Poorly engineered

The fan speed is too low to cool and it’s impossible to get the front panel off to clean inside. Really? How hard would it have been to put in an easy release notch for a screwdriver. Obviously designed by someone who never has to clean the product.

fast, friendly and toasty service

Impossible to clean

Bought this two years ago and followed instructions re wiping it down, trying to vacuum out any lint that has accumulated, etc. The grill cannot be removed so this is really all you can do per the instructions (unless you feel safe using canned air, do be careful). The thing is simply uncleanable. There is just no way to keep out lint/dust and to get it out of there once it gets in. Unless you want to replace your heater every couple years, I suggest you take a hard pass.

Nice little heater

This is a nice little heater to take the chill out of a bedroom at night. Puts out decent heat even in the low mode. Just wish it had a feature that it would kick in automatically….but a nice little heater

Vornado

Not good

The heater never turned on!

Plugged heater in and turned it on, but it never came on. I returned it.

Just ok only

Just ok.

gives off plastic smell

I opened the box and ran it for an hour in the kitchen. I figured the plastic smell would wear off, but when I tried to cook the smell had filled the room, and made me nauseous as I tried to work, so I opened doors and windows to the cold and put the unit away before cooking. It wasn't overpowering at first, but built to nausea as I focused on cooking.

Sub-optimal

Not a well designed space heater. The heat output is really low, and the fan blows too hard and too loud. So it's noisy, and you're not getting very warm. Returned after 3 days of it driving me nuts.

Great little heater

Just what we needed. It works great!

Not warm

Did not get very warm

Like

Works just like the big ones we have, but does not shut off.

Couldn't heat a shoebox

Not a good heater

Not what I expected

For the price it doesn't blow a lot of hot air it blows out cold air when you're standing in front of it

LIttle Heater

New design but been using these little heaters for years. Love them.

Not as advertised

Bought for use in small bathroom - it’s warm on the 3 inches of the body in front of it

Keeping my feet warm.

Great for under my desk to keep my feet warm.

Not worth the money

It’s too loud and does not heat well

Great Compact Heater

Great little heater

A small miracle

It’s billed as a “personal heater,” but the VH5 can quite ably warm up a small room. For example: during several -20 Celsius/-4 Fahrenheit evenings last winter, my VH5’s High setting (750W) regularly heated my 10 ft X 12 ft (122 sq ft) bedroom up to approximately 19 Celsius/66.2 Fahrenheit within 15-20 minutes from switch-on (from a starting temperature of 15 Celsius/59 Fahrenheit). Running it purely on the Low setting (375 W) on such beastly nights meant a slower warm-up, but retained a comfortable sleeping temperature of around 17-18 Celsius/64 Fahrenheit while the heater ran all through the night (saving me money on electricity, all the while).
