Review of 11,000 BTU 3x1 Machine Self Evaporative Portable A/C

Customer Ratings:

I bought this unit 4 days ago to use in my 10x10 office / computer room. So far it has worked out great. I live in Missouri so on days I work from home it would easily get 85 deg and uncomfortable in the room. With this unit I am able to cool it to about 73 75 deg in about 30 or so min. I know it's a little overkill for my room since it can do up to a 450sq ft room but since my room has many computers the temp can rise very quickly. I couldn't find ANY reviews on this AC unit anywhere online so I took a chance since it was cheaper than other portable units of its kind and much cheaper than window units to fit a casement window which is what I have in that room. I got an additional 2 year in store warranty for 36$ so the risk seems minimal. I could take it back to my local Rural King store if needed. Since the unit cranks out the air at a good rate it also is fairly noisy. So you couldn't sit next to it on the phone. I also measured the air temp at the output and it got down to 55 deg. enough to freeze you if it's blowing on you for an extended time period. The quality of the build felt a little cheap with thin plastic for the outer shell. Where the power cable wraps around the keeper fingers in the back you can see the plastic flex as you unwind or wind the thick power cord on it. So far it hasn't broke or cracked. The window kit was ok to install. The instructions were on a photocopied manual inside the package so that seems a little cheap as well. However it was good enough to walk me through installing the window kit. I used a hack saw to cut the window kit to the right size and it worked well. Clean cut no sharp edges. I also used some foam weather strip to wrap around the window kit to better seal it once installed in the window. The remote control it comes with works good. It has all the same functions on the remote as the control panel of the unit. Over all I am pretty satisfied with the unit and would purchase it again and recommend it to others. We will have to see how it stand up to the test of time.

Update 6/20/2013 Been using the unit for a couple weeks now and still very pleased.

Sienhua Group Palmaire Cooling Mist Fan Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $259.99
Sale Price: $166.25
Today's Bonus: 36% Off

I purchased one of these recently on Woot for $130. Terrible purchase.

1) Way overpriced. As a fan, it's worth about $30.

2) The mister does not really work it does not create a "mist" like you'd expect it's barely more than a glorified humidifier, worth about $20.

3) The total value then is about $50.

ALSO: the design leaves much to be desired unstable and easy to tip over, casters do not stay in place and fall out, and the biggest joke is the DISPLAY which is this utterly annoying flashing LED display as if it were the speedometer of a car 0 really annoying and there's no way to turn the display off.

Also, the units power switch only affect the fan, but no the mister to turn the mister off you have to shut it off separately. And the front panel controls are poorly laid out and it is very difficult to read what each one it. The layout make no sense whatsoever.

In short, very little though has gone into this product. It is definitely NOT worth the $150 being charged here on Amazon.

works great in the desert, humidity under 6

Works great in Desert, under 6% humidity. Not a wet mist, just a cooling mist, but don't think would be good in higher humidity, over 15%. Been 110dg 3% humidity, really helps.

Buy Lasko 760000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater

Customer Ratings:

I bought this heater to try to warm up an addition on our home. We've lived here 12 years, and every winter, we've frozen in the den. It's built on a crawl space, and new insulation, windows, and roof haven't helped. Needless to say, I've tried several heaters. Just got the Lasko this week, and it's the first one we've tried that heats the entire room. We're actually at 69 to 70 degrees. Also, it's quiet and the back of the unit stays very cool, so it can be placed right up against a wall. I am loving this heater!

I just bought this last night at a local home-improvement store (for less than a new one here). I got an extended warranty on it. I plugged it in, turned it on, it started pumping out heat right away! In less than 10 minutes, it heated up my 11x10 living room from 63 degrees to 73 degrees. I am very impressed with this guy, the unit does not feel hot to the touch, it does what it says, and I really like the remote it comes with. FOUR STARS!

Best Deals on Lasko 760000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater

Strengths:

Powerful heater, it warms up a room fairly quickly. The heated air can be directed horizontally or vertically with the vent control. This heater would be a good choice in cold climates.

Thermostat seems pretty good at keeping the room at a constant temperture.

Has auto (thermostat controlled), low, high heating modes. Only the low heating mode is quiet.

Cool to touch, can be placed against wall.

Remote control works well.

Weaknesses:

Unit is not as quiet as would be hoped. This may be an issue if you are watching TV or going to sleep with the heater on. In the low heat mode, the fan is fairly quiet, but then the heater will remain constantly on (the automatic mode that controls the heater using the thermostat uses both high and low heat modes). The remote control can help alleviate this problem.

