I got this to help move the air conditioning around the hours. It moves air ok with the two fans and i like the way it has different positions for each fan but the fans themselves are a little weak. Its a good product but I would wait for it to come down a little from the $50+ i paid for it.

May have been a good fan, but it arrived broken. I was not happy, but Amazon's return policy was great. Got a sticker for free and had it picked up at my home, no problem at all. I bought a new one which arrived in good condition and works great.

Good product. It works fine. I have had my Delonghi space heater for over 20 years. The switch finally gave out. Due to its unique design, I looked online for a replacement. This switch is an exact replacement for the original switch. I'm back in business with my heater now.

Worked first time. Installed easily. Natural Gas version. One person can lift and place on the wall. Not that heavy. Has a center slotted hanging point then multiple points to secure top and bottom.

Amazon shipped quickly. UPS delivered on time. 2 days.

Need: 1) 120v AC source. 1)3/4" Gas connection. 3/4" water connections.

I removed the sheet rock and installed a plywood back for mounting. Cost of change over: $300. Those fittings, flex hoses, and vent are expensive from Home Depot. They don't have the 3 X 5 heater vent pipes. 3" works fine. Did the install myself.

Will go to 140 deg must must read directions to set it. Nice to have the remote control. Will work with more than one remote. So you can set the temperature for what use. Very small, in relation to a tank. Cannot tell the difference between a tank an the tankless. I use one for the whole house.

This unit started out great and then after one year started throwing error codes. I found out that " normal" maintenance on this thing is going to cost me an extra $200 $500 each year! According to Rheem (manufactuer of Richmond products) I need to have a Plumber come out twice a year and descale the unit and then about every year to year and a half I need to have it completely disassembled and the burners and ignightors cleaned. What a deal this thing turned out to be!

Customer service said I could do it myself and sent me the 12 page instruction sheet for the cleaning of the burners. It involves removing the gas manifolds, control board, burner box, several gas lines, and then reassemble. It requires the removal of at least 50 different screws in very tight places. I am fairly handy at fixing thing and they told me it would take less than a hour. It took me 5! Only to find out the problem was in the control board.

I previously owned a Takagi tankless hot water heater, which is amongst the best one can own. But, this unit most definately blows away the Takagi, and most other units. Installation is simple. The unit requires only a very low flow to start the heater which is super nice. It runs incredible quiet. It is a very small and compact unit, and, best of all, it will save you a ton of money. Rheem also makes an even higher efficiency unit, if you are interested. The construction of this unit is excellent. I highly recommend it.

(BTW... I wouldn't pay too much attention to the reviewer who only gave the unit one star. If these units didn't work (as the reviewer said), then Rheem wouldn't sell them. I would imagine that the one star reviewer was probably a one star installer and that the unit they purchased was just fine. Otherwise, Rheem wouldn't have sent it back to Amazon.)

This was without a doubt, one of the worsy purchases that I have EVER made! Arrived defective and the manufacturer, Rheem, could not have cared less.They refused to replace the bad unit and kept sending plumbers out to touble shoot and fix. After the third plumber, I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon.Amazon was great! they took care of my out of pocket expenses and made me "whole". I will NEVER buy another Rheem product.

The Rheem 8.4GPM tankless hot water heater has a design flaw. Internal to the unit is an observation window used for determining if the burner is working properly. This window has a piece of glass which can fall out, allowing heat from the burner to damage internal components, rendering the unit inoperable. Unfortunately, Rheem will not cover the cost of this failure as they will most likely look for ways to classify the failure as "incorrect installation". In my experience, they did not like the vent termination assembly used, and disqualified any warranty regarding damage induced by the piece of glass falling out, which is wholly unrelated.

I purchased this because it has the ability to heat and cool and dehumidify using a heat pump. I plan to use it as a very powerful dehumidifier that I can use to occasionally heat / cool my basement. I got the portable unit so I could unhook it and take it to other homes to help with dehumidifying carpets after steam cleaning and flooding.

