I needed to heat the finished portion of my basement. There is some residual heat from the furnace located behind closed doors in the unfinished portion of the basement, but not nearly enough. I live in Massachusetts and the temperatures outdoors lately have ranged from overnight lows of 14 degrees to midday highs of 35 degrees or so. The finished portion of the basement consists of two rooms with a large opening between them (no door). The space is about 550 sq. ft. total. After initially trying a Lasko 758000 cyclonic ceramic heater, I found that model could only get the space to about 65 degrees after letting it run for 24 hours. This low-profile model, however, warmed the space from 65 to 70 degrees within 30 minutes of turning it on. It has now been close to two hours, and the room temp. is holding steady at 69 degrees. Unlike the cyclonic ceramic, this heater runs absolutely silently. I recommend this model to anyone with similar needs.

I've had this heater for almost 2 years. It is great as a bedroom heater and very quiet. My only issue with it is that if you turn it on and don't set the temperature it defaults to turning the heating element on constantly until you make an adjustment or turn it off. I feel like this is a dangerous default operation and that it should default to having the thermostat set at the last temperature that you used (e.g. turn it on and it's already set for 68 degrees instead of in FULL ON mode). I have turned it on and forgotten to set the temperature a few times and woke up in the middle of the night to my room at 90 degrees. Yikes.Best Deals for Lasko 5624 Low Profile Silent Room Heater, Black
If ever a product deserved a one star review it is this one.I purchased two of these at the same time to use in my kids rooms to keep them a little warmer at night during the winter months.
The first one worked for two weeks then inexplicably began turning itself off after 5 minutes. I tried resetting it per the manufacturers instructions but it continued to run for no longer than 5 minutes before it would go into protect mode and shut itself off.
The second one worked for three weeks before it had a fault that caused it to bypass the set temperature and run continuously all night! I went into my toddlers room to wake her up in the morning and found it was near 100 degrees in her room! I tested the unit out downstairs and sure enough even with the set temperature at 80 degrees it would just keep on running.
I contacted Amazon and they were awesome as always and refunded my money for these two units.
Honest reviews on Lasko 5624 Low Profile Silent Room Heater, Black
Bought 2 one for the dining room (3 parrots live there, no dining allowed) and one for my 14x16 bedroom. Both are crazy-quiet, and warm a room quickly. It's not a dry heat like a fan-based heater puts out, but a general warmth that I assume is the convection heat doing its thing. I leave both unattended at night, and the one in the dining room runs constantly no worries as it's not a hot-heat, and is made very well.I gave this 4 stars because I feel the electrical cord is fairly short 6' maybe. You can't use an extension cord with it, so it does limit placement.

This heater was purchased for $ through Amazon ()and meets our expectations. We live in Orlando, Florida and purchased this heater to keep the master bedroom warm at night so we do not have to turn on the heat pump and heat a two story house with 3,300 square feet. Our average electric bill is always over $300 a month and this heater is a money saver! The bedroom is 13'X20'; we close the doors to the hall and bathroom and the unit works well. Since the heater's digital temperature gauge is within inches of the heat source one must set the thermostat 2 to 3 degrees above what you want the room temperature to be. The unit turns on 1 degree below where it is set and off at 2 degrees above set point. It is very quiet since there are no moving parts. It has a long electrical cord a good thing since you cannot use an extension cord with it. While we seldom get very cold temperatures in Orlando the heater performs well when it is in the 30's outside. Often we turn on the ceiling fan on low and it makes the room a uniform temperature without any cold spots. This heater is paid off in a couple of months if you can reduce the house thermosat or turn it off as we do at night.
