This is a very nice fireplace and looks awesome in our living room. When it is on, the view is almost real and provides a comfortable heat without noise. It took me only about an hour to set it up and I just added a glass sheet on top to protect the surface.
I highly recommend it.

King Electrical 1000-Watt Electric Forced-Air Wall Heater #W2410 Reviews
These heaters are effective. Yes, you can't place anything in front of them, but unlike the long skinny baseboard heaters, they don't take up so much wall space. They are a little noisy, but they don't have to be on for very long.
My electrician installed this wall heater and wired it with 220 wiring and I turned it on expecting this forced air heater to heat my 90 cubic ft shower area. After waiting for some 5 minutes for the expected heat my electrician who had his hand near the discharge area exclaimed, " my dog puts out more heat panting than that". I was very disappointed and ask him to try it with 110 wiring. The results were the same. If I stood with my bare feet below the warm air discharge I have to admit my toes were toasty.
I was surprised that Amazon would carry a product of such low quality since I have been very satisfied with the many products I have purchased in the past.

Item was not what I was expecting. The stain color is off from the picture and it even may be that the "wood grain" is actually a sticker, not even veneer. Screws do not hold up well in shipment, tearing insert from mantel. I would recommend seeing this item in person before purchase and picking up item in store as opposed to shipping.We installed this stove in our log cabin as a secondary heat source. It has performed great. The thermostat control really make this stove a great deal. It will keep the cabin at an even temperature with no work from us. This is a quality stove and it looks like it was built for the cabin!

Nice little heater.
Seems pretty well made, espicially for the price.
I would recommend this for a small room or bathroom.
It puts out some heat!

Mr. Heater MRHF273400 Buddy Portable LP Gas Heater Review
This heater is excellent and the perfect fit, for a certain set of requirements.
If you have electricity, use an electric heater. Don't bother with the hassel of propane. The cost isn't too different and the hassel factor is much higher than electricity.
I also don't recommend using the small canisters. That's an inconvinient way to go as well.
BUT. If you don't have power and need a cheap, safe heat source that you can run while you sleep, this is the best one made. Buy the 12' hose, place a 20lb propane tank outside, and run this heater all night with just a small crack in a window or door (just in case!). You will get > 100 hours of heat out of a tank of propane! Less than a buck to run it all night.
Highly recommended under the right circumstances.
Also, even in very cold weather, I leave about 6" of window open to keep the condensation to a minimum.
Some observations:
1. Outside at your campsite, it is easy to light and carry around, and can be a great radiant heater to warm your hands and face on a cold morning without the fuss of building a fire. Inside a five to six person tent, it warmed the space quite nicely on the high setting. In a tent, I would not take a chance to burn it without keeping at least an open space around it and an open eye on it. While the front has a steel grille to shield the user from direct contact with the burning surface, contact with the grille and top of the unit by skin or manmade materials can result in burns or melted items.
2. The heater is PORTABLE, and portability is your friend. It is very easy to pack or carry anywhere. This is a VERY COMPACT unit that will go nearly anywhere. However, It will NOT heat a large unenclosed space, and it is not a blast furnace.
3. One interesting thing that happens when you burn the heater for any length of time in a cool area is that moisture condenses on the outside of the metallic disposable propane cylinder. The condensation eventually turns to frost and if you sit the heater on top of something that can be damaged by water, you definitely want to put an absorbent cloth under the tank to catch any drops of water when it starts to condense or as the frost melts.
4. Since this is an unvented heater, products of combustion such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and some slight odor are released into the heated space; this is common with all such heaters. Adequate oxygen must also be supplied to facilitate burning as well as to sustain life. The low oxygen shutoff is a good safety feature. People with sensitivity to odors or products of combustion would not appreciate this; I have one such person in my household and he has not enjoyed the smell.
5. There is an open flame in the form of the pilot light which sits just in front of the surface of the ceramic plate seen in the picture. The pilot ignites the gas on the surface of the ceramic plate; that is what causes the plate to glow orange. The pilot is lighted by a built-in sparker. I have found the pilot to be harder to light with a propane extension hose attached than with the disposable cylinder on board.
I have used kerosene heaters, catalytic heaters, electric space heaters. All of them produce heat, but this is the handiest heater I have ever used.

