Size: VMHi500 (2025 Model)
Had amazing results with Vornado 520 hurricane floor fans for years, so I was excited to try their 2025 VMHi500 space heater. If you only need to heat a normal room with a normal ceiling height (like a bedroom or home office), then I'm sure you can get the temperature up as high as desired (possibly up to the unit's max temp of 90 F). HEATING A CHALLENGING SPACE (OPEN FLOOR PLAN, VAULTED CEILING, LOFT) I need to heat a challenging space: a living room with an overlooking loft and open floor plan (connecting to kitchen, hallways). A normal space heater won't cut it. Thankfully, this whole room unit will. Here are my results after using the unit daily for 10 days for my specific situation: The Vornado will absolutely make and keep the area comfortable (68-72 F). If it only gets to 68 F on day one, by day two, it should be able to maintain a steady 70 F, and by day three 71-72 F, though it will likely top out there on its own. This is due to the unit no longer having to fight the cold by establishing a thermal baseline. This baseline should more or less hold overnight, only dipping by maybe 2-5 degrees if you shut the heater off overnight. And it warms up the area up again quickly to your desired temp (within 10-30 minutes depending on number of degrees needed). However, I have noticed that once the thermal baseline gets established, it is possible for the temperature in my space to get as high as the mid-70s even when the unit is turned down or off thanks to ambient heat from adjacent apartments (top floor). Regardless, with the baseline established, I don't need to run the unit constantly. Instead, I let it cycle up/down on its own for most, if not all of the day. I rarely have to manually tweak the settings. So this is a (mostly) set-it-and-forget-it device designed for maximum comfort. Again, these results are for a large open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling on the top floor. I also have good insulation and all doors shut, blinds/curtains closed, etc., and a stable, non-freezing fall/winter temperature to test it in (37-55 F). I'd expect the Vornado to reach higher temps in warmer temperatures or lower temps in freezing temperatures. I don't expect it to go lower than 62-65 F with the Vornado running in freezing weather, but have not tested it yet below 37 F. FACTORS AND FEATURES The VMHi500 isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for: quality construction, effective heat flow, digital controls, a timer (from 1-12 hours), an internal thermostat so you can see its progress, and even a remote (batteries included). The cord comes tucked into a clever hole on the back for easy, out of the way storage. The unit isn't too heavy or bulky; it should easily fit just about anywhere as long as it's flat, sturdy, and away from hazards. It can be picked up and carried with one hand via the built-in handle (where the controls are). It automatically shuts off if tipped over (which takes some doing, so only a large pet or determined child is likely to manage that). EASE OF USE It's easy to operate and only takes a few minutes to learn how. While running, the ceramic parts remain cool to the touch. There are no blazing hot, glowing orange coils to worry about like on traditional space heaters. It's also quiet, though more in a "white noise" sense. It's not silent by any means, but the sound levels change as the unit cycles up or down in power to establish or maintain your desired temperature. There is a bit of a classic dry air "heater smell" from it, but I don't find it off-putting, especially after the first day or two. It comes expertly packaged, sandwiched in its box between heavy styrofoam cushions. SHUTTING DOWN It takes 10 seconds to safely power the Vornado down, and there is a digital countdown to let you know when it's done and it's safe to move (beyond the audio clue when it goes silent). OVERALL OPINION This is a great space heater; a top of the line, 5-star workhorse that should last you for years. UPDATE (January 24, 2026): Been almost two months of daily use without any problem. First energy bill arrived showing that despite constant use, the Vornado only increased my bill by roughly $20/month. UPDATE (August 24, 2026). Going on a year now, and I’ve had zero problems with this unit. Used it to varying degrees daily. Love it! If I had one nitpick, it would be that the fan function doesn’t do much in high summer heat, but that’s not to say it’s useless. Every little bit helps with no A/C. You just need to make sure you are directly in its path (and within 5-10 feet should work as that’s what I’ve tested). I do have one other piece of important advice. If you don’t let fresh air into the space you’re heating with the Vornado for 30-60 minutes at least once every few days, you can get a weird “toasted air” smell and your hands and feet may start drying out. Fresh air fixes the smell fast, so that’s a free and easy solution. As for dry skin, the absolute best product I’ve found for that is O’Keefe’s for Healthy Feet Cream (but I use it on my hands too). That fixes the dry skin for me within 24-48 hours, depending on severity.

This Little Heater is So Cool! Easy to use, built well, built to last, feel heat immediately with this little fella while stays cool to the touch. I got myself a Vornado VHMi500 because I was tired of feeling cold in one particular room in the house. I like the Safety Features and how fast it warms up the room. The Timer and Thermostat are easy to set and has a “Fan Only” setting as well. I try to only buy products that are built well, easy to use, reliable and kick ass. This little guy definitely falls into that category and checks all the boxes for me. I guess you can say that I am a “happy camper”. …and everyone knows why campers are happy, right? I’m not sure, but if it has something to do with pooping in the woods, count me out. I do recommend this product and I am happy with my purchase. 5 Stars A+ 100%

We live in the South and so our house is basically designed for hot weather. Our heat pumps don’t cut it when it’s cold during winter. I have three AVH10’s and one AVH2. Now we have this new Vornado on our back porch that is enclosed. The room is 15’ x 32’, ceiling is vaulted 9-13’ tall. This new fan is the nicest vornado we own. We give vornado heaters as housewarming gifts. I have gifted one to my mom and my sister in the past. I say all this to explain why I love the company. I had one that went bad after a couple years and they sent me a new one. My mom’s had to be replaced as well. Most electric heaters don’t last more than two seasons if you pay attention and some of our vornado’s are 5 years old and still going strong. I place them in the various rooms that we use and run them on low and let the rest of the house stay cooler. I really like the fit and finish on this new model. It’s more expensive but I feel like it’s worth it and we will actually use the remote. I can hear it running softly if I’m next to it but have to be close by to hear it running on the low setting.

This space heater is easy to operate, and it’s remote control is very convenient to use. My house runs cold and this little heater helps to heat it up quite a bit.

I purchased the Vornado VMHi500 (2025 model) expecting effective room heating, but the performance has been extremely disappointing. Unless I am within about 2 feet of the unit, it does not noticeably raise the room temperature and instead feels like it’s circulating cool or neutral air, similar to a fan. I understand that Vornado uses air circulation rather than directional heat, but in this case the unit is not producing meaningful warmth beyond very close range. The room remains cold, and the airflow actually makes the space feel cooler unless you are directly in front of it. I have: • Used it in a properly sized room per specifications • Tried multiple heat and fan settings • Ensured adequate clearance and placement This behavior suggests either a defective unit or a significant design issue with this model. At this price point and given Vornado’s reputation, this level of heating performance is unacceptable. I would appreciate acknowledgment from Vornado and guidance on whether this is expected behavior or if my unit needs to be replaced.

Work well in a smaller room, but struggles for anything larger. Also works well as a fan.
