I've decided to buy a Vornado space heater for my 12 x 12 bedroom. It
advertises it has superior heat distribution. My current heater isn't
doing well.
Anyone find out differently? Do they lie!?
TIA

We found some conflicting reviews for Vornado Vortex portable heaters.
The Vornado VH2 (*est. $95) and Vornado EH1-0028-06 (also known as the
DVH or DVTH) (*est. $115) are very similar. The main difference is that
the DVH space heater has push-button controls and temperature readout,
while the cheaper VH2 has knob controls. Both have a fan that circulates
heated air (this type of heater is called forced convection). The
Vornado DVH is a favorite at Good Housekeeping magazine, where editors
say it heats a room quickly. However, owners posting comments to
Amazon.com say the Vornado space heaters can be fragile. Some report
breaking handles and knobs; others indicate that the fan stopped
working. Reviews for the more expensive Vornado space heater are better
overall.
I don't know why you are posting here when it's advertising that
sways you.

I have an older version of the EH1. I use several months out of the year to
supplement heat in a north-facing 12 X 12 room that's distant from the
furnace. I've found it to be quiet, durable and very efficient.
