Editorial Review:
VORNADO VH2 Vortex Heater -The name Vornado combines the words "VORtex" and "torNADO," referring to the company's unique air-moving technology. Vornado's exclusive Vortex Action brings the air to an active, excited state, turning entire rooms into comfort zones. The VH2 Vortex Heater features a top mounted control panel for easy operation and access. Tight grill spirals with a maximum of 1/4-inch between spirals discourage wandering fingers or fabrics Average exit temperature between 120°F & 130°F; exit air will not burn the skin Overheat thermal breaker and backup fuse Non-glowing heat element Sleek, compact case in subtle whitestone color Dimensions - 11.87H x 11.75W x 9.5D; 5.2 pounds shipping weight One year warranty
By projecting a tight "beam" of air across a room, this lightweight, portable heater gently blankets the entire room in warmth. The vortex-action beam forces air towards the room's perimeter, thus heating the entire room, floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Quiet and compact, the heater measures just 12 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. Two heat outputs (1,500 watts on high, 750 watts on low) and a variable heat control provide precise temperature control. Two fan settings permit a choice of continuous action or cycling on and off with the heating element, which is controlled by a thermostat that automatically turns the heater on and off to maintain a selected temperature. All controls are mounted on the heater's top for easy access.
Several features ensure safety: a nonglowing heating element mounted to nonflammable mica, automatic shutoff if the unit tips over or overheats, and a cool-touch cabinet. Because the heater has angled vents, it can be placed with its back close to the wall. Finally, the heater can be set in antifreeze mode, turning on only if a room's temperature falls below 40 degrees F. The heater carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Toasty warm....:
This is a great heater for the money. It's quiet, yet puts out the heat really well with the fan inside. We had one, and purchased another because they work so well!

I bought a black vornado vh2 in dec 2001 and have used it in my bedroom every winter at night . the thermostsat goes to 55 deg on my home furnace at bed time. only problem i have had was the thermostat sticking on the vh2. they use a crude bimetal thermostat on my unit. I took it apart one time and repaired it. it's worked fine since.
it's been a great unit and I would purchase another but after reading reviews I thought maybe they cheapened them up.

It pays for itself. This heater is amazing!:
I don't live in an extremely cold climate, but we have our chilly days and it would cost me a small fortune in natural gas to heat our large home. I bought this Vornado VH2 a year and a half ago at Bed, Bath & Beyond for around $79. I use it to heat the main level of my three story home on the coldest of days. Although it is not intended to heat 1,500 square feet, it does a good job very economically. It takes about 15 minutes to get the warm air moving around enough to actually make the room feel... more info
FANTASTIC!!:
I purchased this for my work space. It is small enough to fit under my desk but powerful enough to heat, not only me, but my co-workers as well. This is a great product!!
