For these reasons we are recommending a portable room heater with fan that is very quiet. The has several other features we admire. The heating element is well protected inside the heater housing making it one of the few forced air convection heaters we recommend for use in households with children. The upright design and the low surface temperatures allow the unit to be places out of the way against a wall, and the footprint is small compared to the typical oil filled heaters. This video demo of the at the top right of this page will give you a a more complete picture of the size and features of the unit.

There are two model variations of this heater. The Lasco 75800 has an adjustable thermostat, 2 power heating settings of 750 and 1500 watts, while the version listed as the cyclonic ceramic room heater comes with a remote control. Personally I find the remote control unnecessary (too many remotes to keep tract of already), but many do like the convenience of a remote, and it only adds $5 to the cost. I can see the remote could be desirable in a bedroom as there would be no need to get out of bed to make adjustments or turn the heater on or off.

We feel that the Lasco 75800 is a versatile heater in that one of the major drawbacks of fan heaters (noise) is addressed. However many still will be bothered by the tendency of this heater to dry out the air in the room. The two primary advantages we see to the heater over the passive convection heater such as the Delonghi oil filled heater are the smaller footprint and the ability to generate heat instantly. We still promote oil filled heaters for as being the best space heaters for general room heat throughout the day or for extended periods.

This ceramic heater with remote control is one of the best selling heaters on Amazon. Currently it has received 78 reviews, with an average rating of just over 4 out of a possible 5. In addition to the convenience of the remote, owners mention the quiet fan and the fact that the unit itself does not become hot to the touch, making it safe with children. Criticisms were minor in nature, but some of the negative comments included a minimum thermostat setting of 60 degrees (would have preferred a lower option), and that the cord becomes warm (but not alarmingly hot) with extended use.
