Sending my second one back for replacement at this time. First one worked very well for about 7 months then just went dead. Second one arrived and worked fine except for a slight "ticking" sound when it was heating. I figured I could live with this. However, over time this "ticking" has turned into a very loud banging sound when the heater is on. Sleeping with the heater on is not possible. In fan only mode the ticking is much less so it must have something to do with the heating element. I will give this heater another try because it works so well when it works. A side note - the remote temp sensor on both models is of no value. Neither worked for me and temperature readings were erroneous at best.

We have had our TVH600 replaced 3 times. The first one lasted about 10 months before the automatic turn-off began to just shut the unit off all the time and eventually it stopped working all together. The second unit, we had for about a week and never worked properly! It tripped off constantly and smelled like it was burning, plus the cord would get really really HOT. The third unit worked for 1 day before the thermostat was reading 68 degrees and it was set to 72 degrees and blowing cold air. The company has been absolutely wonderful about replacing the units, but this particular model is garbage, plain and simple. Vornado is going to send me another model, this time, so hopefully this one works.

I was very close of buying the Vornado TVH600. The reviews that I have read were negitive enough to tell anyone that maybe we need to look at something else.

I have a 180 sq. ft. RV that has an integrated forced air propane heating system. I was looking for an electric alternative heating source for when I am plugged into 120 Volt electricity source. I settled on this model of the Vornado heater based upon the reviews at Amazon.
The first night I used it, it was 42 degrees outside - and app. 52 degrees inside the RV, which has double paned windows and heavy insulating window shades. I was somewhat disappointed at the forced heat being propelled by what I perceived as an underpowered fan. I have a vornado fan, and the volume of air being generated by the heater unit was app. 90% less tan that of the stand alone fan.
Nevertheless, the unit warmed the ambient temperature of the interior space to a comfortable degree within a relatively short amount of time - app. 20 minutes.
Then the carbon monoxide alarm in my RV was set off. I shut off the vornado heater, ventilated the RV (with ice cold air), and decided to try again the next day, when the ambient outside temperature was 64 degrees. Within a short period of time, the carbon monoxide alarm was again set off. It seems that using this vornado forced air heater in an RV for the minimal amount of time needed to raise the indoor temperature to a comfortable setting generates an unhealthy amount of carbon monoxide.
Having used the propane fueled ducted heat in the RV without tripping any alarms, I conclude that the carbon monoxide is not a product of heating the interior surfaces/finishes of the RV. I googled this model of forced air vornado heater and carbon monoxide, and found no relevant hits. Perhaps it is simply not able to be used inside an RV.
I am returning the item to Amazon, and will replace it with a different brand of forced air electric heater. Only then will I be able to tell whether carbon monoxide production is a feature of this class of product, or just the vornado.
I would advise anyone buying this product to take the precaution of also purchasing a cheap carbon monoxide alarm.

Pros
1. Heats evenly
2. Remote control
3. Compact
4. Attractive design
Cons
1. Only one speed (which there were more speed options)
2. Expensive
Both my Vornado TVH600 and my friend's stopped turning on within a season of use. My friend was able to find a receipt and send it back for repair (paying for shipping) and the one they sent back turned on but the lcd display went blank within a day. Not a fan of the product...it's way too expensive for that track record.
