We bought this to use our awesome Max Burton induction burner with some aluminum pans.

Put it on the burner, put an aluminum fry pan on top, with eggs in the pan, turned on the induction burner, and we waited...

Half a second later, there was a series of loud metallic pops. This kind of freaked us out, as you don't normally see that kind of behaviour in major appliances.

Upon immediately turning it off, we examined everything and noted rather large blisters in the thin metal sheeting on this disk. It no longer sat flat, and very little of the disk would make contact with the burner any more.

It lasted an incredible half of a second before breaking.

We contacted the company from which we bought it on Amazon (don't remember who it was so consider this review to be of the item, not the seller), and heard nothing back.

Fifty bucks flushed down the toilet.

NOT recommended.

This item does everything the manufacturer claims. All cookware can now be used on an induction cook-top, the tri-ply disk distributes the heat evenly, and the silicone handle is comfortable to hold, remaining cool in use.

I have an aluminum pressure canner, a non-stick hard-anodized sauce pan reserved for milk-based sauces and custards, a glass vacuum coffee pot, and several other items of cookware made of non-magnetic materials which are not induction compatible. Were it not for these items, I would not have bought this interface which effectively reduces the controllability, instant response, and efficiency to below that of a radiant cook-top.

Buy this item if you must retain cookware which is not induction compatible it will work well with them.

BUT... it makes absolutely no sense to hobble an induction cook-top's capabilities after paying its premium cost.

AND... It is far more than twice the price I would expect to pay for this item when comparing it with the price of an economy set of tri-ply, induction compatible cookware (which can now be found for around $150).

Sooner or later a competitor will challenge this manufacturer's monopoly and prices will fall. Until then it merits a very reluctant overall score of 4 stars. Were it not for my "special" items of cookware, this would warrant 2 stars.

This interface disk worked great when boiling water in my NON-magnetic tea kettle... And it DOES let you use just about ANY pot or pan you own on an induction cooktop. BUT, for it's simple design and manufacturing, the price is DOUBLE what it should be !!!!!! Go ahead, bite the bullet.. what else can you do to be able to use your existing pots and pans ?? By the way, 4 cups of water boiled 30 seconds FASTER using this AND the Burton induction cooktop, than it did on my smooth glass cooktop on high ! I just HAD TO compare the two !!!!

Honest reviews on Max Burton 6010 8-Inch Induction Interface Disk with Heat-Proof

I thought this interface disk would be a nice adjunct to the old pans, especially popcorn popper that wouldn't work on the new induction oven. I was wrong! Just today, I tried it for the first time on popcorn. When the "test" kernels weren't popping, I checked the temperature of the bottom of the pan. It was MUCH too low. Then I checked the induction plate temperature with both a digital probe as well as infrared temperature. Way Low! I switched to a regular induction pot and the temperature zoomed right up and the popcorn was done promptly. In order to shake the pot and not scratch the glass top surface, I placed a paper towel underneath during cooking. While it browned a bit it worked like a charm and I was able to shake the pan on the cook top without it scratching.

I hope you read this and NOT buy this product! It was a waste of money!

I was really looking forward to purchasing an induction disk so that i could continue to use my non-induction ready pans on my new Kenmore Elite slide in stove. First use, the stove's induction cooktop instantly recognized the disk's magnetic characteristics and kicked right in. A few seconds later the stove went into error mode and the stove completely shut down and would not respond while the disk remained on the burner. The error code would not clear while the disk was on the stove. Once I removed the disk and replaced it with a magnetic pan, the error code went away and the stove resumed to work like a charm. I repeated the process several times. Each time the disk sent the stove into a error mode. Previously and since, the stove works great with all other magnetic fry pans and pots. I don't know why I had a problem with this disk. Perhaps other stoves would not experience the same difficulties.

Cheap Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan, Silver

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $449.00
Sale Price: $445.00
Today's Bonus: 1% Off

I had a great floor fan with remote for several years and was very happy with it, but, alas, it died. I purchased this Dyson, because I have been pleased with their vacuum cleaners. And it is a technological marvel.

