I did a ton of research and bought a few heaters before this one but I'm most happy with the Vornado. The first two I bought were digital ceramic heaters. I have to recommend against getting a digital heater. Each time you turn it on, you have to push several controls to get back to where you like it, with this heater, you just turn it on. The only thing that kept me from buying it first was cost and the fact that it had no ceramic element which theoretically was a safer element than an electric coil. We use it in a few bedrooms that are not freezing cold but uncomfortably cold. The other great feature is it'll run on lower power and only use as much wattage as is needed to heat the room. My other heaters would run full blast till it hit the desired temperature, then turn off, repeat over and over. The trouble is, heaters will use about as much power as must rooms have available so if you have anything else plugged in, you'll throw the circuit breaker, which happened over and over for me. A 1200w heater (which is common) will use over 10Amps. That's a TON of power. The Vornado will run and heat just fine on a low power setting using about 5A max and less if less is needed.

Here's a summary of what I like:

Pros:

Plastic grill never gets hot to the touch why do others use metal ?

Only uses the power it needs to gives your electric panel a rest

Much easier to use than digital heaters don't buy digital !

Compact and stable on the floor

Well built many heaters are absolute junk

Cons:

Expensive for a space heater

No ceramic element which MAY mean it could spark easier

When running on high, I noticed a buzzing noise in the fan but not during normal use

This heater is exactly what I needed. I've had it for a few days now, and it works perfectly.

I primarily wanted a heater that would work with an external / plug-in / wall timer. You know, the thing with the dial. So many heaters have a "timer" which is actually just one-time automatic shut-off, so you still need to turn it on, and set the timer, each night. I wanted something that would turn on and off at specific times of day, and there aren't many if any.

This heater has three rocker switches for power, heat level, and fan speed; it has a dial for temperature. There are no toggles or digital settings or anything. That means you can cut power to it, then restore power, and it's right back to where you left it -same temp setting, everything. I have it plugged into a heavy duty timer rated for 1875 watts.

Beyond meeting that specific requirement of mine, this is a great heater. It delivers on its promise of even heating. It circulates the air very well, and automatically adjusts both fan speed and heat output. Much better than heaters that simply cycle. It's also very quiet -I didn't believe its "whisper-quiet" claims, but it's true.

One step down (VH2) and you lose the automatic fan and heat level ("A" is for automatic). One step up (DVH) and you get digital, which probably won't work on a timer.

Best Deals for Vornado AVH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

I can't believe all the bad reviews for Vornado heaters. My wife bought one almost 10 years ago at a garage sale and we've used it every night during the winters for years. I took it hunting and hooked it up in the back of a pickup truck in the winter at 10 degrees outside, we slept on top of the sleeping bags in our underwear. We bought the VH2 a few years back and use it during the winter in another room in the house. We keep the house at around 64 degrees at night and have one heater for the entire upstairs 4 bedrooms. It raises the temp a couple of degrees and you can tell the difference the moment you go downstairs. The other in our family room, over a crawl space, keeps the room very comfortable even on the coldest nights AND it's an open room about 14 feet wide and 35 feet long. Just angle it in the general direction and you'll feel the difference. THIS IS NOT A WHOLE HOUSE HEATER! It is a space heater which means heating a relatively small space. It cranks out hot air quickly but it's going to take a while to make a difference in a big room. In the back of a pickup truck in the middle of winter it was like a sauna so we had to keep turning it down. In a house with 8 foot ceilings and large rooms don't expect it to do more than heat up the general area. Defects aside these things are in my experience safe for kids and pets (no RED element, COOL to the touch) and reliable. I still like the old one but after all these years it is starting to make an occassional noise. I'm buying another one and putting that old reliable in my basement.

Bottom line is despite the bad reviews on Vornado it's the only brand I've had good experience with. Holmes isn't very good. I've got one in a 7 x 5 bathroom that really barely heats up that room, putting a Vornado in there would likely peel the paint off the wall. We keep our costs down by running one in the family room where we spend our time, then one for our upstairs at night. Since hot air rises you don't lose any down the steps and you can close doors if you only need to HELP a couple of rooms.