I use this heater when I camp in my trailer, and it works great especially when used in conjunction with a 20-lb. propane tank. If you do use a 20-lb. tank, however, I STRONGLY recommend that you use the fuel filter (around $10 and yes, this is mentioned in the manual) and also that you always close the propane tank shut-off before turning off the Portable Buddy so that all the gas is burned out. Why? I went through two units that started shutting themselves off about a year after purchase before I found out that oily residue starts building up within the heater when the previous two suggestions are not followed. Even when I tried cleaning it out (I did a complete disassembly), it was not successful unless the control unit and the regulator are replaced as well. I did find a lot of oily mess within contol unit area, but couldn't get it all so it's just as easy to replace the entire unit. What happens is that when you turn on the unit, it seems to work; but, as the oily residue works its way up to the flame part, it will start going out on its own the time it takes to go out in my experience was around 1/2 hour. As far as the precautions go, the fuel filter was easy for me to find locally where propane items are sold (farm stores, large sporting goods stores); it is easy to install (it screws into the heater where a 1-lb. bottle would be located and then the hose to the tank screws right into the fuel filter it should last a year). I pick up an extra one once the current one is being used. I'm getting in the habit of shutting off the gas first. I would give this heater 5 stars if they would have explained this malfunction better I ended up talking with tech support before finding out what was actually wrong.Also, even in very cold weather, I leave about 6" of window open to keep the condensation to a minimum.

Once and for all, here is the purpose of fuel filter for this heater. When you use this heater with a remote tank & rubber hose, it is imperative that you always shut the tank off first & let the heater run until it burns off all the fuel in the lines. YOU MUST DO THIS EVERY TIME. If you simply turn the heater knob to the off position, what you are doing is trapping 100 PSI of propane in the rubber hose. When high pressure propane just sits in your rubber hose, it literally causes the rubber to leetch a light oil that is part of the chemical composition of the rubber. If this oil forms and you have the filter on the heater, the filter will catch it and seperate it from the gas. If you do not have the filter, the oil will quickly work its way into the heater & destroy both the regulator & control valve. The heater can be repaired, but these two components will need to be replaced.Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MRHF273400 Buddy Portable LP Gas Heater
This heater is perfect for tent camping in larger tents. It's not too big and pretty stable. We have a large cabin style tent that sleeps 6-8. On our last camping trip to our local Southern California mountains in January 02, the temp at night got down to the mid 30's. Mr. Heater kept us almost too warm, even on the low setting. Our kids ended up sleeping on top of their sleeping bags. The safety features and BTU range were the deciding factors in our purchase. The low oxygen sensor gave us peace of mind(I still purchased a battery operated Carbon Monoxide sensor for the tent for extra precaution)and the BTU range was good. I could not find any other indoor approved heater that warmed us so well. At first I purchased a infer-red heater that attached to a bulk talk. I found too many reasons why not to use it in the tent(No low O2 sensor, no heat shield, and no low setting). Don't chance it. Get an 8 to 12 foot extension hose and a bulk tank. The portable tanks won't last all night. I wouldn't recommend this heater for small tents(not enough space, not enough air volume, and the potential for Carbon Monoxide problems is too great).Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mr. Heater MRHF273400 Buddy Portable LP Gas Heater

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 7-Piece Block Set Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $476.00
Sale Price: $219.00
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

