Lasko MyHeat Personal Space Heater, Compact, Black

I have a 500 watt Amazon brand personal heater that worked well for about a year, slowly starting to produce less hot air. So thought I’d try a few other little heaters as I phase out that heater. Wow, this is amazing for only 200 watts. Super warming for my tiny bedroom. The air is hot, doesn’t blow far, but with windows closed, it heats my tiny bedroom up nicely. Definitely happy to have this especially since it uses little energy and is a powerhouse with that regard. I don’t have to worry about blowing a fuse when I’m running other machines in the house. I can leave this on. I wish it had a tip over safety feature. In addition to safety features such as auto shut down when over heated and ceramic exterior that stays cool (great feature). An auto shut off when tipped over would give me more assurance to use it in other rooms where dogs or kid might tip over accidentally. It’s super quiet. Still has a sound of course. It’s a low decibel soothing hum. Perfect white noise for sleeping. Great for the office too. Friend put just enough to reduce background distraction noise, but is quiet enough that you can still hear if someone calls out to you. I’m one of those people who has a little space heater under my desk to keep my legs and feet warm. Which is odd when the top half is still chilly. So this is great on the desk. Takes little space, is efficient and energy saving. This also travels well! Super compact. I could even put this in my work backpack. Or a carryon.

My office at work has several issues in the winter months. First, it has a large area of windows that get the late afternoon sun such that my office is freezing in the morning and too warm in the afternoon. I am more concerned about the freezing part! I had a 1500 watt heater in the office, however, when plugged in, if other adjoining offices are using heaters, it causes the circuit breakers to trip and cuts power off to several offices. Not to complain, however, the majority of offices around mine are occupied by women that are "freezing cold" all of the time (Temperature, not personality - well most!) Thus, they always have their heaters running and I just put on a jacket and shiver until the afternoon. My office is about 12' x 14' with 9' ceiling. I have full windows from floor to ceiling along one 12' wall. Heat is forced Hot air from the ceiling that should really be called Forced Cold air as it does not blow any hot air in the winter so I get a chilly breeze! Now to this heater. I was searching for a small heater that I could plug in and get some heat without causing the circuit breakers to trip. The heater arrived in a very small box (surprisingly small) and was well packed. Our building engineer asked me what is in my package and chuckled when I told him it was a heater for my office as the box was so small! Anyway, the heater was unpacked, I placed it on my desk, plugged it in, and turned it on expecting the breakers to trip and no heat as it is so small. The circuit breakers did not trip and to my surprise, the heater put out quite a bit of heat. It is very small, and very quiet. It is not fancy, does not have heat settings, just an on-off switch and safety shutoff should it get to hot. I have tried it on my desk, on the floor, and different spots but like it best on my desk and it makes where I sit very comfortable. Please know, this does not heat up my entire office as the bigger heater did. It does, however, make it very comfortable for me to work as I am no longer shivering in the morning. I had to show this to our building engineer and he was very impressed with it, so much so that he is sending other people in our building to my office to observe the heater in action. All have been impressed. Would I buy this product again, definitely. I am very pleased with my purchase. Great Product. If they made a mini-air conditioning unit for the summer, I would buy that too! Reviewed by G. Swanson Update - I have been using this product for several weeks now and am still very impressed and pleased. I find that my favorite place to use it is sitting on my desk off to the left side. It provides a nice, gentle, warm stream of air and it is very quiet. My work phone is within a foot and I have no issues using the phone while the heater is running. The electrical breakers have not tripped once either. On the funny side, I did have someone ask if it has a dial to control the heat (i.e, high, low). My response is if it gets too hot, move it away; if you are cold, move it closer! Very Simple! This is definitely one of the best purchases I have made for my office. Updated by G. Swanson

