Runs quietly and provides heat anywhere you need it. Purchased on sale it was a very good value.

First let’s talk about drawbacks. It’s not thermostatically controlled ie. stays on ALL the time. You can’t set it to turn off at a given temperature. You set it but better not forget it. Fan is not silent. You know that it is there. Not noisy but not silent. Quiet? Depends on your definition. Some will call it white noise. But because of item 1 you might want to know it’s there. Heat from fan blowing on high can be noticeably felt 9-12 inches in front of heater. After 24 inches you won’t feel it directly in front but above grade. The fan only mode is much stronger but also louder. Not sure if I would use it on my desk in front of a computer. I would call this a personal heater with regards to its compact size and proximity to which you would use it. For which it deserves 3 stars.

Overall, this Vornado is great. I have the larger, metal until, and I love it. It works great, which is why I decided to try this smaller sibling. It's very compact, but puts out a great amount of heat. My only issue is the automatic shut off. This is a great feature, in theory. However, I've never been able to use it on high power for more than a couple of minutes before it shuts off. I've tried various rooms, plenty of space to ventilate, etc. Regardless, it never runs for more than a couple of minutes. And, when this happens, you cannot simply switch to fan only mode, or lower heat mode. It is completely non-functional until it "cools." You must turn the unit off and wait. Low power mode, or fan only mode is great, and works as expected. It seems like a waste to put a high heat level mode on this unit, but have it only work for such a short while before shutting off. There are other, more affordable units that I would recommend over this one.

Very impressed with this little heater. I needed a low amperage heater to keep my newborn rabbits warm in the garage when we had a cold snap. It worked perfectly. Very quiet with just the right amount of flow. Ran it for 3 days straight with no problems. The best part is that when you dont want heat you can use it as a regular fan.

I wouldn't have any other space heater. I've got 1 other. I was trying to replace a non-working heater and thought this small one might work. For the $ you can't beat it. As it turned out I need the next size up for my basement office. This little heater does kind of take the chill off but it not really big enough to warm my space.