However, there are a few things perspective buyers should know: it is called an "Air Multiplier" not a "Fan" per se. The difference is there are no blades to move the air. Dyson says this "eliminates the "choppiness" from fan blades". The best way to describe the difference in air movement is with a regular fan you feel the air being "fanned" upon you, with the Dyson Air Multiplier you feel the air just blowing on you. Imagine the difference between someone "fanning" you with a leafy palm branch vs. just blowing air on you). I have come to realize that I prefer the "choppiness" of fan blades because the more the air is agitated

as it is augmented, the more your skin feels the air currents and the better for the evaporation of sweat and the disipation of heat. But that's just my opinion on the best cooling air movements. It is quieter at lower speeds, but noisy (like a jet engine whine) at top speeds. The remote is very small and has only three buttons, one for on/off; one for variable fan speeds (just up or down, no pre-set low, med, high); and one to oscillate. (My old fan's remote was larger and included a temperature gauge to tell you the room's temperature and it also had a light for night use). But the worst design flaw in this product is that the remote's receiving sensor is in the base of the unit(right down on the floor). So, because I have a rather high bed, I have to sit up in bed and aim the remote down towards the floof to adjust the speed or turn the unit on of off, etc. That really seems to me to be a glaring design flaw in a fan that costs over $350 dollars.

BOTTOM LINE: It's not a FAN, it's an "Air Multiplier", that blows on you instead of fanning you. I would

recommend waiting until they improve the design of the remote control.

I couldn't decide between the Dyson Pedestal fan and the Tower Fan, so I went ahead and bought both to compare. Yes we kept both as well.

The Tower fan is great for the Living Room or family room for it stays more compact (slim and low profile) and spreads the air less concentrated on one area.(high and low)There is no adjustments that can be made on this fan, meaning no tilting or bringing the unit up and down. What you see it what you get.

The Pedestal fan is great for our bedroom; we have a really high bed. At the highest point of the pedestal fan it's even to where we lay. Since the Fan is more like a standard oscillating fan, the air is more concentrated to one area, so at night we through it on medium to low and let it keep us cool at night. The pedestal fan can be adjusted to the height by simply pushing it down or pulling up on the actually circle part of the fan. (The frame tube extends or compresses very handy and fast to do) Also this fan has a tilt. (The circle head part can be aimed where you want it) This fan is a little bulkier needs more room then the tower fan. (Due to the adjustments and the diameter or the circle part when oscillating)

On both models the High setting does a lot of air, at a louder noise. We joke about it and say the jet is taking off, for the fan does lean back a little when we turn the knob up. Set up of both fans is quick and very easy

The remotes are very handy and awesome. To store the remote it's a magnet in the fan and in the remote, so just lay the remote on the fan and it sticks

Overall Great Fans, if you can get over the Price of a $450 fan, you will be happy with it. They do have a 2 year warranty with Dyson, so that is nice. Our fans always break after 1 summer; these fans have been going strong for 1 year now, still no problems.

Both fans have the same amount of air coming through them on high settings, so there no difference in power between the two models.

Despite the ridiculous price, any serious fan-atic will appreciate this insanely simple device. The breeze is adjustable, the white noise is perfect for sleeping, and it just feels cool to own one. In pictures it looks like a bulky, heavy piece of equipment, but it's actually more plastic than metal, making it very lightweight (a plus from a mobility standpoint, a questionable minus from a structural standpoint). But I am pleased with everything about it. It it were 200 bucks I'd have one in every room.

Honest reviews on Dyson AM03 Pedestal Fan, Silver

The Dyson AM03 is a beautifully designed, yet poorly engineered product. One would think for $450 retail (and even for $299 on sale), that the fan would have outstanding engineering. The designers did their job, the engineers failed to consider at least one important factor in inventing a portable fan. Fans need not only cool, but should not raise the ambient noise level in a room so high that persons must raise their voices to be heard over the fan. On high the fan sounds like a jet liner taking off.

I love the look of the fan, and I would not trade my Dyson Vacuum cleaner for any other brand. But, unlike my vacuum cleaner which is designed to suck in a good way; the AM03 does so in a bad way.

The Amazon experience and the folks Buy Happier could not be any better. I am completely pleased with the buying experience. The product, however, fails to measure up.

I bought this fan on a bit of a whim. I live in San Francisco so it never gets incredibly hot but a fan is a welcome addition when we do have warmer days. So far this fan has performed better than I expected. The fan is definitely expensive but is easy to see where your money went. The unboxing reminded me of buying a Mac computer. It was elegantly packaged, concise and easy to understand. Putting the unit together took less than 5 minutes and has great fit and finish (like you would expect from a $300 fan).

It has a nice industrial feel with the plastic and aluminum housing. The weight is light enough to be portable but also sturdy enough to hold the fan in place on max speed. The fan has many speed settings and can be set easily by the remote or the actual base. As far as noise on normal settings its relatively quiet, but if you do turn it all the way up the swoosh of the air is audible. To give you an idea if I turn the fan to max and stand about 10-12 feet away it generates around 8-9db of white noise (my flat with windows open is at 51db and the fan at full was 59).

