Score: 85/100
Vornado Velocity CUBE 5 OSC
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Vornado Velocity CUBE 5 OSC is a 1500 W heater that uses Velocity Tuned Heat technology and 70° oscillation to quickly warm rooms of 100-300 sq ft, featuring a remote, timer and robust safety features. It does not provide a precise thermostat display and is heavier than some competitors. Ideal for users seeking fast, whole-room heat with modern controls and strong safety protections.
The Lasko FH500 combines a 1500 W heater with a four-speed tower fan, offering Auto Eco thermostat, remote control, and full-room oscillation for spaces up to 300 sq ft. The product lacks third-party reviews and detailed noise specifications. Best suited for those wanting year-round climate control in a single compact tower.
