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.

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 20x25'. 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 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!

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

I recommend this one only. It seems to me that DVTH is an upgrade version of DVH (you can see the product number which is different) and far better than VH2. Current temp. and setting temp. is shown repeatedly with fan speed ('LO', 'HI', and 'FA'n only), and it accurately monitor and warm up the room.

Other heaters stops fan as well as the heating element when the desired temparature is reached; this one doesn't. Fan works continuously (slowly) when the temparature is reached... so that the entire room air is heated up properly. I tried Homles one, and Black and decker one, but they don't have this functionality.

I am pretty sure this fan works well esp. when there is another heat source (like ordanary apartment) but heating is not enough. I am not sure for other cases. But definitely, this guy is well worth the money (I know this is expensive). You can search hard and ask for the best price in a big online company which sells this.

I have owned several different space heaters from different manufacturers over the past 5 years or so, and this is the best by far. Most ceramic heaters generate too much heat in a small area and they get hot enough to start fires. The ceramic heaters I have used have melted parts of my desk or chair, they are a real fire or burn hazard. Even though they have fans inside to blow the heat, the heated air is so hot that it never gets more than a few inches in front of the heater before rising straight up. You are always either freezing cold or in fear of being burned depending on hwo many inches you place it from you. Oil heaters are nice but they have a terrible smell (supposedly this goes away) and they do not have a way to spread the heat at all.

The Vortex heater has a medium sized fan with a small wire heating element behind it. It's very much like the way a hair dryer works to heat air. This heater generates lots of air flow, more like a regular fan, while heating the air. You can place this heater 6 feet away and you will still feel a warm breeze from it.

The vortex heater is VERY quiet, and the front of the heater does not get hot enough to burn you. I also use this heater a quiet personal fan for the summer time. If you set the FAN switch to ON, the heat switch to LOW and the thermostat all the way down, it will blow air but not stop heating it.

The plug and power cord on the heater does not get hot like other heaters, but remember never cover the power cord on any space heater or high-powered appliance because it does still generate some heat.

The heater does a good job of detecting the temperature of the room and will turn off when it reaches the desired temperature setting.

The heater will turn off if tipped over. If the heater is bumped it turns off for a second. However, if you wanted to place this heater on an angled surface it will still work. Whatever the mechanism it has, it allows it to be angled but not tipped over all the way or bumped suddenly. The heater does not have a way to aim it up or down. It is preconfigured to blow at a very slight upward angle.

I have been using this heater to heat my 7 month old son's play area recently. He started crawling and the front of the design on the heater is just barely large enough to allow his tiny little fingers to poke into the front of the heater and get hit by the fan (this has never happened but at the largest part of the gaps in the front of the unit, it would be possible). Other than that, this heater is safer for children because neither the air nor the front of the heater gets hot. I would say that in a few more months his fingers will be too large to poke through. If this heater had the fine wire mesh front like most other heaters, it would be perfect.

The vortex heater is a little more expensive than other heaters, but it is well worth the extra money. I have had this heater for about 2 or more years and it works GREAT!

When finally got together, it looks really pretty and puts out reasonable amount of heat, but not enough to warm a large space. It holds a average size TV and VCR, so it both practical in addition to being pretty. Nice size--works well in a small room. Rich cherry color looks nice with the black accent.

We've owned this for a while now (only been used 2 times prior), and this was my first time using the machine. I've just spent 2 hours trying to clean an approximately 13'x13' area it is practically impossible to operate it without a manual.

There are two tanks one with a bladder that is part of a two piece assembly that needs to be taken apart, to be filled with water; and another for a detergent/shampoo solution. The dirty water that is the result of the cleaning is deposited in the same tank as the water bladder, just on the outside of the bladder. You are supposed to pull the trigger (non-tactile) on the handle to generate a spray (which you can't see) there is no way that one can tell how much detergent or water is deposited with each pull of the trigger, other than actually walking over the area one just cleaned to feel how wet the carpet is.