So one question might be can you tell a difference with this choppy air claim, and to be honest I really can't. It may feel a bit softer but that could be placebo. It will generate a good amount of air though.

The fan itself is easy to adjust, less obtrusive than a traditional fan and unless you step in front of the air flow path you wouldn't even know its on. I personally like the fact that when in operation only a circle around the power button faintly glows blue.

If you like minimalist, don't want your view blocked, or enjoy "mac" style engineering this probably is a safe bet for you.

Just as an FYI the power cord termination has a fuse built in so it might be wise to get a spare or at least be aware of it if your fan stops working.

This is the second Trim Kit I have purchased. (Left the first one in previous house). The instructions for assembly are bad and difficult to follow. Just pictures with no written instructions. Worst part is the poor quality of screws for assembly. They are cheaply made and threads easily stripped during installation. It was, again, as with the first kit I purchased, a very frustrating experience to assemble.

Dealing with Amazon, through whom I made the purchase, was a good experience.

Yes, the instructions are a joke. After reading them several times and studying the the diagrams, I did manage to get the thing put together. All told, it took me about 2 and half hours. Luckily, I did not have a problem with any of the screws as mentioned in other reviews. My biggest fear was I would run out of them, but as it turned out, there were a few extra included. When I finished installing the fire screen, I could not get it to close all the way. I have about a 3 inch gap in the middle between the two screens where they are supposed to close. Seems the hardware that holds the two curtain rods in the middle is in the way. No big deal though as it still looks pretty good left partially open. You know, I'm still scratching my head whether it's a design flaw or if I'm the one whose flawed. Anyways, as mentioned by most other reviewers, the directions were not much help in solving the problem.

The finished trim kit is very nice looking and frames my fireplace perfectly. Think of a picture frame surrounding a painting. It really does make a positive difference. It also hides the fireplace insert somewhat and I think makes it look more like a real wood fire.

The trim frame is well made of heavy steel and painted flat black. My fireplace opening measures 35 inches wide by 28 inches high framed in by a one inch piece of metal on the top and sides. As luck would have it, the trim kit just made the height limit at about 28 and and a half inches and fit the width perfectly with the trim kit extended to 36 inches. This allowed the trim kit to frame my fireplace opening perfectly without covering any of my "one of a kind" decorative tiles.

If I didn't need to have a perfect fit to frame in my fireplace, I would have certainly opted out for a less expensive fireplace screen or glass door set. You should too.

Update: After studying the mechanics of the closing mechanism for a couple of weeks, I finnally solved the problem and now I can close both screens completely in the middle. I now intend on leaving the screen fully closed as it really does look better this way. Says something about the terrible directions that come with the trim package.

Well-constructed & does what it's designed to do, but it took me 6 hours to assemble and install this fireplace frame. The problem is mostly due to shortcomings in the instructions.

First, there are practically no instructions at all; it's follow the pictures . . . if your eyesight is good enough. Do not attempt this if you are spatially challenged, a novice at do-it-yourself projects, or lack sufficient lighting.

Second, the baggy of tiny black screws contains a surprise. Those screws all look much alike, but two of them are definitely not the same as the rest. Those two have have larger threads; if used in the wrong place, they could easily strip a pre-drilled hole (as an earlier reviewer may have done). Unfortunately, there is no warning note and those two screws are not called for until late in the process when it is time to fasten the frame bracket to the fireplace insert. By then, I had unwittingly used one of those two oddballs in the wrong place. I discovered the problem because none of the regular screws would grip the larger holes in the insert brackets. After unsuccessfully searching all packaging for two larger screws, I dumped the entire baggy of screws onto a white plate under good light and finally noticed one screw that looked a little different. If I had unwittingly used both of those oddballs, I would still be scratching my head & cussing Dimplex. Going back over previous steps, I located the first oddball screw and removed it; whew, that hole was not stripped. I gently re-did that step with a regular-size screw & a prayer.

Third, there is only one way to properly install the chain-link curtain . . . but 47 wrong ways. I counted. The pictures are little help; they show the objective, not the process. It takes ingenuity, persistence, and luck. Warning, do not let either rod slip out of place once installed or you'll be in recovery mode. And that leads to:

Fourth, there is no part . . . seriously . . . no part included to hold those curtain rods in place. Normal operation of the curtain can and will shuck those rods out of their brackets and you'll be in recovery mode once again. Either do what I did install the curtains & rods, then immediately wind some wire tightly around the straight ends of the rods & fix it in place with super glue. Or, if you're a patient person, visit a hardware store to buy two little "keepers" for the straight ends of those rods. And some super glue.