Unit is LARGER than most alternatives (be sure to note dimensions). Not as easy to store in summer months.

Remote control "beep" from the unit is pretty loud.

Bought this one with remote and two of the same with no remote. This one heats a 300 sq ft kitchen and the other two heat a 550 sq ft living room. All rooms have 10 ft ceilings. We decided not to replace our central heat and use space heaters since it rarely gets below freezing here in SE TExas. These work great. We put in front of the large windowsthey can be put right up against a wall. Set the thermostat at about 68 and quickly takes the chill out of the air. I am very happy with these. I am going to buy one for every room in our house. Very cost effective heaters with the digital thermostat and auto feature. Buy.com has them for 79.99 with free shipping.

Review of Dimplex BLF50 50-Inch Synergy Linear Wall Mount Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

We absolutely love this fireplace. It is very modern, yet traditional. We have a smaller family room and did not want to be blasted out of the room by a gas fireplace.

This is just perfect. It throws just enough heat to warm things up. I love that I can run it flame only, also. It was very easy to flush mount in our existing wall. We did hire a friend to help with the installation, especially the electrical wiring.

We saw this fireplace at a neighbor's house while looking for an electric fireplace for our home. We liked the look and the fact the blower for the heater directed the heat horizontally versus vertically. For an electric fireplace the flames are about as realistic as you can get; not quite as natural as a gas flame but close enough. We like it and it adds a nice touch to our family room.

I saw this fireplace in a house for sale featured on the New York Times and had to have it, and now I do.

I bought it with a best offer on eBay for $900 shipped. My boyfriend thought that was *rhymes with started.*

It is gorgeous. It doesn't stick out of the wall too far (while an in-wall mounting would be preferable I settled for on the wall). I love looking at it.

As for functionality, I appreciate that in the summer, I will be able to run this fireplace for show, but without heat. As for the heater part... My apartment building is old, and poorly maintained, and therefore not energy efficient, which is why I needed some sort of space heater, and opted for this one. That said, I'm grateful it hasn't been too cold in Boston yet... When it does get colder (like tomorrow), I'm worried that this thing just isn't going to cut it. My room is 12'x18' with a 13' ceiling. The loft bed in my room does benefit from the heat being 8' up, but the lower level doesn't quite benefit enough. I see no reason to run it on low heat always high.

I don't understand why you either have to switch to remote or manual, but can't do both... But I really like having a remote.

Conclusion: good for show, less so for heat (very glad I didn't pay full price which, while searching for this one at a more affordable price, seems to average $1,400 new).

This product is fantastic. It's everything it says and more. The flames are so real! It will also take the chill off of our big family room. It runs quietly too.

I hired a professional contractor to install it. It only took about an hour.

The electric fireplace was here before the scheduled date.

I love my Dimplex!

I wasn't sure on these fireplaces and it was a lot of money for an electric FP. I have to say we are more then happy with our purchase. They are beautiful and better then expected. Everyone comments on them and how cool they are. We were going to do propane but for a fraction of the price found these and thought we would try them. It was so easy to install and we love the look so much we ordered two. We bought one for our living room and one for our bedroom. We are so happy with this choice.

Samsung WF330ANW 3.7 cu. ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer Reviews

Customer Ratings:

When my 5 year old Maytag top loader washer crapped out, I decided to replace my 18 year old dryer as well. I Purchased the matching set of Samsung 330 washer and dryer. If I knew then what I know now, I would have purchased these front loaders a few years ago.

I did a lot of research and found most of these front load washers use much less water, less electricity, and do a better job at cleaning clothes than most top loaders. My laundry is on the 2nd floor of my house so I was concerned about noise and vibration. And of course like everyone else I was looking for the best value for my dollar. Some reviews complain of vibration. Maybe they were not leveled correctly. Mine was delivered and installed professionally. The machine is super quiet and vibration free even to the touch. The only noise or vibration comes from the super fast spin cycle, and even that is much less than my previous top loader.

Here's what I have found so far:

Pros:

Cleans better than top loaders

Will handle much larger loads

Uses less detergent

Uses much less water

Uses less electricity

You can barely hear it run

Very little to no vibration, even to the touch.

The fast spin cycles removes more water from the clothes thereby making the dryers job that much easier.

Cons:

The cycles are about 20% longer than my previous top loader.

