Vornado MVH (2025) Space Heater, 3 Heat Settings, Adjustable Thermostat, Tip-Over Protection, Auto Safety Shut-Off System, Indoor Use, Whole Room Heating, Black

Warning, long review. And probably TMI. TLDR: Absolutely awesome heater once you figure out the best placing and setting. And it DOES work well even in an RV in below freezing temps. Pro tip: Plug into an outlet, not an extension chord, unless it's a heavy duty outdoor yellow one. Don't plug in other things on the same plug/breaker. This heater is nothing short of amazing. I wasn't impressed with the fans put out by this company, because while they move air you can't really feel it unless you're right in front of it, but this heater is just unbelievable in how well it heats a room. Regular space heaters are dangerous at the Hi temp, do Ok at the Low temp, and only truly can be safely run when you're at home. They also, for all the intense heat they can put out, don't really heat a room that well. I live in an RV and usually ended up using 1 heater in 60 to 70 degree weather, 2 space heaters in 50 to 60 degree weather, 3 in 40 to 50, and 4 in below 40. To be safe, I would buy new ones every year or two and run the 4th one to an outside plug. My electric bill would be as high as my AC bill in the summer. The Vornado heats the ENTIRE room as long as you have it set in the optimum spot and leave it on to regulate temperature. You wouldn't think it could. The first time I tried the 1st one I bought last year, I thought it was broken or defective because it put out very little heat, or so it seemed. But I gave it time to heat the room and when I came back in an hour later, it was almost uncomfortably warm. *TIP: It needs to be set up to where it can blow across a room unobstructed and have air flow to the backside.* I use this in my bigger area (living room and kitchen), which is 20Lx10Wx9H, and keep my ceiling fan on the reverse flow. What I found: The HI (3) setting I reserve for when it's under 50 outside. This is the setting that will allow you to feel some heat if you personally need warming up. The medium (2) setting is great for 45 degrees and up. The low (1) for 55 and up. But that's for me in my RV's main area. It may be different for a better insulated room with lower ceilings. I do have to run a second heater, a space heater, to add some extra heat in the room when it gets below 35, but that's because of my poor insulation, not because the Vornado is in any way a bad heater. It's also so quiet you wouldn't know it's running until you get close to it. Vornado sticks by their warranty and responds fairly promptly. The ONLY con about this heater is finding the optimum setting as it changes depending on room temperature, and if there's a cold wind blowing outside. I tend to run it between 3 and 6 depending on outside temps and what setting I have it on. Other people may find they need to set it differently. I like my RV between 70 and 75 in the colder months for my elderly cat. As of now 10/12/19, we dropped to 48 degrees from 80 in the space of an hour yesterday morning. I left a space heater running in both rooms (at the marked spots I had figured out equalled 70-75), because I couldn't get to my Vornado quickly, and because it had originally said we would get up to 70 degrees. It only got up to 55 outside and I came home to inside being 65, with the heaters likely having run the whole time (On Low). I found my Vornado and set it up on HI, left the space heater on at 70, just in case, and waited. Within an hour, my RV was at 76. I adjusted it to 5 at medium and it dropped to 70 inside in an hour. I left it at 5 but turned on HI and went to sleep, with the space heater still on for support just in case. Woke up to 75 degrees inside, 55 outside. So, I think I've figured out the settings: At HI 4 is 70, 5 is 75, 6 is 80, 7 is 85, when you leave it on constantly to regulate the temperature. Approximately. I'm sure the heat setting makes that vary some, but maybe not. I don't think my space heater has come on since the Vornado got going. This is by far the best investment you could make on a heater for a room. Edit 11/11/19 I left this morning with it being warm at 70. It was predicted to drop to the 40s by 8 pm. No problem, I thought. I left the Vornado on at #2 heat #5 on the dial. I also had a digital space heater set at 72 on Low just in case I got home late. Well, it dropped 4 hours early and I raced home at 6 because I was sure my poor elderly cold sensitive cat would be freezing. I've never had less than 4 heaters going in 40 or under weather. It's a nice 70 degrees inside while it's 35 outside. See pictures. I'm going to try only running the Vornado tonight on #3 heat #5 on the dial and see what happens. It's supposed to get down to 28 tonight. Edit 9/15/20 I dusted off my Vornado and used it last week when we had a cold front blow through. We went from 75 lows to 50s low and a high the next day of 75. It was the only heater on during this 24 hour period of time and with my elderly cat having passed away, heating the place above 70 isn't necessary anymore. The heater worked great. I set it on the #2 setting and put the dial between 3 and 4. With cold wind blowing outside and temps in the 50s the heater managed to heat my RV up to 75. I adjusted the dial a smidge and my place stayed between 70 and 72 all night. I will never buy any other brand of heater ever again as my main heat source. Edit 11/11/22 Still LOVE this brand of heater. Best in it's class plus some! My ONLY complaint is and has been the internal thermostat. We had a drop from 70s to 40s yesterday. I have since purchased a thermostat plug specifically for heaters and ACs, still on the dedicated plug, that more accurately reads temps in the room, particularly in the area I want a certain temperature. Paired together, it's a "set it and forget it" situation. I never again have to worry that as long as the power is on, my RV has reliable heat in cold temps, and that it won't go into roast mode, or shut off too soon. AND my electric bill dove down to below $50. Win win win! I have not received anything at a discount for my review or had any offer of such.

