Discount Optimus H-3013 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I have purchased two of these heaters and encountered the same problem with both of them.

Granted, they are a low priced heater. I paid $19.95 (on sale) for each of mine.

Both functioned for a few months, being used only occasionally for limited amounts of time to heat my basement workshop.

The amount of heat produced; even at the maximum setting was very disappointing; for both units.

Worse yet; both unit developed the same problem.

They would temporarily shut down and then resume operating a few minutes later. Both the fan and heating unit would shut off, and then resume operating temporarily.

It was like a thermal overload was producing a temporary shutdown.

the end result was that very little "heat" was produced.

The old adage about "getting what you paid for" certainly applies to this heater!

Politely stated; it is a piece of junk!

Honest reviews on Optimus H-3013 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat

Dont buy this as a heater. Maybe buy this as a fan.

This unit has a few settings: Fan, 500w, 1000w, 1500w.

You have to set it to 1500w to get any sort of heat, and that is just too high of a power draw for too little heat. And the thing sounds like a lawnmowers. The fan is hardly balanced.

Only buy this heater for its cold-war era nostalgia. For heat, you're better off with a tiny ceramic heater box.

Baby Gaggia Twin

I am on my third Baby Gaggia Twin since February and the third one does seem to be the charm. The first machine had an impotent steamer and was sent back, the second, the steam wand came off entirely. I did notice that happened to another reviewer but went with this machine as it was in my price range and I felt lucky.

The first one was purchased through Essential Espresso (avoid at all costs) who when I called to address the problem were very "We don't want to hear it, talk to the manufacturer" even though their site boasts a 30 day no hassle return. I wish I read the reviews on them before purchase. I won't go into every detail but dealing with them was so unpleasant and they took so long to do anything that I decided that I would get my replacement from BBandBeyond, where I learned they would price-match even with a 300 dollar difference and free shipping!!

So, BBandBeyond gave me a truly hassle free exchange for the second machine and it's faulty steam wand and now I am reasonably happy with the machine. The customer service there is among the best I have experienced.

The steamer takes a little getting used to. You need to purge it of water till the lights flash, turn it off and then back on again, keeping the wand out of your milk until it is up to "full steam" then turn it off again and put it in your milk pitcher. It sounds more painful than it is and all happens in about a minute and change.

Pros: Looks great, seems sturdy, is easy to use and clean, heats up quickly, makes very good espresso

The steamer takes a little getting used to.

It sounds more painful than it is and all happens in about a minute and change.

Cons: There is a smell from the steam wand, it gets less over time and I am told that running descaler through it will eliminate it. (Why couldn't they do that?) The group head is configured in such a way that you cannot really fill the portafilter full of coffee and have to leave a bit of room at the top. This is a slight bummer for me as I like my morning coffee a nice long pull and with our former machine could get enough coffee for 2 such pulls at one time for both me and the hubby. True, it is no Greek tragedy to pull 2 shots but just not as convenient. If you are pulling for one, there is no problem.

However, Gaggia itself and its U.S. representative,are lacking in customer service in my opinion.

After receiving my third machine, I sent an email asking about a pressurized portafilter for the machine. I also added that it would be nice of them to offer some discount on same taking into to consideration the inconvenience I had been through having 2 defective machines.

Both Importika in the U.S. and Gaggia in Italy totally ignored this. I would not buy from them again for that reason. To me, it would be a no brainer to comp a relatively inexpensive item to compensate for the inconvenience and leave the customer feeling that you value their business and regret the inconvenience. They obviously don't.

It does take away some of the enjoyment of owning it

UPDATE

I no longer own this machine, it started leaking around the grouphead and after replacing the gasket and the filter basket to no avail, I returned it and went with another model. Various forums have given consistently good reviews to the Classic which is not a "snazzy" looking or programmable to your preferred size of shot. So far I am happy with it. You can tell right away that the steamer is better the crema is a litle thicker (probably because whatever was causing the leaking was not providing the proper pressure for "expression" of flavor. We decided to get a grinder also as this machine likes a finer grind than I can get in some places. After a few weeks, I will write a separate review for it but after 3 Baby Twins in 5 months, I can not recommend them from anything but a decorative standpoint.

This is a great espresso machine for home use if you are an espresso lover. However, avoid this machine if you want to make latte or cappuccino. I have had this machine for more than a month now and I have been using it relatively frequently. The foamer works great but the foam always comes out smelly. (like plastic or rubber smell). This problem was also addressed in another review on Amazon.

Overall, Gaggia Baby twin is a very aesthetically pleasing and durable espresso maker. It's very well made and it will last you a life time. However I would avoid this machine just for the fact that you can't make good latte or cappuccino with it.

