Vornado positions it for whole-room circulation in small to medium rooms such as bedrooms and offices. In large open spaces it works best as a supplement to central heat.

Does it have a thermostat?

Can I use it without heat?

Is it safe around children and pets?

It has tip-over protection, auto shut-off and locking controls, and the housing stays cool to the touch.

Does it come with a remote?

No. Controls are on the unit's LED display, which nighttime mode dims.

Our take on the Vornado Velocity 5 Whole Room Space Heater

The Vornado Velocity 5 is a compact fan-forced space heater built on Vornado's vortex air circulation, which pushes heated air across the room rather than just warming the spot in front of it. It offers two heat settings plus a fan-only mode, a 1-12 hour timer, a nighttime mode that dims the display, and safety features including tip-over protection, auto shut-off and locking controls. At roughly 7.5 by 9 by 11.5 inches it fits on a desk, floor or nightstand. It suits people who want fast, room-wide warmth from a small unit; rivals in this class often add oscillation or a remote, which the Velocity 5 does not have.