Be careful. Go to Google and search "Samsung washer won't spin". This washer has a problem spinning. My washer is installed in our basement on a concrete floor. It is level (has been checked by a technician as well as us). The load cannot balance and it won't spin. Once it tries to spin and can't, it throws the load back into a rinse cyle. This is why the load of wash on "Normal" takes almost 2 hours instead of 58 minutes!! Samsung finally admitted to us through the repair tech that the oil surrounding the drum gets thick at any temperature under 60 degrees. That leads to problems with spinning/balancing the load. If you are putting this washer in your basement or garage or any place it may drop below 60 degrees...think twice. We may try to return this to the store where purchased but I am afraid I will have to fight for it. A very expensive mistake.

I never really liked how this machine did wash. It was unpredictable in how long the cycle was, whether it would get the HE detergent completely out of your clothes, etc.

But this is what did it for me. An undocumented error code, that requires a service call, appeared on our machine 1 year and 10 days after we bought it (but less than 1 year after we received it since it was back ordered) and Samsung wants to charge me for a service call.

And the manager on the help desk can't do anything about it.

This is only what I can describe as horrible customer service.

Honest reviews on Samsung WF330ANW 3.7 cu. ft. High Efficiency Front-Load Washer

This machine doesn't have the annoying buzzer that our last machine did. It chimes. At first the dial with all the buttons was intimidating and I thought I would have to read the manual from cover to cover just to run it. However, I soon found out after turning it on how really user friendly it was. It even alarmed letting me know that it's hot water hose was crimped. Sure enough the hose was crimped and after getting it straightened out it was good to go again. It is really easy to pause the cycle too. This machine uses very little water and is very quiet so if your like me you may think something is wrong with it and sit with a flashlight looking in watching in amazement. You can really cram a lot in it and it all come out clean, and unlike top loaders it uses less soap and won't mess your bras up around a central spindle.

I bought this heater because they keep the temperature so low at my work. Some days I can't even type because my fingers are so cold! I plug this little heater in every morning, and it keeps my cubicle nice and warm all day. I love that it has not only "Hi" and "Lo" settings, but also different temperature settings. The oscillating is another plus.

Note though, I don't plug this into my cubicle's outlet that would more than likely cause a fire or power overload. I plug it into a wall outlet that is next to my cubicle.

My unit is quiet and it does throw a lot of heat. The oscillating feature works well and appears to be robust.

The controls are incredibly simple and easy to use, with 1 button cycling through all combinations of power levels and temperature settings and 1 switch for oscillation.

However:

1. The thermostat and control unit at the top is poorly ventillated and is heated by the elements.

2. The control unit generates a lot of heat. This warms the temperature sensor as much as 10-20 degrees F above room temperature, so the heater will only warm the room to 60 to 70 degrees F at the highest setting of 80 F.

Of course this is a good thing if you want to save energy.

Honest reviews on Holmes HCH4830-U Oscillating Twin Ceramic Heater

The heater has been working great so far, no problems, that I have seen, looks good. The biggest somplaint I would have is that even though it is digital as advertised the steps are too big between the settings. 5 degrees is kind of steep between 70 and 75. 75 can be too high and sometimes 70 can be too low. If it is on 75 might as well just have it set to continuous, on 70 it can leave you wishing it would come on because the room is cold. At least one more step at 72 would have been useful. Other than that, the output is great even when set on low, have not really even needed the high setting so far.

This machine is handy for a small room. It definately gets hot. I really like that it has so many setting options for heat temp. I also like the way it oscillates I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because what I don't like is that the vent grille kept coming off the back. It is definately not a quiet machine. It is a little too loud if you don't want anyway to know you have it under your desk and gives off a vibrating noise when put on high.

I bought this to replace an original bathroom wall heater that was over 50 years old. That one had coils and the surface would get real hot. If you left a towel in front of it for awhile, I think it would ignite. The new version has a fan and is much safer. The surface doesn't get very hot and the fan is quiet. I just purchased another one to replace the heater in my other bathroom.

My old wall heater from the 1970's finally burned out. Because that model wasn't available anymore i want with something that looked similar, the Cadet heater. It was very easy to install and took only about an hour from box to turning it on. And it works perfect, heating up the room quickly. It doesn't get as hot as my old heater but i can understand why. The old heater seemed too much of a fire hazard. This new heater covers the heating units and blows the hot air out. Works great.

Despite being made in the USA (its not, its made in Canada) this is a mediocre item. I replaced the last one (A Cadet) which only lasted about six years. The original (no longer made) lasted thirty years.

