The towel warmer installed easily and is very solid. It isn't cheap looking or feeling. It actually looks very nice. BUT I am disappointed at the warming ability. I expected the towels to be nice and toasty when I get out of the shower. But they are just slightly warm and really only right in the center where the towel folds over the bar. I put the towel on the bar the night before and have tried snaking it through the warming bars every way I can but the towel is still only marginally warm. So while it is nice to have and looks great in the bathroom I renovated, I am disappointed in the performance. If I had it to do over, I guess I would spend a little more and get a bigger towel warmer that would warm the towels up better.

I love this mattress pad!

My husband and I have an adjustable split king bed he has ALS, and needs the adjustments to assist with transferring in and out of bed and helping to make breathing easier... He is alway hot, and I am always cold. It is difficult to find things that fit our bed we need twin XL fitted sheets, and Cal. king blankets.. This twin XL mattress pad is perfect! I have it on my half of the bed husband doesn't need the heat at all. I set it on high about 5 minutes before getting into bed, then turn it all the way down to low or level 2 for a warm and toasty night. It has transformed my night experience!

If you have a twin XL-sized bed and want warmth, this is the pad to have. It fits a Twin XL bed perfectly and would fit a VERY deep mattress, if need be. The one thing I do not like is that the skirt around the sides is a pretty flimsy material, but since I plan on using another mattress pad over this one, to pad the wires more and keep it clean, I won't be removing/washing it too often, as I would the regular mattress pad. I pre-heat the bed on high, for a few minutes and then lower the temp to low(1) or 2, which I find to be perfectly warm all night long. You can feel the wires some through the pad, but I solved this problem by placing my regular mattress pad over this one. The included controller looks nothing like the one in the picture. So far, no durability issues. I will update, if I have any.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Twin XL Heated Mattress Pad

This mattress pad is great! We replaced another older heated mattress pad and this new one gets warm pretty fast within 5-10 minutes and can get almost too hot if it's left on High. It's so nice to get into a warm, toasty bed. This Sunbeam pad is highly recommended compared to other brands.

Ordered this mattress pad to put on our split-king Sleep Number Bed. The twin-XL fits each mattress well and quality is very good. Warms quickly and keeps you nice and toasty! Auto shut-off is a nice feature. Definitely worth the price.

After a couple of attempts to get one that actually works (not from Amazon), we've given up. The first one we got never bothered to stop the cooking process until the lever was forced up. The rice burned every time. Returned. The button on the second one we got never wanted to stay down and cook. Returned. The same with the third attempt... ugh!! We're just using it temporarily now until we find a better model. We use scotch tape to hold down the lever to cook it and use an egg timer to estimate the cooking time. What a waste of time, effort, and money. Very disappointed since I've always thought of Oster as a good brand name kitchen product. Wish I could give it zero stars. :(

We got this as a wedding gift. It wasn't the one we put on our registry. It burns the rice every time and I've followed the instructions to a T several times.

Also, the pot and steamer tray are only dishwasher safe in the fact that they won't rust. However, they will discolor after the first wash. There really should be a warning about that in the manual. I specifically read the cleaning instructions before I ever put it in the dishwasher.

This rice cooker does meet your basic needs. It's very easy to use. However, we found something really weird about it. First, it produces some plastic burning smell every time we use it. Second, it beeps when the rice is done, which is good. But somehow, the beep/whistle won't stop until we unplug the power. It's pretty odd since once the power is unplugged, how do you suppose to keep the rice warm??

Honest reviews on Oster 4731 Rice Cooker and Food Steamer, White

Let me first say that I live at high altitude (over 5000 feet) so that might contribute to my issues.

First, if I cook 2 cups of rice or less the bottom always scorches, which I can live with. Forget about making one cup of rice, half of it ends up as a toasted crust.

The big issue is that it boils too rapidly and uncontrollably so that the escaping steam exceeds the capacity of the vent in the lid. This causes the lid to rattle and condensed water to spray all over the counter. I have to put a towel on it or under it to soak up the mess every time I run it. It sprays more than a quarter cup of water all over my counter. I would not recommend this appliance to anyone unless you like to clean up a big wet mess every time you use it.

