Bought this heater from costco about 1 week ago to heat our 18' x 20' living room, Not only doe's it do that very well, it heats the kitchen, hallway, and closest bedroom to the living room. we are going to purchase another for the rest of the house. Our house heater went out and cant afford a new one, don't need to fix it now. I would definately recommend this heater. we had bought one of those fake fireplace heaters they look great but took it back it didn't work anywhere close to the vorando heater for a fourth of the cost.

I recently purchased this for an office that is about 20' x 10'. When I first turned it on within 5 minutes the whole office area was heated. I had to turn down the heat to a lower heating setting (it has 3 settings) so the office area wasn't overly heated. The safety feature of automatically shutting off if it is moved or tilted is a really great feature. It would be nice if it had a remote control or a thermostat control to set a specific temperature but that shouldn't stop you in purchasing this little heating marvel. You don't need to point this heater directly at you for warmth. It takes the heated air and evenly circulates it throughout the room. I own a Vornado air circulator at home and use it during the hot summer months. It works great....that is why I purchased this product. It is basically the same Vornado air circulator only with a heater inside of it. It gets a 4 1/2 star rating from me...but Amazon ratings don't do 1/2 points.

This is my second Vornado VH110 purchase in 6 months. I have bought electric heaters before from different manufacturers and none of them withstood the normal wear and tear as well as the test of time like these Vornado heaters. Most of the ones I got at the big superstores caught dust in the grill after about 6 months of use and ended up just giving up and dying or even starting to burn the dust and grime inside stinking up the room and causing them to sound like a small airliner is about to land. Needless to say I had to bite the bullet and buy another one, and then another one and so on. A friend turned me onto Vornado heaters. I have to say I have never seen a small size heater heat up my high ceiling room so well, yet it only feels warm to the touch. This thing is quiet and seems to be very efficient it doesn't seem to burn the element inside as hot as the other heaters, and yet circulates the air a lot better then the 2700 watt higher powered heaters sold at Walmart. I am very impressed with the engineering of these little marvels and will recommend these to my friends too.

Honest reviews on Vornado VH110 Whole Room Vortex Heater

It is a very nice heater and I love it at first...until the exterior cracked in 30 days. I suspect is the heat that caused the plastic exterior to expand and then crack open. Now there is an rattling piece of plastic inside the heater and I stopped using it. Amazon is replacing it with a new one at no cost since it's about 30 days since I received the item. I can't imagine what Amazon would do if it broke later and I would have lost the moeny I spent on this heater. I just hope the new one will last.

This heater works super great! I have a really drafty room in an old house, and now I can't even tell with how warm the room feels with the Vornado. It circulates the air so well that I don't feel like I have to stay near my heater to stay warm which is nice.

I bought this from this vendor in December 2010. The color is a light cream color. It comes with a 3/8" elbow flare fitting. The gas line in the fireplace had a 3/8" flare fitting. The supply line is a 24" from HD, for under $20. Mr Heater recommends not putting the unit in an enclosed space, such as in the fireplace, so I put it on the hearth. The unit has a fan with an on off switch, and the fan comes on when the unit is warmed up. The fan has one speed and is as loud as the microwave. I only used the fan a couple of times, opting instead for the ceiling fan on low in reverse. The unit has a pilot light that is lit with a battery (included) powered igniter. The pilot is easy to light and I turn it off when not using the heater. The thermostat goes from 1 to 5, with 1 being about 55 degrees, and 3 being about 70 degrees. The amount of gas is not adjustable by the heater, but it can be turned down with the gas valve built into the fireplace. I added a photo that shows the heater running with the gas turned down by the fireplace gas valve. This allows the heater to run all day and keep the room at a constant temperature without cycling on and off.

The good: Very low cost for a lot of heat. Fan and floor mounts are included. With ventless, all the heat generated stays in the room. Infra red radiant heat is warm. You might want to search on high intensity gas heaters. The infra red heater allows us to turn the house thermostat way down, and have the same comfort in the family room that we would get by sitting in the sun on a cold day.

The bad: Ventless has a combustion smell. I got a slight head ache for the first two weeks after running the unit at full power. Either I got used to it, or the newness burned off. The unit is not as attractive as a gas log insert.