These were a Christmas gift from my parents. I requested these specifically after doing several months of research on knives.
Many knife manufacturers come up with so many different 'lines' for their knives that the consumer has no idea what the hell he's looking at. It took me months to research these knives and determine they were the best value. Why?
Henckels has two major lines: 'Twin' and 'International.' Twin are made in Europe, International are made in China. Within the 'Twin' classification are about five or six different lines, from 'gourmet' to 'pro-s' with a lot in-between, but only two types of blade construction are found within this line!
Basically, when you buy a knife, you're either buying 'forged' steel--a blade produced all from one piece of metal in a multi-step process that requires much skilled labor for every blade--or 'stamped' steel, a mass-production method where the blade is cut from a sheet of cold-rolled steel. Needless to say, forged is better. And anything from China is almost certainly going to be a 'stamped' blade.
But Henckels is spreading two types of blade construction across five or six different brands, each more expensive than the last. They differentiate their knives by more ergonomic handles.
Seriously. That's the difference. This $170 kit contains all but two of the most fundamental cooking knives (what's missing is a slicer/carver, steak knives, and a bread knife). These can easily be added to the kit and still yield a much lower price than the 'full' kits of more expensive lines. It is the absolute cheapest set of FORGED Henckels blades, anywhere. The exact same blade can be purchased with a slightly different handle in the Five Star, Pro-S, and even Four Star II sets (that's right--Henckels made a new line that is much more expensive to replace these and doubled the price. The difference is a metal cap on the handle).
The 'Gourmet' and 'Signature' lines are, frankly, a waste of your time. They are stamped blades.
Henckels' forging method is spectacular and they are a company worthy of your business. But you are a customer who deserves to get the right value. This is the right value. And it's probably discontinued by Henckels now in lieu of the much more expensive Four Star II line, intended to replace these and give them a much better margin on their sales.
After looking through the various Zwilling series, I discovered that there is very little difference between this older model of knife compared to the newest lines out. Here is a breakdown of the differences in the lines:
TWIN Professional `S' full tang, three rivet traditional handle
Four Star original molded handle knife
Four Star II updated version of the four star upscale knife, original molded handle with a metal cap on the end.
TWIN ProfectionFull tang, three rivet design of the poly handle is ergonomic, fitting the grip perfectly.
The new bolster design provides solid, balanced feel giving a full cutting edge.
The blades are the same on all of the above. One is not considered better than the other all have special formulated steel made to Zwilling J.A. Henckels' specifications and all are Friodur® ice-hardened, a process of heating, cooling and re-heating that changes the molecular structure of the blade for optimum no-stain features and an extremely long-lasting edge.
So when you see that the new 7 piece Four Star II set is $299 and the other sets are even more expensive, you can see the value in this $169. I purchased mine at Bed Bath with a 20% and the matching steak knives. It's a sweet deal.
Lastly, do these things cut! I used to have the Henckels International line. There is no comparison between the two. The balance, edge, and sturdiness of these are fantastic.
I purchased a set of J.A. Henckels Four Star knives in 1987, and I am still using them today -a quarter-century later. They have survived two divorces (not my ex's fault; the knives were far sharper than I was), a dozen moves back and forth cross-country, and most important: daily use, week in & week out, in professional kitchens and at home.
When it comes to chef's knives, as with so many other things, you DO get what you pay for, so my advice is simple: Buy the best knives your budget allows for, take the time to learn how to use them* and care for them**, and they will last a lifetime.
*Proper use includes how to hold your knives, the correct strokes for cutting, paring, etc., and the proper cutting surfaces.
**Learn how to keep your knives sharp with stone & steel, how to clean them and how to store them.
J. A. Henckels' knives are an investment well worth the money; they will make cooking far less stressful and a lot more fun for many years to come.
As I told my son the musician -a good knife is like a musical instrument, you have to keep it "in tune" (sharpened) for it to work at its best. A good, sharpened knife can be poetry in motion, for those who like to cook. But it has to be sharpened to stay like that -otherwise, the "never need sharpening" knives would be a better choice. I run my knives through a two-wheel manual sharpener about every 2 or 3 times I use them. I use an electrical knife sharpener about once or twice a year.
The handles on the 4-star can discolor (whiten) if regularly washing in a dishwasher with powdered detergent. I usually wash mine manually, but I will put them in a top rack occasionally, and I use a gel detergent.
This is a great set of knives for those who don't mind sharpening frequently. I hang mine on a magnetic knife holder, I don't care for a block on the countertop. I am a bit envious -there is a Santoku knife in this set that I don't have. Because I have small hands, I use the 6" chef knife instead of the 8". I have the 3" paring knife; the 4" would be a good addition to my set.