Honest reviews on Vornado AVH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater, Automatic Climate Control

Pros: Solid construction, safe around my cats (not likely to be knocked over, and little paws are safe), heating element not visible in a dark room, high/low setting, can be used as fan, heats up my room better than my cheaper (but reliable) holms heater.

Cons: It doesn't feel anything like my car heater on max setting.

Noise. On the high setting it reminds me of a locast swarm a mile awayon the low setting it's even louder. Durability: unknown.

I would give it five stars if half the price, but I don't think it's a great value for the money.

*edit* after one year the unit started having problems. It will overheat within seconds of turning the unit on and shut itself off. The work around is to run the fan first before turning up the heater control. I believe that this is a problem with the power supply that is built into the unit not providing enough wattage to simultaneously start the fan and run the heater; if you start the fan first the problem is avoided (a fan draws more electricity when starting than once it's running).

I have a 16 month old daughter and wanted a heater that I did not have to worry about her burning herself on. I read the reviews and liked what I heard. I saw many claiming they were breaking. I marked this down as x amount of any product breaks.

Worked great for a little over a month producing an even warm heat capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature in even the largest rooms in my three story brick home. One day I noticed it was putting out more heat than it should and was warmer to the touch. I turned it off. My wife turned it on later that night and it made a rattling sound so she immediately powered it off. I turned it on once more the following morning, a fat blue spark arced in the motor and that was it. I will now be sending the unit to Vornado and am without the heater and out the shipping and I'm now worried from other reviews that this will not be the last time it is shipped off for repair. For the price this is ridiculous quality.

Based on my experience I would not recommend this heater.

My feet get cold easily, especially when I sit on the first level of a bi-level house. I was using microwaveable warm footies, but it was too much hassle. This product does not use much electricity-only 38W. There are High and Low heat settings. My feet are warm at the Low setting. Compared to a similar product that is three times as expensive and uses 100W, this product is a good buy. With Holmes Foot Buddy, I can read War and Peace comfortably on any winter day.

Previously had a large "boot"-type footwarmer that heated and had slight vibration function. When it eventually died, went looking for a good under-computer desk replacement. This is a bit flimsy, heats the bottom of our feet very well, but we miss the ankle coverage. The off/on is pretty easy to read, a little to easy to hit inadvertently. Since I can't find a way to replace what we had, this is Ok for now.

Discount Kozy World KWP196 15,000-BTU Vent-Free LP-Gas Infrared Wall Heater

Customer Ratings:

I bought this heater to use in place of a combination of forced-air and electric heat. I have only been using this heater for a little over a week, but so far I love it!

I did the installation myself, following the instructions which I found adequately detailed. It didn't take more than a few hours and most of that time was spent buying and installing the necessary gas fittings needed to tap into the existing LP line. Note that there are several gas fittings (not included) required to be installed at the heater connection. These include a union, tee, several nipples, a cutoff valve, and a sediment trap, which can be made with a nipple and cap. This is all explained in the instructions. All the gas fittings, pipe dope, and the 12-foot LP supply line needed for my installation ended up costing an extra $62 at the local hardware store.

The installation instructions explain that the propane supply must have a pressure of 11 to 14 inches of water. The regulator (Marshall Model 230) on my existing supply line met this requirement, so tapping into the line downstream from the regulator worked fine.

Although my living space is just 275 sq. ft., I chose this heater over the smaller 10k BTU KWP122 (which is rated for spaces up to 300 sq. ft.), because this is an older dwelling with single pane windows and loses heat fairly rapidly. I wanted to make sure I had enough heating power to keep up with that, as well as thinking this one would warm the space up faster when first turned on than a lower BTU model.

