    Its ok for the price .. wouldn't call it whole room by any means ..sucks alot of electricity for how much it heats. Much smaller than anticipated . Buy something bigger if your room is over 6x6.

    Seems solidly built with a reasonably strong fan, but for those looking for heat - this one comes up a little short. Not too mention this is only the size of a small fan, with no option to change angle or tilt so if you have a counter or raised area to place it on, it would certainly work better. As for me, I was using this in a small bathroom and still felt the heat to be inadequate.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this heater. Works great in my bedroom. Don't avoid the thermostat even though you may have to move the heater to get a good reading.

    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.

    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.

      At Vornado, we take great pride in our products and apologize for any issues you've encountered. The Velocity 5R Heater is an Auto Climate Heater. It will heat up to the temperature set and then go to half power to try to maintain the set temperature. Not like typical heaters. Please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 800-234-0604 or email us at [email protected]. We’d be happy to help diagnose the issue and work toward a solution. vornadobrands

    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.
