The Lasko is a good heater; however, I it takes a very long time to heat an entire room even with baseboard heat flowing. I keep the heater blowing directly onto me about 2ft away. You probably should not do this but, that is how I stay warm. I keep it blowing for about 10 minutes then I will shut it down. in 10 minutes turn it back on. If I had to do this purchase over I would go for something more efficient in heating a larger area. Overall I do not hate the product.