Three stars to match the three hairs that I have left after assembling and installing this fireplace frame. It sure does look great, though, and fortunately my wife thinks bald is sexy.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DFI23TRIMX Expandable Trim Kit for Electric Fireplace Insert

We live in southern California so an open face fireplace is a waste of energy, not only that it is most places. We converted to gas logs that was no better we had to open a door or window to make it draw air correctly, if we did not the gas fumes would chase everyone out of the room. The electric flames look great, it even heats a little or will take the chill off the air( all we need). Best of all the fireplace is now blocked off on the roof and blocked in the flue, no more pasive heat loss, as dampers allow a lot of cold air in when there is no fire. I love this fireplace. I am buying the trim kit. We have solar panels so the heat is free! I am a contractor so it was easier for me to assemble. Otherwise you need to be a very handy person.

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit hesitant to attempt to put this thing together by myself. However, hubby is out of town and I couldn't stand to see the box just sitting there. I decided to give it a try and approached it with a positive attitude and a sense of humor.

First I went through the screws and pulled out the two that were different from the others. (I saw this on a previous review).

The instructions are really just a drawing of how to put it together. I decided to use the French ones so I could claim I was bilingual for the morning. It really went together very easily, the pieces fit together just as labeled although I did have to back some screws out a few times and reposition them. No biggie.

The two different screws came in at the very end when you attach the trim kit to the Dimplex fireplace. Those are the only screws that will work there, so make sure you separate them out. They are the last two screws you need to put in.

As per a previous review, my screen will not meet in the middle and I can't really figure out why. They said they were able to fix theirs so I may contact them and ask how.

All in all, it took me a little over an hour. It looks really nice, but I do think it's a bit pricey for the quality. I would put the unit and trim kit in a main room (living room or dining room) but it's looks great in our guest room.

This is a very nice steamer. I called the manufacturer with two questions: (1) the steamer makes a pumping sound, and I was told this was normal. Secondly, the steamer put out water instead of steam on one occasion. I was told to hold the steamer either high or low to get out the standing water. I held the steamer high and the water went down the hose and steam came out. I was told by the manufacturer that this model is one of their older models. The steamer hangs on the wall in my closet, and I use it everyday. I am very happy with the steamer.

There is most obviously a lot of money to be made off of people who are just convinced that you always get what you pay for... in this case, four hundred bucks just HAS to result in amazing comfort at mere pennies a day to operate. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news... well, no, that's not exactly correct... I actually get a kick out of debunking these stupid things... but, this heater is not magical. There isn't a little leprechaun or genie inside of it that spits out heat for nothing. And yet, this is what the seller would have you believe. Let's take a look at their product description line by line:

"The Solar Comfort has lower operating and maintenance costs." Compared to what? This is a throwaway line. Since there is no qualifying statement it is meaningless. Calling it "Solar" is stupid too, by the way.

"There is only one moving part, the fan motor, and is equipped with quality trouble free controls." They toss this out there as if this is a big deal. It isn't. Most electric space heaters have one moving part: Of course it's the fan. Some electric space heaters have zero moving parts. Does that make them better than this one? And most electric space heaters have the same type of controls that this one does. Whoop dee doo.

"There are no burners to rust, corrode or adjust; no pilot light to waste energy." This is really comparing apples to oranges. It's true. There are no burners or pilot lights with this unit. But it isn't going to heat your whole house like a traditional furnace does, either. As a side note: Furnace and boiler manufacturers quit using pilot lights a couple of decades back.

"Safe, clean, long-life infrared lamps provide the heat energy and are replaced easily and inexpensively. (Average lamp life is 5000+ hours or approximately 3-5 years)." They say this like it's an advantage or something. Light bulbs burn out. In my book that's a nuisance. The heating elements in traditional (and vastly cheaper) electric space heaters almost never burn out. Light bulb life is drastically reduced by vibration and since this heater is portable (and has "one moving part"), the notion that you are going to get 5000+ hours per bulb is ridiculous.

"The Solar Comfort is constructed of lifetime metals, copper, galvanized steel and aluminum." Again, big deal... so is just about anything else out there. I mean, seriously, what else are you going to construct a heater out of? Tissue paper?

