    This is a low power space heater with only 2 settings, but it's half the power of normal space heaters. The 4hr shut off timer is a nice addition too. When it WAS working, I liked it a lot. However, about one week in, the on top is really hard to turn. Eventually it over rotated and possibly not lining up with the low or high setting anymore? I pulled the knob off and readjusted it, and it worked for a while? I put the heater on high on a cold morning and it was great.. until I suddenly noticed the room was getting chilly (it ran very quiet). I looked down and no indication of power? Thank God it happened with 2 days left to return it! I liked the product, but Vornado is not the company they used to be since the buyout? Their fans and heaters from 20+ years ago were nowhere near this cheap or crappy? It does come with a 5yr warranty at least, so take your chances. I would wait til a sale to roll the dice though. Not worth the $50 retail. Got mine at $35, and went to $30 the next week too. Did they know it was a flop? Be safe out there!

    Nice looking, but barely heats up. Bought this for my office thinking it was small and quiet. It is small and quiet, but it barely gives off enough heat to feel anything. Couldn't even really tell it was on and working. Might return it.

    Pros: Compact and easy to move to around Due to the all-metal design, it doesn’t give off any odors, unlike the vast majority of other space heaters Keeps the feet warm even when set on low (note: this space heater isn’t really powerful enough to heat up an entire room, but Vornado does make larger models that also have a metal enclosure) Room for improvement: It would be better if there were a cable management solution for when the heater is not in use, such as a cable storage compartment as in Vornado’s larger metal space heaters, or a clip to wind up the cable.

    Love this little heater- small but gives powerful heat! Perfect for under a desk and heats up a small room in no time. It is also very quiet. Love that there is a timer and auto shutoff if it gets tipped too. Looks sleek and perfect for the small area

    Total Junk

    Got this brand new from the store, took it home and placed on my desk, first off it does looks nice, says it's made in Kansas but the Chinese writing all over the packaging suggest otherwise. Once plug in, the heating control knob came off, not enough clue under the cover. Then the actual temperature control button id just poor and cheap, it tends to moves past the high/low setting so you have no idea what it is actually set too. The fan inside the unit is super quite, which is nice until you realize that the heat travels about 2 inches away from the unit, which results in total he dissipation before it ever reaches you, in turn due to the poor fan the unit get hot and cuts out because it thinks it's over heating. I have to be honest and say, maybe I had a faulty unit, but looking at the build quality I would say even if it worked better, I would have still returned it due to cheap materials and poor build quality. Avoid. I endued up with a Honeywell, seems to be much better although much nosier !!

    Solid little heater that actually keep my entire 12' x 9' office space warm and toasty. It does so quickly, effectively, and with an overall quiet fan sound. You can hear it, but it is not obtrusive or annoying. If it stops working, unplug it, let it cool, and then wack it on the bottom where the auto-off toggle is a few times. Plug in in 30 minutes and it will work again.

    My wife needed a small space heater for her office and because she is a fashionista, I knew it couldn't just be any old space heater. This one does a great job and looks great doing it. I knocked one star off because she does wish it had more settings than just low and high, low just never seems to do it for her, and high gets the place just a little too toasty. Also, she forgot to turn it off one night (I knew this would happen so that is why I got a heater with a lot of safety features) but even though it got really hot in her office, it never shut off so I'm not sure what its threshold is to turn off. It did turn off when she accidentally knocked it over, so that works.

    Nice replacement for older Vornado heaters styled like this. Moves a lot of air for its size. Developed a quirk after the 3 month mark where it would overheat trigger on high. Still works great on med/low.

    Great low-power heater at 375w for a small room

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this heater with two things in mind. 1. I needed a heater that was low-energy and not 1500 watts like all the rest. 2. I only needed it to heat up my bedroom. I'm pleased to say that operating at 375 watts on low mode, the heater does a great job. Even on days where it was sub-zero outside, the little thing managed to keep things toasty. Keep in mind that this heater isn't designed for a large room, nor is it designed to quickly heat things up. It isn't even good to sit in-front of like you would a fireplace. All it does it slowly heat up a room and then keep it warm.

    I thought is might be very cumbersome but it's not. It fits under my desk and no one knows it's there....and the most important part is that it's very, very quiet....I love how small and compact and noise free it is for the money I paid for it.

    unit works well as a part time space heater. Leaving it on for hours on ends results in it popping its internal breaker, and needing to be reset. But overall for the price its a nice and simply laid out item.

    Bought this thinking that with the Vernado brand I would get that same kinda quality, looks and design its a great job but to actually do the job heating it was disappointing at best. I will be returning and going with another space heater for the same price.

    The temperature in my office can be uneven int he winter, so this is the perfect way to warm up. I love the auto-shutoff timer too, one less thing to worry about when I go home. Will heat up a room very quickly and it looks nice too.
