Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This heater works perfectly. Some of the other reviews on here mention specific negatives, and I suggest that those people read the fine manual. For example: Comment: "The Thermometer is inaccurate by a few degrees in most." Correct. If you read the instruction manual, it states that the heater will heat two degrees above the thermostat setting, then switching off. It will switch on again when the temperature falls one degree below the thermostat setting. This is actually how most thermostats work. Comment: "The power cable is thinner than what other leading safe room heaters have." I am not sure what this means. A power cable's gauge (thickness) will be proportional to the current (amperage) by which it is engineered to draw. The thickness of the copper wiring does not correspond to safety, and would only become a safety issue if the thickness of the wire were not rated for the current of which the appliance draws. I would hope to assume that the engineers at Lasko are well aware of the very established standards for wire gauge versus current drawn, and without wasting my time analyzing the gauge of wire and the appliance's current, I'm going to assume that it's more than adequate. Comment: "this tower fan will not heat a large room effectively." Correct. The appliance is rated for medium sized rooms, as stated on the packaging. Comment (paraphrased): "The thermostat (auto-temperature) only works on high." This is incorrect. Please read the manual. Switching from high to low is also the mechanism by which you disengage the thermostat. If you switch from high to low, or from low to high, then you simply need to push the (+) or (-) thermostat buttons to re-engage the thermostat. The thermostat functions on both high and low. Conclusion: This heating appliances works great, and it functions in accordance with the manual. A recommended purchase.
