Reviews of Aloha® ForceXL 8"x20' Utility Blower Hose

Customer Ratings:

This hose is extremely useful when coupled to the matching 8" blower. I use it to exhaust smoke, fumes, etc. from my garage when I'm wood or metal-working. The flexibility means that I can put the blower anywhere and direct the suction to where I'm working. There are four rings sewn in to the outside that can be used to suspend the hose (or hold it to a wall or floor).

On Halloween, you can fill the duct with white lights and make a 20' long glowing orange worm or path marker.

Cheap Stonegate® Black Storage Mantle Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

Looks great, got a bunch of compliments on this. The cabinets on the side are perfect. Like it that the light will run when the heat isnt running. it also needs to be plugged into a grounded outlet. Make sure you have one. Also really easy to put together and is not made cheap. Great product for a great price.

First I'd like to say it came by mail very quickly, less than a week (2 separate shipments) even though I chose the standard shipping. The box was a little torn up but nothing inside was damaged. I found it to be a bit of a pain to put together by myself, but it turned out to be quite worth the effort. I too left off the doors and like the look better without them, but to each their own. If you want a small decorative item to serve as a space warmer then I think its worth the money.

Do not purchase this item if you are looking for an electric fireplace that looks real. The firebox is very small. Their is only one log and the fake flames look like the side of the box is red. Below the log when light is on looks like a red rectangle. The painting done to make it look like coals does not even show. It is just a red rectangle. The fire has no realistic look at all. Looks more like a mobile light in a childs room. Very disappointed with this purchase. I would return it but I can't afford to and am stuck with this. Not even going to put in a room because it is such an eyesore. When I put my 42 inch tv on top it made the the whole entertainment center look tiny. Made the fire looks like a joke. My tv did not even fit on top and the tv stand hangs over the edge of the mantel by over 3 inches. Thought I was getting a good deal. Instead have a really thin, cheap looking eyesore. Buyers beware.

Honest reviews on Stonegate® Black Storage Mantle Electric Fireplace

The fireplace is a bit smaller than you would expect. I beefed up this entertainment center with 2 DVD holders I bought at Walmart for less than $20 each to make the Center look larger. Don't expect your DVD player and stereo system to fit in this. The fireplace is great, but small. I love the way it looks, and the heat is great. The doors aren't predrilled on the entertainment center, so you'd have to spend a lot of time figuring out where to place the doors so they are level, so we just left them off. Overall, a decent little buy, but wish we would have gone with a larger center.

We purchased one of these last year when our heat pump was running constantly, and costing us a fortune in heating bills. When we received it, I was sceptical but watched my meter, and received my first bill. WOW! My bill was reduced over $100.00 that month. I am a believer, so I bought one for my daughter in college, who loves it too.

The heater is powerful and blows air well. The problem is that a minor reason I purchased this was that I thought it would be quiet, but the blower makes a strange rattling noise. It isn't very loud, but it is noticeable. Worse, it is intermittent, so you can't even just get used to it.

While watching tv, it's perfectly fine, but once I'm ready for sleep, this heater is a bit annoying. I will probably move it to the living room or find a spot for it in the kitchen.

I bought this switch to time a low voltage system that turns on and off my gas fireplace. I can now turn on the fireplace and go to bed knowing it will time off. The switch was easy to program and install. So far it has worked flawlessly. I do not find the mechanical click it makes when going on and off, all that loud or offensive. I cannot comment on battery life yet. Would definitely buy again.

This is a BATTERY operated product although you could never figure this out from Intermatics irresponsibly incomplete product specifications. It requires a CR2 3Volt Lithium battery which you will have to replace after (in my case less than 1 year). The battery operates the loud mechanical relay in the switch so the more time the switch is ON the faster the battery will be depleted. I my area (Boston) this $5 battery is not a stocked item at either CVS or Radio Shack. The Intermatic product info leaves you with the impression that the battery might last up to 3 yrs but neglects to say this would be only if the switch was not actuated much. So if you your idea of a wall switch is something that needs at least yearly maintenance with a difficult to find expensive battery, then this is the product for you.

As if this was not bad enough, the product turns on or off only after a 1 second delay and with a disconcertingly load relay click that sounds like you have just turned on industrial machinery. If the sound does not irritate your wife then the delay probably will.

