Vornado VMH500 Whole Room Metal Space Heater with Digital Thermostat & Remote Control - Quiet Heating for Bedroom, Office, Living Room

I am very happy with my new VMHi500 space heater!. I'm so happy with it, I bought two more for Christmas gifts.PROS:DESIGN: The all metal, soft edge look is so much nicer than most heater designs from Vornado. I think they realized the it's a permanent fixture in some rooms, and upped their design game.USABILITY: I did not need to read the manual. Power on, push +/- to create a set temp, and choose High/1500W or Low/750W. You can then set a 1-12 hour run time and go safely to sleep.SAFETY: This is my first tip-shutoff heater with a run timer, and I love those features. No more OCD wakeups in the middle of the night. The thermostat will also shut it off. Moreover, the chasse is absolutely cool. The only hot surface is the grill disc, which could only pose a problem for toddlers. Otherwise, it's nearly idiot proof for burns.PERFORMANCE: I was surprised how much better this was than my much smaller heater with the same wattage. I assume that the Vornado air mix flow distributes heat better.. Also, the heating coils produce NO OZONE, which my smaller, tight coiled heaters do. It's just small enough, and quiet enough, to quickly heat a couch area with warm air directly on you. However, it also seems to do a great job at mixing that heat with the air in the room, hence it's full room description.NOISE: I do not agree with many reviews here. On low, the fan is very quiet and even slows more as it approaches the temperature set point. I thought it was broken when the fan got that slow, but it's by design. However, on high, it's about as loud as a quality bathroom fan. Better than most, but not absolutely quiet. Still, quiet enough to have next to you when you watch TV.CONS:My only complaint, it should have a black option, though white works pretty well.It takes up about a cubic foot, but it still works under my coffee table and on the line of compact.QUIRKS:SHUTOFF: The unit will go to fan only mode to cool before shutoff. It displays a 10 second countdown.FAN SPEED: On both High/Low, the fan will moderate depending on how close you are to the set point.SLOW FAN NOISE: There's a slight rpm pulse sound when it goes to super low.BOTTOMLINE:I've never spent this much on a space heater, but if I get 10 years, then every penny was worth it.