These heaters are supposed to cause condensation, and we were hoping for an increase in humidity, but the house is still in the dry range at 30%.

I bought this heater as an experiment. I had a $4,000 gas insert installed in my last house with excellent results, and installed the same item in this house, but it was a dud. I wanted to test my expectations whether a 40,000 btu vented gas insert with 75% efficiency generated the same comfort as a 30,000 btu infra red ventless. The big difference is the radiant heat. The infra red ventless generates more comfort. It feels like a roaring fire, but does not look like one. I still wanted the ventless to eliminate the smell, and asked three insert manufacturers to provide any a test results they have for their units for radiant heat, but got no answers. My conclusion is that the inserts look pretty, and they generate the same kind of heat as the house heater, but they don't do radiant. I'll enjoy the warmth, live with the smell, and keep $3,800 in my pocket.

I bought & posted the LP version of this unit after reviewing the comments/opinions of this NG unit as well...figured I would post a copy as they are basically the same unit, only using a different 'flavor' of fuel! ;) ALL info is completely relevant, just keep in mind the 'LP (propane) specific comments are directed @ this units' LP twin-brother!

Recently experienced some winter power outages & realized a dire need for some 'peace-of-mind' during any future episodes! Consequently, this came in handy yesterday 12-19-2011, when the furnace happened to fail out! I am in the White Mountain range, and it was only 9 degrees when this happened; this little guy kept us from freezing to death, literally! BTW, i am in a 2000+ sq. foot home, 2 level, so even though that's much more space than this one is actually capable of heating, the heat naturally moved upstairs & throughout the house & kept it 'livable', regardless! ;) This unit provides more than enough heat to 'camp-out' & survive a no-heat situation comfortably for probably up to 1000sq. feet in a pinch, if it's not too, TOO cold out! ;) The heater does EXTREMELY well, is VERY efficient (around 99.7%!), and a perfect emergency-type or 'supplemental' heating source. It is NOT recommended as a primary heat source as it is NOT vented and even illegal for use in some states (Massachusetts) because of this, so check w/ your state laws 1st before ordering...Note: this unit should NOT be used in a bathroom or bedroom, only a 'primary' (and open!) living space/quarters!...

When you order this heater, be sure to get an appropriate regulator assembly/hose to go with it, as the pressure needs to be 'stepped-down' to 11-13WC, or around 1/2 to 1 PSI in normal human speaking terms! ;) It is NOT meant to be connected directly to the LP gas supply (like you would a natural gas system) without incoming gas pressures first being regulated down; it will blow the valve system & would NOT be covered under any warranties! :P ...

As this unit is VENT-FREE...just for peace of mind for you 'worry-wart' type people (like me!), I would wholeheartedly recommend the use of a reputable carbon monoxide detector in the home this is to be used to protect you & your loved-ones from any dangers...the unit IS equipped w/ an ODS system, that will automatically shut the unit down if there not enough available oxygen (for you!) in the room it is operating, so that helps ease some worries!...Just so you know, my heater is operating in the downstairs 1000 sq. feet living space, in a 10x15 living-room, CO detector @ farthest wall from heater; it's a KIDDE Nighthawk digital CO detector Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display (VERY good!) & has registered ZERO '0' ppm since firing up the heater in the same room! not too shabby! ;)...my detector also has the 'explosive gas' detector built in as well, which comes in REAL handy when dealing w/ LP (propane) gas, as it heavier than air, sinks low, & tends to 'pool' up in lower or enclosed spaces, just waiting for a spark! :O Natural gas is a lil' bit 'friendlier', 'cause when it leaks off, it is lighter than air, & tends to float up, intermingling w/ other air & usually finding places to dissipate & escape with other heated air leaving the home! ;)

Just a bit of info regarding a specific feature on this unit (and actually one of the reasons I chose this model over the other brands!) is a unique digital temperature readout display on the top right corner of the housing, where the thermostat control is located; you can see a pic of it in image two @ the top of the page...Well, this particular feature is NOT included with this unit. I have contacted Mr. Heater regarding this feature and why it is missing...they explained that, although it was a really nice feature to have, customers were 'getting confused' as to what it was & how it related to heater operation???...O-kaay?...so that feature has been omitted from ALL 2011 built units as of January, 2011. This includes ALL units, both LP and natural gas, infrared AND blue-flame units included; SO, if you really appreciated (& wanted!) this feature like I did, the only way to obtain it is to find a 2010 (last years model) unit in somebody's 'old-stock' in their warehouse...I have not had any leads...good luck! >:(