Worst of all is when the battery runs out the switch does not operate and you can't turn on the lights until you replace it.

This heater does a great job of heating my 24x26 two car garage in northern Indiana. It arrived from the seller within 48hours of placing my order with standard delivery. The only thing that keeps it from being a five star is lack of a mounting assembly. A little bit of chain wrapped around a ceiling joist took care of that though. It does require a special 240 volt outlet, but the materials to run it can be purchased at any home improvement store. It took me about 20 minutes to run the wire and install the outlet and breaker.

I live in Texas and have a 520 sq ft garage with ceiling/walls insulated, 1 car garage door not insulated and 3 windows. I checked around for code requirements in our area and wired the 240 v/30 amp electrical myself. Mounted the unit hanging down from the ceiling, turned it on and in 2 hours it already had the upper half of the garage up to 60f degrees when 35f outside. Let it run overnight and the garage was 75f next morning....low to mid 30s outside. Thermostat on the unit turns off the fan and heater coils once chosen temperature is reached. Shipper had issues getting the unit shipped... stated waiting for manufacture to ship. Per Amazon's recommendation, I had to send a followup e-mail to shipper to get status of shipment. After that, the shipper sent status mails until the unit had a shipping tracking number. If you need this unit, order early. Took 2 weeks to arrive from the day I ordered it. For our needs ... great price, compact unit and heats as expected.

Works fine, good heat output and surfaces stay cool. The "replaceable" heating element is a bit misleading since the heating elements cannot be found anywhere. If you buy this item, make sure the elements are seated properly because if an end is not properly seated it will burn out over time.

I've used it nearly every day since purchase. It works very well as an oven and as a microwave. I've also used the top and bottom grill with great success. I worried it wasn't going to heat, brown or bake sufficiently-but it does it all very well. The micro features work flawlessly and it cleans very easily as well.

Looks well constructed, nice design and backed by what I thought was a good brand name. I unpacked the first one and the handle fell off (glued to glass door with a heat resistant glue.) I exchanged it for another one. The timer would not turn off. Regardless of the setting, the timer would tick down to the "light" toast setting and stop. It could not automatically turn off. The case of the toaster also gets extremely hot, and the entire unit emits a chemical/plastic smell, which may go away with time. Further research indicated that the unit did not appear to be UL listed. I returned it to the store within 24 hours. The customer service department indicated they get many returned. Avoid.

I take toast very, very seriously. It is my favorite food. I have been looking for a toaster oven that can toast exotic items like bread. Turns out, the people at Black & Decker do not want me to make or eat toast.

This toaster oven toasts incredibly well. Incredibly. Well. In fact, it will toast your entire kitchen. With fire. This toaster oven actually takes bread and turns it into fire. It is a magical machine, full of mystery and wonder. If you love fire and toast, then this is the appliance for you. If you like to stay warm by the glow of a fire, then this is the appliance for you.

How to use:

1. Get fire insurance.

2. Put bread in toaster.

3. Extinguish. (Not with water though, that causes other problems, including, but not limited to, your toast being soggy)

It's pretty easy to use, except for step 1 which requires the use of a phone, which Black & Decker does not make, which is probably good because I don't like fire to be too close to my ears.

The con of this toaster oven is that it catches on fire.

The pro of this toaster oven is that it catches on fire.*

*Note this is a benefit only if you are a fire enthusiast. Otherwise, this toaster only has cons.

This toaster is not suitable for children or pets.

This toaster is not suitable if your kitchen contains anything flammable, such as furniture.

This toaster only comes in white but will turn black or brown after a few uses, so don't worry about the lack of color choices. Black matches everything.

The oven door does not close very easily.

It has a blue light, I guess that's cool.

The timer ticks. It sounds like this: tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Ding. WOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And then EEEEEKKKKK FIIIRREEEE!!!! PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT BUT WAIT FIRST LET ME TAKE A PICTURE SO I CAN POST IT TO MY FACEBOOK.

We purchased this toaster for the name of Black and Decker,and its solid reputation!

This toaster oven was purchased almost 2 years ago.

The knob fell off, and the rubber feet on the underside also fell out. We simply replaced it for the same model.

No problems whatsoever with the new one, except the rubber feet kept falling off.

About 6 months ago, the top heating element stopped working. We have been using it as is, but once again we are in the market for a new toaster oven.