"The Solar Comfort provides even heat distribution and warmer floors. The Solar Comfort thermostatically controls, circulates and recycles heated air at the floor for maximum use and comfort. The floor to ceiling temperature differential is minor." This is utter nonsense and implies that it defies the laws of physics. Warm air rises. Cool air settles to the floor. I guess if you left the dinky little fan on you might get a tiny bit less temperature deviation between floor and ceiling but you sacrifice electricity (to drive the fan) to get that done.

"Solar Comfort zone heating does not remove humidity from the air, it actually helps to maintain humidity levels. Water does not readily condense on windows as with conventional systems. Even heating and humidity provide more comfort at lower heat settings with less static electricity." Total BS. I mean it: These are pure lies. No heater can remove humidity from the air. Winter air is drier than summer air and that's just a fact of life on planet Earth. Dehumidification can only be accomplished by chilling air below its dew point. You see this when water forms on the outside of a glass of ice water. It's why you use coasters. Heating air NEVER lowers humidity. Oh yeah, the only type of heater that could possibly cause condensation on windows would be a "ventless" gas heater. That's because one of the products of combustion (with any fossil fuel) is water vapor. Most gas (or oil) fired heating appliances are vented. This means that all of the combustion gases (including water vapor) are vented to the outdoors. Static electricity is a function of lower humidity levels that, as mentioned, are just part of winter weather. The Solar Comfort space heater has ZERO effect on humidity. It can't do anything else.

"As the Solar Comfort operates, you will notice that its heating ability does not depend on a high-speed flow of air. Instead, its gentle airflow promotes more effective heat mixing action and air stability at the floor. Soft heat." First of all, there is no such thing as "soft heat." When marketing people make up crap like this it's because they think you are stupid and will swallow anything they feed you. As for the rest of it: No, its heating ability has zero to do with air flow. The same amount of heat is produced regardless of air speed. They do, however, have to drive the air very slowly because so little heat is being produced. If they drove the air faster it would seem cooler (even though the same heat is there) and that's not a very good feature. So they drive the air very slowly so that the dinky heat output feels warm.

"The Solar Comfort does not burn, dry out or otherwise pollute the air with impurities. This protects the humidity level and air quality important to health and breathing comfort." Other than the aforementioned "ventless" gas heaters, NO heater pollutes the air with impurities. And NO heater burns air. You can't. Air isn't a fuel. It's an oxidizer which means that it is needed for fuels to burn. But you can't burn air. It simply isn't possible. And again, as previously mentioned, you can't affect humidity levels with heat.

So that's it. Those are their "selling points." Pretty impressive BS, right?

Here's the deal: This heater isn't any better at heating a space than any other (significantly cheaper) electric space heater. You get to heat one room in your house with this thing. That's it: One room. So in order to get the so-called savings you have to live like a peasant in some third world people's paradise and let the rest of your house freeze. This is the United States of America! If you have to live like that to save a few bucks on utilities then maybe you have more house than you can afford. And if you want to shell out several hundred bucks for a 1500 watt heater well, that's your business. Just don't say you weren't warned.

The first frother I received was defective. The replacement works perfectly. I love the clean design and heavy stainless steel construction. A choice of two whisks allows for either a little or a lot of froth, and it produces it quickly either hot or cold. If you choose to heat the milk, it heats it gently. The appliance is easy to clean with a non-stick interior and included brush.

UPDATE: 2/22/13 Secura, Amazon, and Lafroise are ALL amazing! After posting my initial review, Amazon was willing to make an exception and accept my return, although I was outside the return period. In the meanwhile, I had contacted Secura, the manufacturer. They responded within hours and offered to send me a replacement immediately, with a prepaid label to return my unit at my convenience. Kelly and the customer care team at Secura were courteous, professional, and very helpful. Next thing I knew I got a message from Lafroise telling me the unit had a 2 year warranty and to return it to them for replacement. Well, you cannot ask for better customer service.

I don't think you could go wrong buying this product. I am unsure what went wrong with my unit, but sometimes things happen. I am impressed and happy that the Manufacturer, the retailer, and Amazon ALL stood by their product and went the extra mile to make it right. Secura offers a two year warranty--double most others. Can't wait for my replacement...miss my soy lattes!

I looked over many sets on-line and I chose this one based on looks and certainly on the weight of the set. If you look at the other sets, most of them weigh much less; some even one-half of what this weighs. My last set was much cheaper and it showed after time.... the shovel could bend at the shovel end, etc. I was concerned buying a tool set on line without seeing and feeling it. I was certainly pleased when this one arrived and I knew instantly that it would hold up for a lifetime. It is heavy duty. Very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommend. Looks great!

