Get Warm Quick

in hive-163521 •  5 years ago 

         You may have a good central heating system at home. Even then, there could be certain parts of the house that will not receive adequate heat. Yes, I am looking at the basement and sometimes the bathrooms. By bathrooms, I don't mean next to the bathtub or shower. I meant right outside the door. For a more economic option, I chose the Lasko Digital Ceramic heater.

Why?

         For quick warmth. this space heater generates warmth so fast you'd be feeling toasty in a matter of seconds. For $50, it's affordable. I have had it for almost three years and it's working fine for the winter seasons.

Considerations

         The downside of using a space heater is that it incurs extra electric cost. But, as long as you aren't using it as sole source of heat for your home, you'll be fine. This thing can jack up your electric bill if you are not careful about how much you are using it on regular basis.

         This particular Lasko model has programmable settings. You could decide how much you'd want to heat the space. From my experience, the heater goes three degrees over your setting before stopping. (All measurements are in degrees Fahrenheit.)

         If you don't care about having programmed settings, you could always let it run on high or low settings. The heater will continue to run until it's turned off. Or, you could always set a timer and let it go full blast under whichever strength you prefer.

From the product website.

         To turn off, the manufacturer recommends to always unplug instead of the power button. It may seem like common sense, but that's not always the case. This is for your safety in case the buttons are not turning the heater off.

         Common sense also dictates that you do not use this in hazardous areas or wet environments. I, for one, would never use this in the garage in a workshop. Alas, the manufacturer outlines it to save themselves some unwanted lawsuits.

Practical uses

         As I mentioned in the beginning, I use them in the basement and outside of the bathrooms. This is not for me, per say, but for visitors and the little ones. This is especially true for bath time in the winter. Toddlers aren't always the most adept at getting dried and dressed out of the water. At the very least, they wouldn't be freezing out of the waters in the winter.

         The product website mentions the kitchen. I can't, for the life of me, understand why you'd need a heater in the kitchen. Most of the times, my kitchen gets hot when I start cooking, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

         Although missed opportunity, I would have loved this while in college. Imagine having a cozy room to yourself. The downside is, I can't trust those old plugs in those rundown college off-campus housing. And chances are, you might be driving the shared electric bill sky high.


         For what it's worth, the Lasko Model CC13652 is a cheap and effective space heater for the cold parts of your home. For more information, please read the user manual.

They are also great if your home is large with central heat. We rarely used many of the rooms in the house and so would just heat the 3 rooms we did use.

I imagine heating the entire house is more expense than blasting 3 rooms?

I do this, too. Because I often spend a lot of my day in one room of the house (my office), I'll keep the heat in the entire house kept at a really low temperature. I don't turn it off completely when it's extremely cold, just in case. Then I've got a heater similar to yours with a thermostat on it in my office that I use to keep it a little more comfortable just in the one room.

Nice! I should do that one of these times when I’m the only one in the house.

YOU are the only one because you are a toxic wanker!

Lmao. Speak for yourself, triggered wanker.

You fake fucker appearing on my comment thread, you disgust me you lot, You will get what you deserve, history repeats!

WHAT?

Are you talking to me? What did I do?

If it's because I commented on some people's posts that you don't like, I'm sorry. All I did was click on "tribes" in SteemPeak and find some somewhat interesting posts and comment on them. I'm unfamiliar with who has beef with who and why.

He’s triggered af because people disagree with him. Ignore him.

Most know him as a strange old man who says “he’s leaving Steem” like every other week.

I was just very surprised because I had a normal, good interaction with him early in this very same day, and then later on got that reply. I think it was because I replied to your post. I don't know who has beef with who and can't keep track... I just started this new account and wanted to make an effort to not only read more posts, but comment / interact with the ones that I did read.

Just chalk it up to people being people on the internet.

You’ll be fine. Keep doing what you wanted to do. He doesn’t even realise today was the first day you commented on my stuff.
