This is by far a great heater, really heats a room quickly. It is so small and compact, it can be stored anywhere. I gave away a brand new bulky space heater that I had previously purchased once I used this Pelonis heater . Not to mention its safety feature, if it tips it turns off. Truley a worthwhile investment.

I've owned Pelonis heaters in the past, and this is not a Pelonis heater. It's a cheap copy made in China. You can tell as soon as you lift it that it's a piece of junk.

We bought it for a vacation home. As soon as I put it on the floor and turned it on, it quickly overheated and short-circuited. The outside became so hot that you couldn't touch it without burning yourself.

The printing on the outside of the box says it's UL-Approved. I don't believe it. I have worked in a factory producing UL-Approved products, and there is no way this heater would have survived their tests.

I just installed this heater a couple of days ago and have been using it the last two nights. Here are my thoughts on it: Installation instructions and operation manual are pretty straight forward. As is the install not a big deal. Only trouble I had was that the gas port on the bottom comes with a metal plug in it (to keep moisture out of the heater while it is being stored in the warehouse) and it was a bit tight to get out. A hex key came with the heater for plug removal but I had to put a 'cheater' on the hex key to get a little more leverage.

I have run it the last couple of nights and here is what I found: it only got down to the low 40's (Fahrenheit) here so I put the dial on "2" and the heater would not kick on until my room temperature dropped to about 68 degrees. It stays on until the temperature hits 70 and then it shuts off and the pilot light remains on. When the heater is running and generating heat it makes a small "shushing" sound that I find is pleasant white noise.

To sum up: I like this heater, it does a good job of zone heating for my bedroom and I recommend it.

We live in an old farmhouse circa 1905. No insulation. These little gas heaters are a life saver. I recommend!

I have a larger one of these and I really like it. I like this one as well, but I really want to see ProCom make a fan for it and include it in the price of this unit. The main reason being "It really would help to have the fan in it." It puts out heat very well, but you need something to help circulate it. So I use a a standing fan or something else to help move it around. They should at least offer a unit with a built in fan, even if it cost a good chunk more. If you're looking for good quick heat and heat that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, then you found what you want. Just make sure to get a small fan to help move the heat around.

I love my duraflame infrared electric heater /fireplace mantel. It's my first so I hope I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It pumps out the heat! I have it in my livingroom and it keeps it comfortable. I keep it on 72F the default setting and the heater auto shuts itself off when it reaches it's temperature, an when it drops in the room it comes back on.The heater is not loud. It also has an auto timer too which is nice! Also a flame adjuster and remote. When you shut the unit off the fan will keep blowing to cool the components down(for a few minutes). Also the wheels on the mantel are convenient,because you can roll it into any room to "knock the chill off "without turning your heater up in your home. The picture actually didn't do it justice. I was impressed with the mantel nice wood finish,beautiful and I fell in love with the flame, it is very real looking. My parents have a duraflame infrared electric heater stove at their house and I was impressed with the real looking flame and the heat it put out. So I decided to get one. Delivery of my order was fast and arrived in excellent condition and already assembled, so all I did after unpacking it was plug it in!

We live in a 1970s mobile home with 2 additions. Its not very well insulated and to make matters worse, our furnace ducts run under the belly of the home where they are exposed to the cold air. Our propane bill hit $650.00 for just 5 weeks of heat, and we knew we were in trouble. So we bought this electric fireplace for our living/dining/kitchen/hallway and use it along with 3 smaller infrared heating unts (one in each bedroom) and our house stayed comfortably (70 degrees) warm the rest of winter. It felt SOOO good to call the propane company and tell them we didnt need them to come back out for a LONG time. (our water heater is still propane but Im considering changing that) Even better, Our electric bill has stayed under 200 bucks and I am one HAPPY CAMPER!!! Our total investment in all 4 units is less than we paid for one month of propane!!!!! No more wondering how we will ever be able to afford to heat our home.

-It is every bit as beautiful as it looks.

