So after spending a little over a week searching for a suitable kettle I have definitely found the perfect match. I recently received a 6 cup teapot and wanted to keep it in my room along with an electric kettle to replace going into the kitchen and brewing cup after cup of tea.

My criteria

Stainless steel with as little plastic contact as possible.

Hidden heating element.

Simple functions, the less bells and whistles the less to break

Good spout

Inexpensively priced.

What I like about this kettle:

It met all my criteria.

After brewing and discarding 4 kettle fulls there is no discernible aftertaste.

No plastic contact inside, there is a plastic water level but it isn't in direct contact with the largest body of water in the kettle. Also, the tube for the boiling shut off is made from stainless as well, not plastic which is really nice.

Is real metal not just plasticy coated metal imitator I saw on a few of the models.

The inside bottom is a stainless plate with the heating element underneath making clean up easy.

The outside bottom is plastic and gets warm not burning hot so it can be placed onto a surface.

Slides onto the base easily.

Auto shutoff works well.

What worries me: I say worries because it isn't a problem right now but may be a few months down the line.

The lid opens with a button which if it breaks could potentially be a problem, not to fill the kettle as the spout provides adequate room to fill it with, but to clean it.

After two brews i took the little filter out. I am using it only to heat water and only with filtered water so to me it seems unnecessary.

The switch at the bottom, it doesn't seem flimsy per say but it does seem to be a little loose, its not a push button so I worry it may give out.

Duh, or common sense things that people seem to have an issue with:

It gets hot. Yes. It's supposed to. Since the body is stainless steel, which is a good conductor of heat, it will be hot. The handle provides ample room to grab though.

It will be heavy if completely full. Yes, water in larger amounts does get heavy. The kettle itself isn't much heaver than a standard coffee carafe so it should not add much to the overall weight.

It can be a bit loud. Its boiling water, the kettle doesn't have any sound or heat insulation so yes you will be able to hear it. Honestly for me its not really a bother. The kettle sits on its own table next to my desk and I find it kind of soothing. Plus if I am heating water for green tea or white tea I can listen in and shut it off before it comes full boil.

Along those lines, if you leave water in it for some time yes the water will cool. It is not a warmer nor is it a thermos that will keep it to the same temperature all day.

Overall:

I am very satisfied with this product. I have already recommended it to several people and it has been serving me well. Its not a fancy appliance so it does its job and doesn't require a tremendous effort on my part which was exactly what I was looking for.

Researched electric kettles no end without finding a good buy with good performance. Picked this one up at Costco, trusting in the return policy.

I've had no thought of returning it: Heats fast, and the hot water has no taste or smell. Base is light but stays put--it's no effort at all to set it on the base or lift it off.

Cons:

* The metal outside gets hot. Fortunately, you have no reason to touch it. The handle is large and comfortable and your knuckles are protected from accidental brushes, so the heat of the metal is not likely to matter.

* The trigger on the top of the handle opens the lid. A minor annoyance: this usually flings a few droplets of water about. If you use the trigger to open the lid just after boiling, though, those droplets will be very hot. Fortunately, there's no reason to do this unless you're starting another kettle-full just after finishing one. When you're pouring normally, you'll be pouring through the spout and the top needn't be open.

I went thru three cordless electronic kettles like this one and was not satisfied, but this one is a keeper, I love it, it boils water fast, keeps it hot/warm for a long time, water doesn't taste funny, no problem with top not opening properly, it's all around the best that I've used, I'll recommend it to everyone~~~

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Ensemble Electric Kettle, 10-Cup

After lots of research, I opted for this one. I drink hot tea every day and wanted an easy and safe way to make hot water, without using the microwave or turning on the stove. This electric kettle did the trick!

PROS:

Kettle can be removed from heating base and carried around.

Wide, sturdy handle for easy carrying and pouring.

Very minimal if any dripping while pouring, really great pouring design.

Heats water very fast.

Automatic shut-off once water reaches a boil, very nice feature.

Very simple switch for on/off and red indicator light tells you it is in the process of heating.

Minimal plastic, mostly stainless steel parts that touch the water.

Metal mesh filter inside pouring spout to catch mineral deposits. I don't really have a need for it, but some might. Can be removed.

Kettle can be placed at any spot on heating base, no need to line anything up.

Heating portions are internal to reduce corrosion and damage.

Boil-dry prevention; it won't allow the unit to turn on the heating element if it detects kettle is empty.

CONS:

Measuring indicator is behind handle, so not the easiest to read while holding.

Product guide states minimum water to boil should be no less than one liter. This is excessive for some of my uses, but not a big deal.

Uses a lot of power fast to quickly heat up that amount of water, actually tripped the breaker!

Lid is spring-loaded so when you push the button, it flings open and if the water is hot, it will fly back on your hand or arm. Though there is no real reason to open the kettle up when it has boiling hot water in it, it could be dangerous especially for kids.

Small opening makes it more difficult to clean, though you aren't to put anything other than water in it so only minimal cleaning is required.

OTHER

Noise: You can hear the kettle heating the water, and it sounds much like a kettle on a stove. There isn't a whistle, but you can hear the water boiling. When it shuts off, there is a 'click' as the switch flips off. I like that, lets me know it is done.

Heavy: Remember, the more water is in it, the heavier it will be. You can't touch anywhere but the handle because it is too hot (and stays hot for awhile). The handle is sturdy and thick enough to pick up the kettle, but if you have weak hand/wrists and it is full, BE CAREFUL. Use a potholder if you need to touch the other side for balance.

Overall: I'm happy with my purchase. You can easily spend a lot of money on an electric tea kettle, but I don't see the need to, this one from Hamilton Beach does a fine job.

