Lasko Ellipse 12" 1500-Watt Ceramic Tabletop Space Heater with Remote, Black

I wanted something small with a remote control that had a digital display and it oscillates.I have had other Lasko products and have been quite pleased. So when I came across this gem it immediately caught my attention.It uses AAA batteries which are easy to install in a very user friendly remote control. The instructions are simple and easy to follow and anyone can figure them out. The digital display iseasy to read and the features are quite accurate.This would be excellent in a small space but I am using it to take the chill off in a large area. This extra burst of heat makes all the difference when you are in a large cold space.It is lightweight, even quiet when the fan is engaged and the oscillating range is just enough.If you put your hand out in front you can easily feel the heat 2 ft away.The remote has a great range for convenience or you can manually make selections. The cool thing is, the first reading you receive on the screen will be the temperature in the room. Then you select the temperature you desire and that number flashes until it sets. The temperature in the room will go up as it gets closer to your desired temperature.If you reach the maximum temperature it will maintain that level. It will shut off 2 degrees above that max. If the temperature falls below thats level it will turn back on.I am using this in bright light so I don't think the remote glows or illuminates in the dark. If it doesn't that would be a great added feature.Awesome little mini dynamite. It's time for me to order another one just to have on hand. One for work and one for home.

Our living room is on the north side of the townhouse and gets very chilly in winter, with heat going right up the stairs. I wanted a small heater to keep my legs warm as I work at my desk, but it had to be small enough to store out of the traffic pattern when not in use, and not noisy as I am sometimes on the phone. This little heater has worked very well for me this winter. I never use the remote, so I can't comment on it. I find the control panel a bit confusing, can't get it to reset to the temp I want and stay there, but my husband has no trouble doing so. Admittedly, I am tech-challenged and digital stuff and I are not very sympatico, so take it with a grain of salt. I like the oscillating feature, it warms the whole room without burning my legs. I don't have a lot of leg room under my desk, so it sits on the floor beside the desk tucked away until I need it. I have a toddler grandson, so I like the tip-over turn-off safety feature. Overall, a great heater, probably my favorite that I've ever owned.

I originally bought this little ceramic heater to use in my office where it gets a little cooler than the rest of the house and it worked great. With the ability to set the thermostat and have it turn off and on automatically it does way more than I thought it would. Now that my wife and I have started camping it is even better to use in our tent. We plug it in to the campsite hookup and set it up overnight to keep us warm in the chilliest of weather. Auto shutoff from the timer works great as well. Did I mention oscillate? This thing spins back and forth to cover the most area. I love this thing!

I have tried several compact (10-12”) ceramic convection space heaters and found this 12” Lasko ellipse tabletop heater (CD12950) and the Dreo Atom One (HSH004) to be two of the best. Both generate a lot of heat for such small units and include remotes as well as an oscillation mode, but overall I liked the Dreo heater slightly better (sold on Amazon at https://a.co/d/3WRLdEA ).Here are the pros and cons of the Lasko 12” ellipse heater relative to the Dreo Atom One:PROS• Generates a bit higher heat with a slightly stronger fan• Sleeker, less bulky appearance• Timer can be set in 10-minute increments up to an hour (then hourly up to 12 hours)• Oscillation from side to side is a bit quicker (with a slightly narrower range of motion)CONS• Slightly noisier ~4db (although still fairly quiet, especially at the two lower speeds)• Temperature light is fairly bright and stays on continuously (only an issue in dark rooms at night)• Thermostat is not very accurate, so heater rarely turns off automatically in Eco mode (forcing user to turn it off manually when the room gets too warm)• Buttons on top of heater are sometimes hard to press (same issue on Dreo) and glossy black surface near buttons shows fingerprints• No automatic countdown to cool down unit with fan after turning off heater• About $5 more expensive when both units are on saleI would also consider purchasing the Dreo Solaris 317 which is newer than the Atom One and looks a bit more modern (taller & thinner) with the heating fan element being slightly taller than the Atom One enabling the air to circulate a little higher off the floor.

I had this for almost a year now and it was worth the money. I love the temperature settings and how comfortable the heat feel. It was easy to put together and is fire hazard safe. Immediately shuts off if tilted just a little. It small but efficient and doesn't take up too much room. The timer allows you to set a temperature and will shut off once it reaches that temp. Will buy again when needed

Bought this for my daughter's room as she was getting a bit cold as compared to the rest of the house. It works great. Very warm and efficient. Easy to use and fits great on her bureau. It's small so best for a small bedroom.
