Review of Sid Harvey's #264-36 Micro-Flow* Oil Filter Element For Fuel Oil

Customer Ratings:

Because fuel oils have become MORE dirty recently I use two filters in series. First one is the old felt filter element for the General 1A-25A and the 2nd one is this Micro-flow filter, also in a General 1A-25A housing.

The felt acts as a "roughing" filter and takes out the big junk. What "small" stuff gets thru is caught by the Micro-Flow. Seems like over-kill, but this prevents waking up at 5AM to a cold house because the burner nozzle has clogged and no oil can be burned to heat the house. Have done this for a few years now without any clogging shut downs. Oil here is so dirty that I now change filters twice a year as insurance. I am a retired Mechanical Engineer. At 79 years old I prefer to sleep thru the night in a comfortable home. I replace the burner fuel nozzle once a year to avoid the 5AM wake up. It's also nice to be able to leave the house for a few days in Winter & not be concerned about the possibility of frozen pipes everywhere!!

I was pleased to see that this filter is the same filter that came with the complete unit. we used the previous one for two years without a problem and made sure we got the same one this time. I came promptly, well packaged, well priced, and after we installed the new one, we were glad we had ordered two. This is a winner.

Great concept, however the biggest flaw is the thermostat. The unit itself comes packaged well and is very easy to install. They even include a drill bit for the correct size holes needed for the wall anchors. I have this installed exactly as instructed in our baby's room. We wanted to keep the temperature in the room at exactly 74 degrees. The heater's thermostat is not accurate to even 2 degrees. Best bet is to get the non-digital thermostat version and buy the Lux wall plug thermostat.

Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device.

Single-use anchor/standoffs could be a problem for some users / applications

Should you be mounting to a wood wall (maybe you shouldn't, due to heat or potential malfunction and fire?) or some other material that does not support an expanding plastic anchor fastening method, you may be out of luck. Also, measure three times before drilling for the anchors (masonry bit supplied) or installing them, since the unit ships with only the 4 you will need, and you won't find anything that will work as a substitute at the hardware store. Don't lose, use in the wrong location, or break these anchor/standoffs!

Thermostat defaults to 72 whenever power is cycled off and back on.

The integrated logic-controlled thermostat seems to work well, although it does not remember the user setting after cycling the power off; it defaults to 72 degrees Fahrenheit as the set temperature when turned back on. Setting memory would be nice in case you want to operate it through a wall-receptacle timer device. 72 is not too bad a default setting, but users may wish they had more options to set their own target for when the timer turns the unit on again after down time.

Not for use in bathrooms?

The instructions state that the unit is "not intended for use in bathrooms or other areas where users could be in contact with water while operating the unit". I presume the manufacturers don't trust your existing receptacle to be GFCI-protected (many older bathroom, laundry, kitchen and basement receptacles are standard type where they should be GFCI-protected due to the likelihood people may be solidly grounded to water pipes or wet masonry floors while contacting the receptacle device, it's cover, or a cord-connected appliance that has a dangerous ground-fault. I consider that when connected to a GFCI in a plumbed location like a bathroom, the T400 U unit should be safe to operate.

Reviews of Mini USB Fridge (RED)

Customer Ratings:

The mini fridge is very cute, my coworkers all have a good laugh over it. It helps keep an already chilled beverage cool longer than if it was just sitting on my desk, but if you insert a warm soda and put it in the mini fridge overnight, in the morning you'll have... a slightly less warm soda. So, it's good if I want to bring a couple sodas from the kitchen to my desk, drink one and keep one in the mini fridge for a little later, but no good at chilling off a warm soda.

Got one of these for a christmas present for someone. It hought it would be a cool Idea, and on paper it looks cool. In practice though, it just doesn't work.

The problem is, this version of the device doesn't actually cool, it's a passive cooling system rather than an active one, it has a fan to remove heat from a heat sync, but that's it.

There is a different version that has a peltier type cooler in it as well, the active one should work better, and I think it cost a similar price to what this one once did (paid $24 for mine originally)

It does look neat though, maybe if someone was a coke nut, and their drink is already cool, it may help keep it cooler longer, but don't expect to get a room temperature soda down to a nice cool level.

May be a neat hack project or something (if you put the cooler on top instead of on bottom, it might work better) but I wouldn't recommend buying this version.

Review of Optimus H-7318 Portable 17-Inch Oscillating Tower Heater

Winter only happens once a year and is separated by many months that dull the memories of the bad heaters you bought in winters past. For the winter season of 2010/2011, I purchased two different Optimus heaters for my house, the H-7328 and the H-7318.

I bought both units at the same time in October, so they sat in their unopened boxes well past the time you could return them. When winter came I set my brand new heaters up. The 7318 rattled so bad I could barely hear myself think. And within days the 7328 stopped oscillating and started to smell like burnt wiring. By February neither unit functioned, both thermostats apparently didn't work anymore so the unit that would actually provide heat would stay on forever, even if the unit fell face down on the carpet. YIKES, talk about dangerous.

So in March when I went to throw these units in the garage, on top of the pile of totally useless things I have bought in years past, I noticed something odd. I reached down and dug out three old heaters from the year before. Apparently I bought an Optimus H-5280, an H-3013 and an H-5230.

