Portable Bathroom Space Heaters
There are portable bathroom space heaters available and in an minute we will
give you a run down of each one. But we do want to stress that regardless if
your portable bathroom space heater has a gfci plug or not you need to be super
careful. Here is a link
that explains the safety precautions you should take when using a portable
bathroom space heater.
Just so you know, they do make a portable wall mount space heater
(Sea Breeze Off The Wall portable heater) and we have that
review below. Obviously when you are using a heater in the bathroom make sure
your heating unit is located away from a water or damp source. Keep it away
from the bathtub and sink as much as possible. Humidity is a killer and it can
quickly become saturated with water if you take a long hot shower. That is why
it's very important to have a gfi plugin as well as a gfci plug or something
similar on your heating cord.
Important Safety Considerations in 3 Portable Bathroom Space Heaters
We give you the top 3 choices to compare from in the bathroom heater, the
price of each and a link to each including the wall heater. When you shop
around for that electric heater keep in mind that you should be able to find
free shipping. I know Amazon offers free shipping because we purchased our
ceramic space heater from them and we received free shipping. And just
remember to get that GFI plug in and don't touch the heater
when your hands are wet.
In a bathroom you might have two separate fans running at the same time.
Your whole house fan and your exhaust fan. Just remember the exhaust fan takes
away heat and your whole house fan moves air or circulates air in the home. If
your bathroom space heater is having a tough time keeping up just turn off both
the exhaust fan and the whole house fan and you should be good to go. If you do
not have central heat don't worry about this comment.
Top 3 Portable Bathroom Space Heaters
Well here are the top 3 portable bathroom space heaters in no particular
order. Based on the reviews you will read and your personal preference you
should find the perfect fan and space heater for your situation. Notice not one
of them is a baseboard heating unit.
- Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater
- Holmes HFH442-UM Heater Fan with Adjustable
Thermostat and ALCI Plug
- DeLonghi TRN0812T Portable Oil-Filled
Radiator with Programmable Timer
The Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermoFlo bathroom space heater
provides something the others don't. It can be mounted on the wall. Since it is
only 9.5 inches by 8 inches it can easiy be hung on the bathroom wall. This
1500 watt wall heating unit can quickly heat your small bathroom and can still
be called a fan heater because it will pump out some awesome heat. One
other great feature is that you don't have to worry about stumbling over it or
the power cord since it is mounted on the wall.
The second portable bathroom space heater is from Holmes. It is called the
Holmes HFH442-UM Heater Fan with Adjustable
Thermostat and ALCI Plug. This little compact heater from Holmes is
powerful with 3 automatic heat settings which should help you find the precise
temperature control you desire. This is accomplished with the one touch system
they have incorporated into this unit. This space heater will shut off
automatically if it overheats. I am sure you've seen the ALCI plug ins before
because it seems like all the new curling irons and hair dryers come with it.
They have a resent button and the plug is just a lot bigger than a normal plug
in. As for compact space heating here are the dimensions: 10.2 x 6.4 x 12.4
inches and it weighs 3.4 pounds.
The final portable bathroo heater is the DeLonghi TRN0812T Portable Oil-Filled Radiator with
Programmable Timer. This unit is a little different from the others
because it is oil filled which means it might take a little longer to get the
heat going but it will be more energy efficient because the oil once it reaches
it's temperature setting will stay warmer longer thus allowing the automatic
switch to stay off longer than other heaters. It is a 110V powercord with a GFI
plug in which makes it safe for bathroom use. It can pump out about 5,000 BTU
and will easily heat a room 9x12 feet.
