Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute: The Best Bathroom Heater

New York, NY, September 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Bathroom Heater after it outperformed all other models in tests for heating effectiveness, ease of use, and features.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are The Best.

The Best model raised the ambient temperature in the bathroom by 16.5%, far superior than the 9.6% increase generated by its closest competitor. The Best Bathroom Heater warmed all areas of the bathroom equally, unlike lesser models that produced 20º F swings from floor to ceiling.

"The Best Bathroom Heater raised the ambient temperature 9º F in only five minutes, thanks to its powerful 1,500-watt heating element and a fan that quickly circulates heat," explained Sheri Camarata, Product Research Supervisor for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.

Scoring highest for ease of use, The Best model has an easy-to-set digital thermostat, a timer that automatically turns the unit on or off, and a detailed instruction manual with photographs that depict how to wall-mount the unit.

Its superior features include an ALCI plug that automatically shuts off power if it contacts water, an integrated handle, a built-in digital clock, and a "fan only" setting.

The Best Bathroom Heater is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $39.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/79368 or call 1-800-543-3366.
