    This is a great little heater. Very quiet and heats my room up on the low setting. Great to have a remote and me and my animals sleep very comfortable.

    Solid/dope. You know that feeling when you step out of the shower and you’re cold, it’s not that feeling.

    The Vornado Velocity 5R is the real deal when it comes to room heating. Small, portable and stylish, this device will fit a room of any size and heat it up in no time. Best of all, this model features a remote, so you never have to leave the couch to change its temperature. This a true must have device for the winter and can make a great gift to anyone in the family.

    I cannot rave enough about my Vornado heater! Despite its compact size, this little powerhouse does an exceptional job of heating up an entire room quickly and efficiently. I’m truly amazed at its performance. Not only does it provide consistent warmth, but it also does so without being obtrusive or noisy. It seamlessly blends into the room while working its magic in the background. After experiencing the reliability and effectiveness of my Vornado heater, I’m sold on the brand for life. I’ll definitely be considering Vornado for all my future heating needs and will happily recommend it to friends and family. If you’re at Best Buy for a heater that delivers on its promises and exceeds expectations, look no further than Vornado. It’s a game-changer, and I’m beyond satisfied with my purchase!

    I bought this to help keep my bathroom warm. It is closed off from the master bedroom and gets very cold. The unit says it's 56 in there. I have been exceedingly pleased with this product. In about 20 minutes, the temperature increased by 20 degrees. It maintains the set temperature very well. The fan allows warm air to cover a much larger space than a normal heater.

    This little machine packs a mighty punch! I use it mostly in my restroom during the winter (or on cold mornings) and not only does it keep the whole room nice and toasty it also ends up warming my towel and keeping steam off the mirror when I choose to take a hot shower so I don't have to wipe it away when I'm done. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a mini heater with great power!

    This heater does a great job in our RV. We really like the compact size while pulling out a good amount of heat. But i did think it was a bit pricey

    It works really well keeping the chill out of the air in our 32ft camper. Takes a bit to warm up. Does its job well. It was a more expensive then other that do the same job. Your definitely paying for the name on this one. Dont get me wrong it works but shouldn't be as pricey as it is . Its very safe with the safty shut off as well. The min it tilts a little it shuts off..

    We have two of these. We use one in our camper when we are at home and can plug it in. It keeps it very consistent in temp. Remote is a nice touch too. We would buy this one again. It has digital read outs and shuts off when tipped over or when it’s moved which are safety settings.

    I bought one of these heaters for my laundry room. I feed my cat in there so I wanted something they couldn't knock over easily. I love it and it works well. Better than the tower heater I had there before. I bought a 2nd one. It works good but the fan is noisy where the 1st one is quiet.

    This is a tiny heater but with a lot of power! Absolutely love this one. It is all digital with remote or touch screen. Time settings and temperature settings are so accurate. The only problem we see is when we turn it on the bathroom lights and other white light bulbs start flickering in a weird pattern. May be because it pulls a lot of power in the house!

    This is my third Vernado space heater, needless to say I am very happy with my purchase. It performs well and efficiently. The noise level is low and the room warms up quickly. The remote control is a plus as well as the timer! This one is for my daughter’s bedroom. I highly recommend it!

    I really love this little guy. It gets the job done and is very compact and light. I do make certain to unplug after use. I do think it's the best little heater I've ever owned.

    This sucker is a little pricey but very NICE! It has zero problems warming one room up in decent sized apartment. I’m looking forward to trying this once winter really sets in to see if I can keep my utility bill low.

    I purchased this space heater to cover a small portion of my one-story home as the insulation is rough in the winter. It's done a great job of warming areas in my home, while also leaving me wishing it was a bit stronger. The ability to set a timer and a fan function also allow us to be mindful of when we are running it. Altogether, I would recommend this space heater - just be aware of the proper space you need heated.
