Review of Vornado Vortex Whole Room Heater

Customer Ratings:

I've had my VH2 for several years -it's always reliable and always great at quickly warming up a room in my drafty old house. This is a forced air / fan aided heater, so it's not a product to sit in front of for instant comfort, like a radiant heater, so consider that in deciding what suits your needs. I swear by them. The second one I bought had the switch go after only a couple of years -it worked great before then, and after it broke the good folks at Vornado took care of the problem with no hassle. These heaters are terrific. The quality is well worth the extra money, and buying something actually made in the US is an added treat.

We own a Vornado floor fan that we use during the summer and purchased this heater about a month ago for our bedroom. We wanted to stop heating the entire house at night to save some money. Well, as has been stated by others, this is not the kind of heater you sit in front of to get warm. We run it on the low setting and it will warm our bedroom by around 5 degrees in about an hour. That is just about perfect. We use a timer to have it come on at 10, then off by midnight. then again at 3, then off at 3:30. then on again at 6 and off at 7. It works. Our room stay warm, not hot.

The heater is not real quiet. After all, it's a fan with a heater element. We actually like the noise in the room. It's smaller than you might think and takes up little floor space. The built-in thermostat works, but we noticed it would sometimes cycle on and off quickly. The external timer solved that problem (we set the thermostat higher).

We would have no issues buying another one. Highly recommend.

This heater is a must have for me. I have three levels to my house and use these heaters (I have 3) constantly. None have needed repair & some are rather old. I find the only negative thing I can say is I have to fight with my cat as to gets to sit closest to the heater! Great buy well worth the cost.

Honest reviews on Vornado Vortex Whole Room Heater

I ordered this heater because of the Vornado name. Have had 7 of their products over the years and was always happy. This one is advertised as a 'whole room heater.' It would hardly heat a small bathroom. Fan wouldn't produce enough air movement so that when standing in front of it one would even notice that it was on.

I hope Vornado goes back to the drawing board on this one. I will continue to believe that they can and do build quality products. This was just not one of them.

The heater heated our living room but also created a breeze that made us colder. I understand the point of the fan part is to circulate the warm air around the room to have an even heat in the room but we didn't like that feature. I read some reviews saying it was loud but it wasn't, it was like white noise, we didn't have to turn the TV volume up. This heater just wasn't for us.
