How we chose

We compared the two Lasko ceramic tower heaters on output, size, controls and current price, and favored the one that covers the most households for the least money. Both run at 900 W on 120 V and draw 7.5 A to 12.5 A, so the choice came down to size, features and cost rather than heating power.

The 22" Smart Ceramic Tower (model AR122) measures 22.0 in tall and 7.9 in by 7.9 in, and weighs 4 lb. It offers 3 heat settings, WiFi with Alexa and Google support, a tip-over switch, oscillation, a remote and a timer. At $79.99 it is at its 90-day low, down from a high of $99.99.

The 29" Ceramic Tower (model 5586) stands 29.00 in tall at 10.5 in by 10.5 in and weighs 7.9 lb. It has 2 heat settings, a remote, a timer and a thermostat, with oscillation. At $99.99 it costs $20.00 more than the 22" model.

For most households the 22" model gives the same 900 W output, more heat settings and WiFi control for less money. The 29" is the pick only if you want the taller cabinet and a simpler remote-and-thermostat setup.

Who should skip these

If you need to heat a large open room, neither of these is the right pick. Both the 22" Smart Ceramic Tower and the 29" Ceramic Tower are rated at 900 W, so neither gives you more output than the other, and neither is built for big, open spaces.

The same goes if you want a heater rated above 900 W. Both models top out at 900 W, so if a higher wattage rating is what you're after, you'll want to look elsewhere.

For everyone else, the choice comes down to features and size. The 22" model adds WiFi with Alexa and Google support and three heat settings at $79.99, which is its 90-day low. The 29" model gives you a taller 29-inch cabinet, two heat settings, and a remote-and-thermostat setup at $99.99 — $20.00 more than the 22".

How to choose the right one

If smart controls and the lower price matter most, take the 22-inch Lasko Smart Ceramic Tower. It runs on 120 V at 7.5 A to 12.5 A and puts out 900 W, the same output as the 29-inch model. It adds WiFi with Alexa and Google support, three heat settings instead of two, and a tip-over switch. It measures 22.0 in tall, 7.9 in deep and 7.9 in wide, and weighs 4 lb. At $79.99 it sits at its 90-day low, down from a 90-day high of $99.99.

Choose the 29-inch Lasko Ceramic Tower if the taller cabinet and a simpler setup matter more. It is 29.00 in tall, 10.5 in deep and 10.5 in wide, and weighs 7.9 lb. It gives you a physical remote, a timer and a thermostat, with two heat settings, at the same 900 W and the same 7.5 A to 12.5 A draw. Its price is $99.99, which is $20.00 more than the 22-inch model.

Both oscillate and both run on 120 V. The decision comes down to WiFi and the extra heat setting on the 22-inch against the taller tower, the remote-and-thermostat controls and the larger footprint of the 29-inch.
