Old man winter has arrived on the east coast and he is doing so with a vengeance. Here we are barely into December and we are already looking at wind chills around zero and a foot or more of snow. Which can only mean two things: First of all, you are too late if you are looking for a snow shovel and, secondly, you should probably think about a space heater to help lower utility bills and keep the house warm.

We have a Delonghi heater for our family room and it does a great job of keeping the room warm while not killing us on heating bills. But what about smaller rooms, such as the bathroom. My wife likes the bathroom to be somewhere around tropical and oven like when she gets up in the morning. Which was precisely what lead me to purchase the Vornado DVH Vortex Heater.

The DVH is just 12″ x 12″ x 9″ so it small enough that it fits perfectly in the bathroom. The DVH contains air intake valves on the sides that also allow you to place it flush against a wall without worrying about malfunction or anything else. The heat is then transmitted up, out, and down to heat the room evenly. The heat is also quite intense as the DVH heats the blown air to around 125 degrees and does so quietly enough that you barely realize that it is on. Additionally, the DVH has three settings (High, low, medium) that allow you to control how large of a room you are heating and how warm you would like the room to be.

Which leads me to the digital temperature control. While I am not so sure what makes this a “digital” wonder, the controls are helpful and useful. You have the high, low, medium settings that are fairly standard on all heaters. You also have a button than can change the temperature setting degree by degree, just like in some automobiles. Simply set the temperature and the DVH will maintain that temperature. The final digital option available is the “fan only” option. I am not real sure why this is provided as it really does not do too much for us.

This sounds good, but also dangerous, right? Well, it is not dangerous. You can back the heater up to a wall because of the side air intake valves and because the air is forced away from the heater. In other words, there are no parts that get exceedingly hot to the touch. The DVH also has a back lighted power switch that comes on when the heater is in use. Finally, the heater does not have any metal parts that can get hot or cut and is solidly constructed.

Yet, the bottom line is whether or not the Vornado DVH does the job it was purchased to do- heat our bathroom to tropical temperatures during the cold winter mornings. The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, I typically shower, shave, eat breakfast and then come back up to brush my teeth and put on my makeup (Kidding, just seeing if you are paying attention.) and most mornings I have to turn the DVH off. My wife will get up and within 10 minutes (The time I am away, though I suspect that it heats up much faster than this.) the room is boiling hot. If I do not turn the DVH off, I might have to shower again before going to work.

We are thrilled with the Vornado DVH Vortex Heater and highly recommend it to anyone. Keep in mind that heaters in bathrooms should be kept on the floor in order to assure that they do not somehow find their way into a sink, tub, or shower.
