While the item shown and the description says it is a Holmes filter, what was shipped was a clone filter. It can work only if you pull the mounting clip of an old filter. While I suspect the filter will work, the vendor was certainly misleading in their description.

I bought a used humidifier, in rough shape at that, cleaned it up and replaced the filters and voila! The filters were exactly the right replacements I needed.

I installed this unit four weeks ago for the first time, I had ordered it late last year trying to get an apartment ready for my daughter. Installation per the instructions went very well and the unit began to cool the 750sqft apartment quite well in the Economy mode.

In less than two weeks, the unit quit working. The fan will blow however the compressor will not kick in or cool. I have had the wiring checked by an electrician and know there is no problem with the power to the unit. I am now faced with shipping this 120 pound item back to the factory at a cost of in excess of $150 if I want to have any warranty consideration. Not something I had hoped I would need to do with less than a month of use.

What has happened to quality with product today?

Update, 8 months later.

The factory sent me a brand new unit after I returned only the plug. It has performed well since that time thru the entire summer in Dallas Texas with temps in excess of 100 for several days. So far this winter the heater portion of the unit has worked equally well.

Based upon the new unit, I would increase my rating to at least 4 stars.

Thank you.

Reviews of Holmes Tower Quartz Heater (HQH308C-UM)

Customer Ratings:

We've been using an older Holmes Tower Quartz Heater at the office for eight years. That's right the same unit for eight years. It's still going strong. My boss and I sometimes covertly fight over who gets it, and coworkers are envious. So, when I decided to look for a space heater at home, I looked to a name and performace I knew and opted for this model, the HQH308C, under $50 at a local hardware store. My living room, which is open to the shotgun kitchen, measures about 12x18, kitchen excluded, and it does a decent job of warming the area. It does a fantastic job of warming me within 12 feet. Yes, the infrared heating is somewhat directional, but unlike regular radiant or forced air heaters, the quartz elements warm the objects in the room the floor, the wall, that cool desktop or cold leather sofa, that cold you as opposed to just warming the air. It feels a bit like sitting in front of a roaring fireplace, especially if you're too close and it's set on high. At work or home, we've never had to run one of these on high. We tried it once, but in a smaller space, you're quickly coming out of your cardigan and turning it down. Also, at the office, the building has forced air that NEVER stops, so heating the air is almost impossible since that air is quickly cycled out of the building and replaced. Because it primarily heats the objects in the room rather than the air, this little number makes all the difference, even in summer when the office temp has been (I kid you not) 55 degrees and all the windows were covered in condensation while we shivered. The drawback: coworkers would look for any excuse to hang out in front of my desk for as long as they could.

I like to be comfortable, especially at home, and don't want to spend my evenings bundled up for the sake of saving on utilities. This unit lets me set my thermostat to around 65 but still watch TV on the couch or whip up a quick cup of cocoa while barefoot and wearing short sleeves, which is just the way I like it. Last winter, having only the central heat (electric) meant heating the whole place when I spent most of my time in only half of my 700 square foot home, so evenings at 74 degrees meant some hellacious bills. This winter, it's going to be a LOT more affordable.

If you're looking for something you can put in a corner and aim at a general area, this heater will more than suffice. You can kick off your shoes, sprawl like it's still summer, and be truly comfortable. If you're looking for something that will make the space behind it equally toasty, then this is not the heater for you you'll need to warm the area air, which is not specifically what an infrared radiant heater is designed for. This is a great little heater, though, and I would recommend it (and have) to a friend.

