Vornado SRTH

Space Heaters
Recall notice

In June 2026, Vornado Air recalled 225,000 Small Room Tower space heaters because the fan blade can detach from the motor shaft, slowing or stopping the fan and potentially leading to overheating and a fire hazard. The units were sold between August 2013 and May 2026 at stores nationwide, including Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and ACE Hardware, and online at Vornado.com and Amazon.com.

This is in addition to a March 2023 recall of 1,455 units due to miswiring that could cause overheating and pose a fire hazard. Those units were sold in November and December 2022.

Consumers should stop using the recalled heaters and contact Vornado at 844-205-7978 or online at recalls.vornado.com for a refund.

About

The Vornado SRTH is part of the Space Heaters test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Space Heater models like the SRTH are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Room heating: A high score means the space heater raises the average room temperature more during a 15-minute period. A top-scoring model delivers a strong heating performance when heating a room.

Spot heating: A high score means the space heater raises the temperature of a seated person when placed nearby and aimed directly at them during a 15-minute period. A top-scoring model delivers strong, focused heat.

Burn risk: A high score means the heater stays cool enough to touch briefly, even at its hottest setting. A top-scoring model should be less likely to cause burns during use.
