Combat the agony of leaving a hot shower for the chilly household air with a blast of warmth from this heater. From industry leader, Vornado, the fan heater oscillates to spread heat through out the room in no time at all. Best used as an enhancement to a heating system, separate use of the fan heater also provides comfort in the fall and spring months during cool mornings and evenings. Small rooms, up to 12 by 12 feet in size, benefit most from the application of the quiet fan heater. The electronic heater features a convex grill format to allow air to flow most ably. The fan's grill and cabinet stay cool as heat emits from the protected non-glowing heat element. With three power settings for varying needs, the fan heater runs low at 600 watts, medium at 900 watts, and high at 1500 watts. The fan can also run with no heat to circulate air in hotter weather. Equipped with automatic comfort control technology, users enter an ideal temperature and the heating appliance automatically adjusts the output to obtain and maintain this level. To ensure safety, the heater cuts power upon tipping over, or if the heater should overheat. For safe operation, read the manufacturer guidelines and instructions thoroughly prior to use. The USA-made heater is covered under a limited one-year warranty. This unit weighs 5 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Heat good, not too quiet November 15, 2008
My main concern with this product was that it wasn't too noisy, because I'm a light sleeper. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it failed the test. It did seem to warm the room in a uniform manner, but had what I can only describe as a "rumbling hum" that was annoying. To be honest, it's not as loud as say, a window air conditioner, but I guess it was the type of sound that I found bothersome. I think Vornado has a pretty good reputation for their products, but for the price, I think this one came up short.
 AVOID VORNADO LIKE YOU WOULD THE PLAGUE November 11, 2008

I'm posting this on all Vornado listings on Amazon, as all potential purchasers need to be aware of the shortcomings of Vornado's warranty policy.
I purchased two fans from Vornado direct. Both were larger, more expensive units (280 & 285) that had either ten year or lifetime warranties.
One year after the purchase, the 285 began to vibrate upon start-up. The fan blades would barely revolve, and the fan emitted a loud rattling sound.
I called Vornado's Customer Service and spoke to a Paula. Upon describing the problem, she stated the motor was bad and e-mailed an RMA. However, she told me I would be required to pay for the return shipping.
As this was a large, heavy, floor standing unit, I told her that I would be returning the motor only. She gave no indication that was a problem.
The motor was delivered to Vornado. 5 days later, they called and refused to perform the service without the remainder of the fan assembly. They also had the temerity to tell me that I had voided the warranty by removing the motor, and wanted to charge me for the repair, but again, only AFTER I spent additional money to send the rest of the frame back!
I have 3 problems with Vornado's actions in this matter: 1.) I had to return a defective IN WARRANTY product at my expense 2.) I told Paula upfront I would only be sending back the motor, and she didn't object, and 3.) where was I supposed to get a box large enough for a plus-three-foot-tall, floor-standing unit?
Disgusted, I told Vornado to throw the motor away and forget the whole thing. When I disassembled the unit to extract the motor, I found the fan to be of a cheap design and construction, so it would be possible that I would have a similar re-occurrence of the same problem in the future. Why waste further money on something that might fail again?
BTW: Both phone calls involved LONG hold times to get a customer service person. So, if you're forced to call them regarding service, be prepared to have something else to do while you wait.
Vornado might claim to stand behind their customers. After dropping the original +$150 on the two fans, going out-of-pocket for the shipping to return the motor, and having to dispose of the useless, motorless 285 frame, I can definitely attest to having felt Vornado there. My advice: Find another fan from a better company. Vornado brags about how their products are built in the U.S.; who cares, if you're not going to support your customers?
 Silent and warm October 29, 2008

I have purchased many space heaters for my drafty house and this is the best so far. It may feel like it's not working but my room quickly becomes warm and toasty. My room is 15 X 15. I have used it in my dining room as well and it warms that room too. It's 17 x 20. What I like best is that the heat is all around the room not just the direction it's pointed in. Great product! I'm buying another one.
Love it! October 24, 2008
this heater does just what it says. i've used it on the cold new england monrnings we've had lately and it works. i have a 1000sf great room with hard wood floors and it takes the chill off. in smaller rooms it generates enough heat to turn off my baseboard!
Quick warmth, Easy to use, Well-designed October 17, 2008

This Vornado heater is well-designed and heats a room quickly. The thermostat is easy to set to a specific temp with up/down buttons and regulates the heating and the fan speed depending on the set temperature and room temperature. The display shows the current room temperature.
The heater quickly fills a medium-sized room with warm air. It is good for difficult to heat rooms, such as those with tall ceilings, as it keeps the air moving.
POWER:
When it's heating at maximum power, it draws about 1300 watts. Idle, with the heating element off, and the fan spinning slowly to keep the air moving, it draws about 15 watts. Depending on the difference between the set temp and the room temp, power draw varies between those extremes.
NOISE:
It is quiet, but not silent. Some will find it too loud for a bedroom. Most will find it quiet enough for any other use.
Excellent heater. 5 stars. If it was slightly quieter it would be perfect.
