I bought this a few weeks back for my child’s room.
It’s far better than any other portable heater and the safety features are great!
The only bad thing I can report is the plastic material it’s made out of emitted a very pungent chemical smell for awhile.
It really bothered me but it’s seems to have gotten better or maybe I’m just used to the smell.
I know some plastics contain carcinogens and your manufacturing should be considerate about warning people about olfactory triggering fumes.

Otherwise, great little heater!!!

Great product! So surprised to see how small it actually was when i opened the box and plugged it in. Cool digital UI toggle buttons. Combination of air vent and heat distri ution makes it a unique product. Please make more really cool designs and cool tech fans/heaters in the future. Will keep buying!!!

Great heat, great fan power. Unit goes on, off, on, off. Annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The last space heater I had (it died last week) was from the 1970s. I am happy to pay more for a heater that lasts! I hope this 5 year warranty is an indication of vornado's longevity. Initial impression is good. Nice that it throttles back the heat and fan as the setpoint is reached. Once the room is warm, it can idle along like that and barely make any noise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am Surprised at how well this little heater works. The thermostat works great at keeping the room at a set temperature. I also like the timer feature. My favorite part is that it doesn’t have hot coils like other space heaters. It simply blows warm air across the room lowering the whole room temperature not just where the heater is positioned.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quiet fan but little heat output

Nice looking unit, this one replaced another that was too loud, but this one doesn't seem to put out much heat. I can have it running for an hour straight in a 12x16 room and it doesn't raise the temperature a degree per the built in thermomter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am admittedly a Vornado loyalist, and this was the latest addition to my collection. I have been fond of Vornado heaters on the past because they heat effectively while not being so loud. This little box works dreamily at heating up a pretty big open-concept home with vaulted ceilings, but it is so loud I can’t hear over it. I assume it has to do with the box casing, but I am about to return this unfortunately, in hopes that a different model might be quieter. Here’s hoping.
My other qualm with this one is the cord. I am accustomed to the usual cords on Vornados. This one feels cheap and has no malleability to it, so it unplugs with the slightest nudge of the cord. Considering this is meant to be a higher end heater, I expected much more.

Vornado does an excellent job. Everything works likes it says it does. Quiet, adjusts to temperature, intuitive. It's even nice looking.
