    I would like to say I got it defective unit, but I can’t say for sure. All I needed was a heater that could blow hot air on me while standing/sitting in front of it in the warehouse and even with leaving my hand in front of the fan I could barely get any heat from it consistently. It would just be warm. Def not the same experience as what other reviewers were saying… returned within a few hours of purchase.

    This heater is terrible. The fan inside seems to be the only upgrade which makes the heating colder so not an actual uograde and everything else is pointless because the heating capabilities are a downgrade. Please save your money and get a different model if youre thinking its worth the remote which has no screen by the way.

    Won't heat a room, but good for putting under your desk to warm your feet and legs. It can get hot but doesn't seem like the heat is consistent. But I would say it can warm up an inclosed area, like. A bathroom, by 8 to 10 degrees

    Purchased this heater for my wife to run in the living room. The heater ran for about 2 hours and will no longer run. Tried setting on hardwood to be sure the tip switch was compressed. Unplugged for an hour and tried again. No luck. Would not recommend

    I have a Vornado Velocity 3R that I wanted to replace, but this 5R isn't even half as warm as the 3R. Is this product going backwards? I've used Vornado for years, and this is a huge disappointment. I'll have to go to another brand to replace I guess.

    Not worth the price. I can’t even feel the “90 degree” heat coming from the thing. I’ve had it on in my possibly 10/10 room for over 2 hours and it started out saying my room was 65 degrees and now it’s 66. And this is WITH central heat on. For the price, you figured I’d feel like it’s at least fall inside my house, not still winter.
