Does not work well

I've contacted Vornado via email and the rep seemed nice but I don't think she understood my questions even after clearly stating my concerns.
Oscillator noise was easy to fix, just put resistance for a sec or two and it seemed to get in the right gear and stop the clicking.
The thermostat needs help. 8 seconds to cool is not enough as the rate climbs another 3-5 degrees and takes 20 minutes or more to get backs to the ambient temp of the room. When it goes to off I put it on fan for 30-60 seconds to cool the heater to the ambient temp of the room which then shows it at 2-4 degrees less than the set temp.

makes noise as is oscillates
on November 27, 2021

Within two days of operation the space heater started making a rattling noise as it oscillated. The heating element of the heater works well and the thermostat works well, but the unit makes rattling and buzzing noises as it turns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Heats well, but squeals while oscillating

I've had it for about a month and it heats very well. However, when I use the oscillating function it makes a lot of noise. So much noise I've been asked to turn if off over Zoom calls.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for cold mornings and evenings to tide me through early fall without turning on the furnace and for when it is just a little to warm to light the wood stove. Very pleased. Mid Sept as I write the review I have only used it once. Due to the temps
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extra emphasis on safety.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really renovated our porch from three season to four season. I like to keep plants there because of the great south sunlight. It does get chill in the Minnesota winters, so we've been utilising a space heater in the area. What really excited me about this product was the extra built in safety features. I have small children, so I have to be aware that they'll get into things. The fan in this unit is covered by smaller, finger safe holes. If the unit were to overheat it shuts down as well. Best of all, if it's knocked over it will power down. My current space heater only blew air in one direction. Im looking forward to using the oscillating function to spread heat around the whole room. There is also no need to store it in the off season, as it's a decent oscillating fan too.
The minor downside I've noticed with this unit is that it's very easy to fingerprint up the touch screen/switch area. Not a big deal, really.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My new best friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing. It's quiet and I love that it oscillates. You can have it just on fan which is nice for right now since it's middle of summer but I am excited for winter cause I live in Idaho so it gets pretty cold. I like to keep the house around 68-70 degrees but sometimes it feels so much colder so I can just turn this on and warm up a bit without warming up the whole house. The base is wide so I don't worry about it falling over. It's got a low and high setting, timer and adjustable thermostat that goes up to 90 degrees. This thing is going to keep me toasty warm this winter!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far, so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been testing out this heater in the early mornings, and so far it is working quite well! It's summer here in Colorado, but our summers are typically quite short so I'm sure I'll have more opportunity to use this heater in the coming months.
So far I'm really liking how the heater is designed to prevent the machine from falling over, and I also like how it oscillates. In the past, I've had problems with space heaters that are stationary and only heat a small portion of my room. That is not an issue I have with this one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Vornado OSCTH1 Oscillating Tower Heater to test. The tower heater is listed as being able to heat a whole room or can oscillate heat 80 degree. There are 2 heat setting for low and high and a fan only option. It listed as having 12 hour timer, tip over protection, 2 stage auto shutoff and a cool touch case.
I love that its cool touch even with blowing heat out. I like knowing that my children won't get burn by accidentally brushing against it since they love to touch the buttons. It's really quite a sleek design and easy to use. I was mainly using the fan only option because its currently summer. I found it to be pretty quiet, you can hear the quiet white noise but that's about it.
I did also test the heat option in one of my bedrooms that is always cold. It heated the room really fast since I set it for high. I love this. I can't wait to use it in the winter. This is such a cool looking and great working oscillating tower heater.
I would recommend this to a friend!
