    Great little heater that heats a standard size bedroom quickly and quietly, would give it 5 stars if the thermostat worked a little better, we like our room cool around 65-68 at night, this heater goes to 60 at the lowest, but has an 8 degree swing, learned that the first night when we set it to 68 and woke up sweating at 76 degrees, turned it to 60 degrees and its been just fine for us now keeping to room right between 60 and 68.

    It's mixed feelings for this item. While it was good for warming the room, it seemed to be as loud as a jet plane taking off from the airport. Impossible to sleep while it's running. Don't even think of having it on during working remotely in a meeting. I appreciate that it cools itself off just prior to shutoff. Just extremely waaaaayyy too loud.

    Very nice heater I boot for use in a small RV. Upon reading the directions it was noted not to use the heater in an Rv nor on a GFI outlet. Since my other use would be a bathroom at home with a GFI I decided to return it

    I rent a room and tnis works perfectly fo heating my space. Very powerful, heats quickly and also does a cool down when shutting down, so no worries of leaving a hot heater when you leave the house. I also love the fact it gives me the choice of wattage use with 3 levels of heat. Best heater I've ever used. Oh yes, doesnt take up space either.

    This space heater works fine and is better-looking than most I've seen. We have it in a space that's much larger than the rated 250 sq. ft. and it really can't heat it. That's our fault, not the Vornado's.

      At Vornado, we take great pride in our products and apologize for any issues you've encountered. The Velocity 3R runs at 1500 watts on the high setting. Running the unit on an outlet with another appliance on the circuit may overwhelm the circuit causing the breaker to trip. Our Consumer Care team is always happy to help diagnose and solve any questions that may come up. We can be reached at 800-234-0604 or by emailing [email protected] for assistance. vornadobrands
