Review of MSZ-GE15NA

Customer Ratings:

We purchased a ductless heat pump (Mitsubishi MSZ-D30NA) two years ago. It's cut our winter electric bill in half. We had no air conditioning before we installed this unit so our summer electric bills are a little higher depending on how hot our summers are here in the Northwest. This unit has performed flawlessly with no maintenance except for vacuuming the filters. It's so quite that we barely hear the inside unit and the outside unit is also very quite. It also has a very handy remote control. We have a 2000 sq ft one level home and this unit, with just one evaporator mounted in the family room, heats and cools the entire home except for the master bath. It's amazing the amount of heat that it puts out even in the cold winter. This unit is bigger than was recomended by the contractor. My thought was to have a higher output unit that would not have to work as hard. I could of had a smaller less expensive unit. The inside mounted evaporator is fairly large hanging on the wall near the ceiling but after a while we don't even notice it. When visitors come over they don't even notice it unless we point it out. With this 30,600 btu unit you could run 3 or 4 more inside units, say to upstairs bedrooms. This is a much less expensive way to have heat and air conditioning installed in an exesisting home that doesn't have duct work. Some public unilities offer rebates for ductless pumps.

OK, I have had this humidifier for about two months now. Make sure you are aware of the requirements of a filter-free humidifier before you buy one. First of all, I couldn't stand having a filtered humidifier. Constantly having to buy filters, they'd be out of stock at Target, unavailable for my brand at the supermarket, just too annoying, and honestly, they're several bucks every time. Why can't I just clean my own humidifier?

So here's the thing. If you opt to go filter free, read the documentation. I think a lot of the negative reviewers here aren't following the instructions... you have to clean your humidifier ONCE A WEEK. Some people are reporting, 'I have had my humidifier for a month and it's starting to stink.' Well, have you cleaned it four times since you've had it?

And yes, I would say, it's a bit of stretch to call this whisper quiet. Like any device running while you're trying to sleep, you're going to hear it. And when you're lying down trying to fall asleep, anything can sound like a freight train. But yes, I would not call this whisper quiet. It's just as loud as any other humidifier I've experienced. Being someone who likes to sleep in pitch dark, though, I'd say the very bright on-light is more annoying than the sound. I find the whisping whirr of it quite calming.

And the bottom line here is, I've slept wonderfully since I bought it. I wake up and find that I've been breathing through my nose instead of mouth-breathing like I had been. Because my sinuses are staying open and moistened.

So there you have it. If you want to go filter-free, you're taking on the task of cleaning it. Three quick release screws, soaking the base and intake tube in white vinegar, rinsing, putting it back together.

For me this has worked perfectly for months now, keeping the air in the room with my guitar at just the right humidity. I bought mine elsewhere but have had others and this one works just fine if you know what you are doing and take precautions. Not for every one, but for most, the red / orange is not mold but iron in your water. For most but not all, the white powder is lime in your water. This is a fact of life for many areas of the country and why people use water filters and water softeners. If you are in a problem area, use a Brita pitcher to filter the water you fill it with. I have tried it with our softened water with no problems but we recently got rid of the softener and will soon be switching to truly filtered water for the entire house. Until then I use a filtered water pitcher. All humidifiers have this problem. Even Consumers gave none more then an average rating for this problem. Baking soda, light bleach mixture, special cleaner, or just let it completely dry out once in a while and you, as I am, will probably be happy with the unit. Mine is still running clear and clean. For the money, this one ca't be beaten.

As so many others have stated, this product is a complete waste of money, and, I believe, a health hazard. If I could give it "0" stars I would. Despite my best efforts to use filtered water, a ProTec cartridge, and disinfect all reachable parts on a weekly basis with vinegar and/or bleach, mold has grown in the motor housing that is impossible to reach in order to properly sanitize this product. After contacting Kaz, I was told the same thing as so many others (I was hoping maybe they had changed their policy), that I would have to send the item back on my own dime, just to receive the same piece of junk as a replacement. Then, once I received the new one, I should "empty all the water from the tank and base (daily). Then run the unit without any water in it for at least 1 hour to dry the fan housing. If you do not want to run the unit without any water I would just remove the fan housing and unscrew the bottom cover and lay the fan housing on its side so it can air dry." Yeah, like I have the time to do that every day with two small children and one on the way. So this humidifier will probably end up in the trash, a waste of $45 + tax.

FYI, in the last couple of weeks I have purchased a Crane humidifier which doesn't require a filter either (unless you have hard water), for less money, and so far I haven't had any issues with it. It does its job perfectly! From now on, I will not be purchasing any more Vicks/Kaz products due to their complete lack of concern that they have sold a health hazard and aren't taking any responsibility to rectify the situation.

Honest reviews on Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier

I would recommended this humidifier. It is pretty quiet, and I have it running all night to humidify the air. I can put the tray in the dishwasher to clean. No filter needed. I am not sure what the negative opinions that I read other readers write are all about. It is not been my experience. Yes, you need to clean it. But you have to clean all humidifiers. This one is easier than others though. It got a great report from Consumers Report, and that has been my experience as well.

