bit-tech Shopping: Vornado DVTH Digital Vortex Heater

Rating: 10

Time with product: 5 Days

Strengths: Very quiet, very simple and easy to use. Efficient. Seems very safe.

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: Simple, easy-to-use, effective product. Seems very safe. Very effective heating a modest space. Once the room(very quickly) reaches the target temperature, the heater shifts into a very, very quiet mode -- barely audible. I love this product for its simplicity and quiet, safe operation.

Time with product: 1 Week

Strengths: Works quickly and quietly

Weaknesses: Not intended for large areas..needs frequent cleaning

Summary: I bought two heaters the same day...one priced well under $30 and the Vornado at about $70. THe cheaper heater,a Honeywell, was just that. THe Vornado VTH is incredibly quiet and warmed the room in minutes. The whole piece stays cool to the touch and the blower doesnt blast the air at you.You do need to keep after the grill for dust...I will buy another one!

Strengths: Heats room quickly. Easy to use. Compact.

Weaknesses: The thermometer overestimates room temperature.

Summary: Vornado DVH is compact yet effective. It heats the room quickly, so it's good for the bathroom on cold winter mornings. The DVH has a built-in room thermometer that is intended to let the heater maintain a target temperature. This is a good idea, but the thermometer overestimates room temp because it is located on the heater. I have no other complaints about this product. I would buy it again.
