Small Energy Efficient Heater - Vornado Introduces VH101 Personal Heater

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 30, 2009 – Dubbed the "VH101" - This little heater represents the first time Vornado has taken it's signature Vortex "Whole Room" heater design, and downsized it for personal use.

“This is a product that will sit on your desk, or bedside table all winter long- so the aesthetics are important.” Said Vornado Engineer Gary Israel. “We weren’t impressed by the performance of existing small heaters – small size should not equate to small performance, and we’ve addressed that with the Personal Heater.”


Boasting deep pitch blades and the Vornado AirTensity grill- the Personal Heater circulates air around your personal space in similar fashion to how Vornado Whole Room heaters distribute heat throughout an entire room.

The Personal Heater Surrounds You In Heated Air using Vortex Action

The personal heater is Vornado's response to frequent consumer requests for a pint sized winter performer. Standing only 7" tall, the Vornado VH101 Personal Heater fits nearly anywhere- perfect for use in the office. Sleek styling makes it a welcome addition to any desktop or bedside table, and can be used under the desk to prevent cold feet.

The VH101 features 2 heat settings- high cranks out 750 Watts, and 375 on low - giving you control of your heat and allowing you to avoid annoying circuit overloads. A “fan only” mode allows this circulator to comfort even on temperate days. Safety was a key consideration for the Vornado Design Team, and the Personal Heater features a cool touch case that doesn’t get hot even after extended operation, as well as a tipover switch that immediately cuts the heat and fan if the heater tips.

The VH101 Personal Heater is now available on Vornado's website at http://www.vornado.com and at the following retailers:


Ace, Bed Bath & Beyond, Benny’s, Bernies, Fry’s Electronics, Frontgate, Gracious Home, Hammacher Schlemmer, J&R Music
