I was a little worried about the installation but because I had access to the attic above the bathroom it went well. I removed the existing light fixture since there are other lights in the bathroom and removed the electrical box. Next I cut the opening larger to accomodate the 9422P. I slid it between the beams from the exposed attic side after moving some insulation. Wired it up, slapped on the plastic grill and turned it on. I used 2 red heater bulbs and I have to say it doesn't make a big diffrence. The bulbs were GE Heat Lamp, 250 Watt 4.8 out of 5 stars Price: $7.69 . I do have a large bathroom 140 sq ft and maybe that's why I don't feel a lot of heat. The point is it will help but don't have high expectation that it will make a huge difference.

I ordered this unit for work, so I wouldn't have to keep buying soft drinks from the vending machine. It does work in that capacity, but there are some annoyances with it, and some limitations.

First I'll start off with the positives. It's lightweight, and it's really attractive. It also does cool things pretty well. I can't comment on warming things up, because I haven't tried it.

The negative part is it is quite large for what it can hold. And more than that, the insides don't hold temperature very well at all after you power it down. It warms up way too fast. Also, unlike a compressor based refrigeration unit, this thing is on all the time. Lastly, you are only supposed to run this for 48 hours consecutively, after which time you need to power if off for one hour. This is not stated in the description, but is an annoyance.

So, overall, it's not bad, because it does keep things quite cold, and you can put most things in it (2 liter bottles you have slant a little). Particularly at work, it can save you money, and give you a much better selection than the vending machine since you can bring in whatever you want. You will also get comments on how beautiful it is; it's that attractive. Just be aware of its imperfections so you won't be disappointed.

I bought two of these and as an electrical engineer I can attest that the circuit board inside the can is cheaply made and poorly designed; the cord heats up after a while and the unit will eventually die. This mini-fridge is defintely a fire hazard. If you buy this, you should invest in a timer to shut the unit down for an hour or two per day, maybe 2AM to 4AM.

FYI:

I also bought the Pepsi Can fridge and it is a beast. I never unplug the unit and it has been running for 6 months now. It is a little smaller than the Coke can (which is great) and it does not have an ugly AC/DC converter brick (not shown) hanging from it like the Coke can does. The Pepsi can's power is converted internally; only a cord is exposed and not any ugly power brick.

Update: Both Coke Frigdes died in less than 4 months of constant use. The Pepsi Fridge eventually died after 7 months. I recommend to stay away from these fridges. They are great to look at but they are NOT made for everyday use.

Update2: I opened up the two Coke fridges and the Pepsi fridge, and realized a biasing capacitor blew in each. I went to RadioShack and bought replacement caps, and now I have my fridges back. Easy fix for those who can de-solder a part from a small circuit board, and replace it with an equal (or better part). I bought capacitors with a higher breakdown voltage (100V rating), so it will be able to take a little more abuse.

Honest reviews on Koolatron CC10 Coca-Cola Can Cooler

I got this for Christmas and it stopped working after 6 months. I called the manufacturer (Koolatron) and they said it only has a 90 day warranty. When I said it's only been 6 months, they said that the refrigerator was from China, so it wasn't warrantied past 90 days. They offered that I could buy a new motor $30 or new AC adapter ($40). Don't buy this please. You can do a lot better without the hassle. I also had to buy a little thing that turned it on/off every night, so the total cost of this thing far outweighs its cuteness.

I purchased this because it has the ability to heat and cool and dehumidify using a heat pump. I plan to use it as a very powerful dehumidifier that I can use to occasionally heat / cool my basement. I got the portable unit so I could unhook it and take it to other homes to help with dehumidifying carpets after steam cleaning and flooding.

I was hoping that the unit could be permanently installed and that I would never have to deal with the hoses again but it turns out that for the functions to work correctly you need to connect the hoses differently.

For each mode there are different ways to hook up the hoses in the back.

a. For air conditioning mode both hoses are attached to the window adapter plate.

b. For fan mode it doesn't matter how the hoses are connected.

c. For dehumidify mode both hoses are removed from the unit and you need to install the provided covers on the window adapter plate.

d. For heating mode you should disconnect the input hose and put the provided cover over the window adapter plate. I think that if the temperature outside doesn't get below 50 degrees that you could leave the input hose attached and that the unit would perform well.

As a result of these hose hookups the efficiencies gained by having 2 hoses only apply to the cooling mode. The heating mode will only use one hose and as a result create negative pressure in your home and pull colder outside air into structure if the home gets drafty it might be a good idea to open the lowest window in an unused room (basement) in the home a little bit to counter-act this pressure.