Great rice cooker, doesnt take up too much space on the counter. Easy to use. I like the way it cooks white rice best. Brown rice and whole grains like wild rice seem to be not cooked as well. Might be me not using it properly but I do what the instructions say.

I bought this AC unit during the excess heat wave this summer. The unit, (once properly vented) works really well for cooling my bed room but it shuts off when the water needs drained. Durning these hot temperatures this is after only 2-2.5 hrs. Draining the water is not an easy task because the drain is only 1 inch from the floor so you can only use a really really shallow dish. It does come with a hose to connect to a drain for continous drainage but the drain must be below or at the same level as the AC unit.

This drainage problem makes the unit NOT useful for long term cooling (you can't run it all night or use it to cool while at work)

As a long term solution I am working on buidling a stand to set the unit on for continous drainage into a bucket but it is heavey and vibration makes noise a problem. Other portable AC unit have a collecting bottle which is easy to revome for drainage.

I bought my Sunpentown in May of 2005. When it arrived the LED display was broken and the 12,000 BTU air conditioner was not capable of cooling my 150 square foot room. I called Sunpentown and explained the situation. They said that as long as the output temperature was 20% cooler than the input temperature the unit was considered to be functioning properly.

Do the math. If your room is 95 degrees, a 20% reduction means that the air coming out of the AC is still a sweltering 78 degrees! A 12,000 BTU air conditioner should turn my tiny room into a meat locker, even on the hottest days. The Sunpentown struggled to make the room comfortable anytime the temperature exceeded 80 degrees. Since the LCD was broken I decided to have them replace my unit hoping that I might get a better one. The second unit worked as poorly as the first, but at least the LCD was visible.

As others have noted, drainage is a constant issue with these units. Mine would only run for 3-4 hours before drainage was required so I wound up putting it on a stand and running a hose from the discharge area to a 5 gallon bucket. There is simply too much water produced for it to successfully blow out the exhaust hose. It should be noted that my unit only had 1.5 feet of exhaust hose with no bends so it was an ideal installation. If you have any bends in the hose it will only make matters worse.

In August 2006 the unit quit cooling the air. The compressor would kick on, but no cooling occurred. I called Sunpentown but since my unit was 3 months over the 1 year warranty they wouldn't do anything. My only option was to ship the unit to their facility at my cost, have them diagnose and repair the unit at "flat rate" (but they wouldn't discuss specific prices) and ship it back to me at my expense.

Not wanting to incur $175 in shipping charges PLUS the unspecified repair fees just to return my Sunpentown Portable Air Conditioner to its unacceptably poor level of functionality I sent my unit to a place it truly belongs THE LANDFILL.

If a normal window unit won't work for you, save yourself a lot of money/time/aggravation and buy a giant industrial size fan. Sunpentown builds lousy products and provides lousy service when those products fail.

My experience with a Supentown Portable AC Unit is very similar to what 'Thorion (Rome, NY)' reported. I purchased a WA-1200E in June 2006 and it died last week (end of June 2007). This unit was lightly used (less than 10 hours per week during warm months only) . I contacted their support staff and, although they were prompt to reply, they indicated that the unit was out of warranty and that nothing was covered. They gave me the option of shipping the unit (85 lbs) at my own expense back to their warehouse in CA. They would then determine what part(s) failed and charge me for the replacement parts, labor and return shipping. Their other suggestion / advice was to take it to a local repair shop of my choice and have them find out the problem...then order the replacement parts from them. Either way....TERRIBLE! For a costly unit like this it should last way longer than 12 1/2 months. DO NOT BUY!!!

Honest reviews on SPT WA-1230E 12,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

I was shocked at how useless this thing was. I would turn this unit on immediately when I come home from work. The initial reading on the unit would say something like 95% (house was all closed up). The unit could not even drop the room temperature below 90%. After about 1hr the exhaust hose would radiate so much heat into the room that the unit made a better heater than air conditioner. The vents blow upwards as if to cool the ceiling. You cannot adjust them vertically. The unit is also very loud.

