Vornado Ceramic Space Heater VC-01+
Vornado Ceramic Space Heater VC-01+ is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Running the furnace to warm one room wastes energy you never feel. Vornado's VC-01+ takes the opposite approach by moving heated air out into the room instead of only warming the air right in front of the grille, so you feel it from your desk chair rather than only within arm's reach.
Sized for a shelf or a desktop, this ceramic heater measures 5.87 x 9.69 x 7 inches (H x W x D), so it sits beside a monitor without crowding your workspace. At 4 pounds, you can move it from the home office to the bedroom in one hand, and the 6-foot cord reaches an outlet across the room.
Key Features and Benefits of the Vornado Ceramic Space Heater VC-01+
- Velocity Tuned Heat: Airflow carries heat up to 4 feet in Personal mode and up to 8 feet in Whole Room mode.
- 1,500 Watt Output: Full ceramic heat output runs on a standard 120 volt outlet, drawing up to 12.5 amperes.
- 4 Heat Settings: Low and High in both Personal and Whole Room modes give you 4 settings to match how cold the room is.
- Touch Controls: Electronic touch controls handle power and heat mode selection, then let you choose Low or High output and set the timer without fiddly dials.
- Programmable Timer: Set the timer for 2, 4, or 8 hours so the heater stops on its own after you fall asleep.
- 15 Degree Tilt: Manual tilt of 15 degrees aims warm air up toward seating or down toward a floor-level workspace.
- Tip-Over Protection: Power cuts immediately if the heater is knocked over, which matters in rooms with kids or pets.
- 2-Stage Shutoff: Automatic overheat shutoff also triggers if airflow gets blocked by a blanket or furniture.
- Cool-Touch Case: Flame-retardant V-0 housing stays cool to the touch, and tight grille mesh keeps small fingers out.
- ETL Listed: Independently tested to ETL safety standards, with a 20-second fan-only cool-down before the heater fully powers off.
- Reusable Pre-Filter: The reusable pre-filter keeps dust out of the airflow and can be vacuumed clean periodically.
Personal or Whole Room: Which Mode Should You Use?
Choose the mode based on how far you sit: Personal mode concentrates heat in roughly a 4-foot zone, which suits a desk or reading chair. Whole Room mode stretches that reach to about 8 feet, better suited to a bedroom or living room seating area where warmth needs to spread past one person. A fan-only setting with Low and High speeds keeps air moving on mild days without heat. The front grille gets hot in use and needs about 10 minutes to cool; the heater will not start in temperatures below 0 degrees F, so an unheated winter garage is not the right spot for it.
Sylvane's Expert Take
Choose this heater if you spend your day in one room and would rather not heat the rest of the house to stay comfortable. It performs best on a desk or shelf, or beside your nightstand, within about 8 feet of where you sit. The standout is how quiet the low-speed setting is, quiet enough for sleeping or a video call. Weigh the timer and the tip-over shutoff most heavily, because together they let you leave it running without a second thought.
