325 Watt Calesco Waterbed Heater For California King, Queen & Super Reviews

Waterbed heater reliability is important, because when a heater fails, you have to drain the water to replace the heater. I had exactly that experience, and bought this unit as a replacement. This heater seems to be a high quality device, and I am pleased so far. It appears to be made in Sweden.

I use waterbed heaters to heat 180 gallons of solution (about the same for a king sized waterbed) in my floatation tanks for my business. I have now purchased 3 from this company and each one works great and I haven't had one go out yet.

We have a king size waterbed and our heater went out. I purchased one of these models and it didn't heat up at all so the sent me a replacement heater. Then the one they sent me heated up just a little so I am disappointed in this brand. It may have worked on a smaller bed but will not heat up the 235 gallons in the king size mattress. Nothing like sleeping in a cold bed. So nothing like draining the water the 3rd time for another heater.

Honest reviews on 325 Watt Calesco Waterbed Heater For California King, Queen & Super

Amazon needs a negative star rating. I purchased this unit 2 or 3 years ago and it never seemed to heat right. I am very disgusted with this product. I have owned waterbeds for over 20 years and never had a heater give me so much trouble. Don't buy this brand unless you like sleeping on cold water.

I have a wonderful enclosed porch that is 3 seasons. My real estate agent told me about this product and how adding it would increase my home's square footage by 200 sq ft, because the room would be a 4 season room. Not only does the product produce heat, is reasonably priced, it increased the resale value of my home by $30,000. That is what I call a huge Wow!

I got one of these for my master bedroom last month and I'm so in love with it that I already placed an order of the 400W heater from the same manufacturer for two of my other bedrooms too.

I was a little apprehensive in the beginning as there weren't much reviews for this product, but I decided to take a chance. And I'm very happy with the result.

1) Installation Very easy and quick to install

2) Power Consumption Very low, so saves a lot on your electricity bill

3) Noise Absolutely quiet, no hot air blowing out of the vent anymore

4) Design The product is very sleek and looks great anywhere in the house

5) Price Worth every penny. I've browsed some other similar products and this has the best price online.

6) Child/Pet Friendly Totally! The outer surface is perfectly insulated, so no heat flows on or around it.

Bottom line: Great product! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes to save on their heating bills and who like a noise-free "COZY" sleeping environment.

****Update 10-5-11****Unit has died (heating element apparently went out). Now out of warranty since it has been 4 years. On the one had I hate to spend $135+ to get a new one, but on the other hand, once you've had one of these things, it's hard to go back to the traditional coffeemaker. It did make great coffee for 4 years, and I loved having my coffee ready in just a minute or two. Despite the fact that I would have liked to get more than 4 years out of my original purchase, I will probably buy another one.

****Update 2-27-09****

My coffee maker developed a leak. I dusted off my original paperwork, and was very happy to see that this unit comes with a 3 year warranty. I sent it back to Bunn, and they sent me a brand new unit. Painless and relatively quick (less than a week). Yet another reason to buy a Bunn. The only thing I would mention is that I had to pay to have the old unit shipped back to them. Cost me $13 UPS, so it's not really that big a deal, but I just have this old fashioned notion that if something is covered by warranty, it shouldn't cost the consumer a penny to get it fixed or replaced.

****Original Review****

I don't see why anyone would buy a traditional glass carafe coffeemaker. The heating element scorches the coffee after about 15-20 minutes, so if you haven't finished the pot by then, you end throwing the rest away. At least I used to, until I discovered thermal carafes years ago.

I really like this coffeemaker. I am a big coffee drinker, and I usually make 1 pot in the morning, 1 pot in the afternoon, and 1 pot at night. The quality of the coffee that it brews is excellent, and I like the fact that the coffee is ready in 3 minutes.

A few other observations:

-I have not had any problem with the carafe. No spills or dribbles, and it keeps the coffee piping hot for a good 90 minutes, and then drinkably hot for another 2 hours. I especially like the fact that you don't need to open and close the lid to pour the coffee. The lids stays in the closed position while the coffee is brewing and it stays in the closed position when you pour it from the carafe.

-I have not had any problem with the basket overflowing or grinds in my coffee, but I have noticed that the grinds rise up to the tippy top of the filter, and I use Bunn filters which are a little taller than most. Although I have not had a problem myself, I can see where someone who likes an extra strong brew and adds a little more coffee might have an issue. For me it works, and I use about 10 tablespoons of coffee per full pot.

