Great looking, and love the LED light inside, when the door is open. A little noisy when it's running, but I had read that before I bought it. Makes ice great and faster that I thought it would.

Only complaint is that the larger side where it holds beverage cans, temperature will not go below 45 degrees. I'm going to have a tech come out to see about the thermostat (under warranty). Also, 4 year warranty only available in Canada.

Cheap SPT SH-1505 Ceramic Heater with Humidifier

I needed the temperature in my baby's room to stay the same even though we're in a small apartment. This really did the trick. It looks great is very compact compared to other ugly large heater humidifiers AND it is both a heater and humidifier so even when it warms up in there it does feel so dry. It also has a tip over feature, which or safety is great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I wish you could operate the humidifer separate from the heater but you can't. Can't have it all I guess. Oh, and we have a modern looking apartment and this fits right in!

We bought this because of the humidifier feature. However, the humidifier is very hard to fill (You have to pour it in at a trickle), and the reservoir is tiny. Fortunately, neither of these things are really a problem because it takes weeks to even produce enough humidity to go through that tiny amount of water. I think you could literally just leave out a glass of water and it would evaporate faster than what this thing puts out. DON'T waste your money buying this. The heater is totally adequate, but you can find one just as good without the humidifier for one third the price. Buy a separate heater and humidifier and you'll still come out ahead and you'll have a humidifier that actually works. Seriously. I never take the time to write reviews, but this thing is a joke. Save your money!

I bought this heater for my husband who suffers from arthritis. He likes is extra hot in the room so we were using a space heater at night. However he started getting bad nose bleeds from the hot dry air. The SPT SH-1505 Ceramic Heater with Humidifier has stopped the nose bleeds altogether. I can feel the humidy in the room and the heater works well to heat a room. I would recommend this product.

Honest reviews on SPT SH-1505 Ceramic Heater with Humidifier

As others have noted, filling the humidifier reservoir is confounding because one must poor so slowly. Plus, humidifier consumes full reservoir of water on low setting if run overnight. Moisture/humidity not appreciably better. "Thermostat" is nothing more than a manual switch which allows high/low/off settings.

On the plus side, the heater seems to fire up quickly and the fan is very, very quiet---almost imperceptible.

I've concluded that getting separate humidifier and heater is probably a better way to go.

The heater works real good, but the heater has to run for the humidifier to work. So can't run it on high as it will shut off, but found out on low it runs all the time so I run it on low to get heat and humidity.

It's clear. It appears fairly tough. I doesn't appear to mess with temperature or humidity readings although it has a lot of air moving over it in my installation.

I wish there was a shallower version available. It sticks out pretty far beyond the 1.25" thermostat. It only comes with 1 key.

Lasko 5572 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $114.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 22% Off

Just got this tower heater today. Observations so far:

-I deducted a star because it's a bit wobbly on carpet and on ceramic tile. It's probably too heavy to tip easily, but it bears mentioning. It's quite tall. The space saving of a tower heater is perfect for my small motorhome, so I live with wobble. No idea how this could be corrected without creating unwanted bigger footprint or weight.

-I put it in a different place during the day, so the carry handle is convenient.

-It seems to be more powerful than my smaller Lasko tower heater, even though the watt settings are the same as the smaller heater. Maybe it's more efficient.

-The front definitely needs to be located a yard from any flammables, because the heat coming out is too hot to hold my hand two feet in front of it, even on low, for more than a few seconds.

-The remote is simple to use. The remote's buttons could be more differentiated for easier operation in the dark.

-The controls on the heater itself are cheesy looking, and the engraved silver-on-silver labels are difficult to read in shadow.

-I would like to have the thermostat work on the low setting. In both my Lasko towers the thermostat works only on high. Freeze or fry.

-The heat and blower can't be felt at the bottom foot or so. I can put it almost anywhere, and it won't bother the cat on the floor. The downside is that the lowest part of the room isn't heated.

-There's a clip on the back that holds the remote. It would be great for Lasko to include a second one of those cutom fitted clips to be able to attach to a wall to hang the remote near where it will actually be used.

I phoned Lasko to get some help comparing the various heaters, of which they list 19 in the tower design alone. Basically I was told I had to figure it out myself from whatever product descriptions they provided online. Fortunately Home Depot online makes an effort to help compare multiple products; although, it's limited to what they offer, of course. Both HD and Walmart carry this model, but neither had it in stock. Prices were the about the same, and I saved tax and shipping with my Prime membership by purchasing through Amazon.