We live in a rural area and our large home is heated by baseboard heaters utilizing oil to heat the water. Needless to say....very expensive right now. I work at home and my office is located at one end of a very large family room with a full wall of windows next to my work area. I thought if I could find an effective little heater, I could save money by setting the thermostat lower at least 3 or 4 degrees. I tried 3 other heaters all closely priced in comparison. One was a heater that blew hot air, but by the time the air got where it was going, it felt cold. The other type of heater was a floor baseboard radiant type without a fan. The third...just way too noisy, forget it! None of the three fans could raise the temperature in our large family room more than one degree. I had about given up when I was in Lowe's shopping for something else. I spotted this fan there and took out my handy iPhone and used my FANTASTIC Amazon app to scan the barcode and find the reviews. Even though there were only two...I liked what the reviewers had to say enough to give the fan a try. As my toes are toasty and I'm pushing up my sleeves from warmth while writing this, I have to say that this fan beats the others by a mile. I haven't received an electric bill yet, so I don't know how much of a difference it's going to make from that spectrum, but I'm returning the other crappy fans and I may purchase another Holmes for the master bedroom if the electric bill doesn't show a noticeable spike. Incidentally, using the Holmes, we can set our thermostat in the family room up to 5 degrees less than our desired heat level and the Holmes does the rest.

update...April 2012: we have now used this heater through its second winter and it's going strong. What with the high cost of fuel, I purchased another smaller Holmes heater early this winter to use upstairs in the bedroom and office. My electric bill hasn't shown much of a spike, but the two heaters...together with blocking off part of the house with thermal curtains has reduced our oil consumption significantly. I can't say enough about Holmes and the two heaters we have!

We've been using this heater for about 2 years and it works really well. We live in a very old house (about 90 years) with no central heat. Just a wood stove that doesn't heat the whole house. We run this heater and it keeps the living room and bedroom comfortably warm. The auto shut off feature is great since we have large dog tails swishing around that could knock it over. (Hasn't happened yet but you never know.) The only draw back is that it's a bit noisy. We will be adding an infrared heater this year and hopefully we won't have to use the wood heat as much. All in all, it was a good purchase for us and we are pleased with it. I would recommend it.

My family and I have used this heater to supplement the heat in our main room for about a year now. It has worked great until last night (1/29/12) when I smelt an electric fire smell coming from it. We immediately turned it off, but anyone with this type of heater needs to be very careful with it. Only use it while you are near it or you may catch your house on fire.

Seems like a great product and value. However, they made the shelves too close together. It does hold the smallest bottles of wine, but many "Standard" bottles (Dancing Bull, Rancho Zabbaco, etc) don't fit unless they are jammed in and then you can't get them back out without unloading the whole thing. Don't waste your time and get a model that is more versatile. As if insult to injury, the thermostat didn't work either but that was probably a fluke.

I bought this wine cooler after reading some good reviews. It was a complete waste of time and money, the wine cooler worked for about 4 hours and then this uncontrolled beeping noise would continueoulsy play. I unplugged the unit and tried resetting it but the noise was still there when I plugged it back in. I called the company and all they said was it might be the control board. How does a wine cooler die after 4 hours.

My boyfriend bought this wine refrigerator for me as a birthday gift on a total whim. It was a fantastic, unexpected present and has so far worked perfectly for me. I've never owned a wine cooler previous to this one, but I do live in a smaller apartment, so it's compact size is exactly what I needed. As another review stated, the shelves are kind of close together preventing the BIGGER wine bottles from fitting side-by-side, however all standard wine bottles will fit. I tend to buy the larger bottles of Barefoot Moscato, in which case I simply remove one shelf for the time being. Personally, I'm not at the point where I've collected dozens of wines and will RARELY have more than 12 bottles at one time to fill this fridge anyway. All in all, it's a fantastic product that chills wines perfectly and fits just about anywhere. :)

I had this wine cooler for about 6 months before the temperature control stopped working and would not go below 68 degrees. I thought maybe the room was too warm, so I refrigerated a few bottles to see if it would at least maintain the current temperature, but within a few hours, those bottles were warm as well.

I tried contacting Amazon, who pointed me in the direction of the manufacturer, who of course, did not bother responding.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend this product. I will never purchase from this manufacturer again.

I gave it 2 stars because it was relatively quiet and compact.

I used two of these this last spring, and I was extremely happy. My previous year, I used another system for heat, and I had problems with overheating and heat retention.

For those who reported problems with seedlings growing too fast or falling over and dying, I would like to know the larger picture--did you address the potential problem of damping off? And did you provide a grow light at the appropriate height?