After spending weeks going between the Calphalon Katanas, Wustofs classic, and the plethora of Zwilling knives I finally made the decision to purchase this set. I didn't choose the Katanas because they didn't seem to hold an edge very long and it didn't feel that great in my hand.

This set seems to be discontinued, and has been replaced with the Twin Four Star II line of knives. I'm not sure what the difference is the only thing I can tell is the handles on the new II series have a metal cap on the end of them which to me seems merely cosmetic. Regardless, these are some of the best knives I've ever used. Granted, I'm not a chef, and I've never owned anything nicer then a Calphalon knife, but these things are amazing. They feel like a precision tool in your hands, cutting through anything you throw at it smoothly and with ease. I recently visited family for the holidays and had to cook for a week with an inferior brand of knife, and it amazed me how spoiled you get with Henckels knives. I'll never use anything else again!! For $169 these are a great value and I would highly recommend them to everyone considering a good set of knives for their kitchen!!! I'm feel like a chef in the making with these!Saturday, February 8, 2014

I live in a studio apartment with no washer/dryer hookups so a ventless washer/dryer combination was the only option for me. After reading mixed reviews of the Haier 1.8 Cu. Ft. model and not wanting to spring $1500 for an LG, I chose the Edgestar and I am quite satisfied so far. There are many things to love about this appliance: the custom cycle selector is great, the washer cleans very well, the machine is whisper quiet,you can select wash only or dry only, and the water usage is minimal. And then there is the dryer. Yes it takes a long time to dry about 90 minutes for a small load, but if you are patient, clothes come out wrinkle-free and smelling great. I recommend the Edgestar for a single person who does not have to wash big loads frequently. A comforter will wash fine, but I would not try to dry it in a ventless dryer. Plan on 3 hours or more from start-to-finish for towels or a load of jeans.If that works for you, then this is a great purchase.Best Deals on EdgeStar 2.0 Cu. Ft. Ventless Combo Washer/Dryer - White

The heater is all that it said it would be, the only problem I had was it was set for propane gas and after it was connected to a natural gasline, it was malfunctioning but was not obvious why. I stumbled on the fact it was set for propane, I had to remove it from the wall and open the back to find this out but after I set it to natural gas, it worked great.

When I moved back to my original state and the home Dad had owned, he had been converted the house to 'all electric'! With the natural gas lines still intact I bought 5 Kozy World natural gas wall heaters and I need one more. They're Perfect! These units are simple to set low for bed time! I highly recommend these untis for both heating and astetics!Best Deals on Kozy World GWD208 20,000-BTU Vent-Free Dual-Fuel Gas Wall Heater
I bought one of these about a year ago and it died about one month ago. So I ordered a new one just like the old one, so I wouldn't have to change the gas lines to hook it up. Well that worked great, but this unit only worked for about 30 minutes and stopped working all together. All I can say is this is more Chinese junk, where these company's do not care about quality only about quantity.Stay away from Kozy world products.