I recently purchased the LASKO 5568 and liked it so much I decided to get another; wound up getting this model instead and can't say enough good things about it. The design is well conceived, solid quality construction, and very effective. Throws out a considerable amount of heat, the fan is very quiet at both high and low, and the options for operation are all useful and work well. Lasko seems to manufacture a series of these ceramic tower units and all are very well reviewed; I checked the review on bestcovery.com and this unit was rated number 1, and for good reason. I use both these heaters in larger rooms (14 X 26) with 9 ft. ceilings and they are effective in taking off the chill and keeping the room comfortable. The fan on this model is so quiet on low I can barely hear it, yet it continues to put out a steady stream of hot air. Appears to be a quality product built to last, and at $68 you get a LOT for your money, I rate this a best buy as well.

We were looking for another space heater and a friend recommended the Lasko Ceramic Tower. We purchased a later model, and there were some improvements, such as the carring handle. It is light weight and easy to carry to different locations. It does a very good job of heating the room. We live in North West Tennessee and with the combination of another space heater, we have not used our furnace at all this year. The electric bill has dropped dramatically. We will be purchasing another Lasko next winter. Lasko 5572 Ceramic Tower Heater with Logic Center Remote Control

Honest reviews on Lasko 5572 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

My bedroom averages 56 degrees in the winter. I freeze when getting dressed or when I first get into bed. I now set the heater to 65 degrees and in no time the large bedroom is cozy even though there are cathedral ceilings. I'm sure if I wanted the room warmer the tower would bring the temperature up higher. I also like the way the Lasko 5572 oscillates. I would recommend this heater to anyone who needs to heat a room and keep it at a consistent temperature.

Just bought and received this through Amazon. A family member recommended the Lasko brand after his purchasing a few different models and sizes himself in the past three years.

After further researching different models and brands, I purchased this one because it rated highly on Amazon.com and other sites -including bestcovery.com -in the Top 5 for Best Tower, Best Large Room, and Best Oscillating.

Below I'll describe a few things to help others trying to decide....including why I was looking, features I sought, setting it up, and how it performed first two days.

WHY: I live in a cold, damp geography during winter and the home's central electric heat seems to be on all the time. Needed something for a large open living/dining/kitchen poorly insulated space on the first floor ~800 sq ft, which is typically colder.

FEATURES SOUGHT: Specifically, features I wanted and influencing my decision for this model:

--Ceramic (no open heating elements)

--Powerful ~1500 watts (for large space)

--Automatic Thermostat / Auto Temp Control (for minimal muckying around myself)

--Long Timer (8 hours)

--Timer Self Shut Off

--Oscillating (for better heat distribution)

--Remote (for use in other rooms)

--Wider/heavier at bottom than top (for better stability)

--Slim & simple design to be as inconspicuous as possible

--Simple heat fan speeds (High/Low, again for least muckying)

--Price (close to $50)

I already had a HEPA air filter/ionizer in the space, so didn't need the filter function.

Other models I compared to had shorter timers, lower wattage, smaller size, no oscillators, and/or no remote.

SET UP: Received the box undamaged, opened and set it up. At under 6 lbs, the unit was light weight enough for little ol' me to pull out of box and stand without strain. ;-)

Handle on top / back is a generous size to be able to move the unit a few inches with a single hand.

Read instructions, plugged it in, turned on power, and the unit did what the instructions said. It started on high and read current room temperature at 63*F. Followed instructions to use buttons, then set C or F, target temp to 75*F, and oscillating on.

PERFORMANCE FIRST TWO DAYS: Very impressive. It began pumping solid heat on high. Within an hour it read 70*F in the space, and within two hours it read 73*F. Checking against another thermometer I had, it was only about a degree difference. Within 3 hours, it read 75*F and turned itself off for a bit. It's a large space, so I was pleasantly surprised. Concluded the time it took to get to 75* was a function of the inherent coldness and lack of insulation in the space, not of the heater output.

THINGS I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY:

--Be sure to have two AAA batteries handy when it arrives to install in remote. Unit ships without batteries.

--Heat output is clearly noticeable.

--Oscillating function makes no noise.

--It's the high fan setting that makes a moderate volume whir. Low fan noise is barely noticeable.

--Font size of the Temp display is large ~3/4" and easily readable, on both the unit and remote, so I don't have to use reading glasses.