I returned the unit after giving it a try for about 3 weeks. The other pain is returning this. You have to put it back in the box it came in with all the paper work and then carry this 85 pound box to a fedex place to have it shipped back to the manufacturer. You have to pay shipping to send it back and you are not refunded that amount. Plus there is a 6% restocking fee.

Good riddance.

I bought this product in the summer of 07. I live in a room over the garage that gets the brunt of the sun and therefor reaches 78-80 degrees even with the AC on. At first the unit after running for a couple hours would drop the temp to 72 on a summer day but no lower. The first spring/summer I did not have to change the water at all. The next spring/summer it could only drop the temp down to 73-74 and I had to change the water 5-6 times. Now only less than 3 years later we are in the midst of our first 80 degree week. The unit is only dropping the temp to 75 and I've had to change the water twice in two days.

Please read everyone's review about how hard it is to change the water. I can confirm every complaint.

If I had to do it over I would have gone another route towards cooling my room.

This in-wall digital timer is definately an upgrade from the old rotary timers I grew up with. However, installation is a little difficult as its size is as large as the common in-wall mounting box leaving very little room for the wires and connectors. I definately recommend this product though if you are confident in installation or are paying someone to install it for you.

1. The product is solid built;

2. It handles CLF light good because it uses a real mechanical switch to turn on/off the light. I can hear it sounds a tiny click within one foot in distance.

3. Its "random" feature makes its time control more like a "manual control": say you want your lights on at 7:00PM, by choosing the random feature, your light will be on between 6:45PM and 7:15PM randomly.

4. The display is too small for old people.

After searching, I found the timer that will work with LED lights. Works great and was easy to install. One thing is that timer is large (deep) so will be very tight if your junction box is not full size. Many exterior walls against concrete block walls (CBS) use smaller boxes. It will fit but there is not a lot of extra room.

Purchased this unit a few weeks ago to cool a small office room (about 120sf). I was skeptical when I bought it because I was unsure how well portable AC units could be. The unit works really well and is very nice looking. The blowers are somewhat loud but given the small size of my room that is to be expected. It's not annoying loud. My only complaints were the poor documentation regarding the drainage. There are two drainage outlets. The upper one requires a garden hose attachment. This is only required if you are using the unit in the dehumidifier mode (which I am not). The instructions about this one were clear. The second drainage port is very small at the bottom of the unit. There were no specific instructions about this. It has a soft rubber cap. Once a day I place a shallow tin (pie tin) and drain the water. This is really important otherwise you will have a leak on your floor. Ideally you would hook up some type of small tube to drain. The only problem is that this drain is only about an inch above the floor which makes draining somewhat clumsy.

You do need to vent the unit and it comes with a good length, expandable, 6" thick plastic vent tube. I believe it stretches to 6 feet. Also comes with a window adapter.

Aside from the drainage issue, the unit seems very well made and works wonderfully. Comes with a remote control which I have not used.

WARNING-

There is NO REASON to drain the water from the bottom outlet during normal conditions.

Modern portable units REUSE the condensation water to their advantage (for evaporative cooling). The only time you would drain is if you need to move the portable system.

BACKGROUND-

My house has central air, but my computer room gets hot on it's own, and central air doesn't kick in since the average house temperature isn't hot enough for it to kick in. So the solution? Get an air conditioner for just the computer room. I have a vertical sliding window, and that makes getting an affordable window air conditioner quite difficult. I settled for this portable AC.

INSTALL-

Installation of the window pane didn't take too long, and was generally easy. Only issue is that although the pane was more than long enough (maximum length of 48.5"; minimum of 26.6"), the amount of non-adhesive and adhesive seal was insufficient to make rounds around the window, resulting in gaps for outside air to freely come in, as well as potential bugs.

Another issue is that the window pane has holes on it for screws that I'm not using (since this is meant for both vertical and horizontal window panels; so I'm not using the horizontal screws), and again, this will result in the outside air to freely come in, as well as potential bugs.

