    It warms a really large area, worth it. The remote is awesome, touch screen is awesome.

    My heater warms up my space comfortably and turns itself off when not needed. I just set the thermostat and it does the rest. What a blessing.

    I bought a similar Vornado several years ago and it works great. This one, similarly rated in power, does not seem to be quite as effective at warming the same room (takes longer). I still like the unit but at the cost I expected the same performance.

    I put it real close to me to chase off the chill if I don't feel like heating the whole house. It is just okay but I would not depend on this for my only heat. It does seem very safe as it turns off if you try to move it. Also it does not get hot enough to start a fire as far as I can tell.

    Heater doesn't heat

    Maybe the one I got was just a bad one, but this heater does NOT blow heat. You will only feel the heat if you are within 1 foot of the heater. The advertising and the picture on the box make it look like this thing blows heat all over the room. The remote and touch screen controls were nice though.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
