Lasko has been making dependable, straightforward heaters for decades. The 5586 Tower Heater is a refined version of that formula, adding digital precision and remote convenience to a proven ceramic core.

Its 1500-watt output and widespread oscillation move heat effectively across a medium to large room. The adjustable thermostat is the key feature here. You set your desired temperature, and the heater cycles on and off to maintain it, avoiding the constant blast-and-bake cycle of simpler models. The included remote and 8-hour timer mean you can manage warmth from the couch or set it to shut off after you’ve fallen asleep.

The tall, slim profile takes up minimal floor space, and the built-in carry handle makes it easy to relocate. At full power, the fan noise is noticeable for a quiet bedroom but typical for a heater moving this much air. It’s a practical, no-fuss solution for taking the edge off a drafty living room or a chilly home office.