The heat produced is minimal for a bathroom. This is not a particularly good heater... The only real advantage is that it fits into (with some pushing, etc.) the orginal wall "can." If you are like me and not particularly handy this is the only way to go. If you are handy enough to put in a new heater, ceiling or wall etc.. loose this one. Its just not that good a heater nor is the quality there.

The "protective coating" is some tape all over the chrome parts and had to be picked away sliver, by sliver a pain in the neck to say the least.

If you do buy one avoid buying from Gradysonline.com I made that mistake. It took eleven days to get the heater. I have amazon direct which offered free two day shipping but the web site said that Amazon was out of the product. The only communication from Grady's was a UPS tracking EMAIL two days ago. The tracking information indicated it left the seller's facility yesterday near my home!!! Eleven days is ridiculous without some communication. Wish I had just gone to the local ACE hardware to buy this thing its been a cold week.

Three stars, only because it is the "only game in town" for a direct replacement. Otherwise, there are much better heaters and stay away from Grady's. I am really surprised that Amazon (typically excellent customer service) allows this company to sell on the Amazon web site. Well, three stars is actually quite generous considering the overall product and sales...

This is the sweetest little stove that you could ever want! It is all that it says and the "show" is great! It really is very impressive.

The quality of the workmanship is good. It heats up a room 10x15 in about 15 minutes, at which point you can turn the heat down to almost

nothing or turn it off and just leave the "flames burning". I do like the fact that it does heat quickly, it saves a lot of money in the

long run because you can turn it down or off. The odor that many spoke of when you first turn it on is minimal and burns off quickly, by the second use, there was none at all.There is a big notice on the box that there will be a slight smell when first turned on, so the manufacturer is up front about it. I can really recommend this product for the ambiance that it gives to a room and for its quick heat up of a room. I actually used this for a Christmas party, the room was chilly, I heated the room and by the time my guests did arrive, everyone commented about the adorable little stove! Since I live in an NYC apartment and have no access to a fireplace,this really does

make the place warm and friendly. A great buy at a really great price. I have seen other such products at much more and not halfway as nice.

It's very pretty and works as advertised. While you can run the flame without the heater, there isn't an option to run the heater without the flame. I tried turning the dial all the way down on the flame 'brightness' knob and it pretty much went out, but the thing inside that makes the flicker was still rotating and there was a very faint light. I wonder how long the bulb inside will last? There are instructions on how to take the back off and put in a new one. It says it uses a 40 watt, E12 socket base light bulb (candelabra base, B bulb.) The instructions appear easy enough, take the back off, put in new bulb.

My only complaint is that the legs were hard for me to put on. I couldn't do it by hand with a screwdriver, it was like the holes were slightly too small for the screws. I had to get out the electric drill, put on a phillips head attachment, and really PUSH to get the screws in. Using that methon, two legs on one side went right on, but the two on the other side wouldn't accept the 3rd screw (same location on both legs) and I think it's that the hole isn't in exactly the right place. The legs are on and good enough to hold the unit, but I will have my husband do something about getting those two legs attached better. I called the customer service line and after waiting on hold for about 8 minutes I hung up. It is Christmas season, so maybe they are really busy. Or maybe they only have one person answering the phone. The legs are on and stable enough. Someone would have to really kick the two legs that are missing the 3rd screw to get them to move.

The unit is metal and the legs are heavy guage plastic that perfectly matches the look of the metal. They don't look like plastic.

The unit itself doesn't heat up, the casing of the blower doesn't even feel hot, but the metal on the underside of the unit directly above where the hot air blows out gets hot. Nothing else on the unit is hot. The legs are very cool to the touch. (But if I had a baby crawling around, I wouldn't want him to touch the bottom metal right above the heat output. Or, if he did, he wouldn't touch it for long.)

The door has an inside magnet that you don't see that keeps it shut. There's not a clip or anything holding the door shut. But it stays shut.

I am wondering what all that forced hot air will do to the antique cypress wood floors in our bedroom. Could it dry them out or harm them in any way? I might put the unit on a small rug to protect the wood directly in front of it.

I plan to turn off the main heater at night and see how we do with just this running in our bedroom, which is about 300 sq ft. Our main heater is zoned, so we only run the bedroom at night anyway. I'm wondering if this little unit will use less electricty than our home heater and keep the bedroom warm enough. I hope so. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and might get another for our den if I can see a difference in our electric bill.