This one is recommended for bathrooms (Guessing that means smaller rooms that are closed while occupied.) Certainly doesn't have the heat output that the larger units do, but more than adequate for the average bathroom. It would easily heat a medium size bedroom.

I would never know this heater was made in China. The build quality is standard appliance grade--like a washing machine or dryer. I have been using it for a year now and it still works fine. No thermostadt--it's just on or off. Efficient. Good for a bathroom, bedroom, etc.

The 1 star is for the price, not product...

This product has been available for years. Recently it has been difficut to find in local stores. It's perfect for dorm or desk use...tea, instant coffe, soup, oatmeal, etc.

However, it can be purchased @ BB&B for $19 and the %20 coupon discounts it to about $17 with tax. The shipping was waived because I ordered it from the store.

It's a nice product, but Amazon having the best price with shipping at $29 is close to double what you can get it for. The other on-line vendor prices are even worse! I have gotten some great buys from Amazon, but this is not one of them.

The Pros -This thing delivers the heat! I live in a 980 sq. ft. mobile home with an open living room and kitchen. Even during the coldest months this unit kept me warm during power failures. The heat even traveled to the farthest bedroom, not heating it to the fullest, but keeping away the chill. It runs silently.

The Cons -It does not run for the 12 hours, as stated on the outer carton. I suppose if you heated a very small bathroom it would regulate itself to the full 12 hours. I have to refill the tank every four hours. Since the unit is rather heavy and bulky it's difficult to carry it outside for refueling. It's even heavier on the return trip because of the full tank of kerosene. The carrying handle doesn't feel secure enough to haul that weight.

Unless you run the tank completely dry, this unit flares up and sends a cloud of black smoke into the room during shutdown. A kerosene-stink will linger for half an hour. It has to be taken apart and cleaned every few days to remove the carbon build-up on the wick. I have not yet been successful at removing all that carbon.

A kerosene heater is not for wimps or for those who won't follow safety instructions. It can be dangerous.

I wouldn't recommend this product for someone looking to run it all winter long to cut down on their heating bill.

I would, however, recommend it for someone wishing to have an optional heating source available during emergencies. If the only choices are to freeze or find another heating source, this will unit will do the job well.

I believe the Cons (as stated) are typical of all portable kerosene heaters, so I will not fault this unit in those areas. With the exception of the misleading "runs for up to 12 hours", this unit does what it's supposed to do. That's why I give it five stars.

I've had this heater for just less than four weeks now. In the interest of disclosure, I'm certainly not an expert, and this is my second kerosene heater I also have a dyna-glo 23k BTU that I've been using happily for about a year and a half.

I was very excited to get this smaller 10k heater since the worst of the winter is about over in my area, and the Dyna-Glo is too much when the outside temp reaches forty or so. The item came double boxed and intact great shipping and packing from Amazon as usual.

I put it together (it was easy and the instructions were simple) and then went to carry it downstairs and nearly dropped it from the top steps because the handle fell out this is definitely my fault, and luckily I hadn't filled it yet and had fast enough reflex to grab it before it tumbled down. Since then I've bent the handle inwards so that it fits a bit tighter and hopefully that won't happen again. However, the handle bends considerably when the unit is picked up, especially with a full tank, and needs to occasionally be bent back into place so that it can swing freely. I think it needs a heavier gauge handle to be moved around safely. It probably goes without saying for any kero heater, but definitely don't try carrying this while it's lit.

After lighting it the first time, I noticed no visible smoke, but it had a sooty odor not the normal mild kerosene odor I noticed with my other heater from time to time. I looked at the book which said an initial odor was normal until the first dry burn. So I lived with it, using it on and off for about a week until I felt it was ready to burn dry. After (double) burning it dry the real problems began. The burner assembly would no longer burn red to the top, the blue flames were obviously way too low while the adjustment was as high as it would go, the sooty odor got worse, and most times after lighting it, the flame would just flicker in a small (two-inches or so) part of the wick. Frustrated I'd put it out and try to relight it again and again. After a few days of this, I got a flame going, and tried to dry burn it again, then again. After dry burning it, the wick was soft on the top, and stiff everywhere else. I tried pinching it with pliers, flexing it around with my fingers, and dry burning it again. The result was no better. The more I tried the worse it got.