The sprayer apparently stopped working after I had to refill the water tank, or worked poorly, as the remaining 9sq.ft area was just slightly damp.

To top it all off, the unit is heavy, bulky and hard to maneuver.

This is a poorly designed, over-engineered, expensive machine that really should work better than it does.

I bought this originally from Costco...and after four shampoos, it stopped sucking up water. It did clean, but not perfect. Many of the stains that I tried to work on were still there after repeated cleaning and prepping beforehand. The attachments for sofa and carpeted stairs were a complete joke. They just left stains on my sofa, and didn't have enough suction power to clean anything on the stains. I found a good spray of Oxyclean and rags pulled up more dirt that this machine. Renting a rug doctor carpet cleaner still seams like a better way to go...bigger water tank and more powerful suction. I paid $200.00 plus tax and got four uses out of it. If the machine broke after let's say 24 uses, then maybe I wouldn't feel so ripped off. I know these machines aren't great to begin with, and not made to last (all parts are plastic), but throwing this into the landfills after barely any use is pretty terrible. Rug Doctor here I come!

This thing was working fine for a year then the main carpet sprayer stopped working. The hand tool does spray and suck, so at least I can still use it for small jobs and stairs. Overall I would not recommend this product to the numerous complaints about the spray malfunction.

Currently sweating it out and trying to figure out how to get this hefty 'ornament' out of the wall and into the trash. Stay away.

If you asked me how i liked this a/c a few weeks ago (shy of it's 1 year anniversary in my home), i WOULD have had glowing reviews. Promptly within a year, the a/c stopped blowing cold air, and instead turned into an oversized wall-embedded fan, blowing room temp air into the room.

Luckily i had a Service agreement (though somewhat suspiciously, Frigidaire kept on trying to get me to upgrade my warranty with them, til the last day), so a tech was to come to fix it. Turns out, it's not worth the trouble that this unit causes the repair company declined to service it and my money was refunded.

There was a time when you bought an a/c that lasted through the summers. This one made it through half of last summer, and called it quits before summer even began this year. Total pain to have it removed and to find a replacement during a heatwave. Not recommended. Stick to a GE or Friedrich.

This unit struggles to cool the small second floor of my house. Two small rooms, 10 X 12 each. This unit is NOT quiet. You will have difficulty sleeping in the same room. On high, I'd swear a 747 was taxiing by my bedside. After less than 1 year of service unit stopped cooling, would only blow air.

Sorry to say this heater was not a winner. It did arrive on time and in perfect condition. However upon first use and every subsequent use there after it was very loud and had a horrible rattling sound like it was going to come apart violently. It also produced very little heat, having another heater similar to this one that works wonderfully, I am aware of what a heater like this should put out for heat. I would not suggest this heater to anyone, in fact i would suggest the Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4. I have had the Fahrenheat unit for over six month's now and it perform's as advertised without a single failure.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a bit a "buyer beware" review. This heater requires an electrical configuration (essentially having a "dryer plug" kind of socket in your wall).

Not many garages have that. Mine didn't. In fairness, the description explains this and I missed it.

If I were going to pay for an electrician to install the proper power, I'd likely ponder some other solution that wouldn't be as expensive. This only heats a small area, so the only other area I could see value is a basement, maybe unplugging the dryer. The best situation for this would be for a workshop, or if you use your garage extensively to do work. That would justify the expense of the electrical work. To simply not see your breath on cold days when you go to get in your car--this is probably not worth the trouble or expense.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program

It's the first week of November and we've already been using this heater in our garage for the past few weeks. We've even seen small amounts of snow a few times this fall. In Minnesota, winter is always just around the corner. It gets crazy cold here. Forty below zero at night is not foreign to this area of the state during the heart of winter. It gets so cold, the foundation of homes and the concrete slab floors of garages can buckle. In the video I've attached to this review, you can actually see that the foundation of our own garage floor has buckled and left us with a crack down the center that looks like we were hit with a Californian earthquake. So spending any time at all outside in the garage in the winter requires some form of heat, if nothing else so your fingers don't go numb while trying to work in the cold.