We happened by this on Black Friday having been at our son's place the day before where their heater was DOA. It was meant to be. We snapped it up at a deep discount, took it his place and snapped it together in about 5 minutes. The instructions to operate are simple and very intuitive. Heat level easily adustable as is the brightness of the "flame" (we thought that was kinda funny). It heated their living room in no time. As another reviewer noted it did put off a chemical smell on start up but I can't imagine that won't burn off quickly. They seemed to love it. If that changes I'll update.

In my opinion, DeLonghi oil-filled portable radiators are one of the best options for safe, reliable room heating. There is nothing to spill, no open flames, and nothing gets so hot that it would burn you instantly. You don't have to fear falling asleep while they are heating. They're nicely designed and unobtrusive, making no noise other than the occasional tick or pop as the thermostat cycles and they heat up or cool down. I find this a comforting reminder that my heater is doing its job. No assembly is required other than rotating the feet out--just pop it out of the box and it's ready to go! The cord has a holder around which it can coil, eliminating the need to tie it up, and since you just wind the cord around it, you don't have to worry that some automatic retraction device will get stuck. This model can be used with the thermostat or without, and both are very simple to operate. All controls were easy to see, even in dim light, and the instructions were clear. It's very easy to move the heater from room to room, even if it is hot, using the little hand-hold. This heater kept a very large bedroom and bath pleasantly warm even on the low setting, while outside temperatures were 36 to 43 degrees, wet, and windy. The color is a tasteful grayish white with dark gray accents, so don't be turned off thinking this is "refrigerator white." I would definitely buy another DeLonghi like this one!

Comparing my electric bills Nov. '09 and '10, my power bill was $33.00

lower, only $56.00 in my all electric apartment of 978 sq.ft. I am not cold, I sit in front of my PC in shorts & a t-shirt, shoes & socks. You won't be disappointed. The 1st DeLonghi heater is 7 yrs old & still works just fine, its a name that can be trusted. These heaters work better & cheaper than an a/c heat pump or baseboard heaters, I know. I live 6665' above sea level in Nevada and it does get cold & windy. A secret, "buy yourself a 6" desk-fan and set it behind a heater on the floor too warm a room 18' square, works wonders." I have 2 cats and they sleep in front of their own heater now, they have never been burnt. I am 76 yr old male. Try them, you can't go wrong...

Received this in the mail today. So far I'm pretty impressed. At first I was a bit puzzled regarding the instructions and all the switches and dials this thing has but once I figured out how it worked it was easy.

I'm using this to heat up a room that is approximately 10ftx20ft, and this room has a glass sliding door on one wall, and four anderson windows all together on the other two walls (the fourth wall connects to the house). The room does have a very small (about 5ft long) baseboard radiator but it barely heats the room properly.

I have this connected to a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat, and it works great. I have it set at 76F and while the middle of the room (where this radiator is placed, dead center) stays at 76F the one side of the room stays at 74.5F (where the sliding door is, and it's 55F outside right now) and the other side 75.5F which is acceptable. I do have a ceiling fan in the room on low but I may need to add a floor fan in there to help circulate the air better and keep the temperature more even throughout the room.

Oh, and I have it set on medium power and it's doing the job quite well. It was able to heat a room stuck at 67-68F to 76F in just a few hours. Almost ten degrees...pretty good IMO. I was reluctant to set it at max power (the full 1500watts) over concern it may pop a circuit breaker. Setting at medium power (1,000watts I believe?) did the job. I'm using this heater to provide ambient heating for all my fishtanks to save on electricity (if I had heaters in every fish tank, I'd end up using 2-4x more energy than I would just simply heating the room itself). The advantage to what I am using this heater for is that the fish tanks absorb a lot of the heat pretty easily and keep the room warm when the heater is not on. Even if the heater were to stay off, I'm sure the room temperature would stay pretty steady for a little while before it starts to drop.

Here are the cons:

* The instructions suck... But if you just tinker around with this thing for a little bit you'll figure out how to use it.

* Not really a con but just a warning to potential buyers, you definitely want to heed the warning in the instruction booklet to let this thing run at full power either outdoors or in a well ventilated area for 2-3 hours because it does release an odor at first. But hey, all new products release odors...name one product that doesn't. New houses wreak of pine, cars have that new car scent or a leather scent, books smell like ink, etc. But definitely let it "break in" before you put it where you need more heat.

* I'm still not sure what the "ComforTemp" button does? And the instructions suck. Either way I just have the comfortemp feature shut off since I am using an external thermostat to control this heater.

