Lasko Oscillating Designer Ceramic Tower Space Heater for Home with Adjustable Thermostat, Timer and Remote Control, 16 Inches, 1500W, 6435

I purchased my Lasko 6435 heater about 2 years ago to provide heat to a 12′ x 14′ room that I spend quite a bit of time in. It also allows me to lower the overall heat of the house but keep this room at 70 degrees in the winter time which is about 6 months long where I live.My objectives when I purchased it were to provide a cost effective method for heating this room which would be pretty much balanced out by lowering my house thermostat by a few degrees. Thus effectively getting comfortable living just for the minimal cost of the heater and no to very little extra cost in my energy bill. Since I am on a pretty fixed budget I thought this would be a good investment to make.Results :I use the Lasko on High with a setting of 70 degrees and it is on 24 x 7 in the winter. For temperature control with 70 degrees set I find the temp runs between 72 – 68 degrees. Thus it turns on at 68 and runs until the room is 72 degrees. It takes between 10 – 15 minutes for each cycle. Thus on a daily basis it runs about 4 – 6 hours a day. It is rated at 1500 watts for high but I believe based on what I did in research that that high rating is closer to 1300 watts.Energy Analysis -Given that it runs 4 – 6 hours per day at 1300 watts my costs per month are approximately as follows. 6 – 9kw’s per day x 30 days or 180 – 270 kw’s per month. My energy cost is about .11 per kw + .02 for distribution or .13 per kw. So based on this my monthly cost runs between – $23.40 to $35.10 or so about a $1 a day.Recommendation -This product runs quiet and in my opinion very efficiently. It meets the needs that I purchased the Lasko for and have had no service problems at all with the unit. I feel good using this method to use the same amount of power but be more comfortable.Pros -* Energy Efficient ( note this is for radiant heat for a small space as a supplement to an HVAC system )* Quiet and I really like the oscillator function .. I think it is effective in heating the area* Looks much nicer than a typical space heaterCons -* I really don’t think I needed to pay for the remote – I never use it but for some it may be niceI hope this review is helpful .. if it is please let me know.

Decorative Art or Heater…BOTH!
This review can also apply to the 6410 model which, according to Lasko Products, only differs in color.Who would have thought you could have made a functional, inexpensive, thermostatically-controlled, heater, attractive? Well Lasko must have, because they’ve done it. I purchased this heater for my mother who lives in our finished basement (I don’t want anyone thinking I have my mom living in an “unfinished” basement, under the stairs, or anything like that). The oscillating feature is nicely integrated in the design as it pivots along the top band of the metal support structure. It has a bright, red, LED that shines through the bottom of the heating grill so you can easily see that the unit is on. It puts out a good amount of heat and is every bit as effective as the DeLonghi units I own in other parts of my house. So, overall, I’m happy with it. Let me lay out the Pros and Cons for you.Pros:- Attractive crackle surface along the skin of the unit.- Heavy base provides sturdy support to keep the unit from tipping.- Nice size makes it easily unobtrusive.- Very quiet.- Ready to use right out of the box.Cons:- Remote is a bit difficult use. It has icons only which are rubber-lifted and all black. They are a bit difficult to see unless you tilt the remote in the light to get contrast from the raised surface.- Thermostat is restricted to five-degree increments. My other DeLonghi units allow full-degree adjustment.- No tip-turn-off feature if you tend to get a bit rowdy in your heated room.We have only had the unit for about a week. As time goes by, I will provide any additional information that I feel is relevant to this review. I certainly recommend this product. If this review was helpful to you, please say so. Thanks!UPDATE: I just got off the phone with LaskoProducts who told me that this particular heater does not have a tip shut-off feature. They told me that if the unit were to tip, it would most likely overheat and then the thermal protection would kick in. I don’t think I would want to count on the thermal overload protection to protect from a tip-over. If I just HAD to have this heater, I would probably just strap one of the bracket legs to a stationary object or clamp it to the floor. It’s pretty stable but it’s certainly not “untippable.”I wanted to see how the heater would respond if it tipped over so I tipped it, last night. It did not turn off. It just laid there like a tipped-over R2-D2, rotating back and forth. I didn’t wait around to see if it would overheat and shut off. I have two other oscillating heaters in my home in my kid’s bedrooms that are made by DeLonghi and they have the tip-over shut-off feature. As a matter of fact, you can’t even pick them up without them shutting off. I bought them a few years ago at Costco but couldn’t find an identical product when I bought the decorative heater from Amazon.com. If tipping is not your concern, this is still a great heater.

Looks good, heats up the space quickly, no weird smells even if it gets dusty, quite enough, working still fine since 2022, does not transiently overload the power supply like my printer does when it turns on., easy to remove dust from. This is by far the best heater I’ve come across.

The heater is small in size, but mighty in producing additional heat. The decorative design is brilliant, as I don’t mind leaving it out. We use the heater in a bedroom during winters to add additional heat. The heater rotates slightly blowing heat through the center grate. The product is made of plastic and seems thick, plus it does not get hot to the touch. Great little additional heater to a homes central heat, fills small dead spots.
