Best space heater ever!
M1233.2 years agoI really love this heater. It becomes very effective when you close the door of the room. Don't expect to get a warm living room/bedroom when you always open the door and let the warm air to escape outside :)

Velocity 3 is very loud
Meg.2 years agoI bought this heater to use in my bedroom. However, it was so loud that I couldn't sleep. I tried it for several nights but decided it wasn't going to work for me. I will say it heated the room very well. I was very disappointed because I've read good things about Vornado. Upon researching other heaters, I discovered the VH2 and the AVH2 are the only 2 Vornado heaters that are actually made in the USA. Several are designed in the US but manufactured in other countries. This is important to me. I returned the Velocity 3 and ordered the VH2 from another company.

Ignore my bad review!
Warranty reached out and gave me a new one after having issues with my old unit. This thing runs great and the customer service is great!
Great features
We really like the Vornado heaters. Have bought several others. Also like the 5year warranty. They work very well for the size of room we need them for.
Good heater, great company
I love Vornado products and the fact that the company is US based. This heater has a good fan to move the air, but it only runs at 1 speed, whether it's set at low, medium or high and it's a tad bit noisy. I would love to have the ability to quiet the fan since it is used in an office.
not worked
stopped workingafter 3wks! when I turn it on-heat for only 2mins max!
Space Heater for Bedroom
I've used this product for about a month and it has performed well. It has kept my bedroom at a comfortable temperature, allowing me to lower the temperature in the rest of the house. I am pleased and think it a good purchase, a good product at a fair price.
Perfect Addition To Any Room
Bought this unit just over a month ago. My master bedroom is always just a little cooler in the winter than the rest of the house. This was purchased to supplement that room -- and it delivers perfectly!
Room space heater warms me up
This space heater isn't too hot to touch. It blows warm air and keeps me comfortable in my basement office. It isn't too loud.
Warmer Rooms
Love the way it warms the room immediately
Poor Quality
Ran this brand new unit for 3 minutes before it started to malfunction. It then cycled on and off intermittently and would not run consistently. As per the manual, I turned it off and unplugged it for 10 minutes. Plugged it back into a different outlet and got the same results. I have had an older Vornado heater for over 18 years without any issues. Based on my experience, I expected the same quality from a new Vornado.
Not worth the price
Just received this heater in the mail and honestly does not live up to its cost. Love the slick design and it pushes hot air out right away, but it’s so loud. Also the cord is very stiff. I have a different heater from vornado not as good looking but is way quieter. I will be returning because I’m a little disappointed at the quality.
LOUD but Decent Heater
I purchased this heater to replace an older vornado one and I must say, this thing is LOUD! I read the reviews prior to and that was the main complaint however, I never believed it could be this noisy. It sounds like a motor is on and you would definitely have to turn up the tv volume in a room when it is on. I also don't like that it turns on to the highest heat setting and you have to turn more to get to the low setting. Past vornado heaters would have an actual power on/off switch and the temperature setting separately. On a bright note, it does the job and keeps the room warm even at the lowest temperature. It also has a nice size and shape to it and appears safe to the touch.
Okay if you don't mind a super loud fan.
I bought this heater after a ton of research when my Vornado Vortex heater quit working after many years. This Velocity 3 got great reviews, especially for how quiet it was. I do like the design and look of the heater. It's very streamlined, and I like the square shape better than the sloped shape of some models. However, when I turned the heater on, even on the lowest setting, it was as loud as a desk fan on high. It was loud enough that you would know it was on when you walked in a room. My Vortex was almost silent. I ended up returning this and purchasing another Vortex. So if you don't care that it's really loud, it would be good. But if you're looking for a discreet heater, this is not it.
It's absolutely perfect!!!
It's in our laundry room to heat up the wall...A women designing a home would have never put a washer & dryer against a wall that is against the outside wall.
Noisy
Since my first review was not posted, I’ll write another one. It smells badly and is too noisy. If you want quietness without a chemical smell. Do not buy.
Too Noisy
I’m very disappointed with this heater it is so noisy. Also smelled very bad when opened. Don’t buy if your looking for quietness.
Good for winter evenings
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for a closed area. In January it kept my bedroom warm enough but I was uncomfortably cold once I left the room. This heater works better when the weather starts to change and you don’t need to heat up the whole house. I like it because it’s quiet enough but I wish It had numbers to show the temperature instead of just high, medium, low.
It works, but that's about all.
I bought this product because it said that it is suitable to heat a small room. I hoped that the fan was variable speed. It was not. My wife and I are visiting our kids in Rochester NY and in Altamont NY and we used it in both places where the have a small room provided to us for our visit. I gave the heater two stars only because it works. But.... It doesn't produce much heat even at the high setting. It's not sufficient for a small room of 8' x 10'. The fan is also super noisy. Real noisy! We have two other space heaters that we wanted to use but they were at another location and unfortunately unavailable. We know what is reasonable to expect from a space heater. Our visits end in 5 more days. We will be discarding the heater in the trash.
Great small heater
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this heater in my bedroom. Does a pretty good job at warming up the room in the morning and before I go to bed. I have it on the highest settings for both heat and fan strength. It doesn't get overly hot which is nice. I like that it has the automatic shut off if tipped. It's very quiet as well, just a nice background noise when turned on. Nice compact design, I have mine on the floor but it could be set on top of a dresser or side table very easily.
very easy to use
Great product , very easy to user and dependable. helps to keep my pipes warm in cold weather
Powerful and compact
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a powerful yet compact room heater. This heater is ideal for small spaces. This heater has three heat spacing - high, medium and low. The fan speed can be altered as well. The best part is the heater surface does not get hot even after continued use. I recommend it.
