I ordered this after receiving a Amazon gift card as a gift. I didn't seek it out, but found it perusing around on the site and thought it looked cool so I took a chance. We always have backyard campfires over an old tree stump, and sometimes if they get a little too big I keep the water hose handy to keep it contained. But that problem was solved when we got the fire ring. We love it! It contains the fire and looks really cool with the moon and star cutouts. Our friends always compliment us on it and ask where we got it. It's really heavy duty too, and the material is anti-rust (we haven't seen a speck of rust and it's been sitting in the elements for several months). It's fairly priced, looks cool, and very practical. Plus it was really easy to put together. A definite must have for any backyard fire! Makes things a LOT more safe too.

Nicely made it's heavy enough gauge steel to keep it from bending but not too heavy to move if necessary. We use ours at campgrounds that don't have their own fire rings. We replaced the included nuts and bolts with stainless steel bolts and wing nuts to make assembly/disassembly easier although there is nothing wrong with the included hardware. It's slightly larger than I would have liked 3' in diameter but there is nothing comparably-made that is smaller. After having several very hot fires in it there is no noticeable damage to the paint or metal it should last us many years. I am well pleased with it.

I bought this campfire ring because I liked the night sky design. I was pleased to find that it is easy to assemble and is made of a heavy enough gauge of steel to last for years. I built a base for the ring from landscape stone and have received several compliments on the uniqueness of the our campfire setup, and yes the sky design looks great lit up! I recommend this product for it's design, durability and price.

Got this fire pit last year and built and stone fire pit around the metal ring itself! It turned out GREAT and everything fits smoothly! Fast shipping and this was put together in 2 minutes, 8 bolts!

I chose it for the size & it 'seemed' sturdy.

I truly expected it to be flimsy & hoped for the best. It is actually quite thick & sturdy. Cannot beat it for the price I paid. Love this type because it is lower maintenance than the portable ones & is much larger.

Family has made s'mores & hot dogs already. May get adventurous & get a grill top for it.

*UPDATE* One concern is that it does rust easily. The screws are the worst. We had to sand & spray it w/ rust proof black. I HIGHLY recommend you buy some rustolleum spray paint and treat it before assembly, then follow up with another blast around screws. It will save a ton of work & extend the life a lot.

I really liked the idea of the split system, and the idea that it could be a lot quieter than a window A/C. I needed the 25' hose kit since I was installing it on a second floor room (~250 sq ft), so I had to order through the distributor instead of Amazon.

It's now installed and it works cools and heats really well. It's a bit noisier than I thought from the other reviews, but it's a lot quieter than the old window unit it's replacing. We use the room for meditation and yoga we were hoping for something even quieter, but its internal squirrel cage fan seems a little off balance, and various plastic parts sometimes rattle.

It arrived in three packages the outside unit, the inside unit, and the hoses. For me the hardest part about installing the outside unit was that I had to put in an outside disconnect box for power, and all the conduit and fittings that required, and a dedicated 15 amp circuit. It took a couple of days and about four trips back to the hardware store to get it right. It easily just sits on a couple of 12"x12" pavers from Home Depot you could use cinder blocks just something under the feet.

The indoor unit was hard to mount it's heavy and awkward you need two people. I had to buy a 2-3/4" hole saw to make the hole in the wall for the hoses (pipes), power cable, and condensation drain line (one hole for all). But it does snap onto the bracket when it's done.

The (amazing!) instructions are actually adequate, but they had me buy a torque wrench for the refrigerant flare fittings, which it turns out you don't need a regular adjustable wrench (or two) is fine. It took a couple of trips up and down the ladder with soap solution and the wrenches to get the fittings snug and not leaking. The thing they don't tell you is that to get the air out of the system you press the Schrader valve stem for 3-4 seconds (it really blasts out) on the "T-branch valve" (which is closed, while the fluid line valve is open). Then you're good to go.

The tape you're supposed to wrap the hoses (pipes), cable, and drain line with is not sticky it's just a strip of thin vinyl, and it's too easy to drop it from high on a ladder while you're wrapping. But it finally works.