Buy Auto Sensor Induction Cooktop
I bought the Aroma Induction Cooktop at Costco for $49.99. Up close it looks stylish and feels well built (I don't trust photos). I have a natural gas R366 Wolf at home and this amazing little cooktop will get a pot of water boiling faster.
And I was impressed even more with the ease of clean up. Since the glass doesn't get scorching hot like conventional radiant heat cooktops spilled food will wipe off easily. A big plus.
Another interesting feature...when you turn off the power the cooking stops immediately just like gas.
I'm sold, my next full sized cooktop will be induction.
Initially I was not so sure, but now I totally love it.
It is an extremely fast and a very cool product. We have to use iron & steel vessels, so it can become a very healthy way of cooking ( no more non-stick).
It has different heat settings as well as timer, eg, I boil water, add pasta or rice or egg, put it in the lowest possible heat setting, put the timer on and forget about it :-) It will beep when its ready.
Making Indian tea is the fastest in induction cooker.
We can also take it outside next to a plug point, for cooking outside (camping or parties)
Things I cook in induction cooker:
Rice
Pasta
Tea
eggs
Boiling water for anything
Coffee
Seasoning
Fish Fry
Any curries or sauces, that need to simmer/boil for some time.
steaming veggies (very quick)
Only drawback I can think of is getting some iron cookwares, it comes very cheap in walmart & target for $10.
It heats up super quickly, responds instantaniously to heat changes just as gas does. I have always used cast iron and am super pleased that pieces handed down from my mom and my mother-in-law adapt VERY well to this new way of cooking. I can't believe how quickly the pans heat up. I use the magnet test and am surprised that some of the expensive (wedding gift) stainless cookware will not work, but I have enough that will that I am super, super pleased with this manner of cooking.
I would love to retire to a live-aboard boat and can see that with one induction burner and an oven of some kind my fantastic, gourmet cooking is still possible.
I may not be ready to totally give up a gas grill for outside parties, but this is a truely excellent option.
I am a self-styled gourmet and lover of my own cooking (for the most part!). (Plain, simple, close to the source cooking.)
For the price, I think it's a good start for induction cooking if you're new to it.
I'll start with the cons:
The 1 setting might be a little too hot for simmering certain stuff. I've goat meat boiling at 1 right now and it cycles, just like most induction cookers do. Except at the 1 setting, it doesn't come to a crazy boil just 3 seconds at a soft boil and then 8 seconds at calm.
If you've read reviews on amazon about induction cookware, you'll know they do make noise. This is like the fridge noise. It's the fan. I find the noise was higher when i was using the frying pan but a lot less now with the stockpot. The intensity also decreases at lower power levels. The quality of the SS pan determines if you hear the vibrating sorta shrill or not.
It doesn't have the temperature setting like other induction cooktops; just power settings up to 6 levels. (Personally, I don't have a problem with that although i should mention some cooktops have 10. My reasearch showed most people only go up to 6 on those). I
This is soooo not for warming foods. From what i've read, most induction cooktops are a little too hot at the lowest setting to be used as warmers.
could go either way: fan stays on a little while after power button has been turned off.
Pros:
The device clearly states at the surface that cooking surface will be hot after cooking. The area around it remains cool as I'd water on the device while my pan was at a full boil.
The highest power i've used is 4 for boiling water. most of my cooking have been between 1 and 3.
It works with the cheap stainless steel utensil I got as a gift from penny's.
The timer is nice because I can put stuff on it, set the timer and go to bed as i work nights certain days. I must mention it only goes up to 180 minutes which is 3hrs. I wish it was longer only because goat meat takes about 3-4hrs to cook. My way around it was to set the timer about an hour later right before going to bed.
1500W of power is plenty for everyday cooking.
It cleans easily.
it's very easy to use right out of the box. I've yet to read the manual. I took it right out of the box, plugged it in and started using it. Figured out how the timer works by hitting the button and then hitting the + button.
It fits a small space on my counter top so it's space saving. Plus, If i choose to live in the dorm for school later on, I'll have something portable.
I'll update this review as needed but for now, I highly recommend it. I think it's a bargain at the current price (Amazon sells these for $54.99, you may need to do a new search as this product is listed differently for various sellers.)
update april 2012: Still using this as my primary cooktop and I'm loving it more. if you do have a large dutch oven with thick sauce in it, you can use the 1 setting to keep things warm. Things heat evenly, no hotspots or nothing.
August 2, 2012: This cooktop is dead. Gave me an error message when i put one of my pans on it. Same pan I've always used on it. Yesterday, It would only take my dutch oven. Today, it's just giving an error message for all the pans i put on it and I've different brands of stainless steel appliances. Only lasted a little over half a year. quite awful, in my opinion.
August 8: So I called aroma 2days ago. The rep mentioned 1yr warranty and offered to replace it if i can show proof of purchase so I faxed it to them that evening. Today, they called informing me they don't have this current model but have an upgraded model with a keep warm function and wanted to know if i'm OK with getting that. So they are shipping it today and got a UPS email confirmation 2hrs following the call.
All in all, I'm glad at the ease of product replacement as I was super pissed, hence my 1 star review but I'll move it to 4stars. I've aroma products 4+ years old and this is the first time a product had failed on me.
They told me 5-7days to receive the replacement when i called monday. I went ahead and purchased another induction cooktop on august 3rd as I've noticed that I can't go back to using electric burners. My SS pans looked new when I used this but one day of cooking on an electric burner and I had discoloring at the bottom and food burning and sticking which required soaking, SOS and lots of scrubing. Despite my experience, I still think Induction cooktops are great and I'm a convert.
And I was impressed even more with the ease of clean up. Since the glass doesn't get scorching hot like conventional radiant heat cooktops spilled food will wipe off easily. A big plus.

