Vornado Vortex Space Heater

Yep. The dirty truth is that sometimes you want individualized heat in a particular space, and this electric space heater (gasp!) is the most energy efficient option. But don't feel guilty -- using a space heater instead of heating the whole house saves energy and money. This is the one we recommend.

This pint size powerhouse gets heat where you are, and keeps it there using as little power as possible. Unlike conventional heaters that warm the spot directly in front of the heating coils, the Vortex has a thermostatic remote control that can be placed anywhere in a room to sense conditions. The heater runs that data through its digital brain, and then directs the heating core and fan to circulate warmth around the entire room.

The Vortex space heater is an energy efficient way to reach out of the way places that are hard to heat. For those spots -- corners of the attic or the basement where your office is, an electric heater (that's right) is more efficient and less expensive.

This heater, because it's so smart, is great at producing amazingly comfortable heat that surrounds you rather than just blows at your feet. You'll feel warm immediately and you don't need to sit with it beneath your chair. The touch screen control panel makes adjustments easy.