-I don't particularly like the automatic feature that starts the brewing cycle as soon as you close the lid to the water chamber. I would prefer to have a button to press, but its not a huge deal for me. Like another reviewer, I can see potential disaster if I have company or overnight guests and they want to make the coffee, and I haven't briefed them on how the machine works.

-Price is high when compared to the Mr. Coffee type machines with glass carafes, but I really do notice a difference in the taste of the coffee when I visit friends and they break out their $30 coffee maker after dinner. I think the price is a fair price for what you get, and although I haven't had it long enough to comment on its durability, Bunn typically makes products that stand up over time.

-The entire machine does have a rather large footprint, and it is bit taller than many coffeemakers. I have alot of counter space and my cabinets are high, so its not an issue for me, but do yourself a favor and take 30 seconds to measure the space where you intend to put the machine to make sure it will fit nicely.

Overall, if you're into good coffee, and you're willing to spend the money, and you're willing to overlook a few very minor flaws (see above) I would highly recommend this machine.

I bought this brewer in October. At first I was very happy with it. Then the carafe started leaking so bad it was ridiculous. I called Bunn a couple of days ago and the lady told me to wash the spout and the seal around the rim with Dawn dishwashing soap (she specifically said Dawn which I happened to have on hand) and the carafe would perform much better. She said that after a number of uses the oil from the coffee keeps the seal from sealing well. I hung up fully expecting to call her back in a few minutes. I washed the carafe as she suggested and it works like new again... no leaks!! If you have this pot, try it, you'll be amazed at the difference. Now I love this brewer again!

We purchased this to replace an aging Mr. Coffee. The Mr. Coffee was programmable, which was nice when I remembered, but when I didn't it could take nearly 20 minutes to brew a pot. That is a long wait in the morning. We considered this or the Braun programmable, which appeared to be rated well, but I couldn't determine how long it took to brew. I knew I wanted speed.

I got speed. This thing is fast. By two and a half minutes its down to waiting on the last drips to come out of the basket. The coffee's flavor is excellent, but a little weaker than I like. I upped the amount of coffee to the recommended tbsp per cup (which would yield very bitter coffee on other machines I've had) and its back to where I like it. A darker roasted coffee would also add a lot of strength. I enjoy the fact that the coffee doesn't sit on a burner and cook too. The carafe has done a great job of keeping the coffee hot for hours at a time. I've had no real trouble about the carafe dripping.. this may be because the Mr. Coffee trained me to go slower to avoid such drips.

Another point: I checked and the Bunn filters ARE taller than my others. The coffee grinds do get pretty high on the filter, so I can imagine that getting off-brand filters would get you grinds in your coffee. Just buy the Bunn filters at your local megamart. They're not that expensive. Also, decaf and/or finely ground coffee does sometimes overflow the filter anyway. The manual mentions this and offers a free replacement sprayhead to improve this. We don't drink a huge amount of decaf, so I don't think we'll ask for it.

I've tried some premium coffees again, and am happy to report that they are worth it now. A good coffeemaker does make a difference in the quality of the coffee.

Pros: Very fast. Coffee tastes very good. No burning the coffee on the carafe warmer. Keeps the coffee hot. Did I mention fast?

Cons: Coffee seems a tad weak. Very finely ground coffee, and decaf, sometimes overflow the filter a bit. I wish it had a button to press to brew instead of closing the top.. I foresee a big mess if company is up before me (It starts pouring coffee out the basket as soon as you close the lid, you HAVE to have the carafe in place).

Would I have been happy with the Braun? Probably. But I bet its not as fast, and after years of inadequate coffeemakers, I'm happy to have one this quick, and making coffee this good.

Honest reviews on BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer

We received this coffeemaker as an upgrade when our last Bunn was recalled due to a manufacturing defect. (NB: Bunn has excellent customer service and is conscientious about recall notifications, and I recommend the company highly. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product.) We have been fans of Bunn coffeemakers for years; our first home machine provided us with at least 14,000 pots of fresh, hot coffee before it succumbed to the ravages of time and Minnesota's hard water. We tried very hard to like this model, but ultimately its flaws outweighed its benefits, and we are now shopping for a new coffee maker. The flaws include:

An incredibly drippy carafe. There does not seem to be any way to predict when it will drip or in which direction. Sometimes only a few drops fall from the carafe; sometimes, it spills 1/4 to 1/2 cup of coffee across the countertop.

