    Amazing heater. And so so quiet when maintaining the temperature. Power up is a little loud when getting to the temperature you want but doesn't last long. Plus it has a powerful fan for the summer weather. My son purchased this for heat and I fell in love with it and had to have my own. The buttons are very visible and very easy to use.

    Needed something in a hurry during the very cold temps and this was one of the best things I’ve purchased in a very long time. Easy to use and kept my room very warm throughout the negative temps.

    has no issue heating our entire downstairs area of our house (maybe about 800-900 sqft) using the low setting. It can do it much quicker on the high setting but its loud on that setting. Have some patience and just use the low setting, it will get the temp where you want it with no noise in just a little bit longer

    The unit performed as advertised. It is excellent in heating a bedroom and has given countless hours of warmth since my purchase. I have been able to use this unit at night to save my gas heater a break.

    Heats up a big room with no problem. It will heat my bedroom and bathrrom which is about 250 square feet combined in about 15 minutes. It will go from 64 degrees to 74 in that time.

    Heater has a digital display which was super easy to use and a fan mode for hot days, the Vornado brand is known for the air circulation which this heater provides in both hot mode and air mode. Temperature setting are great and timer works as described. Kept my room very warm and cozy at night! 100% would buy again!

    Works great in small areas. Used during cold spell help with kitchen pipes and also use in the garage when working out there. Will keep the chill off things but doesn’t get much better than 68.

    I have a 34 foot fifth wheel and use this to heat it, and it does the job wonderfully. Good build quality, not the cheap plastic space heaters are typically made of. Would recommend

    Perfect for a small nursery. Convenient remote control and settings to select the ideal temperature. Temperature can be changed without disrupting baby sleep and the heater fan is not noisy.

    This small heater definitely delivers. It effectively heats whatever room we place it in. It allows to keep our thermostat at a lower temperature and heat the room we are using during the winter months.

    What a great little heater - works with a remote - the only thing missing is support for Alexa or Google. The Vornado - Velocity 5R Whole Room Portable Space Heater is far superior to the older model it replaces: Vornado TAVH10.

    Nice Looking but Flawed

    This heater did not meet my expectations. The issue I have found is that upon reaching the desired temperature is does not shut off, not completely anyway. It runs in a very low mode, which keeps the fan barely spinning, and the heating element running on low. This causes a lot of noise at least with my unit as the fan makes a noise almost like gurgling when running slowly. The main issue with this is that now it just heats the immediate area around the heater and the temperature reads way over what the actual room temp is. It ends up just running all the time in the low and noisy mode. I do like the remote and I think it looks great.

    This fan/heater combo works well - the heater puts out a lot of heat with a pretty nice fan-forced design. However, there are three settings - low heat, high heat, and fan only. On the high heat and fan only settings, the fan is quite loud. I would not recommend using this in a bedroom setting unless you can fall asleep to loud background noise.

      At Vornado, we take pride in our products and are sad to hear this product did not meet your all your expectations. This is one of our most powerful heaters, due to it's unique internal design. With that power, you will find it a little louder than some of the others.