Both issues are solved by getting more seal, and/or taping it up.

Note that sound and heat/cold radiation will be more with this window pain, since it's just one sheet, as opposed to double-panel windows, which insulate very well.

In addition to the window kit, an L-shaped metal hinge is included so that you can block the window from sliding, since you can't lock your window anymore (for vertical sliding windows), for security.

ACCESSORIES-

The duct is of better quality than I imagined. It's very hard, and will not crinkle easily, and can do tight turns (although this is not recommended in the manual). It however does not come with any insulating material, so you may want to get a cover for it to insulate the heat better. The duct ranges from 15" to 55" in length.

The remote is also of better quality than I imagined. It has a small LCD display with backlight that shows the current settings, and you can change any of these settings using it. I expected a non-LCD remote with just buttons on it. It uses 2 AAA batteries, of which are included.

COOLING-

It cools. Very well. Outside temperature is 70F, house temperature is 77F, room temperature was 89F while installing this unit. After about an hour, room temperature is down to 75F, of which I am happy of (and will keep around there).

This unit features fan-only mode and cooling mode, with cooling mode having two options: manual and auto. Manual, you control everything, fan speed and temperature. Auto, it controls it by itself to get it down to the temperature you want it at, and keep it there (so if it's hot, it will blast the fan at full 'till it gets to lower temperature, then start using slower fan speed for quieter operations).

It also features sleep-mode, in addition to timers, which increases the temperature every half hour for 7 hours, then decreases it back to what you set it at (so you can save energy by not using it as much when you're asleep).

Power consumption, in the manual, says it uses 8.4-9.1A @ 115V input, and estimates a power usage of 560 Watts for cooling.

Note: Fan is on at all times if the device is on, presumably to take advantage of the evaporative cooling, so it will never be silent as long as it's on. Be sure to take this into account if you're planning on using this in the room you sleep in.

I bought this unit for my 180 sq ft home office which needs more cooling power than our central unit can deliver. The room has 3 large east-facing windows which receive full sunlight for at least 4 hours each morning in the summer. It also contains a workstation-class laptop computer, 2 22" monitors, an external hard drive, and several pieces of networking hardware.

With the doors closed this room easily reaches 85 degrees by noon each day in the summer (even with the window blinds closed), while the central AC maintains the rest of the house at 78 degrees.

The first full day I used this unit I left it off and the office doors and blinds closed until 10 AM when the room had reached 84.6 degrees. After running full-blast for 1 hour the room temperature had dropped to just 78.9 degrees and never dropped below 78 degrees until the windows were shaded.

If you have a medium-sized home office this unit will provide more than enough cooling power to negate the effects of your electronics, but if you don't already have central AC you will need a bigger unit.

Keep in mind that the 5000 BTUs of cooling provided is enough to balance out the effects of about 15 100W light bulbs (each bulb produces 341 BTUs of heat per hour). You can calculate the wattage of other electronic devices by multiplying their power source voltage * amps (the wattage is sometimes provided by the manufacturer in the user manual).

Also keep in mind that this is a single-hose unit which creates negative air pressure in the room where it operates. This causes some air to be drawn from other parts of the building to balance the pressure. If you need a portable unit as your primary cooling source you should look for a two-hose unit that maintains a more neutral air pressure.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA053PU1 5,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

We got this for my daughter's room, which gets hotter than most of the house, despite having only an eastern and a northern exposure. On a moderately hot day, in the 80s, it will keep her room comfortable. But if it's in the 90s (when she needs it most!), it just can't keep up. When the temperature was in the mid to upper 90s, the best we could get in her room was 84. And this is a very, very small room (less than 100 square feet). Maybe I'm expecting too much. But sometimes the air blowing out doesn't even feel cold.

