The product, in the report: Vornado Mode: AWRH Color: Black: Serial: Jul-24-205473 Purchase around 11/1/2024 at Costco.
Vornado AWRH started on fire.\ The date was 12/27. They were set on heat 67 degrees. It was running maybe for 2 or 3 hours. It was sitting on a concrete floor. It did start smelling like burning silica but I was unsure where it was coming from. Yes the unit was plugged in and fit tightly, i did not use an extension cord. It was stored in a closet. It was used for weeks before this happened. No one was injured, there may have been some property damage from smoke, a fire did occur within the machine.
