Don’t let the 1 star reviews dissuade you…
I recently moved into a house that had an exceptional heating system except in the master bedroom (probably due to a large French door). Didn’t see the logic in heating the whole empty house just to keep one room warm, I started to look for a suitable heater. Upon some search, Vornado DVH surfaced as a viable option. Although pricier than other models, if it did what it claims to do (even warmth, quietness, safe to kids’ touch, and good control) I thought the product would be ideal for my family needs. While searching for the best price, I came to read the ratings by others on the Amazon site, and it was disturbing for me to see that there was a noticeable disparity among the raters (please look through the reviews and see for yourselves-5 to 1 star). But it sounded great at least for those who had them in working condition, so I decided to give it a try, knowing that there is a chance that I might get the bad apple. Well, I have been using the unit for a while now and I have to tell you that it is worth MORE than its weight in gold!!! It is quite; temperature control is dead accurate; heating is impressively even throughout the room; and it really doesn’t get hot at all to the touch; and even looks cool. I have occasional circuit breaker tripping when I use hair drier in the bathroom connected to the same room, but Vornado has not tripped the circuit not even once, even though I usually have it run at 78F when I use it (basically all night). I’m sure others’ claims on defective products are valid. But if you are unsure whether to give it a try because of those reviews like I was a few weeks ago, I strongly recommend you give this product a try. Even if you end up with a defective product like others claim, if you can get a good one after exchange (and get something like what I got), it is worth the trouble-and believe me I’m an extremely lazy person when it comes to product exchanges…I only write this review because I wished that I had something like this to help my decision making. Hope it helps you.

perfect for basement apartments!
I live in a basement apartment in Washington DC. The winters here get pretty cold and I do not have control of the heater. The landlord upstairs controls the heat (and they are rarely home).
I plugged this heater into my front room. The room measures 20×25′. The temperature gage intially read 58 degrees! Wow that’s cold. I set the digital temperature gage to 72 degrees. It initially took about an hour to reach that temperature (I think the electronics needed to be broken in).
This little heater has been plugged in and running nonstop, 24 hours a day, for the past three weeks and it is nothing short of spectacular!
I positioned the heater at one corner of the apartment and it heats the entire room and keeps every corner of the room at the same temperature.
Since it has a plastic casing, it is constantly cool-to-the-touch and I have no reservation with leaving it on when I leave in the morning to go to work. The unit *never* gets hot.
I thought $100 was a bit expensive for a heater, but wow… this purchase has been justified.
I also have a humidifier (by Bionaire) running on a 24-hour basis to prevent the room from becoming too dry.
The temperature gage on the heater is spectacular. You really can tell the difference between 70 and 72 degrees with this heater.
It’s fabulous. Nothing short of fabulous.

The Best Electric Heater Out There!
The Digital Vortex Heater is wonderful! We have a drafty attic office in our home, which has been impossible to heat. We’ve gone through at least 3 different heaters (all under $50) with no luck. We decided to try the Vornado Digital because of “how” it heats.
With other heaters, the room never really got warm. As long as you sat or stood directly in front of the electric heater, you were freezing. With the Vornado Digital heater, it warms the entire room by circulating the heat. And believe me, no matter what other says, it works! The only drawback, is it does take (depending on the size of the room, how cold it is outside, and how drafty the room is) some time to heat up the room. For the attic office space we have, it’s about a 20′ by 20′ space. It warms up the room in about 20 mins, depending on how cold it is outside. BUT, once it’s warm, it stays warm! The internal thermostat on the Vornado Digital works quite well. We actually have to turn it down or off after a while, because it gets so warm. I have been noticing after a few weeks of use, that it seems to warm up faster. So maybe there was a break-in period it had to go through, I can’t be sure. Although, it does seem to work better after a little use.
We tried several different heaters from several different manufacturers, and the Vornado was by far the best at warming a room, and keeping it warm! Is this heater the kind of heater that pumps out direct HOT air? No. If you want a heater that is just going to be pointed at you to keep you warm, this might not be the heater for you. But if you want a heater that will heat up a room and keep it warm, with soothing warm air, there is no other heater better for the price! Again, it’s most amazing feature being that is circulates the air throughout the room. Just for the feature alone I am satisfied, because I feel that’s the secret to correctly heating a space. The only downfall being, that it takes some time to do it.
My suggestion is to at the very least, try the Vornado Digital. I purchased it from the Vornado website for $100.00, but I suggest going through Amazon to save on shipping. I think you’ll be happy you tried it!