Update: 1/27/2012

I owned this machine for more than 3 years now and it has been very disappointing. The milk frother broker after 6 months of use. I took the machine to a designated repair center and the center held it for almost a year because they were waiting for Gaggia to ship the necessary parts from Italy. (Worst product experience EVER) I finally requested the repair center to return my machine (still broken) so I can at least use it for just espresso. Now the electric touch pad is broken and the dumb thing is just sitting on my counter-top as a reminder of how crappy Gaggia products are.

Gaggia: Please refund my money!

i love the espresso this machine puts out but the entire machine is somewhat tainted for me given that the steamer has always smelled and made milk and water taste very very strongly of some kind of oil. at least there are separate espresso and steamer boilers. seriously, think motor oil or bicycle chain oil. ick, it is hard to get the taste and smell of my first few attempts at foaming out of my mouth and nose. i called the company and they suggested a descaling agent which did help, but still for the price for goodness sake it would be nice to have that taken care of at the factory.

Honest reviews on Gaggia 12500 Baby Twin Espresso Machine with Dual Heating System

I needed upgrade for my cheap Gaggia Pure and I needed to pick from this model and Gaggia Baby Class D. Sorry to say I bought Twin. 99% of coffees in our house is a cappuccino and I thought additional dedicated thermo-unit would make our living easier and save us some "waiting for a steam" time. I was stupid...

The point is that though there is second "boiler" indeed it is too weak to make proper milk froth for two cappuccinos in 650 ml jug (one portion of milk in 350 ml jug is okay). It's power isn't enough to whirl the milk which is absolutely needed to "stretch" the milk. Of course, you can use so called "turbo-frother",the default panarello tip but you will get only that poor bubbly parody instead of pro-like froth.

With any other Gaggia, Baby Class e.g., you could do it with it's single boiler but having your top line Baby Twin you would not.

Cons: pathetic, impotent steamer

The Gaggia is a competent, well-made machine. It makes an excellent espresso. The dual heater system works very well. There's no hint of foreign taste/smell from the frothing wand in our unit -something other reviewers have reported.

Things I like:

-It makes an excellent espresso.

-The dose system works well, though it occasionally dispenses an extra 10-20% volume. It's nice not to have to vigilantly watch after you start a pull.

-The dual heaters works very well. If you use the frothing wand regularly, you'll appreciate the machine's ability to consistently deliver two temperatures simultaneously (alternately, actually).

-The frothing wand works very well with regular, skim, even soy milk. The swivel functionality is excellent.

-The boiler heats water faster than I can pull espresso shots.

-The drip tray is easy to service.

-The unit looks great.

Things I don't like so much:

-Price. For the money, I think the Gaggia Baby Classic delivers more bang for the buck than the Baby Twin. The dual heater and dose system are nice, but don't justify a 50% price increase. On the other hand, if you regularly make cappuccinos for twelve people at a time, the Baby Twin is worth every penny.

-The water tank isn't big enough, and maddeningly, Gaggia drills the overflow hole nearly an inch lower than it needs to be.

-When first turned on, the 'water heater' indicator on the front panel indicates it's ready to go after only a couple of minutes. It's not. The water's hot, but the brew-head isn't and you'll end up with a luke-warm espresso. You need to wait the 6-10 minutes that Gaggia suggests. They ought to change the indicator to reflect both the water and head temperatures.

-Gaggia should knurl the compression ring on the frothing wand (it's smooth). The wand does tend to come loose if you don't tighten the ring thoroughly. I can develop the finger pressure to do it; my wife cannot. A rubber pad helps. Knurling would be better. Gaggia ought to fix it.

-The Baby Twin uses capacitive switches for the four selector buttons, and they're too sensitive, in my opinion. They tend to trigger when my finger is still an 1/4" away, which leads to occasionally "pushing" the wrong button (not that big a deal -a second push cancels the operation).

-The frothing wand leaks a few drops of water now and then.

My wife and I are not espresso purists, but we enjoy a good espresso. We used a Capresso Ultima (also from Amazon) for nearly a decade. It had its own foibles (difficult to clean well), but frankly, it's crema was superior to what we can achieve with the Gaggia. The Gaggia leaves me with the impression that it can make a really, really great espresso if I'm willing to invest the time and effort in perfecting my barista skills. Like Ferrari, Gaggia seems to be all about performance, and there's nothing wrong with that. We just want a good espresso without too much fuss.

This product is basically 100% pressed wood with a paper simulated wood grain finish over it. Be ready to screww your azz off, because nowhere in the ad on amazon did it say anything about assembly required. This is "furniture in a box" many parts and many, many screws and fastener blocks. I was expecting this item to arrive ready to plug into the wall, NOPE!. 3 boxes and alot of parts. If not for my son who is a carpenter by trade offering to assemble this product for me, it would have been right back on the truck returning to the seller. if you decide to order this product or anything similar, I would recommend having a power screw driver available to make it easier and speed up assembly time.

