This little heater is perfect if you need a little extra warmth at your desk. It's practically silent, which is a huge plus for hiding heaters that are against company rules. So long as you keep it within a few feet, you'll get plenty of heat to take the chill of a cold office. It will not heat up your whole cube or office, so you won't hear complaints from those weirdos who are hot all the time. And so what? Who wants to share their precious heat with those jerks anyway? Since it's low wattage, there's less of a chance of blowing out a block of breakers in your crappily wired office building. Stay toasty, my friends!

I purchased my Lasko 100 MyHeat Personal Space Heater sometime in March of 2016 because my crew and I had "the back" makeshift offices built in haste as the company had grown. The area was formally a storage facility in which our cheap ass boss threw in some cubicles and voilà, there's your damned office! The owner wanted no one in the building to use space heaters because they ran up the bill and tripped the circuit breaker which was not built to handle multiple computers, laser printers, fax machines, and phone lines. Any time an employee snuck a space heater into their cubicle and turned it on within a few minutes the breaker would give off a loud alarm as everything went suddenly black. I was determined to find a solution. I didn't know that you could purchase heaters with such low load. I had always purchased heaters for my home which were higher wattage products. At the time, it seemed like a lot of money for such a small heater. At this price I would usually purchase a regular one at Walmart but now I had wattage issues and my fingers were turning blue at the computer... I bought it. When I turned it on (I was nervous, of course) I held my hands up to the vents and kinda giggled. Then I could feel the warmth on my face. But my feet were getting no benefit so I placed the heater on the floor under my desk. I felt the heat up to my legs but my hands were cold again. I know that heat rises so I found a position for the heater about 1 - 2 feet from the floor and pointed it toward my body. I wore warm footwear and since my core temperature was now warmer the rest of my body and appendages were fine. The moral of the story is that this is a FANTASTIC 200W heater and it's not going to slip out of the time space continuum and outperform a 1500W unit. My personal experience has been...1. It lasts - it has undergone 3 years of constant use. I even use it in my 10x14 bedroom at home.2. I feel comfortable heat around it - within a decent 3 to 4 foot radius.3. It's incredibly discrete. Actually some of my coworkers felt the heat from my area but couldn't figure out why.4. It won't overload your circuit (unless you live on "Little House on the Prairie").5. It's quiet but not so quiet where you couldn't hear it while listening for it in a dark soundless room.Would I buy it again? Yes! If the quality control standards are as they were 3 years ago. But alas, as many of us veteran Amazonians know even this changes with time. My best advice would be to heed the SENSIBLE newer positive reviews you see regarding this space heater. It really is a fantastic little heater and it's treated me right for 3 years now.Cheers!

So far I've only owned this for a few hours, but I'm so in love that I have to review this! First, this is whisper quiet! I bought this heater to replace my Holmes space heater because it was too loud. Loud is a relative term. I work in a quiet office. When the Holmes space heater is on, I have to turn up my music and then it gets loud in the office. With this new Lasko heater, I can keep my music on low and still get toasty warm!It takes a few minutes for the Lasko to warm up the space versus my Holmes heater which was almost instant warm. But I'm talking approximately 5 minutes to warm up the space. This really is super quiet. Have you ever been so close to your computer tower that you can hear the CD spin in the drive or the fan running to cool the computer? That's about the same noise level as the Lasko. It's embarrassing how much I've in love with a space heater!(Don't mind the scuffs, I already hit it against the wall)

Love, love this little heater!! I bought two of these for spot heating in my RV, and they are perfect. I use one in the bathroom that has no heat source and also to keep our tiny RV bedroom at just the right temp. And, they are only 200 watts so I can run them without throwing our breaker. There’s only one setting, so no control over temp, etc., but it isn’t designed for anything fancy, just a fair amount of heat exactly where you need it! Just recently I ran one next to me while sitting on the couch and it warmed me instantly. What more can I say...this is great.

I bought this to use as a heater in my pop-up greenhouse when my tomato seeds germinated and grew (under my collection of table lamps with fluorescent bulbs) into healthy young plants and then, after transplanting into bigger containers, needed to be moved to my little greenhouse. However, the greenhouse is unheated and the weather now varies from warmish days to low 40s nights, so the plants get adequate light but not decent temperatures.I chose this little device because it's so low-powered. It provides enough heat to keep the interior of the greenhouse in the mid 50s to low 70s , which is fine. Most days I leave the greenhouse unzipped and totally open (heater off) and then when the evening comes I turn the heater on, keeping it at the bottom of the greenhouse with the plants nearer the top, zip the greenhouse closed and leave it til morning.I have struggled with growing my vegetables from seed for years since we moved from a house with a perfectgreenhouse-like utility room. I think I finally have the right combo--so far so good anyway.
