Oil Filled Radiator Heater, Slow To Start Yet Provides the Best Heat For Our Home

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: I like oil filled heaters over other types because I feel they are safe and though they are slow to heat, do give better overall warmth to a room.
Review: My home is heated by an antiquated steam system that, no matter how I place and adjust my steam valves, rooms are continuously unevenly heated. Having one thermostat, near the front door that changes the air temperature each time it is opened and...

It sure is hot in here thanx to the Lakewood (5500) Oil Filled Radiator Heater.

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this to people who would like to heat a small area and maintain that heat.
Review: My boyfriend recently purchased the Lakewood (5500) Oil Filled Radiator Heater for our apartment due to the fact that I'm always cold. Our landlord's heat connects to ours, and if his isn't very high, ours isn't either. There were times when I would...

the switch went after couple of y ears

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: Adequate, get if cheaper than the competition. Otherwise, consider others.
Review: I bought mine in walmarts for about $35 several years ago.
It worked fine. Then after about 2 years one of the switches on the front (which controls 900 watts) stopped working.

I find all oil filled heaters (I have 4) close to the...

Good Addition to a cool room

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would buy this unit again because it has performed flawlessly for so long.
Review: I have had this heater for about three years now. It has been very reliable. Never given a lick of trouble during our ownership. We use this heater in our large master bathroom to augment the in floor heat that has to fight the 12' ceilings.
I...

Not Worth the price or time

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2007
Review: I bought this heater to use downstairs because I have a Lakewood heater upstairs. I thought the different name brand wouldn't make a difference. I was very wrong.

This heater does not put out much heat and it constantly shuts itself off. I...

No Customer Service. None.

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2006
Review: I recently bought this heater at Walmart for about $35. I really liked it at first, because it was cheap, totally silent and it worked well. It also seemed safer than the coil type heaters.

About a week after buying the thing it started...

Well it's pretty

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2007
Review: I bought this fancy heater at Wal-Mart for only $27 (a great deal compared to online prices upwards of $100). It's pretty and shiny, and I had great hopes for it.
But, it's hot to the touch (this will burn your toddlers fingers, and set your...

Works great, efficient electric heat.

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product based not only on price but more so on the efficiency and consistency of the heat. And is simply perfect for a basement. Great!
Review: If your looking for a low energy bill, oil filled is the way to go. If your looking for quick hot heat at about twice the cost for energy, get a ceramic heater. This unit is slow to heat. So slow, that after an hour it only made my 55% room go up...

Satisfactory radiator. Much depends on the outside temperature.

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Satisfactory oil-filled radiator heater, but there are better ones on the market.
Review: Describe your experience using this product.

The heating ability of the Lakewood electric radiator heater I bought seems to depend on the outdoor temperature. On very cold days (below 20 degrees), its ability to warm my bedroom is average...
