Question: Anyone track their electric bill after using this?  Did it go up or down???
Document: The unit heats well but my electric bill skyrocketed once I started using it. You will not save on your utilities. The electrical cost of operating it outweighs what you're saving on gas.
We've started using these (we bought two) in Nov '12 and so far we love them. After first full month of using the electric bill was $100 lower than last year for the same month. Next month the savings were even higher! For the whole winter we expect to save about $400!
I love this little heater. Heat the whole room in no time, so far no problem with it. I would recommend it if you want to save $$$ on the electric bill.
A standing electric fan makes more noise than this. It makes a soft subtle white noise which is barely noticeable.I am from hotter climes but now in New England and I get cold really easily. My apartment's thermostat cannot go above 72 degrees which is of no use to me. With the Lasko heater on, the room gets to a comfortable 76-78 degrees which I am happy with.
Exudes good heat but only in a smaller area but thats fine because thats what I needed although I'm sure if I left it on for a longer period of time it would heat up the room but just want to save money on the electric bill. With that said, this space heater surpsingly does not cost very much at all an hour to run. I plan to buy another one this winter since I bought 2 but gave 1 to my Mom recently. Anyway, bravo Lasko, love this heater!
consumes a hale lot of electricity,power bill shootup by using this not product should be improved in terms of consumption of power
Our heat went out and this heater is working its ass off.we bought it from WalMart and have been using it for 3 weeks now. We love it and would recommend it to anyone. Heats small or medium room well,and we live in a old historic home with wood floors. Great product!
My recent order of another Lasko Tower heater was not available. Decided to give this heater a try although it did not come with a remote or digital temp setting. We keep this one in our downstairs living room and it keeps the room nice and comfortably warm.Getting the first heater lowered our what we call our cold winter months heating bill that averages $200 per month. We are now down to $128.00 per month.Currently we are not using our radiant ceiling heat or heat pump.
I use my garage as a workout space, and during the winter it can get pretty cold in there. Rather than bundling up for my workouts, I decided to give this a try. It works well if I leave it on for about 10-15 minutes before I go in there. The range is very limited even on the strongest setting, so I would recommend staying close (within 5 feet or so) when using this.
We saved about $65 on our electricity bill just last month.
Answer: WE're careful about how much we use it, but we live in SoCal with the highest electric rates in the continental US. You can do the arithmetic yourself. The heater runs at 750 (L) and 1500 (H) watts. Look at a recent electrical bill and see what the cost/kWhr is in your area. Let's say its $0.20/kWhr (typical for SoCal), then 1 hour of using the heater at high will run you $0.30 (1.5kW x $0.20/kWhr), and one month of this will run you 30 days x $0.30/day = $9.00/ month. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, like my in-laws, where electricity is cheap ($0.06/kWhr), then it will cost a lot less (only $2.70/month) for that 1 hour/day.
