So i received this unit the other day, and given the fact that i have other units similar to this, i'll try to compare this to my other units.

The unit seems well built and strong. Installation with a preexisting sleeve was a breeze. The box came with ALL the vents and insulation foam you need to install the unit. The instructions are easy to follow and simple. My only issue is really the heat test drive, it wasn't turning on right away but that could be related to the temperature of the room, it is still summer. I will update the review once i can use the heat in the colder months.

So far the unit is working great. I live in an apartment in Philadelphia which gets an awful amount of direct day light, so my condo gets warm quick. On top of that, my living room is open into the kitchen, so a small cooking mission with a boiling water will make the temperature to go through the roof.

The square-footage of the living room and kitchen combined is about 380sqft. I know you may think that 12000 BTU is too much (almost double) of what you need, but ALWAYS factor in your room traffic. with the kitchen at work and having 8 people over, the temperature increases by a lot and a 8000-10000BTU unit will leave you gasping for cold air. Hence the reason i went for a bigger unit and i am glad that i did.

This unit also removes a comfortable amount of humidity from the air which is also great to keep the temperatures low. I measured the kWh usage and with the unit on COOL, it goes through about 0.11 kWh which is very much the same amount my 9000BTU Friedrich unit uses and that unit really sucked at cooling the same room before (it is now demoted to the bedroom).

This unit also has more fan speed settings and the remote control doubles as the temperature sensor which you can place further away in the middle of the room for better temperature control.

This unit + a ceiling fan will certainly lower your bill and keeps the room cool (i get a lot of day light!). So far i'm happy with it. we will see how it can heat the room at the same time in the winter.

ALSO: this unit with COOL only option had great reviews and was the main reason i picked it, since my unit adds heat to the same cool-only unit. Double check the dimensions! the order it is posted in the description is not correct.

The price was also great, compared to the 9000 BTU Friedrich (this was cheaper with more BTU and options). Do the installation yourself and its a winner.

Buy Deflect-O Corp. 99 Air Deflector

Customer Ratings:

I needed to replace my old broken air vent deflector (someone stepped on it years ago) so came here to discover several options--they all looked confusingly similar so I ordered this one, plus the Deflect-o Model 50 Unbreakable Air Deflector. I couldn't tell what the difference was between the two Deflect-o models based on the information on the product pages here, other than $1.50 in price. Well, I will tell you the difference--they are basically identical except that this one is Made in China and its plastic is thinner and cheaper and it doesn't stay together nearly as well as the other one, Model 50, which is Made in the USA and of much higher quality (perhaps unsurprisingly).

I would recommend just spending the extra $1.50 and sticking with the Made in the USA Deflect-O Model 50 "Unbreakable."Model 50 Premium Unbreakable Air Deflector It is going to last much longer than this one, is much sturdier and I wish I had just gotten two of that one instead.

I have done the research and it seems like there is no real good air deflector out on the market. I am not to sure how this product is working for other people but here is what I am working with;

* Ceiling type vent

* Air damper control

* About 12" wide

Pro's:

* Variable width from 8" to 14"

* Magnets that should hold deflector onto a metal vent

Con's:

* Cheap plastic seems easy to crack

* When adjusted width to anything past 10", it becomes very loose and falls apart. ( I needed to super glue the two pieces together once I found my correct width )

* Magnets would not hold ( I had to drill holes so that I could use the vent cover screws to hold deflector in place )

Item were so cheap in cost that I could not find a good reason to spend anymore money to ship them back to the seller. At this point I will deal with it since I already did my own modification. Hope this gives everyone a better idea what they are getting themselves into when you buy these items.

The Deflector Air Deflector is a very useful to redirect air from floor registers. I use them throughout my home to ensure heat or cool air is diverted away from plants, to prevent air going directly up under beds, sofas, etc. Very helpful product!

Honest reviews on Deflect-O Corp. 99 Air Deflector

This reflector does the job. Period. Will it break? Sure, if you step on it! I have accidently bumped it off the floor register, but nothing has broken yet. I magnet slipped out once, but that's it. Great value for a good, reliable product.

While I'm sure there is a "rhyme & reason" to the placement of HVAC duct work and vents...some of them do not make sense. So, what happens when you "can't" place your bed anywhere but underneath the vent due to the placement of the electrical outlets & general configuration of the room? First of all, your head gets blown on by either the heat or AC (depending on the season) & its not very comfortable when you're trying to sleep. You could close the vents, but that's not really a solution... I purchased the Air Deflector and it was easy to place. The vent is wide open but my head is no longer being accosted by "the HVAC trade winds"! Room temp is "a thumbs up" and Air Deflector is "two thumbs up"!!

Cheap Honeywell Oscillating Ceramic Heater, Gray, HZ-370GP

I have about 10 portable heaters between my house and my office. I have several Honeywell models which are ceramic. I also have the Honeywell model 709 oil-filled heater.

This model, the 370 ceramic heater, is the best so far. The thermostat works the way it should. The older models that Honeywell makes like the 339, and 341 work well, but the thermostat doesn't work the way it should.

This new model, the 370, works absolutely awesome.