Coming from a "foodie" and "chef" home background, I have been predisposed to gas cooking. My Wolf range has seen no spill-overs. I LOVE cooking with gas.

I've only had this since last week and it's currently my primary cooking device. Bought it from Home depot and paid a little more because amazon didn't have it.For the price, I think it's a good start for induction cooking if you're new to it.

Love it, I have it in an efficiency and it IS efficient, safe and very economical. Couldn't be more pleased. Remember you do need to buy pots that will work with the induction. So far our cast iron pots and the blue enamel 'camping' gear seem to work. No aluminum or copper bottom.Monday, November 4, 2013

This is a great heater if you are a hands on like to fix it to save money like me. Most people throw these heaters away if the caution light comes on thinking its no good anymore. BAD IDEA i just took a vacuum and cleaned the heater out and then under the thermostat control there is a spring that you have to press in on and move the resistor back in its original position. You will hear a *click* that tells you its reset. However if you dont know what you are doing DO NOT TAKE THE HEATER APART. Call customer service. Easx fix for me and a good heater.
Bottom line: Good heat production. Completely unreliable for anything other than brief, occasional use.

The heater works fine for an occasional "I need to heat a very small space quickly" situation. We bought a pair of them to heat our living room (the only room in the house without forced air heat) for the few hours we were in that room. We would alternate using one on one day and then the other one. They had enough power to do the job. However, after about 4-6 weeks of operation, inevitably one of the two would stop working (the caution light would come on and the fan and heater would stop running). We've replaced 3-4 of them since November.Bottom line: Good heat production. Completely unreliable for anything other than brief, occasional use.

So... I've wavered on this for months. Finally, I decided to see if I could really lay it all to rest. It just doesn't seem that good. So tonight I was cold. I had it on a table top, and I hugged it. I mean... I HUGGED it... I wrapped me and my jacket all around it, touching the face to my body. Then I held my hand ON the face. At 1300w it was easy to do. At 1500w I could hold it there for about a minute before it started to get uncomfortable. I decided to call their support #. They say on their manual in big letters: ATTENTION IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS, EMAIL OR CALL ... BEFORE (underlined) YOU RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO THE STORE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I called the 800 #. I quickly reached a pleasant voice who immediately put me on hold. I finally hung up and called back. I reached the same voice. She asked if I wanted support. I said I did. She told me to give her some info and support will call me back in typically 24-48 hours. This is a joke, right? Oh no, she said. OK. I'm done. Back to Freddie's we go.