I've had this unit for five months and dropped the Protect cartridge in there every month on the 12th to keep it clean. Despite these efforts, it has developed a pink film along with black mold that you can smell when it operates. I'm having trouble breathing. The area that is affected is IMPOSSIBLE to get to in order to clean it even with pressurized air. My unit has also flooded on two occassions destroying everything on my dresser.

I contacted Kaz who makes the unit. They said they would replace it but I'd be out of a unit for 6-8 weeks and I'd have to pay shipping costs. They will not replace it with another unit so I'm sure the same problem will reoccur. I decided to clean the unit the best that I can (this took 2 hours) and use liquid bacteriostatic water treatment instead of the worthless Protect cartridges. I hope this works.

Reviews of Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer

Customer Ratings:

Along with my Wonder Washer and Wonderwash Laundry Mini Countertop Clothes Spin Dryer Portable Clothes Dryer I have a complete portable laundry center. All three items are small and compact for easy storage.

This setup reduces the trips to the laundromat and has paid for itself in no time. Really great to have when boondocking (I have solar and a genset) and are miles from a laundry. I still wash my sheets,and blankets at the laundry. Almost everything else is doable with this setup even my jeans, one bath towel per ld, washcloths,etc,.

For water conservation when boondocking I just wash a light colored load first. After it finishes I place the wet clothes in the spin dryer with the drain hose positioned into Wonder Washer tub so that the wash water can drain back into the washer. I then wash the 2nd load and run them through the spin dryer. I then fill the Wonder Washer with fresh water and follow the same sequence to rinse both loads.

The mini spin dryer is very effective in removing excess water from the laundry and does not stretch items out of shape as hand wringing often does.

After wringing in the spin dryer I place the items on hangers and into the portable clothes dryer that I have set up under my Fantastic Fan vent in the living area so that the humid air can be directed outside. Most things dry in about 15-20 minutes. If the weather is nice I do not put the cover on or use the heat, I instead just airdry. I also have a Whitmor 6023-741 Folding Drying Rack, White that works well for air drying outdoors as well as indoors.

This heating unit can be used as a electric room heater by setting up the base but do not put the center pole with the drying arms or the cover on. It gently blows out hot air which warms the room. Talk about multi-functional.

The three legs slide easily into slots on the heating unit base. The center pole is in segments and easily goes together with the umbrella style upper pole to hang the clothes on. The dryer cover is heavy nylon with a heavy duty full length zipper. This makes for an easy setup as well as compact storage.

This setup would work well for dorm rooms, small apts, as well as RVS.

I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon this product since my apartment is only 400sqft and I could take it apart and store it under my bed. Along with a Haier portable washer, I have my very own laundry system and I no longer have to fight over the one washer and dryer with everyone else in the building. I got mine for cheaper on ebay, as a previous reviewer mentioned and since I got it, laundry has been so easy! A couple of quick things: a) people are saying that it doesn't dry well, and to that I say mind the instructions! It says that it can only handle about 20lbs of laundry. Think about it, if it works by blowing hot air into and around your clothes, how can it possibly work if you've decreased the amount of space in which that hot air has to work? My machine works perfectly; the few times things haven't been dry is when I've tried to stuff a few towels, jeans, shirts, socks (I get creative with hanging!), etc after a heavier than normal wash load. Just because the thing can *hold* a lot doesn't mean it'll dry more than it says it can. it's not meant to dry comforters. b) it is actually kind of loud, which is why I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars. My neighbors have never said anything, but it's loud enough to me to make me feel guilty about running it at odd hours when people may be sleeping. that being said, holy calzones it works when used right! I dried a couple of oxford shirts and jeans, pillow cases and some socks and stuff in 45 minutes. The shirts DID NOT NEED IRONING after (I shook them before putting them in, as another reviewer recommended). That needed to be capitalized because I hate ironing. Last thing: I kept a dozen or so of those wire hangers you get back from the dry cleaners since the machine gets hot (as it's supposed to) and I'm afraid it'll warp my sturdy plastic hangers, but I'm probably being paranoid.

I gave this product a three only because it takes a really long time to dry but baby once it gets hot...its all uphill from there...lol..it holds a nice amount of laundry and if you need some extra heat in the house trust me this will heat a large room nicely..it has a stand where you hang the clothes on and at the bottom is the heating unit..then once you have put all the clothes you want to dry on the stand you then put the insulating bag over the clothes and the stand for the desired amount of time, zip it up and that's it...for lighter clothes one cycle of 120 or a little less will probably be more than sufficient but for heavier clothes you may need to do 2 cycles of 120 minutes to get everything dry..its important to shake the clothes good before placing them on hangers and putting in dryer..it will save you on ironing trust me..the best thing you can do for yourself is to purchase a spin dryer along with this...its a necessity, not an option trust me it makes things a million times easier...you don't need a huge space for this but you do need a nice size space..all in all its a good product if you don't need something dried right away..the clothes do come out good but it does not take the wrinkles out of clothes..shaking the clothes out good first will help with that...