I suppose it's not that important, but I thought it was a handy & useful feature to have w/ a heater...I mean, practically ALL those little ceramic heaters now run on digital temp controls & readouts now too, right!?! :O Consequently, all the pics and descriptions for any of the newer 20-30k BTU units of this nature including the digital temps are incorrectly advertised & need to be updated as such to reflect the omission of this nifty lil' feature... :(

PROS:

VERY efficient

Fan unit INCLUDED with this model (costs $30-50 xtra charges w/ similar units!)

'Free-standing' feet INCLUDED w/ this model (also additional costs w/ others)

ELECTRONIC ignition; VERY nice, compared to the click, click, click push-button BBQ igniters (which rarely work half the time!)

very COZY, & nice radiant heat literally POURS from the face of this heater! :) warms the bones! ;)

very easy to hook up & start using, right outta-the-box!

NO electricity needed whatsoever for operation!...of course the blower wont operate, but it's a nice QUIET & COZY heat! :)

CONS:

Fan unit not very powerful, & slightly on the loud side, a little quieter than a hairdryer on 'low' setting; doesn't move much heat, but the radiant heat helps w/ that issue on it's own! ;) ...it CAN however be set to 'ON' or 'AUTO' or OFF! (which is nice when you don't want to hear it!), AND it is automagically turned on by heat & cuts out when the heater cools down, so no 'human-thought' required when using! :)

Has the ability to burn up fuel pretty quick if you leave it up 'high' for a quite awhile...of course it WAS only 10 degrees! bbbrrrr! :O

Unit REALLY stinks when you use it 1st time, burning off paints/oil/new stuff...recommend burning OUTSIDE for awhile HOT to burn off the bad smelling stuff & 'cure' the unit before indoor use (I didn't have a choice!) :(

Kinda misleading pics/description regarding the digital temp display feature, should be updated to reflect this issue

FYI...vent-free units are VERY efficient heaters, HOWEVER, one important snippet of knowledge that most don't know, or are not usually told about, is the fact that these types of heaters have the capacity to release up to a QUART (32oz) of water vapor into your house while in operation (burning); this is due to the fact that there is no venting for the exhaust gases to escape...hence your awesome efficiency is ALSO the culprit of unneeded water vapor...BUT, this is somewhat negated by the fact that a heater is most likely used in the Winter (cold!) months...humidity levels are usually alot lower in the Winter, and as a result, most people usually choose to add water to their homes (humidifiers, steam pots on the wood-stove, etc.)during these times anyway to help reduce chapped hands & lips, dry skin, & lowering the chance of catching a cold, sore throat or getting sick! So the extra moisture could actually be seen as a 'PRO' depending on how you view it!...too much moisture in the home can obviously be a problem as well! :P

...All in all, I find ALOT of positive benefits regarding this heater & it also works really well for what it was designed to do (possibly heating even better than it was rated by sq footage!)...I would totally recommend this heater for anyone needing a back-up emergency or supplemental heat source for not really alot of money @ all! Geez, very economical in fact compared to 'commercially' available installs/solutions! It's 'The Great Lil' Heater that Could!' & does the job very nicely, thank you!

Happy Holidays 2011 & stay WARM!!! ;)

I was a little doubtful about reviews when I bought this heater, but it is great heater! I use it in my garage and I barely have to turn the heat setting above 1. I can walk into my garage in the middle of winter, in which I live in Northeast ohio so it gets cold, and be in shorts and t-shirt and be comfortable! So far I have had it for 2 and 1/2 months and it has not really caused my gas bill to go up at all. I absolutely recommend this product for anyone out there, especially for the men who like to be in thier garage. You cant find a more affordable and efficient way to heat the garage!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Natural Gas Radiant Vent Free Heater

I was looking for a heater that had a built in thermostat and temperature display. I bought this heater to take the place of an old heater in my 1200 sq ft detached garage. The product description claims it has a 'adjustable thermostat' and also that 'Heater also has built in digital room temperature display'. To my dissatisfaction, this heater does not shut off when it reaches a set temperature. And it does NOT have a digital room temp display. There are 5 settings, lowest to highest.

