Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation System
Customer Review: No cold any longer.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in Central Texas, and it gets cold, but not THAT cold, but still I wanted to be warm. After reading up about this heater I decided to get one, and have been very happy with it. My electric bills are not much more than if I had been using the gas heat. Will heat a room great. Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
Am very happy with the heaters. I bought two in an effort to limit electric furnice from running and these did the trick. In my mind the cost of periodically running these versus the big heating elements and fan in the furnice will save money.
I have not had to run the furnice since my purchase and time will tell if they are cost efficient.
They are small and easy to move as they do have a handle type grip.
Would recommend.

A very good little heater that is well worth the money. I use it to heat a 6X12 insulated Cargo trailer.Customer Review: Lasko Heater
Summary: 5 Stars
After drooling hours of reading reviews and comparing heaters I finally settled on this little heater. I received it very quickly with no packaging issues (purchased from Amazon.com), the item was intact and operational. 30-45 minutes after turning it on, our living room and family room was noticeably warmer. After about an hour we had to turn it down to it's lowest setting, which maintained the two rooms very well. I have now been running it almost non-stop for the last three weeks now and it is still running strong!Customer Review: Works well, but constantly heats (doesn't truly regulate temp)
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros (for our situation): can be set against the wall, heats from the floor up, lit power button, high/low settings, keeps the room consistently/thoroughly warm (78*+) on low, the thermostat is accurate (we have a 'high-safety,' ceramic heater in there now, but the internal components heat-up, thereby telling the unit to shut off early AND keeping the thermostat's temperature reading artifically high while the room has yet to get within 5* of optimal temp), CHEAP(price, not initial quality--we only paid $20 or so), cycles the air through the room well (even heat). Some people complained about the fan noise level being too high, but it's perfect for us (we want enough noise to know it's on, but it is by no means too loud).
Cons: heating function NEVER turns off. I thought the "Temperature Regulation System" would cycle between HIGH (for the initial heat-up), LOW (for when it is closer to the desired temperature) and either OFF or FAN (reading reviews, it seemed it never turned off, so I assumed that meant the FAN never turned off). Anyway, (I know leaving a fan on while not in the room is neither smart nor recommended, but that's the whole reason why we needed a new heater) at minimum, there is a constant drain of 750 watts while the unit is turned on.
Just the one con (for us). Otherwise, it seems to be working well for us. I just wish that the heater would turn off and the fan would stay on OR that the fan would turn off when the optimal temperature was reached.
