What reviewers say about the Lasko 754200

Two whitelisted testers, Tom's Guide and Wirecutter, hands-on tested this exact model. Both recommend it as a cheap, compact heater that blasts strong heat at close range for one person or a small room, but not a whole space, and both flag its missing tip-over protection. No RTINGS or Consumer Reports lab data here; the two split on noise.

Where reviewers disagree Noise: Tom's Guide measured a decibel rating of 50.4 and called it average, about as loud as a dishwasher, while Wirecutter called it one of the loudest electric heaters they tested (about 7 dBA louder than their top pick). Note Tom's Guide reported a plain decibel rating without specifying A-weighting.

Tom's Guide lab-tested ·

Temperature rise within 2 ft (highest setting): ~6°F · Energy use: 0.27 kWh · Max exterior surface temperature in use: 80°F · Noise while heating: 50.4 decibels

While on its highest heat setting, the Lasko 754200 upped the temperature within two feet of where it was sitting by about 6°F — it wasn't able to heat a 10 x 15-foot room.
One major drawback of the Lasko 754200 is that it is the only heater we reviewed that doesn't have automatic tip over protection.
We think the Lasko 754200 is a fine choice if you're looking for a small, portable and inexpensive heater to keep you toasty at your desk.

Wirecutter lab-tested ·

Noise at high setting vs top pick (VH200 = 45 dBA @ 3 ft): ~7 dBA louder

The Lasko 754200 is really, really good at blasting heat directly at you.
This heater is about the size of a loaf of bread, and it weighs only about 3 pounds, so you can stash it pretty much anywhere.
The Lasko 754200 is also one of the loudest electric heaters we tested.