The product seems to work fine and does a good job heating up the garage. I keep it on low and let it go to work. However, I find myself having to shut it off manually. Even at the low setting, my garage can get warmer than I'd like. And it doesn't stop putting out heat, which is a waste of energy.

I would recommend this product based on its ease of use and overall function. However, if you're looking for a heater that you can adjust and leave alone then this isn't the product for you.

The short of it is this heater works flawlessly and I can depend on it.

More details: The parts don't seem to be formed to fit well and the assembly was not the best so I was worried at first but it works flawlessly. Great design! I had another one that looked like it was made better but the pilot light kept going out if the fan came on and sometimes even if the fan was turned off so I could never depend on it from the day it was new. Very happy with this product and now I don't come home to a freezing house or worry about the pipes freezing and bursting if I travel. I'm not talking about parts hanging or falling off, just the details of the fit if you notice those things. Even the thermostat is more accurate and responds quicker than the other heaters I've had.

PS. I hope the time I spent doing this review has helped you the same way your reviews have helped me make better decisions. Thanks!

Best Danby Premiere DPAC12010H 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner Deals

Customer Ratings:

First note: This item is HUGE. It is very nearly the size of a dorm refrigerator...possibly taller.

Second note: This item is loud, but NOT in a bad way. It has the steady fan-generated-white-noise thing going on. If the unit is between you and the exhaust, it seems quieter, but if you can see where the exhaust exits (re: window fitting) you will hear both the unit and the air in the exhaust pipes.

Third note: It is not immediately clear whether you're supposed to use the drainage hose in AC mode, or JUST in dehumidifier. As luck would have it, the answer is yes...you need to drain while cooling.

That being said, I am completely in love with this big lug. It was over 95 outside when I brought it in. It was over 90 *inside* when I tore into the box. It was roughly 10 minutes of girl-reading-instructions-holding-screwdriver after that. Ten minutes later, I turned it on, and let'er rip.

Roughly 60 seconds later, the air coming out was COLD.

The first couple degrees dropped rapidly, downgrading the entire first floor of the apartment from "broiler" to "huh, it's kinda hot" in about 5 minutes. The next couple degrees happened more slowly, over about an hour, taking the whole first floor from "hot?" to "not hot" and finally to "comfortable"...about 75 degrees.

This is only the first day, so I will post follow-up reviews later.

I would definitely recommend the unit, though.

For whatever it's worth, I previously owned a Royal Sovereign that I was overall happy with.

Danby makes great products. This air conditioner came with all the parts needed for all possible installations, and if you use it as a dehumidifier, it has a drainage hose that you must attach. It comes with enough panels for sliding door installation.

The unit itself is MUCH quieter than the Royal Sovereign, and while I'm sure it's noisier than a window unit, I'm thrilled that it is as quiet as it is.

It's also slightly smaller than the RS was. I was nervous about the white plastic outside, but it is a shiny, easy to clean surface.

The air conditioner output can be directed up or forward, but side to side is not variable. This unit also has heat.

One funny thing though is that the air conditioner has a remote, right... but you can't see the settings on the air conditioner because the indicator lights are on top!

The thermostat works extremely well. This air conditioner does not turn off when the desired temperature has been reached and this seems to be common with portable units.

In 2005 Consumer Reports said if you buy a portable unit, get one with 2 hoses because it will work... the single hose portable units do not work. They were right. Get your portable with 2 hoses.

This air conditioner is overpowered for my space, so I cannot review it on strength, but it was as strong as the RS unit that was also the same BTU.

Please feel free to comment on my review if you have questions I can answer for you.

