Lasko Artisan 16 vs CC13700 vs CT22360: body fit, remote and swing

Three Lasko ceramic heaters can look similarly portable while solving different placement and control needs. Compare what the exact manuals document: a compact oscillating tower, a low console with a hand-aimed louver, or a taller tower with selectable full-circle movement.

Start with the outlet and clearance envelope

All three models are portable indoor fan-forced ceramic heaters, not bathroom or outdoor units. The Artisan CX16550/CX16350 manual and the CC13700 and CT22360 instructions require direct connection to a 120-volt wall outlet and prohibit extension cords and power strips. Each says to leave three feet in front and one foot at the sides and rear, use a stable surface, and not leave the heater unattended. A 15- or 22-inch body is only the appliance measurement; it says nothing about whether your location has the required open space.

Within that safe footprint, the bodies differ. The Artisan is listed at 15.56 inches high with a 6.75-by-6.75-inch footprint. The CC13700 is a 13.5-inch console, 10.5 inches wide and 6 inches deep; it is shorter but broader across the face. The CT22360 is 21.88 inches tall on an 8.63-inch square footprint. A strict shelf or alcove height limit can make the Artisan or console more practical, but do not push either into a close recess to make it fit.

Choose the control behavior you will actually use

The Artisan gives you an included remote, base oscillation, two documented heat settings, Auto Eco and a shutoff timer up to 12 hours. The Black CX16550 and White CX16350 have separate model numbers and manuals; both document High/Low and the same essential timer behavior. The manufacturer product page has an inconsistent paragraph that says three heat settings, so the two exact manuals, not that stray line, are the basis for this comparison. The timer turns off an already-running heater; it does not schedule a future start.

The CC13700 trades the remote and oscillation for a lower console form, a manual vertical louver and a one-to-eight-hour off countdown. Its automatic thermostat cycling is documented on High only. The CT22360 includes a remote and a removable intake filter, and its exact manual describes 90°, 170° or 360° horizontal sweeps; it does not document a shutoff timer. If precise airflow coverage around the heater is essential, the CT22360 is the one of these three with a numeric sweep range. If automatic shutoff matters more, the Artisan or CC13700 may fit, depending on body shape and remote preference.

Do not turn feature claims into performance promises

The Artisan and CC13700 use maker-described Auto Eco routines, but those routines differ in documented behavior: the Artisan shifts from High to Low at its setpoint before switching the element off above it, while the CC13700 cycles temperature only on High. The CT22360 also describes High-only thermostat control and automatic air sampling. The lower heat wattage and exact thermostat setting ranges are not published for the relevant models. No controlled room-warming, sound-level or energy-cost comparison is available here, so choose from the fit and manual-supported operation rather than a claim that one will heat a particular room faster or more evenly.

For a short body with remote, oscillation and a long shutoff window, read the Artisan 16-inch review. For a hand-aimed front outlet and an explicit shorter timer, see the CC13700 assessment. For a taller tower whose manual names full-circle sweep choices, use the CT22360 review. Match the exact model number on the product to its instructions, then let essential controls, room restrictions and body measurements narrow the choice.