--Remote is very light weight. It works from as much as 20' away, but main unit display needs to be facing where you/the remote are.

--Beeping happens for every press on both unit and remote, but it's a reasonable volume. Folks with sensitive sleeping children may want to really consider this. It'd be nice to have a High, Low, or Mute volume setting, but for the price and knowing this model didn't have one, it's acceptable.

OVERALL: Great unit, works well, as promised, and I'd definitely buy this Lasko again.

NOTE: I also ordered a DeLonghi comparable model for the master suite, and am awaiting shipment/receipt. It has had similar Top Tower reviews. Unlike this Lasko model, I ordered the DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat

specifically for these functions I needed for the master bedroom space:

--Fan-Only function without heat for summer use summer

--24 hour timer

--Air/dust filter

--Tip over safety turn-off

Once received, I'll try to post a review of it.

Happy sleuthing!

Review of Lasko #3720 Performance 20 In. Weather Shield Box Fan with Save

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $38.20
Today's Bonus: 4% Off

While checking Amazon in the course of recommending this fan to a friend, I was surprised by the mediocre rating people had given it and decided to add my experience to the reviews. Like Richard Shrum above, I'm confused about what fan some of the negative reviewers were talking about. A few of their comments don't seem to compute with the fan I own, which has 3720 marked on its frame, matches the picture above, and is listed on Lasco's website.

I've owned mine since April 2005 and have run it as a window fan (on low) from eight to eighteen hours a day, for about 325 days each year, and it still operates as well as it did on day one. With this kind of use, I've sort of expected something to go wrong or burn out, but nothing has. All I've had to do is turn it on, turn it off, and clean it every four or five months a fifteen minute chore.

As I was writing this, I got to wondering just what my use actually amounted to. Based on very conservative estimates, I figure my fan has run about 3700 hours each year, or about 12,200 hours since I bought it. Impressive as that figure is, get this since the fan runs at 635 RPM on the low setting, that means the fan's motor, bearing, and blade have revolved over 460 million times and still counting! (Check my math if you want, I sure did: 635 x 60 x 12200 = 464,820,000.)

So I think you can see why, for me, this Lasco 3720 has been what all appliances should be, but seldom are: simple, effective, dependable, and reasonably priced. Who knows, maybe there have been quality control problems or production changes since I bought mine. Nevertheless, the basic design has worked exceptionally well for me, and I don't think you should overlook this model if it looks like the meets your requirements.

This review is for: Lasko 3720 20" Box Fan

How on earth do you choose a box fan? Well really they mostly choose us don't they, we choose the first box we see. The product descriptions aren't much help, they mostly all say they are quiet, powerful, low cost to operate, etc. Are they really all that different from each other?

When looking for a replacement fan I found 2 of our fans were recalled in 2005 for fire hazard, so now I am replacing 3 fans. I guess in-plug mini-fuses became universal for a reason. Let's get started...

The 20" box fans we'll compare are:

A Aerospeed BX100

B Holmes HBF2002A

C Kenmore 32002

D Lasko 3720

E Lasko 3721

F Lasko 3723

G Lasko 3733

H Lasko B20201

DESIGN AND DETAILS:

---------------------

All have white fans and grills, gray enclosures, 245-260 square inch areas the blades pass through, and 70"-73" cords.

A Aerospeed BX100

Wavy grill (BX200/BX400 have other grills).

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

Little smaller enclosure (you wouldn't notice unless side-by-side), though the blades pass through an area near to the highest square inches of the bunch.

The in-plug mini-fuse is easily replaceable if it blows.

B Holmes HBF2002A (Target)

Simple grid grill, blades have circle connecting them.

Fan speed dial and plug connection are on the MIDDLE OF THE BACK. This is not ideal if bringing air into the house from a window and not an attractive option when exhausting out.

The in-plug mini-fuse is easily replaceable if it blows.

Looks exactly like the Kenmore 32002.

NEGATIVE: At top speed it vibrates like crazy, enough to move itself.

C Kenmore 32002 (Sears/Kmart)

Simple grid grill, blades have circle connecting them.

Fan speed dial and plug connection are on the MIDDLE OF THE BACK. This is not ideal if bringing air into the house from a window and not an attractive option when exhausting out.

The in-plug mini-fuse is easily replaceable if it blows.

Looks exactly like Holmes HBF2002A.

D Lasko 3720

Circular grill, blue logo on the front, blue speed dial.

