Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

-easy on/off operation

-I've forgotten to turn it on beforehand...being hopeful I turned it on at the beginning of a one-hour massage and the towels were perfectly hot and ready by the end for me to use on my clients back

-arrived on time, no damage in the shipping whatsoever. packed very professionally and securely

-can easily warm up to 10 washcloth-size towels, wet beforehand, fold in half, and roll up

-mild warning: moist warm towels coming out of the warmer smelled funny to me. clients said nothing about the smell. it was not good nor bad, just funny. so after i wet them the next time, i added a couple drops of scented oil blend on the towels...they smelled wonderful !

-i highly recommend this towel warmer. the size is perfect for my in-home massage studio. fits on the bottom of a bookshelf.

I really like this hot towel cabinet, it takes about 20 minutes to get a wet washcloth completely hot, but it's what I expected b/c I never had one before. I'm very pleased! :)

I am giving this towel cabi one star because the towels come out too hot to use. There is no way to vary the temperature, so when I am using the hot towels in a massage session I have to take them out (hurts my hands it's so hot), shake them out to cool them for a while, and then I can use them. Not efficient. Then I'm always worried it will be too hot for the client, also. Total FAIL!

I fell in love with this at first sight, unfortunately the color is not antique white. It is more of an antique yellow. A canary yellow to be exact and the mahogany slates are not mahogany but black. I would have never purchased this color or have even given it a second thought had I seen it in true color. It's still a beautiful piece but just a warning to those who are really hoping for a mahogany and antique white fireplace.

It is beautiful well constructed and is an addition to the master bedroom remodel that really brings the room the warmth and comfort feeling we were seeking. The fact that it is alcohol burning means it is a safe alternative and with kids in the house that is a HUGE selling feature.

Progressus ServIt Hot Plate Heaters, Pack of 4 Reviews

Progressus ServIt Hot Plate Heaters, Pack of 4
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

We did finally purchase these because our Fiestaware plates are so thick, they pull the heat from your food. These heat mats definitely do what they claim, but there are a couple of things that concerned us. First, they DO smell like a car tire when heated. You don't have to have a sensitive nose to get this. The smell of car tires isn't the worst thing, but I don't think it's very appetizing, either. The smell does transfer to the plate until the condensation evaporates, but we did notice that they sometimes leave a film on the plate that doesn't go away with the condensation. Not sure if this is something the silicone secretes, or some kind of other reaction to heat, but I don't want it on my food. We have been able to wipe it off with a dry paper towel and have continued to use the heat mats, despite this nuisance. That said, we certainly do like having warmer food on our plates. I just hope I don't start turning into Lou Ferrigno!

My wife & I love these. It is so simple. Just put on flat plate, stack multiple plates, and put in microwave on high for 30 seconds. The plates get really hot and the edges are plenty cool to touch. It has really saved our food from getting the heat zapped so quickly in the winter, especially for food that doesn't hold its heat very long like eggs and pancakes. But we use it for every hot dinner, even before placing pizza slices on a plate. It really couldn't work any better. They are simply constructed, so I would expect them to last a very long time. Just have a hot pad handy to set the warmer on after you take it off the plate. It doesn't hold its heat very long on its own, but for a few seconds it is pretty hot, mostly from heat from your plate which retains its heat.

I'm sure warming times vary by your microwave. On my 1100 watt microwave (1650 input, 1100 cooking output), it takes only 30 seconds on my thickest plates stacked by 2, and less on smaller thinner plates. I would be careful about over heating your plates if too rapid of expansion could possibly crack your plate. I have plates I really like and haven't been worried at all by these. I just don't push it. 30 seconds is really hot for my thick plates.

I used to run hot water and dry them, which took a while so I rarely did it. This is so much more effective and easy.

Following directions, we used these several times. The third time, it cracked a plate that we'd long had and often heated in the oven. As one thinks about it, this isn't too surprising: The ServIt heats the center of the plate strongly while not heating the circumference at all; thermal stress is a certain result and a cracked plate is a likely outcome--as we found in practice.

I was looking for a affordable boiler for my kitchen counter. The Secura 4.6 quart seemed the best choice balancing price and capacity. You can pay much more for similar products, but I really don't know why you would. This appliance had stood up very well through nearly 3 weeks of heavy (ab)use.

Now, devices like this do a good job at having hot water available for tea, cocoa mix, instant coffee, ramen noodles, etc., but I was looking for an additional very different reason. I am in the middle of a most of the house remodelchiefly the kitchen and bathroom. I have no hot water heater and am still debating a single whole house on demand unit vs 3 point of use on demand units. Meanwhile, heating 3 qt sauce pans of water on a hot plate is getting old not to mention slow. That is the principle reason I purchased this appliance. I turn it on the first thing I get up each morning. In about 20 minutes I have hot water to wash my face and fill my French press pot to make coffee. I make sure it is kept filled all day long. We have hot water whenever it is needed to make tea, soup cups, wash some dishes, more pots of coffee, you name it. I have been heating on average 6 full pots of water everyday for nearly three weeks in other words, it is getting a heavy duty work out and it works perfectly. We have very nearly perfect pH water where I live so I haven't needed to use the cleaning cycle yet, but I have real faith in that. Any device that just keeps performing nearly round the clock for three weeks must be well made and, at least in my book, be considered dependable.

