Lasko 5369 Product reviews


Lasko 5369 Review by ANDREW BORGESS (WILLIAMSPORT, PA, US)

The room it is being used to heat is relatively large; it is actually 2 rooms connected. The heater doesn't take long to warm up. Of course, same as all heaters, all windows & doors must be closed for the heater to really work effectively. I think this heater's oscillating feature helps. I would not give this heater 5 stars because I noticed the power cord tends to heat up if left on for awhile.

I bought this mostly because of the 4.5 star rating, but it's a mediocre heater. In terms of heating the room it does a good job for its size, but it has many poor design aspects.

The most frustrating thing about this heater is the controls. We'd like to use this to keep our bedroom at 65 each night, and so each night we must press Power, then Temp six times to cycle from default Max heat to 75, 80, 85, Max (again), 60, then 65, then we must press Oscillate. It has no way to remember your preferred settings even if you leave it plugged in all the time.

Letting you set temperature only in five degree increments is also annoying. I bought another small heater a number of years ago that I think was the same price and it let you choose temperature in 1-degree increments, though it doesn't heat nearly as well as this heater.

The carrying handle is angled so the weight of the heater is pulling the heater away from your fingers instead of pushing your fingertips deeper into the handle as would make sense. So if your fingers are sweaty or slippery in any way, or if you just bump the heater wrong while carrying it, the heater can easily slip off your fingers.

The power usage of this heater is not as advertised. My Kill-a-watt meter says it uses 1297 watts at high heat (it's supposed to be 1500 watts) and 1100 watts at low heat (it's supposed to be 900 watts). I'm glad it doesn't use over 1500 watts at least since that would be a fire hazard.

I knew it didn't have a "tip over" sensor when I bought it, and with some people complaining about heaters turning themselves off due to malfunctioning sensors I was sort of glad it didn't have a sensor, but now that I actually own it and see how tall and narrow it is, I'm a little uncomfortable. Luckily we have only a single cat and she's almost never knocked anything over, but anyone with pets or kids should think twice before buying this model. The more I think about it, the more I wonder why they can't they include a quality tilt sensor in every heater model? Why should anyone have to worry about such a fire risk to save the cost of a cheap sensor?

Some people have complained about plugs overheating in Lasko heaters, especially in the reviews of the "remote control" model (which is part of the reason I bought this one instead), so I tried running it on Max heat using a few different plugs around the house. On one plug it got somewhat hot, while on others it was much less hot. Since they warn you in the manual not to use it if the plug fits loosely, I think the plug heat depends on how good a contact with the outlet it makes. If it makes poor contact, I'm guessing that high resistance across the gap between outlet and plug is what causes the overheating.


Lasko 5369 Review by J. Jackson

When I opened the box I was surprised to see how small this was, and I immediately thought it would not be sufficient. WRONG! The room I heat is about 11 x 24. It has a sliding glass door that doesn't seal shut so ALOT of air comes in. The door is blocked with blankets and various makeshift items but the curtain still billows when the wind blows, so it gets pretty cold. The heater oscillates and has temperature settings from 60-85 in 5 degree increments. I put the heater on top of my desk, pointed it at my recliner, and set it to 80 degrees. It felt pretty good, especially if I stayed in the chair.

Then I needed space on my desk and had to set the heater on the floor. Wow that made a huge difference. It not only warmed that room it warmed the dining room, the doorway to it being 15 feet away and up 2 stairs! In this position I rarely move the setting above 65! And every time I come back into the room from the kitchen or living room I say, "Man, its warm in here".
I don't notice the noise it makes until I turn it off but I don't think its loud. It's certainly quieter than a box fan.

I know heat rises but having long forgotten my science classes, I don't know why it works so much better on the floor, but it does. It sits on tile in front of the sliding door and blows across carpet if that matters, but whatever the reason I am extremely pleased with this heater and would definitely recommend it to others.