I was hoping that the unit could be permanently installed and that I would never have to deal with the hoses again but it turns out that for the functions to work correctly you need to connect the hoses differently.

For each mode there are different ways to hook up the hoses in the back.

a. For air conditioning mode both hoses are attached to the window adapter plate.

b. For fan mode it doesn't matter how the hoses are connected.

c. For dehumidify mode both hoses are removed from the unit and you need to install the provided covers on the window adapter plate.

d. For heating mode you should disconnect the input hose and put the provided cover over the window adapter plate. I think that if the temperature outside doesn't get below 50 degrees that you could leave the input hose attached and that the unit would perform well.

As a result of these hose hookups the efficiencies gained by having 2 hoses only apply to the cooling mode. The heating mode will only use one hose and as a result create negative pressure in your home and pull colder outside air into structure if the home gets drafty it might be a good idea to open the lowest window in an unused room (basement) in the home a little bit to counter-act this pressure.

Where I live the temperatures fluctuate a lot so I can see myself switching the hoses around frequently in the spring and fall.

The hoses that run from the back of the unit to the window are about 5 inches in diameter and with the appropriate 5 to 6 inch adapter you can hook it up to longer pieces of 6 inch flexible HVAC tubing.

Here is where it gets interesting for use as a tool... This is a very powerful unit. When you put the unit in a 70 degree room and put it in Heating mode the exhaust hose pumps out air that is about 42 degrees. And when you put it in that same 70 degree room and turn on Cooling mode the exhaust hose puts out air that is about 140 degrees. If you connect HVAC tubing to the exhaust pipe you suddenly have the ability to focus a huge amount of very hot or very cold air on a specific spot or space.

The heat function does generate some condensation. there is a pump and a small tube to help remove the condensation. This pump works best if the unit is on a completely level surface. This is a great feature that keeps you from having to constantly drain the unit while it is in heating mode.

When it arrived it was obvious that it had been handled roughly, the box was dented on the bottom, one of the casters on the bottom was broken and two screws inside were broken off and rolling around in the base of the unit. I think this was the delivery company's fault and since none of the screws seemed to be in critical locations and I had an extra caster I decided to just let it be and I fixed it on my own. There are stress marks in the plastic on the bottom of the unit but it does not leak. I did not complain or try to contact anyone yet. I simply don't have time to deal with this and I just see this sort of damage as result of having big products shipped. I did have to disassemble the unit to retrieve the broken screws and it looked to me as if everything inside was thoughtfully laid out and connected.

This is a portable A/C-Dehumidifier-Heater unit. The description says 13,500 BTU. The box it came in says 14,000 BTU in cooling and 11,000 BTU in heating.

It has the much needed double vents so that both air in and air out come from outside. Units that do not have two vents pull hot humid air in through your home's walls causing a lose in efficiency. The ducting and window inserts are sound. They are not airtight, but that can be fixed with insulation foam.

The unit itself has a digital thermostat that is controlled by the display and buttons on top of the unit or by the included remote. All parts feel solid and high quality.

So far it is doing a nice job of keeping my entire 800 sq ft condo at around 77 degrees despite Houston, TX heat and humidity. I will update when I test out its heating capability.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I'm not impressed with the amount of heat it produces when in that mode. That said, the air conditioning part is the BEST! Once you figure out its thermostat is about 5 degrees above the real temperature in the room, it cools my 20' x 20' bedroom in less than 5 minutes. Waiting for the next electric bill, but I don't think this uses that many kilowatts. Actually, I really don't care being cool in this add-on room is worth any price. Now if only the heater worked better...I'll stick to my present heater that does the job and is inexpensive to run.

Great quality! The only thing it doesn't have is a removable condensation bucket. But for the Cooling and heating mode you don't need one. So you only need to hook up a hose for the dehumidifier. Works great cools my 750 sqft apt.