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

Lasko promotes this as their fan of choice to PUT IN A WINDOW because it is more RAIN RESISTANT (not weatherproof).

All Lasko in-plug mini-fuses are not replaceable.

This is a wider (4 3/4") and thus fairly STABLE fan enclosure compared to some of their models.

Should be mostly the same as 3721, except this has the blue logo.

E Lasko 3721

Circular grill, blue speed dial.

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

Lasko promotes this as their fan of choice to PUT IN A WINDOW because it is more RAIN RESISTANT (not weatherproof).

All Lasko in-plug mini-fuses are not replaceable.

This is a wider (4 3/4") and thus fairly STABLE fan enclosure compared to some of their models.

Should be mostly the same as 3720, except no blue logo.

F Lasko 3723

Circular grill, blue speed dial.

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

Although it physically LOOKS LIKE one, this is NOT one of the rain resistant ones like the 3270/3721 (larger size, blue dial, etc.).

All Lasko in-plug mini-fuses are not replaceable.

This is a wider (4 3/4") and thus fairly STABLE fan enclosure compared to some of their models.

LOOKS just like the 3721, larger enclosure and no blue logo. But again not a rain resistant model.

NEGATIVE: Rattles a little at all speeds

G Lasko 3733

Simple grid grill.

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

All Lasko in-plug mini-fuses are not replaceable.

NEGATIVE: Shakes a lot at settings 2&3.

NEGATIVE: Listeners thought the hum tone was more annoying than the others.

H Lasko B20201

Simple grid grill.

Fan speed dial is on TOP.

All Lasko in-plug mini-fuses are not replaceable.

NEGATIVE: LOUD at highest setting, listeners thought annoyingly so.

NEGATIVE: Little more of an airplane hum/whine sound.

"(yelling over a fan) THEY SAY THEY ARE ALL QUIET!"

aka NOISE:

-----------

First some things that may help you get more out of this section on noise..

It takes +10dBA to be perceived as a doubling in LOUDNESS.

It takes just under +6dBA (5.85dBA) to be perceived as 50% (half-again) LOUDER.

It takes just over +3dBA (3.22dBA) to be perceived as 25% (quarter-again) LOUDER.

(Note: When you read that +3dBA roughly doubles "sound pressure" that's different than perceived loudness)

Most sounds 50dbA on up have more of a potential to annoy, for example when while trying to talk, and especially starting at 55dbA (highly subjective, but gives you an idea).

Okay, now onto the comparison..

SUBJECTIVELY listeners liked the WHOOSH of air sound much more than that of the HUM of a rotating object. I noted next to the fan descriptions above which ones listeners felt had a sound they didn't like as much, regardless of loudness.

POWER USAGE:

--------------

We see below that the difference in yearly electrical cost is fairly small, and of course much less than air conditioning. If a little additional on-going expense for a fan makes this much less costly alternative to air conditioning more palatable, then that's probably a good investment.

However, being green is an important factor for some folks, so here below is a comparison in electricity usage I measured.

(A)

Setting.....Watts.....Annual Cost 12hrs/d 90d/yr 10cents/kWH

AIR VELOCITY:

--------------

The 5' and 10' were measured straight ahead from fans. The fan surface measurement was done roughly 1/2 way up the fan blades right against the grill.

On fan surface air velocity half-way up a blade at one point is, of course, just a sample point, and air velocity at a distance can be greatly affected by the degree of focus/dispersal. Nevertheless, I hope this air velocity info helps us get a better sense for the differences between the fans.

SELECTING A FAN:

------------------

I removed these fans for excessive shaking, rattling, noise, and/or hum/whine: (B)Holmes,(F)3723,(G)3733,(H)B20201.

I then removed one fan for the center placement of dial and plug connection due to non-ideal position for window placement: (C)Kenmore.

This leaves these to choose from:

(A) Aerospeed BX100

(D) Lasko 3720

(E) Lasko 3721

Some other little Aerospeed BX100 (Fan A) comparative details:

Option of lowest air velocity and noise would be of interest if someone will be very near.

Replaceable in-plug fuse in case it blows, the Lasko ones aren't replaceable.

Classic all-white front if you prefer that (like 3721 but not like 3720 with its blue logo).

The option of a little quieter at the very low end of the loudness range.

Lower electricity usage.

Lasko 3720 and 3721 (Fans D&E) for their part give the option of a little more air velocity at the very high end of the velocity range.