Turning to more conventional product performance concerns, it is very well insulated, as I was reminded this morning. I didn't use the last batch of water I heated up last night. When I unplugged the unit for the day at bedtime, it had been holding the water at the lowest setting (176F) for a few hours. My house is about 65F at night. When I plugged it in this morning, it brought the water back to boiling (212F) in less than 10 minutes. It couldn't have lost much heat overnight. If you lay your hand on the side of it while turned on, it is just slightly warm. If you have kids around, you needn't be concerned with them touching the housing. And there is no accidental tripping a stream of scalding hot water. To use the auto-dispense device, you must first depress the safety switch (unlock button) again, a good thing if you have kids around (or inattentive grown-ups). If you don't want to use electricity to dispense your water, you can use the big button on the top, just like on conventional thermos-type air pot. This is also handy if you decide you want a late night cup of tea right after you unplug it for the day. Something I learned last night. (No, 176F isn't great for making a cup of black tea, but it does a nice job on green tea besides you can hold the water at either 194F ideal for press pot coffee or 208F if you need it hotter.)

I am very pleased with this water boiler, both using it as intended and even more so using it in my unusual albeit temporary manner. Actually, having used this as I have, I would especially recommend one for anyone with an RV I have never been pleased with the temperature of the hot water in any RV I have been in when it came time to wash dishes. With this, I use 2 quarts from the boiler and add enough cold to make it possible to put my hands in the dish water. I have cleaned up dishes from making a cake and 2 batches of cookies along with my supper dishes from a single batch of dish water made up this way. And there is enough hot water left to make up a dish pan of hot rinse water at the same time. Even once I have the hot water heater(s?) installed, it will remain a new best friend in my kitchen. I love being able to have a fresh pot of press pot coffee in moments all day long. No more waiting for the kettle to boil sweet.

I have used but not owned the more expensive Japanese water boilers/dispensers. That said, for the unbeatable, reduced price, this thing works great. It's high capacity and boils water quickly and keeps it hot. It gives you hot water 24/7 if needed or wanted. What else can you ask for? I bought this for work and we serve hot water to an older crowd. Unfortunately the controls are going to be a pain in the butt. This thing "locks" automatically after 30 seconds or so and you have to press "unlock" to use it again. I wish there was a way to toggle this autolock on or off. Other than that, this is a cheap and nice alternative to those of us who don't want to pay $250 to boil water.

I've had this water boiler for a few weeks now and have absolutely no complaints. My boyfriend uses it daily to make french press coffee and I use it mostly to make tea, hot chocolate, and cups of ramen. This is a definite upgrade from my previous water boiler, which after working faithfully for 10 yrs stopped having water pressure. I love that you just have to press a button to dispense the water. My previous one only had a manual pump on the top. I haven't had any issues with cleaning or any sort of deposits or build up but then again, I've only had it a few weeks. I use mostly filtered water to boil. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Happy to have a good looking water boiler that doesn't look cheap and doesn't look like it's from the 80's with flower prints on the sides of it.

Honest reviews on Secura Electric Water Boiler and Warmer

Loved this water heater the first day I used it, then two nights later, a flood. Overnight, about a litre of water 'leaked' from the pot and flooded the countertops and wood floors.

All the lights were on, but the machine had switched itself off and the water was 'warm'. So I unplugged it...hoping for a reset and a working kettle. I plugged it back in and reboiled. About 25 minutes later, I checked. It had boiled...and boiled and boiled. The cabinets were 'steamed' to the point that the finish on my cherry cabinets were damaged. I had to pull the plug again just to stop it boiling. Now the water pump had stopped working completely and only the manual pump was usable.

I'd love to try again, but will stick with a conventional kettle next time.

I have a house that was built in the 50's. It's got an old Beckett oil furnace. When the burner was on the fire was cutting out for a fraction of a second and then burning again. (it even sounds like it's cutting in and out) This was getting increasingly worse to the point where it would cut out for a full second. I don't know anything about oil furnaces so I looked it up online and learned the basics of the oil furnace parts and what they did. After reading about someones account of problems similar to mine and that he solved it by replacing the filter I decided to take a wrench to my fiter and see what I could figure out. It turns out that the filter is real easy to remove. Do a search online so that you can figure out what the filter housing looks like. Take a wrench to the large center bold which lowers the bottom part of the filter and once loose, it can be lowered all the way and removed.

