    So far so good. Seems to work differently than old school portable heaters, in a safer way.

    A small heater with a big impact. The Vornado method of directing airflow makes sure the heat is directed where you want it.

    Loud fan

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The fan works great. The heat setting is very loud and the fan blows loud then gets quiet over and over. It does not seem to be able to maintain a temperature that is set. Its not great for a small room at night.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      The Velocity 5R is one of our most powerful heaters and is louder on the high setting. It is Auto Climate and will reach the temperature set, then cut to half power to try to maintain the temperature. When the temperature drops, it will engage again on high. If you need further assistance on the operation of the unit, please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 800-234-0604 or email us at help@vornado.com. We'll be happy to assist you. vornadobrands

      At Vornado, we take pride in our products and are sad to hear the product did not meet all your expectations. We appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback on this model. The Auto Climate Heaters will run more, as they are trying to keep the temperature constant. Feel free to contact our Consumer Care Team at help@vornado.com or 800-234-0604 for any inquiries or assistance. vornadobrands
