Igloo MWC496 Water Cooler Dispenser, Hot/Cold, White Review

Customer Ratings:

Good: The water did initially have a plastic taste but a few mL of bleach and a couple of run throughs eliminated the plastic taste

Bad; The dispenser is too small and the flow rate is poor

Ugly: Our unit has a mind of its own. It leaks about once a month resulting in water puddles on the floor. This unit is awful!

A GREAT BUY FOR THE PRICE!! IT WAS SHORT THOUGH. WE JUST SET IT UP A LITTLE STURDY TABLE IN OUR KITCHEN. I DO WISH THERE WAS MORE ROOM FROM THE TAP PART TO THE DRAIN PART AND WISH THE WATER DISPENSED A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY. BUT HAVING SAID THAT IT WAS A GREAT ITEM FOR THE PRICE!! NO MORE CARING GALLON JUGS TO WALMART FOR WATER NOW!! JUST TAKE A 5 GALLON JUG WHEN WE NEED IT..SO MUCH EASIER. ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR A DISABLED PERSON IF THEY NEED SOMETHING WHERE THEY HAVE TO USE GOOD WATER. WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND EVEN WITH A WATER SOFTENER OUR WATER IS TERRIBLE. SO THIS IS PERFECT!!

This water cooler is very reasonably priced and a worthwhile investment for my office. It took about a week for the initial "smokey" taste to wear off but now the water tastes great. The cold is very cold and the hot is very hot. I was pleased to find a safety feature on the hot water handle.

The dispenser is smaller and shorter than it appears in photo. That's why it's so cheap. We bought one and returned it the same day when we got it due to an electric shock and malfunctioning. Pay more to get a better one if you plan to use it for more than a few years.

Review of Soleil Parabolic Halogen Heater

This is a wonderful little heater. There is a high and a low and each one will oscillate as well. If you are looking to heat a room this is not the heater for you, but if you are just looking to sit down and read a book or browse the internet this this thing is awesome.

We wanted a simple stove to heat approx 1000 sq ft. This stove works very well, at times, too well! Husband installed w/o much trouble. Pressed logs work great with this stove making burn times longer thru the night. Depending on wood used and temps outside, it may be necessary to stoke during the overnite hours. This is our main source of heat and it does the job.

Pros: cost

fire view

easy to use

works well (very hot)

4-6 hrs burn time depending on wood

Cons: No ash clean out tray

dirty

door needs tightening often

small fire box

We plan to install a wood cook stove in a year or two to replace this. We will move this stove to our lower level.

I purchased these heaters in October 2012 after one of my cats knocked over the Lasko heater and scorched the rug which could have caused a house fire! Luckily I woke up in time!

This heater makes very little noise (at least not enough to bother me, anyway) and it has a tip-over safety switch which makes it far safer for homes with pets, little kids, or clumsy big-footed adults. The one thing I would like to see added would be some sort of detachable filter that one could wash as we live in a very dusty area, but since it does not have this I find blowing them out with the leaf-blower (Outside, of course!) once a week does the trick. (You would be amazed at the amount of dog and cat hair that gets inside space heaters, even if you do vacuum and clean regularly, not to mention the dust!)

I find that they heat well. Unless it is way below freezing, I only have to use one heater for our large main living area, one in each bedroom, and that's it. Even with the cost of electricity it is much cheaper than running the propane furnace. One thing you have to make sure of is that the heater is on a flat surface; in other words if you put it on a sculpted carpet it may not turn on because of the safety switch. Just adjust it a bit and it will work fine.

They aren't very pretty, but I prefer safety and practicality to looks. When he first saw one of these heaters my husband said, "Hey, where did you get the bowling ball?" and tried to kick it. So they do look like a bowling ball from above but at least you can see them. The handle is built in so they are really easy to move out of your way when cleaning and everything but the front metal grate stays cool to the touch when the units are operating, which prevents above mentioned pets and rugrats from accidentally scorching something just brushing against it.

I find it difficult to read the settings from above but these heaters weigh next to nothing so it is no problem to pick them up to adjust the temperature or turn them off.

Overall, I would definitely recommend them to my friends (and have done so)and to anyone with pets, kids, elderly folks or the terminally clumsy.