The internal assembly (which Bunn fans will know is cleaned with a tightly coiled metal reaming spring) is much more difficult to clean in this unit than in our past ones.

This model also seems far less forgiving of our hard water than previous ones and requires cleaning much more frequently. We've had trouble with calcium buildup even with softened water in both the brewer and the lid of the carafe. This and the completely opaque carafe (in combination with our increasing age and forgetfulness) have led to some huge messes in the kitchen, with coffee running over and even into the cabinets below the coffee maker.

Like most thermal carafes, this one does not keep the coffee warm enough for us, and we go through coffee very quickly. I don't see this working at all for most people.

On the brighter side, you will have a fast cup of coffee most of the time, and you will be doing business with a company that deserves its good reputation. If you ask me, though, I'd suggest you buy the model without the thermal carafe unless you own stock in a paper towel company.

This brewer surprised me a little when I received it. First of all, it is fairly difficult to figure out because it holds two pots of water at a time. For most of us, this is a strange concept. However, it works well because one pot's worth of water stays hot all the time and the other that you pour in, replenishes the hot water in the lower chamber. It seems like a waste of enrgy to me so I put it on a timer to keep it from sitting there at 170 degrees or so all the time.

It brews a great pot of coffee at the proper temperature unlike many thermal carafe units.

All in all a great unit. But if you don't do well at programming VCRs than this isn't the unit for you. This is unit is probably geared more toward commercial or constant use. It brews a pot of coffee FAST as in three minutes because the water is already hot.

The carafe itself is very well made if not a bit tricky at first. You use your thumb to push the top part of the handle counterclockwise while holding the handle in your hand to get the top started so you can open it. Again, a little counter intuitive at first but very well made.

I like the Bunn better than any coffee maker I have owned, ever, but be prepared to have to give multiple lessons on its use to other family members.

No more juggling side dishes in and out of oven trying to make sure everything is warm. No runs to microwave to heat a plate.

I tried putting food in from fridge and after about 2 hours was luke warm so I put the sides in the oven to heat them up then transferred them into the buffet server and put on high.

Kept everything warm, burnt dressing a little on bottom so I would say leave on low if you have already heated your sides.

Did not give it 5 stars because there was no opening in the top for serving spoons.

Overall very pleased with purchase and price.

I have several Oster brand products and love each one. Since I cook in large quantities and entertain often it's SO helpful to have the 'right' products. The Oster stainless stell buffet server IS one of those 'right' products!

It is a piece of cake (no pun intended) to set up, fill up, use and clean up! One tip put food in warm / hot NOT cold. This buffet server will keep your food warm and at the perfect setting for hours but it will not heat it up / cook it / burn it like some others will. I love it and I have have used it several times already. I can see using it often for many years to come.

Its a excellent product but you will have to be carafull to manage it because the ceramic body breaks easely, still will work at perfection the heater strip material. If you use it without a controller your plastics as 1/2"thick will bubble before get to the point of bending if you try to heat them just from 1 side, What I did is flip the pice (1/2") every minute for 7-10 minutes and that will do the bending with out bubble the plastic. Also I think you can work it with thicker materials as 3/4 or maybe an 1" but you will need to be flip them.

Also the guys from FTM, Inc. ship me really fast and very helpfull.

I bought this to replace a failed unit in an addition to my house. This room is not on the ductwork for the central A/C, so it needs its own unit.

This model is slightly wider than my old unit, so I also replaced the sleeve (EA108T). This is a through-the-wall mount and requires a sleeve, though if there is an existing sleeve and it's large enough, you can use that. The unit comes with a new grill for the back of the sleeve, and various foam pieces to apply to the sleeve to make the unit fit. Note that you must remove any existing grill or plate from the back of the sleeve.

Mounting the sleeve in the wall is the hard part; the A/C itself just slides in. Both the A/C and heat work fine.

As with any heavy item, it's prone to being damaged by the delivery company. Inspect it carefully and file a complaint if it's damaged. The box for mine had some dings in it, but the unit itself was fine.

