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.

Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan Reviews

Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.

Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.

I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.

While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.

Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan

Works as advertised. My family recently moved into a 2-story colonial, and the airflow coming out of the vents in the master bedroom is a little weak, making it warmer than the rest of the bedrooms on the top floor. I could turn down the thermostat, but that would freeze out the rest of the house. The Suncourt (HC500) and Airflow Breeze boosted registers caught my eye, but I wanted a quick solution (i.e. no order-and-wait) and the local Home Depot had the HC300 in stock.

What can I say, but "it works". Without the HC300, the airflow (floor vents shooting upward) reached a height of 3 ft (based on holding my hand above the vent), and with the booster, it reached a perceptible height of 5 feet. With a single booster over 1 of our 2 vents, the master bedroom was noticeably cooler. In fact it worked so well that I ordered two in-vent boosters (HC500) so that I have one for each duct. The weather has cooled down, so I'm unable to compared those to the HC300, except that they are quieter.

As far as noise goes, the HC300 is not silent, but it is far quieter than a Marpac white noise machine set to the lowest setting (we use that in our baby's room). Actually, for use in a bedroom, I find the low level of white noise kinda soothing. As an added bonus, the fan in the booster doesn't turn off until the air temperature from the ductwork reaches a preset temperature. That means that after the AC (or heat) has turned off, the booster is still scavenging the remaining cool (or warm during the winter) air from the ductwork.

This is a great solution if your airflow to a room is weak, but I can imagine some circumstances (strong airflow, but warm air) where boosting the airflow won't help or you'll have a ceiling effect. Yes, you ideally would want to call in a professional to rebalance the ductwork, but in many instances it would be cost prohibitive (i.e. ripping up flooring to get to the ductwork).

I give it a 4 out of 5, with 1 point deducted for the (albeit low) noise level.

I bought two register boosters several years ago and one of the two recently stopped working; could not be repaired by my engineer husband. No longer carried at local store so I ordered two online. We use them on the second floor of our home to boost heat in the winter and A/C in the summer and they work very well. Hope neither of the new ones ordered via Amazon fail!

Review of Black & Decker BDHF300 Heater Fan

Black & Decker BDHF300 Heater Fan
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The Black and Decker heater is a pretty good heater at a value price. It's got several different settings depending on the size of the room you want to heat and puts out a lot of heat in a limited area. One nice feature is the temperature indicator. It's also got a Frost Watch setting which will automatically turn the heater on if the temperature drops below 40 degrees. It also has very nice safety features. Including a switch under the heater that is pressed when the heater is sitting upright. If it should tip over, the switch is deactivated and the heater automatically shuts off.

It's a very nice little heater.

I have owned this little workhorse for 7 years. It is safe with grandkids and pets, reliable as the sun, and very effective heating for a small to medium-sized area. Mine is finally giving up the ghost after all these years, and I plan on replacing it with another one just like it.

I work in an office in CT that is all glass. In the winter our central heating system has some trouble keeping up b/c it's very, very cold near the windows and this heater is NOT good. Other space heaters I've had are able to warm the room much quicker and maintain that temperature.

This heater doesn't get very hot. You can touch it when it's set to it's highest setting. I suppose it would be good to keep a storage room above freezing or maybe it'd be good around pets or kids since you couldn't possibly burn yourself on it.

For the price you're going to pay, I say skip this one and keep looking.
