Vornado EH1-0039-06 SoleAire Personal Foot Heater and Fan

I hope this site keeps these for sale indefinitely. I love my footrest heater. Just the right shape and the warm air in the winter is very soothing. I am diabetic and have troublesome feet. Also in the summer it can blow cool air on your feet. Whoever designed this really did some thinking. It s almost perfect!

What a deal! It s about the same price as some of the cheap plastic foot rests from the catalogs, but provides a high/low heater and a fan, too. Also, it doesn t slide around like some of the others and is very comfy. Only complaint is that it s a little too easy to accidentally bump the switches. I bought two and am very pleased.

How many of you have stuck a space heater under your desk to keep your feet warm? The average space heater just really isn t made for that. They usually put out way too much heat, take up a lot of space, use too much power, and create a fire hazzard. But this little gem is perfect for those of us that like warm toes in the winter. It is a much lower power output than a regular heater, so no scorched toes, and no need to be turning it on and off all the time. On low heat mode, it puts out just enough to feel warm. On high, it is enough to defrost cold feet after being outside. Since it doubles as a foot rest, it serves a purpose even if you have it turned off. With the low power and everything safely enclosed, the fire hazzard should be much lower as well. I wish I had thought of the idea. I did ding one point on the ease of use category because the switches are a bit small to be able to reliably activate with your toes, and the high/low switch is very sensitive and will flip to no-heat mode easily if you bump it. It s also a little quot;tippy quot; if you rest your foot too close to the edge. Overall though, I think its a great product and exactly what I was looking for.