-The "flame" is nice and you can adjust the brightness/amount. Our toddler loves to watch the flame

-We have a toddler and a dog and its not too hot or dangerous for them to play around.

-The remote is tiny enough to hide out of the way but the buttons are big/easy to use.

-And the best part, it doesnt look like a portable heater in my livingroom but thats EXACTLY what it is.

(I actually came back hoping to buy another for our 3 seasons room that we are wanting to convert to a master bedroom. Hopefully it will be back in stock soon!)

I couldn't believe how quick we received our fireplace. it's beautiful, heats the room nice and evenly too. we had a propane fireplace, up near the ceiling it would be hot and the floor would be cold. now it's nice and toasty high and low.. the fire sure looks real too. we really love our fireplace. we have only owned it a few days so not sure how the electric bill will be but i do know the furnace hasn't kicked on all afternoon. so saving on propane for sure. great item.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Infrared Rolling Mantel - 5200 BTU, 1500 Watts, Model#

Being somewhat hesitant to purchase a fake fireplace, I must say this is very nice. The wood quality is better than I expected. The size is perfect, not too large and certainly not too small. The flames are realistic enough, it does set the mood. The infrared heater is excellent for our large patio room. The only thing I would change is the fan noise. It's slightly louder then I would like but not overwhelming. That's why I gave it just 4 stars. Would I purchase this again? Yes I love this new addition to our home.

Just received our Duraflame Infrared Rolling Mantel 5200 BTU, 1500 Watts, Model# 23IF1714-0107 yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. This is our first electric fireplace and I definitely didn't want it to look tacky. It is very beautiful. The wood is rich and the flame is suitable for us. No electric flame is going to look like the real thing, but this is nice and the flame is adjustable. I like the fact that it is on rollers -very portable. Another selling point for me was that it heats up to 1,000 sq ft. Most items this size only went up to 400 sq ft. That was a big issue for this purchase when researching the market: the mantel we needed could not be wider than 36" and that is a difficult quality to find. The area it is in is kind of odd. We bought it for heating a mother-in-law's quarters of our home which, after my mother-in-law recently passed away, is now a den area. The living quarters used a combo heater-A/C unit that is somewhat noisy. We decided that an electric fireplace might be quieter and more economically efficient for the area in the winter months. This product is definitely much more quiet and it is actually much closer to the TV/den area than the old unit. I have already recommended this unit to a friend! The only drawback, which is no big deal, is the smallness of the remote control. I am afraid it will get lost. It would be nice if the cabinet had a storage area on it for when the remote was not in use. I would definitely buy again.

Although this heater does heat up the space as indicated and as fast as indicated, it shoots a huge orange flame almost 2 feet to the top of the container. The instructions were easy to follow, however, it indicates that the flame should be blue, not orange and there was no way to adjust the flame. I am not going to use this heater unattended and will be purchasing something else.

I had read many complaints and likes about this product. Decided to go with it. Overall Price was excellent. I have it set up in my shop that is 20x30 with HIGH cielings. First time I lit it off I put it on High. The shop went from 14 to 75 in 5 minutes. This of course blew me away. But it made all the metal sweat and rust... OOOPPPS>... Put it on the low setting and the shop heated a bit slower, less condensation etc. I would recomend high cieling. this puts out a large volume of HOT HOT air above it. I have 14 ft cielings and would not dare use this in my garage. Good Buy. Good product.. No Problems here.

My plumber who installed this told me that I would need to set it on about 3 out of 5 to keep the detached garage apartment that I use for an office warm, which is about 450 square feet on a second floor with an unheated garage below. The other night it was 17 degrees and breezy outside and 1.25-1.5 out of 5 kept things comfortable. I have been using two electric heaters and the winter electric bills have been higher for the office than for my house on the same realty that has central heat and air, a washing macnine, an electric dryer, refrigerator, multiple TVs with every family member watching theirs and all sorts of other electrical devices. Further, electric heaters did not keep it warm, just unfrozen. Most winter days my fingers were darn cold on the keyboard. Now I look forward to winter days in the office. Why didn't I install this years ago? Great unit.