First, we have had waterbeds since the'70's.

This is a well-made, rugged product with reinforced box corners, which I expect will be more cat-proof than its deceased predecessor. It fits the frame perfectly, with no wrinkles or odd bulging corners, and like most is delightfully comfortable.

There is one issue that prevents a Five Star rating, and it probably is not the fault of the manufacturer or vendor.

Plasticizer odor. We all know that any waterbed mattress (Or inflatable pool item, toy, or anything made with flexible vinyl products) has a distinct and not unpleasant odor. Even after a year, one can detect it in bedrooms with a water bed.

I am sorry, but the odor from this is very strong and persistant. The windows have been open for three days now, the bedding has been rewashed, and the odor is still cloyingly strong.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT ten days later to be fair: OK, everything has quieted down with the plasticizer odor. Added a star.

As a courtesy to people with sensitive noses, the rest stands:

End Edit

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I am NOT a chemophobe. I MADE PCV calendered and plastisol products for a Fortune 500 at one time. I recognize this smell.

People with chemical (Phthalate) sensitivities should avoid this product.

Here is why:

"Phthalates can be divided into two groups: high and low molecular weight, with high molecular weight phthalates now representing over 80 percent of European market for plasticisers. Low molecular weight phthalates include those with 3-6 carbon atoms in their chemical backbone; the most common types being Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Di-butyl phthalate (DBP), Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP). Because of possible health effects of low phthalates in the environment, including Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, there is movement to replace them with safer alternatives in Canada, the European Union, and the United States."

This mattress is really nice, it feels thicker than my previous ones and the fill cap being in the middle is a really nice touch. However it has an extremely strong plastic smell, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I did expect the smell but I did not expect it to fill the entire house for over a month, even with opening the windows for a few hours every night.

Also, not that it is a con, the mattress is actually red not blue like in the picture.

Purchased this at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Humidifier put out a decent amount of mist and was very quiet; much to my liking. I turn on the osculating function and the machine began to rotate back and forth, but began to make horrible grinding noises when it reach the ends of it motion as if it was trying to over rotate. I thought nothing of it and took it back to Bed, Bath & Beyond to exchange it for the same model. After unboxing the new machine, I plugged the humidifier into the wall and the wall socket and machine began to spark! I tried a different outlet and got the same experience.

I will be taking this humidifier back to the store and looking for something different; if two different models of the same humidifier can't work correctly for 5 minutes you should run!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We live in a typical midwestern home, so it's nice and dry all winter as the heater runs. Even with a whole house humidifier, we like to keep one going in our son's room (he's almost 2). We've been using a Crane Drop Humidifier, which we love for its ease of use, but we thought we'd try this model to compare. I like the Crane better, but this does have some good features. I'll compare the two.

Pros:

This one holds a lot more water. It'll last a couple days, where the Crane needs filled every day.

The nightlight it's just bright enough to light up his room softly, and give us a view to walk in and check on him if we need to. The other has no light.

The oscillating feature helps make sure the room is getting it from multiple angles, but I'm not sure if that actually helps spread the humidity any better.

Cons:

It's certainly louder than the Crane. Between the standard churning of mist, and adding the oscillating function it's roughly 2x as loud. That's not a big deal as he sleeps with really loud white noise, but to an adult I think it would be annoying.

The handle on the top of the reservoir is extremely flimsy feeling. I wouldn't be surprised if it broke on me one day.

Overall, it's a good model, but for $15 more than the Crane, I can easily buy a nice nightlight. I'd go for the Crane drop instead plus the Crane has 2000+ reviews and few comments about leaking water like this model.

This cool mist humidifier is great when it works. The first thing I found nice about it was the cool mist as opposed to the normal wet and heated humidifiers. One gallon lasts 2 days at a low to medium setting. A nice blue light can be turned on during the night. There is a convenient handle to carry the water tank part so you can fill it. This cool mist is much different from the warm, too humid common humidifiers that have to be filled at least once a day if not more. It serves about three rooms with the 120º oscillating top the way my home is set up and where I placed it. I really liked the way it oscillates this made it comfortable throughout the three rooms it was humidifying. The light never came back on again after one of the times it was refilled with water. Then It began to make a slight strange clicking sound when it oscillated all the way to the right. I'm not sure what "ultrasonic" is supposed to mean here, but if it has anything to do with it being very quiet this was true until the light went out. I was wondering if it was worth taking back for exchange. I filled out the one year warranty/ registered it with Homedics. But the stores were pretty busy with Christmas shoppers and we figured we could live without the light.

