Background: I purchased a Vornado 460 Fan (https://a.co/d/guttTg5) in 2020. Last year it had a hard fall from our counter and broke one of the 3 blades and threw it off-balance. When I called customer service, the representative sent replacement blades for free since it was under warranty, despite of being our fault. This made me research and purchase another Vornado product. Our 220 sq. ft. bedroom is on the far end of the air handler's duct work (poor design of the house). So it gets almost 6 to 8 degrees cooler than the thermostat shows, which is usually set at 69-70 F. Wanted a space heater that had decent power while not being too big. I decided to buy the Vornado based on the service experience. Pros: 1. Good power at high setting. It takes about 5 minutes for the temperature to come up to 70 F from 64 F. Once at that temperature it steadily auto-starts, runs and shuts down to maintain the temperature. Those cycles can vary from a few seconds to a minute or so. 2. Good safety measure for auto shut-off, if it notices movement or imbalance. It is very sensitive, which is a good feature, especially to prevent fire hazard. Granted most of the modern space heaters have the same feature. 3. Not a power-hog. It runs pretty cheap - cheaper than running air-handler at higher temperature or running gas fire place. 4. Durable - It runs sometimes 5 to 6 days non-stop before we shut it down for the weekend. Didn't feel like it was overheating or losing the heating effectiveness. 5. Seems to have good quality materials and decent heft. Cons or Improvements: 1. It can become noisy. Initially it was a little discomforting, but we got used to it. Also, auto-start may create some discomfort. Again, we got used to it. 2. The color - not a big fan of the ceramic white color. It doesn't go well with the bedroom theme. But the color has definitely not faded. 3. Price - slightly pricey for about $100. It would be a great buy, if it were priced at around $80. Bottomline: Vornado impressed us with the quality and customer service. Currently we have had it for about 13 months and it ran steadily for 6 of those 13. I will give this a 4.6 out of 5.0. Kind of surprised by lower overall ratings. Read more

Blows cold air. Disappointed. I bought this product because I like the fans. But this is the heater and it does not work. I tried in multiple rooms but it does not warm up. It actually blows cold air. I went on YouTube and tried everything to make sure it wasn’t me. This is a junk product, do not recommend Read more
Long time vornado customer here. Using their products for over 10 years, always happy with them. With this product in particular, I had an issue. The fan arrived making a bit of a tinkering noise, it would occur after the unit was being run for a while. Called up vornado, they got me through the warranty process, and sent me out a replacement almost instantly. Pain free, easy process. My only complaint is they sent me a unit in black as a replacement, I purchased white. But whatever, easier to keep clean in the end so I am happy with it. The replacement unit runs strong, no issues with it. Does its job for me, which is keeping a 10x20 garage hot with a fan constantly exhausting ~250CFM of air every minute, so that is EXCELLENT performance. Don't trust any other brands for your heating fan needs, when it is something where it could be so dangerous, avoid unknown branded products and ensure your heater is UL certed. With Vornado, you wont have that worry, and you can count on their customer support to live up to the warranty. Read more
