Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower 755320 Review

Room Heating

This is a tower unit, and the fan wasn't all that powerful, so the Lasko didn't do a particularly swift job at heating up the test room. Our eight sensors even went down in temperature for a while before beginning to heat up throughout our hour-long test.

By the end, we found that the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower's weaker fan barely did the job of heating anything substantial. We finally did some fine-tuning to the Lasko's settings after feeling somewhat disheartened by the results.

After moving into a smaller office room for real-life tests, we turned on the Lasko Tower's oscillating function and were delightfully surprised to discover that this once-weak heater became much more efficient and functional at spreading air into corners, increasing its effectiveness and practicality for heating a small room. It also has a remote that tucks onto the back of the heater, and we again found this feature useful.

We set the room temperature and timer in hopes of transforming our small test space into a tropical island. The Lasko finally did well in our smaller office rooms, paired with the previous oscillating mode — we found a very happy environment when it came to evenly moving warm air throughout a moderate amount of space.

Direct Heat

To observe how each heater produces direct heat, we set up a thermal camera and heat sensors, noting the spread of warm air during the five-minute test period.

After running the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower for five minutes, noting that the far left and right sensors only rose by 5.4 and 0.9 degrees, meaning that the width spread of this heater's hot air is quite small; however, that doesn't particularly mean it wasn't efficient at providing direct heat.

The Lasko effectively blew the hot air 3.5 feet out of the grille thanks to its taller stature. When we sat directly next to the unit, we found it to have some hotspots, but that was easily solved by turning the settings down and oscillating the mode. After tweaking the settings, the Lasko flooded a beautiful blanket of warm air over us as long as it wasn't turned on high mode, and when we wanted more direct intensity, the Lasko did reasonably well because of its very direct spread.

However, this might not be the best option for someone who doesn't do well with extremely hot air. This heater produces an intense amount of hot air, and that can come with some concerns when it comes to safety, despite not making any hotspots on the floor during our perpendicular thermal sheet heat test.

Unfortunately, the Lasko does not come with tip-over protection, which was somewhat surprising. That being said, when we tested for shutoff capabilities and dropped a sheet over the Lasko, we were impressed to find that it turned off after only 12 seconds, giving us a bit more confidence in the unit.

Consistent Warmth

One of the primary features that can contribute to this metric is oscillating mode, and fortunately for our tester's warmth, the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower utilizes this feature to the utmost, whereas many other space heaters do not.

The Lasko's consistent warmth score was better than the average score for this metric. In terms of some features that add to overall comfort, we love being able to set the room temperature on either the remote or the digital display on top. We were thoroughly impressed by its large spread, and this heater succeeded in flowing warm waves of air over our bodies.

The only downside we found regarding the Lasko Tower's consistent heating capabilities is that it doesn't have a fan-only option. When things began to warm up in our offices during spring afternoons, we found that the heater, even on low, was too hot. Despite the lack of a fan feature, we would recommend the Lasko to anyone in need of a highly customizable tower unit with a wide air spread and favorable, consistent warmth scores.

Sound

We found that the Lasko Tower scored above our average with a 6.5. After running the heater for days and listening for any gleaming squeaks, squeals, whirs, or irritating sounds, we were unable to detect any downfalls that could negatively impact the Lasko's score. The small fan has a stereotypical hum, which was more muted compared to other units we tested.

After passing our irritation test, we turned to our professional sound meter to understand how much sound was actually coming from the heater — this model emits a peaceful 42.5 decibels. We'd recommend this space heater to anyone who can't stand any loud noises or sounds that can sometimes be associated with such products. The Lasko did a great job at providing heat with plenty of silence to keep your sleeping baby snoozing away.

Should You Buy the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower 755320?

If you specifically enjoy a tower-style space heater that can cover a wide spread of space with stellar, consistent heat, then the Lasko Ceramic Digital Tower is worth solid consideration. Its quiet fan, carrying handle, digital display, and remote add a level of luxury to a heater that is able to slowly heat most small and medium rooms during the day. We would particularly recommend this heater to someone with a small office, a corner room, or a smaller living room that needs consistent heat.