This Danby Portable A.C. Rocks !! All is required is patience to install the product correctly making sure to use insulation ! It cools down a room very quickly on the highest settings. Ex: My 15' X 15' X 8' bedroom was cooled from 87 to 77 in 30 mins. It is even more efficient when allowed to constantly drain the condensate. The EER on this machine is 9.91 which makes it on par with units of the same BTU production in thru wall and window units. This Danby A.C. unit is way quieter than my 8 year old EnergyStar rated Friedrich 11,500 BTU thru wall A.C. unit it temporarily replaces due to the plug having to be replaced on it. On the highest fan speed with the compressor running, I can hear while talking to another person in the room or on the phone, cell or landline. So, on the lowest Fan speed setting it should not be a problem. Instructions that came with the unit were as thorough as you would expect as well as being available online which is a plus because I've misplaced mine already, lol. Controls are on top of the unit so when using the remote control you will have to already know which settings on the unit are in use or you will still have to approach the unit to see what they are set to, and that is really the only con I can think of when referring to this unit. I haven't tested the Heat feature. The fans are quiet enough and powerful. I haven't tried the dehumidifier yet. When running the A.C., it produces significant amounts of condensate quickly which cools the room faster. So, it is required to be consistently emptied or directly drained for constant use of the A.C. or the Dehumidifier. This unit is portable but not portable if know what I mean. It does have handle type grips on the sides of the unit as well as casters which allow for easier portability but, it is far from light to constantly be moving it ! , especially on carpet ! Overall, I am very happy with my decision after many hours of research on the many different portable A.C. units available in the marketplace and would without hesitation recommend this unit. The Danby Premiere Series 4 in 1 Portable Air Conditioner Model #DPAC12010H features a 12,000 BTU 9.91 EER Air Conditioner, a 54 pint removal per day Dehumidifier, a 4800 BTU Heater, a 3 Speed Fan and also has 2 Condensate Drain options to suit your needs and is a quiet unit in my opinion. P.S. For Best performance; set-up system to constantly drain condensate and use an additional fan, preferably a ceiling type for proper cooling distribution.

I started looking and researching portable air conditioners ,, not sure exactly what I wanted .. I visited the big warehouse type retailers but was'nt impressed with the selection... Eventually I searched on-line for a wider selection. As luck would have it I found this unit and was impressed with the double intake and exhaust hoses , Very efficient I might add. I have a large apartment, which is an upper unit. the conditioner cools the living and dining area very nicely. I could'nt be happier with the efficiency and the quality of this product. I would recommend this Danby conditioner highly to anyone looking for quality cooling. I have'nt used it as a heater or dehumidifier yet but I'm sure the results would be most satisfactory. A footnote :the exhaust/intake panel is adjustable to the extent to fill a sliding door opening , very crucial for my selection because of my large vertical opening. windows.

We have a large roofed deck where we like to eat and entertain. In Pasadena, you can get away with that year-round...almost. After years of talking about it, we decided to buy two of these and try to heat up our dining area enough to pull off Thanksgiving for 21 guests outside.

Well, the short answer is that we did pull it off. Cloudy & 60 degrees outside, we were all quite comfortable under these. As night fell, the heavier sweaters or jackets came out, but there was a distinct comfort zone under these lamps. They do cover about a 10' x 10' square.

The reddish glow mentioned elsewhere didn't strike anyone as a problem. It's the kind of warm glow that makes people look better, frankly. Not quite as yellow as firelight, but flattering and comfortable in much the same way.

The Cons:

-12.5 amps per 120 volt unit. Definitely separate circuits unless you have a 30 amp circuit to spare.

-At 1500 watts, that's 15 100-watt lightbulbs sucking juice at the same time. Or in my case, 30. Can't wait for that electric bill to come...

-misleading diagrams on company website (I tracked over there for info before purchasing here). Illustrations on the site suggest it can be sort of "corner mounted" at a wall and ceiling intersection. Not so. These must be mounted about 5 feet from any walls, 6 feet from curtain & such, and about 1 foot from a ceiling.

-the included brackets leave you on your own to reach a ceiling. If you bolted the two included pieces together, you'd be about 3 inches from a ceiling. So how to bridge the gap? You could hang these from a chain, but one of the attractions (again from the company website) is that you can adjust the angle of the units with some precision, which won't work with a chain. With only hours to install these before our Thanksgiving, I found a couple of simple stainless steel straps at the hardware store pre-drilled with the appropriately-sized bolt-holes...but now I have perforated steel straps to look at. Call me crazy, but for the price they could include a minimum-length steel extender powder-coated to match the unit (as the brackets are). Pretty simple for them to supply -very difficult for a consumer to source.