I bought one from Costco. It works perfect. There is no rubber smell. I have a very sensitive nose when drinking my earl grey tea. Performance so far is just as good as the Cuisine Art that we keep upstairs which tends to break down after a year of use. We will see which one will lasts longer without breaking down.

Reviews of Sharp CV2P10SX 10,500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner With Automatic

Customer Ratings:

After enduring five hot summers in my new place, I finally decided to get a portable room air conditioner to help beat the heat.

After a little bit of searching, I settled upon this Sharp unit. I liked its clean styling and the easy installation diagrams it featured on the outside of the box. The $50 instant rebate offered at the time also helped -a lot.

The unit comes with various panels to aid in the outside venting installation. The 5" diameter flexible hose seemed kind of g-normous coming out of the box. But its semi-rigid construction has a built in screw-like segmentation which makes it easy to hand twist the hose into the a) the unit itself and b) into the window adapter no tools required. How cool is that?

It took me about 20 minutes to install the window adapter and frame into my outside window (with just a bit of drilling and screwing).

But when I turned the unit on I couldn't believe 1) how quiet the unit was and 2) how really cold the air was coming out of it. Halleluiah!

My two cats watched curiously as I set the unit up. But they both managed to find favorite spots downwind which have now become their preferred nesting places during the day. Who says cats are dumb?

The a/c vents on the front seemed small at first. But they open automatically (to help keep the unit clean) and their limited size actually helps to increase the speed of the air flow for greater projection.

I've closed the doors to all of my other rooms to confine the cool air to the kitchen/dining room and living room. I have no idea how close this area comes to the suggested 400 square foot maximum. My place has built-in air-conditioning, but I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can do without it for the entire summer.

After living with a myriad of room fans and even an indoor dehumidifier (which was a lot louder and vented its own heat out of the back) I can already tell this is shaping up to be the most comfortable summer I've yet to experience.

The Sharp portable a/c comes with a hand remote which is used to control the settings. There is only a power switch and some indicator lights on the unit itself. I use the automatic control to set a desired temperature and the unit does the rest. Also, when the programmed temperature is reached the unit goes to a reduced output mode with a bit of cool air still coming out. Nice.

But even when the unit is running it is still a lot quieter than my numerous tower fans and my old room dehumidifier. It's also much, much quieter than my dishwasher. And almost as quiet as my refrigerator when it's going.

I also went outside to see how much air flow was coming out and it was surprisingly quite a lot. And the exhaust temperature was fairly warm which indicated to me how much of a heat transfer was actually taking place. Nice.

Since I use my dining table as my desk when I work at home having the Sharp portable a/c just yards away makes me as cool as I've always wanted to be year `round.

Will my overall energy bill go down by having this new Sharp portable a/c unit? I can't see why not since I'm not cooling my entire place. However, only time will tell.

For now I couldn't be happier or more comfortable. I think it's shaping up to be a really cool summer. If you can afford the up-front cost it's worth it. Please, don't miss out.

Have you ever purchased something that turned out to be even better than you expected? Of course. Well that's the feeling I have with this quiet and powerful little dynamo. First, rather than repeat the exceptional lead review by Aaryanna, one which echoes my sentiments to a tee, I will add to her exposition by explaining the title of my review. PlasmaClusters! Who knew? Aaryanna had so much to say about the A/C's features she was too tired to talk about the ions. All I wanted was a sturdy and reliable portable A/C for my bedroom. I live in the San Fernando Valley of So. California and right about June 20th to July 1st when the temperature hits 95F for the first time, the daytime temps will seldom dip below 88 again until about, um I don't know, Labor Day. Night temps will mostly stay above 80F and can average 85F for a week at a time. I have a one bedroom apartment with the unit's own built-in wall air-conditioner in the living room only. Last year on the hottest nights I'd set up a three fan series starting at the air-conditioner with a second fan midway to my back bedroom and the final fan around the small corner leading into the bedroom itself. As you might imagine, this jury-rigged little setup was not only inefficient, but required me to run the wall A/C at full blast all night to get even four or five degrees of relief. Not cheap! You can imagine from Aaryanna's review, this A/C marvel is just what the doctor ordered. Now I wonder what took me so long.

What I didn't expect was the patented Sharp Ion Generator. What kind of of little doodad could this be? Fries with that double cheeseburger sir? Just Google Plasmaclusters, wow! This is no gimmick, hence the patent! There are pretty expensive Sharp Ion Generator units sold all over the world that do only one thing and very well at that. They scrub your air of harmful microbes, dirt, and pesky viruses in a patented way that has little to do with all of the other ideas you may have had about ion air cleaning machines. Are you ready for this? There is a "REFRESHER" function which when activated will cleanse the odors of any garments you choose to place in front of the unit, including simply placing the unit in front of your closet and de-odorizing your entire wardrobe. I won't bore you with particulars, that's what Google is for. Check it out.

So, I've got a great air conditioner, a great dehumidifier, a great room air venter, and a first class sleep mode no louder than a good frig. But who knew it was going to be one of the healthiest things I've ever had? I would have paid the same money for the A/C qualities alone. It's as if they threw in the Ion Generator out of their concern for my health! Who knew???

I used the 2 reviews that were already here to help me buy this product. I was not disappointed. The Midwest is in the middle of a heat wave. I installed this unit around 6 PM and our berdroom cooled down enough to sleep well that night. The next night was even better, as we leave the unit on. We have a second floor bedroom that is above our garage, so there is heat coming from everywhere. We were freezing out the rest of the house using the central A/C, but now have turned that up to 80 degrees, and use this unit in the bedroom.

The unit is very quiet at night. We put the fan on low. It provides a very nice "white noise" which covers up the traffic noise very nicely. The unit works so well, we have to burrow into the covers. Plus the ion generator leaves the room smelling fresh and clean.

Unit is very heavy, so you need to be careful when you get the package. But once it's out of the box, it does have wheels so it does move around easily.

