when it started to smell like burnt plastic I gave up and cooled it off and just returned

I had the AVH10 and I was a bit disappointed for the price. It felt identical to the $20 walmart one as far as heat. More features, like LCD/built in timer, and felt better built.

my AVH10 Vornado heater suddenly stopped working. I took off the bottom panel (was used to wrap the power cord) and that revealed the safety switch that turns the heater off if its not positioned upright on the floor.

invested in good quality space heaters (1 for each bedroom and 1 for the living room/kitchen) and saved SO much money and we now have a cozier space with adequate heat

I found a Vornado model with a useful thermostat and good "projection" that does a good job keeping a space at a fairly consistent temperature

This Vornado AVH10 is hands down the best space heater I've ever used.

I like the Vornado AVH10. It’s a little more expensive ($90 USD) but it has a thermostat, a digital display, and a fan only mode so it doubles as a regular fan the summer. It’s also safe if you have young kids or pets because there’s no exposed heating elements.
