Since you are here to read our second product, for your convenience, it is not a wall-mounted bathroom heater. Instead, a ceiling heater coming with three unique facilities -which few companies offer. The benefits are; fan, light, and heater. The fan ventilates the inside air pretty good.
Likewise, the fan, the light, can cover a 65 sq, ft bathroom. So it goes for the heater also.
A most important feature of the heater is; it can heat the room quickly. Now, maybe are you thinking about electric efficiency? Well, in this case, you don’t have to pay a lot of money behind the electric bills.

It does not only save the electric budget but also protects the maintenance cost. For example, the stainless steel grills are rust-resistant, though people are complaining about the top front grills -for being funky.
Still, we prefer this heater because of its easy on/off and installation. This heater can also warm your bedroom or workstation up. Thus, you can either fit it in the bathroom or private room — indeed the right product within a budget-friendly price.

- This product is ENERGY STAR certified and complies with ASHRAE 62.2, LEED, California Title 24, Washington VIAQ codes and standards.

We were talking about the options. And Panasonic has made this more fully. Features like light, fan, and heater are a real example of enough choice. An all in one element – that can save you from thousands of hassle.
For example, you don’t have to repair this heater over and over for overheating. Maybe it is unbelievable for some of you. Truth is; yes, Panasonic has researched the competitors well. That is why they could invent an electric efficient, and well ventilation supported heater.
The light of this heater is bright enough to cover your bathroom. But there is one drawback, which is; Panasonic has used an expensive GU35 bulb. This type of bulb soaks a bit more electric power. But don’t worry, if you want you can replace the bulb.
This alternative option can save your bills a lot more. Like the bills, this heater can protect your bathroom from humidity, mold, and air pollution for a fantastic ventilation facility. To provide this facility, Panasonic Fv-22VHL2 takes more than one minute -after turning on the switch.

Broan Model 157 Ceiling Heater
Features and specifications:
- 1250 watt 120 volt
- Radiant heat from an enclosed metal-sheathed element
- Low-profile housing with satin-finish aluminum grille extends only 2 3/4-inch from ceiling
- Mounts easily to any standard 3 1/2-inch or 4-Inch round or 4-Inch octagonal ceiling electrical box
- Minimum 15 amp circuit required
Starting our hardest try with a low-budget ceiling heater. You can use it as a supplement of the master bath. Because it needs only a 15-amp circuit to run and takes a little space to get installed. From that least space, it can heat a particular area because of having a metal-sheathed element.
The motor which produces the heat sounds noisy for us. We don’t know; was it happen for all users or us? We did not like the sound, maybe Broan could make it better. Still, a positive thing is their aluminum grill.
These grills are rust and corrosion-resistant. Including this durable facility, the heater offers an infrared technology. This means the heat will spread equally. For that reason, the electric bill does not exceed the budget.
Although this heater can reduce the bills, it cannot evaluate your valuable office, school time. It takes more than a minute to heat up, even if you keep the wall controller at two o clock speed. In a nutshell, this device is suitable for supplementary purposes.
But there is a better option than this heater, which is FFDDY. You will know about the heater after short pros and cons.
Things you may like
- Supplementary heater.
- Easy to install.
- Electric efficient.
Things you may not like
- The motor does not last longer than three years.

A portable heater is better than a supplementary ceiling heater. How? If we compare FFDY and BROAN, then we will see that; this FFDY offers extensive ranged facilities to its users. Features like: quick heating, lightweight, overheat protection, and auto turn off can make your winter more comfortable.
Besides these private facilities, it has durable frames -that are rust-resistant. This heater has electric efficiency as well as durability. So, you don’t have to think about bills. Instead, you need to think about minor drawbacks.
Drawbacks like, if your bathroom is vast enough, then it cannot cover the entire room. Plus, it sounds noisy a bit. After considering all the negative sides, people prefer this for winter. If the drawbacks turn your mood off, then check the Lasko review.
It might help you. Before that, reconsider this heater, please. That is why here are the pros and cons.

Lasko Bathroom Heater (CD08200)
Features and specifications:
- This little heater quickly warms up the bathroom
- Powered by an energy efficient 1500-watt ceramic heating element with 3 heat settings
- Attractively designed and at less than 8 in. tall with a tiny 6.25 in. x 6.25 in
- Comes with an integrated ALCI safety plug
This heater could be a good alternative to the FFDY portable heater because we got some great features. All these features will be discussed below, including the negative sides. So, the positive things are:
It has three different heat control options. One is “1-hour heat” control, and it will be shut down after an hour. The next one is “high heat,” which does not shut down on its own. And the third one is “low heat.” So, a user gets enough option to select their desired heat.
To support user demand, Lasko does not eat a massive amount of electricity. Instead, it saves your bills from the regular portable heater by providing quick warmth. As a portable heater, it works like magic for many of us.
But, while it was serving the heat, vibrating like hell. We did not like this feature because it could be removed by using non-skid. Plus, Lasko could add an air filter to catch the lints. Overall, it is, in some cases, better than FFDY. Here is why?
Things you may like
- Three years of warranty
- ALC safety plug.
- Adjustable.
Things you may not like
- It vibrates during the time of heating.

- The safety tip-over switch prevents accidental fires or burns
- With its cool-to-the-touch exterior and recessed handle, you can easily move this heater from one location to another, without the risk of mishaps
Our last two reviews are especially for those -who want cheap bathroom heaters. And Rosewill is one of them. They provide comparatively conventional heaters than other short-living heater manufacturers.
The best things about this heater are; it has the adjustable thermostat controlling system. So, you can easily select the desired heat from low to high. During the highest temperature, there is a chance of overheating and fire.
That is why the manufacturer has added a tip-over switch to prevent the unexpected problem. Though it has the tip-over switch, it sounds a bit loud. Apart from the issue, you can consider this device.
Before jumping over the last review, check the pros and cons of the Rosewill heater.
Things you may like

- Bright 100-Watt incandescent lighting provides clean, even light for pleasant surroundings and enough light to focus on the details
So far, this is not up to the mark type heater from Broan. Don’t we know why people are rating this highly? Now, why have we added this to our list? Well, it is perfect for 65sq.ft bathroom. If you buy this for your bathroom, it will work three ways for you.
For example, the light is good to cover the regular activities. But the manufacturer could use an alternative light. There are several electric efficient lights as far as we know. Still, the heater has two positive things.
An exhaust fan, which can keep the inside air inline. And the heater to cover a chilly morning. These two earlier mentioned facilities are suitable for a small bathroom. If you still intend to learn more about the heater, click the amazon link. But read the pros and cons of firsts.