So now to the actual heater usage. I usually sleep with no heat, so when I awake in the morning it can be quite cold, sometimes as low as the upper 30s. It typically takes 1 to 2 hours for this heater to bring the temperature up to 70. As an example, starting at 35 degrees outside and 38 inside, it took one hour and 50 minutes to bring the temperature up to 70. Sometimes I use another portable heater at the same time to speed up this process, turning it off once a comfortable temperature is reached. That cuts the time in half, but it really isn't necessary when it's only moderately cold to start with. For some reason, maybe due to the infrared heat being projected out into the room, it feels more comfortable at a lower temperature with this heater than it did with my conventional forced-air furnace.

One minor complaint is that it is necessary to fool with the thermostat initially to determine what setting is comfortable. It's just a dial with numbers from 1 to 5, so you have to determine what the corresponding temperature is by trial and error. I've found that setting it just barely above 2 is close to 70 degrees. Too bad there isn't a remote, digital thermostat, which would be much more accurate. I still think it's better than having a model without a thermostat, since that would be "on" continuously, even if it was on low.

The piezo ignition is not automatic. You have to push a button on top of the heater to make it spark. It is rather loud when you do this, so if you have to push it repeatedly due to the gas not having reached the heater yet it might be a little annoying to some. It doesn't really bother me but I thought I would mention it.

I also installed a carbon monoxide detector just for peace of mind. It has not alarmed at all with the use of this heater.

I've noticed that some of Amazon's images of the KWP196 are incorrect. The 15k BTU models like this one have three heating panels, not two. The 10k BTU models such as the KWP122 have two panels.

I am keeping track of my propane usage and as soon as I have something to report on that I will update this review.

***********************

UPDATE after 3 weeks of usage Here are the numbers on my propane usage. Area being heated is approximately 275 square feet, single-pane windows, not well insulated. When running I keep one window cracked open about a quarter of an inch, as well as one roof vent cracked open about the same.

Average propane used per hour of usage: 0.11 gallons

28% of the time the heater was burning continuously, bringing the room temp up to 70 degrees.

72% of the time the heater was cycling on and off to maintain the temperature at 70.

The average inside temperature was 49 when the heater was first lit.

The average amount of time it took the heater to raise the inside temperature to 70 (without using the additional portable heater) was 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Average outside temperature when heater was first started was 42.

Average outside temperature when inside temperature reached 70 was 46.

Thirteen gallons of propane lasted 21 days, average usage of almost 6 hours per day.

Conclusion: I really like this little heater. And it appears it's going to save me some money over using the forced-air furnace combined with electric heat, as I did formerly. Although my propane usage has doubled when compared to a similar period last year, propane is now my only heating fuel whereas last year I used it only to bring the room temperature up in the morning, then used electric heat the rest of the time to maintain the temperature. My electric usage has dropped by 64%.

/UPDATE 08-02-2013/ After a year and 9 months of usage the heater is still working fine. No issues. Always fires right up, except when I've had the gas turned off at the source for a long time. Then it takes about 5 minutes for it to reach the heater again when the gas is turned back on. But that's not the heater's fault.

I bought this heater to save money instead of running the furnace in my motorhome. I hook it to a 5 gal propane tank inside the coach and it keeps the whole coach warm. The thermostat works great. I bought 2 legs that bolt on the bottom to make it free standing. This model radiates heat and is a lot better than the blue flame model. Well worth the money. This size is plenty of heat in a 40' motorhome.

I would not recommend this product. Due the fact,that the write up and product information is not totally correct. Deerso, the seller of this product, after several attempts has yet to return any correspondence that I have tried with them. when contacting World Marketing the distributor they explained to me that The operating pressures stated are not correct. I then had to purchase a second regulator to handle the increased pressure. I then had to pay a second service call charge to have it installed and adjust. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT REPRESENTED VERY WELL. THE SELLER DEERSO HAS NEVER CONTACTED ME AFTER NUMEROUS TRIES, TO BACK UP THEIR PRODUCT. I FEEL THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM SELLING ANYTHING ON AMAZON.

This product is fitting the bill in my 600 sq ft space I have it in. Pretty easy to install except that many fittings were needed. I paid about $100 extra to install it...mind you I ran copper pipe over about 12 ft and had to connect it to existing lines using a flaring tool and fasteners, etc. All in all though, the thermostat seems to work good and it does it's job. I'm pleased.

Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $62.99
Sale Price: $49.99

This is a great heater! We use it to heat the living area of our RV. The living area is approximately 26' x 10' with normal height ceilings. We've tried a few different compact room heaters, but they were too small to heat the area and also way too noisy. We've had the heater about 4 months now. Since we are staying in cooler climates, we've used it almost every night (overnight).

The best features about this heater are:

It's QUIET!!!

Really!! We have tried many heaters in our RV and house over the years and they tend to be so noisy. The model we tried before purchasing the Lasko was so noisy we had to crank the tv volume up to hear over it. This Lasko seems to be about as quiet as a fan could be.

It has an automatic thermostat you can set.

This model has a high/low and auto setting. The high/low settings are not thermostat controlled. You simply choose hotter or less hot air. :) The auto setting allows you to set the thermostat to the temperature you desire. It seems reasonably "accurate". That is, the temperature it displays is within 3-4 degrees of the other thermometers I have around the room. Once you set the thermostat, the heater cycles on/off, just like you would expect. This is a great way to keep the room at your target temperature. We use this mode every night.

It oscillates.

This sounds like a silly feature to list, but it makes a big difference in heating up a room. The previous heaters we've had did not oscillate. Therefore, the area directly in front of the heater was warmed, but the rest of the room was not. The oscillation really helps get the heat moved around the room so that you are not creating hot and cold spots. We always turn on the oscillation to heat the room. I am sold on that feature and would not buy another heater in the future unless it oscillated.

It has a remote control.

The only thing that would make it better is if you could see the settings on the remote instead of having to look at the top of the heater. But, if they did that, the cost would go up. So, I'm happy with this remote given the price of the unit.

There are a couple of negatives about this heater:

To me, it is annoying that it beeps for every setting you change. This may be a problem if you plan to use it in your bedroom and change settings while someone is asleep. The beeping is really apparent when you want to change the thermostat. When you unplug the heater, it resets itself to 75 degrees. So, if you then want to set it to 60 degrees, you are going to hear 15 LOUD beeps. Turn it on beep. Choose oscillate beep. Change to auto setting beep. Decide to up the temperature by 3 degrees during the night beep, beep, beep... and your partner is now awake! You get the idea. :) I assume Lasko designed the beep so that you would know you changed something while clicking the remote control. But, it's so loud they should either make it softer or give you an option to turn it off.

There is no "fan only" setting.

It seems like most heaters I've purchased in the past have a fan only setting. I'm not sure why this one does not. Since you have the big unit sitting there in your room, it would be nice if it could be used to circulate air during the day when it's warmer, and then heat at night once the temps have dropped. Since we are using this heater in our RV, it's more noticeable to me since we need to have space for the both the heater and a fan. Oh well.

Overall, we love this heater and would buy it again.

I rate it at 4.5 stars.

(PS we bought it at a local store, not via Amazon, so I can't comment on shipping).

UPDATE 1/18/2010: We've had this heater about 1 year now and it's still going strong. One thing I've noticed is that it will build up lint (Ummm... ok, cat & dog fur...). I wish there was a filter we could access and clean more directly. Oh well, other than that this heater is still doing great.

I own two of these Lasko tower heaters--this review is for the newest one which has a remote control. In the accompanying video, you will see a detailed explanation of the buttons on the control panel and the indicator lights on the screen. In the video, I note that the only thing I really DISlike about this heater is that what passes for a carry handle on the back of this model is pathetic...I can't see how anyone could pick up the heater and carry it that way. In fact, when I tried, I dropped it. My other heater has an obvious carry handle on the top.

The remote control is fantastic for turning the unit on and off or changing the thermostat from bed, from across the room, etc. The remote contains all the controls that the actual heater has on its control panel. When the heater is oscillating, it can be a little tricky to get the remote to "talk" to the heater at first...you just have to wait for it to oscillate toward you to click the remote.

