#6.) Vornado Whole Room Metal Heater (VMH300)
This attractive heater is a bit bigger than some of the other models we’ve looked at, but it’s just that bit better at heating up a whole room too! This heater has two heat settings ( 750W and 1500W ) as well as an adjustable thermostat , so it’s got the required power to keep you warm. The construction is powder-coated steel , with all metal control dials and an integrated handle.

It also has a dust reducing inlet grille, cord storage compartment AND a 5-year satisfaction guarantee.

A powerful personal space heater, with a compact construction! The upscale design of this product will complement any room, and its small size means that it won’t intrude on your home design or take up much space at all. We think this heater is perfect for the office , where cold fingers can be the bane of keyboard typers the world over! A safe ceramic heating element also has a fan for quick heating of the space, and you can choose from two colors: black or white , depending on what fits best with your environment. Air is forced through the heating coils instead of dispersing naturally, which makes the heating process much quicker. It is marketed as a whisper quiet heater, so it won’t disturb you – another reason we think it’s perfect for the office. It has two heat settings and a cool touch exterior for safety. Another safety feature is the Overheat shut off function, which is an essential.
- Pros: incredibly quiet, a lot of heat for a compact product
- Cons: no thermostat, control knob can overheat, can be tricky to move