I wanted a ventless heater that didn't need power. We have frequent, and sometimes extended, power outages and it GETS COLD when the stupid GAS FURNACE won't operate without power!

So I installed it myself in the basement (there was already a gas connection there from an old gas clothes dryer) in about a hour. No problem. The instructions explain everything, and list what you need to buy extra (a few pieces of "black iron pipe", some gas-safe Mylar tape to wrap the pipe threads, and a flexible gas appliance hookup line. I got everything from the appliance section of the local hardware store in one trip. Installation worked the first try. It lit right up on the first try, too. Wheeee!

Now we turn the darned thing on anytime we're working in the basement (like doing laundry) during the winter. Very easy to use, very reliable (I'm on it's second winter), and IT PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT!

Electric heaterwas running full time.We had several minuofficial s 10 degrees nights. This heater was able to cycle on and off while still keeping the garage warm. I know my gas bill will be cheaper than electricity. It'll pay for itself soon.

This heater is a better quality then the blue flame kinds. If you are shopping make sure you buy the thermostate model and not the hight medium low models. Its worth the extra money so the heater will turn off and on automatically. The non-thermostat models stay on all the time either high, medium, or low flame.

I use this in my home in Ohio and it heats my two story three bedroom home without using my furnace at 14 degrees!!!

I have since installed them in my rental apartments to help my tenants save money on their gas. I am shocked that everybody doenst have these!!! They are so efficient and cost so little money and are a 5 minute installation!

I have used many heaters for ice fishing for my tents and of all the ones I have used this one is by far the best one I have ever used. It puts off plenty of heat for a 2 man, 3 man, and 4 man ice fishing tents with no problem it does so well that after about 25 minutes to 35 minutes of use in an ice fishing tent my buddies and I have to turn it down to either low or off because this heater WILL bake you out of the tent LOL. I have also used this in camping tents with no problems at all, we usually run the heater for about 35 minutes to get the tent nice and warm then turn it off and get into our sleeping bags. Just make sure that you don't kick this over after you turn it off in a camping tent it stays warm for awhile and it will melt/burn the hell out of your tent. I highly recommend this heater for anybody that camps or ice fishes in high altitude areas, unlike other heaters that have touchy low oxygen sensors and shut off and have a hard time reigniting this one will not give you ANY problems igniting and staying lit in a high altitude area. I have used other Mr. Heaters with the ceramic plates and most of them are crap if you are in high altitude areas, they work good in lower altitude areas but this one will give you no problems no matter where you are.

PROs

Easy to setup. The window kit was too short for one window and too long for another (it expands from approx 21 in. (1 piece) to around 42 inches (with both pieces), so I cut down 1 piece with a small skill saw and installed in the smaller window.

My unit arrived very quickly and was well packaged.

It does cool a moderately-sized room well, and a small room, really well.

Not too heavy and easy to move around on its rollers.

CONs

Noisy (like a window unit at a motel). I haven't tried the heater yet, but if it is as noisy as the A/C I will just pack it away until next summer.

Takes a minimum of approx 2ft x 3ft of space around the window, though I suppose you could cut the vent hose down and reduce this somewhat.

Since it is a dehumidifier, you have to manually drain the tank of water buildup. You can set up a continuous drain with the tube they give you, but because the end of the tube needs to be lower than the outgoing connection (which is on the bottom of the unit), you would probably want to put the unit on a small table. I live in a dryer area so don't know yet how long it can go without draining.

OTHER INFO

--The hose that connects the unit to the window expands to around 5 ft long (the unit works more efficiently if you keep this as short as possible) and the electric cord is around 6 1/2 ft long.

--There is a non-heater version (12000e) of this unit but with free shipping this one was the same price.