We ordered this for a renovated garage apartment. I thought it was like most air conditioning units. The fan runs constantly, but the compressor kicks on when needed. This unit does not do this, the fan turns off and on along with the compressor. The off and on is VERY annoying while either sleeping or watching TV. It is a CONSTANT battle of the noise. I would not purchase this item if you do either of these in the same room.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA10EHT2 10,000 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

This requires a 250v 20amp fuse and dedicated circuit. The plug is NEMA 6-20, which has one flat vertical, one flat horizontal and one round prong. The outlet has to match in both configuration and volt/amp. I happen to have a 20amp fuse/circuit even though the old air conditioner was using a 15 amp plug/outlet, so I can change the outlet without any issues but I got lucky. If I had a fuse/dedicated circuit that was 15 amp I would be calling an electrician to replace it.

I ordered two of these, one arrived too damaged to install very poorly handled. It is packed correctly, someone just plain dropped it on the far back corner of the unit and that took all of the weight. Ruined it through the styrofoam packing. They are taking "48-72 hours" to decide if I should get a replacement, which translates into 6-9 working days or around two weeks. In the meantime, that particular room is not inhabitable.

The second unit runs fine, and it comes with a remote which I was not expecting, but the water collects in a pool in the bottom pan and you hear water dripping throughout use. There is no apparent drain so it has nowhere to go. Dripping water is not a favorite sound of mine. I have combed through the manufacturer's documentation and can't find any reference to how the water should drain out, except that the unit has to be slanted back so that water flows in that direction.

People have been making and selling room air conditioners for quite a while now. You'd think they would have this all down by now.

Cheap Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black

Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I'm fond of some of the 'thicker' smokier coffees. Mocha Matari (while difficult to find) is among my favorites. Normal drip pots (including some expensive ones) don't provide the complexity of flavor I enjoy. (I suspect the water is too hot, the brewing cycle is too long, and the coffee is over-extracted.)

One of my daughters is a coffee fanatic. She brought me some Ethopian coffee that she insisted I just had to try. So I ground it up, brewed it with the Bunn, and tasted it. The coffee was great. But my daughter's comments were revealing. "This tastes so good at home, but so much better here. My birthday is coming up -I know what I want for a gift."

And that's basically what it comes down to. Even supermarket "100% Columbian" coffee tastes pretty good, better than it has any right to taste.

There are a couple of down-sides, though. It keeps the water hot all the time, and that means that the water evaporates over time. Get accustomed to brewing a pot a day, and if you brew two pots in a row, you'll get more water than you expect and the coffee will be thin. Go away for the weekend, and you'll have less water than you expected when you return. Also, the brewing does not over-extract the coffee compared to most other brewing machines, and that means that to get the strength of coffee you want, you'll probably want to use about 20% more coffee than what you're accustomed to. Also, the quick extraction seems to brew the coffee with less caffeine, so if coffee is something you use to get started after not enough sleep, and not something to savor, this may not be for you.

But what you get in return is something that doesn't just open your eyes, but that tastes better than you probably thought was possible. For my money, there is no second choice.

Also -stock up on the Bunn filter papers. They're deeper, and that's necessary to keep grounds from overflowing. The quick brew cycle means that there's more water in with the coffee than with typical coffee brewers, and standard filters can't contain all that water.

I've never reviewed an Amazon item before, but will give it a shot because this coffee-maker is so great.

I do a lot of research before buying any home products, including televisions, audio equipment, and even my toaster. I typically drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and 1-2 cups in the evening. I was looking for a coffee maker that recreated the coffee-house experience, as most home brewers do not taste as good as a fresh cup from an industrial brewer.

After much thought and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Bunn NHB despite complaints of weak flavor, cool coffee, and a higher price than most brewers given the relative paucity of features.

After about 5 months, I love it. My girlfriend loves it. We can't drink coffee from other home brewing machines now. We use Peet's Coffee Major Dickason blend primarily. It is true that you need more grounds for this machine. I use about 2/3 to 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup as labeled on the side of the decanter. Realize that it takes about 2 "cups" by this scale to fill a regular coffee mug. This machine brews quickly without over-extraction, so you trade grounds economy for flavor essentially.

