Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater

The Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater is a popular household climate control appliance designed for efficient supplemental heating. Known for its unique cyclonic heat action, it circulates warm air throughout a room using a vertical vent system. The brand is a staple in the North American market, recognized for its portable fans and ceramic heaters.

Lasko Products was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1906. Over more than a century, it has grown from a small metalware shop into a leading manufacturer of home comfort products. While the company maintains significant design and some manufacturing presence in the United States (specifically in Texas, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania), the majority of its complex electronic heating units are now manufactured in China to balance cost and performance.

In 2021, Lasko was acquired by Comvest Partners, a private investment firm, and JW Levin Management Partners. This transition moved the company from family ownership to a corporate investment structure, aimed at expanding its global footprint and product innovation. The company remains headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and continues to operate under the Lasko brand name.
