The VHEAT Whole Room Vintage Heater is a powerful little heater with style. The heater is made of durable metal that does not get super hot with use, which is a big concern with me when I have kids. It has different levels of heat on the back and the head can be adjusted to where you want to direct the heat. It also will turn off automatically if not sitting upright which makes me feel safe that it will cause a fire if knocked over. I used this in a large room and was able to heat up the room within 20 minutes and feel comfortable. I have never used a Vornado heater before but have used their fans and found they were high quality and this was not exception. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality heater that adds a little style to any room with its vintage look.
