Heats small rooms thoroughly and quickly...
For a such a small heater, I'm amazed by how quickly and completely it heats a small room. I can go to any corner of the room and feel the warmth...not just in the area of the heater. Even the farthest corner of the room, which impressed me.
It's very quiet, even on the highest setting and it takes up very little space, being a tower heater.
You feel the heat right away and in a few minutes a cool room will warm up. It has an 140-degrees exit air temperature to keep the room comfortably warm.
There's a safety feature on the bottom of the unit where if the heater tips or is moved, it turns off. This gives you peace of mind if you have kids or pets that could possibly tip the heater.
Other safety features include: 'Tight Grill Spacing' so fingers can't be stuck inside, a 'Cool Touch Case', 'Auto-Shut Off' if the airflow becomes blocked or the heater becomes overheated.
For settings, there are 2 heat settings (450 watts and 900...
Great compact heater for small area
The Vornade SRTH small tower heater works quite well for providing heat in a small room / area.
What I like about this product :
- the unit is very compact (measures 1 foot in height and 6" for the base diameter). It can be conveniently placed in areas like top of the desk or on a book shelve
- the heater provides pretty good heating coverage with its V-Flow circulation. It also provides immediate heat to the room as opposed to the slower oil-Filled radiator units.
- more energy efficient that the 1500 W space heaters. By measuring with a Kill-a-watt power meter, the unit uses about 19 W in the fan only mode, 460 W in low heat setting, and 880 W in high heat setting. With a $ 0.24 / Kwh electricity rate, it would cost approximately $ 0.21 per hour of usage. The actual electricity rate would vary based on the area we live.
- safety features such as automatic safety shut-off and tip over protection.
What could be better for this product...
Perfect for Gentle Office Heating
I always keep a small heater next to my desk to warm my feet. The heater I have been using is the top-rated (Consumer Reports) Holmes HFH436WGL-UM Heater Fan with Bathroom Safe Plug. The problem I have with that heater is that it is too loud and too hot. You can only turn it off or on (it has a thermostat) but not lower the heat or air flow. It's a great heater but too much for my feet.
This heater, however is perfect for my office for the following reasons.
- Size: it is an inch taller and six inches narrower than the holmes heater and takes up little space next to my desk.
- Sound: very quiet.
- Heat: two air speeds and it subtly warms rather than getting really hot like the holmes heater. That doesn't mean it can't heat the room - just does it more gently and slowly.
- Company reputation: I already have several Vornado fans and they are running as well as when I bought...
