OSCTH1 Oscilatting Tower Heater

Warms the room quickly . Great piece to have.

Works great. It's small and pretty quiet.

This heater is not approved for sale in Canada. Both units shipped to me had loose rattling parts inside, and the setup instructions clearly say to not use it if it sounds like there's loose parts. Buy at your own risk.

Quiet and warm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really renovated our porch from three season to four season. I like to keep plants there because of the great south sunlight. It does get chill in the Minnesota winters, so we've been utilising a space heater in the area. What really excited me about this product was the extra built in safety features. I have small children, so I have to be aware that they'll get into things. The fan in this unit is covered by smaller, finger safe holes. If the unit were to overheat it shuts down as well. Best of all, if it's knocked over it will power down. My current space heater only blew air in one direction. Im looking forward to using the oscillating function to spread heat around the whole room. There is also no need to store it in the off season, as it's a decent oscillating fan too. The minor downside I've noticed with this unit is that it's very easy to fingerprint up the touch screen/switch area. Not a big deal, really.

I purchased this for cold mornings and evenings to tide me through early fall without turning on the furnace and for when it is just a little to warm to light the wood stove. Very pleased. Mid Sept as I write the review I have only used it once. Due to the temps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After unboxing this heater I was very impressed with the design instantly. It's very sleek and the twist design gives it a beautiful silhouette that doesn't look like an appliance. It has a clean look that won't look awkward in your room. The size is also fantastic. It's not obtrusive in any way. The buttons are all soft touch, with no raised pads or grooves that will collect dust or get dirty, which is a huge bonus because that's one of my biggest pet peeves! After turning it on I set the temperature to 80 degrees to see how quickly it would heat up. I was very impressed at how the heat doesn't blast out like others I have had. I live in Minnesota so I have owned many a room heater, and while they do the job, the heat is so dry and always seems to smack you in the face. This feels like a warm breeze rather than a cloud of hot air. It also didnt dry out the room like they tend to do. The oscillation helps spread the heat evenly, too. I love that the lights are bright enough to see clearly but they don't light up the room. I am light sensitive when sleeping, so bright lights are a problem for me. The lights are all on the top and barely cast even a glow, while somehow remaining very easy to see. My favorite feature is the safety control. If the heater is tipped even a degree it automatically powers off. This is huge! I've always worried about sleeping with a heater in the room because they have been so dangerous and caused many fires. There are no exposed elements, but this safety feature really puts my mind at ease. I would feel confident putting this in my daughter's room overnight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been testing out this heater in the early mornings, and so far it is working quite well! It's summer here in Colorado, but our summers are typically quite short so I'm sure I'll have more opportunity to use this heater in the coming months. So far I'm really liking how the heater is designed to prevent the machine from falling over, and I also like how it oscillates. In the past, I've had problems with space heaters that are stationary and only heat a small portion of my room. That is not an issue I have with this one!

I've contacted Vornado via email and the rep seemed nice but I don't think she understood my questions even after clearly stating my concerns. Oscillator noise was easy to fix, just put resistance for a sec or two and it seemed to get in the right gear and stop the clicking. The thermostat needs help. 8 seconds to cool is not enough as the rate climbs another 3-5 degrees and takes 20 minutes or more to get backs to the ambient temp of the room. When it goes to off I put it on fan for 30-60 seconds to cool the heater to the ambient temp of the room which then shows it at 2-4 degrees less than the set temp.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Vornado OSCTH1 Oscillating Tower Heater to test. The tower heater is listed as being able to heat a whole room or can oscillate heat 80 degree. There are 2 heat setting for low and high and a fan only option. It listed as having 12 hour timer, tip over protection, 2 stage auto shutoff and a cool touch case. I love that its cool touch even with blowing heat out. I like knowing that my children won't get burn by accidentally brushing against it since they love to touch the buttons. It's really quite a sleek design and easy to use. I was mainly using the fan only option because its currently summer. I found it to be pretty quiet, you can hear the quiet white noise but that's about it. I did also test the heat option in one of my bedrooms that is always cold. It heated the room really fast since I set it for high. I love this. I can't wait to use it in the winter. This is such a cool looking and great working oscillating tower heater.