Prior to this heater we had a torpedo heater. It was great and put out a ton of heat, but if you're familiar with those, you know they produce heat using a large open flame. Torpedo flames in a garage filled with flammable things weren't the safest way to go. Especially since one wrong step from your kids and they could walk into it and catch a leg on fire. The second heater we used was meant for ice fishing. A portable propane heater. It was actually our ice fishing heater, but it doubled as our garage heater for a while. Expensive way to heat the garage.

Now we have this NewAir electric heater, and it's so much better. No open flame to catch a pants leg on fire and no need to keep switching out propane tanks. Also unlike the other two heaters, this one has an overheat safety setting and regulates the heating element by sensing the air temperature. Be sure to take note of the shape of the 240 volt plug. We have a outlet in our garage for this, but it has a different shaped receptacle. Ours was designed for use with a welder. So we ended up buying a different plug for the end of this heater and switching it out to work with our welding outlet.

When the blower is the only thing going on this heater, it's pretty quiet. Like a simple fan. When the heating element turns on is when you can really hear it. But I wouldn't call it loud. It's a garage heater encased in a metal box, usually sitting on the garage floor. It's going to make a little noise. But it's not like it's so loud two people talking right beside it even need to raise their voice to hear one another.

The casing stays cool to the touch. You won't get burned from touching the metal even after the heater has been running for hours. The carrying handle on the top is bolted on, so it's well affixed. The power cable is fairly short (I believe for safety reasons), so you'll need to have a spot for this within a few feet of your outlet.

As for how it heats, we've liked it so far. However we don't expect it (or most any portable heater) to heat a 2 car garage to 72 degrees when it's -40 deg blow zero outside. This heater takes the chill off and keeps your blood moving. The closer you stand to it, the warmer you'll be. Work on the opposite side of the garage right next to the door and the air won't feel as warm. We turn it on when it's cold and leave it running while we're out there working. Plug it in and get it going a little while before someone's going to be in the garage so it has time to start warming up the air. It's waterfowl season right now, so my husbands been out in the garage in the evenings for hours each night working on tying up decoys and working on the motor of his boat. He's had the heater running each evening while doing this to help keep it warm while he's out there, and it's been working very well. No problems so far. We like this heater MUCH better than the propane and torpedo heaters we had in the past.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This thing is well built. Note that it requires a 240 outlet before you order. But it puts out the heat let me tell you. My son came over and mounted it up about 2/3 of the way up the wall opposite the garage door in a corner about 3 feet forward from the wall and plugged it in. (he did put a support bracket up for the top and bottom of the unit) We fired it up and tho it makes noise there was no rattle and the level's nothing you can't live with and I soon was used to it. It's a bit early for heating here in the mountains of Colorado but we did have a morning low of 39 and this was around 6:30 in the morning before he went to work. Took about ten minutes to heat up the Garage from about 45 to 65 degrees and then we turned it off because it was going to go back up in the 80's later in the day and it wouldn't be needed. So right now I'm pleased with it and this winter when we dip down below freezing I'll give it it's real test and if there are problems I'll come back and redo this review. Right now I can report it's solid, well built, the controls are convenient and the thermostat worked pretty darn good cycling it off when it reached 65. I would certainly recommend this unit at this price point...just remember you need that 240 outlet handy to use it.

Here is my situation:

I love in northern MN. It gets COLD. I have a 30x60 uninsulated garage/pole barn with 15+ ceilings and a cement floor. I made a "bubble" work area 400 sq.ft (20x20x9) using 4mil plastic within the garage. The heater arrived quickly and in good shape. I already had a 50amp circuit but downsized that to a 30amp and attached the correct female receptacle to fit the unit. Very simply.

I have been impressed with this little heater. I do not find it to be too loud, considering it is made for a garage setting. Some days the temps were in the negatives with windchills in the -20's and in my "bubble" the temp was at least 30 deg. I have recently put studs and insulation between joists at 9ft for the ceiling. This has really helped. The outside temps are in the 20's but "bubble" is in the 50-60 range.