-similarly, I ordered white units to disappear against the white ceiling on our roofed deck. But the white units have big black transformers on top, and the cords (which are, thoughtfully, very long) are also black. Can't they put white ones with the white units?

So -all in all, I give it 4 stars. They work. In a workspace, I'm sure they mount & function easily enough. But in a "finish" application like mine, be prepared to live with some esthetic sacrifices -or to put in a lot of work to compensate for what the manufacturer thinks is "good enough."

My wife, sitting under the Solaira Cosy, is as comfortable as I am not sitting under it, which is exactly what I wanted from it. It emits a gentle but clearly perceptible warmth for up to three people sitting on our outdoor couch. I have it mounted in the trellis above, about 8 feet off the ground. The great thing about infrared is that it still works in a gentle breeze. The Cosy does not turn cold to warm, but it does take the chill off.

The quality of manufacture of the Solaira Cosy is quite good. The mounting is versatile and strong, albeit a bit less refined than the housing itself. The cord is long, which is perfect for my needs. I removed the warning stickers and cleaned off the adhesive, and it ended up looking elegant and unobtrusive.

I'm very happy with this purchase.

I was not expecting the brightness of this heater! It lights up our screened porch! The heat is good if you are in it's radius (just as advertised). It is energy efficient and safe to use. I would recommend giving it a dedicated breaker. We tried to run a couple of other things with it and it tripped the fuse. All-in-all we are pleased.

I thought this was going to work for the area directly above out hot tub, boy was I wrong. I mounted this 8 foot above the front side of the hot tub and angled it so it would heat the area above everyone's head. While mounting it I was extremely happy from looking at the construction, solid metal, great mounting brackets, along with a long cord.

First off from reading other reviews I kept reading 10 x 10 area, in my test we were hoping for 9 x 7 foot section. I was hoping this would take the edge off from the winds that blow thru in the winter months. The plus would be to provide us with a area directly under the heat light to dry off in the warmth.

That night the temperature dropped to 55 degrees and very little wind. So we were ready to try it out. And i felt this would be a EASY test for this to pass.

Outdoor test minimal wind, covered deck.

After plugging the unit in, I wondered around the hot tub to feel the heat, it was almost nothing more then 6 foot directly in-front of the light. I didn't let that ruin the night so we got in the hot tub, I also started realizing my private area in my own back yard was really under the spot light now. This 1500 watt light produces a lot of visible light.

In comparison, I grabbed a yellow bug light and put it in a shop light. The 100 watt bug light was less to at the most about the same brightness of this heat light. The heat produced was good enough to heat the first 3 feet as if I was a hamburger at a fast food restaurant and nearly non existent 6 foot out. But in comparison, you would be better off buying two satco s4998 heat lights that produce about the same heat and far less visible light for over a $250 savings. Along with saving 1000 watts of electricity.

Garage shop area test.

Final test was to try this out in my garage I mounted this on the ceiling about 9 foot above my shop area, I left this on for 10 mins and came back to find it did an fair-OK job warming a closed area, insulated area. After the 10 min test I was satisfied to say this unit works ok indoors, but is far from the manufactures statements comparing this is a outdoor commercial unit.

In conclusion this unit could work if your goal is to heat and light a small enclosed area. If your goal is to heat the outdoors this is not for you unless you are only looking for a small area outside so one person can smoke in the dead of winter without freezing to death

Recommended product instead, each light can easly take the chill off a 4x4 area, or inside 8x12 x 2 lights

AC unit is powerful and has a reassuringly even and gentle sound. One thing it is not, however, is quiet. If one uses it in a mobile home (my situation!) there is no part of the house where it is inaudible, at least with the doors open. I can deal with it as I like the sound, my insomniac spouse cannot.

This isn't a bad thing by any means. She is impossible to please. Just be aware of what you're buying a powerful, unobtrusive-sounding but loud cooling unit. Oh, and it can blow cold air in two directions at once which is awesome.

