    5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, effective local heat!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024
    We live in a older house in Wisconsin (BRRR!), and use this heater in a corner that just runs cold. We are very happy with this heater! We run it on low (500W?) most of the time. It is super quiet, and puts out the perfect amount of heat for our spot. It is tall enough that you can hit the controls without bending over too far. One thing to know -- it you lift it from the floor (even a half inch) the tip-over switch will turn it off. Sliding it across the floor is fine. A simple product, nicely designed and built. Works great for us!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fans - I have 6 Vornado heaters
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2024
    The media could not be loaded.
    I bought into Vornado when my kids were babies. Probably about 4-5 years ago I bought two of the child proof ones and for our kids’ rooms, and we still use them in our their rooms today (they are 5 and 8 now).

    As gas prices have surged here in California, I bought 4 additional fans of this model with the thermostat for the other areas of our house - our master bedroom, living room, playroom, and front room. The fans are super quiet and pump out a lot of heat. We usually set them to 71 on high to keep our house cozy, and it’s still hundreds of dollars cheaper than gas.

    I saw some poor reviews so I wanted to share my experience. I haven’t had any issues with any of my 6 Vornado fans. Our power buttons work great. We run them all the time. The fire protection feature is solid. And if you have little ones, check out the childproof version - they work well (ours don’t have a thermostat - you just set the heat on a scale of 1-6 or something like that). My only complaint is they aren’t WiFi enabled, but I don’t see a lot of heaters with that feature (at least in this price range), I’m guessing for safety reasons.

    Overall great value for the price. My family is warm and happy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works well.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024
    I've bought 3 of these to supplement the whole house heat in my renovated 1948 cottage. Since the HVAC is 44 years old (and still running fine), it is not very efficient.

    The porch was converted to a laundry room and could be a meat locker in the winter. One of these, set at 66, keeps that space comfortable when we're at freezing and below.

    Another one is in the living room (18'x12') and the 3rd one is in the renovated attic space. With these I can keep the whole house system set to 66 and just make the room I'm in a little cozy.

    1. No set up. Literally plug it in, set it and turn it on.
    2. Heats a nice sized room very well.
    3. I didn't notice any annoying noise. It's a fan so there's that but no rattling.
    4. Light weight and easily moved.

    No complaints. Heats well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Potential Fire Danger If Tip Over Protection Circumvented. Restrictive Airflow/Overheat Safety ?.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021
    I'm updating this review after having spoken with a manager. He understood my concerns, and offered a replacement with a model that uses the style of tip over protection our original unit has (in fact, its very like our original heater). I may take them up on this.

    But since that conversation, I've looked at this heater more closely, and while my concern is still there, its not as urgent as it was.

    This unit has a very stable base. It is very difficult to knock over. When we checked it out further, even though you can cause it to come back on once tipped over by pressing in the plunger button, there seems to be little heat. We need to test this out further.

    In use, it heats the space well. We were in subfreezing temperatures, snow and ice, in our RV for a few days. We used this during the day, and pretty much saved the propane furnace for the night. (We did have the furnance on during the day, but it was never triggered by the thermostat as the Vornado kept things comfortable.) We didn't even need to run the Vornado at full power. We are talking about a 38ft class A and it was comfortable from front to back.

    So I have to say, other than the tip over protection concern (a situation unlikely to gappen, but you don't want to be that 1 in a thousand), I am impressed with this unit.

    Need to test the restrictive airflow/overheat feature a bit more. If that really is not working, I'm getting this replaced.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW - tempered:

    I have been a customer of Vornado, using a heater and fans, for 2 decades. I always felt I could trust the safety features of their units to protect me and my property against mishaps caused by space heaters, such as preventing a fire if the heater is tipped over.

    But I question this design..

    Vornado has changed the way the tip over cutoff function works.

    Now there is a plunger button on the bottom that is pressed in when sitting on a surface. While that plunger-style button is pressed in, the unit will operate. When the unit is tipped over or picked up, there is no longer anything pushing on the plunger button from underneath, so it falls back down and all current us cut off. The unit stops working.

    BUT:

    If, WHILE THE UNIT IS LYING FACE DOWN after being tipped over, someone or something presses that plunger button back in, THE HEATER TURNS BACK ON forcing heated air against your carpet, floor, spilled papers, or other flammable material.

    So what happens if a child or a pet tips this over, and manages to lodge something against the button that then keeps it pressed in, allowing the heater to continue pumping out heated air against whatever flammable it fell onto?

    Why is this not designed to keep the heater turned off until it is returned to an upright position?

    We have another, smaller, much cheaper no-name brand forced air space heater that has a plunger button on the bottom as well, which works the same way, BUT THIS little heater ALSO DISENGAGES the plunger button while tipped over. If you press it in while it is tipped over, nothing happens. It does not turn back on until it is fully upright again..

    THAT is a PROPER tip over protection feature. I do not need to worry about our dog, or other mishap, circumventing the tip over protection feature.

    When I contacted the Vornado company about this, the initial person I spoke with seemed entirely unconcerned about the possibility their tip over safety feature could be so easily circumvented. He considered it such a remote possibility as to be improbable, and told me this plunger button is working as intended. He also said that the restrictive airflow/overheating protection would kick in and shut off the unit if somehow my scenario occured.

    How hot would things get before it shut off? He never told me. Would there be damage before it shut off? Would my carpet get scorched? My linolium discolored? What if the overheat feature failed?

    So I tested that feature. When I placed a towel over the back of the unit to block its air intake, it continued to run, and very quickly there was a burning smell. It never shut off. That feature didn't seem to work at all. So much for relying on this secondary backup safety cutoff.

    The cheap, little off-brand heater we bought to help get us through some very cold days, before this arrived, hands down wins in the safety department, and this Vornado (and I assume all modern Vornado heaters) falls prettumy far behind.

    If a little, cheap no-name heater manufacturer could foresee that the plunger button would need to be COMPLETELY disabled unless upright, and implemented such a solution, then Vornado most DEFINITELY can do so too in order to ensure no accidents can occur.

    BUT VORNADO CHOOSES NOT TO.

    I will no longer be a customer until this changes.

    Anyone who owns a Vornado heater with this feature, test this out for yourself, and then decide if it is worth the risk of damage or fire.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024
    Just completed the first month of use and love this nifty addition to our indoor heating appliances. Running it for 10 - 15 minutes brings our living room temperature from marginally chilly mid 60s to pleasantly warm low seventies. The looks complement our interior, it takes up little space, and it does a great job. The downside: there is not much impetus to turn it off when it first is on, and it flat out doubled our monthly electricity bill :(

    5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific small heater, keeps you toasty warm!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024
    It’s hard to believe that such a small heater can do such a great job of heating a larger room but it does! I read the reviews online and on Amazon and they were very positive. The reviews are accurate. It is small but mighty. It is light enough to easily carry it to another room and it can be set to the temperature that you want to have. I have found that it maintains that set temperature without any issues.

    One caveat, a safety measure built in to the heater is that if you lift it or carry it and set it back down, it has an automatic shutoff and must be turned back on again. I believe that if you have animals or small children it is a great addition and it is so simple to press a button and turn it back on again.

    I think that it is terrific and very worth the cost. I have not seen my electric bill increase, even using it every day. I have not turned on my whole-house heating since I bought this small but mighty heater!