Customer Ratings:

I was surprised to find that this warmer is essentially identical to the warmer offered for sale by Mr. Coffee, at a much greater cost. I am unimpressed with the Mr. Coffee warmer, and this one, as they fail to keep a mug of coffee hotter than luke warm, especially when the mug is more than half full. If someone can point out a decent mug warmer, I would be grateful. Incidentally, these warmers should never be used as coasters as any water on the warming surface will find its way into the electric element and destroy the warmer this is yet another reason not to buy this warmer.

I bought this recently and set it up right away. The high setting is loud for sensitive sleepers but if you need white noise to fall asleep the humidifier can double as a sleep machine. It puts out a nice cool mist on both high and low. PROS: It has a nice design -It is a solid performer -It is easy to fill CONS: The tank and the wick cover sometimes are easily disturbed -it is a little clunky -the grill on the fan cover disperses the mist mainly in one direction when it looks as if it would be omni-directional. FINAL THOUGHTS: I recommend it highly but wish the wick was cheaper to replace (around 5 bucks 2 times a year) but considering the other ones on the market it is still a good buy.

This is a good product. it has it's pro's and con's. First, it is loud when you use it on full blast. So, either deal with the noise or just turn it on early before bedtime on a medium speed so the room has time to "get humid". Secondly, it's annoying to have to take it apart everyday (which you have to do to prevent mold, but I believe it's something you have to do with all of these things... not just this one). On a high note, it seemed to help and I haven't had any problems with it mechanically. I'd purchase it again and recommend it to a friend.

PS: the noise is kind of a good thing for baby like white noise. I'm a light sleeper though and didn't like it I kept it on medium all the time.

We bought this unit at Babies R Us to combat dry winter indoor air. We were specifically looking into cool mist versus a vaporizer because vaporiers will add heat to the room along with moisture. We chose this unit because it uses evaporation to put the correct amount of moisture into the air instead of "spray" moisture into the air like other units. Filters last 3 months, although they appear dirty after a couple of uses we found out (after calling) that that is supposed to happen and it does not mean that they shouldn't be used. The tank is easy to fill and carry and the units fan adds that pleasant "white" noise that I actually found soothing. This unit is great if you want to take the guesswork out of using a humidifier. Will buy another for the living area.

Honest reviews on Vicks V3500N Cool Mist Humidifier 1.1 Gallon

I just bought this humidifier yesterday but I am very impressed with it already. My 5 month old has had a cough so bad it was making him throw up. Two nights ago (before the purchase) he had stayed awake almost the enitre night. Last night he slept great--9.5 hours with only waking up once. I turned the humidifier on the high speed which is loud, but this is a child who falls asleep to the vacuum cleaner. I have to say the room got cool but it sure helped a ton. Also it ran for 10 hours and still had water left, but we also have good water here in Memphis so I guess the length of time it runs has to do with the water condition. It was also very easy to open and fill with water. I love this product already.

I have had my filter for 1 year and use it only in the winter to counteract the dry heat. Last winter I ran through 3 filter for the season, and this winter it looks like I will do the same. I want to consider a second one for my upcomming baby, but I am trying to see it there are any other better on the filters. The filters are $8-9 a piece. They grow mold very quickly. They last 3 weeks to a month. It is very quiet, feels good, and works great on my sinuses. But keep your nose alert for the mold smell, and prepare your pockets for the filters.

Be forewarned!!!. Cutting into your wall is not a simple task.

This is NOT a window box it IS a kit to install a window unit through a wall you Will need to create a hole in the wall to put this through.

I've installed kits like this a few times it's a wonderful idea for a pertinent installation of what is normally considered a tacky yet important appliance.

Things you should know before starting this project.

Location of studs. (you will need to put this box in between studs never cut through a stud to install this device. If the stud spacing is to small consult a professional before you attempt an install. or risk you whole wall collapsing with half your roof.) if you must cut through a support you will need a double header and footer around the box.

Location of outlets and wires inside the wall

(You don't want to cut through any wire/pipe in your wall so don't put this OVER a plug as most plugs are dropped in from the attic or above(even if you live in a trailer.)

