Which is better for a bedroom?

The Lasko tower is the better bedroom pick: it is slim, oscillates, and has a remote and digital thermostat for $34.99 at The Home Depot as of November 8, 2026. The Vornado is quieter in form but has no remote.

Which heats a whole room faster?

Both put out 1500 W, about 5118 BTU. The Vornado circulates air with its vortex blower; the Lasko spreads it with oscillation. Expect similar warm-up times in a normal bedroom.

Is the Vornado worth the extra money?

Yes if safety and warranty matter: it adds a tip-over switch, a timer, and a 5-year satisfaction guarantee for $47.50 at Mercari as of November 8, 2026. Otherwise the Lasko saves you $12.51.

Which is safer around kids and pets?

The Vornado has the edge: it has a tip-over switch and 2-stage auto shutoff. The Lasko has overheat protection and a cool-touch exterior but no tip-over switch.

Do either have a remote?

Only the Lasko, which includes a remote and digital controls. The Vornado uses a mechanical thermostat dial.

The Vornado backs its heater with a 5-year satisfaction guarantee, which is the stronger longevity signal. Lasko does not state a warranty term for this model.
