Like the other reviewer, about three months after installation, we found that our white towels had brown burn marks from where they made contact with the rail. The on/off switch stopped working about six months after installation and the unit now gets too hot for it to be safely used. It has become an expensive towel rack. When contacted, manufacturer acknowledged the two year warranty but suggested we get a rheostat to control the heat level upon reinstallation of the replacement unit, which suggested that they weren't confident that it was an isolated incident. I don't know about you, but if a product works as it is supposed to, why would you suggest the purchase of what amounts to a "safety switch?" In fairness, it looks good on the wall.

I liked the look and the size of the towel warmer and how easy it was to assemble and mount on the wall. I left a dry towel on the warmer for 20 minutes and I was a little disappointed by the lack of heat in the towel for the price. I am not sure if there is a limit to how much heat you can add before you hit a "danger zone" but the towel never made it to that point.not even close. Without having another one to compare I gave this one 3 stars...-2 for lack of higher heat to suit me.

Honest reviews on Pearl 8 Bar Wall Mount Electric Towel Warmer Finish: Bright

I love having warm towels after each shower, even on warm days. What I liked about this product is that it heats fast, and is very hot. I picked this one in particular because it is actual chrome, unlike others I've seen at local stores where it is just painted to look like brushed silver or chrome but it is actually plastic or something else. It also works like a radiator (yes, it will warm up the room too like an oil or water filled radiator). I like that silent, quiet heat that softly warms up the bathroom. The cons: it burns. I accidentally touched it with the sensitive skin of the wrist to get a pretty bad burn, still have the mark 3 months later. It also burns/marks the towels so I can't keep them for too long or avoid using this with your fancy favorite ones, and I would not use it for drying clothing at all (it has no thermostat just on or off but you can purchase one separately I just know that i personally would not use it other than on its highest setting). Another issue is getting the towels wrapped around each bar for maximum exposure to the heat (i.e., making them warmer), I would avoid doing it while the warmer has been on for a while as it will burn, but it helps make the towels warmer. But overall, I like that it works. If it was not hot it would not heat the towels enough.

This towel warmer worked fabulous for about one year then it just stopped heating up. Contacted the manufacturer and they said it's the internal wiring and it can't be fixed. Now I have a large, bulky towel rack on my wall that doesn't heat up. very frustrating and I will never purchase this brand again! What a waste!

Cheap Sunpentown-SPT-WA-9061H Cool and Warm Air Conditioner Portable

Customer Ratings:

The unit arrived on time and I was pleased with the compact size and ease of movement with the rollers on the bottom. Simple instructions that get you up and running quickly. I used a standard clothes dryer exhaust vent from the local hardware store that matches perfectly the supplied flex exhaust hose with the unit. Cut a small hole in wall for drain hose (needed for heater) and was set to go. This unit cools extremely well...heat pump avoids the flame or hot wires found in space heaters. Ideal for small room comfort. I have been very pleased in both

hot and cold outside temps with this compact and lightweight unit. A smart buy for anyone who wants quality and simplicity.

I did a lot of research before choosing to get this unit. I was gonna buy another model from the local Abt store and have it delivered, but the salesman was so rude I decided against it. He basically was trying to talk me out of getting one, saying they didn't work as well as a regular window unit. Duh. Truth is, I gave away a new aircon when I moved here because there was a unit in the window. Big mistake. It was a piece of crap -barely worked at all. I vowed to get a portable one for convenience sake.

Then the Abt guy told me that it took hours to assemble the exhaust for the window. That may have been for their units, but I didn't find that at all. In fact, setup for this unit could not have been easier.

I toyed with getting a more powerful aircon but went with this since it was for such a small space. I was right since this space is probably not more than 400 or so sq ft. Because it's been relatively nice out here in Chicago I haven't had the need until a few weeks ago mid June. Then didn't need it until mid July.

I watched a YouTube video to get an idea of how these machines work. All I had to do was twist the exhaust tube onto the machine and then the window piece. No cutting and I didn't even really need to use the screws for the adapter into the window. The adapter just slides in according to size and stays in place on its own. No gaps, either. I savor my windows so I'll be removing it every chance I get because I'd rather have fresh air when I can get it.

I keep the bathroom door ajar and I notice it is stuffy in there, which I don't care about. When I turned it on I could feel the cool air and instantly felt it working. It worked really quickly in cooling the room down and it also carried over to the adjacent room.