As far as coffee heat, 200 degrees is hot enough for me, which the Bunn is preset to brew at. 12 degrees hotter and you have steam, right? The warming plate works well and cleans up easily, made of ceramic and not metal. Keep in mind that after more than 20 minutes on the plate, the coffee will start to taste bitter. So if you're the type to milk a pot for an hour or so, the stainless steel insulated one may be for you. Since I drink two mugs worth myself, the 3-4 tablespoon for 4 cup ratio is great for me. I wouldn't brew less than this at any given time, as the machine seems to have trouble brewing smaller volumes accurately. To reiterate another frequently addressed point, if you brew less than 2x per week, add more water than you anticipate to need, as evaporation of preheated water will occur. More than a week on vacation, and you should use the vacation mode switch discussed in other reviews.

A typical problem for some folks is overflow. I have not experienced this as long as I use the taller Bunn brand filters, using up to 8 tablespoons of grounds with the high-flow 3-minute brewing spray-head. The filters cost more than regular filters, but over a year this equals one frappacino, so I got over it.

An added perk is that you have an instant hot water source. I like to switch it up sometimes and have French press coffee. Of course you need a coarser grind for this, but you just pour the requisite amount of water in the top of this machine, and within a minute or two there's perfect temperature/volume water. I've even made a cup-o-noodles successfully, for you college folks living in a dorm who stay up all night.

One more reminder. There is no "on" or "make coffee" switch or button. When you slide open the top of the machine, you are committed. The instant you close the lid, hot water starts flowing. Never close the lid without both the filter holder and pot in place. By the way, clean-up is a breeze. I love the removable filter holder; just dump grounds plus filter in the trash without dripping on your kitchen floor. The whole thing cleans easily, and the black color doesn't show brown stains after long-time use.

Overall, a great machine if you want a great-tasting pot of coffee fast and you're willing to spend a little extra for it.

I never take the time to write reviews, but this Coffee Maker deserves it!

I have purchased every high-end coffe maker out there over the past few years, and every one had issues of one kind or another.

This product is fantastic! Simple, with no bells and whistles. Just a great tasting cup of coffee in lightning time.

And it looks like it should last years with no problem.

Honest reviews on Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black

Everything about this coffee maker should be excellent. It brews extraordinarily fast and it brews the most consistent cup of coffee I've ever had. All good, right?

Well, that's the problem with this coffee maker: is that it makes the exact same cup of coffee every time, just like the Bunn's I use in my restaurant background. So if you want a really strong cup of coffee, forget it. In fact regardless of how much you vary from your grind or amount, the coffee tastes exactly the same in 3 minutes. (which, frankly is amazing).

So this coffee maker is for a person who wants a medium, no-fuss cup of coffee. If you're looking for coffee with a lot of body and strength, I'd suggest another model.

PS. the 3 minute brew time is amazing.

I like this machine. It keeps the next pot of coffee water hot using a low power heater in the tank in waiting for you to start the next brew cycle. The coffee basket is so easy to access, the basket filters are easy to fill (unlike some cone or swivel baskets) and easy to empty. I just pour in the new water (I do 5 cups at a time), put the carafe in place and activate the warmer plate ... in less than 2 minutes the coffee is completely done. Bunn's customer service is excellent, I called for a restricter to slow down the coffee brewer so I can get a stronger result and it arrived within a few days no questions asked.

One more thing, this machine makes coffee well, that's it. It doesn't beep at you, it doesn't tell the time, it doesn't need a programming guide, it just makes coffee. That's all I want from my coffee maker!

Review of Lakewood 205 1320 Watt Fan Forced Radiant Heater

Right out of the box, this heater made a extremely loud noise. It sounded like the fan was bad by the loud clicking.

I took it apart to find out that the fan was ok, but the wiring wasn't secured in any way and it was actually being hit by the fan. Would have been a matter of time had it been left running before the wires insulation whittled down and exposed the wires causing a short and possible spark/fire.

On top of that, the little red button on the face was broken off.

As far as heating, it was good.

If you are looking for heat..this is the heater you want. Yes, it makes some noise, but nothing more than a large fan. It has a sensor on it, and anything that moves or topples the heater, will cause it to turn off.

I have had this heater from my dorm room to my large apt bed room (4 years) and its doing great, keeping me warm and the heating bills down.

Cons: Can be noisy..(expected considering how much heat it puts out and how large of an area it can cover)

Pros: AWESOME HEAT (even in large areas)

This heater is worthless. I have it on all day at the hightest setting about 6 inches from my legs and it still can't keep me warm. The problem is it runs for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes then it turns off. Waits about 3 minutes then it turns on again. Same pattern all day. I'm buying another and tossing this in the recycle. I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy.

