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. Also, since the heating element is submersed in the oil, it won't overheat (as it could) if a fan motor goes out. The main reason I bought the first unit was that it was Made In USA.

The same goes with the one I just purchased on E-bay, but with a sad caveat; the Lakewood Engineering and Manufacturing Company filed for bankruptcy in Feb. 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.
