Lasko model comparisons

Lasko AW300 vs AW310 vs 6451M vs CC24810: remote, sweep or fan-only?

A tall, narrow heater can look like a simple upgrade over a smaller tower, but the Lasko AW310/AW300, 6451M and CC24810 answer different control needs. Compare the exact sweep, heat and fan choices first. A larger “coverage” statement or a shared brand name does not establish identical room performance.

AW310 Black and AW300 White: channel tower plus shutoff countdown

The manufacturer’s current All Heaters row groups a Black AW310 and White AW300 under one 27-inch “bladeless” ceramic tower page. The model numbers and retail SKUs are distinct, and each has its own manual. The White product image carries Air Logic branding; the Black image carries Lasko branding. Both manuals, marked New 6/18, document High and Low heat, an adjustable thermostat, oscillation, remote control, EZclick permanent-filter access and an off countdown from one through eight hours. The manuals do not give the Low setting’s wattage, identify the oscillation axis or angle, or document a separate fan-only setting. The product page lists a 900–1,500 W range at 120 V, a 27.17-inch height and 150-square-foot maximum coverage. Those are manufacturer specifications or coverage claims—not independent tests.

Choose this family if a tall, slim body and a remote-controlled off timer serve your routine. Do not interpret “bladeless” as proof of passive fanless heat, or infer a full-circle sweep from the word oscillation. Both exact manuals also say not to leave the heater operating unattended. The timer is an off countdown, not scheduled start and not a waiver of the supervision instruction. More detailed variants and limits are in the AW300/AW310 assessment.

Model 6451 / 6451M: explicit 360-degree movement, no timer

The Gray retail SKU 6451M is a different 25-inch tower. Its linked Model 6451 instructions describe selectable 90-, 170- and 360-degree sweep of the upper air director. That makes it the clearer choice if a documented full-circle option is essential. The same exact manual and page show a remote and two heat levels, but the automatic thermostat works only on High and Lasko lists no timer or automatic shutoff. It is not a fan-only appliance and is not intended for unattended operation.

In other words, the 6451M gives more precise evidence about where the outlet can move, while the AW300/AW310 lists an 8-hour timed shutoff but no movement angle. Neither specification establishes room-wide temperature uniformity. If your need is “must oscillate through 360 degrees,” the 6451’s manual supports that filter and the AW family does not. If you need a countdown timer, the opposite is true.

CC24810: console with a separate fan-only mode

The 24-inch Black CC24810 console has a substantially different control set. Its exact manual documents two fan-only speeds, three heat levels, Auto Eco, powered outlet louvers, child lock and a countdown timer up to 12 hours. The manual’s Auto Eco sequence and fan modes are not features to transfer to the AW tower merely because both have digital displays and remotes listed among their accessories. Use the CC24810 comparison if moving air without adding heat or a longer timed session is central; its broad console shape and controls may be a less attractive fit if floor footprint is the limiting factor. Its exact remote/accessory field is inconsistent on the Lasko product page, so verify what is included on the version you would order.

Fit and placement are part of the comparison

All three are portable floor heaters, but their bodies and instructions differ. The AW page lists a 27.17-inch, 8.1-by-9.25-inch body. The 6451 page lists 25 inches and an 11-by-11-inch footprint; its collection tag conflicts by one inch, so the exact product-page measurement was used. The CC24810 is a wide 23.29-by-14.1-inch console. Check the actual cap against the exact body measurement before adding the outlet location and cord route. The clearances are a separate dimension: the AW300 and AW310 manuals each require three feet in front and one foot at the sides and rear, use on a stable level floor, and direct connection to a 120-V wall outlet. Their instructions prohibit bathroom, wet or damp, outdoor and unattended use. The other models have their own manuals; do not copy the AW clearances to them or assume a tower is automatically safer because it occupies less floor area.

Which tradeoff is hard to bend?

For a remote and an off countdown, shortlist AW300/AW310—but require supervised use and accept that the sweep angle and fan-only behavior are not documented. For a known 360-degree sweep, choose the 6451M only if its lack of timer and High-only thermostat are acceptable. For fan-only airflow, more selectable heat levels, powered louvers and a longer countdown, investigate CC24810, checking the exact accessory listing. If none fits the non-negotiable need, do not waive a safety restriction or treat missing evidence as a match; compare a different heater whose exact manual does establish that function. A timer ends a session, not an electrical hazard. At final setup, use the manual for the exact model number and keep combustibles, children and pets clear of the heater as the manufacturer directs.
