VornadoVHEAT Vintage Metal Heater, Vintage White, Whole Room

The unit is particularly well built. All of the materials are top notch. The gauge of the metal of the cowling is good and strong. And the design is beautiful. As described it has two power settings which are moderated by its control dial allowing good control of its heat. There does not appear to be any mechanism by which the fan alone may be engaged.The amount of heat it is capable of is excellent. With the strength of the fan to move it through the room it does well and quick work of it. As a personal note, the feeling of the warm air off of the fan is very pleasant on a cold night.Some reviews I'd read before buying it had mentioned a smell. The coils of the heating element have a metallic scent when they heat up. I have not had the device long enough to know if it will fade in time or not. It's not a bother to me in any event, but if you are reading this and you were curious, it is there. And you will notice it. But the function overshadows any such point.Overall, it's an exceptionally well built device and I am I chose this model. I hope this review is of help to someone.

We live in an open concept ranch home. This open concept room … this great big room … is on the north side of the house and gets c-c-c-c-cold in the cooler months. To heat this “Great Room” (and it *is* a great room - I love the kitchen, dining and living area all together) stays 5-10 degrees colder than the rooms at the back of the house. I’m not willing to set the thermostat to 80 just to heat the Great Room. Over the past 10 years I have tried a variety of ways to make this room more comfortable in winter. I’ve had varying luck with different sized radiant heaters, and finally found a “fake fireplace” radiant heat large piece of furniture for around $300 that worked OK for several years. Until it didn’t.I was unwilling to spend another $300 for something that “kind of” worked and took up so much floor space so I started searching Amazon. I’d settled on trying an oscillating tower heater when Vornado brand popped up as a suggestion. Read some of the reviews then went to “encyclopedia Google” to research more on the company’s website. I was impressed! And a 5-yr warranty — even better. So I popped back on Amazon to determine which Vornado heater I wanted and found this lovely item that could actually be a relic from my childhood! All metal construction and no bells and whistles! I’ve had intermittent luck with temp-sensing heaters and the remotes sometimes do and do not work. I was hesitant to purchase because of the high $$ but I am very, very pleased with the purchase.Now my functional heater looks attractive on the shelf, *fits* on the *shelf*, AND blends in with my Art Deco style. We get up in the morning and turn this stud on “high” then shower. By the time we get to the kitchen for coffee, the Great Room has warmed up from 66 to 70 degrees! We turn the fan to low and sit in comfort at the kitchen table. The fan is noisy on high but can barely be heard on low. We turn off the fan over the day but turn it on first thing when arriving home. Another 1/2 hour on high and the Great Room is warmed up again. This time of year we’ve turned it off after an hour or so on low because it actually gets too warm in the Great Room. I’m hoping it’s able to handle our sub-zero winters in Nebraska, but time will tell.Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and don’t mind the inconvenience of the analog system without temp control. My husband likes the function so much he bought a Vornado for the “man cave” in the basement, temperature-sensing off course so he can stay focused on the football game. I’m hoping it lives up to the hype and lasts a l-o-n-g time.

This is an edit, below is my original review after the first time it broke.Right now, my apartment smells like burning electronics after it started to make cursed electronic sparky type sounds. This happened when I came back home and I am thankful I did not leave this running while I was gone, because I would not be there to turn the fan off. The thought of a fire starting and my pet being scared with no escape and dying horrifically wrecks me.Your warranty means NOTHING if I don't trust the product. I do not want another one of these.EVERYONE: DO NOT BUY THIS if you value or home/possessions/pets. This is so dangerous - this was my SECOND unit. BOTH broke in very hazardous ways.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Looks great, worked fine for a few years and then the fan stopped working while the heating element continues to heat. So not only is it broken but imagine if I wasn't home when this happened. Seems really unsafe.Working on warranty now, which is generously 5 years.Warranty went through after about a month. I'm happy again. But I'll remember to only run it while I'm home.

I love my Vintage Style Vornado fan so I figured I’d splurge on the heater and I am so glad I did. It seemed a bit expensive but after buying multiple others that just didn’t do a good job, I gave in. We bought it specifically to help save from running the whole house heat in the colder months since we have a large house.Heat: This thing heats up a room like no other heater I’ve ever had. It heats the room up fast but never seems to get overly hot like many others I’ve used. It seems to maintain a nice consistent temperature in the room which keeps it nice and comfortable. I usually only need to use it on low for a fairly large bedroom. It works so nicely that we bought a second for the guest room.Noise: On the low setting it is so quiet that I am never sure it’s even on. When used on high you can hear the fan more but it’s still an acceptable level of noise and much quieter than any other heater I’ve had.Look: It looks great with our vintage furniture and 1966 home. I love the look of it and often get compliments on how it fits right in.The only irritation I have is how bright the light is on it. It brightens up an entire room. I am considering ways to cover the light so it’s not so irritating though. Because this heater is great in every other way.

Como calentador cumple bien con su función. En una habitación no tan bien aislada de 24m² de piso con una superficie de 15-18m2 en ventanas funciona perfecto incluso en potencia baja.El producto coincide con las especificaciones del fabricante. El sonido no es molesto, además está muy bien hecho. Yo diría que es un buen calentador.Como extras hay que destacar que es verdaderamente bonito. Tiene "ese algo" que tienen las Vespas, los refrigeradores Smeg y los escarabajos de VW.Desde el punto de vista estético pudiera verse un poco anticuado, pero si la decoración del lugar es atemporal se integra sin problemas.*El mío venía con unos pequeños detalles de pintura, pero me gustó tanto que no pienso devolverlo por un detalle tan insignificante.En verdad es muy bonito.En verdad está muy bien hecho.Funcionalmente no parece tener fallas.

This is a fantastic little heater. It works well, doesn't dry out the room, can be regulated to produce heat at different frequencies. And it has a lovely retro look

I needed a heater in the drafty room where I work and this cute little thing does the job nicely. I find the room gets to a good temperature in a subtle way, without feeling too hot all of a sudden. It's also very safe, so I don't have to worry about the dog coming by when it's on. A good investment and I can't get over how stylish it is.

Worked ok fo a couple of months. Then a brief smell of wires burning and the low setting stopped providing heat, fan only. High setting produces heat but I’m afraid to use it.Why is the product pedlar not standing up behind their very over priced price of garbage?

Bought this heater for my home office which is in the furthest room of the house away from the furnace... so it does get chilly in there. Super impressed with this little heater; it heats up the space quickly and has an adjustable thermostat dial on the back for how often you want it switching on. The lower fan speed is quiet enough for me to not worry about it kicking in when I'm on the phone while it's only 4 feet away. Also, for anybody that plays video games, it has a great Fall-out 4 vibe to it ;)
