Product Description
A great money-saving alternative to heating the entire home, this portable electric heater delivers comfortable warmth wherever it's needed most. Designed for a large 16-by-16-foot room with an 8-foot ceiling, the unit's energy-efficient Vortex technology fully circulates warm air throughout the room in just minutes. Choose from two heat settings--low at 800 watts or high at 1500 watts. For added convenience, its automatic climate control adjusts the heat output and fan speed at all times to maintain the set temperature, which means the room doesn't need to cool down in order for the heater to turn back on. Great for at home or at the office, the unit offers simple top-mounted controls, whisper-quiet operation, and a variety of safety features including a cool-touch cabinet and grill, a non-glowing heating element, and automatic shut-off for peace of mind. Made in the USA, the full-room heater measures 11-3/4 by 9-1/2 by 11-7/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

"Great Heater - Worth the price" 2010-06-16
By E. Huelsmeier (Sedona, AZ USA)
We needed a heater that could heat a single room instead of having to run our central heating for just one room. After researching the infrared(IF), 'soft heat' type heaters, like those shown in the Eden-Pure commercials, we tried two. While neither was an Eden-Pure, they were the same technology. One purchased from Sears($300) heated OK but the fan was very noisy so we returned it. The 2nd was a CZ(Comfort Zone) top-of-the-line unit($450) from Earthwise that kept cycling on and off during both the warm-up period & during temperature maintenance, and after getting the run around from their customer service about getting a replacement, even though it was a known problem, we just returned it within the 30-day return period(and still had to pay $40 for return shipping). Then a friend turned me on to the Vornado. After researching the Vornado online, we bought one from Amazon(best price!) and couldn't be more satisfied. The heater does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. It's air circulation design heats the room quickly(better than the IF heaters) and the thermostat maintains the temp nicely. With the exception of a slight fan noise, it performed every bit as well, if not better, than the much more expensive IF units, plus it's much smaller & lighter. And for just over $80, it was a bargain compared to the others we tried(it almost makes up for the return shipping on the IF unit!). We definitely recommend this heater!
"Better fan and circulation than older model" 2010-05-28
By G. Balmes (Washington)
I have an older Vornado ( model EH1-0015 INTELLITEMP) which has to be at least 10 years old. After dragging it out of storage, I noticed than inside the fan, all the workings inside had become caked with dust and grime. Though the unit still worked fine, I decided to retire it for safety reasons. I wanted to stick with the Vornado brand and did some research here on Amazon and finally decided on the AVH2 model. Actually it is very similar to my old unit in that on top, there is a manual setting on the dial of the temperature you wish to keep the room at 65-90 (see my customer pic)a High-Low Heat, and High-Auto Fan. So it appears that this , the AVH2 is just a second or third generation of my older unit. I noticed that this model has a more powerful fan than my older unit and the heating element, thought does not glow red, puts out more heat too. It's now the end of May and have not used this heater other to test the functions (I purchased this on an online auction site) I will offer any updates when colder weather comes but of what I have just noticed on a general inspection, this heater is much improved over it's older sipling.
"Works Great!" 2010-03-15
By Lisa (Philadelphia)
This heater works great in my old drafty house! It really circulates the air and is very quiet!
"I love this heater!" 2010-03-11
By Topaz Fire
This small space heater is very efficient and quiet. The plastic grill never overheats and so is safe to the touch. Also, the room gets nice and toasty without being hot and dry. I've had mine for a while now and although it may seem pricey, it's worth the price. I really do love my heater! :) (The reviewer was compensated for posting this review.

"SOLD! - with many doubts at first waiting to see how long it last" 2010-03-10
By C. Tucker (Texas)
My home office space continues to be colder then remainder of the house. Needed something that would keep the warm air moving, quiet, safe and efficient. I have tried several forced air space heaters (and definitely some of those digital crap shoots) with an additional small fan to keep the air moving. After "blowing" through several space heaters and fans (fan motor in each always first to go) I was looking for a better alternative (safety first and overall comfort with added efficiency) - Found Vornado!
* Blows a constant warm temperature without being too hot
* Slows down automatically at the right time to still keep the gentle comfort of warm air
* It does simply what is stated, you get rid of the constant cycle of HOT to cold and keeps a good warm air circulation
* Easy controls with no guess work
* Quiet (does not come across in conference calls on High and barely can hear on low)
* Does perfect for my needs so far - At this time seems well worth extra cost in efficiency, safety and comfort
* Cannot comment on overall longevity or long term reliability, if does not live up to the extra cost I will update my post.
I do not mind saying, if paying extra for quality product then so be it, MADE IN USA - all the better... it is not every day I can find both, I really hope I will not be let down.