Where I live the temperatures fluctuate a lot so I can see myself switching the hoses around frequently in the spring and fall.

The hoses that run from the back of the unit to the window are about 5 inches in diameter and with the appropriate 5 to 6 inch adapter you can hook it up to longer pieces of 6 inch flexible HVAC tubing.

Here is where it gets interesting for use as a tool... This is a very powerful unit. When you put the unit in a 70 degree room and put it in Heating mode the exhaust hose pumps out air that is about 42 degrees. And when you put it in that same 70 degree room and turn on Cooling mode the exhaust hose puts out air that is about 140 degrees. If you connect HVAC tubing to the exhaust pipe you suddenly have the ability to focus a huge amount of very hot or very cold air on a specific spot or space.

The heat function does generate some condensation. there is a pump and a small tube to help remove the condensation. This pump works best if the unit is on a completely level surface. This is a great feature that keeps you from having to constantly drain the unit while it is in heating mode.

When it arrived it was obvious that it had been handled roughly, the box was dented on the bottom, one of the casters on the bottom was broken and two screws inside were broken off and rolling around in the base of the unit. I think this was the delivery company's fault and since none of the screws seemed to be in critical locations and I had an extra caster I decided to just let it be and I fixed it on my own. There are stress marks in the plastic on the bottom of the unit but it does not leak. I did not complain or try to contact anyone yet. I simply don't have time to deal with this and I just see this sort of damage as result of having big products shipped. I did have to disassemble the unit to retrieve the broken screws and it looked to me as if everything inside was thoughtfully laid out and connected.

This is a portable A/C-Dehumidifier-Heater unit. The description says 13,500 BTU. The box it came in says 14,000 BTU in cooling and 11,000 BTU in heating.

It has the much needed double vents so that both air in and air out come from outside. Units that do not have two vents pull hot humid air in through your home's walls causing a lose in efficiency. The ducting and window inserts are sound. They are not airtight, but that can be fixed with insulation foam.

The unit itself has a digital thermostat that is controlled by the display and buttons on top of the unit or by the included remote. All parts feel solid and high quality.

So far it is doing a nice job of keeping my entire 800 sq ft condo at around 77 degrees despite Houston, TX heat and humidity. I will update when I test out its heating capability.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I'm not impressed with the amount of heat it produces when in that mode. That said, the air conditioning part is the BEST! Once you figure out its thermostat is about 5 degrees above the real temperature in the room, it cools my 20' x 20' bedroom in less than 5 minutes. Waiting for the next electric bill, but I don't think this uses that many kilowatts. Actually, I really don't care being cool in this add-on room is worth any price. Now if only the heater worked better...I'll stick to my present heater that does the job and is inexpensive to run.

This is a product I'd love to like. I'm using it as a heat pump in mild Northern California weather, replacing electric baseboard heating. It puts out a good amount of heat and will probably be far more efficient than the baseboards. The second unit I received seems to be off by a few degrees on its thermostat, but I can live with that. It's noisy, but given the amount of air it has to move through a narrow duct in order to transfer heat efficiently, I can't really complain about that.

After one December's usage, it seems to have saved about 250 kWh over the electric baseboard, which means it will pay for itself in a year or less at PGE Tier 3 prices.

It has one of the dumbest user interfaces I've ever encountered -I actually sent one back before realizing I hadn't understood what was happening. Not only will it not heat beyond 77 degrees -it silently deactivates the temperature adjustments once the temperature has reached 77 degrees. Combined with what's either a badly calibrated thermostat, or a design that subjects the thermostat to the local heat in the unit, we've run it up to 77 just to get to 70 in the room.

Incidentally, I've got to praise Amazon's second line customer support. I ran into the problem about 35 days after purchase. An Amazon email droid refused to accept a return, but a really nice human being on the phone understood my problem and arranged an exchange. It was excellent, intelligent and understanding customer service that probably saved Amazon a customer.

I orderded two of these for two of the rooms in my house. I guess I'll start with the good points. They put off a considerable amount of heat! Will heat up my 12x12 and 8x11 room in less than 10 minutes. (from 65 to roughly 70) They have not really impacted my electric bill very much, as a matter of fact, I was quite suprised when I got the bill! Amazon did a great job packing and shipping the heaters to me. Now on to the places that need improvement. The first problem I noticed is that you can't install these units (and use the supplied braces) in old construction. I bought these to replace my radiant ceiling heat in my home. I was able to install them anyway. I just didn't use the braces. One of the heaters in my daughters room is very quiet, whereas the one I installed in my room will wake me out of a dead sleep. Not quite sure as to why. They are both exactly the same heaters, installed exactly the same way. That's really the only downfalls I can think of. If you are concerned with noise, I suppose go with the cadet versions. I have one in my living room and can't even tell when it's running (aside from the noticable heat).