Ok dangerous part over with. :)

These last few items and hints are just for looks.

1. Get some molding to go around the exposed edge.

2. Have some foam or flashing to put on the outside of the box or risk water inside the wall in storms (basic stuff)

3. Have all the tools you'll need BEFOR you punch that hole in the wall.

4. Have a friend on standby just in case.

Not all kits will have molding or (make pretty) bits a bobs so expect to go to a home supply outlet of some-sort

Installing these isnt all that hard a proficient carpinder can do it in under an hour. But expect to spend most of the day on it. think weekend project take it slow.

Oh ya almost forgot.

run the AC on a flat surface for a while BEFORE you start in on the box and figure out how much of an angle you will need to insure the blasted thing drains OUTSIDE! and i mean let it run for a while it takes upwerds of 5 hrs to get a liquid buildup enough to drip.

Depending on the kit itself and your local humidity you may need to drill in a drain hole near the back of the kit (NOT THE AC) the kit! don't go drilling into your AC

Tools i used.

Tape Measure

Level

Drill

Hammer

nails/screws

Screwdriver bit for drill.

Saws-all

Flashlight

dust mask (drywall dust and junk)

screw driver (for where the drill wont catch)

old sheet/tarp

drill bits. one big one for starting the saws-all

(double header)

one to two 2x4's

Ripsaw (hand saw circular saw .. something to cut the 2x4)

LONG nails and or wood screws (DO NOT USE DRYWALL SCREWS)

Spare Drywall the hole inside will probably be larger than the required size for the box if you have to make a header. (drywall make pretty junk)

To make your life a little more easy use some header hangers (steel strips to hold up the header instead of just nails.

to create the header.

open the wall back untill you can see 3 studs

Cut the center stud out to the apropret gap.

Cut the 2x4's to the length to span the gap between the 2 outer studs you will need 4 of these.

Check your fit

Screw the 2x4's together lengthways to make them 4x4's

Use the hangers or nail in these new headers to the other studs and secure the center stud to the header. the connection point to the outer studs is the important part.

Pick where you want your box cut the outer hole and install.

Patch Drywall make it nice and install molding around the box slide the AC plug it in and enjoy the cold air. :)

Pros:

This is a durable wall sleeve. With a little effort the pictures on the instructions can guide you through a solid installation that will be heavy duty. If you feel comfortable cutting through drywall and adding support beams to studs, you can handle this project in a weekend. Having this wall sleeve makes it easier to insulate around the sides of the A/C unit for an air-tight installation. Hot outside air stays out, cool inside air stays in.

Cons:

The instructions are very poorly written. They offer different details depending on the brand of wall sleeve, but it's not easy to determine the brand of this wall sleeve. I measured the dimensions and made my best guess from there.

Also not clear in the instructions is that you need to REMOVE THE BACK PANEL. You won't know this from the instructions. The back panel is a sheet of aluminum and a grate. The sheet of aluminum should be removed and the grate only placed in the back of the wall sleeve. I installed it with the aluminum in place and the A/C unit will overheat in about 3 minutes, shut off the compressor, and only blow hot air. Then the unit won't blow cold air again until it cools off again. ($65 service call later...) I removed the aluminum and left the grate and the A/C unit has been working fine. The hot air is now free to escape from the back of the wall sleeve.

I'd also like to see a water drip or spigot thread on the back of the wall sleeve. The condensation from the unit will collect in the wall sleeve and drain to the back where there are two holes in the lip of the sleeve. I rigged something to help it drip away from the unit, but it would have been preferrable to have something engineered as a part of the sleeve.

There were a few minor corners bent when my wall sleeve arrived. Better packaging could prevent this.

This sheet-metal box is worth about twenty bucks. It doesn't come adequately packed, mine arrived in poor shape. The workmanship is indifferent, the foam baffles were attached incorrectly. The installation manual was written by someone with a strong aversion to communication.

Would have been nice if the home store I special ordered the main wall unit from had informed me that I needed to special order this sleeve also. Although Amazon promptly sent me this product asap. Happy isn't the word when I saw the box arrive just 2 days after I ordered it. I was so upset that I had already put a hole in my wall and had to seal it best I could til it arrived. Pretty easy to put in but you do need 2 people unless you want stuff falling.

