Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation System
Customer Review: Great Electric Heater
Summary: 4 Stars
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...DanCustomer Review: Great Heater

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 neededCustomer Review: Great Heater

This little heater really throws out some heat in a hurry. I have two of them and one I have in my 12x12 office. I can turn it on and it will be warm in a matter of about 10 minutes. I highly recommend for small rooms.Customer Review: Great for under the desk
Summary: 4 Stars
It keeps my feet warm which is the reason I bought it. I like that it can be set flush against the wall. It's a bit on the noisy side. The sound reminds me of water running through pipes. I hope that doesn't mean more trips to the bathroom! The heat ouput is unimpressive compared to the Holmes HCH4953-U Ultra Quiet Dual Ceramic Heater with 1Touch® Electronic Thermostat which I also own. The Holmes is also much quieter. But the Holmes heats everything but my feet! If you're looking to supplement your heating the Holmes is the way to go. This Lasko seems better suited for a small area like under a desk or a bathroom where you'd like to keep the floor warm. Both heaters will consume up to 1500W depending on settings, but the Holmes will turn off when it reaches your temp setting and not turn back on again until you're freezing. Consequently I frequently end up setting that heater higher than I need it to keep it running. This heater is better suited for my needs.Customer Review: Great heater

I bought this for a friend to put in her office where she works. All I have heard is how great it it. I have heard it so many times, that I am going to buy one for myself.
