Just remember with 120v heaters; 1500w on a tiny heater is the same as 1500w with a huge heater. There may be different styles of emitting/circulating the heat, but you physically can't get more then about 5000BTU from 1500w. This is why most baseboard/in-wall electric resistance heaters use 240v circuits.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a radiator is hot to the touch where as this Vornado is not... Something to consider if you have little ones around.

I bought 2 of these a few months ago on sale ($50 each) and I'm very pleased with their performance this winter.

Regular circuits have 15 amp breakers. A 1500 watt heater pulls 12-13 amps on its own. If they increase the wattage, it'll just trip the breaker.

Why don't they manufacture heaters that use more Watts on 120v circuits?

$39.97 at my store. Also they had two-packs of the Vornado personal space heaters for $19.97 which are great for offices/cubicles and camping. I picked up 2x 2 packs of those as well.

Small form-factor with 750/1500W modes. We use it in our ~250sqft master with poor insulation and it keeps the room at desired temperature well. $50 is well worth it for this unit if you're looking for a space heater. Something to note is I don't believe it has a way to turn off the display lighting and power light. We just throw a couple socks over it, but kind of a bummer on that front.

Side note, a lightning strike zapped a circuit in our home about a year ago and took this unit with it. Took it back to Costco and they refunded me the amount and I bought a new one. Can't go wrong with Costco.

This is a great heater for an enclosed room ( vs an open living room). The fan helps to distribute heat evenly in the room vs heaters with no fan.

Got one of these in October but haven't used it since getting a DeLonghi radiator heater. This one puts out directional heat immediately but the radiator heats the room more evenly and they pull about the same wattage. Good if you need something portable though.

At first, they will have plastic burning smell

After few uses, that smell goes away

And this thing can heat up an entire room and you will stay comfortable

This is my favorite smaller room space heater, I had one for well over a decade until an ex stole it and for all I know it's still in use today!

Mine was an earlier model which had a high failure rate. For a while I had to hack it and start the fan first before turning on the heat or it would shut itself off due to not providing enough current to power the heating element and start the fan simultaneously. Eventually it stopped working entirely and I had to buy a new switch at Radio Shack (told you it was old), and that fixed the other issue as well. The switch was always the weak link in the earlier model and hopefully that was fixed with these newer models.

I've used this model for the last year. It would be nice if it had an oscillation feature, but it is nice and quiet, it has a timer and a digital thermostat, it runs a cooldown after the power is turned off to protect the coils, and can keep a medium sized room cozy. As with every electric space heater, don't plug it into a strip or a smart plug adapter- just run it straight to the wall.

Yes. But the design of the air circulation matters, too.

E.g. A radiant heater with no fan?
The range of what's heated is limited to infrared range of nearby objects + convention air flow upward to the ceiling. Room corners cdc remain cold while the area near the radiant hot.

The fan in the Vornado is designed to push hot air far and broadly to help raise temperature across the entire room more evenly.

Yes, you could run a box fan next to a radiant heater to do the same thing - move lots of hot air around a room.

Mine got a burnt smell after a year of using it and every time I turn it on, the element glows red. I called vornado warranty and got a new one shipped within a few days. Excellent customer service support.

Most ceramic and other types of heathers are all 1500 watts like this one and doesn't put out any more heat. This seems overpriced and not really a SD.
I have this and don't recommend it. An older heater I have works for my home office room much better.

Will this be effective for a medium sized living room with high ceiling? I have a lasko at the moment that doesn't warm up the room maybe bc it's close to the main door downstairs where it's colder