I can't believe companies even sell clip on stroller fans that have hard plastic blades, but they do. This fan is superior because the blades are foam. If the baby sticks their fingers in the blades while the fan is running, they will not be hurt. All the fans I saw in stores had plastic blades and I just don't see how it is safe at all.

This fan kept my baby cool and comfortable in her stroller even when the temperature was over 95 degrees. She loved having a breeze on her face. The color and pattern is cute too. Would also be good for a bigger kid to take to camp and hook on their bunk bed at night.

It seems delicate to me. I had it in my diaper bag when we traveled and it broke apart in my bag. It switched on in there too and ran the batteries down. My son loved it and its very safe for kids to touch. The blades are just a soft foam. My son really loved it and grabbed at it a lot. He pulled the piece holding the blades off a lot!!

This fan is great! It clips on the car seat, stroller and just about anything. I had so many people ask me where I got it. Our son touched the blades when it was on and it didn't hurt him since they are foam. However, don't let your kiddo get too close or they'll rip the blades off. That's what our son did.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $39.99
Today's Bonus: 11% Off

The product image shows the unit beyond fill capacity for an added "coolness" effect with the water boiling.

The "NESCO" logo becomes very hot to the touch.. so after refilling the lid will need to be closed very quickly or with something to cover your hand to prevent burns.

The first time I filled it up with cold water from the tap (as per the instructions), I thought it took a long time to boil. So then I timed a few boils using cold tap water (wastes least water, most realistic usage scenario for majority of my time):

Boil time 1 not timed, 8 cups

Boil time 2 10:30.0, 8 cups

Boil time 3 2:46.1, 2 cups, no cooldown

So when the product description says "in a matter of minutes hot water will be ready", I think they're going based on the minimum fill amount of 2 cups.. or having filled it with already hot water from the tap. Timing is done from switching power on to when it auto-shuts off using the stop watch on my iPhone. So it may have a second or two margin of error due to reaction time.

After 4 full boils (directions recommend 2) there is still an extremely slight plastic smell to the water which I imagine will go away after a few more full runs. There also appears to be a very light flavor difference between the boiled water from this unit and from our stainless kettle on the stove. It's hardly noticable and when I mix up 3 cups, one boiled from this, one from the microwave, and one from the stove.. I can't accurately pin-point where each was boiled.

Ultimately, I purchased this for convienance. My wife is from the UK; both of us are big coffee and tea drinkers.. waiting for the kettle to boil on the stove top was getting old. Boiling water in an electric kettle is more energy efficient and opens up a space on our stove top again where our stainless steel kettle once sat.

The lighting on the unit is kind of cool but the kids seem to enjoy it more. The light isn't as bright as shown in the product image and is somewhat overpowered by normal lighting within the kitchen.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Now if only they would boil as fast as they do in the UK.. ;)

As someone who lived in the tea-drinking land of the Brits for years, I am fussy about my cuppa. I use distilled water and would be the first to reject the appliance if there was any taint to the taste of the water.

When I unwrapped the kettle, the first thing I did was boil a mixture of tap water and white vinegar, at least a cup of the latter. Be careful if/when you do this -the mixture will literally jump out of the spout of a full kettle when it comes to a boil, so make sure there's nothing like paper or flesh that can be splashed! Then I poured the vinegar mixture down the sink, rinsed the kettle with tap water, filled it with distilled water and boiled a faultless cup of tea.

The kettle is well-designed so that water neither dribbles short of the cup nor leaps past it when pouring, and the balance is good when grasping the handle from well down the side.

The blue light is hoopy, too.

This 'Nesco Electric Kettle' will bring a cool mood to your kitchen.

The kettle turns on a beautiful true blue color to light up the water while it is in the heating process and turns off along with the heating element at the moment the water reaches boiling point.

As much as this kettle is electric, it doesn't sing that tune, so you'll have to rely on viewing the kettle to know whether or not the hot water is ready. If you don't care for that tell-tale kettle's whistle though; not hearing it just might have you dancing along with the bubbles in the boiling water. Those bubbles produce quite a show and are a pleasure to observe if you have a fascination for that sort of thing. The entire front half of the kettle boasts a large clear/opaque plastic viewing pane to enjoy this lighted experience.