Honest reviews on Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer

I bought this dryer as I wanted to have something at my own apartment to dry my baby's clothes. This is a nice dryer and it takes longer than I expect, around 160min to dry everything but it does not damage or shrink the clothes. The room can get a bit warm when it is working. But overall I am happy with it.

I use this dryer with my wonder wash and spin dryer, i was really scared to buy this because i didnt think it would work good, but i had to try it.. OMG it is amazing, i cant believe how fast it works, how hot it gets, and how portable it is. im 5'2 and it is taller then me. It hold ALOT of clothes and works great.

Would recommend wringing out clothes or using a spin dryer. This dryer gets HOT so i use it in a bedroom and shut the door so the heat wont escape everywhere since it is about summer time. It would be GREAT in the winter to keep warm and dry clothes.

Discount Dimplex CKHA20D31 Fan-Forced 1800-Watt Kick Space Heater, Black

Customer Ratings:

I have had 2 units. The first one I had for about 5 years but never used it, was too expensive to run the electric heat. We had a tenant move into the house and they used it regularily for about 4 years. The fan in the unit broke and began to char the cabinet wood (this was placed under our kitchen sink) The safety mechanism did not work to shut off the heat. We thought that perhaps the unit being 5+ years old, it was just worn out. Amazon.com had the Dimplex model, I knew it would fit so we reordered the same model.

We replaced the unit and within 3 days the fan broke, again charring the cabinet wood. I have tried to contact customer service at Dimplex and the waits are over an hour on the phone. Email doesnt work either. I submitted an online request on Dec 22now is Jan 26th and I still have not heard back. Extremely annoying!! Not sure what is more annoying.. my tenant bugging me to have this fixed or Dimplex's wait time.

I purchased this heater on the recommendation of a neighbor. My bathroom remodel isn't finished yet so I can't comment on it's functionality, although they love theirs and I expect to feel the same. The only issue is that I thought I was ordering white, what with the word "White" in the description and all. What I received was black. Bummer.

My daughter needed a little more heat in her living room and had an unused fireplace so I investigated these. Right off the bat there are a lot of idiotic places that don't think listing the dimensions is important but how else can you fit one to an existing fireplace? Finally I found one that would fit! Almost all of these fireplace inserts have the exact same BTU's which is just barely enough to do anything in a chilly room. A screw came out of the inside of it shortly after I installed it. The flames are hard to see, also! Nothing like the ones in their pictures! So do not expect a good heater that glows like a real fireplace!

Hard to find a better direct-wire wall timer of this quality. HOWEVER, this is the third one I have purchased so be warned that they will eventual ware out. The timer will eventual stop counting down and get stuck, leaving your device always on. I have mine hooked to turn off a wall heater in the bathroom. It works well for that. NOTE: Even though it will eventual ware out, they usually last a few years before they do. So yes, they are worth the price. BE WARNED: If the start waring out replace immediately as they will get stuck in the ON position... Thus, 4 stars.

I read the reviews before buying this product and one review said it made loud nose as dial turns.. and s/he is completly right. The noise it makes is pretty loud.. I would NOT recommend this for the bedroom if you are going to use it as some type of sleep timer b/c the noise will bother you. However, I have this installed on my storage room in the kitchen, so the noise is not an issue.

I wanted a timer to shut off lights in a master closet. I first tried an electronic version but I had interference with some other home automation devices so I resorted to this older spring-wound technology. Simple, works perfectly. This spring wound timer worked as advertised and would be perfect for bathroom fans as well.

I use it discreetly at work where it is cold and regular heaters are banned. Now I can work in comfort while my neighbors in surrounding cubes bundle up. Best of all, it is quiet and no one know I have my heater on. The size was bigger than I had expected but it hides well behind my laptop screen when not in use. Highly recommended.

I agree with all of the reviews that I read when I bought this little guy. It's a great little heater that doesn't heat too much area; it's a personal heater. If my hands were cold I could put it on my desk or move it to my feet if they needed to be warmed up. It's about the size of a computer speaker so it's easy to move. Love it!

Honest reviews on Lasko 101 My Heat Personal Heater, White

I work in a large space that is too expensive to keep heated so this little heater is perfect. It does not really heat the room that I am in very much. Maybe that is because I keep the door open. But it does keep me comfortable. I have it under the desk pointed at me. The rest of the building is about 55-60 degrees.

It does not have a thermostat. But since I keep it near me I have not had a problem remembering to turn it off when not in use. My original plan was to plug it into an energy saving surge protector and have it turn off with the computer. That way it would be less possible for it to just be left on when not in use.

After 2 weeks: I now know that if I keep the door at least partially closed it does heat the room.

It doesn't have a tip-over switch. The heater itself does not get hot except for that black circle where the heat blows out and that doesn't get hot enough to actually burn you if you happen to brush against it.

Update: I have been using this little guy for at least 8 mos. now and I have forgotten to turn it off a few times. I expected to see an uptick in the electric bill but that didn't happen. 200 watts is like two bright incandescent light bulbs.
