Works as expected. Love the volume of hot air.
This heater moves at least 3 times more heated air than my other two small electric space heaters combined, and this Vornado Velocity 5R draws less power than the other two heaters combined set on their low 750 watt settings. More hot air flowing in the space and less power used equals greater efficiency and greater comfort. This unit has an intelligent thermostat which soft stops and soft starts as it heats the space. I like the fact this unit can be set at a specific digital temperature setting, instead of guessing with the unmarked generic mechanical thermostats.

vornado heater
This little heater is a life saver it works so well heats up my whole office. Its quiet and has a timer or you can just set the desired temperature. It even has a remote.

I like it. Buuttt!
Operating works fine except when on 70° for a period of time there’s a slight noise like bearings but below or above the temperature very quiet. I love the way it operates. That’s my only complaint. It might be just this unit.

Powerful Space Heater
I love this space heater. I have 2. They heat up the room quickly. I never turned on my house heating over the Phoenix AZ winter. I have had other space heaters that created a smell. These did not. Easy to use. Light weight to move to rooms.

I'm WARM. :')
This investment just permitted me back my large bedroom this winter here in Colorado. I also wanted something that could also be turned and pointed toward my bathroom for a quick warm-up in the mornings and a tower heater just couldn't create a better effect for me. Upon first plugging in, my [poorly ventilated] bedroom was 62 degrees according to the machine... The frost on my windows had me agreeing that temperature was accurate. After about 10 minutes the room was very noticeably on par with the rest of the apartment at 72 degrees. Thank God. Thank you Vornado. Now I'm cheating and warming my room up to 76 lol, but the building heater on the other side of the apartment doesn't have to work so hard to warm my room, and my flatmate doesn't have to be heated out of his bedroom. Final thing worth mentioning is the fan creates the perfect white-noise for me. I can't run my ceiling fan in the winter, and now I don't have to hear all the noises of other apartment units around me. This little feller is the best investment I've made for winter months. My only CON: Best Buy... Y'all need to calm down with your prices.