My only complanit is the part that attaches in the window. I had to trim some off the flange, as my window was narrower than the flange, so that weakened it a little. I'm going to build my own and attach the exhaust hose to that as soon as the heat wave is over.

All in all, I highly recomend this unit. We're sleeping better than ever.

******UPDATE 05/05/2013******

I was pretty happy with the price and how effective it is at cooling the room, but the rattling was really getting to me. This was a refurb for 250.00, so I expected that it may not be perfect. So I took the housing apart to find out why is was soooo noisy. Dismantling was actually very easy. After removing the 2 screws at the bottom front, the front cover slides up and I was able to get to most of the problem area's. All it needed was some new foam buffers where the plastics were touching (very cheap fix).

That probably should have happened at the factory when it was refurbed. For that they loose 1 star.

Still, it is a pretty great unit. I hope I don't need to contact customer support. That looked like it was going to be a pain (automated voice system), I gave up...

Original post:

I live northern New Mexico. Summers get into the high 90's for a couple months, it gets to 100 or just above for a few day per year. Our house was built in the late 50's. The AC unit is for the master BR, an old enclosure of a 2 car garage, with old metal casement roll out windows from the 60's.

As far as installation, it might have been easy if I had modern sliding windows, but I don't. The only part of the included window adapters (which seem pretty well made) that I could use, was the vent port. I opted to remove 1 pane of glass (from a six pane window) to fit a piece of plexi glass with a hole cut for the vent port. It worked perfectly. I have the AC unit right under it, with the hose going straight up to it.

There is a good bit of heat generated that goes through the vent hose to the outside which heats the vent hose up considerably. When sitting close to it, you can feel the hose cancelling out some of the coolers effectiveness. I bought a 6 foot duct sleeve at the home depot for around $6.00 to insulate the hose and that made all the difference (it simply slips over the vent hose like a sleeve, duh. Then some tape or zips to hold it). I can't feel any heat from the hose now (Sharp should probably include that with the cooler).

The cooler does definitely cool the room down with NO trouble. The biggest issue that I have with it is that the plastic housing around the unit can rattles A LOT if it is not positioned just so... I have to mess with it for a bit to get it to stop chattering. I now have it propped up in the back with a 1 in piece of wood to keep it quiet. Other than that it works really well.

I wouldn't really consider it portable. It's just a good alternative to construction to add ducting...

I would recommend this AC unit, but I would not pay $500.00. I paid 250.00 for a referb.

Pros:

1. The unit showed up in two days!

2. Easy installation.

3. Cools effectively.

Cons:

1. I live in California and the weather has been quite warm. The unit's water tank fills up in 2-3 hours which automatically turns air conditioner off. To further compound my challenges with the unit, the only means to drain the water tank is wheel the entire unit outside. This is not an easy task due to the size of the unit. I would have expected a removable water tank at a minimum. Even better, would be a drain hose or other means to remove the water from the unit allowing it to run for longer periods of time required to allow this unit to cool the room. All in all, unless I am open to wheeling the unit outside several times a night to drain the water tank, this unit is ineffective for my requirements. The support line, although I received conflicting responses, indicated I can attach a hose to the water tank drain allowing me to drain the water tank either outside or to an indoor drain.

Reviews of Soft Heat MicroPlush Top Electric Warming Mattress Pad

List Price: $154.99
Sale Price: $109.99

Folks, I shopped online for many heated mattress pads. I read everything, and finally decided I would narrow the choice to the new "low voltage" models, that convert the AC current that comes from the wall into a low voltage DC (or some such thing) to power the thin little wires in the pad. Some people claim the higher voltage might have dangerous fields or such some dispute that, but anyway, it seems like newer technology is better so I went that way.

The choices narrowed down to a model from Frontgate that is $100 more, but has the advantage of a separate heating zone for the feet. So if you're a cold-footed person, you can crank up the foot portion of the mattress pad. Also, that Frontgate model had, in addition to the wired control, an identical wireless control. I guess that's if you don't like wires hanging off your bedstand, or if you want to be able to fire up that puppy when you're standing over by your closet. So I actually ordered both to compare.

This velour pad is really nice. You might wonder if it's too fluffy or smells synthetic or whatever, but really I would say it feels like if you laid down a very soft plush towel on your mattress, then put your fitted sheet on top. Very comfortable. Doesn't feel fluffy through your fitted sheet, just feels soft and nice. The dial has quite a range so you can set it just how you want.

By contrast, the expensive Frontgate model only had three settings, hi, medium, and lo, and I don't think that's enough range.

As for whether you want the velour or just a plain cotton/mix pad, that's up to you. And as to whether you want a heated mattress pad vs. an electric blanket, you can read all about the pros/cons from other reviewers. I am so thrilled to have the mattress heated, after using electric blankets for 10 years, because it makes so much more sense. I love it! One of my favorite additions to the house ever. This is the one I kept I sent the Frontgate back.

UPDATE: I revised this to include some thoughts from the comments.

It's really hard to describe just how great this heated mattress pad is. You would think the "microplush" part wouldn't matter. But somehow, even through my 800 thread count sheets, I can feel the difference when I put this on my bed. Just having the pad on the bed is great even when it's not turned on.

The heating coils are much finer (thinner) than typical heated pads so there aren't lumps and the heat is more uniform. The heat range seems quite nice. Of course, I live in Colorado and my wife likes to keep the window open. So we use a heavy down comforter with the heater.

The pad itself wraps your mattress well. This will fit even the thickest Queen size mattress without danger of the pad sliding around at night.