I researched several options to address damping off, since that was a huge problem for me last year. I microwaved all of my moistened starting mix, roughly 10 minutes per 2 quarts of moistened soil. If you bake this in an oven, I recommend 30 minutes at roughly 350 degrees. I also bleached and washed any pots that had been previously used. After the seedlings emerged, I sprinkled cinnamon on the surface, and I had no problems with damping off. I was particularly concerned about damping off since there was quite a bit of condensation inside the domes. However, I cleared the condensation at least twice daily, and I did not lose any seedlings out of roughly 150 starts. This was on top of 100% germination, so I gave away lots of starts this year!

I used these for squash, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, eggplants, some flowers, soybeans, shiso, chard, and cucumbers. After transplanting starts into larger pots, I continued to use the heating pad and base for the larger pots. I also had simple fluorescent grow lights that I maintained at proper heights for the plants. You should keep the lights within 2" of the plants, or the plants will be reaching too far for light and will become spindly--a particular problem for tomatoes. For these units, you really need a 4-bulb grow light or the starts on the edges will not receive sufficient light. I had to search around but found a 4-bulb, 4' shop light for a grow light, and I was thrilled with the coverage over these units. No need to buy "grow lights", just alternate cool and warm wavelength fluorescent bulbs.

Because of an unusually cold spring and early summer, I kept my peppers and eggplants inside until mid-June, and a few of them were already blooming and looking extremely healthy. The tallest were roughly 8" tall. The heating pads were wonderful for the peppers and eggplants in particular, but I know the squash also germinated much better because of the heat.

I strongly recommend not using the seed starting mix that is designed for peat pots, unless you use the peat pots in your units. If you use the peat pot starting mix, it will fall all over the place and away from the roots when you pull out your seedlings to transplant them.

Sure, you can make something similar to this with off-the-shelving parts, but I am not commenting on alternatives, just commenting on performance of this system. I highly recommend it but only if you provide appropriate grow lights and address potential damping off.

Although it may seem a little over priced, it is the convenience that you pay for. The product is exactly what it shows, a plastic tub with a plastic top, plastic dirt moldings, and a heating pad. If you think about the price of the heating pad that fits perfectly with the container, it is well worth the while.

In addition, I have had success with this product. I grow indoor coffee, and I have received a much quicker germination rate; as well as being healthier. Furthermore, it gives you great control of not only temperature, but humidity. In my opinion, that is a major plus.

First, when the package says it comes with an insert, that means the 72-cell tray you put potting mix in, not the potting mix itself.

Second, you're supposed to take the clear plastic lid off once your plants germinate. That's why there's no room for the seedlings to grow under it. (Though the packaging does feature a tray full of robust seedlings under the lid, which may confuse people who can't be troubled to read the instructions.)

With that out of the way, this product does exactly what it promises. The heat mat warms the tray a bit, but not too much. The tray's cells are the right size for tiny seedlings, the kind that need a heat pad, and soft enough that you can pop the seedlings out without much effort.

The whole contraption fits perfectly under the Hydrofarm JSV2 2-Foot Jump Start T5 Grow Light System. If you buy a Hydrofarm TM01715D 7-Day Digital Program Timer, you can plug both the light and the heat mat into it to have the 14-hour light-warm/dark-cool cycle most seedlings enjoy. These three products together make a great indoor seed starting set-up.

For a backyard farmer or gardener who needs to start a bunch of seeds at once, this will do the job.

Honest reviews on Hydrofarm CK64050 Germination Station with Heat Mat

This item is essentially a plastic base and clear top (very flimsy) with a heating pad that the base sits on. It's adequate for starting plants from seed, but my main complaint is that for what you get, it's way too expensive. I believe a fair price for this item would be around $20, NOT $40. If you do decide to purchase a germination station like this one, buy the one with the taller top it doesn't take long before the new plants start running into the 2" tall lid.

I bought this kit because of the price was about $40 and there was no shipping charge. Now I am just using the heat mat and tray to coax fig cuttings to root. Late winter I will reinsert the planting cell tray and the clear lid to germinate other small cuttings and garden vegetables. The station and mat are standard size and weight. The mat provides good even heat and seems tough enough to last a long time.

