 Great Electric Heater Feb 12, 2009
By Dan P. Hudson
The Lasco 5812 is a very good heater especially since it has stronger fan forced air than any other I have tried & still not loud, even stronger air flow than one costing over $90. It sends the air along the floor rather than out of the top. Moving warm air can be felt for at least 5 feet from the heater. I measured it. One serious drawback is that the thermostat even though it controls the heating of the air from a lower level of 750 watts to a high of 1500 watts, it will not cut the heater off when the thermostat setting is reached. It will only lower it to the 750 watt maintenance level. This is not a problem if the heater is located where you can turn it off yourself when the room is warm enough or the temp is too cold for it to need to shut off. Where I find a problem is in my office which is unattended for hours at a time and over night or I am away on a trip. I like to keep my computer, etc. at least 60 degrees when I am not around. Since the outside temp varies from night to day which affects the inside temp, this heater will stay on even when warm enough although it will lower to the low wattage. This means that my office could get a lot hotter than desired during the day when unattended. Because of this, I use the more expensive $90+ heater in my office even though it seems not to put out as much warm air and certainly not as strong an air flow as the Lasco 5812. The Lasco works as designed very nicely, but uses electricity even when not necessary. To be just about perfect, all it needs is a thermostat that will turn it off rather than just provide controlled high and low heat. It is great when you will be around to shut it off yourself if the temp over reaches your desired amount like in your den while watching TV. I like mine regardless. Besides, the company does not want you to leave the heater unattended for safety sake anyway...Dan

 Not perfect. Sep 26, 2007
By Frank Sinatra
The build quality is great, but it is louder than most heaters and the thermostat will never shut off the heating element even at the lowest setting. The noise isn't outrageous, but it's definitely on the loud side compared to other forced-air heaters I've used. As for the thermostat, this probably wouldn't be a problem on a very cold night or in a large room. In my small room on a mildly chilly night, however, the heater remains on even when the dial is on the lowest setting. I was roasting. Too bad. The build quality seems really solid, and it comes with a three-year warrantee.

 Great Heater Dec 02, 2007
By G. Kline
Great Little heater, good Build Quality, unit won't shut off when at set temp . It's just a simple good little heater. It has a thermostat control, power switch, auto shut off if tipped, and forces are from the top and hot air forced to the bottom so you can place the heater against the wall if needed

5 Star space heater, but... Dec 03, 2009
By Techgal
I bought this at the end of the summer when it was on sale.
I wanted a heater that wouldn't turn off when it thought my bedroom was warm enough. I had also seen this heater featured in a news piece on TV last winter.
Unfortunately it does not heat my room very well. I have another fan forced heater that moves the temperature up faster and keeps it there. But if you want a heater that you can place next to you to warm you up, this heater is 5 stars. I am using it now in my livingroom for TV viewing. I don't think it is any louder than any other fan forced heater, and I actually like the white noise. For quiet heating you have to use an oil-filled radiator.

Great little space heater Feb 24, 2007
By R. Kister
I've owned this model for a few years now and I've been very happy. I've used this heater to save on utility bills by keeping the house thermostat low and using this to deliver spot heat in just the rooms I use. This forced-air heater will blow warm air quite a long distance and really circulates the air well. If you are looking for a unit that can heat a room efficiently, this is your product. If you use a heater under your desk to keep your legs warm this will do well. You will want to locate the heater somewhere behind you and point it where you want the heat.