The Lasko 3720 and 3721 also look a bit different than the Aerospeed BX100, so looks may be another deciding factor for you.

Note that for any given loudness or air velocity they overlap in, these models have very similar sound/velocity profiles. That is, when comparing points where air velocities are roughly equal for the fans (at the same distances), the loudness difference is so small I can hardly tell which is louder and the numbers support that.

So there it is, my favorite three and some ways to compare them.

SUMMARY:

----------

In the end these are just classic 20" box fans which are more similar than they are different. Hopefully whichever you choose won't be a lemon and will work for many years. Perhaps somewhere above you'll find information you can use to choose the best fan to meet your needs.

Whatever you get, if it rattles, shakes like crazy, makes an annoying hum, etc., try exchanging it for another, don't settle, there are less annoying fans out there and you'll be listening to them for many years to come.

I hope this helps someone :).

SHOPPING NOTE:

----------------

Millions of 20" box fans are sold in the U.S. every year. Review sites cannot get anywhere near a statistically valid user sample, so although we learn from comments about DEFECTS and EARLY FAILURE, I suggest not filtering out a model based entirely on them.

There are also old reviews that have already been acted on by manufacturers to improve the product or fix a description, thus the review may no longer be accurate.

That said, defect and early failure comments with details are great for FEEDBACK TO THE MANUFACTURER (or author) and to help us all much more quickly SPOT SIMILAR ISSUES and thus get an exchange while it is quick and easy to do. Again though, I wouldn't use them to filter out a model entirely.

Best Deals on Lasko #3720 Performance 20 In. Weather Shield Box Fan with Save

I have just purchased my second Lasko 3720 fan from "Wal-corp". I had two older model Lasko Fans that had been running 24/7 for about 3 years now. Never had any issue from them in the last 3 years, every so often I would take them outside and blow them out with high pressure air. Recently, one of the older models got to where is was difficult for it to start once the motor had cooled. The barrings were worn. The fan would still start after slowly turning for a few seconds, but I didn't want to take the chance of the fan not starting and the motor sitting there locked especially if I were away from the house and the power had dropped.

I decided to replace the fan and found the Lasko 3720 box fan, bought it and brought it home. I immediately noticed that is was quieter than the older model and still moved the same amount of air, if not a little more. Plus it has the "safety fused" plug which is a nice added feature. After running it for a week, I decided to spend another $20 to purchase a second 3270 to replace the second older model that still works, but for the purpose that this 3720 model is quieter.

Overall I am very satisfied with the Lasko Line of fans and this paticular model, the 3720! Worth every penny.

Honest reviews on Lasko #3720 Performance 20 In. Weather Shield Box Fan with Save

I started using these fans in my barn 3 years ago and all are still operating with no problem. I use them to cool my horses and they are in the windows of each stall. Trust me, they are exposed to dust, rain and wind and not to mention curious horses. They have been knocked out of the windows and still keep on working. Excellent product!!!

I bought this fan about a year ago at a local store where I could see it before buying it. It was inexpensive and appeared well-constructed. Permanent split, capacitor motor with a sturdy cast-aluminum motor housing and a hefty 5uF 250 VAC capacitor mounted beneath. Decent fit and finish everyhere.

But despite appearances, the fan failed this week. I turned it on when I went to bed, and awoke to silence in the morning. I'm the sort to open things and see why they failed, and in this case it was the thermal protective fuse inside the motor. The evening it failed it was running in an open window with temps in the 70s and there was no reason for the motor to get that hot. The blades are clean and turn freely. I used the fan only about 8 weeks of evenings last year not in the winter, and not when the summer heat called for A/C. So this fan self destructed after maybe 50 evenings of use in moderate temps.

The thermal fuse is non-resettable and soldered in place; my time to repair it would be more than the fan's worth, and so would be the cost of return shipping to try to claim the 1-year warranty. I think I am going to try a different brand, because I was not expecting a box fan to be something to replace every season.

This fireplace is very lovely. It has multiple light and heat settings. It is very attractive!! However, it is also a bit too loud. For the price, I expect it to be quieter. Our other complaint is that the top is not a solid piece, but made of 3 pieces. However, it is cute and looks nice in our corner and I am keeping it, but it was expensive and I wish I could figure out how to quiet the sound a bit.

Cute small but good looking flame. Arrived damaged on front upper molding and no response from seller when I reported same

Otherwise so far so good although I just received it in July and have not really used it for any period of time
