Lasko CC24810 Ceramic Console Space Heater review

The Lasko CC24810 is a black floor-standing ceramic console with three heat choices, two separate fan-only speeds, powered louvers, an Auto Eco thermostat and a 12-hour shutoff timer. Its feature list is unusually broad for this shape, but two listing conflicts deserve attention: the remote is not consistently identified as included, and the displayed weight disagrees with the native catalog record. Treat both as unresolved, not as reasons to assume a package detail.

Confirm the exact black configuration

Lasko's current U.S. All Heaters collection identifies native product 9585520771349 as a 24-inch ceramic console with one Black SKU, CC24810 (variant 50194543444245). The exact product page uses the same model number and finish. Though called a 24-inch console, its body is listed at 23.29 inches high, 14.1 wide and 6.61 deep. Check body fit separately from operating clearance; a shallow footprint does not cancel the front clearance.

The page specifies 120 V and a 900–1,500 W range, with a maximum of 1,500 W. Its manual names High, Medium and Low heat, but neither source assigns a wattage to each step. The two additional fan-only speeds are not heat settings. If you need a specific low-mode draw, the available sources do not provide it. The page also advertises up to 200 square feet, but that is a manufacturer claim rather than an independent room-heating test; insulation, ceiling height, outdoor temperature and room layout still matter.

Three heat levels, plus fan-only airflow

CC24810's controls let you choose High, Medium or Low, and the fan can run separately at F2 or F1 without adding heat. That makes it more flexible than the similar CC24925 and CC24910 consoles, whose current instructions describe two heat settings and no separate fan-only mode. Fan-only circulation moves room air; it does not cool it. The page's zero-dBa field is not a usable sound rating.

Auto Eco is a specific thermostat routine, not a fourth heat setting. The CC24810 manual says it uses High when room temperature is below the chosen setpoint, Low once the setpoint is reached, then turns heating off above the setpoint by two degrees Fahrenheit. The fan continues for about 15 seconds after the heating element stops. The display reports room temperature, not the temperature of the outgoing air. This behavior is documented for Auto Eco; it should not be mistaken for a wattage map for the three selectable levels.

A button starts or stops the powered louvers. That adds movement absent from the hand-set louver of CC24925 and CC24910, but the manual gives no travel angle or clear axis specification. The product page separately says “No Oscillation,” so the evidence does not support describing the whole console as a side-to-side oscillating tower. If you need a precisely stated airflow arc, the published details are not enough.

Timer and lock are conveniences, not permission to leave it running

The manual describes an auto-off countdown up to 12 hours: half-hour steps through two hours, then one-hour steps up to twelve. It does not document a later-start schedule. The manual warns not to leave the heater operating unattended, so the countdown is a way to end a supervised session—not permission to run a heater while you are away or asleep.

The control lock is activated by holding Display Snooze for three seconds. When locked, heater functions are disabled except the power button; unplugging the unit cancels the lock. That can help prevent accidental setting changes, but it is not a physical barrier, a child-safety certification or a substitute for supervision and required clearances.

Do not rely on a remote being in the box without checking with Lasko. The exact page's feature field says “No Remote,” while its accessories field lists a remote, and the manual's troubleshooting section refers to remote batteries. Those manufacturer records conflict, so remote inclusion is unknown here. The matcher will not treat an unknown package item as confirmed. If remote control is essential, compare the clearly documented CC24910 or CC20125 package details instead.

Make the placement decision before the control decision

Use this model only for residential dry indoor floor placement on a stable, level surface. Its manual says to connect it directly to a 120-volt wall outlet; do not use an extension cord, power strip, surge protector, multi-outlet adapter or shared circuit with another device. Keep combustible material at least 36 inches in front and 12 inches from each side and the rear. The manual excludes bathrooms, laundry areas, wet or damp locations, outdoors and unattended operation. A tip-over switch and thermal-overload protection are listed, but they do not override those instructions.

Unplug before cleaning or moving it. Lasko instructs owners to vacuum the intake grilles every two weeks with a brush attachment, wipe the body with a soft cloth and never disassemble the heater. If the thermal protector shuts it down, unplug the unit and wait ten minutes before the reset procedure. The listed warranty is three years.

Who should shortlist CC24810?

It fits a supervised dry-room routine where three heat levels, two fan-only speeds, powered louvers, a control lock and a 12-hour shutoff are useful. Do not assume it includes a remote, has a particular louver axis, is quiet or uses a stated wattage on each level. Its weight remains unknown because the page says 9.0 lb while the native variant record lists 9,979 g.

Compare CC24925 if hand-adjustable louvers and a simpler two-heat-setting console fit better; choose CC24910 if its confirmed included remote matters. CC20125 is another console alternative with three heat levels and a 12-hour countdown in its own documentation. These are control and fit differences, not evidence of a heating-performance winner. The right shortlist starts with the exact room, clearance envelope and supervised routine, then asks which functions you will actually use.