Now for the caveats. Yeah, I suggested there was only one but there are two important concerns:

1. The power inverter that converts the 110 volts AC coming out of your wall (which normal pads use directly) into lower voltage DC tends to make a high pitched whistle. I guess I didn't go to enough Rock concerts when I was younger because I am still sensitive to high frequency sounds. There are many nights where the whistle wakes me up. You have to unplug the unit to get it to stop. I usually through a pillow over the unit and that sometimes helps. It is high frequency, which means it's highly directional and easily blocked.

2. You cannot get replacement controllers. The manufacturer, PerfectFit / SoftHeat / Chattam & Wells, does not sell replacement controllers. After about two and a half years, my original controller died leaving me freezing while my wife was toasty. They did honor the five year warranty and sent an entire new pad with two controllers!

Maybe #2 isn't really a caveat. They did a great job honoring the warranty and now I have a complete set of spare parts. But I'm still going to knock a star for #1. If you are sensitive to high frequency sounds, this may not be the pad for you. Otherwise, this heating pad really is great!

I am very pleased with this heated mattress pad. It fits my queen mattress nicely. THe wire connections are located at the head of the pad on the vertical (edge) section. They are not at the bottom of the pad so you don't have wires running up towards the head of the bed from underneath. THe cover is soft and fuzzy so the sheet (I happen to be using flannel sheets right now) don't slip around on the pad. It heats up quickly. I wish for the money, that the controls had a system for preheat time and then automatically switches to your desired reduced heat setting. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase. THe washing instructions also look like it's a washer friendly pad no extra special handling for washing Yea! I am glad I bought a heated pad and not an electric blanket no matter where my feet are, they lie in a warm spot.

Honest reviews on Soft Heat MicroPlush Top Electric Warming Mattress Pad

It is all that I hoped for. This heated mattress pad is wonderful and will keep you toasty warm! I have typically had electric blankets but they always stop working after a season. While I have not had this for nearly that long and cannot comment on how long it will work I will say that it is fantastic. It seems to give out a little extra heat near the bottom where your feet are and that is perfect for me. I do have to turn it off usually in the middle of the night (or at least turn it to low) because I get very warm but it feels perfect as I'm going to sleep. You cannot feel the wires and I do not hear any humming sound from the converter boxes which are under the bed. I'm not sure if the microplush is really necessary but it feels great when putting it on the bed. My mattress is 15" deep and this fit it very easily and should be able to fit mattresses that are even deeper. Two thumbs up on this purchase!

I've purchased hundreds of items from Amazon over the years, and this is the best thing I've ever purchased.

I have owned 3 of these heaters. They last about 2 years and effectively heat about 800 sq ft. The company has great customer service. I set the thermostat and leave it alone. My house is 1200 sq ft, open rambler. The sole source of heat was propane, which is expensive. The propane stove is set to come on when the temp in the house drops down to 64, which is at night. The heater is in the living room and keeps the house at 68 during the day when I'm gone. When I'm home I set it to 70. Do not set the Comfort Zone at the economy mode as it will run none stop. Set it at the middle mode and then it will be energy efficient and turn off when it reaches 1 degree above the setting and will turn on when it falls 1 degree below the setting. The Comfort Zone is more efficient and costs less to run then my friend's Edenpure Amish heater that cost twice as much. It keeps about 800 sq feet warm, the outer areas are cooler. I don't remember exactly what the cost per hour is but it isn't much. The power is on 24/7 from about Oct through April and costs about $20 a month compared to a tank of propane at an average of $500 a month. Before the Comfort Zone I was having the propane tank filled every month from Oct through April. $20 vs. $500, it is well worth the savings. I have a separate Comfort Zone in my sunroom which isn't heated. It comes on in the late evening and keeps the sunroom at 60 otherwise it drops to 44. I've had black, walnut, and cherry they all work the same. I recommend them to all my friends. The one drawback is while they keep the house at a consistent temp, they do not permeate the heat like propane does. Again $20 vs. $500, it is well worth the savings. Read the manual and clean it the way it says to so it keeps running efficiently. I live in the Pacific NW. Hope this helps.

I have owned 10-12 of these Markel heaters over the last 40 years. The earliest were blue, then brown then white. The blue and brown work for years and years with only an occasional dust cleaning. The white models are China made and are OK except for one fatal flaw: the wire connections to the elements burn out and thus no heat is produced. Markel was good enough to replace my two heaters, but they too burned out. So I bought some good high heat wire connectors and a crimping tool, and replace/recrimp them as needed. (the old connectors fall apart like carbon.) Otherwise the heaters seem fine for my home and summer cabin. I realize this type of repair isn't for everybody but it works for me. Mind you I bought my last two heaters about 5 years ago so hopefully Markel has improved their Chinese connectors.

I do like the heat settings for these including the no fan lower setting.

PS (march 2011) I purchased two more of these heaters in January 2011. One element has just quit in the same fashion as before. I must now get out my repair kit.

After reading a couple of the favorable reviews I purchased this heater for my 80 year old mother. The heater broke within 45 days. I contacted TPI and they told me I had to go through the seller Antonline. Antonline told me they only had a 30 day return policy and after that it was not their responsibility. After numerous phone calls to TPI (the manufacturer) they said they were not going to honor the warranty because I had purchased it from an unauthorized retailer. They said that they had received a number of complaints from customers about the heater and unless the heaters came from one of their authorized dealers they we not going to replace them. I told them as a consumer I should not have to be responsible for verifying who is authorized to sell a company's products.

They responded that my complaint along with the others had been discussed at the highest levels in the company and that the decision to not honor the warranty was final. I filed a complaint with the Tennessee consumer affairs division. I not only found it deplorable that they would not even consider that they may have had a manufacturing flaw, but to also just neglect your own warranty was too much.

Not only will I not recommend this heater, but I would not recommend purchasing any product made by TPI.