BUT, I woke up to find the table and floor soaking wet, even though water was still in the tank and it was working as normal. About a half a gallon of water was all over. We could not find where they water was leaking from or what may have caused it. So, I turned it off and emptied the bottom and upper blue container. That's when we noticed it seemed to be coming from the seam (if indeed that is a seam, as it goes from bottom to top in a straight line. I thought we had a defect however I've now read reviews on this particular cool mist humidifier by more people who have had the same problems or other problems. It IS a great humidifier, but I'm very disappointed that it broke in this manner and I am going to see if anything can be done. Unfortunately this was not purchased at Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon. It was on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond for $49.99; they did have to go to the stock room to get it because there was only one left on the showroom floor. I'm wondering if they gave us the floor model. It's great however I'm afraid to purchase another for fear this happens again, especially after reading reviews here.

Carrier / Bryant Draft Inducer Motor 318984753, 318984-753 Review

Customer Ratings:

I was skeptical because this motor was significantly cheaper than I found it anywhere else. It showed up and was the genuine part. Shipping was very fast.

Here's the advice part. The blower wheel can be EXTREMELY difficult to get off the motor without destroying it. I turned a couple of allen wrenches into pretzels. I even soaked the allen set screw in break-free penetrating oil and when that didn't work heated it up until it was cherry red with a with a torch.

I talked to a friend and he said on a 10+ year old furnace you'll never get it off without damaging it. Even if you could it just takes way too long and is way too much effort. At very least also buy the blower wheel. Then just cut the old motor shaft with a hack saw just behind the blower wheel. This will save you a ton of time, effort and aggravation. Trust me, the $13 blower wheel is well worth the price.

My gaskets literally disintegrated when I pulled the motor. So I'd also recommend getting a gasket kit as well. I don't see those here on Amazon so you might have to go directly to a HVAC site like Shorty's to get those.

Luckily I did mine in the summer so it's not a big deal for me to wait a few days for the blower wheel and gaskets to show up.

If you follow my tips of having all the parts on hand and cutting the blower wheel off this is a very simply repair that anyone can do. It will probably save you at least $500 over having a HVAC service do it.

Buy ELECTRIC WALL MOUNT FIREPLACE W/REMOTE 650/1350 WATT--DIGITAL

Customer Ratings:

The item as described does not translate to the actual use and application for heating an area or space in proximity to the unit. With the inspection of the actual unit, it was quickly determined that the items contains very serious design flaws, thus rendering the heater defective. The unit is aesthetically very nice. However, the heater contains only 1 vent, located at the top of the unit. There are no vents on the side or bottom, which prevents actual heating of the area surrounding the wall space. Upon installation, the heat eminates to the ceiling (burning the area above the vent), and not outward. This is the primary defect! The heat does not project outward to the space near the unit, rather the ceiling above. This unit is ineffective for heating a space, and only serves as picturesque for a wall space. Additionally, this seller (Shadow Ridge Trading Company), should be removed from Amazon's list of approved vendors. The representative of this company is very rude, unprofessional, and very inappropriate. Moreover, the representative for this company, challenged my assertion that the unit is defective, and threatened to withhold my refund. This was insulting! I have never experienced this level of challenge with all my purchases through Amazon, regardless if Amazon was the "direct" seller or not. The unit as advertised does not correspond in any way to the actual use of the heater. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this feedback.

I bought this about three years ago. Called with a question and got the answer from the first person who picked up. They still sell accessories and parts. Still answer questions etc.

The product itself is also very nice, reliable and well thought out. We have it installed with a timer so it is not going all day and all night. It is very reliable. Also, it is unique in that it can be mounted in either direction horizontally or vertically. Amba says you can mount it at any angle, though I do not know why you would want to do that.

I would have given it 5 starts only, it does have gaps and cannot heat the whole towel evenly like the glass ones can.

I researched extensively portable AC/heaters prior to buying this one. It has GREAT features & controls. The AC performs fantastically without worrying about water leakage, as you do with most portable AC units (in addition to reading many reviews from other owners, I know from experience). Dual hoses are the BEST for outstanding AC performance, not needed at all for heating (so, you just disconnect). I was gravely disappointed in the heater when it got cool enough to need one. When I called customer service, I discovered that the heat is provided by a small "heat strip" rather than a "heat pump" as displayed on the mfr's webpage. As I told customer service, "I can exhale warmer air than this unit puts out." Customer service is "wishy-washy" at best (dealing with Carlos); however, the supervisor/manager offered to exchange for a different model or refund my money. I am currently reviewing my options.

Two stars represent the poor heater performance when ads displayed 12K BTUs for both AC/heat not true. The stars also include the poor handling of my product claim by Carlos.

If you're looking for a great AC unit, I would highly recommend this unit. But don't count on the heater to perform at all. Other Midea models that have better heaters only use one exhaust hose. All one-hose models, regardless of brand, are not efficient & cause a "vacuum effect" rather than circulating air; thus, I would NOT recommend. Don't take my word for it, research the comparisons of 2-hose vs 1-hose models for yourself.