I chose this unit for a few other reasons besides great reviews on other sites. One was because it has automatic recycling of water so that even though it is humid, it probably wouldn't need to be drained very much. I was concerned that other units may not work thru the night without needing to be emptied often. This one had so little water draining that I was really surprised. The humidity here generally tops 70% so I was kind of expecting it to shut down and need to be emptied. So far, haven't needed to do that at all. I keep the drain tube on it with a small tray that is parallel on top of a towel behind the unit. I found that when the tube is removed sometimes some water drips out, so the towel catches it.

Today I waited all day long before I finally turned it on in the evening. You're really supposed to do it earlier, but this works fine for me. The room started out at 88 degrees there was no longer a breeze outside and the fan just wasn't cutting it. Less than an hour later, this little hotbox I live in was much cooler. It's a couple of hours later and the thermostat on the unit says 81 degrees. I know that doesn't seem like much, but it feels much cooler in here. I generally like it around 70 or so but for some reason this feels very cool to me.

I'm fairly close to the unit and then I have a mid sized oscillating fan blowing near it so that's probably why. It will be interesting to see just how cool it gets in here. I'll update the review tomorrow. I plan on running it all night since it's supposed to be around 84 by around 10 a.m.

I turned on the heater just to see if it worked when I received it. Haven't used it yet but bet it works just fine. I have gas heat here but figured it would be nice to have something for when I move or need a little heat on an unseasonably cold day before the landlord turns on heat in late Oct or Nov. I like it cooler than most people so doubt I'll use that much in this space. I'm thinking it will come in handy to use in a larger space and just heat the areas I'm in rather than wasting electricity for the entire place.

I'm one of those people who watches the temperature like a hawk because I love fresh air. So if the temp dips after a nice blast of rain or at night, the humidity isn't a killer and I get a gorgeous Lake Michigan breeze (I'm just a block off the lake) it's open window time for me! This unit is a snap to roll across the room behind the chair so that works well. People with limited space will find this unit very easy to manage. It's heavy to lift but I don't plan on doing that much at all.

As long as you don't expect this unit to do more than it was made to, i.e., cool down a place like a window unit would I'm sure anyone would be pleased. As a personal aircon -it really works great. It's not meant to cool off an entire 1 bedroom apt or anything. But it sure works well in a small room. It's a little noisier than I would have liked, but that's no big deal for me and a small price to pay to be cool and comfortable during this heat wave! I hope all of this info helps I like to be as specific as I can in reviews so that people can get a good sense of what they're getting!

**************

UPDATE! Very pleased to report that I've had this unit running now for several days straight we're having a nasty heat wave here in Chicago. The heat has been relentless in the 90s that feels like 100 with the humidity. In fact, there is a heat advisory today. The unit has been recycling the water from the humidity such that I have not seen a drop in the pan. I love that the vent has a directional function so you can send the air where you want it up, down, sides, etc. For instance, when I'm near my desk, I have it blowing toward there. Sofa -that's another direction. And I have a mid-size oscillating fan tower that helps blow the cool air around. I usually like to use that fan alone, but it would do nothing for this heat!

Also I have casement windows which are lovely, but they don't seem to seal up the place like regular windows do so with regular windows this unit may work even better. The thermostat stays from 80-83 but again -feels like 75 in here to me. When the sun is shining brightly I have the shades down and all doors closed. When I don't care to fiddle with the air direction, I sometimes wear a chill its cooling towel like a shawl around bare shoulders. Just fantastic! Between the aircon and the towel, I am as comfortable as could be!

I unpacked it and plugged it in and got an error message that the reservoir was full. I followed the instructions on how to clear the error but nothing worked . Even though it is under warranty the company sent me instructions on how to disassemble the case to find the reservoir sensor switch. no instructions on what to do when I found it or how to determine if it is defective. I'm afraid if I take it apart it will void the warranty so I am searching for a qualified repair person to assess and fix the issue. It will be on my dime I'm sure

We have one of these heaters that we use on our boat and are going to get a second one. It works great and produces a lot of heat with little amp draw. Best electric heater we've ever had, and we've had several.

