Touchscreen-equipped Vornado TVH 600 is the world's smartest space heater

vornado_tvh600.jpg

Forget that cheap space heater that falls over and burns the house down. It's the 21st century now, my friends. That's why Vornado, maker of super-quiet fans and heaters of all shapes and sizes, decided to modernize the lowly space heater, giving this Vornado TVH 600 a touchscreen panel on top and a fancy remote control that'll keep your room at a constant temperature.

That remote control serves as a thermostat, letting you set your desired temperature and place it next to you in the room. Then, it communicates with the TVH 600, precisely regulating the temperature to stay within a degree or two. This automagic coolness will cost you, though — this silvery hotshot will run you a cool $200.

We especially like the Vornado's Vortex Technology. We've used two of its other products, and they all have this uncanny ability to quietly project a column of air all the way across a big room. Besides, in this era of dwindling energy supplies, it's always more economical to heat just one room than an entire house.