My fiancee says it was really easy to cut. He said he laid an old filter on top of the new one, to get started. He then put the frame together (adjusted it to the appropriate notches indicated on the frame), and then, before cutting anything, slid it into the furnace slot to test it. Once he was *sure* he had the frame to the right size, then he measured (against that frame) and cut the cross-hatch part, and then he measured (against the frame) and cut the guts (filtering part). measure twice, cut once

We don't have animals or an old house and we keep our home generally clean, and this filter seems to work great. With the climate where we live being either extremely cold or extremely hot and humid and the air quality and cleanliness outside being questionable, we run our whole-house HVAC often. This filter states a good rating (MERV 8) and a 5-year lifespan. According to an interesting furnace filter care site I found via google, MERV runs from 1-16, with ratings of 5-8 considered "better" filters. Of course, a filter is only as good as its maintenance (ease of which and therefore, consistency of which) and we find it makes more sense to clean this filter than to continually "invest" in throw-away ones, which need to be disposed of and replaced, at a cost. The "care"/cleaning of this filter is fairly easy. To clean, he chooses a day when we aren't running the furnace or a/c (same filter). He takes the filter outside, sprays each side with water from the hose and shakes it off. He has also sprayed it with thyme-based disinfectant (seventh generation makes a nice one). After waiting a few minutes for max effectiveness, he hoses the filter off again. He then lays the filter in the sun, both to dry and because UV rays kill some bacteria. Someone told me this a while ago and then I found air and water purifiers and surface sanitizers here on amazon that use UV light, and I even have a little travel UV light for hotel rooms (remotes, doorknobs, etc.). I just googled "UV rays kill bacteria" and found an interesting ehow article on it.

Once it is clean and dry, sometimes, he's lightly misted the filter with essential oils (tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, etc.), and allowed it to air dry for a minute before putting it back in. Then, when our furnace/AC runs, it blows beneficial vapors of Essential Oils throughout the house, helping to cleanse the air and uplift the spirits :) If you choose to do this, please do your due diligence on essential oils, their properties, contraindications, and usage (especially if you're pregnant, have epilepsy, high blood pressure, or are otherwise sensitive or considered physically at risk). And, always buy pure essential oils and not "perfume" or "fragrance" oils, which may have unhealthy additives. Pure EO's may cost a little more, but a few drops of pure essential oil goes a long way. I just googled "essential oil spray recipes" and found an interesting article on food dot com. You can just use a few drops of one essential oil in a reused (thoroughly washed) glass spray bottle with some distilled water, and keep the spray for room freshening purposes. I travel with a spray bottle for long car trips or hotel stays. If you: care enough about the air in your home, are looking for eco products, or are looking to save money, to buy this sort of a filter, then you might also be interested in these additional ways to "freshen" the air, wherever you are!

Another tip: if you have the money and so desire, buy two of these filters. That way, if there is a time when you cannot stop running your furnace long enough, or don't want to go outside, (blizzard conditions, extended heat wave, etc.) or don't have a utility sink, you can keep a fresh one on hand and pop it in and clean the other one when you can (storing it in a reused plastic bag, of course).

PROS:

reusable (save $, resources, trips to the store, & no having to store replacements)

5-year lifespan (limited lifetime guarantee)

easy to assemble

easy to clean

made from recycled plastic

recyclable

MERV 8 (filters out pollen, dust, & dander, as per them)

could potentially put your own filter media (guts) into the frame, for customized filtering

ability to add EO's without causing saturation, as with a paper-based filter

CONS:

assembly required (albeit easy)

cleaning required (again, easy)

not a carbon filter (personal preference, it's also not a BMW, haha)

I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)

Like most of you, I went searching for a cheaper and more environmentally friendly solution to replacement furnace filters. I have always kept my old filters around for a few months after usage just to monitor the dirt collection. I installed this easily without any cutting. At the end of month one, I placed it in the tub to see what had been collected and I watched the water coming off the filter. What I saw was that the water looked much too clear considering what I had been picking up in the past. Months two and three looked the same with no noticeable dirt in the tub. There seemed to a great deal of dust on the furniture all the sudden, yet another indication these were not doing their job. I went back to try my filtrete micron filters for a month which I used to change every 2 to 3 months and found the filter completely filthy at the end of that month. As I said, these are typically 3 month filters. I also recently had my furnace serviced and the repairman told me not to use these eco filters as they don't filter anything and end up clogging the system because all the dirt accumulates at the bottom of the furnace. I normally don't believe everything I'm told, however this time I had real proof.

