LaskoOscillating Hybrid Fan and Space Heater for Home, All Season High Velocity Hybrid with Tip-Over Switch, Remote Control, Timer and Thermostat, 37.5 Inches, White, 1500W, FHV820

We replaced a different brand unit that had just worn out after many years. This unit has about the same footprint as the one we replaced and it's taller which for us was a positive because it also has lighted buttons on the top to select heat and digitally pick the desired temperature as well as just run the fan. Doing that manually our old item required sitting on the floor. The remote control that came with it did not work. I corresponded via email with Lasko customer service. They asked me to try a couple of things which I did. Those did not solve the problem so Lasko sent me a replacement via FedEx. Shortly after the time to return to Amazon expired the thermostat that shuts the unit off when it reaches the desired temperature failed. I contacted Lasko Customer Support again and they sent me a new unit which works great. The thermostat gets to the set temperature and shuts off. There’s some difference between the temperature the heater displays and what the room thermometer displays and that’s expected. Once you learn what temperature to set on the heater/fan unit to get the temperature you want in the room all is good. I really appreciate that Lasko stood behind its product. I would buy Lasko again because of that.

I think this is a great heating fan, and quite useful when you need something close by to heat up, Vs turning up the heat on the entire house (inconvenient to others, and increases utility bills). Overall I will recommend.What I liked:- Fan heats up in just a few seconds- Oscillating fan and remote work well- Heating has multiple levels, I generally use highest though.- Not too loud- Runs really long time, and no issues of overheating etc.- Feel pretty safe with kids around. The fan has two sides, one for warm air, the other for cool air. The one for warm air, has a solid grill like cover, and kids wont be able to get their fingers in (or put anything inside). I feel safe with kids around this.What I didn't like as much:- After about 5 feets, you will feel the wind, but not the heating as much. So the wind will feel cold (if the room temp is cold). So the fan needs to be close to keep you warm (which works pretty well).You should understand that this will not heat an entire room (or will take an awfully long time to do so, just like any other heating fan). I use this in a large room which doesn't heat up as good, so maybe it may work better in a smaller room.

I live in an RV which means space is limited. I use to have to swap out fans and heaters has the seasons change. I prefer using electric heaters during the winter and save my butane for emergencies. Back the beginning of winter 2021 I was looking to replace one of my heaters because it had died. I also had another one which I had a feeling was on its last leg. I found one of these at the local store and though it was more expensive then what I wanted to spend I decided to get one because I knew I would be needing new fans come summer. It worked so well that I tighten the belt and splurged on a 2nd. They, along with a single Lasko mini tower heater I had been working well. At the beginning of the winter 2023 season I loaned out the mini tower has it started to get cold to a friend which has been struggling and who needed a new heater. Knowing I would need another one myself, I search on Amazon and found this, a match for my other two save for color. (They are black.) I decided to grab it and have not been disappointed. I love the fact they have filters which help protect the fans and heating element. I also love the fact that no matter what heat setting you choose, it has 4, you can still set a temperature has well. Most of the heaters I have had before would only let you set a temperature if you are using the highest setting. If you use any other, like the lowest setting, its continuously puts out heat, leaving me to having to turn the heater on and off because it would always get too hot. The only thing that would make them better if I could turn them on and off or change the settings via Alexa.

Heating works well as does the fan. The comments about the light are true it is rather bright, reduced it with a wee bit of tape. Also a bit louder than expected but not unbearably so. Happy with the purchase!

Works better than the other version! The heating being on top on this version makes it much more efficient and heats up the room well.

The first time I used this unit in my Casita, it warmed up from about 30 to 65 degrees in 5 minutes. The thermostat works at the Medium 900W setting as well as High, and kept us comfortable all night, that’s the good news.The BAD, the next time out, the Heat side worked, but the cool Fan side did not. It seems to have all the whistles and bells, but that’s often the sort of thing that eventually has problems, as this one did, a LOT sooner than expected.So, it has been returned and I bought a designated Lasko, as well as a Vonado heater which both work exceptionally well, along with a couple Vornado fans, which also work great. Often times, simple and effective works much better than complicated and cumbersome.

I needed an additional space heater for our home and this one was perfect for us. Most heaters are short and only distribute the air to lower areas. This one is tall enough to get the air where it needs to be. Very easy to use, is quiet and powerful. It also has a very contemporary design. Lasko is the brand I prefer to buy as they are very reliable and last for years. Highly recommend.