The last thing that got me was when it was all wired up, nothing happened. I used a test meter and verified that power was going to the outside unit from the disconnect box okay, and to the cable to the indoor unit. I finally had the determination to open the cover on the indoor unit, remove the 5 screws, and remove the middle cover. Then I removed the metal cover from the electronics module (one screw) and discovered that the cable had pulled and one of the power connectors was now about one inch too short to reach where it was supposed to connect! Another trip to the hardware store and I had an extension (the cable could not be pulled back since it was now all wrapped tight with the hoses). It was hard to plug in, but with a long pair of needle-nose pliers I finally got it. Putting it all back together is tricky (a true Chinese puzzle) but patience works, and the air-direction vanes are not damaged, and everything fits nicely.

And it works!

I figure I saved $1000 by installing it myself (based on one bid from an HVAC guy), and I'm happy I did. I'd definitely do it again.

I bought this air conditioner for a 350 SQ FT office, it did very good job cooling it down, it is quiet.

Installation was easy, the included instructions were very brief and hard to understand (that is why it lost a star). I found a couple of videos on youtube that made the installation very easy.

Today was the first time to use the heat pump, no complains.

Great Product! Quick ship. Very quiet unit inside and out. My weather has been relatively cool, thus a real test will come with the heat. My only complaint is the manual and instructions. They are somewhat less than precise, however tech support is great via phone. I am not very handy or experienced and I got it done.

Honest reviews on Celiera 12000 BTU 1 Ton Ductless Wall Mount Mini Split Room Air

I should have bought this years ago! I had a window unit in my bedroom for many years. Lost the use of the window, and had to constantly clean the filter, and the condenser. This unit eliminated all of that, although filter maintenance is still important.

Unit arrived in 3 boxes, all in good shape (no damage at all). Instructions weren't the best in the world, but with some good feedback here, and a few You Tube videos, installation was pretty straight forward. Inside unit is heavy, so it really needs two people to lift it into place. Marking and cutting the hole for the lines/wires was pretty straight forward also.

Outside unit had one minor flaw, that was pretty easy to fix. The fins on the condenser are not protected. The opening around the fins was wide open, with no protection at all. I installed a couple of pieces of hardware cloth (wire mesh) in these two areas, and now have good protection for the fins. Outside unit is pretty heavy so have some help available to move it around and get it set in the right spot. You can buy a small faux concrete or rock platform for the unit to sit on, but I made my own platform from treated lumber.

Installation of the outside unit was pretty straight forward also. Lines were easy to hook up, and bleeding the air out of the system was a breeze (hold the schrader valve open for a 4 second blast to air free the system expect oil to spray out onto your hand during this step).

System is whisper quiet, inside and out. I was so used to the window unit making noise that I had to check a few times to make sure the new unit was indeed running. Even the outside unit is extremely quiet. I keep the bedroom (14' X 18' room) very cold for sleeping, and this unit will cool the room down to a very comfortable (chilly) temperature in about 20 minutes or less (I turn the unit on about 20 minutes or so before I get ready to go to bed, and turn it off when I get up in the morning)

When hooking up the electrical for the outside unit, you must provide your own box, and either a separate breaker for the unit, or a plug for the unit. The electrical feed wire for the unit has bare wires at the end no plug. Either wire directly into a breaker mounted in an outside box, or install a plug and an exterior outlet for the unit. Not a big deal either way, but the unit does NOT come with materials to do this. You must buy these items separately (Home Depot, Lowes, or any other hardware store will have what you need).

All in all, this an excellent system, and I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a good air conditioning system for a room. I plan on buying another unit for my new office, and one for my new music room. Beats a window unit hands down, and is much better than adding a new central unit for my addition, or even running extra ductwork and vents from the existing central unit.

I bought this unit to condition the air in a partially converted garage. I was a little concerned having never installed a unit like this before, but figured i'd give it a whirl.

The unit showed up in 3 boxes, the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, and the hoses. Installation was pretty easy despite the instructions which were seemingly written on a speak and spell. The hardest part was making the hoses look like something other that a mess after installation. I had to coil them up and wire tie them. Otherwise, the individual pieces were small enough to move and install by yourself, and i figure had i not had to make 3 trips to the hardware store, i could have been done in about half a day.

The unit works like a champ, is nice and quite, and i am well pleased. however, if you are going to do this yourself, and you are going to do it to code, expect to spend about another $100 at lowes buying conduit, breakers, the right size hole saw, and a outside disconnect.

This is a great little heater. I got it for my daughter's room a little over a month ago because Consumer Reports rated it highly. For $25 bucks, it does all I ask. What I like is that you can set it you heat 360 degrees or only push the heat to the front. I set it to the latter, because it's so compact a good place for it is on top of a dresser.

