
The 751320 is a 23-inch ceramic tower heater. Amazon's details table and Lasko's own page agree on the model and part number 751320, and the manual supplied with the listing is printed for that same model, so the identity is not in doubt. The box holds the heater, the remote and the user manual; the remote needs two AAA batteries that Lasko says are not included.
Lasko's specification block gives an energy output range of 900 to 1500 watts and a current range of 7.5 to 12.5 amps at 120 volts, which is how the two heat settings work out: high is the 1500-watt setting named in the manual, and low is the 900-watt one. Amazon's table gives 1500 watts, 12.5 amps and 110 volts; the 110 is the odd figure out, since both the manual and Lasko's page say 120.
The manual is explicit that this is supplemental heat for residential use only, and that it is not intended for commercial, industrial or agricultural settings. It also states that the heater does not meet National Electric Code Article 547-7 for agricultural buildings or Article 500 for hazardous locations.
The thermostat only works on the high setting
This is the detail most listings leave out. The manual says the automatic temperature function will only operate on high heat, and that you cannot set a temperature while the unit is in low heat mode. If you want the quieter, cheaper 900-watt setting, you are running it manually with no thermostat cycling behind it.
The thermostat itself is not a numbered dial. You press a temperature button through a row of settings, the light under the chosen setting blinks until the room reaches it, and the heater then cycles off and on. One of the positions is MAX, and on MAX the heater runs continuously rather than cycling. Amazon's table gives a 60 to 85 degree Fahrenheit range for the thermostat; neither Lasko's page nor the manual we read prints those numbers, so treat that range as listing data until you can read the panel yourself.
The timer is separate and runs from one to seven hours. Pressing the timer button steps through combinations of one, two and four hours, and holding it lands on seven. The heater switches itself off when the time is up, including when the temperature button is on MAX. Note that Lasko's own feature list still records 'No Auto Shut Off' for this model, which refers to the absence of a standing cut-off, not to the timer.
Three feet in front, one foot at the sides and rear
The manual gives two different clearances, and both matter. Combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains must be kept at least three feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater, and at least one foot (0.3 m) from the sides and rear. That is a smaller side allowance than some heaters ask for, but the three-foot front zone is the one that decides whether it fits beside a bed or a sofa.
The heater must stand on a stable, flat, level surface. It is not intended for wet or damp locations, and the manual names bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations as places it is not intended for. Never place it where it could fall into a bathtub or other water container, and do not use it outdoors, in wet atmospheres, or where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
Lasko's page gives the body as 22.5 inches high, 8.38 deep and 7.25 wide at 5.67 pounds. Amazon's table gives 8.3 by 7.25 by 22.5 inches but lists the weight as 2.5 pounds, which does not match the maker; use Lasko's 5.67 pounds. One more practical warning from the manual: the plastic or rubber feet can stick to furniture and hardwood floors and may leave a residue that darkens or stains the finish.
Wall outlet only, and that rule is unusually broad here
The manual's first safety instruction is in capitals: always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet or receptacle, never use an extension cord, and do not plug the heater into any other cord-connected device. It then names them: a power strip, a surge protector, a multiple outlet adapter, a cord reel or an outlet-type air freshener. Plug the unit directly into a 120-volt wall outlet only.
It adds a separate warning not to use the heater with any solid state speed control device, and asks you to check before each use that the plug fits tightly and is not overheating during use, because a loose plug in a worn receptacle is a fire risk that gets worse if a curtain covers it. Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover it with throw rugs or runners.
There are two more instructions people rarely expect. The manual says to make certain the room has a working smoke detector, and it says never to leave children unattended when the heater is on or plugged in, and to turn it off and unplug it before leaving the area.
Overheat protection is stated; tip-over protection is not
The manual's safety feature section describes one protection: a built-in thermal overload protector that shuts the heater off automatically if an overheat temperature is reached. It does not restart by itself. You unplug it, wait ten minutes for it to cool, then plug it back into a 120-volt outlet and start it again.
Neither Lasko's product page nor the manual we read claims tip-over protection for this model. Lasko's safety list for the 751320 names only ETL listing, overheat protection and cool-touch housing. If you specifically want a heater that cuts out when knocked over, this is not the one to assume it from.
The manual's troubleshooting steps for an unexpected shutdown are to check the outlet, check the temperature setting in case the room simply reached it, and clean the heater if it runs for a few minutes and shuts off repeatedly. Lasko points anything beyond that to its own customer service line rather than to a repair yourself.
Vacuuming every two weeks, and a three-year warranty with conditions
Upkeep is a vacuum job. The manual says to unplug before moving, servicing or cleaning, to vacuum the intake grills every two weeks with a brush attachment, and to loosen anything the vacuum misses with a toothbrush or other soft-bristle brush. Wipe the body with a soft cloth only. Never take the heater apart, never place it in or near water, and never use alcohol or solvents such as gasoline, benzene or paint thinner on it. Store it in its original carton in a cool, dry place.
Both Lasko's page and the manual give a three-year limited warranty. The manual's terms are narrower than the headline: it runs three years from the date of original purchase or until the original purchaser sells or transfers the product, whichever comes first, and it covers the original purchaser only. Lasko repairs or replaces at its own option, proof of purchase is required, and the warranty is void for accident, improper handling, shipping damage, abuse, unauthorized repair or commercial and non-residential use. You pay to ship a unit to Lasko; Lasko pays the return leg. It is valid in the USA, its territories and Canada only.
Two published numbers deserve a flag. Lasko's page claims a maximum coverage area of 150 square feet with no stated room conditions, and Amazon's table repeats '150' with no unit at all; the manual makes no room-size claim. Lasko's own specification block also prints a high-speed noise figure of 0 dBa, which is plainly a placeholder, so there is no usable published noise number for this heater. The listing calls the colour Silver in the title but Grey/Black in the table, while Lasko records Black and Silver, so check the photo of the offer you pick.