Great little heater. Keeps my two car garage 20-30 degrees warmer then outside. Keeps the space comfortable and does a great job of mixing the air. You don't have to stand in front of the heater to keep warm. Quiet in a room with normal sound level you cannot hear it.

Small, quiet, light weight and simple to use. Only gave 4 stars as it is small and takes a while to heat up a bedroom or large master bath. It does not get real hot to the touch which is good and is slow to warm up a bedroom or large bathroom. So I just turn it on before I go to bed to give it time to warm up the space. I let it run all night and it keeps an even temperature in my room. Also does not have a vacillating feature. It works for me, but if you want a fast heat, you may consider a different model.

This heater is the best one I've found, and I've tried *many* types of heaters. It puts out a warm to hot stream of soft air that works great for heating a room. It has a power switch, wattage switch for different output levels, and a thermostat to set the point at which it turns on and off. It also has a safety tip-over switch as heaters are required to have nowadays. The heater works very well, and is the quietest forced-air heater I've come across. Even the thermostat is quiet as it clicks on and off, can barely hear it as opposed to the loud click of most heaters. For forced air heaters you generally have two types, wire element and ceramic element (There is also infrared with fan but I'm not considering that here). They are both electric, but have different element watt-area densities. You can concentrate 1500w in a very small space with a small element producing a hot puff of air, or you can spread the 1500w over a larger surface and get more voluminous comfortable air. A ceramic element is small, concentrating 1500w in a very small area, producing a small poof of extremely hot air, which I don't like because the air doesn't get far. In contrast this is the wire-element style which heats a larger volume of air not as hot, but still plenty hot. I prefer the wire-element kind as this one is, because you can warm yourself up in front of it. It also heats a room more evenly as air is more distributed. Some things you should be aware of. Firstly when you turn on the heater for the first time there will be some motor bearing noise as the bearings are worked in for the first time. I've used 3 of these and it will go away in a few minutes during the first run and doesn't come back. Second my unit has some thermostat bounce, in that it clicks on and then off, then a few seconds later clicks on until the set point is reached. Many heaters I've used do this, which is a property of the bimetallic strip thermostats manufacturers use. This could be alleviated with a different model thermostat, but the ones that don't bounce have loud clicks. Have an electrician make sure your electrical situation is safe. They can make sure outlets and wire connections to them are in good shape, as a bad outlet and/or connection to it can create a hazardous situation. In many cases this is not noticed until a high amp draw appliance like a heater is plugged in and used, which stresses weak electrical connections. Should you feel your outlet, plug, or cover plate getting hot call an electrician and have them take a look at the outlet, and the other ones in the circuit. Since outlets are daisy-chained, a bad connection could exist in an outlet upstream as well. I caught several of these in my house, where the neutral line had gotten so hot it blackened, due to a "backstab" connection to the outlet. "Backstab" and "Backwire" connections are different and your electrician will know the difference.