Only thing I wish it had was a digital thermostatic control, but after a couple days of fiddling, you get just the right temperature and can leave it there, tweaking it if necessary.

Worked well the first year. Second year it overheated to the point that the plastic was soft and the knobs would burn you if you touched them. It annoys me that so much junk gets sold today. I would much rather have paid a higher price for a heater that was reliable year after year.

I bought this heater last year and used it all winter very happily. It worked very well and kept my computer room comfy and warm.

This year i brought it out to use, plugged it in for day use and on the second day it started turning off on me after about 3 min of use. I unplugged it and let it cool off since it got amazingly hot after that 3 min and i discovered the black, round casing with the holes in it that goes around the top, had melted itself open in the back.

I loved this heater last year but can only give it 2 stars due to longevity.

Granted, I've had the heater for a couple of years now... But for this price, the thing should last for years, walk the dogs, and babysit my kids if it's not actually going to heat my home office (10'x12'). Implication being that it doesn't heat my office. Exactly. The heater never worked well, and now it doesn't work at all. It turns on. And it blows warm air ineffectively for anywhere from 2.5 seconds to a minute, then it shuts itself off and doesn't come back on until you've completely forgotten about its existence and your hands are small blocks of ice. It absolutely will not stay on but even when it was new and stayed on a little longer, it was pathetic. Complete junk. No idea where the receipt is. May roof test it because the entertainment I'd get for that would be worth well more than the little puffs of warm air it erratically produces.

Review of 18x25x1-MERV 12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure (Box of 6)

18x25x1-MERV 12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I have been shopping for a MERV 11 or 12 or better filter for my air conditioning unit on Amazon, and narrowed it down to two competitive products:

1) 3M Filtrete Micro Allergen Reduction Filters, 1000 MPR, 6-pack, $70.49

2) Nordic Pure AC Furnace Air Filters MERV 12, Box of 6 (This product), $50.33

In order to compare these products, I collected the following info for myself and for others that read my reviews:

MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. It is a number from a test method designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The number is intended to help people compare filters. Generally speaking, a higher MERV rating indicates better filter performance. Filters with a merv rating of 9 to 12 are used in commercial and industrial applications and will stop particles in the 1 to 3 micron range. These filters are a great choice for home owners who want the best dust control possible.

1000 MPR is equivalent to MERV 11. 1000 MPR Performance Rating captures:

1) Airborne micro particles, including smoke.

2) Airborne allergens, including pollen, pet dander, mold and bacteria.

3) Large particles like dust and lint.

MERV 12 is a better rating than 1000 MPR. It captures:

1) Legionella,

2) Humidifier Dust,

3) Smoke,

4) Copier Toner,

5) Rigid Cell Filters,

6) Face Powder,

7) Paint Pigments,

8) Insecticide Dust

Pleated Air Filters Are Among The Top Performers In The Heating, Ventilation And Air Conditioning industry. Electrostatic furnace filters are becoming very popular with home owners who want to achieve better air quality in their homes. These air filters are designed to replace any type of panel filter or frame type air filter you currently use in your heating and air conditioning equipment.

Nordic Pure manufactures pleated air filters with MERV 12 and MERV 13 ratings which means it is over 97 percent efficient. This is a very high rating for pleated filters. They are able to attain this very high rating by incorporating electrostatic characteristics in the pleated design. Another factor that makes their filters appealing is they don't support the growth of bacteria, fungi or mold and they capture 97.8% of the microscopic airborne dust, pollen, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria and particulates carrying bacteria and viruses in the air.

On top of that, if you compare the prices, this product is a winner. And this is free shiping! I can't find another seller that is any better than this!

After installation I feel my indoor air is fresher, and air quality is better. Also seemed like the AC unit didn't have to run as long before it stopped. This is to compare my memory of the old and probably semi-clogged filters.

I am happy with this product. No regret. I am planning to replace it every 6 months.

Over the years, my wife and I have used many different filters. We haven't found any that worked any better than this one, and many that were much worse. AND none competed at the price. I'm going to be reordering when the box we have now runs out. I'm particularly impressed that these filters don't give way as dirt collects on them. They are sturdy and remove dust and dirt effectively.