I bought this unit to put in my bedroom. This is an old farmhouse so the air circulates freely throughout the house in a circular manner with my bedroom being at the far end. That part of the house get warm. We already own a Fridgedaire and it just does not do much of anything at all even though it has more BTU's. Hubby suggested I get the 8,000 instead of a larger unit for my bedroom since it is a small area. On high cool this machine cools the whole house while the living room Fridgedaire is only an assist. Granted it is rather noisy but at night I put it on low cool or low dry and it does not bother me much at all. I would think that one would have to take this into consideration before buying. I preferred having the cool during the day and I am not sorry I bought this product in the least, it pushes out the cold air far into the room and the directional adjustment is far superior over the Fridgedaire. I Highly recommend the Artic King over other units if you want cool.

It did raise the Electric bill but If you can afford an Air conditioner, you can afford the bill.

Aura DGFP15120B Glass Flat Panel Radiant Convection Heater Review

Customer Ratings:

This unit doesn't work for me. But for some it is the right product.

Pros:

Very attractive and seemingly high quality. The glass looks great in any room with other black glass rectangles, a very common thing these days. The LCD display is a nice retro touch.

The power cord is comfortingly heavy duty and not flimsly like most heaters.

The thermostat seems accurate.

Cons:

Not hot enough! It took way too long to warm up the room for my taste. It doesn't heat as well as microthermic heaters.

Not compatible with a device like the Lux programmable thermostat. When the power is shut off, all settings are reset, including the Celsius display. The mode has to be changed after you plug it back in, meaning it won't work merely by turning on the power switch.

The controls are unintuitive, and the remote can't be seen in the dark.

There is no temperature down button, only temperature up, so you have quite a lot of pressing and beeping in order to lower the auto temperature. This was truly annoying.

I'm not convinced it has any special technology beyond a heating element heating the glass. Most of the heat comes out of a vent above the heating element, not the glass.

UPDATE: 1/3/12. We used it over the holidays to give it the old college try, and after a few days of use, the unit became inexplicably noisy, making a surprising number of squeaks and rattles for something that doesn't seem to have moving parts. I cannot really recommend this heater to anyone, and had to downgrade to two starts. It does appear to be safely constructed or else I'd lower it even more.

I purchased this product for my sister because she has my 8 month old niece sleeping in a room with insufficient heating. She had been using a different portable heater in the room but found if she left it on all night the room would get too hot. With this heater, she can set the temperature display to a comfortable level and then the heater will maintain that temperature she doesn't have to worry about the room getting too hot or too cold. She has also been able to mount it on the wall so she doesn't have to worry about the baby touching it now that's she's crawling around. This heater has provided the perfect solution for her!

I bought this unit because it looked cool and was wall mountable.

Pros:

Nice design

Heats well*

Does not dry the air which is awesome! We use this in a cold drafty room and it ends up nice and toasty after a bit.

Comes with remote

Cons:

It always starts at Celsius rather than Fahrenheit which is annoying unless you are used to it.

Thermostat is inaccurate for us so we figured to bump it up 2 degrees to get the right amount of heat in Auto mode most of the time.*

Beep is very loud when setting temp or mode so we do it as quickly as we can so as to not disturb the kids when they are sleeping.

Note: As with most heaters of this type there will be noises as metal expands and contracts but it doesn't bother the kids.

I bought this for my office above my garage. It looked good. Seemed to do a pretty good job heating about 300 sq ft for about two months. Then, it quit working. The display works, the heat doesn't. Looking into returning it. Not sure if it's past the expiration time to return. Disappointed to say the least.

We have been using this now for several months through a very cold Los Angeles winter, in my drafty 100 year old house and it's worked great. It heats up quicker than I expected and while it doesn't make our bedroom 'surface of the sun' hot, that is fine as it's not what I was looking for. The heater has worked flawlessly and is absolutely quiet while operating. To address a couple issues tht have been brought up, yes it has no button to lower the temp which yes is a very odd oversight indeed, and yes it's odd that the unit defaults to centigrade. However both these are true non issues, it takes two seconds to recitfy the need to lower the temp and another two seconds to rectify the centegrade issue, in other words this is truly a case of making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I'd happily buy several of these for every part of my house.