We have purchased a large quantity of these fans for use at mountain-top communications sites that can get pretty chilly in the winter months. Over the years, these have proven to be very robust, dependable heaters. They are also great camping heaters in that, on the LOW setting, the fan does not kick on and off, or run at all. If you're a light sleeper, this allows you to sleep, while still getting plenty of radiant heat with a thermostat setting. The LOW setting is enough to keep a 24-foot trailer nice and warm inside while outside temperatures are in the 40's. The low setting is also nice since it is not drawing much current through your trailer's electrical wiring. These are sturdy heaters and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I bought two of these heaters within a month of each other.

The first one works fine while heating a 12x12 room.

The second one broke down after three weeks of light usage. It was heating a small, 60-degree bathroom up to 72-degrees , which means it wasn't being overused or taxed in any way. At first it began emitting a strange odor a burning smell than it stopped heating, even though the unit was still running. Pushing the Reset Button does nothing. I suspect that the element burned out. A label on the outside of the unit warns that there are no user replaceable parts inside. The heater is worthless.

Despite the fact that the first heater is still working nicely, I cannot recommend the product.

I purchased a small copper dish from an Indian store, so I could melt butter when I bake, and luckily it fits in the hole. My teapots also sit ok on it. However, the color changed when liquid dripped over, and doesn't come off with regular wash. I may have to buy the copper polish. Anyway, it's useful for my purpose, I didn't want to buy a glass warmer that would break. It's expensive, but all copper is.

Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.

Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.

I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.

While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.

Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan

Works as advertised. My family recently moved into a 2-story colonial, and the airflow coming out of the vents in the master bedroom is a little weak, making it warmer than the rest of the bedrooms on the top floor. I could turn down the thermostat, but that would freeze out the rest of the house. The Suncourt (HC500) and Airflow Breeze boosted registers caught my eye, but I wanted a quick solution (i.e. no order-and-wait) and the local Home Depot had the HC300 in stock.

What can I say, but "it works". Without the HC300, the airflow (floor vents shooting upward) reached a height of 3 ft (based on holding my hand above the vent), and with the booster, it reached a perceptible height of 5 feet. With a single booster over 1 of our 2 vents, the master bedroom was noticeably cooler. In fact it worked so well that I ordered two in-vent boosters (HC500) so that I have one for each duct. The weather has cooled down, so I'm unable to compared those to the HC300, except that they are quieter.

As far as noise goes, the HC300 is not silent, but it is far quieter than a Marpac white noise machine set to the lowest setting (we use that in our baby's room). Actually, for use in a bedroom, I find the low level of white noise kinda soothing. As an added bonus, the fan in the booster doesn't turn off until the air temperature from the ductwork reaches a preset temperature. That means that after the AC (or heat) has turned off, the booster is still scavenging the remaining cool (or warm during the winter) air from the ductwork.

This is a great solution if your airflow to a room is weak, but I can imagine some circumstances (strong airflow, but warm air) where boosting the airflow won't help or you'll have a ceiling effect. Yes, you ideally would want to call in a professional to rebalance the ductwork, but in many instances it would be cost prohibitive (i.e. ripping up flooring to get to the ductwork).

I give it a 4 out of 5, with 1 point deducted for the (albeit low) noise level.

I bought two register boosters several years ago and one of the two recently stopped working; could not be repaired by my engineer husband. No longer carried at local store so I ordered two online. We use them on the second floor of our home to boost heat in the winter and A/C in the summer and they work very well. Hope neither of the new ones ordered via Amazon fail!

Shabu Shabu Hot Pot, Electric Mongolian Hot Pot W/DIVIDER Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The hot pot was listed under a name of "Maruki" in January when I ordered it. I thought it was a different product from what I saw in some super markets. So I placed an order. It's was a big surprise to me when I received the item that has a brand name of "Ikeda". I called the seller and they said that they did not have time to edit the description. If I had known this is an Ideda product I would have bought it from 99 Ranch Market. They are now on sale for $34.99 (the original price was $39.99). However, the hot pot is excellent and the shipping was fast.

This Shabu Shabu Hot Pot makes for great family dinners and conversations with friends. Everyone loves sharing the hot pot, discovering floating delicacies. The only thing I regret with the purchase is not to have invested in the 2 compartment for the broth. With a single compartment we can only have one broth rather than the two we usually get at our local Asian restaurant. The two compartment version allow for a mild and a spicy broth instead of the average dull mix.

Once the food is prepared, there isn't much to do with the hot pot. Just plug it in, adjust the thermostat and wait a few minutes. Usually we set it up on high until it boils, then reduce quite a bit just to keep it warm. With a full load of broth, it takes about 12 minutes to boil before you can start enjoying your delicious meal. Cleaning is very easy as the top comes off.

Honest reviews on Shabu Shabu Hot Pot, Electric Mongolian Hot Pot W/DIVIDER

My husband and I added this to our Amazon registry and were thrilled to receive it for our wedding! We had fond memories of several dates out for shabu shabu at Japanese restaurants in Boston and even at home in Minneapolis. We had to throw a dinner party the weekend after it came in the mail to give it a whirl, and it was a big hit as expected! We loaded up on produce and raw meats from the Asian grocery, added broth to the water, and it was boiling within minutes. We had this whole thing set up on our outdoor table on a beautiful autumn night and we laughed, drank sake and cooked our soups long into the night. What a treat to be able to make this now at home and continue making memories with dear friends!

Some new restaurant opened up near where we live and we made the "mistake" of taking our two little kids to eat there one day. The whole self-serve of plates of food to put into the pot made them go nuts and we ended up spending over 60 bucks to eat there. And then we went back again because it tasted so good. And then we had to take the inlaws and that made it even more expensive. In the end, it felt like we were going broke, but it was still such a yummy experience!