This heater is truly a great piece for a smaller area. I initially used it exclusively to heat up my small office at work, but for the past 3 years I've used it to heat both my master bedroom and bathroom simultaneously. It worked WONDERFULLY for this. It would make both rooms roasty toasty within an hour or so. Every night we'd leave it on a timed setting so our room would stay warm through the night. I really like that it has the shut off function for when it tips over.

Unfortunately, mine has now died after 3 1/2 years of daily use for 5-7 hours a day. The big flaw with this product is that you can't take off the back to clean out the inside. Mine has sucked in so much dust that it started making the distinct odor of fried electronics when I turned it on last night. I waited a few minutes (it wasn't putting out any hot air during this time either) and unplugged it for the last time.

I would consider buying this again if they improved upon the design.

When I opened the box and saw the small size of this heater, I almost returned it straightaway. But then I thought, well...Let me try it. Wow! This little guy can put out. It most certainly will serve my needs. I have a studio apartment and it heated it throughout on the lower setting. The winter frost hasn't hit yet, but I'm sure that on the higher setting, I'll be nice and toasty.

I bought this heater because my friend had one. When I learned how to stop blowing the fuses in my apartment, I discovered it can stay on low all night long or until you turn it off.

There are two buttons that let you keep it on low. One button on the right with 3 squiggly lines on it and the other is on the far right on the front. Press the big button to turn it on, immediately press the button the left, then the button on the far right. This will keep the fuses from blowing and keep the heater on a low setting for as long as you like. The rotating button on the very top is good for spreading the heat around. It has a tip over feature to turn it off. But if you pick it up while it's still on, it will stop immediately. You should put it on a flat surface because there's a small button on the bottom that triggers the on button when it starts. I put mind on one of those old thick phone books and it's perfect for me keeping me warm when I'm on my computer.

It comes in black or white but I got the black one and it's very nice. It will keep you warm and toasty. Trust me when I write this, I'm picky about being cold during all 4 seasons with this global warming going on. This is the heater that will eliminate that constant nagging of being cold in your house, apartment or room.

This is a good little heater and I would buy this again for myself or as a gift. It's worth the money.

There should be an option to buy the system either without a filter or with your choice of filters. I saw no such option.

I am pleased with the dual operation of this device, saves room in the sink area and looks neat and trim.

I keep it in my bathroom; well away from water of course. It heats up the space when I shower in the morning during the cooler months. It does not use very much electricity, heats up a small room quickly and prevents me from turning up the heat for the entire house! Well worth the price, keep the dust cleaned off of the back of the heater.

The heaters are relatively inexpensive and very compact. Overall, I think they are worth the money. The only complaint with the unit is that, unlike a lot of others I've had, it doesn't automatically shut off upon tipping. The manual says it will shut off if tipped, but it isn't immediate. Would prefer to see that safety feature improved, however I may be missing something. The unit remains cool on the outside and presents less hazard in a lot of ways to others, so a plus there.

The one I recieved does not work on all settings, only low. It worked fine when I first got it and now after a few weeks it does not. I use it in my office and it is quite and would be fine if it worked and didnt shut off on some settings. Not sure if I just dot a defective heater.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH105-UM Compact Heater Fan with Adjustable Thermostat

This little, inexpensive heater puts out a fair amount of heat for its size. I used mine to heat my motorcoach (about the size of a small apartment) and it performed really well. The fan was quiet (like white noise) which, at bedtime, was quite soothing. Unfortunately, the pedestal base is inadequate for this fan. Mine tipped over too many times to count, and was very unstable (tipping over at the slightest vibration). To make matters worse, there was no safety cutoff. If the fan tipped over, I had to be Mr. Johnny-on-the-spot and right it before it burned a hole in my carpet. The last time it tipped over, it took me about 10 seconds to get to it. By the time I righted the unit, the motor had burned out and died. No smoke, just dead. I took it apart to fix it, but it is unfixable. It's a powerful, efficient heater, but the design sucks. I will be buying another one of these (assuming the company doesn't swap it out for a different model, like one commenter stated), and I will be reinforcing the pedestal so the dumb thing doesn't tip over. I've tried a lot of heaters, and for the low price, this thing is a gem -just be sure to nail it to the floor!

It doesn't have a thermostat. I don't know where they got that idea from. I only needed a heater for a couple of months and this was on clearance at Target for $3.50 so I thought I'd give it a try. It'll heat up a room....eventually. And it's very loud, even though it's so small. I have to turn my tv up two times as high as usual when the heater's on.