Spend your money elsewhere, but definitely not on this piece of crap.

Honest reviews on Lakewood 205 1320 Watt Fan Forced Radiant Heater

OK This heater was GREAT when it worked and was perfect for the bathroom when someone is getting ready on those cold mornings. I didn't find it to be very noisy at all. Not sure what that's about in the other review; just a slight hum for what you would expect a heater like this to make due to the small fan. At any rate, that's really all it was used for JUST the bathroom. I put it away in the closet out of reach and this fall just put it back in its spot in the bathroom and now guess what happens? You turn it on, it stays on for 30 seconds, turns off for two good minutes, then turns back on for 30 seconds. The thermostat must be bad. What a bummer!

I remember growing up in the 80s and my grandma had a similar heater to this in her bathroom. The thing worked for decades.

Oh well off to buy another heater and add some more to the landfill!

Thanks Lakewood : D

I purchased this item on Nov. 2, 2011, (received it on Nov. 9, 2011), replacing an existing heater that had gone out. It was easy to hook up to the existing line that was already installed in the room from the old heater. I have NO complaints about the heater, I love it, it does everything it say and then some. It has a glass plate along with a screen in the front of it, which at first when I read that it's a 'cool touch' heater, I was very sceptically about that, but honestly it is very cool to the touch, even in the front! The only place the heat comes out is at the top and us having dogs in the house, makes this very comforting to me, as our old one was a 'brick' burner heater and it did leave the front open to being able to get to the flame and the bricks and possibly getting burnt or worse. In an approximate 15x15 area room, we can comfortable set it around 1-2 on the dial and stay very toasty with it. It's a dual gas heater, meaning you have have either natural gas or propane to hook it to, we have the propane, which there was nothing to do but hook it to the right line hole, (which are very clearly marked) and didn't have to worry about setting any other settings with it, it also has an electronic push button ignition, which does not even take batteries to work it and comes with a bunch of safety features as well. I plan on getting a larger one to replace the old brick burner we now have in our living room, but first I would like to let you know about the seller we purchased it from through Amazon, Northern Tools & Equipment, it states both here on Amazon and Northern's website that it comes with a blower,(but can't be used with this model), IT DOES NOT! I have went through countless emails back and forth about this between Amazon and Northern Tools, they, (Northern Tools & Equipment) just keep telling me that they will refund the money if I send it back to them and AFTER it passes THEIR inspection, which anyone will tell you that it won't after being hooked up! So, when I order my next ProCom heater I WILL NOT order it through Northern Tools & Equipment! I will make doubly sure that it comes from another seller and not Northern Tools! They will not stand by what they sell as far as what is suppose to come with it. I have no problems with Amazon, I have purchased many, many items over many years through them and will continue to make purchases through Amazon, they are a great company to buy from, they strongly stand behind what they sell and they have done everything in their power to correct this problem, but Northern Tools & Equipment refuses to co-operate, except as I stated earlier to return the product and refund my money after it passes inspection. So, if you want a very good heater that is easy to hook up and does what it says it will do, then I highly suggest the ProCom heater and it does come with a one year warranty included.

I purchased this unit to replace a ProCom 10,000 btu unit I had gotten in Quartzsite, Arizona 7 years ago. That unit worked fine until last winter when it wouldn't stay lit. I thought this was the same unit until I received it & it said on the box "not for use in an rv" It also said that it would not work above 4,500 ft. None of this was mentioned on the web site. I returned it having to pay postage both ways.

The thermostat works perfect. Just the right size for the rv. Set it up with a fast connect hose under the fridge.

I purchased mine on sale at Northern Tool while visiting my in-laws during Christmas of 2009. I grew up in the family plumbing business so was able to install the gas line myself, but those without experience will need professional installation. If you are replacing an existing appliance it is a non-issue. Otherwise, gas pipe and installation will cost more than the unit itself.

We live in Appalachia where power can go out for days and intended it to provide backup heat for one room. Once installed, however, the warm glow of the blue flame was irresistible and it has been on every winter since. We set its thermostat slightly lower than that of our inefficient central heat which now kicks on just often enough to disperse the heat and provide ventilation. This appliance has paid for itself in savings on our gas bill! It is supposed to only heat 300 Sq. Ft., but 700 Sq. Ft. is comfortable with a sweater when power is out and outside temperatures are below freezing.

