Answer This Question

A:  I would say yes it’s sturdy on its base.. keep in mind it is upright and tall. If it fell on ur pet or if u touched the front of it it is hot... not burn u hot but hot. Mine never shuts off on highest heat setting so I believe I have felt it as hot as it could get. I’ve never knocked it over neither has my dog and it’s in a smaller space

          A:  I have had this unit for a few years now, and two cats. Have never had an issue. I would imagine an over rambunctious dog would knock it over with a swing of it's tail. Although it does immediately shut off if it's overturned.

            Answer This Question

            A:  You don't install it. You just plug it in and choose the temp. I don't know about a fan, but one of the Reviews said it did.

            by|Feb 6, 2021

            A:  The heater has a fan that blows the warm air, but it does not have a “fan” for cooling a room because it’s a heater.

            Q:Always having space heaters blowing circuit breakers What type heater shouldbb be I get
            by|Jan 23, 2021
            5 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  This is the only space heater I'm using and I only have it on when I'm working at my kitchen table. I've never had it on for more than 2 hours at a time. I've never had a circuit breaker blow but then I'm not using any other appliances that draw a lot of energy at the same time.

              A:  First of all you might have much more going on than a space heater problem. Sounds a lot like an electrical problem and I'd hate to give advice that could cause a house fire. First you should call an electrician and the possible quickest answer would be your circuit breaker is just too low for your use depending on what else is running off it. Second, you might have to choose a heater without a fan. The fan draws extra amps. Also, the heater could be old and defective and you need a newer UL listed one. My first thing is get someone in the house that knows about home wiring before doing much more. If yore setting off your circuit breaker on a small 115v space heater than you might have a whole lot going on else where or need to move something off the breaker or add a dedicated breaker for a single purpose.

              A:  I have three Lasko Towers, in various sizes.....and each is great in their respective areas. You mention blowing fuses, sounds like you could have overloaded your circuit or possibly a wiring problem. The Lasko is a super space heater.

              A:  Look at the wattage, this is 1500 watts, which is typical of a good space heater. My advice: take a look at your circuit breaker and figure out what else is connected to the outlet you plug your heater into. Don’t try to use other stuff like a microwave, dishwasher, tv, etc at the same time. It’ll overload your breaker.

                  A:  No, it doesn't come with batteries. It uses 2 AAA batteries, most people have them around the house. Worse case go to Dollar General and you can get a big pack for a couple of dollars. You don't have to use the remote to operate the heater. I rarely use the remote.

                          A:  This heater is approved for indoor use only. Don’t ever use a electrical device for outdoor use unless it says it is approved for it or it has the potential to NOT get wet.

                            A:  Yes, of course. Just plug it in. It has high heat out put, so if you place it under the table, it might contain heat even better. Lot’s of level variations.

                              A:  For safety reasons, this should not be used in damp or wet conditions. I believe the enclosed instructions will strongly advise against it. Plus, if used outdoors, I would think the heat would quickly be lost in the open air.