Who would I recommend this to?

People who need extra heat in a room 200 square feet or smaller, are concerned about fire safety, and want a heater that is pretty reliable. This is the only type of heater I would trust to leave on in a house without being home. So far so good...

Honest reviews on DeLonghi MG7307CM Safeheat 1500W ComforTemp Portable Oil Filled

I've purchased two of these heaters in the last 6 months. I returned the first one after about two weeks of use because of the very unpleasant odor it was generating. I followed the recommendation of another reviewer (which is consistent with the directions in the owner's manual) and ran the heater on high for 2+ hours in a well-ventilated area to "burn off" whatever coating is applied during the manufacturing process. This didn't seem to help at all as the odor persisted for the next two weeks. Because I liked the heater in general, I decided I would try another one. I ran the second heater on high for two full days, hoping that this would permanently eliminate any odor. It didn't. Months later, the odor is there any time we turn this thing on.

This might not be a big problem if you are looking to keep your basement or your garage warm, but we were looking to use this in our childrens' room. Unfortunately the odor is just too strong and without really knowing the cause, it's impossible to feel good about having young children breathing in this environment.

Clean -no initial burning gas odors that we got with the DeLonghi EW7707CM. It takes awhile to heat up the room, but after an hour or so, you've got a warm room (this one heats a fairly large, 10' x 30' space). The ComfortTemp system, though, hasn't been of much use to us, as our space can get pretty cold (San Francisco) and seems to need more heat output.

We've had it for nearly 2 months now, and have had no problems. It's also nice that it requires no assembly -the wheels fold under.

Review of Aerus Guardian Air Replacement Filter Brand New

Customer Ratings:

I have the same issue as CB's Oct 11, 2012 review. Whether this is a "new, improved" (cheaper) product from Aerus, a manufacturing defect, or an imitation knock-off, I don't know. But the touted TiO2 treatment is clearly compromised. The "spattering of white stuff" cannot be equivalent to the original, uniform coating. (Yes, the product pictured is the original.) Next time I will pay the extra and get authentic replacement filter from the dealer.

I should've returned the filter! It is not at all what my other filters have been in past. There was a white substance splattered all over the carbon side of filter. I decided to use it anyway, but really should've sent it back. The picture shows the filter as it should be, but mine was solid black, with some sort of white substance splattered on one side.

The filter I ordered on Amazon.com came within just a few days, was the correct filter and fits our air purifier. No complaints.

Honest reviews on Aerus Guardian Air Replacement Filter Brand New

I bought two of these filters from the seller hoping to save a few bucks, I should have known better. I noticed after installing the first one I noticed they did not perform like the one I was using. My allergies began acting up and I noticed an odor from the new filter. Thinking there was possibly something wrong, I tried the second one and noticed the same thing. After contacting my local Aerus Electrolux store they asked me to bring the filters in. I brought both filters in and they quickly confirmed these are Chinese knock off filters, the filter material is not the same HEPA material Aerus uses and therefore doesn't perform like it is supposed to. The Aerus store actually exchanged these two knock off filters for Genuine OEM filters at NO CHARGE! WOW! I could tell a huge difference the first 30 minutes after installing the Aerus genuine OEM Air filter. Don't be fooled by the picture the seller is displaying or the product you receive it looks OEM but it is not. Amazon should not allow sellers to advertise knock off products like this. Very disappointed with the seller. But very pleased with Aerus for the customer service they gave me when they didn't have to.

Quickly warms my 225 square feet in no time on the lowest setting. I have every confidence that this heater would perform well in a larger area on any of the higher settings.

If you're familiar with convection heating, this is a very good value for the money that will be providing my heat for years to come.

For the misinformed, this is not a ceramic style heat (Not immediate). Rather this will warm the space over time with a much more natural warmth that will fill the entire space and not dry out the air. Great for people with sensitive allergies or skin where forced air heating (Ceramic/Electric Heating) dry the air considerably and circulate dust.

Been looking for small heater for our damp basement. This has been running continuously for many months now, and our electric bill doesn't seem to have increased. Very sturdy unit.

I can set it and forget it and not have to worry the kittens will get burned. It rolls around easily to put up during summer.

Honest reviews on Midea International Westpointe NY15AH Oil-Filled Convection

As these kind of units go, there are several of them out there, this is a wellbuilt quality version. Almost all metal, very little pastic, produces a nice amount of heat even on low and medium settings.