We used to run our generator constantly when power was out just for the furnace fan, but since we bought this we can rely on a $100 inverter to cool our freezer an hour in the morning and evening and watch TV a few hours a night. Instead of standing in the freezing cold every 6 hours to refill the generator, we could fill up our Jeep once every two weeks. We live near the well heads, but if natural gas would be interrupted it will run about 3 days on a 20# propane grill tank (left outside).

An Excellent, well-built little heater (I now own two of this model).

The mandatory things I needed included:

1. A room sensitive/automatic thermostat (NOT the low-med-high manual type)

2. The size needed to be around 10,000 BTU's

3. That it was made by a trusted company

4. Priced low enough to fit my retirement budget

This unit fit the bill perfectly. I have used a much larger PROCOM heater as my primary living space heater for many years and, as long as I clean out the pilot every year (shut off for the summer), it runs perfectly.

The good:

The unit was well packed and the Installation instructions were accurate.

Everything needed to install the heater(including wall mounting anchors/screws and an allen wrench to UN-cork the gas port) was included.

The unit has a glass cover plate that extends across much of the front burn area (behind the metal grill) which serves as an added flame safety device, dust shield and draft blocker (to keep the pilot from being blown out) which is really an excellent idea. Access to this area to service the pilot is via four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom of the front grill.

-The igniter spark is strong and consistent. Once air was out of the gas pipe the pilot lit quickly and stays on.

The bad:

Nothing to speak of.

Notes:

As a dual use type (can be set to either Natural gas or Propane) it has two internal regulators and independent pilot systems. You should note that the pilot on the right is for the propane. It burns cleanly and fully covers the thermocouple which glows red as it should.

The gas pipe inlet ports are located on the bottom left as you face the heater. I ran my 1/2" black pipe to the left of the heater which allowed for a gentle "s" type curve of the flex pipe. I also purchased the Mr. Heater F271239 One-Stop Universal Gas-Appliance Hook-Up Kit which has everything you will need (except a gas pressure tap which is optional as long as you know your line pressure is in spec.)

The temperature sensing bulb is on the back of the heater very close to the bottom edge. Being on the back, you should be aware of the temperature of the wall you are mounting the heater to. I needed to mount one of my units on a cement wall which constantly radiates cool air during the winter. To minimize excessive and false thermostat turn-on, I insulated the wall behind the heater with 1" hard board insulation then used 2x4 pieces to stand the heater off the wall. So far, so good.

Summary:

The unit burns cleanly with a perfect blue flame and It puts out a good amount of heat for the modest size of the flame area. I liked the heater so much that I purchased a second one and will now be able to run the entire winter with the oil burner off.

Good luck and stay warm!

I bought this heater to take the chill off some of the cold days we had in Florida this last "winter". I did not need to put on my central heating system to heat the whole house when I am in the living room, this little heater did the job just fine.

This chair has positives: Good looking, solid construction, easy to assemble and reasonably priced. However, I returned the two I bought because they were uncomfortable for me to sit in because of the flat back. Adirondack chairs appear to have two designs for chair backs -The flat back like this chair and the curved back. For me, the curved back is much more comfortable, though more expensive.

I bought 2 polywood lounge chairs last year and love them. Just received 2 polywood adriondack chairs and their great too. They are well made and will look lovely on my patio. Can't wait to use them. I recommend them to anyone who doesn't have room to store. I left my lounge chairs out all winter and they look great. The cold and snow did not effect them.

After years of replacing wooden Adirondack chairs, we finally switched to synthetic fiber chairs. These chairs are made with recycled materials and are very sturdy and solid. These chairs were easy to assemble and look great. We have them on our front patio and have gotten tons of comments on how great they look. They are also very comfortable.

I was looking for some chairs to use around our fire pit. I wanted a fun color and something that I could just leave out, and not worry about fading, rusting, etc. I found these, and ordered 4 of them along with a side table.

They arrived when they were suppose to; one box was slightly damaged, but the parts were fine. We assembled them and put them outside. From when I got them (mid June 2012) until November they were in full sun. I covered them with a tarp during the winter months.

I just pulled them out again in mid April (2013) and they still look great. I did not notice any fading, which was my main concern. They appear just as they were advertised. They get lots of compliments and are very sturdy. I am happy

If they would have come assembled, I would have given the 5th star.
