    I think this will work well if you are within a few feet of the heater or if you have low ceilings, but this was not effective in my 400 sq.foot basement.

    We have an enclosed back porch that's not insulated. This has been nicely keeping the "room" at a tolerable 60-70 degrees temperature over the past cold weeks.

    Works in a very small room with closed doors other than that doesn't seem to get hot enough due to the fan blowing too hard. Would work better if fan speed could be adjusted by itself without lowering the heat.

    This little heater is amazing! I was having issues with my apartment heating system, just as a cold front came through with temperatures into the 40s. That may not sound so bad, but it’s COLD in South Texas. I used this heater in my living room/kitchen area, around 700 square feet. It kept the rooms very comfortable. Highly recommended!

    The unit will spin its fan to keep the room temp at the configured setting however, this is lretty loud. I believe it is loud enough to distrupt your sleep if you are a light sleeper. Do not recommend for your bedroom.

      At Vornado, we take pride in our products and are sad to hear the Velocity 5R did not meet your expectations. It is one of our most powerful heaters and can be louder than some other models. Please call our Consumer Care Team at 800-234-0604 or email us at help@vornado.com and allow us to assist you. vornadobrands
