Vornado VH240 Whole Room Heater vs Shark TurboBlade Cool+Heat

The Shark TurboBlade Cool+Heat is the more versatile pick: it is a bladeless tower that runs as a 10-speed fan and a ceramic heater with a thermostat, and its huge owner base rates it highly. The Vornado VH240 is a simpler, focused space heater that uses Vortex air circulation to move warm air through a room, and owners rate it well too. Buy the Shark if you want one unit for summer and winter with remote control and auto temperature hold. Buy the Vornado if you mainly want steady whole-room heat and prefer a compact, no-frills heater.

• Choose the Vornado VH240 if you want a compact dedicated heater that circulates warm air through a room and you don't need a fan for summer.
• Choose the Shark TurboBlade Cool+Heat if you want one bladeless tower that cools in summer, heats in winter, holds a set temperature and comes with a remote.