There are a few key points to note from my experience with this product.

*kettle only boils water, no other substances are to be heated with this appliance (for best performance don't put tea bags inside either)!

*kettle does not have a way to maintain water at a constant hot temperature for prolonged periods/ no keep warm feature

*once the kettle boils the water, it does turn itself OFF.

*minimum boiling volume is 2 cups at a time, maximum is 8 cups

*kettle comes in two parts; cordless kettle and corded kettle base

*kettle has AUTO OFF built-in feature, no permanent ON feature

*ON switch is on the kettle, not on the base; there are no switches on the base

*interior base is the most metal to come into contact with the water, everything else touching water is plastic

*there is no glass in this appliance

*kettle swivels freely full-circle 360 degrees on base so you can place the handle at any angle

*kettle base takes about as much room as a standard 6 inch round cake pan sitting on the counter as far as surface area

*best practice: to empty out kettle after use as it is not recommended to leave water sitting in the appliance for prolonged periods to prevent eventual calcification

*the filter, a small sieve/strainer located inside the kettle just in front of the pour spout, is removable for rinsing by sliding/slotting into place and is used to protect any sediments from within the kettle from being poured out into your cup

I recommend boiling and rinsing the kettle 3 or 4 times at full capacity prior to enjoying a beverage or meal with water from this kettle for the first time. after following this practice, i experienced no flavor taints in the water.

Overall a fantastic kettle and one of those must have appliances for anyone who enjoys often some hot tea and cocoa, instant ramen or even steaming hot towels used in cosmetic/therapeutic practices. My whole family has been using my Nesco Electric Kettle and commenting on how great it is. I think my old whistling stove top model is jealously retiring.

We've been using it for 1/2 year now. Workls well, we like it. Previous Krups worked for 13 years and though Nesco has some deficiencies, I still gave it 5-star rating.

not heavy, balanced (unlike new Krups)

Cons

you have to fill it above MIN mark/2 cups or it won't shut-off quickly, will be hot

I just ordered another of these for my grandchild in college. I was surprised at the reviews about the horrible taste and smell. I was worried about that the first time and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't taste of plastic and had no smell. I noticed Bonito Lil's review mentioned using distilled water and that's what I used because I wanted to leave the water in the unit until the next use. Finally, her description of the blue boiling water is right on. It's hoopy. If I'm having a hot drink after dark I turn off the light and watch it boil for my evening's entertainment.

I bought this heater to warm a small one bedroom (barely insulated) home and it did well when the temperatures outside ranged from 40-55 degrees but when it got into the teens and 20s outside, this thing could not compete. Typically I find that it raises the inside temperature about 17-21 degrees above the outside temp. When it was in the teens and twenties, I was only seeing about a 15 degree increase, on high all of the time.

I am pretty accepting of the fact that there was typically a consistent 20 degree increase in temperature, but now that mine has stopped working completely, I'm not such a big fan of this giant thing just taking up space in my room. I'm almost 100% sure that the problem is a faulty dial/knob. When I first started having issues with this knob was when for some weird reason it wouldn't turn on high anymore... only med and low. Then it stopped turning on when I turned it to med, only working on low. Then the orange "on" light started blinking when I would turn it on any setting, but not actually stay on. So now no light turns on and neither does its heating functions.

I got this thing less than 60 days ago by the way......

I've used the same one by duraflame and it also was not such a great experience either. Every 15-20 min, it made some weird creaking noise that got very old, very fast.

After much research and review of various heaters I came to the conclusion that this one would work great and it did.

We purchased a Pelonis 1,500 watt oil-filled radiant heater and could not be happier. It works great and we especially like the thermostat that works and keeps the rooms the right temperature. There is no oil smell at all with this unit. Having it on wheels makes it easy to move around on hard wood floors. BTW, you do not need to keep the unit next to a wall as it works just fine 2-3 feet away from the wall. I don't know how long it will last but am very satisfied with the unit thus far.