I began looking for a hot pot with a divider just like the one they used at the restaurant, which is ideal because then my husband and I could have our own broth on one side and the kids could have their miso soup broth on the other side. I couldn't find one that was just a pot because I was going to buy it with a tabletop induction burner, but I ended up going with this one since it came with a heating element and pot all in one.

The first time we used it I simply used miso soup and chicken broth like someone else in another review posted. It was so simple and delicious and just as good as the restaurant! I ended up spending 40 bucks on the food because I had no real idea of how much I should buy. This ended up being way too much and I've since then learned precisely how much food I need to buy to serve the four of us and now have it down to about 20 bucks per dinner, which is only slightly higher than a typical dinner anyway. Plus, I always have a delicious leftover soup to eat the next day, which saves me the cost of an $8 lunch.

We use a variety of dipping sauces including somen salad dressing, ponzu sauce, a pineapple chili sauce, and soy sauce. I'm sure there are lots of other options you can make at home as well.

The biggest downside by far is the short cord. Unless you have a table next to a wall outlet, you'll find it hard to plug in on a traditional dining table. It's long enough to keep it at the edge of our dining table, but it's still dangerous and I have to make sure everyone stays away from it so they don't trip on it and spill everything.

Still, the cord isn't enough for me to take off a full star. I still love this thing and have used it four times so far, with the kids loving it just as much as the restaurant's food. And who can complain about saving 50% on a meal when you cook it yourself at the restaurant anyway!

I do not have central heat and air in my home so I bought these heaters for my kids rooms. They are fantastic! They dont get hot, so if the kids touch them they dont burn themselves. They are easy to operate, though I unplug everytime I leave the house to go to work as the light does not go off when you turn the heater to the off position. The bedrooms are about 140sf and it takes about 30 min to warm up in the room when we get home everyday. I have had the heaters plugged in for 3 or 4 days at a time and still the casing stays warm to the touch. Running these heaters everynight in November, December and January so far, it has cost about $65.00 a month for both heaters on the electric bill. I plan on buying 3 more for the rest of the house.

I purchase a heater to use in by bedroom while I sleep. So I wanted a quiet one.

The unit is fanless and so generally quiet. Unfortunately it does creak a bit when it heats up. The thermostat is very quiet. . . it's hard to hear it click. Otherwise the heater works well. Despite it's title of a baseboard heater, it can be placed elsewhere; but if it's not close to a wall, it could possibly be a tripping hazard due to its low height.

It could use thicker sheet metal all around, which I think is probably the case for many such heaters.

I purchased the heater from Amazon/Northern Tools. The first one was damaged in shipment. Northern Tools replaced it without complaint. The second one was also damaged. . . but not nearly as much as the first one. I decided to keep it. Both were damaged in a similar fashion. The manufacturer could do a better job protecting them in shipment.

The heater I got is made in the USA. Hope they continue to make them here onshore, but gladly, mine doesn't have the toxic fumigants embedded in the paint (and other parts) that other heaters have from the shipping container fumigants they apply to the shipping container interiors when they ship from China (to prevent mold and mildew, and insects in the containers, which are sometimes enclosed for months.) Heat really activates these chemical toxins, embedded in the materials. Those toxic vapors take a while to gas-off of a new heater, and I have enough health problems and headaches without them.

I gassed this unit off at 1500W outside for a few hours and used it at 1000 watts indoors without any problems, and I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity.

The heating element in this portable heater is the same size as a 1000-Watt stationary baseboard. On the 1000-WATT setting (low) it gives a steady nice heat and doesn't get the chassis extremely hot on the outside probably because of the angle at which the heater stands, which maximizes airflow convection. The housing doesn't even get as hot as a 1000-WATT stationary baseboard, which sits vertically against a wall, not at an angle, like this one does.

The "enamel" paint on all heaters is not really a traditional mineral enamel coating, but a modern polyester imitation, sometimes called "powder coat." It is like when they call eating utensils "silverware" which is mostly stainless steel. Heat this "enamel" paint with a torch and it wont blister or crack, it will melt.

I believe I called this company on the phone and I think they said they used epoxy paint, but please check with them yourself if you are concerned about this. Their product line of (aka Q-Mark, farenheat) heaters has a good price for a good basic product.

The location of the thermostat on this item is much better than the location of the thermostat on radiator-type stand-up oil-filled heaters (another good choice), unfortunately, most of them are now made offshore as far as I have seen in stores (and therefore very toxic, because the paint picks up bug and fungus fumigant vapors in the shipping containers.)

In element heaters, there is very little heat at the ends of the element. The heat gradually increases to the middle of the element. The thermostat is at the end. That means element heaters are less likely to effect the control of the thermostat relative to the ambient temperature in the room, which will have more effect on the thermostat than it will with a hydronic (oil-filled) heater, especially radiator-types. That makes the element heater far better for heat control and moderation.

This has been a great heater. We use it when the temperature gets cold. It heats up the front room very nicely. It is our only source of heat. I have chemical sensitivity and it didn't give me any problems. It takes the chill out of the air. It is more to take the chill out of the air than to warm up one specific area. I love it and wish they sold a smaller version of it.

Just like other reviewers, I'm very happy with this unit and the cost performance (including operating cost) is great! Here are few things to try to help people who are considering buying this great unit.

1. In order to install this unit properly, a vacuum pump, a vacuum gauge and a valve between the pump and the gauge, a hose to connect the vacuum pump and the service port on the low side (larger pipe side) are needed to get rid of air and more important moisture out of high and low side copper pipes and the evaporator inside of the indoor unit before opening the 2 valves at the outdoor unit. There is a way to install it without using a vacuum pump but small amount of refrigerant will be lost into atmosphere. (The refrigerant R410a is supposed to be ozone layer safe.)

2. The low side's service port's fitting size is 5/16, it is not 3/8 nor 1/4. Many AC gauge kit comes only with 1/4 fittings), when buying AC gauge kit, make sure it supports R410a (R410a pressure is much higher than R22, R134a) , a 5/16 female to 1/4 male adapter was needed for me to finish the installation.