This is a product I'd love to like. I'm using it as a heat pump in mild Northern California weather, replacing electric baseboard heating. It puts out a good amount of heat and will probably be far more efficient than the baseboards. The second unit I received seems to be off by a few degrees on its thermostat, but I can live with that. It's noisy, but given the amount of air it has to move through a narrow duct in order to transfer heat efficiently, I can't really complain about that.

After one December's usage, it seems to have saved about 250 kWh over the electric baseboard, which means it will pay for itself in a year or less at PGE Tier 3 prices.

It has one of the dumbest user interfaces I've ever encountered -I actually sent one back before realizing I hadn't understood what was happening. Not only will it not heat beyond 77 degrees -it silently deactivates the temperature adjustments once the temperature has reached 77 degrees. Combined with what's either a badly calibrated thermostat, or a design that subjects the thermostat to the local heat in the unit, we've run it up to 77 just to get to 70 in the room.

Incidentally, I've got to praise Amazon's second line customer support. I ran into the problem about 35 days after purchase. An Amazon email droid refused to accept a return, but a really nice human being on the phone understood my problem and arranged an exchange. It was excellent, intelligent and understanding customer service that probably saved Amazon a customer.

I've only used this vacuum for a month and a half and so far it is working fine. The ashes are easily suctioned up and clean up is easy. Just unlatch the top, remove the first filter and dump the ashes in the trash. However I would say its not a very powerful vacuum. Don't look to suction up any thing more than the ashes. Also the vacuum comes with almost no attachments. All you get is one metal pipe attachment and a smaller plastic nozzle type attachment. I would love if it came with a smaller hose attachment to really get the small parts of my pellet stove. But with that said the price is low and it does it's job!

We saw this advertised in a Jewish Newspaper and were intrigued. We bought the larger size pot when we realized that they both had the same " footprint " and the larger size took up no extra space on the counter-top, the difference in volume being made up in the height of the unit, not the width or depth. It's a very cool looking unit. The design makes certain issues of Hachzorah and Hamtanoh easier. The little plastic switch cover looks neater than putting aluminum foil over the controls as we have done on out other crock pots. The instructions aren't really explicit as to how to use the Blech component, but anyone familiar with Hilchos Shabbos shouldn't have a problem. If in doubt, contact your LOR ( local Orthodox Rabbi ) If you are used to using a conventional crock pot, the cooking times are somewhat different and it does take some trial and error to get it right. Overall we are very happy with the unit. Very easy to keep clean. We give it 5 stars. There is nothing on the market to compare.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is conveniently portable, you can carry it from one room to another, even if you have been using it for sometime. The heat is coming from the bottom and doesn't heats up the handles that are on the top. It uses two 40W E12 lamps that can be replaced from the back.

Pros:

wonderful magical fireplace display. It looks like an authentic fire unless you are very close to it.

no assembly required

Cons:

Not extremely loud but still makes noise even no heater is on.

No authentic fire log crackling noise. Fireplace DVDs give you better experience on audio.

It is blowing air on the bottom but not enough to spread the head across the room

Energy consumption:

I used a Kill-a-Watt to measure how much energy it consumes. This electronic fireplace has three rocker switches. The first one is for light display only. The other two switches is to turn on the heater. There are two rotating knobs. The one on the left is for the light display intensity. The one on the right is a dumb knob for the heater temperature. It is actually just a two step switch. It doesn't adjust gradually. Nothing happens until you turn the knob past halfway before the light on the second heater switch turns on. After passing halfway, the heat will not intensify more even if you turn the knob all the way to the highest setting.

Light only, dimmest setting = 53W

Light only, brightest setting = 78W

Light + 1 heater switch = 731W

Light + 2 heater switches = 1,311W

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have not had an electric fireplace before. But, I was certainly surprised at the heating uniformity this one produced. I was suspicious that it would heat in one spot, like those small space heaters.