We are really pleased with our fireplace. It looks great in our living room. We live in a small townhouse, and the fireplace keeps the living room toasty. The heat output begins immediately to move the ceiling fan on it's own, as the heat rises. The furnace now rarely runs. The bedrooms are cool, which is how we like it. We live in South Carolina, so winter nights are cool but not frigid. Our electric bill (furnace is an electric heat exchanger) was less than expected last month. Will continue to evaluate this as the winter progresses. So far, very happy with this purchase.

If you buy a Dimplex product, cross your fingers that nothing breaks because if you have to call their customer service/technical support you are in for wild ride. It will take you about 2 hours on hold to get through to a live rep (who has that luxury??). They'll tell you it's their "busy season" meaning it's wintertime (duh!)

Now, if you're lucky enough to actually get through to a live rep, cross your fingers again that your problem wont require them sending out a rep to fix it, because you will be told to expect a call in one-to-two-days to set up an appointment (they wont give you the number to call yourself, you must wait for the call). But then the call doesn't come and you realize that your only recourse is to call Dimplex. Now your back to going on hold for two hours again.

The good news though is that if your fireplace breaks down in the middle of summer when you don't use it, you'll be able to get right through to one of their reps.

I bought this for a bathroom fart-fan that is downstairs and because of it's age is a tad noisy. Because the kids use the bathroom there is a tendency for them to leave the fan on for hours on end. This solved that problem.

I have wiring experience so installation was simple for me but anyone that can use a screwdriver and pliers can install this. I looked at the timers that are longer but figured 5 minutes was long enough. The switch itself is robust and installed in my double switch box without problems. I needed the pliers to straighten the wires out. Total installation time was about 5 minutes 2 of which were spent making sure I turned off the correct breaker.

Luckily, the timer is very simple and robust.

It was unfortunate that the unit supplied did not have any screws for the terminals and did not switch at all.

On opening it up it was clear that the unit had not been assembled well. The fault was easily fixed.

I suspect that this unit had been returned stock which got mixed up with good new stock.

When working, the timer is quite robust and reasonably accurate.

The pros:

*I love the timer on top of the kettleI timed how long it took the kettle to heat to each ideal brewing temperature, and now I can just set the timer and leave the room. So convenient!

*It's attractive and goes well with the rest of my black appliances.

*The steeping basket is a good, fine mesh. Very little mess at the bottom with finer-cut leaf teas, and none at all with the larger leaf teas.

*Heats the water very quickly.

*The inside is stainless steel, so you don't get that weird plasticky smell/taste in your tea.

*Keeping the kettle clean, I have not had difficulty with staining or scale build-up.

*Takes the guesswork out of green and white tea brewing.

The cons:

*While I understand the cord is short for safety reasons, I do wish it was a bit longer. I also wish it was retractable.

*No whistle. It isn't really necessary with the timer, but somehow I'm just accustomed to my kettle whistling. Wouldn't affect my decision to buy it in the future.

*The timer only measures in whole minutes, when sometimes half-minute increments would be nice.

*The kettle won't maintain lower temperatures; you just have to unplug it when you get the temperature you want, and either steep a whole pot of the same kind of tea, or keep re-heating the water if you want to make different teas.

I'd been considering a few different, more expensive multi-temperature models of electric kettles/water dispensers, and I'm very glad I decided to go with this inexpensive (not cheap!) alternative.

A nice tea pot actually holds 40 oz, so you can't really call it a little tea pot. It does what it says it does, you put water in the pot and watch the temperature and when it gets to the right one, you put the tea in the infuser and put it in the pot. It is all pretty straight forward and a pretty good deal for the money. So the complaints I have read, it beeps when it gets to the last minute, well my stove does that too, because it doesn't time less than a minute, but will count down the last minute so you can stop it... important if you are brewing your tea for 2 and a half minute. The infuser is easy to put on. The thermometer is easy to read even with my bad eyes, same for the timer. So do I wish it had a longer cord, yes the cord on this is really short, do I wish it had an off button so when it got to the right temperature you can turn it off, yes, but I plugged into a surge protector and when it gets to the right temperature, I just flip the switch. Do I wish it was on a detachable base, you bet... but honestly for the price it does a great job and I am thinking of getting another, just so I have a back up. You want a system to brew tea and do everything for you well there is a $250 machine out there, for the rest of us, this works really well. And then we can spend money on the tea not the machine.

