Summary
I live in a very old house and often times in the middle of the Chicago winter it gets very drafty in our rooms. We have purchased several portable heaters in all styles for our childrens rooms to keep them warmer. The Vornado hands down is my favorite portable heater.

The Vornado compared with other models
We have owned the stand-up style, the long radiator-style and the Vornado style. I have to say, this is definitely my favorite heater. The others appear slightly more advanced in terms of programming, buttons and digital display. However, in most cases, I found those confusing to use and easy to reset with kids around. So, I would take the Vornado one any day. The Vornado has a turn button to control the temperature and is very simple to use.

Heating
The Vornado heater was able to heat a 1,000 sqft room when put on high. Shocking! I don't recommend it for an area that large, but it goes to show you that for a small unit, the Vornado has a lot of horsepower.

I LOVE Vornado air circulator fans. I didn't realize Vornado made a room sized heater though. This is going to be at the top of my winter shopping list! Thanks so much.
