Air Logic Bladeless Heater

Lasko is known for making some high-quality space heaters. Ranging from cheap to very expensive, their lineup covers compact under-desk heaters to taller tower-style heaters. Some feature oscillation, others have cyclonic heat penetration or even natural convection heat.

Digital controls and wireless remotes make certain models easy to use and convenient, while other units opt for simple knob-style controls that save money with their simplicity.

Lasko 755320 Ceramic Space Heater

Equipped with a digital thermostat and controls, the Lasko 755320 tower heater allows you to dial in your preferred temperature to the exact degree. To make it even more convenient, a wireless remote control is also included. More than just convenient, we think this remote solves our only complaint about this heater: the loose and flimsy feeling buttons. With the remote, the buttons become a backup so they’re not as important.

We like the tower-style design of this heater because of its elongated ceramic element. This allows for more even and speedy heat distribution. It’s not the cheapest Lasko space heater we tested, but in our eyes, it was the best performing. It’s also available in three different colors to fit your personal taste: grey, silver, and black. With the cutout in the back of the heater, you can easily transport it from room to room without worrying about getting burned, another feature that helps propel this heater to the top of our list.

PROS

Elongated ceramic element evenly distributes heat
Digital thermostat and controls
Wireless remote control

CONS

The buttons feel loose

Lasko Ceramic Under-Desk Heater

To fit under your desk, a heater will need to pretty compact. At just 9 inches in height, the Lasko CD09250 under-desk ceramic heater certainly fits the bill. Being so small, it’s easily portable, and the carrying handle helps you avoid burns when moving it. The cool-touch exterior means that you won’t burn yourself if you accidentally kick it or touch it while it’s running. Important safety features like overheat protection are also included, though it’s missing the tip-over shutoff switch on the bottom—a feature we’ve come to expect on most space heaters.

The thermostat knob works well, but it’s a simple design that won’t allow for precise temperature settings. That said, we were surprised at just how much heat this little device could produce. With 1,500 watts of power, it can easily hang with larger, more expensive space heaters, but this one is very affordable for any budget. Altogether, we think the stellar performance, low price, and compact size add up to the best Lasko space heater for the money.

PROS

Compact, just 9” tall
Carrying handle for portability
Affordable heating

CONS

No tip-over shutoff button

Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater – Premium Choice

Many heaters feature oscillation to evenly distribute the heat throughout a room, but the Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater takes it even further by using cyclonic heat penetration. This provides instant comfort and spreads the heat throughout the entire space quickly and efficiently. We were very satisfied with the cyclonic performance and would like to see it make its way to more heater models. However, it does increase the cost of this device, making it one of the more expensive models we tested.

With digital controls, you can easily set this heater to an exact temperature. Then if you need to adjust it, you can use the remote control without leaving the comfort of your couch. This heater is a bit larger than most of the others we’ve tried, but it’s also very thin and takes up surprisingly little space when you push it up against a wall, which is what it’s designed for. Thankfully, the cool touch housing won’t get hot, so it will never be a fire hazard, especially with the included safety features like automatic overheat protection.

PROS

Cyclonic circulation for even heat disbursement
Cool-touch housing doesn’t get hot
Digital controls
Thin design can be pushed up against a wall
Remote control

CONS

One of the more expensive heaters

Lasko Ceramic Portable Space Heater

With a heating coverage of 300 square feet, the Lasko 5409 portable space heater packs quite a punch for its small size. A carrying handle arches over the top of the controls so you never burn yourself, and it makes this heater stand about 12 inches high. There are smaller options from Lasko, so if compact size is your number one concern, then you may wish to go for a different model instead. It has cool-touch housing so you won’t get burned if you touch it. But we were disappointed to see that there is no tip-over shutoff protection.

For what it is, we expected this heater to be one of the cheaper options, but it was more expensive than similar models with the same features. Worse, the fan in this unit is much louder than we would like. You can hear it from the next room, and we prefer a near-silent heater that doesn’t draw quite as much attention to itself. Overall, it’s a decent little heater, but we think it’s overpriced and outperformed by less expensive models.

PROS

Compact design
Easy carry handle

CONS

Overpriced for what it is
Louder than expected

Lasko Air Logic Bladeless Heater

The first thing you’ll notice about the Lasko AW300 Air Logic Bladeless Heater is its very unique appearance. It’s a sleek tower design that looks original and interesting. But we’re much more concerned with how it performs. It does get very hot, but unfortunately so does the exterior. If you touch it, you could get burned, and we worry about having anything in its vicinity. The airflow also isn’t very strong, so the heat doesn’t get distributed throughout the room as we’d like. That said, it’s also very quiet.

One feature we liked was the digital touch controls on the face of the heater. They let you easily dial in your perfect temperature and they also look stylish. You’re paying quite a bit for the looks and the touch controls with this unit. The performance wasn’t up to par but the cost places it firmly at the high end of the price range. In the end, we suggest going with something that has better heating abilities, unless you really love the aesthetics of this heater.

PROS

Quiet operation
Digital touch controls

CONS

Expensive
Gets very hot and can easily burn skin
Airflow was not very strong

You’ve read our reviews comparing 10 of our favorites, but three of them outshined the rest and have earned our recommendations. The Lasko 755320 ceramic space heater was the best overall in our collective opinion. It evenly distributed heat throughout any space quickly and efficiently. Plus, it had an easy to use digital thermostat and even included a wireless remote.

We think the Lasko CD09250 Under-Desk Heater provided the best value in a very portable package. It’s just 9 inches tall, but it packs 1,500 watts of heating power at a very affordable price. Sitting in third place, our premium choice recommendation is the Lasko 760000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater. Its space-saving design can be pushed up against a wall so it’s out of the way. Digital controls make it easy to program and the cyclonic circulation made for even heat distribution throughout any room.
