Best For / Not For
Best for
- Bedrooms and living rooms where a freestanding tower fits the layout
- Buyers who want a heater that blends into the room rather than sitting on a desk
- Anyone who wants digital thermostat control at a mid-range price
Not for
- Small desks or tight spaces where a compact heater fits better
- Garages or high-ceilinged workshops -- the 1500W won't heat large volumes
- Buyers who need a remote control
Key Details
Tower Format Advantage
Compact heaters sit low and push warm air horizontally from floor level. A tower heater's taller profile pushes warm air from floor to above waist height, heating the occupiable zone of a room more directly. For bedrooms and living rooms where people sit and stand, the Lasko 5586's height advantage is real.
Digital vs. Analog Thermostat
The digital thermostat lets you set a target temperature precisely. Once the room hits that temperature, the heater cycles to fan-only mode to maintain it without overheating. This is more energy-efficient than leaving a heater running at full power continuously.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tower format distributes heat at a more useful vertical range than compact units
- Digital thermostat cycles the heater on and off to maintain the set temperature

Cons
- No remote control
- 1500W ceiling limits effectiveness in larger rooms
- Plastic construction is standard for the category but not premium
Bottom Line
Buy the Lasko 5586 if you want a tower heater with a digital thermostat for consistent room temperature. It's the most space-efficient format for bedroom and living room heating.
