Velocity 5R Whole Room Space Heater

Nice compact heater. Efficient fan

Works great and doesn't take up much space to work in the garage in the winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved this little heater because it puts out a surprising amount of heat quickly and quietly. First, this little heater has a cool to the touch case, perfect with pets and children who just can’t seem to not touch everything. I have our heater in the floor so it has been knocked over by our dogs wrestling, it immediately shuts off when knocked over. Resetting the heater is easy, unplug no plug it back in, it’s that easy. Controls are super easy on the unit and using the little remote. The unit has high, low and fan only mode along with a simple + or - adjustment. I also liked being able to set the timer so the unit isn’t always on. There is a 20 second cool down when you turn the heater off which is different. The heater definitely works best in bedrooms but it helped a lot in my bigger living room as well. The remote says you need a screwdriver initially for setup but actually you just pull a plastic tab and everything is ready. In fan only mode the heater is noisier but not by much, I never actually find it necessary to use just the fan. Additionally, you have a cord storage in the back of the heater for seasonal storage. This is a great little heater that really surprised me at how warm my room got within a half hour.

I bought this heater because of the remote control and the timer features, which are nice features. This heater does work well to heat a small room; however, it is very loud. On high speed, it sounds like a box fan that can be heard upstairs when it is on downstairs. On low speed it has a low tone thumping sound. It is too loud to be left on when going to sleep. I own two other Vornado heaters and they can barely be heard, even on high speed. While this heater works, it is too loud to be used as a bedroom heater as I intended.

I bought this to heat a small and sometimes coolish studio space. The area already had old electric wall heaters that could be used when needed, but I was worried about something catching on fire if too close. So I purchased the Vornado. I find that it warms the room quickly to whatever temp I set it at and I can place it in a safe area due to its portability. Probably uses less energy too. Yes, I would recommend.

This heater is just like your furnace. Set the temperature you want and enjoy. I have bought two more for family and friends. Everyone likes this heater and the remote control that comes with it.

Ordered this a few months. We'll pleased with looks, and functionality.

It's the best heater I have ever had. It does a great job

I'm a fan of Vornado products, I own one desktop fan, and two large panel fans. I bought the 5R heater to help out this winter. It does what it's supposed to, but I would not recommend it. An oil filled radiant heater is a superior choice.. While during the daytime, I might like a warm 74*, but at night I'll turn the set temp to 66*. In this scenario, the Vornado 5R will shut off it's fan for about three minutes because the room temp is warmer than the set temp. Then the fan will spin up at HIGH speed for two seconds, then power down to LOW speed for six seconds and then turn off. So... HIGH, LOW, OFF every three or four minutes until the room cools enough for the SET temp to be reached, at which point it will power on and stay on continuously. This makes the product unsuitable for a bedroom where a person is trying to fall asleep.

I have a relatively large office with a high ceiling and the Velocity 5R very effectively heats the whole room with minimal white noise. I would enthusiastically recommend.