On the positive side, it's reasonably quiet (for this type of unit), it doesn't make strange noises (as these units often do), it's simple to operate and easy to install, and it's certainly a lot better than not having any AC at all. But if you often have days in the 90s or higher, I would recommend that you get an AC unit with a higher BTU rating, even if you are only cooling a small space. Conventional window air conditioners are not allowed where we live (so I'm grateful for this type of AC unit), but if they are an option for you, they are much, much more efficient than portable ACs.

UPDATE: After just a couple of months, the unit completely quit working, so I've lowered my rating from three stars to one.

Don't know what the other bad reviewers are talking about. I got my unit today and it works fine. Put it in the computer room and set the temperature to 75 and in less than 20 minutes the room was cold.

There are five modes: Cooling (AC), Heating, Dry (dehumidifier), Fan & Auto mode. Only the Cooling mode blows cold air and you need to set the machine to it first. Unless the other one-star reviewers actually have a defective unit I assume they are not setting the machine correct.

Pros: 1. Wheels are smooth and did not scratch my hardwood floor, a concern of mine as this weighs about 40 pounds.

2. Blows cold air in under a minute

3. Has a big handle at the top of the unit for easy rolling PLUS two side handles for easy lifting up and down stairs. Sweet!

4. Simple intuitive user interface and the remote is just as nicely designed, too.

Cons: 1. It's big at 28" high & 16" wide. Imagine a large window mounted AC sideways and this is what you got. I thought it'd be as big as a paper trash bin but it's more like a kitchen trash can.

2. The hose from the back of the machine to the window is huge. The machine itself is sleek but the hose going to window won't win any beauty contest.

Not a pro or con but it's as loud as every other AC I ever owned, meaning it quickly becomes background static after a few minutes.

Coclusion: I finally bought a portable AC because come summertime I hated the fact that I lose a window, and sunlight, in the computer room and bedroom. I'm glad I picked this up and my sister is getting one for her home, too.

I bought one at a log home show in Essex Jct., VT two years ago. These heaters will maintain temperature and raise it within reason. They are very efficient. If you do not have humdtity up there, I believe 40%, then you should purchase the larger model that has a built in humidifier. The heat travels through the moisture. These heaters are not intended to replace a much larger heat source such as central heating or a wood stove that can raise temperature from below freezing to comfortable room temperatures. They do an excellent job of holding temperature and raising it within a much narrower range which most purchasers will find quite satisfactory. Remember its only 1500 watts maximum. That make for very inexpensive heat. With oil and gas costing as much as electricity this is a much more efficient route. If you heat the areas you are using rather than from wall to wall that alone will save you about 25% in heat. In Europe they only use focused heat because energy supplies are so expensive. Many large building like churches are not heated at all.

Before I purchased one I had already checked them all out. This is a well established firm that builds high quality highly rated products on the high end.

The air purifier which is part of the unit is worth as much as the heater so how can you lose.

I use my heater in the quiet mode and seldom turn it up. Most of the time its supplies all the heat for the ground floor, 865 s.f. but the bedroom doors are closed when not in use. The first month I used it our electric bill went up $18.00.

You will find the heat to be exceedingly comfortable for an electric heater. The heater its self hardly get warm. If you are willing to follow my advice you should purchase one and see if you like it. You will. If you are expecting to use it differently you may need to go for central heating. Use the product as it was designed to be used. Leave the furnace off. If you want more even heat than purchase two or three heaters but if they are running all the time expect to pay for it. I'm going to purchase another heater this year for room down stairs in my finished basement with an exposed wall. Unless your are on natural gas, the days of cheap energy are over. Almost anyone can do this easily and safely.

The Honeywell HZ-3750WP digital ceramic heater is a cheezy bit of silliness. Having lived with a cold bathroom for many years and worn out many small electric heaters, I can say from experience that this model is not worth the trouble. It irritates me that heater manufacturers rarely mention the fact that their heaters have a fan. A fan is a complete waste of money for a bathroom heater. Like most other heaters of this type, the fan is not mentioned anywhere; not on the box, not in the Amazon description. The important thing is to heat you, not the room. Air circulation is not all that important.

