I could never get mine to work even in the room I was trying in. And I never saw where the money was credited back to my card once I sent mine back. So I can't say if it will work through walls . I couldn't even get it to work in the same room.

I can't answer that because I place the item on my back outside wall next to my door. One thing that I can say is about 25ft it didn't work, so my advice to you is go to a home center a buy a good one. Talk to a home center associate about what you are looking for, otherwise you will be spending money for nothing. My opinion.

Depending on the Distance and number/type of walls, yes. I think in most home situations it will work. I am using in the same room. They do make a unit with greater range, but based on other reviews I think I would try this one.

Not really. I use it in an office setting and it does not get much use. It looks good, though. By the way, I had to return it twice because it is poorly packed prior to shipping and arrived damaged on two occasions.

I have 2 of these. I have a black one in my office and it works very well. I am guessing the sq footage is 12 ft X 12 ft. I like the thermostat will cut off in case I need to leave my office for more than a few minutes. On the other hand- I thought this white one was going to work as well as my black one- it did not. After a month, it started popping and cutting off- just blowing out cold air. I'm not sure I would buy another Vornado off Amazon unless I had very clear return ability up to 60 days. For the few days it did work- it would heat up my about 20 ft X 30 ft bed/bath space, but it took several hours to do so. Overall, I think it will work well in a small room w/ no or few windows and in a square shape- it seems to loose effectiveness when the room curves and there are big windows.

i dont think it will work. even if you didnt have any kind of walls or interference it wouldnt work for more than 200ft. at least that is my experience. in my apartment it doesnt work for more than 30ft because its a concrete building

I have the small one on my desk at work. It has done well in my cubicle space. I would imagine it would work well in a small room, or bathroom. The larger one has done well in the living/dining/kitchen area of our apartment.

Trial and error. If you want beauty, probably won't work. Place it temporarily and see what channels you get in. Then move it again and see where you get the most channels. You can go online and see what directions the signals come from for you address. And usually the windows are the best, particularly if your building is brick. Usually the wall or window that faces the most signals. Mine is in a window and behind a room darkening shade and it does not seem to effect it.

It uses radio frequencies (not infrared). Yes, it will go through windows and walls. I can't comment on the range, as the furthest I've used it was about 30'.

Not in my case in the bedroom. The tv is on a bookcase in front of a window facing east. But the antenna works best fixed to the WALL, above the doorway to my bathroom, which faces south. I've tried several times, and it just doesn't work well in the window. It DOES work better in the window in my den; the window in my den faces SOUTH. Most of the towers are about 20 - 30 miles SOUTH of me.

To tell you the truth I only tried it in an office and maximum distance of maybe 30 - 40 feet. I shall try it in a parking lot and get back to ya.

It has worked for me in a 1930's home with 2 layers of cement board plaster, and one layer of drywall (with baby on the 2nd floor and me in the basement). In addition, I know my monitor works outside of her room up to 3 blocks away. If I go any further than that, it beeps to let you know. But the range is definitely great within our old house, with multiple layers of drywall, 2 baby monitors, and Wi-Fi. No interference.

I think it needs to be a good couple of inches off of the wall. However, I am not 100% sure, I would have to look when I get home. I don't think you need to wall mount it though. It sits perfectly on a desk and, personally, doesn't hurt my eyes to sit that close to this beauty.

It will work from 30 to 40 feet from your computer or phone. Through walls 20 to 25.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.