Today I put in a new wick, and everything is back to normal ... and NO SMELL at all and the heat output is considerably better than even the first time I fired it up. I'll edit this later if the problem returns (and bump it up one star if it doesn't), but I believe that the manufacturer put a poor quality wick, trying to save a few pennies, so the unit was not getting hot enough to burn clean and odorless. A wick should last about a year for most people, not less than a month (assuming it was ever good at all). But hopefully this solves the problem and saves someone else the same frustration that I had.

Normal burn time on a tank is probably around fourteen hours as others have mentioned. The wall guards do not add any stability and are an annoyance if you don't actually put it near a wall, so I took them off since I keep it in the middle of the room I'm trying to heat. The manufacturer needs to add a small wire door to the front grill to facilitate easier match lighting I had to buy the long eleven inch matches to reach down in there (break of the charred end and relight them with a lighter to make them last longer).

In summary, I've not been happy with the heater for the short time I've had it. If the whole problem actually was the wick and not some design problem, I'm sure I'll be content with this unit for many years.

Edit 03/29/09: After using this an additional two weeks I can confirm that the new wick made all the difference. So if you bought this and are having smell or heat output problems, try a new wick. I'm using a Kero World 91009. I've also decided not to bump this up one star as promised. After comparing the two wicks I can see difference in construction and I feel that Sengoku's QA could and should have seen the difference as well. -* for bad QA and -* for all the time I had to spend troubleshooting because of it.

I'm a young kerosene lamp collector but never encountered an unboxed Kerosene heater before. Decided to give it a try this winter since many gas stations here in Philly dispense undyed and untaxed 1-K cheaply ($2.80 in October 2009) and heating bills last few years are $200/month on average for our well insulated house. After reading reviews around, I was pretty settled on this omni-radiant design, but had reservations with the actual burning time due to short wick per this site and Mile Stair's site (highly recommended).

Then I had a chance to pick one up several weeks ago. Only $10 as the seller was moving so I figured there's little to loose. It's a 2005 run in like new condition. While it's the first time I got my hands on a kero heater, mechanically there is really no difference between it and any center draft lamps, save everything is in bigger size! Lighted it up easily and enjoy the cheap heat every since.

Two things I'd like to elaborate on this heater:

1. It burns 15 hours on a single fill when the outside is in 40s and 50s and my 600 sqft second level is toasty 75-78 degrees with a slightly crack window!

Update on Dec. 1, 2009: The kerosene gauge on the heater must be designed for trial lawyers, not actual usage. If one religiously follow the gauge from "F" to "E", s/he may get 7 hours out of "one full tank" at most. Nowadays I fill it well into the red zone on the gauge and burn it down another 3-4 hours after "E" mark. This way I can easily get 15 hours. In case you wonder, the record time I timed is almost 19 hours (!) on Low setting before kerosene completely runs out and it starts to smell due to dry burn.

2. I start and extinguish the heater in the garage so there is no smell in the house. The heater is delightfully light-weight for a grown man to carry around very carefully. In comparison, my small 14-candlelight kerosene lamp gives off detectable smell. Of course the burn efficiency is different purposefully.

Maybe I'm lucky but this thing is doing everything right. This winter I will save hundreds of dollars easy with this baby.

I've been shopping at Amazon.com since its inception. This is the first time I'm posting a product review even though I did not purchase through the site. Need I say more on what kind of recommendation I'm giving?!

Updated on 10/1/2010: Fall is here and I'm looking forward to putting the heater into another winter of service. In the unusually cold and snow record setting 2009-2010 Philly winter, my total kerosene cost is mere $172, which is less than my monthly heating bill in the previous winters!

Honest reviews on Sengoku OR-77 HeatMate Omni-Radiant 10,000-BTU Portable Kerosene

Calamity Jane has it right I can verify. I purchased this unit for backup in my cabin in case the generator failed and it happened. We were in an uninsulated cabin. 5 big guys without a lot of clothing frankly, in the dead of winter near Bismarck North Dakota. Just back from hunting and all our clothes were soaked. Didn't look good but this little puppy came through in a pinch. No problems lighting, and it heated the 150 sq feet cabin in a flash went all night and dried our clothes. Great when you need it.

I took reviewer Matt's advice to replace the factory wick and got great results; much less fumes and hotter temp. I wouldn't have thought wicks could be so different in performance but the improvement was amazing. A second heater I bought about 2 years later had a good wick with no problems.

The original wick wasn't held very firmly and using the trip switch to shut down the heater resulted in the wick getting jarred lower in the height control assembly so it wouldn't burn at full heat until it was repositioned. I just held the knob while depressing the trip switch and gently lowered the wick. The new wick is held firmly with no problems.