First, the facts: the census estimate for # of U.S. households in 2010 was 114,825,428 (interpolate upwards as this review was written in 2012).

Conservative assumptions...

Assume: 66% have central air/heat

Assume: 2.5 air intakes/home

Assume: $5/filter

Assume: 4 filter changes/year

With these low-ball assumptions, we are talking a $3.8 BILLION a year in "subscription fees" for the replacement filter industry. Do you honestly think that the one-star reviews here were made by anyone other than agents of this racket? Caveat Emptor.

That said, I HAVE used these filters for over a decade, and here is my opinion.

PROs

1. They do an excellent job of filtering. Not as good as the high-end* HEPA filters, but they do get the grime, smoke, dust, pollen, hair out of the air that is circulating through your house.

2. On a cost-basis, it's a no-brainer. Within a year of installing these, they will have paid for themselves.

3. Environmentally, much, much less waste. Imagine the sheer amount of landfill waste used up by disposable filters. Not that I'm any sort of tree-hugger; rather, I'm a conservative who actually likes to conserve.

CONs

1. They can be a pain to assemble. You will need some powerful scissors/plier-cutters to cut the grid down to the size of your filter boxes. Expect about a half-hour of work per filter.

2. Cleaning is work. Either in the tub with a faucet-hose, or in your yard with the garden-hose, you'll need to give these things a good amount of blasting to get all the filth out. For this, about 15 minutes per filter.

Conclusion

If you lead a busy life and don't want the hassle of doing something like this on your own, then by all means: sign yourself up for the lifetime subscription to the filter industry. For the rest of us, this is an excellent way to save money and conserve.

Hope this helps!

* Amazingly, the high-end HEPA filters have problems of their own:

1. Cost one disposable HEPA can cost as much as one of these re-usables. Unless you are running a clean-room, fabricating semiconductor chips, this is absolutely NUTS!

2. Air Handler Failure because the HEPA is not letting enough air through, it can cause your Air Handler to overwork. There is quite a bit of documentation on the danger of HEPA to your AC system just look it up on the web.

Recently got this as an alternative to the replaceable filters that you have to change out and throw away after 3 to 6 months. These filters work great and have a lifetime warranty. They filter as good if not better than the regular throw away filters and they help save the enviroment from waste too. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the price. These are pricey as an initial purchase as compared to the throw aways but considering you should never have to replace it, it will make up for in time. Just make sure you clean them regularly.

I bought two of these Dry Guy Boot Dryers and have been very happy with their performance. I play a lot of sports, and in the summer especially my shoes become drenched with sweat. Without a dryer it would take several days for my shoes to dry completely, and as a result I was always playing in wet stinky shoes -even though I was rotating 3 or 4 pairs (I play a lot!). Now after I get off the court I stick them on the Boot Dryer and after 3 6 hours they are usually totally dry, and ready for my next game. I can't imagine how I got by without a dryer before. I do have a few suggestions for changes that would make this a 5 star product. First, the timer has a max setting of around 3 hours. For damp shoes this is okay, but for soaked shoes, like mine usually get, 3 hours is not enough time, so I find myself having to reset the timer to get them completely dry. It is a bit of a hassle, especially at night when I am not awake to reset the timer. A simple on/off switch would be a great help. Or a moisture sensor of some kind. My second suggestion would be to make the unit a little bit bigger. I have size 13 shoes and it is hard to get two pairs onto the dryer in such a way that the heel part of the shoe is dried quickly. Otherwise, this is a great product and I usually have two of them going on any given day. I would certainly recommend it!