I have owned the Princeton for 2 years, and, except for a faulty kettle, which Discount Tommy quickly took care of by sending me a replacement kettle, I have had no problems whatsoever. In fact, one of the glass doors got broken during the warranty period, and Discount Tommy was good enough to send me a replacement!

The machine works as advertised, but you must take the time to let the kettle heat the oil up to get the best results. The 3 switches make for great control, and save useless wear and tear when you only need to heat the oil. This popper si a great value for the price!

I bought this popper because I wanted "more authentic movie theater style popcorn" than microwave popcorn. This product has exceeded all my expectations. It is a very sturdy machine, and significantly less expensive than comparable poppers. It was originally intended solely for home use, but the kids had a blast selling popcorn at our neighborhood garage sale. We were popping batch after batch and the Princeton Popper performed like a champ. Its real nice having the 8 oz capacity so you can pop larger batches. The heat lamp works great at keeping the pop corn warm and crisp.

I purchased the Great Northern Popcorn machine for our concession stand, the machine performed very well and kept up with the long lines for the hot buttery popcorn. Everyone was pleased most of all us since we had the "ONLY" Popcorn machine at the event. Still running strong after 3 years, we use it for football game, and at home in the off season!! Thanks Great American Popcorn!!!

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn 6045 Princeton Antique Popcorn Maker

I love my popcorn machine purchased from Discount Tommy's. First of all, it makes delicious popcorn that makes watching movies or just hanging out playing pool with friends and family a blast. We use the pre-packaged popcorn with butter/oil and it really is as good as movie-theater popcorn. Next, the machine looks great out on display and is relatively easy to clean. Most importantly for me, the customer service from Discount Tommy's has been phenomenal. A few months after we bought our machine, the turning mechanism was getting stuck. We tried to trouble shoot but didn't have any luck. I emailed customer service and after sending them a picture of the trouble part, they immediately sent out a replacement at no charge. They were responsive and a pleasure to deal with! I highly recommend this product.

This unit does a great job heating my workshop. The bracket allows me to mount it to my ceiling so it doesn't take up any additional space. It is much quieter than the last heater I had. It's alot of power for the price. I would recommend it.

I bought this to heat a mostly insulated 3-car garage workshop. This unit would struggle to heat this much space in a severe climate but our winters here in the Pacific Northwest are fairly mild. My garage is quite comfortable to work in after an hour or so when outside temperatures are in the 35 to 40 degree range. The unit is thermostatically controlled so you just need to let the space get to the temperature you want and turn the dial on the back down until the heater turns off. From there it will turn itself on and off as needed. It is a bit on the loud side, but isn't nearly so loud as the power tools I'm using. I suspect this would be quite expensive to run if you used it to heat a garage all winter, but it's fine if all you want to do is heat it a day or two a week. The upside is that this has made my garage workshop useable year round and I don't have to wait until spring to begin work on projects.

We used this item in our Kidding barn for our goats....it needs to be 45-50 degrees in the barn when the kids are born and the heater kept the 18 X 40 ft barn toasty during February in South Dakota.

Honest reviews on Dimplex CUH05B31T 3750/5000-Watt Compact Industrial Unit Heater

Heater was installed using 208V about 4 weeks ago in a large electrical room. I have the built in thermostat set to 4 and the Dimplex heater keeps the upper part of the 14' high cielings very warm, the lowerpart of the room is cool but comfortable. I might install a cieling fan to push the warm air down.

I installed two of these in a 20 x 30 ft industrial space. On a cold day in Boston, 20 F., the room gets to 65 F after about an hour. If I had enough power coming to the room, I'd add a third just to have the BTUs to heat the room quickly, but in general two seems to be enough. The room is comfortable and as spring draws closer and thing warm up a bit, these two babies will be just fine.

Very easy to install. One of the heaters clanged when it ran. I had to open it up and bend one of the fan blades -hence the 4 stars.

This heater is part of Dimplex's commercial heaters line. Dimplex also makes a similar unit under its Industrial line -the EUHxxxx. It's about twice the price with fancier heater element and the thermostat in the front rather than the rear. Same BTU output. I have no idea what the practical difference between the two is.

I recommend this unit.
