The unit is very nice looking but perhaps the size is a little overkill. I like being able to place it against the wall and out of the way. Does a decent job of heating a poorly insulated room that is about 300 sq. feet with no other heat source. I was able to maintain the room at 60 degrees when the outside temperature dipped to freezing recently. My main gripe is that the heat comes out near the top of the unit (about 2' above the floor). You can't direct the airflow any lower than horizontal so it stays pretty cold on the floor. Just being about to blow the warm air downward would make me change this rating to a 5 star.

If you are looking for a cost-effective way to heat small rooms, the Lasko 758000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater is a great buy. In order to be succinct, please find the "pros" and "cons" below.

Pros:

* Effective and easy-to-understand controls that allow for automatic settings governed by temperature objectives or heating by high or low output

* An illuminated display (easily viewable from 5-10 yards) that indicates the surrounding room temperature

* Directional control for heat output

* Nice form factor that allows for flexible floor placement in terms of space needed and general aesthetics

Cons:

* At higher temperature settings, the unit generates a little noise. To be fair, however, the sound is similar to and no more imposing that a PC or Printer

All in all, this is a good unit for rooms that central heating does not reach effectively. I would definitely buy another unit should the occasion arise.

I bought this unit to heat a finished basement. Like everybody, I did the research, read the reviews and weeded through the hundreds of makes, models and different type space heaters. For the money this is a good unit. It does exactly what it advertises and I am a happy camper.

Honest reviews on Lasko 758000 Cyclonic Ceramic Electric Space Heater

YES IHAVE 3 OF THEM NOW AND IT IS OVER A YEAR NOW AND ALL ARE WORKING GREAT AS OF 3/31/2010. I have just purchased the 3rd heater of this model. The temp works just like they say, and is right on target. Set it at 72 and it kicks off at 74 and starts up at 71. The fan is quiet. As a safty they use and over heat sensor that works to cut the heater off if the air flow is blocked. I would still like to have a tip over switch. I did place my unit on it's face to see what would happen, and it did sut down within 15 sec. Other than the tip over switch that I would like as a back up. I have hunted the internet for hours and not found a better unit. Hope this helps you. If it will last more than a year, that would be very good.

Good luck Jerry

I am truly disappointed in Lasko for this particular heater. We have had great service and satisfaction from Lasko products for years and thought they were invincible. This heater really let us down. It looks nice and heats well but has shortcomings and safety problems we just could not live with.

1. Although the direction of the airflow was variable, it sent the heat in the wrong directions and this could not be overcome. Straight forward to straight up was all it offers. Heated air needs to be directed in a downward path (heat rises, you know) to truly be efficient. My wife likes to put the heat near her feet to be comfortable and this was impossible. Nothing below the maximum downward flow (straight ahead) of this heater became appreciably warm.

2. This heater has an extremely small depth footprint. Although relatively unstable and easy to tip over accidentally on hard floors, it tips itself over forward (with NO effort on our part) on carpeting due to most of the weight of the internals being slung forward. To use it at all in the family room, we had to put a relatively wide board under it.

3. After a very little while on high heat, the power cord gets almost too hot to handle. Compared to other heaters we have (All Laskos), the cord on this model is very lightweight. We also noted that on other Laskos in this power range, they had 3 prong plugs and this one only has 2 prongs. VERY CHEAP and we never felt safe with it.

Thanks to Amazon's great return policy, we were able to send this back for a full refund. We then replaced it with another, better designed Lasko (from Amazon) that we are extremely happy with.

Thanks Amazon!