So, what is the best small room heater design? Your best bet is a quartz or carbon rod heater with no fan. This design is much like standing in front of a nice warm fire. All of the electricity goes into the heat. The fan does almost nothing and is just a waste of wattage. Standing in front of a pure radiant heater, even if the rest of the room is cold, you are toasty warm. I do believe the consumer product rating organizations agree with me on this.

The important thing is to heat you, not the room. This little bummer is only moderately effective in reaching that goal.

Good unit to warm up a seldom used area for the holidays. Since it is not vented I definitely recommend a dehumidifier be run at the same time, since propane contains a lot of water vapor when burning it tends to condense on any colder surface ( windows, doors, cold outside walls etc) The dehumidifier helps to cut the amt of condensation.

I bought two, and am glad I did. Great bargain. Feels nice and fluffy. I use it atop my love seat and it's there to wrap around me when it's chilly but not cold enough to turn on the heater.

Hi, My name is Eric. I have thought about getting one of these infrared heaters for the past couple months now. I live in Southern Indiana, in a well insulated bedford stone home. We have right at 1000 sq. feet. Our main source of heating is an electric heat pump, with baseboard heating as a supplement. I am a Realtor, so I see a lot of homes and I thought if this heater would work for a home it would be mine, because of the size and the great amount of insulation I have. For people that don't know, Bedford stone homes are very solid, and in most cases well insulated. I did my research on these infrared heaters. I have probably read through hundreds of reviews trying to find the best heater. What I found out was that for every heater out there your probably going to find a few bad reviews. People have to understand that every home is different and what works for some might not work for others. Main things you have to take in to consideration is the amount of insulation, celing heights, and amount of sq. feet you are trying to heat. Instead of me telling you all the different sites out there that I went to, I'm just gonna tell you what I found out. Even the more expensive brands like Comfort furnace and Eden pure, who sell over $300. dollars have some very bad reviews. My office has an Eden pure and it heats my particular office which is 15 x 13 with an 8 foot celing and on the second level. It will not heat the entire upstairs, which includes a hallway and three other offices.(less that 1000 sq. feet. I think this brand is way over priced. I came across the Duraflame Quartz heater. I liked how simple it seemed. No high, medium, or low. Just turn it on and set your degrees. Plus it came in at $212. So I went with this one. I ordered it on a thursday night and it came the next friday.(which was 3 days ago. 12/16/11.) I unboxed the heater and it looked great. Big in size but very impressive. I plugged it in and only smelled the burnt plastic smell for 10 minutes. Which every infrared heater on the market will tell you that you might smell this smell with the first few uses. With the first two nights of use, the temps. got into the high 20's. I set my home thermostat to 66 degrees. I set my thermostat on the heater to 74 degrees. My heat pump has not kicked on one time since I turned the heater on. The home thermostat has not dropped below 70 degrees. This unit has absolutely amazed me so far. Every inch of my home is warm. The g/f and I love this heater. I am not too worried about when temps get in the teens and even colder because I can turn this infrared heater up another 15 degrees or so. The unit gets the home to a set temp and then shuts its self off untill it drops a couple degrees below the set temp. I definitely recommend this heater. I could not be more happy with my purchase. As far as energy savings, I can't say yet. But I know it takes less energy to run this heater than it does my heat pump. So I'm sure I will be satisfied when the bill arrives. THIS HEATER IS WONDERFUL.

What a beautiful quartz heater. It is like a piece of furniture. We live in an old farmhouse in Northeast PA. Lots of drafts in the kitchen where we placed this unit. We used to have to eat in the dining room during the cold winter months but are now able to sit at the kitchen table, thanks to this heater. The cord and wheels allow you to aim it at the sink or stove or anywhere you are working. With the price of heating oil over $3.10/gallon, this has helped to keep the kitchen warm. Thanks!!