3. All cables and copper pipes (3/8 OD and 1/4 OD) that come with the unit are only 13ft(4m) long. If the distance between the indoor unit and the outdoor are longer than 13ft, more cables and copper tubes will be required.

4. Follow the simple instruction in the small installation manual. FYI: This was my first air condition unit installation ever, All the info on the internet definitely helped, but it's not complicated but please make sure to really tighten the high side fitting very tight, the R410a pressure is very high, vacuum leak check was useful to check any leaks around the fittings, i.e. if vacuum doesn't hold after turning off the vacuum pump and close the vacuum pump side valve, there is a leak.

5. When operating at full power(the compressor on and indoor unit fan at high setting), Kill A Watt is showing less than 960W (110VAC input)! The air coming out of the indoor unit duct is very cold, and the fan in the indoor unit is very quiet even at high setting. Outdoor unit large cooling fan is also quiet.

Although I just finished installation, I recommend this unit to anyone, I only hope it'll last long.

I hope this info helps.

p.s. I am planning to power this efficient AC unit by using solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries and DC-AC inverter, no grid power. Zero electricity bill for air conditioning sounds kind of cool :)

There is a reason that this product has almost all five star reviews. It works exactly as promised.

Installation is simple, the provided directions are very clear, and the necessary glue is provided. Just glue the plastic bracket to your shower tile (the back of the bracket has grooves labeled for where the glue goes, so you can't make a mistake), wait 24 hours, and you are good to go. Before you glue the bracket, I suggest putting the mirror on it to make sure you attach the bracket at the height that works best for you. If you are a little off, don't worry because the bracket has a built in swivel that lets you adjust the angle of the mirror. This is also handy for people of two different heights to use the mirror when they shower.

The mirror is not made of glass, but rather a reflective surface that is more than clear enough to shave if your face is within about 9" from the mirror. If you move away, there is a barely noticeable "fun-house" distortion (though you can still see clearly), which becomes noticeable only if you rock back and forth from the mirror. Since I doubt most people will do that while shaving, such distortion is a non-issue.

If you follow the simple directions of filling the reservoir in the back of the mirror with warm water when you turn your shower on, the mirror will not fog. And if you forget and the mirror does fog, then just fill the reservoir with water and the fog will disappear (I purposely did this to see what would happen if I let the mirror fog without water in the reservoir, and then filled it afterwards).

While you shower, water droplets will collect on the mirror surface instead of fog. This will not interfere with your ability to see well enough to shave. However, if they become excessive, the provided squeegee will easily remove them. NOTE: The squeegee works better than a towel, which tends to "smear" the droplets and not produce a clear surface for shaving.

Taking the mirror off, filling it with warm water, and slipping it back on are very easy. There is no need to worry about the mirror falling off, and no need to worry about fog.

Before I discovered this product, I used to use Fog-Tech (an excellent product that I have reviewed on Amazon) on a regular mirror, and it did work to prevent fogging for a few days at a time, after which another application was necessary. But this product is much simpler--all you need is warm water. I also no longer have to worry about rust forming on the base of a regular mirror that discolors my shower tiles.

Bottom line: For a fog free shaving experience this works great. I really like this product and recommend it.

Update October 23, 2010: The other day I forgot to empty the reservoir after I showered. The following day when I showered I was so interested in a radio program that I forgot about the mirror for the first five minutes. At that point it was totally fogged up, and when I removed it, I saw that there was still water in it from the day before. I dumped the water out, filled it, and also let shower water run down the face of the mirror. In less than 30 seconds the fog disappeared, and just one wipe of the squeegee cleared the excess water from the mirror, which was then nice and clear for shaving. It was like magic.

Update November 13, 2010: I'm always looking for shortcuts in using products. I did an experiment. I did not remove the mirror from the stand and empty the water. Instead I let it fog up with the old water in it. I then filled a 12 oz plastic mug with hot shower water and poured it in the already full reservoir, assuming that the warm water would displace the existing cold water. It took only two mugs full of water and the fog cleared.

So now when I take a shower, I just leave the mirror in place all the time, don't empty the water, and just pour warm water into the already full reservoir until the fog clears. This works great.

Update December 8, 2010: This is still working great, and is especially easy to use now that I have stopped removing it to empty the water. This is definitely the shower mirror to buy for shaving. For those who like to listen to the radio in the shower, I recommend the Sangean shower radio (which I have reviewed on Amazon) that I have been using for the past 16 months.

Update March 7, 2011: I have been using this for almost five months, and it still performs flawlessly.

I have read a recent negative review claiming that the mirror fogs up. This is clearly a case of "user failure" or a defective product (I suspect the former) since there is no way that this mirror will fog up if you put warm water in the reservoir before you shave.

I have also read a recent review that the squeegee does not remove every last drop of water, and that if you have hard water (I do) then calcium spots will develop on the mirror when the surface dries. True, but all I do is rinse them off each time I shower, so this is not really an issue.

Update May 23, 2011: I am still using this product without any problems. I got tired of using the plastic mug routine that I described above and now simply take the mirror on and off to empty and refill it. To make it easy to guide it back on, I use my forefinger to locate the slot on the wall bracket, and then just slip the tongue on the back of the mirror right into it. It's really effortless with a little practice. For a fog free shaving experience, this is definitely the way to go.

Update August 15, 2011. Still working fine. Taking the mirror on and off the bracket has become second nature to me, and now seems so easy and simple that I can't imagine why I ever thought that it was an issue that required a workaround, as I described in an earlier comment.

