Vornado VHEAT Vintage Heater vs Lasko Elite Ceramic Tower Heater

Buy the Vornado VHEAT if you want a small, sturdy metal heater that looks good in a living room and warms a spot near you. Buy the Lasko Elite if you want a tower that heats a room more evenly and comes with a remote, timer and oscillation. The Vornado has the better build and the stronger design following, but owners often call its heat weak. The Lasko moves more air across a taller ceramic element and is easier to control from across the room.

• Choose the Vornado VHEAT if you want a compact, pivoting metal heater with a vintage look and simple dial controls for a bedroom or den.
• Choose the Lasko Elite if you want a taller tower with a remote, timer and oscillation to heat a home office or open room.
