Lasko Reviews

Have Lasko model 5592 tower heater purchase from Sam's Club. Had unit plugged in. Plastic cord burned completely through...caught on fire.

Lasko Tower Heater - The heater almost caught on fire in my home. You can visually see the burn marks on front of Heater. Now here is the result, I continued for 4 days calling the 1-800 number on back of heater Lasko Main Number. Forget it. On hold every time for 30 min resulting in never speaking to anyone. Then a recording "Leave your number and we will return your call" never losing your place in line. That's a joke! Did that 3 times, no return call. Last I sent an email again, no response. Never will I ever by a Lasko product again.

Purchased from Walmart...But before I buy I like to read the valuable reviews. And I found one that would validate what I was trying to do. Which was from a gentleman, whose heater in his Chevy Tahoe died on him (RIP heater, no CPR, OBITUARY, EULOGY)... nothing. So I buy the damn thing (Lasko 100), per Chevy Tahoe Man... Which was: Use with a 400 watt inverter. Plug into cigarette lighter. Plug heater into inverter/converter (whatever) it's called. And WALLA!!! Instant heat. NOPE, NADA, ZILCH!. What I got was: A piercing, high pitch noise, and no heat. WHAT!!! Why Mr. Lasko?. Oh yeah - read small print 'MADE IN CHINA'.

Just turned on my Lasko Heater. Immediately it gave off a chemical smell. I have respiratory problems. Contacted company. Was on the phone for 2 hours on hold. No one ever answered the phone. The product information said do not return to place where you bought the item. Notify the company itself.

They do not call back when leaving messages for products that fail. They suck, suck, suck. Only my opinion could be wrong? Do not support this company! Space heater failure. Less than one year old. Left three messages with no response. Never again. Be aware!

Bought a Lasko heater and 1 day after return possibility with Home Depot unit stopped working. Contacted Customer Service and they got back to me within 2 days and had some tips on how to see if I could get it to work and otherwise I should call them. Called and was on hold for 45 min. Tried again 2 hours later and again on hold for 45 min. Left a message and should get a call back as soon as my number in line came up. I also e-mailed them and got an e-mail back the next day that they would call. Never received the call and I tried again. Again I was on hold for 50 min. and just finally gave up. Do not buy their heaters, not worth the aggravation.

I have two oscillating tower heaters, both of which just dropped dead on me in a year's time! Like most, I don't have my receipts so just stuck with two towers of junk. However, when in working condition, they were awesome. So for short term, if you don't mind wasting $65, then this is the route to go. Maybe there's a fix I haven't found yet??

I plugged my Lasko Ceramic Heater model 5307 into the wall and for a few weeks, it worked just fine. Until one day, I noticed it oscillated slower. So I did the maintenance follow-up on the heater. About a week later, I was using my heater in my bedroom while I worked and in only 5 hours, the plastic case that covers the heater and the oscillation button have melted! And now I cannot make the heater stop oscillating when in use. Do not purchase this product because it also leaves the smell of something burning lingering in your air! I plan to contact Lasko immediately about this, what is done to it or if anything is done at all from the company remains to be seen.

3-month old heater model 5536 does not work. Plug it in a live outlet and it has no power. It just stopped working. I lost the receipt but I filled out form for warranty. I was told that was only for marketing purposes.

Here is the email I sent to Lasko to make them aware of the problem with the space heater. I sent this in early Feb. and have not received a response:

My Lasko model # 5560 ceramic space heater has quit oscillating and the on off switch quit working. I am unable to shut the unit off, except by unplugging it from wall.

I have a Lasko ceramic air space heater model #5560. The plastic case that surrounds the heater has melted. I checked on the web site and this model number is not part of the recall.

I talked to Lasko's Customer Service Department several months ago about repairing my Lasko Model 5700 heater. I was told it was recalled for a dangerous electrical plug problem. I gave them all the information over the phone and also over their internet site. It was supposed to take 3 to 4 weeks for directions how to send the heater back for a replacement. I have since contacted the company again via their internet site and have had no reply.