This little heater almost puts off enough heat for a five-star rating, but not quite. However, I still recommend it. I bought this for my office. I work in a cubicle setting and wanted something small, discreet, and functional. Other space heaters are either too large, too loud, or too hot for my space. After reading the good and bad reviews on this unit, I decided to give it a try. It was cheap enough that if it turned out to be a bust, I wouldn't feel too bad. When it arrived, I was amazed by its size. I read the measurements online, but it was still surprising to receive such a tiny heater. Not that this was a bad thing; quite the opposite, actually. This would be perfect to store in my desk drawer and pull out when I needed it. I took it to work and set it up under my desk near my feet. When I turned it on, I was doubly amazed by its sheer quietness. It gives off a very quiet hum. Much quieter than a small desk fan, and quieter than any space heater I've ever heard. That was also a very good thing. The heater I had here before, although effective, sounded like a turbine engine in this quiet office. So this was a nice change. There are no heat settings, just the power switch, so you can't adjust anything. Not that you'd need to. This little guy puts off *just enough* heat to keep your feet from freezing. It doesn't exactly warm you up, but it does take a little of that cold snap off. I have it positioned very close to my feet to try to get as much of that warmth as possible. I haven't had this unit for too long and have read several reviews on its lifespan, and am worried about when mine will eventually crap out. But for the price, and for my needs, I don't think I'd hesitate to buy this again if/when that does happen. I would still prefer something that heat a little more, but for the price, the size, and the noise level, this one is pretty hard to beat. If you need anything more than just your feet or hands warmed, this product is definitely not for you. If you want a heater that covers more body surface or heats more space, again, this heater is not for you. But if you want something discreet and quiet, or something that will keep your toes or fingers (not at the same time, of course) just toasty enough, then I definitely recommend this. **UPDATE** I've now owned this product for about three months and have used it nearly every workday and so I thought I'd update this review. I am very satisfied with this product. So far it has lasted my continued daily use with no problems. It's now officially cold out and coming into my office and turning this little guy on has been a real treat on my feet. It's just as quiet as it was the day I bought it and if positioned just right, it warms up my feet and calves nicely. This heater is absolutely perfect for my cubicle space, and even though it seems to be holding up perfectly in regards to lifespan (knock on wood), if it does crap out on me (which would be understandable, because again, it's so tiny and I do use it A LOT), I have no qualms on purchasing another one.

Es ideal para cuando estas trabajando en tu escritorio, obviamente por su tamaño no va a calentar un cuarto, pero si calienta la zona a donde le apuntes. Los materiales son de excelente calidad, fue lo que mas me gusto, he tenido varios que se sienten como si fueran de carton. Aparte es muy silencioso, muy buen producto en general.

Hace 6 años compre dos piezas, siguen tan funcionales como al principio, mi habitación es aproximadamente de 5x5 y muy bien los dos para templar toda la habitacion. Uso los dos, lado izquierdo y lado derecho de la habitación, si hace mas frio, los acerco un poco mas a mí, pero en general los dejo encendidos toda la noche en tiempo de frio, no hacen ruido , no consumen mucha energía y me mantienen templada la habitación, adecuada a mis necesidades. El mantenimiento que les doy, únicamente es con pistola de aire quitarle las pelusas que se le van adhiriendo y listo. como nuevos. Lasko Myheat Personal Calentador de Cerámica

Actualización a casi un año de haberlo comprado: el ventilador que ayudaba a dispersar el calor se ha descompuesto así que el calor solo se queda en una sola area, tendré que repararlo o desecharlo. Qué lástima! —————————————— Por las calificaciones que leí pensé que iba a calentar mi habitación muy rápido, pero no, tuve que encontrar un punto en mi habitación para que echara el calor y que no se filtrara por el vidrio de la ventana, hay que darle tiempo, alrededor de una hora; el aire caliente lo avienta inclinado hacia arriba, no se si sea la funcionalidad real o error de fábrica, pero lo puse en una mesa baja en la esquina de mi habitación a la altura de las rodillas para que aventara el aire en medio. Pero ya empezando a calentar se siente muy confortable. No es una ráfaga de aire caliente, sino que es un viento muy ligero que no molesta. Si me gustó por el precio que pagué, muy práctico, bonito y discreto.

Es compacto, así que es perfecto para usarlo en la oficina. No hace nada de ruido y calienta muy rápido, sin llegar a ser alarmante (que piense que se va a quemar o algo parecido). Me ha ayudado mucho a superar el frío de Santa Fe. Lo recomiendo completamente.

Hola tiene un año que lo compre solo lo he utilizado poco ya que la oficina que tenía el año pasado en estas épocas era realmente fría y por eso lo compre la vdd es que tiene muy baja potencia literal es semejante a un ventilador de USB que ponemos para el calor es decir te acercas y te quita el calor en ese momento igual con este yo lo tenía que poner literal enfrente mis piernas para sentir el calorcito pero hasta ahí olvídate que vaya a calentar una habitación lo intente en este año lo deje prendido una hr con la habitación pequeña cerrada y fue apenas perceptible si lo que buscas es literal un ventilador caliente personal está bien pero si no invierte en uno un poco más potente y grande ya que me costó 510 no fue tan barato y creo por poco más hubiera encontrado uno un poco más potente