I haven't seen the electric bill yet so I'm giving this heater 5 stars. I had previously bought one of the propane Reddy Heaters (RLP50VA see my review on that) to heat my garage but that heater was completely unsuitable for that task. This one is perfect, it heats up the garage quickly and is quiet and clean. It is a 240v heater and requires a hardwired installation so is a little bit of a pain but I wired everything up and had an electrician friend come check out my work before I turned it on and all was OK. Needed a 30A dual pole circuit breaker and 10/2 wire along with a junction box and flexible connecting cable but it was worth the effort! My garage is a garage under (standard Colonial) 26x22 so the ceiling is insulated but nothing else is. Living in NH, a heated garage for working on the cars is pretty much a necessity and I would recommend this heater highly.

I built my woodshop which is well insulated (R19 in walls, R40 in ceiling) and about 460 square feet with 8 foot ceilings. Living in Iowa, I was skeptical whether this heater could do the job where it sometimes gets 10 to 20 below for several days in Dec and Jan. Those fears were alleviated.

If you are at all concerned that the heater can handle a level of cold that commonly reaches 33 below (wind chill) and -20 ambient temp, worry no more. I kept the heater on the third mark out of 10 and it maintained between 49 and 53 depending on the coldness of the night. When I went out to work, I turned it up to a tad beyond LOW and it leveled at 60 degrees. It's also very quiet in that I'm able to have a normal voice conversation with anyone present and we aren't really aware when it turns on. Very nice not have the smell of fuel oil in the air. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Edit as of 01-03-09. The local news just advised that here in my area, it is the 9th coldest December since 1897 when they started keeping track. They also said it is the second snowiest December on record. There were several days below 0 and a couple to -20 ambient temp which is common in those months any Winter. This small heater keeps up better than I thought it would.

Edit as of Dec of 2012 Unit still works like it was new. I'm now on my 5th Iowa Winter with this in the shop and haven't had any issue at all. I'd make the same decision tomorrow and highly recommend it.

I needed dependable heat for a small (480 sq/ft) woodworking shop. Prior to installing this unit I was using a Monitor kerosene heater which was plagued with mysterious 'shut-downs'. Because of limited space a wood stove was out of the question, so I gave this unit a try; it's more than adequate (I live in Maine) to maintain comfortable working temperatures even on the coldest of days. Got my first electric bill yesterday and it wasn't nearly as expensive to run as I had thought...adding maybe $100 to the total electric bill (and the unit is running 24/7)!

All in all, an excellent source of shop heat.

Honest reviews on NewAir G73 Electric Garage Heater - Safe and Reliable Heat for 500

I purchased this heater for my 700 sq. ft. shop with 12' ceiling (well insulated). In the first hour it raised the temperature from 43 to 55 degrees (F). After two hours temp. was up to about 60F. I was impressed.

It is small, quiet, and produces great heat for its size.

Thermostatically controlled fan will cycle on and off until the ambient temperature is above 55 or so, then will run continuously until reaching desired temp.

Good heat with poor documentation. Documentation does not give a clue as to how to connect to today's 240v 4 wire connections.

The heater requires a 240v 30amp 3 wire connection. I have a 30 amp 4 wire outlet. Therefore, I purchased a 4 wire 240v dryer pigtail from Home Depot. Then I connected black to black, red to white, and green to green (ground). Black and red are the two incoming hot wires in newer 240 volt 4-wire arrangements...I presume. I am NOT an electrican.

The 4th wire (white) in this case is not needed. I capped the white wire and tied it off inside the heater.

Expect some smoke in the first couple of minutes...from oils on the heating elements, etc. It is a nice heater considering price and size.

I subtracted one star in my rating due to the poor documentation.

I found it easy to install if your comfortable putting in 2 30 amp breakers and fishing some wire.

Actually, I did really well buying this and thanks to all the people who wrote reviews that helped me decide.

Customer Ratings:

I got this heater at Walmart about two years ago as an exchange for another heater that was recalled. I rarely used it until a few weeks ago. Seemed to work ok, not the best heat output but ok. But when I went to unlug the cord, the plug was so hot it burned my hand. Reported it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, but haven't heard back from anyone.

We bought three of these three years ago in an emergency when our main heater blew. The following winter, we tried to reuse them, and two out of three were broken. The one that did make it to the second year died soon after. I remember when things used to last more than 90 days. Avoid this product.

I use this in my babies room at night to keep him warm, it's a little loud when it kicks on and makes a scratchy sound sometimes but my baby sleeps right through it. it can warm his room on low, on the middle setting to about 80 degrees in 6 hours. pretty dang good in my opinion.
