I own two of these, one for my office and one for the bedroom. Might buy a third one for the living room, since the oil-filled heater I bought is an energy hog and doesn't heat very well. The energy that this Vornado uses compared to the heat it produces is a very good ratio. I recommend this.

We love this heater! It heats our family room for pennies, is lightweight to move and the motor is quiet and unobtrusive!
Rating: - lil' thing works great
I'll have to say I was a little worried when I opened the package and saw the size. But I plugged it in and in 15 minutes my 15X12 living had no more cold spots(NICE!) I do have a ceiling fan but unless its on medium the air on the floor stays the same and then it's too much wind anyway. the temp would vary 10 degrees from floor to ceiling. But not now. and my legs and feet really feel the difference. I also like the quietness even on high and the fact that the lcd displays actual room temp

While this space heater is incredibly quiet, it does not supply adequate heating for a room without doors, e.g., open-space living room. Great for small rooms, but I will be ordering a larger unit for my great room.
Rating: - Warm, but beware the BUZZING
Bought this heater for my office, which gets cold as a result of my building's erratic temperature control system, and it works very well in terms of keeping the temperature comfortable. I like that it isn't extremely hot directly in front of the heater, and that the safety functions seem quite good.
However, as remarked by another customer, the heater emits a distinct BUZZING sound on the low setting. I found this very irritating at first, but have gotten used to it. Also, since it is in my office at work, it's not a huge deal. However, I definitely would NOT buy this for a bedroom -- it would probably be difficult to fall asleep with this on.
Rather than deal with the return process, I'm going to keep the heater, but had I read the earlier review about how noisy this heater can be, I would have gone for a lower-priced Holmes model that many say is very quiet.