On two days, I repeatedly plugged it in, and the power light came on, but no heat at all on highest thermostat settings on Low, Medium, or High modes after 20 minutes. I followed the Vornado Troubleshooting tips to press plunger on bottom 4-5 times, and did so several times, but still no heat even though the power light was on. The controls are hard to see. The heat mode control is a small rocker bar with the Low Heat ("1") in the middle position, not at the bottom as one might expect. I couldn't tell which end of bar in Thermostat control to use because both ends go to numbers, the notch in end of one bar evidently is the guide but it is not visible unless room is in bright room or I use a flashlight . The red wavy lines for Heat mode are on a black background and invisible without bright light or flashlight.

Satisfied with it. Some points to explain why: 0) I will not tell you fairytales about heat efficiency, because it has heating element, it delivers as much heat as consumed electric power. Q=(I×I)×R×t: whe: Q - Joules, I - Amperes, R - Ohms, t - seconds. And it is the same for all the electric heating elements with fan. Any other option for effeciency can be only in the case of heat pump, i e. unit transfering heat energy between 2 heat exchangers Another things are heat delivery, power levels, noise levels, and less smell. 1) The fan of this heater creates more airflow then average, and mixing air in the room. It helps to avoid hot upper and cold lower levels of air, at least make this effect less pronounced. They call it "Vortex technology" 2) I measured power consumption by smart plug - 725W, 1150W, 1500W. I use it on lowest setting and it helps to avoid "cycling" - cycles of overheating and overcooling. 3) Noise levels is lower than average, except Dyson. It is from my subjective experience with other heaters 4) Last, but not the least - electrical heaters can't "burn oxygen". Burning is process of oxidation of something. To burn oxygen, heater has to oxidize its own heating element. If heating element still exists - it is no burning. What happens - frying of small particles of dust by heat when air goes through heater, and we can smell it. This smell, and dry air (relative air humidity concept) creates feeling that something burnt. In case of this heater, more airflow and lower temperature of heating element helps to make this effect less noticeable. My another heater is Dyson AM09, it's another class, but I'm satisfied with both of them. Don't trust me without fact-checking. Read other reviews, use your logic, consider finances, and make your choice.

Calientan muy rico y casi no hacen ruido

Lo puse en el cuarto de mi bebe, para mantenerlo calentito, y con el calentador en bajo mantiene el cuarto de mi bebé muy bien!! Excelente producto.

The Tornado MVH does a great job taking the chill off our basement theater. It heats at a rate of about 1 degree every 10 minutes (in our space) and quietly warms the air. Although the look of the grill implies fan-like air movement, it gently distributes the heat evenly without strong waves of hot air. I wasn't sure if this heater would be sufficient to warm our 12'x15' space (which is open to another area of similar size). It does a great job. There is a thermostatic control and three heat settings, so once the room reaches the desired level of comfort, it will shut off as needed to hold the temperature. A red light above the grill indicated when the unit is operating, so it's easy to remember to turn it off when leaving the room. The outer case remains cool, so there is no danger to children or pets when it is running. Overall, this was an excellent choice for us.

great little heater, heats up room very quickly and has a pleasant warm breeze (almost feels like hawaii! but without the scents and moist air, of course.) Much better than a heat dish, especially without the light and buzzing. Quiet as advertised, but not silent, but the sound is not noticeable at all. Only "complaint" I have is that it can't be used as a fan in the summer, as the settings are only warm/med/hot settings - I imagine it would have been a simple matter to disable the heater, but for whatever reason the manufacturer chose not to have that function. Regardless, highly recommended for small rooms, I can see myself using it throughout the winter and wish I bought this much earlier.
