Lakewood LAK 750

Pros: Nice and warm

Cons: Nice and expensive!

Review: I used this Lakewood Portable Heater last year and have to say that is a very good product. I have a drafty window in my room so this portable heater came in very handy last year during the long, cold winter. It is an electric heater so it must be...

Pros: Updated, sleek appearance, with automatic shut-off safety feature. Probably adequate for a smaller room.

Cons: Does not heat as well as the Lakewood 7096, which costs only $5.00 more.

The Bottom Line: For a very small room, this might be an adequate heater. However, I would suggest purchasing the superior model,which is the Radiator-style Lakewood.

Review: A couple of years ago, I reviewed the Lakewood Radiator Heater 7096 (here on Epinions) and stated that if I needed another space heater, that is the kind I would buy. So, why didn't I? Well, I have to admit that when I went to Walmart to buy another...

Pros: Easy to use, hot.

Cons: Thermostat doesn't maintain constant room temperature, unit not completely silent.

The Bottom Line: Buy a different model! Only buy this model if you plan to use it as an on/off heater and don't mind hearing soft metallic noises.

Review: Lakewood claims 50 years of experience, but they made a beginner's mistake on this model: The thermostat is placed next to the heating element, so it is greatly influenced by the heater itself. The thermostat cannot know the current room temperature and...

Pros: none

Cons: Toxic fire retardant, sometimes undetectable. Insidiously marketed as "oil-filled heater."

The Bottom Line: Would not recommend to anyone. A toxic, unsafe heater, and insidiously named "oil-filled heater" when it is not. I have completely lost faith in Lakewood, another American tragedy.

Review: Loss: $65 After looking at very high priced stand-alone oil-filled baseboards on the web (like Fahrenheat, Q-Mark, Cadet,) I bought this at my local hardware store. I feel like a fool for even buying this thing. I thought there was a possibility ...

Pros: Heats well; low-profile

Cons: Annoying sounds when warming up/cooling off; no indicator light showing heat is on

The Bottom Line: I would not buy the heater because of the noise and lack of a heat-on indicator light.

Review: I bought the heater for its low profile and didn't think the noise described in the other review would bother me. But after a few days it did. The noise occurs when the heater comes on and shuts off. It is not a continuous sound, but more the ...

Pros: Rapid heating of small rooms.

Cons: Unreliable and not cost-effective.

Review: Had this for one winter season and it worked like a champ, several hours a day, everyday. Used in a smallish den/computer room area. Plugged it in this year and it is DOA. Efforts to contact the Lakewood Company via email results in ODBC Drivers error ...

Pros: Ergonomically Attractive

Cons: Noisiest heater I have ever owned.

Review: Bought this heater from mail order and arrived a few days later no shipping damage to packaging. Unpacked and set up in minutes. Nice ergonomics. However compared to other baseboard heaters I own there are several disadvantages. The thermostat is ...