I have not used any other garage heater so I have nothing to compare too. I do not run this thing all day/night. For the most part, I run it a few hours before I plan to "work" in the "bubble" and the temps has risen to a workable level for me (35 deg +). Remember, my "bubble" is simply within my garage, no insulation (except ceiling) and is definitely not air tight.

I have only had this for about 2 weeks but I have been satisfied for my application. I will update this post in the future as I use it more, insulate the room, and receive an electric bill.

I would recommend this product, but I would probably recommend the similar RED heater for $30 less. I read the product info wrong on the RED one and purchased this unit instead. Either way, it is doing what I need.

UPDATE: (3/25/13)

I have had this unit a little over a month. I have taken down the "bubble" mentioned in the last email and finished off half of the garage. The area is now approx. 30x30 (900 SQFT). The area is insulated with rigid foam board (R6 in walls R4 board and R11 fiberglass insulation in ceiling ceilings are 9ft). My point is that the insulation is NOT GREAT. The heater is able to heat the entire area about 40 deg warmer than the outside temp. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this heater when the temps were below zero with the area being insulated. This heater is stated to heat an area 500 sq feet but my area is almost 900 sq ft and it does the job to take the chill out of the area (even with a cement floor). Two of these heaters would EASILY heat my area to any temp (70 deg) no matter what the temp is outside. Remember, I live in a COLD area. I would still recommend this unit. I don't know exactly how much my electric bill went up but it did go up (not an outrageous amount). The only thing I would like to change on this unit would be when you turn it off the fan stops running but the area around the unit is still hot as it cools off could be dangerous if you are not in the room I suspect all heaters are similar to this though.

This kettle is sold under many different names, GTC, Continental, Maxi-Matic, Proctor Silex, Sunbeam and Rival to name a few. They are all the same unit with a different screen printed name on the front.

I thought about getting a hot pot to boil water for my coffee instead of using the microwave and I limped in with this $10 purchase. The idea is sound and I will be buying another hot pot but this product was a waste of money. After the first week I started seeing an orange ring around the bottom hot plate, I later found out this was rust, which I have been drinking. After two weeks the unit would only work intermittently. I figured out while moving it around that water was coming out of the bottom. I took it apart and realized that the plastic pot interfaces with the hot metal heating element at a cheap silicone seal that had failed. This would also explain the foul taste in the boiled water. The heating element had rusted up between the seal and the metal.

There's no doubt that if I had continued to use this it would have been possible that water could have seeped out and I could have grounded on it and gotten a good shock. Do not buy this. Amazon should remove it.

One year later I noticed, that the non-sticky round bottom part, inside the pot, the part that actually heats the water started to get rusty I was totally appalled, that the material used for such item was not safer and basically a health hazard. I complaint with the store, the Sunbeam company and the Consumer Affairs yet no-one did anything ! The Sunbeam hot pots are still on the Walgreen store' shelf !!

I opted to buy a different brand the next hotpot was made by "Continental Electrics" and I hoped that my previous experience had been an isolated incident.

Surprise!! yesterday, Jun 18, 2011 I noticed that my "Continental Electrics" hot pot's inside hot plate is starting to rust as well on the outer borders, where it touches the plastic bottom it is fitted into .

Now this hot pot is not even one year old and I consider it total irresponsibility that the makers of such kitchen ware dare to sell such garbage to the public! I consider it even more lamentable, that the Consumer Affairs "ignored" the issue altogether.

There are people out there who use these hot pots to boil water for their children!

Someone tell me please: Whenever was "rust" healthy? If "Sunbeam" and "continental" cannot use safe materials for their kitchen appliances then they should not be allowed to produce this kind of appliances!

?? Are these the same products, just with a different name printed on it??

I do not have a problem with the re-seller, I have a huge problem with the manifacturers and our Governmental agencies that should control the products to keep the consumers safe.

