Amazon.com Review: By projecting a tight "beam" of air across a room, this lightweight, portable heater gently blankets the entire room in warmth. The vortex-action beam forces air towards the room's perimeter, thus heating the entire room, floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Quiet and compact, the heater measures just 12 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. Two heat outputs (1,500 watts on high, 750 watts on low) and a variable heat control provide precise temperature control. Two fan settings permit a choice of continuous action or cycling on and off with the heating element, which is controlled by a thermostat that automatically turns the heater on and off to maintain a selected temperature. All controls are mounted on the heater's top for easy access.
Several features ensure safety: a nonglowing heating element mounted to nonflammable mica, automatic shutoff if the unit tips over or overheats, and a cool-touch cabinet. Because the heater has angled vents, it can be placed with its back close to the wall. Finally, the heater can be set in antifreeze mode, turning on only if a room's temperature falls below 40 degrees F. The heater carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

My unit arrived in August. It finally got cold here in November, so I plugged it in to try it out. I switched it on, and it was incredibly loud, and then the fan sparked and stopped. The heating element continued, but the fan doesn't work at all. I will try to start the warranty process at this point. Very disappointing.
Rating: - Great heater!!!!
I was a little hesitant to try anything "reconditioned" but am very happy with this heater. It's like new. It works great in the small area (8x12) that I am heating and is also very quiet. Not to mention the low price for a Vornado heater . . . it just doesn't get any better and I have looked.
Rating: - Might be nice if it actually worked!
Well, I have purchased a Vornado Fan before and loved it so I decided to try out one of their heaters since my recent heater purchases have been disasters. I have come to the conclusion that ceramic heaters are not good for heating an entire room and they are way too loud.
This Vornado is indeed quiet, however, on low heat setting I don't feel any hot air coming out-it is actually just one step above cool. On the high heat setting there is a horrible odor. I also detect a rattle from the inside of the heater even though the fan is quiet.
Rating: - Great for the winter!
Since my heating bills are way too high, I turned to Vornado and Amazon for my heating solutions. This 'lil product heats up my entire room, about 12x24', without any problems. Because electricity costs less than gas, I let this baby run all throughout the day. The adjustable thermostat lets you select the right temperature you desire. Don't let the factory reconditioned words fool, this still comes with a warranty and works right ouf the the box. Don't settle for cheap imatations since I've tried them all. Vornado solves your heating problems and Amazon delivers it to your door.