Update October 6, 2011: The company has now come out with a "deluxe" version that has a 20% larger surface area, battery operated LED lighting (two levels of brightness) around the edge, and a squeegee that works more effectively. It uses the same bracket as the original version. I received the new version at no cost from the company in exchange for writing a review, which I have posted on Amazon. Only you can decide if the "improvements" are worth an extra twenty dollars.

Update August 6, 2012: The company now has a compact travel version of this mirror, which you can also use for everyday use if you want a mirror that will attach without a bracket and glue (it uses rubber suction cups).

The Fogless Shower Mirror by ToiletTree is the Best Fogless Mirror on the Market. I have been waiting to write this review since I bought it July 5, 2010 on Amazon.com, but to give my review more credence I waited the recommended 30 days. First, this fogless mirror works perfectly. I have yet to see any fog develop on the mirror what so ever. It is lightweight plastic or similar. The mirror appears to be glass, but it is a high quality reflection without distortion (just a little). It is perfect for any task that you might perform in or out of the shower, but I use it to shave. If you have never shaved in the shower, I urge you to buy this mirror and start shaving in the shower for a closer and more comfortable shaving experience. It uses adhesives to attach to a shower wall. Follow the instructions carefully to mount the mirror mount to the shower wall. Once the mirror is mounted it is permanent, but you can adjust the viewing angle up or down. You must fill the reservoir with warm or hot water in order for the mirror to remain fogless. That is easy to do. Why I like this type of fogless mirror is the placement of the mirror in relationship to the shower stream. Other mirrors that attach to the shower/water pipe have you standing in and facing the shower stream. That type of mirror allows the water to splash in your face and eyes. The ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror allows you to mount the mirror anywhere in the shower that you please so pick your spot carefully as it is permanently mounted.

Update Dec 15, 2010

It's getting close to Christmas; this will make a great gift. I have had it nearly 6 months. It works as it promises.

Don't just buy it for your husband, see just how pretty you are. I tout this mirror because it is a product that does what it says, does it well, and it is affordable.

I had this product given to me as a gift several months ago and though I did like it at the beginning, it was a bit too large for my shower. It was a bit of a pain to assemble and in the end a bit too much work just to shave in the shower. Plus, for some reason the razor ledge wasn't very sturdy and I'd always be dodging falling mach3s.

I suppose my wife got a little sick of hearing that razor drop and my whining.

My wife just recently gifted this mirror to me (yes, she's great!)

As it has a sturdy razor hook, so I'm ecstatic about that, but now that it is

hanging it my shower, I think wifey bought it for me because the stainless

steel hooks look nicer. She's sneaky.

So in the end, I really liked the Toilet Tree Mirror and it definitely

will do the job you want, but for me it lacked a few essentials for my situation. The choice is yours.

Hope this helps.

Honest reviews on Fogless Shower Mirror with Squeegee by ToiletTree Products

Let me be honest here. The mirror doesn't fog up. It actually stays clear through out the entire hot shower/bath as long as you remember to fill up the reservoir with hot water.

Now, having said that, here's why I didn't give this mirror a 5 star rating:

First of all, the mirror is not glass, it is made entirely of plastic and because it is all plastic, the image is distorted, unless you are pretty close to it. This of course doesn't mean glass would be a better option, because if the mirror fell, you'd have broken glass all over the tub/floor. I'm simply stating that due to the fact that the mirror is "plastic" makes its reflection distorted.

Also, again, because it is plastic, the squeegee that comes with it left a long scratch mark on the left side of the mirror, the very first time I used it.

There's not option to hang the mirror or use suction cups; you must use the double sided tape and silicone provided with the unit, this creates a problem for those whom rent or simply do not want to leave any silicon/tape residue on their tile.

This unit, IMO, is not worth the $30+ price tag. $15 at the most, considering the issues I described above. Hope this helps.

With such a large selection of (so-called) fogless mirrors, it can be a bit tough to research what to look for exactly. Hopefully I can save you some time and offer some insight.

This particular mirror features the best design and all the best features. You can tell they put some real thought into it. Here's a few reasons why:

1. It uses hot water behind the mirror, which does a fantastic (arguably the best) job of keeping a mirror fogless. The mirror slides easily in and out of a relatively large U-shaped bracket. It just takes a second or two to fill the reservoir on the back with hot tub/shower water, and you're set it will not fog up! No kidding, from my own experience.

2. No suction cups, no crashing mirror. The mount uses relatively strong, semi-permanent adhesives; two square pieces of double sided tape (nearly identical to the mounting squares you see in hardware stores) and a generously sized tube of silicone. Both the silicone and tape have specifically marked places for use on the mounting bracket. Note, that while these are nice and waterproof, and much more reliable then suction cups, neither is permanent-permanent. Silicone is not super glue; it can be removed, along with the tape, without much fuss at a later time if desired.

3. The design is nice, clean, simple, and not too small. Form follows function. The reservoir widens nicely on top to make filling it easier. The shelf below is perfect for your razor, without any needless holding mechanisms. Other shower mirrors are rather small, this one is just the right size (imo) at 6.5in x 8.5in.

4. There's a nice, full-length rubber-y squeegee for wiping down the mirror. Any mirror will acquire drops from the spray while you shower. This squeegee cleans them off much better and more thoroughly then your own hands do. Take a look at the fourth and fifth pictures to get a good idea. The black handle slides horizontally into a compartment under the front shelf; the actual white squeegee part hangs down, which makes grabbing it and pulling it out easy.

5. Although irrelevant, even the way it was boxed/packaged was nicely done.

In summation, I rarely give items full stars with no criticism of any kind; even five-star items generally have some minor negative points. This is one of those rare items I simply cannot find fault with. I honestly can't think of any way it could be improved.

And although it can cost more then some other shower mirrors, these mirrors are all relatively inexpensive, anyway, so I don't see why that matters. Getting something this fantastic is well worth a few extra bucks.