I have been using this filter brand and size almost a year now and am very satisfied and so I am writing a review because the product deserves it. I noticed that the Air Conditioning runs about 15 minutes to drop the house temperature one degree when the outside temperature is colder than the inside temperature. When the unit runs 20 minutes or longer for a degree of temperature drop and/or the filter looks slightly gray, I change the filter. For my size house, I have to change the filter about once a month. I waited 6 weeks this time and the filter was gray.

Also the air quality in the house is better with the Merv 12.

Since the filter sizes are 17.5 inch x 24.5 inches x .75 inches and I wanted a tight fit into the slot, I used Duct Tape to seal the filter off into the slot. The space was small and hard to work in and I wanted a tight fit with the filter, so I tried something else and it worked well.

I bought through Amazon.com a bag of Low Density Foam Tape Weatherstrip with the following : 1/2 in x 3/4 in. x 17 ft. I lay the filter on the bare floor, and run the stripe so the adhesive holds to the filter frame of the filter. It take less than a minute to do it. The Filter now has a foam rubber stripe around the sides of the filter frame that will slip into the slot of the A/C and Furnace. It now takes less than 15 seconds to insert the Nordic Filter into it proper place in the air intake side. Using the Duct Tape was a 15 to 30 minute job and the seal was not as good as the one I am getting now. Removing the filter now is also very easy: it takes about 5 seconds.

The irregular size was what originally brought me to Amazon to try to find some furnace/AC filters, and these are better than anything I could have bought elsewhere for less money. The filters seem high quality and the MERV value is unbeatable for the money. I will definitely order again. No more trooping back and forth to some store trying to find the right filters!

These filters are sturdy and provide excellent filtering. I live on a farm, so there's always a lot of dust coming into the house. These filters capture a lot of it, so not nearly so much is getting into my A/C system. Because it's summer and very hot, I've been changing the filter about every 15 days, no problem. Very good choice for your A/C.

I looked at every fake fireplace and settled on this one because of the size and the weight. We wheel it from the bedroom in the morning to the living room and back into the bedroom at night. We don't use the baseboard heaters at all anymore. It is easy to move around and heats up the room really quickly. The fire effect without the heat is really nice once the room is warm you can still enjoy the fire. I LOVE IT!

This Honeywell Portable Air conditioner had exceeded my expectations. When I was looking to buy a new portable air conditioner I did a lot of research to find a good one. I couldn't find very much information on Honeywell Portable air conditioners but I knew that Honeywell has a good reputation in other categories of appliances. I decided to go for this Honeywell portable air conditioner and I am so glad that I did! It worked really well throughout the entire summer. We had some really hot days and this air conditioner always provided releif and the portability is really convenient. The other nice feature is that when the unit is not being used you can take the exhaust pipe out of the window for when its cold out, or for security so that you can lock your window. The performance of this unit was really above my expectations. It cooled our Kitchen, Livingroom, Dining Room and a large hallway! It also looks much sleeker than other units, and it's quieter than our previous unit. I would recommend this unit for anyone in the market for a portable air conditioner.

For the life of me, I can't understand all the bad reviews on this air conditioner. Does not blow cold air? Does not cool the room? Too loud?? All I can figure is that these users did not adjust the settings and/or venting correctly (fan mode vs cooling mode; temperature set too high; venting blocked). So far, my experience with this product has been excellent. It definitely blows cold air; it definitely cools the room I bought it for; and even on the highest speed, it is no louder than a fan (in fact, it is quieter than one of my fans). Not having to regularly empty a condensation bucket/tray is also a HUGE plus! I highly recommend this product.

The reviews indicate that this will cool a room. I haven't found that to be the case. I live in San Diego in a small one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom has a window unit that does an awesome job of cooling that room. The Honeywell blows cold air but even with a fan boosting the cold air into the room, it's fails at keeping the other 400 square feet below 80 degrees. Keeping in mind that San Diego is not exactly a furnace.

Pet peeve: why don't they make the units able to fit flush against wall and make the sides accessible for venting and airflow?

It's relatively quiet and attractive as these units go but seriously wish I had spent the money on a window unit.

The unit is very heavy and somewhat hard to get around even with casters. It cools ok, but not well enough for my needs. My bedroom is far below 450 sq ft and it barely cools it. It is generally quiet but when it senses a temperature change in the room it kicks into high gear, becoming excessively and intolerably LOUD. I don't like the fact that you have to empty water from the unit, it was difficult and not something I am willing to deal with on a regular basis.
