    Heater doesn't heat

    Maybe the one I got was just a bad one, but this heater does NOT blow heat. You will only feel the heat if you are within 1 foot of the heater. The advertising and the picture on the box make it look like this thing blows heat all over the room. The remote and touch screen controls were nice though.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Amazing little heater, got it on sale but we’ll worth it. Heats up a room in a matter of a couple minutes. Also display of current room temp helps a lot.

    I bought a similar Vornado several years ago and it works great. This one, similarly rated in power, does not seem to be quite as effective at warming the same room (takes longer). I still like the unit but at the cost I expected the same performance.

    My heater warms up my space comfortably and turns itself off when not needed. I just set the thermostat and it does the rest. What a blessing.
