Lasko CT16670 vs CT22360 vs CC13700: timer, sweep and airflow aim
These three Lasko ceramic heaters are all for portable indoor use, but their controls solve different problems. The 16-inch CT16670 pairs a remote with an eight-hour shutoff countdown and adjustable thermostat; the 22-inch CT22360 has a specifically documented 90°, 170° or 360° sweep but no listed countdown; the 13.5-inch CC13700 adds a hand-adjustable vertical louver and permanent vacuumable filter, but has no included remote. Compare the model number, not just “Lasko ceramic tower.”
At a glance
| Exact model | Useful distinction | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| CT16670 Black | Remote, up-to-eight-hour off countdown, oscillating base; thermostat works with High or Low | No numeric sweep angle, app or later scheduled start is documented |
| CT22360 Black | Upper air director has selectable 90°, 170° and 360° movement; remote and removable filter | No countdown timer is listed |
| CC13700 Black | Shorter 13.5-inch body, manual vertical airflow louver, 1–8-hour shutoff countdown, permanent cleanable filter | No included remote or side-to-side oscillation; thermostat cycles on High only |
Choose the motion you actually need
CT16670's exact manual confirms base oscillation, and its product page calls the motion widespread. Neither source names an angle. That makes it a match for a plain “must sweep side to side” requirement but not for a numerical minimum: missing angle information should stay unknown. CT22360 is the clear choice among these three when angle is the deciding question. Its exact manual names 90°, 170° and full-circle 360° movement of the upper air director. That describes the heater's movement, not a measurement showing that every corner of a room will reach the same temperature. The CC13700 is different again: its manual describes a hand-adjusted vertical outlet louver. It does not oscillate side to side, and hand-set tilt should not be mistaken for powered vertical movement.
Do not treat every timer alike
CT16670 and CC13700 both list an elapsed auto-off countdown up to eight hours. On CT16670 the exact manual says the timer shuts the unit down after the selected duration; its adjustable thermostat can operate in High or Low. CC13700 has its own one-to-eight-hour countdown, but the manual says automatic temperature cycling works only on High. Neither model documents a later scheduled start. CT22360's current listing has no timer; reaching the thermostat set point is not a timer that ends operation after a chosen number of hours. A countdown is also not an instruction to leave a portable heater operating unattended—each exact manual says not to do so.
Body size, airflow and maintenance
CT16670 is listed as 15.75 inches high and 5.07 inches wide; CT22360 is 21.88 inches tall and has an 8.63-inch square body; CC13700 is 13.5 inches high but 10.5 inches wide and 6 inches deep. These body dimensions help screen furniture or storage fit, but none describes the full operating area. All three manuals require a stable, level surface and clear space from combustibles. For each model reviewed here, that means three feet in front and one foot at the sides and rear. A slim shape is not permission to tuck a heater between a curtain and a desk.
Maintenance differs too. CT22360 has a removable intake filter. CC13700's page describes a permanent vacuumable filter. CT16670's manual instead instructs owners to vacuum the intake grills every two weeks; it does not identify a removable filter. Unplug first and follow the cleaning instructions for the model in front of you rather than importing another Lasko tower's filter procedure.
Which one fits a real routine?
- Pick CT16670 when remote control and a shutoff countdown matter more than a known sweep angle, and you want its thermostat available in either heat mode.
- Pick CT22360 when a defined selectable sweep is central, you are comfortable without a countdown, and the larger body and filter care fit your room.
- Consider CC13700 when manual up/down airflow aiming and a shorter body matter; do not expect a remote or horizontal sweep.
All three are 120-volt, fan-forced ceramic heaters, and the manufacturer's stated wattage ranges do not publish exact low-mode wattage for these comparisons. Each is supplemental equipment for a dry indoor setting, with a direct wall-outlet rule and restrictions against wet rooms and unattended operation. Choose based on the feature the exact manual confirms, then measure the clearance area and read the model-specific instructions.