This is a great unit and just like it states it is wisper quiet. Easy to read digital temp. Took about 5 min to warm a 63 degree room to 72! Takes up little space, I put mine in the corner and you don't even know its there. It is also an attractive unit that I don't mind having in any room of the house. The remote controol is a plus also. I Did not think I needed it, but now that I have it, I love that feature also. There is an easy to use timer on the unit also. That is a nice feature so you don't forget to turn it off when you go to work etc. I am thinking about ordering another one as this is such a handy unit. With heating costs this winter it is a money saver to use this electric unit to supplement your heat.

I bought this heater for my living room. I have central heat and air, but this helps me save money on my heating bill. It's slightly more expensive than other ceramic heaters, but it has an air purifier and a remote control. None of the cheaper ceramic heaters have those features. You don't realize how handy the remote control is unless you have owned an electric heater without one. You can make minor adjustments to its thermostat with the remote control. You can adjust the thermostat from 64 to 90 degrees. It has a big, bright LCD display on the front that shows the temperature and other information. Many people seem to prefer those electric oil-filled heaters, but some of them can take forever to heat up a room. This heater produces a lot of heat quickly. It's rated at 5,200 BTUs. A small air conditioner has a rating of about 10,000 BTUs. It also has the ability to automatically alternate between high and low power when it's in AUTO mode. It doesn't always use 1500 watts of electricity because of that. Sometimes it will only use 950 watts if a room is already warm. The Sunpentown SH-1508 is the best electric heater I have ever owned.

I would have to give this rating a one star unfortunately. THe heater while in itself is a great cost you must be warned of the manufacturing of the product itself. I have two of these heaters purchased within a few weeks of each other. One worked well, we were so pleased that we ordered another (my roomies and myself) unfortunately the first one came broken, making a horrible clicking sound and the company (SPT)has refused to help. Amazon did send a replacement for the first and then the second one arrived making an horrible buzzing noise. Amazon was not willing to replace this one. Today is the 8th week of owning both the heaters. THe first one's face plate caught fire today because of poor wiring used in the assembly of the heater, and the second one I am afraid will do the same. This product almost set fire to my house and everything that we own.

I cannot reccomend this product to anyone. Although the price is fine (money wise) is it really worth risking far much more than sixty something dollars if it costs you your life? I do not think so. I am so upset by this that I will write to amazon.com today strongly recommending that this product be removed from their site. Because if three products have thus far been malfunctioning who knows how many more of these are out there will similar situations. So far I have found over 200 similar stories about this product. Thank you for your time and I wish you the best of luck in finding whateever it may be that you are looking for.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Honest reviews on Sunpentown SH-1508 Tower Ceramic Heater with Ionizer

This machine is larger than many ceramic models but nice looking and heats very well. The fan is very quiet. I like that you can use it as a fan without heat as well. My only complaint is that the blue LCD that tells the temperature does not dim or shut off and is VERY bright. Too bright for a bedroom. Really lights it up. I'll be looking for some way of safely masking it. Otherwise very nice but hope it lasts.

OCTOBER 08' UPDATE:

2 California coastal winters (mild and short) and it's dead. Well not dead, but working erratically (noisy, not shutting off when the room reaches the Auto shut off temp, ...) No longer safe or usable.

After reading dozens of reviews on dozens of heaters, I gave up and ordered what looked good. So far, I very happy with this one. Although assembly was indicated, it came fully assembled. It heats my son's bedroom (10 x 12) in very short order and it takes the chill off my living room (16 x 22). I switched to a pellet heater as my primary fuel and there are some areas of my home that just stay cool. I'm confident this will do the job on all but the coldest of days (Mid-Michigan). The directions are easy to understand and the remote is simple to use. The only drawback is the LED panel is super bright for my sleeping preference (great nightlight for a kid) and when the timer (max 7.5 hour) shuts the unit off, it seems to erase the preset room temp. It then defaults back to 75 degrees. Could be I haven't figured it out yet but either way, that's a minor thing to me. Overall, I think I got a good deal on a good heater.

This is absolutely gorgeous, great quality. It arrived quickly and in great condition. The reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because it is much smaller that it looked in the picture the photo is a bit misleading. Because of the image, I thought the measures were for each bowl, not the whole piece. The bowls are kind of square and they are deep, good for something like mashed potato or pulled meat.