I would like to mention we have been using B & D toaster ovens for over 20 years; the very first one lasted over 11 years.I expect Black and Decker products to be faultless,and to last a lifetime. Over time, I have seen B & D using cheaper parts ie, the knobs will be poorly made, handle not as sturdy, something else falling off, poor construction.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker TRO490W Toast-R-Oven Classic 4-Slice Countertop

I was disappointed that it already began to break down after 1 year of use. The indicator light fell out and the knob is loose.

It also is anoying that the crumb tray does not come out it just swings down on hinges so you have to pick up the entire oven to empty it. I expected better from Black & Decker, which I had thought was a reputable brand.

I had a B&D toaster oven for years and therefore decided to stay with the brand. WHAT A MISTAKE. Purchased from Target. This is the worst thing I have ever purchased. I've used it twice and it's going back today. Baked fine but the toast is an issue. I first set the bagel to "Stay Warm" at 150 degrees. Because the knob is evenly shaped at both ends I was set at 450 degrees. Almost a fire. My second attempt was toast at medium and the entire glass clouded over and the inside white metal is now brown. It looks like I've had it for years. Back it goes! Took it back to Target and they graciously refunded my money. Ironically, sitting on the floor behind the counter was another one.

I purchased this model because it was the only heater I could find that lets you set a temperature. Most other electrical heaters are simply "low, medium, or high" heat. I wanted something I could set at 55 degrees for my garage and just know that it was working without having to switch it on and off. It's just like the thermostat on your wallset it and forget it.

The first unit I purchased did not work. There is a big sticker on it that says, "if unit does not work, DO NOT take it back to the store, call 1-800-xxx-xxxx" so I called the number. What a waste of time. They asked me when I bought it (an hour ago) and then told me to take it back to the store. That sticker needs to go.

The local store that sold me the unit is really good about exchanges and I tried out the replacement unit in the store before taking it home.

The unit radiates heat nicely. It is good for heating large spaces slowly and consistently. I read that "oil filled" units like this one are really just a gimmick. They aren't more energy efficient than non oil filled varieties but the oil does continue to radiate some heat after the unit has turned off, providing a more consistent heat during "on/off" cycles but does not provide energy savings.

When the unit is first used it does produce some smoke and odorthis is not uncommon for these types of heaters because the manufacturers put a protective lubricant coating on the heating surfaces to protect it during shipping. The fumes from burning this off is potentially toxic to birds. If you own birds you should run it outside or away from birds for the first few hours. This is good advice for any type of brand new device that gets hot.

Unfortunately, if the unit loses power (gets unplugged or the power goes out) it defaults to being OFFmeaning it will not turn on again until it is re-programmed. For this reason the unit cannot be used to heat an unattended location. Many people buy heaters and set them at 40 degrees to keep the pipes in unoccupied areas from freezing. This unit cannot be used in such a location as it can't be "trusted" to remain on.

If I could have found a different heater with 1) a temperature thermostat that 2) doesn't forget it's supposed to work after a power interruption, I would have. I would not buy another one of these units.

Pros: Programmable thermostat

Cons: Questionable reliability, defaults to "off" if power interrupted.

Bought this heater two winters ago to heat a room in our house that isn't used often and doesn't have its own heat. This unit has kept the room at a regular 65 degrees two winters in a row. I appreciate being able to set the temperature and walk away. There's no 'high' 'medium' 'low' and guessing what temp is going to come out, I want 60 or 65 degrees, that's what I get. When guests stay in that room, they can have 71 degrees if they so desire and have been shocked at how quickly it heated up. I also LOVE the digital display.

I'm writing this review because I'm about to purchase my second unit for one of our basement rooms that could use a little extra heat. We live in the Pacific Northwest which doesn't get super cold, but the dampness will ruin your house and furnishings if it isn't kept in check!

Don't forget to read the users manual so you know how to properly set the temp, as that's the only thing which isn't clearly evident. If you're reading this, I guarantee you can read how to set the temp in a jiffy!

Based on what I read, I thought this heater had a programmable timer that would allow me to set it to come on every morning at a given time and then shut offin a couple hours. The timer function is an extremely primitive couontdown timer that only allows you to set 1-10 hours before it turns on or 1-10 hours before it shuts off. You cannot have both active and you cannot set a clock timer for on or off. It works well enough, the description was just not complete and was a tad misleading.
