Save Smart mode (green leaf) Question: according to manual it will turn off when it reaches the set temperature +4 degree, and it does that, but it will click and turn on again as soon as it cools down there by 1 degree. E.g. I set it to 51, it will just turn off at 55 degrees, and as soon as the digital display reaches 54 degrees, it turns on then within 10 seconds it will read 55 and shut off and it does this very frequently (it is rather annoying when trying to sleep near it). I would think there should be better hysteresis than this? The clicking is noisy and I can't think it would be good to continuously start up the fan and heater like that. It does emit some residual heat from this cycling, but the built in thermostat seems too busy in this mode? Do I have a bad unit or yours also does the same?

It may well be due to the low temp setting at 51. I would suggest trying the automatic temperature control versus adjusting the save-smart temperature and see if it makes any difference. The physical size of the area you are heating can also make a difference. Ours doesn't cycle near as often, but we keep the temperature set at 68 and heat a 900 sq ft area. If you still suspect something is wrong call 1-800-233-0268 (Lasko customer service) and see what they tell you. No matter what we'd appreciate knowing what you find out.

I don't use Save Smart mode because the constant on/off annoys me, as well. That's my only complaint about this heater, but I gave it a five-start review nevertheless. I just run mine on thermostat control, which means it always runs on high when it kicks on. Auto thermostat control only works in high (as you might have noticed). Even if you set the stat while on low power mode, the unit switches to high. I don't see this as a drawback, since the heater would just have to run longer on low to reach the desired temperature. After all "watts is watts," whether you draw them slowly or quickly. I don't use Save Smart mode because the constant on/off annoys me, as well.

I haven't used the smart mode. Can't help you with this question. I turn the heater on low or high, set the temp, and the amount of time I want the heater to run , usually for 1hr. Or however long I am going to be in the room.

That green leaf mode never worked for me. after it reaches your set temp, the next time it cycles back on its in Low heat mode, and stays in Low heat mode and will will never cycle off because its not producing enough heat to warm the current room its in.. keep in mind Im using these heaters when its 30 degrees and lower.. I think this mode would work fine for weather temps in the 45/50 degree or higher range. I would still buy this heater again.

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.

Since I'm not home right now I will answer from memory. There are four temperature settings from which to select (I believe they are 70, 75, 80, 85 degrees) with green light to indicate when that temperature has been reached. At that point it will shut down like any heater with a thermostat. When the quick heat setting is used it will continue to run and put out heat even after it has reached 85 degrees setting.

I now like the machine but the settings/temps process is mysterious. In brief, be sure it is in the mode you want; like standard and not eco or fan. I turn it on and up to where it starts, then back it down. I set its reading to four or five degrees higher than I actually intend. This way it cycles on and off at night and keeps the (bed)room at the desired temperature. This advice may not help. In which case persist; just fool with the thing until you win. Or call LeLonghi and good luck with that.

The blinking "cool to" is the temperature the thermostat will cool your home to..ex.. If it is 78 degrees in your home and you set your thermostat to cool to 70, your unit will run until you are within 2 degrees of the cool to temp..also if it is blinking you can change the temperature either up or down as well.. Hope that makes sense!:)

Actually I did not pay attention if it automatically switch off once reached the chosen temperature, but it has thermostat. I will see in the next days if it stops or it keep on heating. I can say it is a nice and very good quality item.

It goes into a standby mode, and the green light begins to go on and off, Indicating it needs to be refilled. In my opinion this is "auto shut off". But it may be consuming trace amounts of electricity. Minimal if any. It is a great feature.

It automatically shuts off if it becomes too warm, so you could. And with ComforTemp it keeps it between 68-70 degrees. I personally feel more secure turning appliances off if I'm gonna be gone for an extended time though.

It has a thermostatic temperature control that you set to a certain degree setting and when it reached that setting - it maintains it - so it doesn't actually turn off so that it gets cold again, but stays at the temperature that you set it. If you want it to get to a certain temperature and then turn off you would have to unplug it. You know when it has reached the temperature because a red light turns off. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure about the 45* temp turn off, I checked it because the temp was in the 40's and I thought it automatically turned off above 32* and it was still on. I will just unplug it when it's above freezing.

Does it just stop completely or go into a cooler hibernation mode ? Once my unit hits the room temp that it is set on, it seems to shut off. But it actually goes to a cooler temp and a low fan speed. I first thought it shut off but it just adjusts to the room temp being met. If you turn the thermostat up, it goes back into high heat or low heat, what ever you had the temp set on.

I think when you turned it on it is just in stand by mode there is 2 power buttons 1 is on the back and 1 is on the front when you do get good power to the unit then you go up with the temp to about 76 to 78 just to see if it heats and cycles off i hope i am informing you right I do love both of my units I wish you well

The thermostat is a variable setting. It is marked hi, med, lo, and off. you can set the knob anywhere in between. It does not have temperature setting read out dial. because the thermostat is connected to the heater it is not real efficient, That is you don't have an accurate temperature setting. It is similar to most portable heaters. If you are thinking of using the heater in a living area you may want to consider the fan noise. This heater is made in china, and their motors are quite a bit louder than motors made in USA. I purchased the heater for my mother in law and she can't hear her tv when the fan is going. Hope this helps. The thermostat is a variable setting. It is marked hi, med, lo, and off. you can set the knob anywhere in between.

The gray button in center, called mode. I keep mine oh high, without using the temperature setting, otherwise it keeps coming on and off constantly. Just keep hitting the mode button to get where you want to be.

I emailed CS and here is their response "The target room temperature mode is a function which indicates to the fan the temperature which it should automatically turn on or off. This mode should be activated when the thermostat on the fan shows a temperature which you would like the fan to remain at. For example, if the temperature in the room (and on the fan thermostat) is 70 degrees and the target room temperature mode is activated at that time, the fan will then turn off if the temperature drops below 70 degrees or remain active if the temperature raises above 70 degrees." So Basically press the auto button when the fan has cooled down the room to the desired temp, the fan will then automatically adjust to keep the room at that temp as long as the auto button is still on.

That depends on what you are doing in the room. I leave mine on all the time, in ECO mode. It's off most of the time (the fan is off), and it will turn on when it needs to, and turn on high if it detects extra dirty air, until the air is clean again, then it goes to low mode or off.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

Sorry, you have to push the up or down arrow button to display the set temperature. On the other hand, after your system has operated for a while, the displayed ambient temp. is pretty much the set temp. because of the rather narrow temp. "swing" (even with the maximum "swing" of 1-1/4 degree F).