Don't buy the oil filled model. I did some detailed testing with thermometers and timers. The ceramic model heats the room twice as well as the oil filled.

I use all my heaters every day for about 6 months per year. Take my word for it, this model is great.

The plastic will smell for a few weeks though. That seems unavoidable with any model unfortunately. Just run it in the basement or garage for 15 minutes per day for a few weeks and the smell is gone.

Buy this model and you won't be disappointed.

We bought several heaters and tested them out over the last 3 years. We have 2 little girls and use them to keep their rooms at 69 degrees at night (Wisconsin has some long winters). The others we tried were complicated to set or program, but this one is easy as pie. push the center dial, turn to the desired temp and if you want eco mode. That's it!!!!! It heats their 13'X12' bedrooms with ease, I would even say it would heat rooms up to twice that size. The first one we bought over 3 years ago and it is still going strong.

In Closing, if you are looking for a heater, look no further, spend a little extra $$ and get this model it is worth it

I bought this heater for my mother. It had to be easy to operate and automatically shutoff in case of falling over. This heater does everything I had hoped for and it heats the room quickly and quietly. I'm very pleased.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Oscillating Ceramic Heater, Gray, HZ-370GP

Hi, My name Is Mr. H. Patel and this is my first review on amazon. I never get a chance to write review. But i like this heater so much. I bought this heater from Walmart in clearance for $20 in March-2008. Since 2008 i am using it in 18 X 15 feet room and it's work's great. I am living in northern New jersey where winter is so brutal. sometime temp. drops down in -10 degree Fahrenheit. But this heater never gave up. It has nice thermostat control which turn on of in +/2 degree range of set temperature. Looks tiny but very powerful. also it has tip over safety feature works great. I have carpet in my all room. and i am putting this heater on small stool in corner it works for me.

After 3 winter i used i just cleaned it by opening it's panel from backside. Obviously it has lint kind of stuff clogged on top of ceramic element. I cleaned it now it's ready for 2011 winter.I recommend clean it every 2 years so it will not use extra electricity to heat it up room and work efficiently.

The Honeywell HZ-370 GP Electronic Ceramic Heater is "just the right size" if you are looking for a compact heater with a stylish design. It can be used for both floor and table top. I especially like the modern, streamlined body of this heater. There is a digital window which shows the room temperature, an energy saver button, a timer which can be set for 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. Also, the temperature can be set from 45 degrees to 80 degrees, and the heater will turn off when that temperature is reached; it will be displayed, and then blink. It will then turn back on when the temperature drops below the desired setting. There are two heat settings 1500 watts on high, and 900 watts in the energy saver mode.

By pressing the button on the top, the heater will oscilliate. There is a recessed handle on the top for convenience. It is equipped with several saftety devices and has a tip-over switch that disables the heater if tipped over. An Alert Heat Indicator Badge on the grille turns from black to red when hot. A high temperature safety control prevents overheating, and a back-up thermal circuit breaker will shut down the heater if operated a higher than normal temperatures. Also, the heater runs fairly quite for the amount of heat it puts out.

I was impressed with the many features of this heater and how efficiently it performs. It puts out ample heat for the size. If it came with a remote, it would have received 5 stars. This is the only feature it lacks, and I would have preferred to be included. Great little heater!

Buy Dimplex SMP-904-ST Fieldstone Pine and Stone-look Electric

Customer Ratings:

I have a 3 story Beach House on the WA coast. It gets a little chilly on the first floor entry hall even in summer evenings. I bought this unit to take the cool edge off. It is fairly easy to assemble, though package is a bit heavy (recommend opening box and carrying pieces inside one-by-one). Be sure your wall socket is offset from the insert or you will have to move it upward like I did or use an aftermarket recessed outlet)because the insert fits tight againt the wall. The unit looks bigger in the brochure, but was perfect size for me because I want a TV wall-mounted above. There are lots of adjustment options for temp and light/firelog brightness! Very beautiful effect and emanates quality. Has dark glass front nice effect! Love it

On the negative side; when putting together none of the holes line up and the mortar used to form the rock is very delicate tends to crack and flake. When Assembling the mantel one of the bolts kept falling out had to end up glueing it in. Also fire box does not screw into the structure anywhere when bumped it does slip out and has to be pushed back in. The overall looks is okay and it does work for heat. Do not feel that it is worth the price paid....

Very lightweight, cheap product that came apart in few weeks. Hardly any power thru the fan. Don't go for its bargain price if you want sturdy product. You do get what you paid for.

The fan looks good but it's a little noisy when operating. The low speed is higher than I would like.

Buy Pelonis Digital Fan Forced Heater

Customer Ratings:

I was heating my bedroom up before I went to bed. I always make sure there is nothing ever around or the heater when it is on. When I went in, the room was cloudy with smoke. I immediately unplugged it and felt the area around the outlet and the cord. They were both cool. I didn't understand how my room almost went into flames until my hands felt the bottom of the heater. I unscrewed the bottom to see that were melting and burnt. I bought this heater fall of 07. It's Oct. 28 and I am returning it. Please do not buy this heater! It is not safe. I'm sure this has happened before and people probably do not take the time to report. I am! Good luck to whom ever purchases this.

It's phenomenal.