By the way no I did not use the hotpot for anything else but boiling water! I clean it with soap and water, as directed. There was no corrosive material touching the inside of my hotpot!!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam BVSBWH1001 Electric Hot Pot, White

The Sunbeam Hot Pot Express changed the way I cook. As a college student, I am always on the go and looking for ways to create meals in a short period of time without resorting to the nearest takeout menu. This hot pot takes less than two minutes to boil water which is perfect for pastas, soups and teas. I'm continually impressed with how fast it works and the little effort it takes to clean afterwords. It's small size stores well in my cabinets and has essentially replaced my old pots.

I received this as a high school graduation presents and 4 years later it still works. The only complaint I have is how certain food products have to be monitored or the circular heating plate may burn it. I found that thicker substances like chili and thick soups need to be on the lowest heat or a crusty film will develop on the bottom. This is particularly tricky to scrape off, like normal pots and pans.

Other than that, it is perfect for convenience-seekers and impatient cookers.

This product is made under many different names but basically they are all the same.

My original Sunbeam hot pot lasted several years, but it finally died.

In November of 2012 I bought a new one. It worked fine but after three weeks it started leaking.

I took it back and got a replacement one. The replacement lasted two weeks, It started leaking

and a red corrosion could be seen forming around the heating ring looking like rust.

I took it back, I am now on my third pot since November. The salesman tells me this is a new

and improved version. We shall see. Apparently the problem is the seal between the heating ring

and the base of the pot. This seal has failed on both pots I purchased and I am wondering how

long the "new and improved" version will last.

I love the function of the hot pot, very convenient for quickly heating water for coffee or soup.

When my current one fails I will shop for a better and probably more expensive version.

I was looking for a sturdy set of fire place tools, and I found it. Very well made and will last ages.

The quality of the broom has much to be desired. The bristles are very sparse and falling out.

I would suggest looking for a different set if you are going to use it for more than just a decorative piece.

Sunbeam Ceramic Heater for Small Room Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I'm a bit of an expert on electric heaters, as I've owned over 200 rental properties and often heat the vacant ones (to prevent freeze damage) with portable electric heaters, rather than turning on gas to the property and firing up the furnace. I ALSO moved INTO a foreclosed home 3 years ago (I live near the US border with Canada) and the home's oil furnace was shot. As much experience as I had with heating rentals with portable electric heaters, I decided to "temporarily" heat my own home that way until I got around to investing in a new furnace. Well...that was 3 years ago and I'm still heating my home with 5 plug-in, electric heaters...because they've worked well enough that a central furnace still hasn't made it to the top of my priority list. I have owned probably 30 different electric heaters, and early on, I figured most were about the same. Boy was I wrong! Price, quality and effectiveness varies as much as it does when buying a new car! The same power consumption DOES NOT equal the same heat output, and while some heaters last for years and years, working 24/7 during the winter, some brands/models routinely break after a few months of working long hours. This heater is one of the top 3 best I've ever owned, and possibly the best FOR THE MONEY. It's as light-weight and easy to move around as as a jumbo-sized cup of coffee, it puts out more heat than I can BELIEVE for such a small unit, it heats one of my 15x15 rooms to 70 degrees when it is 15 degrees outside, and it hasn't broken, frozen-up, stalled, malfunctioned in ANY way yet! The fan noise is a MILD annoyance, but as another review cited, it is a very soft, consistent, non-offensive "white noise" which some might view as a positive. Great value, great product. No fancy digital readouts or super-accurate "set-the-temperature-you-want-and-go" but if you're looking for a tiny, light, dependable, MONSTER of a heat-producer, this IS your heater. By the way, I have NOTHING to gain from singing this product's praises. I just wish I had read a review like this before wasting my money on so many of the garbage units I've bought.

I just got one of these and it's about as basic as such a product can be. Safety was a significant factor for me I don't want any product that gets glowing hot, so I looked into ceramic heaters with overheating protection.