I bought this unit new and waited until this summer to open it. The unit did not work right out of the box. NewAir charged me $50 for s/h to return it, and they sent a replacement promptly. That one worked for only a month--and this was an extremely cool summer here. It comes on but does not cool the room. Now it is just barely past the 1-year warranty from the original purchase date, and NewAir refuses to help any further, saying to find a local service person.

For the month when it did work, the unit cooled very well, but was very loud. The plastic piece that goes in the window is very cheap. It wheels easily.

Honest reviews on NewAir AC12000H 12,000 BTU Heat Pump Portable Air Conditioner

works great heating this last winter and cooling this 105* degree summer (whew).

I.ve had no problems you do have to exhaust the air hose out the window, but it has

a kit for that included. you have to drain the water some where it does have a float if the tank fills

but rolling it somewhere to drain would be such a pain, so i ran a drain line outside.

im getting one for my mom now for a backup incase her unit fails. this unit does plug into a 115v outlet

no special plug needed.

Review of Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner

Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

We got this to replace a burner bought off the shelf. It died within the first week. I have been much happier with the results for this burner as a replacement for our dead stove. In fact, it heats up faster that our stove used to. Produces good heat quickly and has worked well in almost all situations.

The only issue I have is with what seems to be an overtemp safety because it will cycle itself on and off. A pot will get hot quickly but it also seems to senses that the pot is still there and hot, and decides to take a rest or turner off the burner for 15-30 sec while things in your pot stop boiling. It seems to come back quickly to reheat again, but cooking with an even hear is lost as the burner cycles on/off.

Cons:

-As was mentioned from the other reviews, this burner annoyingly cycles off and on. I have to unplug and re-plug to turn it on again. You cannot disable it. For me, this is the biggest deal breaker for this product.

-There is nothing in the manual to show the features and specs except safety precautions.

-You cannot use a large pan on it.

-Nothing to stabilize the pan but the actual heating coil.

-You have to use heavy pans with good heat conductor at the bottom (like the copper bottoms pans). If you use the aluminum teflon type, it will not sufficiently heat to fry anything.

Pros:

-Like the portability, size and weight.

-Very affordable.

I saw this on HGTV in some trendy house renovation shows. And, I did not know what it was but it looked really cool. And, when I saw it on later, I realized that this is an ancient kind of product we all are familiar with.

My excuse to buy this was that my house is under the hammer and we decided to chuck away the old gas stove. And, that means we can only eat frozen meals heated up in the microwave or this coil burner.*w*

Unlike some other reviewers expressed, I have only used this for boiling pastas, or stir-fried dishes. And, it was just amazing that how this $15 burner can cook as well and fast as my GE electric stove in my other condo. I have cooked some Chicken Soup for 4 hours one day, which turned out great as well, so I don't agree with other people's discontent myself.

I just wish I could put 4 of these coil burners when the house is complete instead of purchasing a couple of thousand halogen cook top. At least, a young couple on HGTV did it in their compact loft condo this way. with the coil covers, very clever! I think it looks good enough to keep it on the counter top.

The only flaw is that the spill plate under the heat coil leaves the burn marks from cooking if you don't wipe them immediately. But, then again, I could buy another without thinking! A very good value.

This is an excellent piece of cooking equipment! I love it!!

I purchased this for my travel to India... I rented a room at a place in India and wanted to be able to prepare quick meals in the comfort of my room, including tea... well this electric burner heats up quickly and safely ... just like my stove at home. It is small enough to easily store away.

Now that I am back in the US form India travel I sometimes use it when other stove elements at home are in use.. so the burner helps things move along faster and the best part is that it works so wonderfully and just like a stove element... Its a must have tool... especially for single folks :-) .. or if you move around a lot on travels away from home..

I shopped at SEVEN stores for a 5th burner type appliance. All I could find were warmers or products that looked as if they would not even boil water. All were priced much higher than this Proctor-Silex Fifth Burner.

This heats fast and the coils actually turn red like a regular electric stove. We got this for use while remodeling our kitchen and so I have used it daily for almost 2 months. I am very pleased with its performance and would recommend it as an efficent, no nonsense little appliance.