UPDATE: This heater died yesterday (Jan. 18, 2012). I have no clue what happened. I went to turn it earlier and nothing. Used the reset instructions which say to unplug and wait 5 minutes and turn it back on. Nothing. Tried it in 3 different outlets. Nothing. Bummer.

this heater is a life saver! my room mate and i are too cheap to have the heater on all the time. when we are home we have it on at a tolerable 65 degrees and turn it off when we leave the apartment. the heater is a great way to save on the bills and is eco-friendly. it heats up my room very well and pretty fast.

i decided to get lasko just because my boss has one in his office and i do like it. i also saw it at wal-mart and for only 45 dollars (w00t) and it's up for 75 bucks on the lasko website (double w00t) so it was a good deal!

the bad:

-the digital display is on top of the heater. it's inconvenient when i want to see the digital display screen from my bed

-no fan only option

the good!:

-quiet enough for me to fall asleep to (and i'm a light sleeper!)

-comes with a cute little remote controller with the same buttons as the heater and is very convenient if you don't want to get out of bed

-the heater beeps when you use the remote on it to show that it gets the command

-very cool feature: the auto option is great! let's say i have it set to 75 degrees. the heater will heat up to 77 degrees and temporarily shut off till the room cools down to 74 degrees. then the heater starts up again and the cycle keeps continuing till you or the timer shuts it off. i usually have this on when i'm sleeping and have no worries about being too hot.

-a timer that goes up to 8 hours

-high, low, or automatic setting

-can turn from side to side only on the high and auto setting

-compact

-has a handle in the back for easy carrying

i've had this heater only for a month, but i can tell it's going to last for a long while! because of it, i'm going to trust lasko!! i highly recommend this heater. as you can see, the good outweighs the bad!

Honest reviews on Lasko 755320 Ceramic Tower Heater with Digital Display and Remote

I bought one of these last year to put in my bedroom because I live on a three-floor townhome and the termostat is on the second floor. My bedroom is very large and the little heater did a great job warming it up. So I decided to get a couple more heaters, one for the guest bedroom and one for my basement office. They did such a great job and made my energy bill so much lower that I brought the guest room heater to the living room and turned off the central heat.

This year, I went to a store and saw them at a lower price, so I went ahead and bought another one to put back in the guest bedroom. They are really great because not only do they have remote controls, but they also have an auto setting, so you can program the temperature you want and just leave it on. Programming is as easy as pushing a button to set it higher or another one to set it lower, and the heater thermostat makes sure the room stays at about the temperature you set. This product is so good that two of my friends went ahead and bought some for their houses after they came over and I told them about how happy I am with them!

Here are my thoughts on this product:

PROS

light and easy to carry around if you want to move it from one room to another

durable, the ones I bought a year ago work as great as they did when I bought them

convenient and easy to use remote control

easy to use digital control on the unit

automatic temperature setting

heats up the space quickly, even larger rooms

does not use much electricity

nice design, easy on the eyes

cheap and small enough that you can get one for each room of your place

for multi-floored homes, if working with central heaters it will help level the heat throughout the place

CONS

after thinking a lot, I realized that the only con is that you have to be careful where you store the remote control during the summer. I had put the ones that are in rooms where there are drawers in the drawers, but can't remember where I put the remote for the unit in my living room. So, if you purchase this during the cold months, come up with a system for storing the remotes at a place you will remember by the time it gets cold again next year.

UPDATE: When the temperature gets really low outside (teens through low 20th's) I do turn on my central heater to help with the larger area of my place (living and dining rooms that are open together). So, if you live in a colder region and have larger areas with big windows or sliding doors, one of these heaters may not be enough to keep such areas toasty. Although, if it is a larger area that has heavy curtains helping insulate it, etc, then it may be all you need (ie: my bedroom is 15 x 12 and this little heater handles all that is needed to keep the room warm, and the finished part of my basement that has only a window--not a large glass sliding door like the living room-can also be kept really nice and warm with just one of these heaters running in it).

Enjoy your warm home!

I bought this heater for $40 and am pleased with its performance. We use it in our basement gameroom and live in Western PA cooler climate.

