I’ve been using these in my bedroom for years now. In the summer & warmer months, I select the air circulator to use as a sound machine (white noise) to sleep. In the winter & cooler months, I alternate using the high & low heat, which still acts as white noise, but also warms up my bedroom. I absolutely love these. They’re compact & get daily use year round. Totally recommend them!
To start with: this is a *tiny* heater/fan. It's meant for *small* applications, like under desks, or in my case, heating a tent went I travel-camp. That being said-it's perfect for MY needs. Tip-over protection and a cool-to-touch housing and face means it's not a danger to fabrics. Two heat settings, so I can use it on cool nights to keep the condensation down in my tent without it turning into a sauna, and a high setting that really heats a tent space up quick. It's not completely silent, but it's quiet enough to sleep next to. Fan only mode is not adjustable in speed, but it generates enough breeze to keep the air moving and cool things down. The fan moves more air than some other 1500w heater/fan units I've owned in the past, so it's really nice for tents. Finally, I would say with certainty that if you were to use this in an office cubicle or other small workspace needing quiet and a small footprint for your heater-fan, you would find this to be a superior product for the money. I own a couple of the larger Vornado fans that I try to keep running for as long as possible through the spring and summer months before I have to turn on the air conditioning, and they've never failed me through all the heavy use and cat hair I throw at them! Hope this review helps. Peace, go camping, and remember to love your Mother Earth!
I bought this heater 2 days ago because of the low wattage. When using on low, 375 watts, you can barely feel any warmth. You have to be close to the heater to feel heat. My 200 watt heater is much, much warmer. Even the high setting is not what I expected. Therefore, I would not recommend this product. It's also very noisy for the size.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased my Vornado VH202 heater October 2020 and at first, it worked great but then one day I tried to turn it on but nothing happened. I waited a few hours and tried again and then it turned on without any problems. Fast forward to now. It was working fine until January 17, 2021 when I turned it on and it made an odd ticking-like noise. I used it that day and have been using it ever since but each time I turn it on, it lets out the same ticking sound. The ticking sound is not permanently ongoing while it is on but it is rather annoying each time I turn it on.

I have two of these in my basement. It keeps everything toasty and they run pretty quietly too. I like that they don’t get hot to the touch because one is in my children’s play area and they won’t get hurt if they touch it. But it keeps their space super warm and comfy.
My First try for this brand and heater but my bad it just last for 3 weeks. And I just used it for several days. I liked it cause it keeps me warm on my desk but my bad for the price... it didn't last long. I need a new one but not with this brand.... so disappointing.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Not Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I own a Cabin in the Pocono Mountains . Ruffle 800ft in area its only one floor & room but in about 30 minutes from cold its nice and warm . I did have to replace the power switch & I would high recommend that you keep this heather away from any dusty areas because it will burn up the motor literally ** the one I have now is my second model**