Update: 5 years later 2013 Everything I said before. DryGuy is still going strong. Kids are older now, but now after going in the snow they put their own boots and gloves on it. The waterproof gloves that you can't get the inside dry using the dryer, this also works well on those too. The dry guy is simply that appliance you never knew you needed. Awesome!

Feb 2008 Review:

I have two kids 5 & 7 in New England. After we had our January thaw I knew I needed to do something. Both my kids have two pairs of snow boots that are "mostly" water proof, except when it comes to total submersion in puddles. After a few days of thaw both sets of boots were wet. And since they are mostly water proof I couldn't dry them out overnight, and that was even after letting them sit on the radiator. The next step was to break out a hair dryer and that sort of worked except my Sons boots really stunk. Pew And that still didn't do it because I wasn't willing to put in the hour or so that I would have needed. My experience with water proof gloves and the dryer told me that wouldn't work either because the outside dries, but the fingers remain wet.

I looked at local sporting good stores and they had a few different kinds of boot dryers. One for campers that uses propane and another convection one. Overall junk.

I finally decided on the DryGuy because it had good reviews. The one I ordered from Amazon was the standard body though I was looking for the wide body, but to my pleasant surprise the wide body your millage may very.

Once I unpacked it I was surprised that it was so small. It looked about two times larger in the picture my mind had painted. I set it up and put it on top of the dryer next to the washing machine so it would be out of the way and have a close power cord. Then I waited for another thaw as my wife made fun of me for spending so much.

The thaw came except this time we never ran out of boots. I never had two wet at any one time. My son came in with boots that were literally dripping wet from the inside. A little over two hours later for excessively wet boots and they were dry again. This thing rocks!!! One morning before school I noticed that no one had dried the boots. I stuck them on the DryGuy and went about getting everyone ready. Right before school toasty dry boots. By the way, the stink is gone as well. I'm sure that was from never getting them dry enough or taking too long to dry them in the past.

My wife has also been convinced. She was skeptical, but has been very impressed. Two things have changed for us with the DryGuy.

1. We don't keep a drying rack anymore for gloves and mittens. Stick one pair of wet gloves on with a pair of boots. It works excellent on gloves.

2. We will only need to buy one pair of better quality boots next season, since we had to buy two just to have a spare. We will eventually pay for the DryGuy in boot and glove savings. Ditto with not needing three pairs of gloves.

I have not used other boot dryers, but I'm sure this is the Cadillac of boot dryers after using it. It has literally just become and appliance for us. Meaning we don't think about it or question how well it works. It simply works.

I've used the DryGuy for about a month to dry my surfing booties that always seemed to smell like week old road kill. I first tried a shoe dryer that does not have a fan but works by convection and that seemed to create the perfect environment for stinky bacteria. So far, DryGuy has worked great though I can't find my booties by smell any more. One caveat though, the heater is not so strong that it will dry your booties quickly in a cold garage so it is much more effective if used indoors.

Honest reviews on DryGuy Wide-Body Boot and Glove Dryer

My husband and son took this DryGuy on a recent snowboarding trip, and both came home raving about it. Great for wet gloves OR for snowboarding boots. That's why I chose this model, in fact. Some dryers can only be used on boots. We wanted something that could dry both.

My only recommendation is that if you need it for more than 4 or 5 people, you probably want to get the DryGuy model that can dry more equipment at the same time to avoid switching them out constantly.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DryGuy Wide-Body Boot and Glove Dryer

We use the DryGuy Boot Dryer nearly every day. Although it is a little spendy it works great for drying boots, shoes, gloves and other things. It would be even better if it was a little heavier so that it wouldn't require careful balancing of heavy boots to prevent it from toppling over and if it had air vents further down on the drying posts for more thorough drying of items open at the top (like knee braces). And while most items dried just fine in three hours using the heat setting, it would be nice if it had an "on" setting for things needing a longer drying time (such as when drying thick items without heat).

There was some misunderstanding with delivery and the company never reported back :( Luckily the Fireplace was found by storage personel on the transit base and sent to me. The product is awesome and really makes a difference here on this base I'm stationed. A little piece of civilization on a place far far away from the real world ;) I'd like to enclose a photo, but no feat. to do so :(