First one did not oscillate so had a new replacement sent to me which works fine.

Has the following modes -

Low: low speed fan with heat (900 watts)

high: high speed fan with heat (1500 watts)

fan: high speed fan without heat so you can use it on the summertime

auto: you set the temperature (50-86F in 2 degree increments) and the heater turns on/off when it's 2 degrees below/above the set temperature.

Remembers mode when power is off unless it's unplugged then it returns to default. Plug is polarized (two-prong).

Has an OSC button so unit can oscillate (left to right) and a timer to keep unit on for a duration of 1-8 hours in 1 hour increments.

Has air inlet grill with filter that can be easily removed and cleaned.

Has a tip over safety switch on the bottom. When the unit is tipped, it automatically shuts off.

There is a hand slot near top to move unit.

Remote control has OSC, Set Time, Temp +/-, Mode, and Power. Needs two AAA batteries not included.

Anytime you press a button, even for each increment you change the temperature, it makes a loud beep. Wish you could turn that sound off or made the sound much quieter.

The heater I ordered because mine went out and I went to all local stores and everybody just had a sale on them so they didn't have any in the surrounding towns of me at all! I looked up heaters on Amazon.com found this one was a little sketchy about the product for the price comparing to my last buys on heaters from local stores. Package came in fairly quick. Once opened up and plugged in it was instantly blowing out warm air in a cold room. The features are good just wished it had a auto timer to turn it on like my others do. Overall this is a awesome heater and am thinking about ordering another for another room. It heats my living room and kitchen area pretty good here in Louisiana when it is in the 30's i can stay comftorable. So it is a better product then the other few I have!

Problems:

Loud beep when timer mode ends which always wakes me up. Why would they do that?

In automatic thermostat mode it goes on and off but only with the high speed fan setting. So the heating is loud and not gentle. Why wouldnt they employ the lower fan setting for simply mainting a room's heat?

The thermostat is crude. It is built into the unit which makes it innacurate and constantly fluctuating depending on whether its on or not. The heater heats up past the temp you set it at so you get fairly wide swings in temperature. Employing the low setting in auto mode could have mitigated this but apparently they didnt want to bother.

Most annoying of all, the oscillation isn't silent. It makes a tiny little clicking sound when it reaches the end of one direction and begins moving in the opposite. It's just loud enough that I can hear it from my bed a few feet away and it drives me crazy because it isn't a constant "white" noise.

The remote control needs a backlit lcd readout so you dont need to be five feet away from the unit to see what mode, temp, timer, etc. it is using.

Lastly the unit never seems to stop offgasing. After using it for weeks it still creates that distinct plasticy heater smell. Maybe its the ceramic element and not the housing. Whatever it is, it gives the impression of toxic voc's.

I wonder if the Swiss and Germans settle for this poorly designed Chinese stuff like Americans do? Three stars because it works and there is certainly worse out there, but I will probably be returning it. Target 90 day return policy even if purchased online. Wake up amazon!! You're falling behind.

Honest reviews on SPT Tower Ceramic Heater with Thermostat

I purchased this heater less than one year ago. The thermostat has been wildly inaccurate since after the first month of use. It began with not turning on on the automatic setting (this is the main reason I purchased this item too so it is extremely annoying that that function went out first) Then it started making a strange noise as it oscillates. Now it has degraded to the point that it won't turn on at all on the automatic setting due to the thermostat inaccuracy, it shuts off immediately on the high setting, and if i try to turn it on to low it runs for about 2 minutes before the thermostat says it is 89 degrees in the room and it turns off for the safety setting. I'm freezing and i'm extremely angry that i wasted 70 dollars on this useless hunk of junk.

I immediately unplugged it and felt the area around the outlet and the cord. They were both cool. I didn't understand how my room almost went into flames until my hands felt the bottom of the heater. I unscrewed the bottom to see that were melting and burnt. I bought this heater fall of 07. It's Oct. 28 and I am returning it. Please do not buy this heater! It is not safe. I'm sure this has happened before and people probably do not take the time to report. I am! Good luck to whom ever purchases this.

i purchased this heater at the end of the summer of 07 and recently brought it out again, it's wonderful... it heats my living/dining room to 75 degrees with ease! i haven't turned my home heating system on yet since this works so well and temperatures have gotten as low as 47 degrees outside! It's phenomenal.