My delonghi floor heater quit working after about 10 years so I went to home depot to buy another affordable one. I ended up picking the pelonis because it was on sale. The first thing I noticed was the pungent odor it gave off so I didn't really want it in my bedroom where the air would be enclosed so I used it as the kitchen heater. Then, after a few weeks the plug melted so I replaced that. After a couple months the smell went away but then I started noticing burn marks on the outer surface of the metal from it running at a high temperature day in and day out. The metal began to warp so that I couldn't roll it properly either. Finally, after owning it for a total of 4 months it burnt out. I really wish I would have saved my money for something else.

We got rid of our old oil furnace, which no longer worked. We put one of the Pelonis in each room. We were disappointed at first. Then I realized it had nothing to do with how hot it got, but the circulation of the heat. So I put a small fan behind each one and set them to a very low blow setting. This gently circulated the heat around the room. We are very happy with this system of heating.

I saw there were no reviews for this waterbed so I bought it taking a chance(big mistake).

I wiped it up and a few hours later more had leaked out. Save yourself the headache I'm going through now and DO NOT BUY THIS.

This set from Enclume is attractive and well made, however you don't receive what is shown in the photo. The tongs in the photo are a 3 prong style, made of square stock, just like the other tools. Enclume now ships a cheaper, 2 prong tool that is less effective at grasping logs. The new tongs are also made of flat stock and don't exactly match the other tools in the set. Enclume does not make a disclaimer about the tongs, even on their own website. "Tongs is tongs" was the explanation given me by the reseller.

Whether you are buying the set for appearance, functionality or both, you may be disappointed with what you receive.

After 30 days. This is a great hammock...seems small at first but it very comfortable holds my wife and I at the same time. We've literally fallen asleep for a couple hours while listing to music as the dusk turns to night. Oatmeal color hides stains. Duracord is soft to the touch and dries quickly after rain. Haven't had critter issues yet. Weaving looks nice and appears durable. Stretch is adequate without becoming a problem. Steel and wood pieces are nicely finished...overall a terrific and relaxing addition to our yard.

Absolutelty top-notch. I left it out in rain, shine and fog for 6 months now. Don't have the energy to get it inside each time it rains (and oh boy, did it rain this summer in Dallas!). Each time sun shines back, my hammock is as great-feeling, as shiny and as taut as new. This weekend I had a party in my backyard, and my guests turned on the rough heat a little bit they were even using it as a swing, three adults at a time. I was a little concerned, but at the end it was as if nothing happened. Kind of the feeling you get after you complete your first cross-state long drive with your Honda or Toyota you are concerned whether your car is OK, but that trip was not even as much as a dent on its mind-boggling robust engineering. Pawleys rocks!

Mine and my wife's inexperience at the beginning resulted in a very scarily tangled up knot all the hammock's ropes seemed to be tied to evry other piece of rope and passing through every other hole. But we slept on ot for a night, and gave it another shot next day. An intricate amount of mathematical calculations saved the day, and the hammock was straight again. It was us to blame in the first place be careful to handle the hammock the right way. While rolling up, use the wood bars at the ends as anchor. Do not try fancy styles or get inattentive while rolling it up or down.

Best Deals on Pawleys Island Original Collection Large DuraCord Rope Hammock

Having had Pawleys Island Hammocks before, I was glad to see the addition of the Dura Cord product line. I was a little apprehensive about the "feel" of the new material, but it is actually nicer than the old cotton one, and looks beautiful. Average lifetime of the cotton was about 4 years for us when left out all the time, so we will see about this one, but I trust the brand, so assume it will be better.

Honest reviews on Pawleys Island Original Collection Large DuraCord Rope Hammock

A great hammock! The antique brown color is perfect because it doesn't show dirt or marks as easilly as a white hammock would. It's a very comfortable hammock and fits very well on a hammock stand. My husband loved this as a birthday gift! If you are expecting rain, do take it inside as it takes quite awhile to dry out.

I received a Pawley's Island hammock as a gift in July, 2009 (birthday). It was the new DuraCord version. It was comfortable but the rope deteriorated and broke by August of 2010, just one month past the one year warranty, and was not in a place where it could be retied. My previous hammocks made from the traditional cotton rope have lasted 4-6 years on average. I think they have some work to do on the duraCord product!