This ceramic heater works, and puts out a significant quantity of heat. The low power setting uses 1000W to avoid tripping circuit breakers. The high power setting uses 1500W. The "thermostat" just controls the duty cycle (heater turns itself on/off frequently; the lower the setting, the more time the heater is "off")

My only complaint is that the fan is a little loud. Not terribly loud, but certainly audible. Perhaps a larger unit with the same power rating might be quieter.

I purchased this item mainly because of the cost (note: I didn't buy this on Amazon.com for a change; found it 1/2 price in-store at a big-box store).

It does the trick as my workspace (approx. 8 x 12 ft.) is colder than the rest of the office. The heater's low setting is ample to heat my feet when I place it under my desk. The high setting is sufficiently heats my office. The heater blows warm/hot air instantly. Good for the price.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Ceramic Heater for Small Room

On a chilly night, I turn this on and close the door. It cut my heating bill in half. On the few coldest winter nights of the season, it isn't enough. You may need two or three depending on how cold your winters are. You can set the thermostat so that it will shut itself off when it gets warm enough. A ceramic heater heats a whole room evenly like central heat. I got mine at a department store for about $20.

I picked one of these little heaters up at Walmart for $12. I think they might have been slightly more during the dead of winter but not much. It does a pretty good job at heating a small room and is quieter than a big window unit that costs a lot more to run. Now I'll just have to see how long it lasts.

Anyone that's ever been to a Mexican-themed restaurant knows exactly what this item is. This particular one is fairly large and will hold my home-made 8" tortillas nicely. With a damp washcloth (folded twice) and a layer of wax paper on the bottom it will easily hold a dozen home-made 8" tortillas. To reheat tortillas just place the container with the washcloth, wax paper and tortillas into a microwave for 30 seconds to two minutes. (Amount of time depends on: number of tortillas, how cold the whole container is to begin with, and dampness of the washcloth.) Also keeps my tortillas in the refrigerator nicely for a surprisingly-long amount of time.

This thing is good at keeping tortillas warm, but it's not deep enough for a batch of homemade tortillas. It will hold two 10 packs of store-bought tortillas that are thin, but the homemade tortillas, which I can never get as thin as store-bought, keep the lid ajar. The container is deep enough, but the bottom of the lid has a "dip" in it that presses against the tortillas and keeps the lid from closing tightly. What a shame. I guess I'll be purchasing the larger warmer.

With tortillas getting expensive AND being filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils, I finally found a SOFT tortilla recipe that I can easily roll out with a rolling pin. It's 3 cups of self-rising flour, 1 cup of warm milk and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix it into a ball by hand or in a food processor. I don't even have to let them sit for 20 minutes. Just divide into 12 balls, lay a damp paper towel over them as you roll each out (roll from the center out) and then cook for about 30 seconds per side in a skillet. Other tortilla recipes were difficult to roll out and tasted hard like crackers.

This product does what it says....Warms your tortillas. It may not be the most attractive design but it does what it is intended to do. For the price and the performance...why spend more on a fancy schmancy one?

Honest reviews on IMUSA MEXI-1000-TORTW Tortilla Warmer Microwave Safe Base BPA-Free

There are already several reviews which point out the advantages of this product. It keeps your freshly made tortillas warm at the table and lets you reheat the leftovers in the microwave if you have them later. Just include a wet cloth or paper towel to make some steam so that they don't dry out when they're reheated.

Several reviews have complained about the packaging and the difficulty of getting the glue from the label off the outside of the tortilla warmer once the label is removed.

I just bought one of these here at Amazon, and the good news is that in addition to being useful in the ways already noted, the label was not glued on. The tortilla warmer I received came packaged in a cardboard sleeve which simply slid off. Great!

Great product, made in China like everything else, but what's up with the adhesive label covering half of one side. Tried soaking it in hot water, dish detergent, used the back end of a butter knife but NOTHING gets that label off without leaving an adhesice mess behind. Even using Goo Gone (a citrus solvent) it took a good five minutes of aggressive peeling and fingernail work to get it cleaned up. This was completely UNECESSARY! Wake up, Imusa, get a sticker that peels off please!