I actually fixed my furnace by wiping the old filter element clean. It was covered in black goo. I just checked Amazon and found these filters at a really reasonable price so I just ordered 2 of them. The next time my furnace starts acting up I'm just going to replace that old filter with one of these new ones. When I described my problem to a furnace repair man he wanted $100 just to come out to take a look at my furnace. So, I just saved myself a lot of money. I also read that it's recommended to replace this filter once a season.

By the way. Because of the way my filter is mounted above the fuel line, when I removed the filter the fuel in the fuel line leaked back toward the fuel tank. When putting the filter back on I filled it with kerosene so that there wouldn't be any air in it but when I was done I aparently had a large air bubble in the fuel line. After about 20 seconds of the furnace running with no fire I remembered to press the burner reset button. The first time I pressed it the burner fired up for a few seconds then cut out. The second time I pressed it my burner lit back up and ran fine.

About your oil funace,I have ben working on them for 30yrs.When you take out the filter have a new one to replace it.Also when you filled the oil filter

container. you have a wrench the size of the air bleeder,on oil pump,just like disk brakes.(but it's on the bottom)

put a container under it. Then as soon as the furnace kicks on, open the bleed

fitting until oil starts coming out,not just foam,that's mostly air.But as soon as pure oil comes out,close the fitting and and furnace should light off right away.A tip try and do this 1 day after a delivery,because of level of oil in tank is higher,and waiting a day lets sediment settle and will get trapped by filter.yearly maint. includes checking if electrodes are worn out,some are adjustable.Also if you have a old furnace,you can save money by haveing a new high speed burner put in.also if you ever change your furnace stick with oil.Iused to do boiler efficiency tests oil can get upto 97%,gas like 89%

You can always pay $50 or $100 worth of oil to any company to hold you over.

Also if changing the furnace get a cold start boiler and a 40 gal amtrol hw heater,wired for priority HW,shuts off heat when taking a shower.Also the boiler will never come on unless you need it.Unlike old boilers even new ones that have the HW coil inside,which means your oil furnace,must stay at 180 degrees no matter what.Waste of oil. Hoped that helped.ps if your beckett burner has a cad cell the red button will be on burner,if not old furnaces use a bimetal safety,which must be cleaned anually,(shut off power remove stack switch and just use a hand wire brush,take the soot off,tht's what is causing it to malfuntion,soot is insulatin the bi metal safety)usually can only get at holding screw thru top of boiler right above safet stack switch.If it doesn't sense heat in 15 to 30 seconds will shut down furnace. the newer ones has a fire-eye sensor under the the transformer that can get dirty too,just wipe clean.

This is a piece of junk. It can barely keep wine cool in the winter with the heat off. The fan runs all the time no matter what. Furthermore, when the room temperature is a tad bit above 70 degrees, the light starts flashing along with a constant beeping. The only way to stop this, is to unplug it.

The manufacturer offers no suggestion other than saying it's probably the pc. In my mind "pc" is personal computer, not microprocessor which is probably what is controlling the light flashing and beeping. The manufacturer offers no method of getting a unit which is properly working, even though they shipped the original flashing and beeping unit. They consider it yours because you, well, opened their box. This is the kind of treatment that gives a bad name to internet shopping.

It worked well for a while.

Sure it took a couple days to truly cool stuff, but then it totally died days after the warranty.

Zero. Nothing. Nada.

I'm very sad it was a wedding present with best intentions, and we enjoyed it immensely.

Now this "thing" is in a Florida landfill.

Consider a real refrigerator if you really care about wine temperature.

Refridgerators cost more to operate, but failure is rare, even at the low-end. Add up your costs and you will conclude as I have that this technology is unreliable. Search the internet and you will discover many like me.

Stay far, far away from anything manufactured or "serviced" by Sunpentown.

After five months of owning this piece of garbage, it just stopped working. Just went dead, for no apparent reason. Rather than honoring their warranty and sending me a replacement, they made me SEND THE UNIT back to them, at a whopping price of almost $40 in postage. (Looking back, I was a complete fool for falling for this.) Then they alerted me that the unit had arrived "damaged" but out of the goodness of their hearts they were willing to send me a RECONDITIONED unit for $70. How long do you think the reconditioned unit would have lasted if a NEW one lasted only five months?

I'm now on a one-man crusade to make sure nobody else makes the mistake of buying these terrible products. They're garbage and the company that sells them is unethical. They dealt with me in very bad faith. Do yourself a favor and look for something more solid, with better craftsmanship and most importantly, a company that STANDS BY ITS PRODUCTS AND ISN'T DEVOTED TO RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS.

This unit was a replacement for a previous different model heater which lasted many years. It is easy to use, the lid is solid, and the pump is quiet. The adjustable temperatures are convenient. The only thing that could be improved is to be able to shut off the beeps that occur after the water is ready to be used following a refill. It is Ok during the day, but not necessary at night. It is possible to delay the heating with a timer, which then also of course delays the beeps to the next morning.
