 Works with an external timer |
| Review Date: February 21, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Amos D. Meyers, San Diego, CA USA |
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. |

| This is the best space heater you can get. It keeps our room warm and comfy. Since the control is analog it doesn't reset on power failure. |

| I own two Vornado AVH1's and am about to buy my 3rd (for baby's room). I haven't had any problems at all so far. They work exactly as advertised. Tip: I only use the low setting since, IMO as an engineer, this should greatly increase reliability/longevity. But I live in south Texas where a small room can be kept warm on the low setting even in the middle of the winter. |
USA made vortex heat

| Review Date: December 5, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Ben J. Beach, Butler, PA United States |
After dealing with cheap chinese made often unsafe heaters from big box stores, I selected this Vornado heater due to its features and the fact it is made in USA.
I find it heats very well and I like the idea that it will only run at a high enough level to maintain set temp. The dial selector is much easier to understand and use than the digital setup.
The fan is quiet on low, it bit louder on high. I notice the grill on this unit is tighter than on my ATVH unit and airflow seems a bit slower.
Due to the fact the element does not glow red, this heater should last a good long time. It is cool to touch, even at full blast.
For those who insist this unit heat their entire home, be advised it will comfortably heat a 245 sq ft area. I can run this unit in my living room of my townhouse down to about 19 deg outside and it will maintain 70 degrees temp. |