I left off the upper wire cage-guard when assembling and shortened the horizontal ends of the carry handle and bent it more to be snug against the top pan and reinstalled it. Leaving the top guard off allows cooking on the top pan, which gets to around 275F (350F now with new wick) or setting my aspen thermoelectric fan on it to blow the heat around the room instead of letting it rise straight up to the ceiling. (I highly recommend that fan if you use this heater very often to greatly increase its effectiveness--Really expensive now though.)

I use 1.75 liter liquor bottles with a plug-in pour spout to fill this heater, the spout stops flow when the level gets high and I can fill while the heater is burning if I shield the plastic bottle from the heat. Sure beats funnels.

3.5 liters fills the tank with the wick in it. I get about 13 hours from a tankfull; 5 gallons of kero gave 74-hrs(3-days) burn time. Using 135,000 btu/gal calculates to 9,122 btu/hr.

For newbs:

-wait 30 mins after fueling from dry for wick to wick up fuel before lighting

-light and extinguish in an unoccupied area because it fumes at these times

-keep yellow flame to a minimum so lower the wick a notch or three as it heats up and the flame grows

-even out flame by sliding burner with spring/handle toward high flame area

-leave a bit of ventilation for the oxygen it uses, 1/2 inch under-door gaps seem good but my old house probably has lots of little air leaks

-dry burn every three days or so (burn until it's out of fuel and goes out then raise wick to max, wait 30 mins and relight and let burn out again to remove tar from wick

-you should barely be able to smell this heater when it's working properly, if your eyes sting something's wrong and long term it's unhealthy to breath fumes

Amba Q-2033 Quadro 33 Inch Electric Towel Warmer With Quick. Even Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this about three years ago. Called with a question and got the answer from the first person who picked up. They still sell accessories and parts. Still answer questions etc.

The product itself is also very nice, reliable and well thought out. We have it installed with a timer so it is not going all day and all night. It is very reliable. Also, it is unique in that it can be mounted in either direction horizontally or vertically. Amba says you can mount it at any angle, though I do not know why you would want to do that.

I would have given it 5 starts only, it does have gaps and cannot heat the whole towel evenly like the glass ones can.

Best Sun Cloud Solar Comfort KD8000 Portable Infrared Heater, Rich Deals

Customer Ratings:

My house is a small one, about 800 square feet of space. I live in upstate New York, just east of Lake Ontario, and when it's not snowing off the lake, it's cold, just the same. Winters are usually not mild ones. My house is set to be heated with electric baseboard heat, and I have a Timberline fireplace insert that will heat the whole house should I want to use wood. About six years ago, I bought a 1500 watt Sun Cloud zone heater, which is rated for up to 800 square feet of space. It is thermostat controlled and uses four 375 watt infrared bulbs to provide the heat. The bulbs heat many flagella like tubes through which the heated air is blown and out into the room. It looks much like every other similar heater being sold these days, but the inner shell is metal and the outer shell is wood (oak, cherry or mahogany). What makes this heater so much better than other designs is that you don't have to send it back to the manufacturer for repairs. Anything that might go wrong can easily be fixed locally if necessary. The bulbs can be found at your local electric store, and so can the thermostat or blower. Parts are simple, not complex, and your local handyman can repair it easily! I have been using this heater for all the cold months that I have owned it, and if the outside temperature stays about 30 degrees, the house never gets chilly. Anything below 30 degrees will drop the temp to say 67 degrees, but I just augment the house temp with my baseboard heat and everything is toasty. Since the unit is thermostatically controlled, it cycles on and off as necessary, but even if it ran all night and day, it would only use 1.5 kilowatt/hours of electricity per hour, times 24 hours which equals 36 kilowatt hours of electricity per day! Multiply that by your local electricity rate (say 10 cents per kilowatt hour of usage), and you can readily see that it cannot cost more to use than $3.60 per day! As I said, the thermostat allows it to cycle on and off, so for most people, it will cost less than $3.60 per day to use. I am so happy with my unit that I bought two more units to augment my mother's home, which has more than double the floor space that my home has. She heats with oil and uses from 3 to 5 gallons per day in the winter months. With oil prices soaring, she should save money using Sun Cloud.

I purchased this heater to supplement the heat from my furnace. So far it has been great. I don't know yet how it will effect my gas & electric bill but judging by how infrequently my furnace kicks on it should do wonders for my gas bill. It's quiet, I hardly even notice it's on. Just like they advertise, the outside doesn't get too hot to touch. It looks great in my living room, like just another piece of furniture. I definitely made a good decision buying this.
