At first I was against it bc of the price but DH really pushed for it (and he is a cheap ass)!</p> <p>But the Vornado one recommended looks good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354525 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:48:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2354525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: not sure how much the one you're looking at is. But have you considered a factory refurbished Dyson mode? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354522 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:47:03 +0000 kodybear 2354522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: we have this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Vortex-Automatic-Climate-Control/dp/B000GLHVZA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Vortex-Automatic-Climate-Control/dp/B000GLHVZA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8</a></p> <p>i definitely recommend it! dd has been using hers for 3 years and its still going strong. it has the tip over protection, cool touch, shutoff features, etc. i would love the dyson bladeless heater if it wasn't $$$, esp since we'd need 2. haha someday maybe.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354515 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:43:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2354515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: same! My brother got it for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354514 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:43:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2354514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: yeah, if it's just us, we just suck it up! but now that we have DD we want to make sure she is warm</p> <p>@kodybear: yes the climate control ones are what we're looking to get! </p> <p>@BandDmommy: @Happygal: I def agree that is always a certain risk to these things.. The one we want does have a lot of good safety features like auto shut off, tip over protection, cool touch, etc. </p> <p>@Freckles: that thing is amazing! just can't swing it hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354499 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:37:26 +0000 Freckles 2354499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: we use the Dyson heat fan for the kids' rooms, which is bladeless and turns off as soon as it falls over (which can happen with kids). It turns on/off according to what the temp is set to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354064 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:00:09 +0000 BandDmommy 2354064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I've heard too many stories of fires to ever use one. But each to their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354062 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:59:16 +0000 regberadaisy 2354062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely space heater is cheaper. Just make sure to get one that shuts off automatically after reaching a certain temp and I think oscillating is a key feature worth paying for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354054 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:56:38 +0000 kodybear 2354054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have been using space heaters since dd was born so 3 years and i def like that vs heating the house. their rooms are small so if we turn the heat on in the house, their rooms heat up fast and too much. so we've been using space heaters with climate control so it just maintains a temp. i actually think it costs more for the space heater here but our electricity rates are high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354051 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:54:24 +0000 Happygal 2354051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I was going to ask about the safety of them. I've been warned about the danger of space heaters over the years and have become paranoid b/c of it, but don't really know if true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2354032 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:42:45 +0000 birdofafeather 2354032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our old house was drafty and we had crappy on wall heaters that basically did nothing, so we got a space heater for DD's room and just wore sweaters and socks in the rest of the house... our house was freezing though! like 50/60s, so the space heater was a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2353958 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:08:12 +0000 BandDmommy 2353958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I wouldn't because of how unsafe space heaters can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2353944 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:03:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2353944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: sweet! there's def some draft from our windows, so this sounds like the perfect plan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2353929 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:59:23 +0000 gingerbebe 2353929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents run a space heater if its super cold, but most of the time they just wear slippers in the house and use electric blankets for their bed.

We have an old house with original windows. Heating the house is pricey. We lower the house temp to 60 at night and keep the kids' rooms warmer at 68. We also bring the heater into the bathroom too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-getting-a-space-heater-for-bedroom-and-keep-the-rest-of-the-house-colder#post-2353846 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:26:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2353846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: It works out better than cranking up the whole house right?