I live in Ohio in a small wood frame country home. My main source of heat in the winter is a forced air propane furnace. Propane is very expensive and I bought this Duraflame heater to help keep my heating bill down. It is in my livingroom which is about 14' x 18' with 9' ceiling. The heater is a beautiful peice of furniture. Very attractive wood, and it is quite heavy, which I think is always a sign of quality construction. I have to admit that this unit has kept my furnace from running so far, however, we haven't had any really cold weather yet. BUT, we have had a couple cold nights in the 30's and the heater couldn't keep up. I have a feeling that when the weather turns really cold this heater isn't going to do much good. It seems to be great for cool weather but not for the really cold stuff.

The thermostat on my unit is absolutely useless. The thermostat setting displayed on the unit dosen't seem to have anything to do with the real world. You have to find a setting that is close to what you want and don't pay any attention to the digital display. It is a very quiet unit, which is nice. Overall I think if you live in an area with a mild climate, this is a nice unit and worth the money. However if you live in an area where winters are really cold, you will need something more powerful. There is no way this unit will heat a 1000' sq. ft. area as advertised unless the ceiling is only about 6" high.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Livingston Portable Heater, 10HM2273-W505

I purchased one that looks identical to this one down to a look alike remote.

I have been using it for the last 2 month in southern Colorado. I am using this unit is an 1800sf modular with vaulted ceilings.

It is indeed a single room heater and has smooth wheels to move around room to room. I have it set at 75 degrees keeping the room at 67 degrees at 10 degree outside.

There is an air filter in the rear and if it is not kept clean the heater will shut down and cause you to believe you have a problem unit. But just unclip the filter and wash or vacuum and you are in good shape again. I have three dogs so I probably have to clean mine more ofter than others might, once a week.

If I did not have 2 other upright quartz heaters I would absolutely buy another one or two. Also very quite.

This unit is very handsome looking and the cabinet is surprisingly high quality. You can use this as a piece of furniture next to say a couch or chair. The BTU rating is claimed to be over 5000 BTU. I'm not sure if this is accurate. I am using it in a 750 Sq. Ft room and it has trouble warming it. Mind you, I have tall ceilings so it may be the room design but I'm just not sure if it is actually reasonable to rate it at 5200 BTU. The air flow from the unit seems to be mild. But overall it's a nice looking unit and it does emit warm air and it's not very loud. Just make sure you are using it in a small room with good insulation or you may be disappointed.

Review of Aerus Guardian Air Replacement Filter Brand New

Customer Ratings:

I have the same issue as CB's Oct 11, 2012 review. Whether this is a "new, improved" (cheaper) product from Aerus, a manufacturing defect, or an imitation knock-off, I don't know. But the touted TiO2 treatment is clearly compromised. The "spattering of white stuff" cannot be equivalent to the original, uniform coating. (Yes, the product pictured is the original.) Next time I will pay the extra and get authentic replacement filter from the dealer.

I should've returned the filter! It is not at all what my other filters have been in past. There was a white substance splattered all over the carbon side of filter. I decided to use it anyway, but really should've sent it back. The picture shows the filter as it should be, but mine was solid black, with some sort of white substance splattered on one side.

The filter I ordered on Amazon.com came within just a few days, was the correct filter and fits our air purifier. No complaints.

Honest reviews on Aerus Guardian Air Replacement Filter Brand New

I bought two of these filters from the seller hoping to save a few bucks, I should have known better. I noticed after installing the first one I noticed they did not perform like the one I was using. My allergies began acting up and I noticed an odor from the new filter. Thinking there was possibly something wrong, I tried the second one and noticed the same thing. After contacting my local Aerus Electrolux store they asked me to bring the filters in. I brought both filters in and they quickly confirmed these are Chinese knock off filters, the filter material is not the same HEPA material Aerus uses and therefore doesn't perform like it is supposed to. The Aerus store actually exchanged these two knock off filters for Genuine OEM filters at NO CHARGE! WOW! I could tell a huge difference the first 30 minutes after installing the Aerus genuine OEM Air filter. Don't be fooled by the picture the seller is displaying or the product you receive it looks OEM but it is not. Amazon should not allow sellers to advertise knock off products like this. Very disappointed with the seller. But very pleased with Aerus for the customer service they gave me when they didn't have to.
