Customer Reviews for Lasko MyHeat 200-Watt Electric Portable Personal Space Heater, Purple

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Great small heater for office with cold floors.....and does double duty as emergency heat for a problem area for pipes that have a tendency to freeze in below zero weather. This is my second MyHeat 200 Watt Heater and the first one that is several years old is still used often during cold winter days in my home office.

I like this unit very much. I've had it since 10/26/16. Took only 5 days day's between the time I ordered it online and when it was ready for me to pick up at my local Home Depot. I purchased this heater for the 200 W feature to use on my small back up solar system. I wanted to use this heater for emergency use but have been using it daily during this winter. A low wattage heater is critical so it does not drain my battery bank as fast as the typical 1500 W space heaters. I have two 100W solar panels, four 6V deep cycle batteries and a 2300 W (3300 W peak) inverter. When I have "My Heat" plugged into my inverter, It will give me a peak of 300 W then stable out to about 240 W. Sometimes it stabilizes at about 180 W. When I plug My Heat into the "Kill A Watt" power meter, it will peak at 300 W also but stabilize at 190 W. So, it is a true 200 W heater! It will warm up my 10X12 study very quickly (doors and windows closed). It is also very quiet. I plan to get another one for my bedroom. I can't say there is anything I dislike about it. It has meet 100% of my expectations for the size and price.

First thing: remember this is only a 200 watt heater! If you want a whole room heater, then look elsewhere. That being said, I purchased two of these to put underneath my desk that is against an exterior wall. One would not have done the job, but one for each side of the cavity makes all the difference, as now it is nice and comfortable. I feel these units are safer because of their low wattage. As well, the cords don't get hot like some other heaters, so I don't think the units are working too hard. If you have the correct application, I think you'll be happy with these little heaters.

Best heater i ever had, i love it more than life itself...

Worked great for my purpose

Perfect for putting under the sink to keep from pipes freezing and for under the desk to keep feet warm!

We put one in the bathroom and closed the door to warm the room for bathing. The only heat was directly in front of and within 5 inches of the heater. I had bought two of these heaters and will be returning both. Wasted my money

Simple, dependable/reliable, and economical heat. This is the second purchase, after having my old one borrowed by my better half for years. Now she has her own. I do wish it had a tiltable base though. Thank you for reading and hope this helps.

I had hoped this device would warm my feet under my desk. There’s not enough blown heat to do that. However, it’s good on my desktop for providing a decent amount of warmth, in particular for my hands when they're feeling chilled.

Kicks out some good heat in a smaller space!

Amazing, directed heat for 200 watts.

Its so personal and easy to carry

Absolutely perfect! Just what I was looking for. Low watt heater I have by my desk to keep my hands warm (can't wear gloves and work on the computer). So grateful to have found this little heater.

I got this because it has low power for my battery backup. It works great but on camping trips I am afraid it will fall over. Another user uses electric blankets with his battery backup. That uses a range between 80-200 watts and I don't have to worry about the tent on fire. I would recommend that. But as for this tiny heater. Ill take it to work for my feet or something.

I am really enjoying my Lasko heater. It works very well. It has very good heat throw out for the amount of watts that it’s rated at. I hope that this is helpful for your rating.

Too small. You have to be right in front of it

nice lil heater to heat up small spaces

This is a great little heater for a small space. Took it camping where it was 33 degrees at night and this helped add some warmth to a small tent with 2 people in it. It ran all night for 2 nights with no issues. Stable and did not feel hot or overheated in the morning. I had to plug into the campsite electrical outlet, my Anker power station capped at 200w and couldn't power this.

Good price. Fast delivery.

It's a very very small heater .I think it's best used under or on top of a desk ,not to providebheat in a room. Works well. Just not large enough
