Portable Electric Ceramic Space Heater with ALCI Plug for Bathroom Use, 2 Heat Settings and Simple Heat Button, 8 Inches, White, 1500W, CD08200

Puts out a LOT of heat for such a small appliance! Use in winter for master bath to take the chill off - does that easily! Small, doesn't take up a lot of space. Quality materials.

Even with some negative responses and product failures reported, I still decided to purchase this heater due to its overwhelmingly positive reviews and popularity based on the number of units sold. Now, after using it for over a year without any problems, it has proven its value to me in cost, performance and reliability. This Lasko CD08200 Small Portable Ceramic Space Heater was a replacement for an older heater of a similar type and power rating that had simply lost its heating effectiveness after decades of use. It is always cold in my 6 ft. x 9 ft. basement bathroom, requiring some fortitude when stepping out of the shower. Hence a heater had become a necessary appliance there. Ceramic heaters produce plenty of heat for their size and are a great choice for bathrooms, making this unit appropriate for that purpose. I typically operate the heater for about 30 minutes per day, mainly during the cooler weather months. But even in summer, the heater will eliminate the chill of air conditioning which makes the basement bathroom quite cool then, as well. I found the information provided here by the manufacturer to be comprehensive and accurately describes the product and its usage in every detail. Links to important safety documents and instructions for use (in PDF format) are also included. To summarize, the Lasko CD08200 heater is a small, but effective 1500-watt personal heater with a simple one-button control, making it very easy to use. It heats very well, particularly in relatively small spaces, like bathrooms.

Great little bathroom heater. Has one hour, high, and low settings. Heats up the bathroom quickly while I"m taking a shower so I'm not shivering when I get out. My first one lasted for many years, and this second one, same brand, should last many years as well. Fits on top of my single sink--doesn't take up a lot of room. Not loud.

We have 4 Lasko products in our home, and have found them to be very reliable, so although there are cheaper heaters out there, I was confidant in this purchase. It's very nice to quick-warm a bathroom in the morning when the house thermostat has been low all night. It's quiet, heats up quickly, and has a thoughtful 1-hour on high timer. The cat, in particular, loves it - nuzzling it hopefully when it's off. Pros: It's a solidly built good unit that does its job. Meets expectations and is an attractive ivory cube that takes up little space. Cons: (3 grumpy items - no deal breakers) (1) Unless you have the hands of Rachmaninov (or...Shaq, for you sports fans), you'll have trouble picking this up with less than 2 hands. A cube this weighty and smooth should absolutely have either an inset handle or a bucket-like (possibly silicone) handle to maneuver it quickly. (2) The large round top button/switch is really nice! It makes a substantial click when you toggle between high-1 hour, high, and low. There's also a small inoffensive orange light that is always on when the heater is plugged in, and shows which power you're on. So you have a tactile and visual representation that you are turning the heater on - why would it need a *ridiculously* loud beep whenever you push it. Beep! Beep! Beep! The heater is on low! - now why are the dogs barking? (3) While a lawful warning sticker is normal for something easily misused....in this case, the Do Not Remove!!! sticker is fixed on the cord near the plug, and is Huge. More warnings than an aspirin bottle, English and Spanish. It might be.... 5x7" and made of stiff, wrinkled, rattley and curiously waterproof paper. Now, you might think I bet they removed it, but no! wrapping it around the cord and securing it with a piece of medical wrap at least streamlined it a bit. Experience teaches that if you remove those things, you're left with a sticky cord anyway. TL;DR It's nice. If you need one, watch for a sale, buy it. You'll never be sorry you have a little heater on hand - just don't ignore the warnings!

This unit is simple, powerful enough for the purpose, attractive (for what it is), and did I say that it was simple. Tap the top of the unit with your foot and you get 1 hour of heat. Tap again to be high and again to get low and again to turn off. That's all it does. 1 hour, low, high, and off. Soooo much better than the ones that require all sorts of tapping just to get it to blow out some heat. I shut off the vent to my bathroom to save money. As a result the bathroom is pretty cold. I turn on the heater to the 1-hour setting a few minutes before showering and the room heats up. I take my shower. Get out to a nice warm room. Do the rest of my bathrooming. Tap the heater off with my toe and I'm done. If I forget to turn it off, it will turn off anyway because of the 1-hour setting. I'll reiterate my favorite feature. I love the 1-hour setting. One tap and I don't have to remember anything else. It shuts off after 1 hour. Simple as that. ... and it heats up my medium-sized bathroom within a few minutes. Has it revolutionized my life? No. But it the best solution I've found for a frigid bathroom that makes me feel both comfortable and safe.

Been looking for bathroom heater for a couple of years, most too big or too pricey. Randomly stumbled across this one, read the reviews and decided to give it a try. This is an initial review after 3 or 4 uses. What I like: 1) very small, perfect size for my chilly bathroom. I placed it on a small, low, metal IKEA cabinet near outlet, 3 or 4 feet from tub area. 2) produces great heat, 3) quiet and no vibration issues at all. 4) very easy to operate with 3 selections. no touchscreens where you have to go get your eyeglasses to negotiate computer displays. 4) great value for price, that is IF it keeps working (reviews mixed on this point!) I also like that it has special GFI plug for bathroom safety. No prob with cord heating up, etc. Cons: 1) Not well-packaged at all for shipping with NO padding, bubblewrap or anything at all, just the small, loose product box inside large amazon box. Truly amazed it arrived Undamaged and in great working order. IMPORTANT: There's at least one very scary Amazon review about this heater over-heating and/or burning up a power outlet strip. The warning label on this heater clearly states that you should not use it with an extension cord or power strip, only plug directly into wall outlet. It also states to unplug the unit when not in use. I follow this strictly and also only ever use it when I'm actually in the bathroom. It goes off before I leave the room. I plan to use it frequently in the next few weeks in case, like some other reviews, it dies and I need to return it. I felt for the price, size and function it was worth a try. So far I really like it, is great stepping out of shower into a toasty bathroom and it dries me off quickly too, as well as the bathroom. Will update if any significant change.

I went through 3 other heaters before getting to this one & I love this one the best! I got the little white square cube :) It's kind of simple, and that's what I love about it. I love that the first setting is 1 hour high heat and it'll turn itself off. I use this one to warm up my bathroom for my shower. I have not really used the second setting, which is just high, or the third setting, which is just low. I remember reading another review mentioning this is a great little cube, and you don't have to worry about it being tipped over and I agree with that completely. I remember reading that it's kind of a pain to move because there's no handle and I agree with that also. But it's not too heavy, which is important for me because I'm getting older and have hand and finger issues. I'm hard-of-hearing so I don't really know about the noise level. Doesn't bother me any. I love how compact this heater is; it's very space saving :) and I think it has very good airflow. I'm not sure about how long but it'll heat up my bathroom from 58° to like 76° in probably half an hour. Then I took my shower and it was still going when I was done. This was on the one hour timer. It's just a great little heater and I suspect the durability will be great :) I absolutely recommend this heater!! I watched other video reviews and that really helped me decide :)

The heater heats up the bathroom (~100sq ft) really well and it's "dummy proof" only having one button to operate and change the settings. I chose this heater knowing it was for a bathroom and it has an ALCI plug for safety. Unfortunately, running this heater more than 10 minutes and the plug starts to get warm. If you unplug it after 15 minutes the actually prongs are hot. Not sure if anyone else has had a simar issue. Again, it heats well and is extremely easy to use, just worried about a potential fire hazard using this longer than 15 minutes.