The heating element is the same for all of their heaters meaning they all provide the same amount of heat. The differences are in the features. This model has a couple features worth noting.

oscillating the heater slowly turns back and forth to disperse the heat around the room. Control this on the remote or the unit.

thermostat the heater kicks on when the ambient temp around the heater is 2 degrees under the set temp. It stays on until it reaches the desired temp. Control this on the remote or the unit.

CONS: the only negative to this model is that the temperature is digitally displayed but faces UP. When seated on a couch level with the unit, you can not see the temperature. Obviously this is not a reason to not buy this model but it is worth noting. This is why the unit received 4/5 stars. It is otherwise perfect!

Regarding the hot cord, I did not experience this. But I also did not have it running for 5+ continuous hours. Ours kicks on until the room is up to the set temp and turns off. If it was running on high for hours on end, the cord will probably heat up. Any heater will do this.

I only noticed the smell of heated plastic for the first 5 minutes the unit was on (first time it was started). This smell went away and I have not noticed it sense (few weeks of owning it and use it every night).

I bought this recently and set it up right away. The high setting is loud for sensitive sleepers but if you need white noise to fall asleep the humidifier can double as a sleep machine. It puts out a nice cool mist on both high and low. PROS: It has a nice design -It is a solid performer -It is easy to fill CONS: The tank and the wick cover sometimes are easily disturbed -it is a little clunky -the grill on the fan cover disperses the mist mainly in one direction when it looks as if it would be omni-directional. FINAL THOUGHTS: I recommend it highly but wish the wick was cheaper to replace (around 5 bucks 2 times a year) but considering the other ones on the market it is still a good buy.

This is a good product. it has it's pro's and con's. First, it is loud when you use it on full blast. So, either deal with the noise or just turn it on early before bedtime on a medium speed so the room has time to "get humid". Secondly, it's annoying to have to take it apart everyday (which you have to do to prevent mold, but I believe it's something you have to do with all of these things... not just this one). On a high note, it seemed to help and I haven't had any problems with it mechanically. I'd purchase it again and recommend it to a friend.

PS: the noise is kind of a good thing for baby like white noise. I'm a light sleeper though and didn't like it I kept it on medium all the time.

Best Deals for Vicks V3500N Cool Mist Humidifier 1.1 Gallon

We bought this unit at Babies R Us to combat dry winter indoor air. We were specifically looking into cool mist versus a vaporizer because vaporiers will add heat to the room along with moisture. We chose this unit because it uses evaporation to put the correct amount of moisture into the air instead of "spray" moisture into the air like other units. Filters last 3 months, although they appear dirty after a couple of uses we found out (after calling) that that is supposed to happen and it does not mean that they shouldn't be used. The tank is easy to fill and carry and the units fan adds that pleasant "white" noise that I actually found soothing. This unit is great if you want to take the guesswork out of using a humidifier. Will buy another for the living area.

Honest reviews on Vicks V3500N Cool Mist Humidifier 1.1 Gallon

I just bought this humidifier yesterday but I am very impressed with it already. My 5 month old has had a cough so bad it was making him throw up. Two nights ago (before the purchase) he had stayed awake almost the enitre night. Last night he slept great--9.5 hours with only waking up once. I turned the humidifier on the high speed which is loud, but this is a child who falls asleep to the vacuum cleaner. I have to say the room got cool but it sure helped a ton. Also it ran for 10 hours and still had water left, but we also have good water here in Memphis so I guess the length of time it runs has to do with the water condition. It was also very easy to open and fill with water. I love this product already.

I have had my filter for 1 year and use it only in the winter to counteract the dry heat. Last winter I ran through 3 filter for the season, and this winter it looks like I will do the same. I want to consider a second one for my upcomming baby, but I am trying to see it there are any other better on the filters. The filters are $8-9 a piece. They grow mold very quickly. They last 3 weeks to a month. It is very quiet, feels good, and works great on my sinuses. But keep your nose alert for the mold smell, and prepare your pockets for the filters.
