How tall is the actual heat vents? Like my current lasko is 23" tall but heat only disperses from about 12". - Thanks

I've owed several throughout the years and this is the weakest,and yet more xpensive .save your money and pick a different heater.

this is a tall unit. It easily heats up the entire room. My room is 12 x 12 with 10 foot ceilings.

Hi! The actual heat vent is only 15 in. (not really impressed), and its bottom is about 1 foot higher than the unit base (floor). Also, heat vent is about 1 in. wide. Also, there's a separate round-shape vent which is below the heat vent, blowing cool air out; NOT warm air. In general, I think it's not really better than other lower units. I would rate this one 3 stars at most.

I don't know how to answer this question. We have not noticed this but we also haven't been around the heater throughout the night to notice it. Have you contacted Lasko's customer service? That would be my only suggestion.

Mine is 32" High, just under 13.5" Wide, and 20" Deep. The handle adds about an extra 1.5" depth. It worked well for a year till the upper cooler gave out, one nice feature is that the lower unit kept working. We probably wore out the TEC by keeping it at its lowest temp setting of 51F. It has 2 fans mounted in the rear panel with no soundproofing so it is not silent. There are small red and green LEDs visible through the rear side vents whenever the unit is on.

It depends on the height of the heater. I'm 5'7" tall. With the heater on high and approximately 2 ft above my head, I can feel the heat on my head. Definitely more downward than out and spread.

Bonnie I don't know what happened to my first response. So I'll answer again. I use the 23,000 btu radiant heater and I love it. I have a 70ft double wide and its very open. I am researching a smaller unit like this one to save on kero. I am learning this as I read the reviews. Do a google search for utube kero heaters and you will learn how they work, how to clean and maintain these heaters. I love the one I have and wish to have purchased sooner. If you are concerned about changing the wick...your local hardware store is probably available to replace your wick. The clean burn u should be able to do. Anyway, hopes this help. You will definately save on propane gas. Actually, I only use my furnace to take the chill off and for cooking. I close off my bedroom using a Delonghi elect radiator and I am searching this heater reviews to use it instead. I buy kero K-1 from home depot instead of a gas station as it may contain water or other contaminants...this is my choice. So go it girl and happy heatinlg. Aneesah

I've never used a Honeywell Heatbud. As for the Lasko, it's on the floor under my desk and out of sight. I'm happy with it. If you need to make a fashion statement, go with the Honeywell.

The unit itself is cool to the touch. The air coming out is warm enough that you wouldn't want to leave your hand in front of it too long, but it won't burn you. If children would be crawling on the floor around this heater, I would put it on a counter or table. It isn't more than 20" tall. The widest part of the base is 6" wide so it doesn't compare in capacity or height to the large oscillating heaters about twice that tall.

I forgot to mention my ceiling height, it is approximately the same as your ceiling height. My room has one wall of windows (drafty-winter).I honestly really believe this heater will be perfect. I turn the heater on high close the doors, in 15 minutes it is warm. I do have to turn the heater down, gets very warm/hot. It is very light weight, thin. This is the first heater I tried, no experience with others. Jeannine, I do hope this info helps. I am very happy. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

At full extension, it stands 3'9" tall, and at lowest, it is 3'3". You can set it to anywhere in between, fully adjustable using the lockable shaft (twisting to tighten). I can not say enough how much I love this heater - Instead of heating the whole house, I can just heat one room, and it heats FAST. It oscillates if you want, and does so very quietly, and evenly. I love the remote so I don;t even have to get up to change the temp or on/off.

I installed mine about 6 months ago and I have 12 ft high ceilings and it works fine. I can feel the heat right away. I think you have a defective unit.

Hi. I work in an 24/7 hour office that is kept at @ 66 degrees (for all of the electronic equipment, you understand). After I end my tour for the day my Lasko is up for grabs. My last unit was used 24/7 and lasted almost three years in spite of the occasionally mistreatment. This is my second Lasko and it is Still some of the best money I ever spent.-

5.75 inches tall counting rubber feet on bottom. You need some space over the top of the unit for air to circulate to prevent over heating of the unit.

This heater works well in 100 sq ft above 53 degrees. Below 50 degrees low temperature an additional Lasko heater may be necessary depending on what your insulation and window type that you have. I still love mine.

I'm not familiar with any other Lasko, but this model has buttons on top that controls the Oscillation, timer, heat setting, and the whole unit turns about a quarter turn, back and forth... It's a neat lil heater...

I feel HeatBud should be better and I am going to order one and return one of my Lasko Myheats back. I found Myheat's fuse seems to get blowed easier. I have exchanged two of them. The third one I decide to get refund.

Sorry Jerry. The heater is ventless. I bought 2 of these to heat my very old home that has 12' ceilings (about 1200 sf). It kept us fairly comfortable all winter here in central GA. My natural gas bill never ran more than 120 in any month, and we also have a gas stove. My wife and I are home most of the time. We never keep the heater in our bedroom on at night, but leave the one in the kitchen on a low setting at night. These little heater give off a lot of heat. A thermostat control on them would have been a small improvement, but to save money, I did not order mine with thermostats. Hope this helps. Sorry Jerry. The heater is ventless.

Depending on the canister you choose for fuel, mine stands about 6 inches tall. Very compact and heats like a rocket ship. Mine goes everywhere with me and I was overly pleased at it's efficiency. Hope this helps.
