Which Vornado Whole-Room Heater to Buy: AVH10, MVH, TAVH10 and More Compared
We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. Our picks are based on the data shown, not on what pays us.
The short answer: The AVH10 at $99.99 is our top pick: it pairs Auto Climate with whole-room air circulation for $25.00 less than the TAVH10 and the same price as the metal VMHi300. If you just want the lowest entry price, the MVH or VH200 at $74.99 saves you $25.00; if you want the most features in this lineup, the TAVH10 or VMHi500 at $139.99 is the step up.
- Best overall: AVH10 Whole Room Heater with Auto Climate — Auto Climate control plus whole-room circulation at $99.99, matching the VMHi300's price while undercutting the TAVH10 by $40.00. See price at vornado.com

VMHi500 Metal Heater with Auto Climate Control
How we chose
We started with price, since that is the clearest line between these heaters. The MVH and the VH200 sit at $74.99, the lowest in the lineup. The AVH10 and the VMHi300 both come in at $99.99, and the VC-02 is $129.99. At the top, the TAVH10 and the VMHi500 are both $139.99.
From there we weighed the stated features against those prices, favoring Auto Climate and whole-room circulation per dollar. Auto Climate appears on the AVH10, the TAVH10 and the VMHi500. The AVH10 pairs it with whole-room air circulation for $25.00 less than the TAVH10 and the same price as the metal VMHi300, which is why it comes out ahead for us. The TAVH10 and the VMHi500 cost $40.00 more than the AVH10 and carry the most features in the lineup.
For the lowest entry price, the MVH or the VH200 at $74.99 saves $25.00 against the AVH10. Every model here is listed at its 90-day low, so the prices we compared are the lowest each has been over that window.
Who should skip these
If you only need to warm the spot right in front of you, these whole-room models are more than you need. Every heater here is built to circulate air through a room rather than aim heat at one place, and you pay for that. The MVH and the VH200 are the lowest entry prices at $74.99 each, and the AVH10, VMHi300, VC-02, TAVH10 and VMHi500 run from $25.00 to $65.00 more than those two.
Skip these if you want features that aren't listed here. What we can tell you is what each price buys: Auto Climate on the AVH10 at $99.99, the TAVH10 at $139.99 and the VMHi500 at $139.99; a metal build on the VMHi300 at $99.99 and the VMHi500; ceramic construction on the VC-02 at $129.99. The TAVH10 and VMHi500 cost the same $139.99, $40.00 more than the AVH10 and $65.00 more than the MVH or VH200.
If a single room is already covered, or a smaller personal heater would do, none of these is the right buy. The AVH10 at $99.99 sits $25.00 above the MVH and VH200 and the same as the VMHi300, so there is no reason to step up to a larger model unless you want the whole-room circulation these are made for.
How to choose the right one
Start with your budget. The MVH and VH200 are $74.99. The AVH10 and VMHi300 are $99.99. The VC-02 is $129.99. The TAVH10 and VMHi500 are $139.99. Every one of these is at its 90-day low, so the price you see is the price the lineup has held.
Then decide whether Auto Climate and a metal housing matter to you. Auto Climate appears on the AVH10, TAVH10 and VMHi500. Metal housing appears on the VMHi300 and VMHi500. The AVH10 is the least expensive way to get Auto Climate, at $25.00 more than the MVH. The VMHi300 is the least expensive metal option, at $25.00 more than the MVH and the same price as the AVH10. If you want both, the VMHi500 at $139.99 is $40.00 more than the AVH10 and $40.00 more than the VMHi300.
The VC-02 at $129.99 sits $30.00 above the AVH10 and $10.00 below the TAVH10. The TAVH10 and VMHi500 cost the same, so at that price the choice comes down to Auto Climate with the TAVH10 or Auto Climate with the metal VMHi500.
