Description
Perhaps the best-looking ceramic heater on the market, the Lasko 6435 is well-suited for heating small and medium spaces without drawing attention to itself. Sporting a chic crackled finish and decorated base, visitors might confuse the heater with a nice piece of pottery.
This heater has a host of different features that make it highly convenient. With a remote, users have the option of controlling it from a bed, desk, or couch. The oscillating fan ensures warm air will spread evenly, and it’s quieter than most. Note that this model is more or less the “big brother” of the Lasko 6405 model (plus a remote).

While it doesn’t come with a tip-over switch, this Lasko heater does come with automatic overheat protection. That means it will turn off when the unit becomes too hot, preventing it from using too much energy and decreasing risk of damage.
