Vornado Velocity HD 2025 Garage Space Heater with Fan Tilt Head Advanced Safety Features Glove-Friendly Controls Removable Pre-Filter

Well built, typical Vornado quality. Doesn't really heat a garage to tee shirt temps but does make it comfortable if you are moving and working. Read more

This thing is a total crap. It literally worked for 10 minutes straight out of the box and then stopped pushing any air. I unplugged it and moved it to another outlet to see if I was the problem and noticed a rattle inside the switch box. I love Vornado, really I do. But this heater is absolute garbage and im completely disappointed! Read more

I purchased this heater to use in my garage. I had realistic expectations. I knew that no heater of this power rating was going to make my garage toasty in cold weather, or even heat all of it. I had just hoped to take the chill off a little bit in the area around my workbench. The heater is solidly built. The fan operated as intended. Both the low and high settings worked. At the time I attempted to use it, the garage was 40 deg F. My garage is detached and uninsulated, but it is well sealed. After the heater was running for a while, I took some temperature readings on it using an infrared thermometer. Shooting through the front grill, I got readings as high as 295 deg F. Shooting at the V emblem in the middle of the grill, I got 91 deg F. Shooting at the front edge of the side of the discharge, it read 51 deg F. The last temperature represents what I was experiencing. In a warmer and smaller environment, this heater would probably work well. Its only limitation in that regard is that it doesn't have any type of temperature control other than low-fan-high. If the heater is heating faster than heat is being lost, you could really cook the area it's being used in. For that reason, I don't feel that this would be an appropriate heater for general household use. In actual use in the garage, this heater accomplished nothing. With it on the floor about 8 feet away, I could feel the fan, but no heat. With it sitting on my workbench (which they say not to do) at around 3 feet away from me, I felt the fan even stronger and no again no heat. In both instances the heater was set on high, and had been running long enough to have warmed up. The issue is a matter of design vs. use. In order to get a sufficient temperature rise from the space heater, the fan needs to be slowed down in order to raise the discharge temperature high enough to actually do some good. While the heater is in fact heating, the air is only being warmed by a few degrees; 50 deg F is not "warm". Since the air leaving the heater isn't warm, the fan is acting as a fan, creating a wind-chill effect, which results in it being subjectively colder with the heater blowing anywhere near you than without it. To get warm air at cool room temperatures, you need raise the temperature of the heating element. You can do this by slowing down the fan (resulting in lower airflow, and a smaller area of air circulation) or b) run the heat exchanger hotter. Since one of the selling points of the vornado units is that they don't have glowing heat elements, I'm guessing that isn't an option here. Unless you are attempting to heat a fairly small space or one that only needs to be warmed up a little bit, this heater is going to struggle to accomplish much. To get any usable heat in a garage at this wattage, you need a radiant/infrared quartz, filament (think toaster) or heat lamp, preferably without a fan. The heating element in radiant heaters is more in the 1,100 deg F range as opposed to the under 300 deg F this heater has. Radiant heaters act more like sunlight or a fireplace, directly heating the objects exposed to it, not the air in between. This isn't a bad little heater, it's just not appropriate for use as a garage heater, at least not when the starting temperature is anywhere below 60 degrees. Read more

This is an odd product. It's a 120v space heater so it's not providing any more heat than any other 120v space heater does because the limit is the north American 120v connector. That said, this is a 120v space heater with a fairly powerful fan. So depending on the climate it can be used to blow directly at you to take the edge off a colder space, or it can be used to circulate warm air where normal space heater's have pretty abysmal fans so the output air temp is relatively high. I got this as an amazon return for <$40, even at full price this unit is decent for what it is. It's not a normal space heater, but also won't heat a garage due it being 120v. It's limited practicality but for those that recognize what it offers this is a nice product with some standout features. Such as - Dead simple controls, on/off switch with high/low switch. Means it can be automated on/off with an outlet switch. Fan is a bit more powerful than a typical space heater, circulates air around the room more at the cost of a lower output temp Some parts of it are made from a very impact resistant plastic, mainly the fan shroud. The green filter feels like it would explode if you pulled it off a bit too aggressively. Some of the black housing is also less impact resistant black plastic. Read more

Don't let the small size confuse you. This heater works great at heating up a bedroom. Read more

This space heater is worst in class when it comes to performance. When it comes to performance I would say this falls into the class of an entry level $40 personal space heater. This space heater is significantly louder than any space heater I’ve owned; it’s louder than a $10 box fan and theres only one fan speed in which you can’t turn off. It has no thermostat; zero modern features such as Bluetooth control or a basic timer. This heater is twice the cost of others in its class. I think the company was banking on it’s robust build and portability to win people over. Is an extra $40+ worth the trade off of modern features for a robust portable design? It’s a good looking unit; the frame raises the actual unit from the ground making it much more suitable for dirty garages and or job sites and the handle and “cool touch” housing makes it easy to transport or even hang from a hook for some downward heat as you work. The reach / fall of isn’t grand. As shown in their product images the reach is that of a “work bench” so roughly 4ft. I tested it’s reach using a paper windmill and at 6ft the windmill didn’t move at all. This unit has a strong odor and after 3 weeks of continuous daily use the odor didn’t even fade. I would not suggest this for home use. Without a timer or thermostat I would not feel comfortable leaving this unattended running continuously for hours; in fact the manufacturer specifically recommends not doing so but if durability and portability is your main concern this heater may still interest you. Most garage heaters are massive and costly but of course they work significantly better. This “work bench” space heater is a good concept but unfortunately I found that it under performed based on similar sized units on the market and lacked common features. Read more
