Lakewood 5500 Oil Filled Heater--review I purchased a Lakewood 5500 in 2007 at a local retail outlet. Its purpose was, and is, to keep a rehearsal room dry and warm through our sub-zero winters. It works great!
Over the past thirty years, I have used both fan forced radiant and convection type electric heaters, and this unit has a couple of key features for me. There is no motor to burn up or create RF waves which create havoc for electronics.

Their factory in Chicago was auctioned off thi s past November. Get them while you can.
If you want a solid, USA built, safe heater, the Lakewood 5500 is the one to get-while you can find one. Note: The Lakewood 5600/7 is made in China, NOT the US.
