Two ways to heat a living room. The Lasko tower oscillates a warm stream across the couch from seated height and gives you a digital thermostat, timer, and remote. The Vornado circulates the whole room's air so there's no hot stream at all — just a gradually warmer room — with a dial thermostat and no extras. Control and instant comfort: Lasko. Even temperature and quiet: Vornado.
Pick the Vornado if…
- ✓You want the whole room evened out, not a warm stream
- ✓Quiet operation and a 5-year warranty
- ✓Tip-over switch matters
Pick the Lasko if…
- ✓Digital thermostat, timer, and remote are must-haves
- ✓You want to feel warm air from across the room
- ✓Lowest price for a tower heater
