Doesn’t do a large area, sometimes the air is cool- but the timer is great and it turns off if it’s not balanced. Overall great product for a bedroom or smaller area.

This is a very nice looking heater that works well to heat our room. There are a lot of settings to get the desired temperature. It is not super hot so it takes a while to get the temperature in the room to the desired level. However, it is effective. The remote is a nice plus.

Did a great job heating up a 200sf room for a party in a solarium. Doesn’t take up a lot of space, either and cool to the touch. A good purchase.

Great product! Pushes out nice hot air fast! The only complaint i have is the remote. You can't see the display on the heater to see what the settings are set to. The remote is very basic. It would be nice if the remote had a display or some way to indicate what the fan is set to.

Heated our Tiny House in -30 Degrees Fahrenheit

Bought this for the past winter cold front we had, and it helped take the chill off our 210 sq ft Tiny House. At times our mini split would freeze out and we were able to maintain +68 degrees fahrenheit in our house using only this fan on the HIGH setting, with wind chills in the -50 degree fahrenheit range...

Durring the winter months me and my damily needed a alternative to our fireplace, found this as a temporary solution, ended up being more powerful and efficient at heating bot just our living room, but most of the house felt noticeably different. I wholeheartedly recomend this geater especially if you live in a small apartment.

Got this when my furnace went out but i’m keeping it for good. Love using it for some our rooms that tend to get a little colder.
Love the safety auto-off switch on the underside.

We have always had trouble getting a space heater that can run at the same time as bathroom fan in other room. This has been a nice option so far.

Pricey, but quality and features make it worth the money.
Outstanding heat and air circulation (as with all Vornado equipment). Temperature control with self-adjusting heat and airflow is great. Remote control makes operation convenient. Relatively low noise level compared to our other heaters. Two issues cause me to give this a 4 instead of a 5---lowest temperature setting is 60 degrees. Also, the auto shutoff turns the heater off completely if it is picked up and moved--must restart. Overall, very pleased.

The fan is very loud, you can not adjust fan speed and have it at a set temperature. The remote only works about half the time. The touch screen is not very sensitive.
Does keep the temperature you set it at though but it is annoying because this really loud fan comes on about every 30 sec. for 15 sec. Use it without temperature setting to avoid that irritation and just turn on and off though out the day.

It has a 5-year manufacture warranty. Please call our Consumer Care line at 800-234-0604 or email us at [email protected] and allow us to diagnose the issue and find a solution.

This was purchased to help heat a 12 x 20 ft. sun room with a lot of windows that is always too cold in the winter. There is furnace heat in the room but not enough to make the room usable. This heater heats up the room quickly and is not too noisy to watch TV or make phone calls. Also quite a good looking heater.

Love this little heater. It heats the room super fast and it's perfect if you have pets who like to sit close to the heat because it doesn't get hot enough to burn.

Quite effective and a strong Black Friday sale value. Mind that you do not place it directly below or near a home heating vent as the otherwise pretty smart thermostat may get a little confused, causing the machine too cycle on and off too frequently, making it a little more noisy than it needs to be.