I placed this in the lowest level of my home. I have a Tri-level and the basement level is the coldest. Although it is not too cold yet, this electric Fireplace threw out some instant heat. The heat soon radiated into the room, and it kept the heat in the room uniform.

I liked the look of the flames and the wood, as it is quite realistic. The flames are high, and consistently producing nice images of fire.

My only concern is that the flames are placed in the back, and I would like the flames to billow out of the "logs" also. So, the logs are lit, and the flames are in the back.

The unit, itself, does not get hot, and there is an auto safety feature. You can operate this with or without the heat. PLUS, you can operate one heating element or both for greater warmth.

I placed the Fireplace in the Living Room, and I got a very nice uniform heat. I will, of course, raise the fireplace for more of a level to eye view and enjoyment.

This one is smaller than my other unit Frigidaire CMSF-10310 Cleveland Floor Standing Electric Fireplace Black. It is compact and easy to move. It certainly does not take up much space.

But what I do not know yet is if this uses more electricity than normal. I will test it out, But, in the meanwhile, it is wonderful!! Works great, looks better! Rizzo

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We are thoroughly enjoying this electric fireplace. First of all, it's an attractive piece and appropriate for our bedroom, den and living area. One of the best things about it is its portability we can move it wherever we wish.

Since we live in the Southwest we've yet to experience any real winter this year so have just used it during the cool mornings of late. We cannot wait for real frosty winter to arrive as we have visions of toasty evenings watching TV.

We're pleased that we don't have to heat the entire villa to make us comfortable in one room. What a boon when the bill comes around!

Think the price for it is quite reasonable and for us a Frigidaire product is a good, dependable one.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire DSF-10302 Dallas Floor Standing Electric Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This fireplace is a bit small to do anything with. Since it's a 'fireplace,' you want it out in the open to admire it, but it's too small to act like a fireplace. If you end up putting it close to you to act as a space heater, you lose a lot of the ambiance of the fireplace and starts to look really fake. I do like that it has two heat settings -and can put out a respectable amount of heat for its size -but I think I'd opt for one of the bigger, more expensive ones over this one. It's really too small and 'space heater like' to really appreciate as a fireplace.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This floorstanding fireplace is easily moved from location to location. It gives off a pleasant orange glow in addition to the heat coming from the bottom of the unit. The control that operates the fire appearance is a rheostat on the back panel the visual effects cannot be turned off if the unit is turned on. That is, you can't have just the heat without any visual effects; even at the dimmest setting, the effects may be too bright in an otherwise dark room. The heater control can be run at half power as there are two heater switches. Leave one off and you get half the heat at half the power. I found that to be sufficient in most cases.

The only downside of the unit is the noise. The white noise from the fan is considerable in a quiet room. It isn't grating in any way but would require that you turn up your music or watch TV at a higher volume than you might otherwise in the same space. I'd prefer a quieter fan.

In comparing this with other portable heaters that I have, this unit produces the same amount of heat but costs considerably more. You're paying here for the fireplace appearance. If that's what you are looking for, there's no question that visually this product is far more appealing than your run of the mill beige colored heat generating boxes. But if the heat is what you're looking for, and visual effects are secondary, look elsewhere.

One final point of concern is the warning in the product brochure: "This fireplace is intended for supplemental heat and/or decorative purposes. Continuous use for several hours can impact the performance and life of the fireplace." This may be of concern for those who might think to use the product, say, in their home office for 7-8 hours a day during the winter or who put it in their bedroom to keep the room warm at night after they turn down the house thermostat.

This worked well with 5 days/week use for a few years. I like that you can lay the heater on its side to heat more floor area. However, recently as I've been laying it down for floor heat, it has been making a lot of noise. About 2-3 weeks later, it just doesn't work at all anymore. Too bad.

It's not the best heater I've ever used (I'm usually either cold or too hot with this heater no good medium), but it's pretty good.
