Lasko Portable Electric Ceramic Space Heater with ALCI Plug for Bathroom Use, 2 Heat Settings and Simple Heat Button, 8 Inches, White, 1500W, CD08200

Even with some negative responses and product failures reported, I still decided to purchase this heater due to its overwhelmingly positive reviews and popularity based on the number of units sold. Now, after using it for over a year without any problems, it has proven its value to me in cost, performance and reliability.This Lasko CD08200 Small Portable Ceramic Space Heater was a replacement for an older heater of a similar type and power rating that had simply lost its heating effectiveness after decades of use. It is always cold in my 6 ft. x 9 ft. basement bathroom, requiring some fortitude when stepping out of the shower. Hence a heater had become a necessary appliance there. Ceramic heaters produce plenty of heat for their size and are a great choice for bathrooms, making this unit appropriate for that purpose. I typically operate the heater for about 30 minutes per day, mainly during the cooler weather months. But even in summer, the heater will eliminate the chill of air conditioning which makes the basement bathroom quite cool then, as well.I found the information provided here by the manufacturer to be comprehensive and accurately describes the product and its usage in every detail. Links to important safety documents and instructions for use (in PDF format) are also included.To summarize, the Lasko CD08200 heater is a small, but effective 1500-watt personal heater with a simple one-button control, making it very easy to use. It heats very well, particularly in relatively small spaces, like bathrooms.

We absolutely love this heater. I should say that our bathroom is somewhat on the small side, but it's definitely far better than any others we've used. It starts putting out a lot of heat the moment it's turned on. The foot print is small and because it's shaped like a small cube, it can't be knocked over like the standard skinny tall ones. Because of this it doesn't need (or have) an automatic shut off switch on the bottom -- a small short cube can't fall over. I like the simple and very large diameter push switch on the top, no small knobs or switches to fiddle with. Tapping it gives you On, On for an hour and Off. I wish it also had a straight no heat fan option, but it doesn't, however, I'm quite happy with it anyway. There is no handle to pick it up with, but since the front is the only surface that gets hot (and quckly cools off when heater is turned off) it's quite easy to just pick it up by squeezing the two sides between the palms of your hands. Takes up little space, performs very well, high quality cord with circuit breaker plug and much nicer looking than most.

Compact size,quiet,simple to use,3 settings has a1hr timer on high,high and a low.Warm air circulates well.Placed it on the granite sink counter for when getting out of shower to dry and dress.Then store it in linen closet.Meets my needs perfectly..So glad to find this particular heater.

We have 4 Lasko products in our home, and have found them to be very reliable, so although there are cheaper heaters out there, I was confidant in this purchase. It's very nice to quick-warm a bathroom in the morning when the house thermostat has been low all night. It's quiet, heats up quickly, and has a thoughtful 1-hour on high timer. The cat, in particular, loves it - nuzzling it hopefully when it's off.Pros: It's a solidly built good unit that does its job. Meets expectations and is an attractive ivory cube that takes up little space.Cons: (3 grumpy items - no deal breakers)(1) Unless you have the hands of Rachmaninov (or...Shaq, for you sports fans), you'll have trouble picking this up with less than 2 hands. A cube this weighty and smooth should absolutely have either an inset handle or a bucket-like (possibly silicone) handle to maneuver it quickly.(2) The large round top button/switch is really nice! It makes a substantial click when you toggle between high-1 hour, high, and low. There's also a small inoffensive orange light that is always on when the heater is plugged in, and shows which power you're on. So you have a tactile and visual representation that you are turning the heater on - why would it need a *ridiculously* loud beep whenever you push it. Beep! Beep! Beep! The heater is on low! - now why are the dogs barking?(3) While a lawful warning sticker is normal for something easily misused....in this case, the Do Not Remove!!! sticker is fixed on the cord near the plug, and is Huge. More warnings than an aspirin bottle, English and Spanish. It might be.... 5x7" and made of stiff, wrinkled, rattley and curiously waterproof paper. Now, you might think I bet they removed it, but no! wrapping it around the cord and securing it with a piece of medical wrap at least streamlined it a bit. Experience teaches that if you remove those things, you're left with a sticky cord anyway.TL;DR It's nice. If you need one, watch for a sale, buy it. You'll never be sorry you have a little heater on hand - just don't ignore the warnings!