So in two years I have purchased no less than five Optimus heaters of which only one still works as advertised, which only goes to prove one thing, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT, for ever buying an Optimus product. If they don't fail to work at all, then they stand a good chance of burning you alive while you sleep.

There seems to be poor thought in engineering all electric heaters. This one is in line with all the others, it has its good and bad points. Best not to be real interested in functions other than heat, at which this one is ok.

Pros: good heat output, oscillates, digital display, nice looking, 3 yr. warrenty, oscillation stops and starts

with the operation of the thermostat

Cons: hi and low heat are just that, heat, they aren't connected to the thermostat, turn it on and will run

forever I guess.

to use the thermostat you must get to auto and to do that you must touch either the up or down buttons and

presto you get auto. just set the desired temp and is shuts on and off like you would think a heater should.

don't expect even temp, it gets 2 degrees over set temp to shut off and 1 degree under set temp to turn back

on, that 3 degree swing is pretty noticable but most heaters are this way. I almost forgot, the auto only

functions with high heat, no choice there so if you want low heat you have no thermostat control

don't pick it up and move it or it resets itself to high heat, and the thermostat goes to 75, you will have

to go through the whole procedure to set another temp and get back to auto, this is a function of the tip

over switch I guess.

you have to lean way over to read the display, bad angle, to small, or just bad lighting, led's would be

better choice

who, now really, needs to have a remote control for a space heater

Seems to be a lot of cons but all heaters are pretty much the same in function. Doing it over I would get the

cheapest heater with a rotary switch and a rotary thermostat. Forget the digital display and remote control. Also

forget those $400.oo infrared heaters with nice wood cabinets. Physics is physics and E=ir still applies no matter

the price. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what generates the heat. put a fan behind 15 100watt light bulbs

and you get the same amount of heat. This heater does what it was designed to do pretty well, but I think I could probably make one the way I would like it to function, just would cost to much to do.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-7318 Portable 17-Inch Oscillating Tower Heater

I love this heater! I've gone through several electric heaters that do not warm up a room fast enough. I have had this heater for over 2 years now and it finally broke. The caution light turns on and then it doesn't do anything. We think it may be the thermal fuse so we might head to Radio Shack and fix it ourselves. Anyway, this heater has traveled with me from 3 different houses and it lasted throughout. I also love the remote that comes with it. The oscillating feature was great and I loved how it turned on and heated up quickly. The digital temperature was easy to read and it turned off when the room would be at that temperature. Small heater with a lot of power! Definitely recommend this product. Just hope it doesn't break!

I have Cadet wall heaters in my apartment. One of these 2000 watt units in the living room, two 1000 watt units in the 2 bedrooms.

As far as I can tell, the thermostats are useless. Just as an example:

I have one of the 1000 watt units turned on in my bedroom right now. The room is 68-69 degrees. If you turn the thermostat all the way down to shut the heater off, and then turn it up until the heater turns on, it turns on at about 62 degrees. If you then turn it down until the heater goes off, it turns off at about 54 degrees.

That's an 8 degree swing. And the setpoints are WAY off from the actual temperature in the room.

I don't understand why I don't see a lot of complaints on the internet about this kind of heater. I don't think it's just Cadet, I think it's the particular type of thermostat, no matter who the manufacturer. I believe these are what are called "bimetallic" thermostats. As far as I can tell they are utterly useless. All they are good for is as an on off switch.

At least that is my opinion based on my own experience. If I'm missing something, someone please point it out to me.

Has anyone ever been actually able to control the temperature within a reasonable range with these? If so please speak up and explain how you were able to do so.

Best Deals on Deni 5111 Electric Ice-Cream Scoop with Nonstick Surface

Are you like me? Do you know darn well that you'll be serving ice cream after dinner but never seem to remove the ice cream from your freezer to that it can thaw to a reasonable scoopability? And do you then break out a hammer and chisel and begin to hack away at rock hard ice cream to the amusement of your friends as bits of mint chocolate chip fly about the kitchen as you feebiliy attempt to extricate enough ice cream for a single serving? Actually, I've never done that. What I do is just serve the cookies and bag the whole "let's have ice cream" altogether, but that's not important right now.

Apparently, over frozen ice cream is a real problem these days. There are throngs of people who forget to thaw the ice cream, and in a pinch, they need to scoop that stuff fast, else the party shall be in ruin. Or something like that.

So, enter this fun and exciting product that consists of a mildly heated scooper that promises to dig through the rock solid ice cream like a warm knife through butter. If only, my friend, if only.

First, it's big. Yes, my friend, you can wield this item like a barbarian with a heavy club as you attack your half gallon ice cream container. I mean, this thing is big. If you're under five foot four, you're better off hacking at the ice cream with a two handed broad sword. Ok, it's not THAT big, but believe me now when I tell you that small hands will find this scoop unwieldy.

Second, the heating element in this takes about as long to reach optimum temperature as it would take you to actually hand churn the ice cream. Understand that the goal of the product is not to actually get hot. That would melt the ice cream into a soupy mess. The goal isn't even to get warm, that would be somewhat useful. No, the goal is to get amusingly tepid to the point that if you let it heat up inside your hand, you won't be exactly sure if the item heated up on its own or whether your hands did all the warming.

Third, in the time that it takes for the item to heat up to optimum temperature your ice cream, which you should have taken from the freezer by now, is already in the process of thawing. So, lucky you, eventually you have a mildly slightly tepid scooper working at ice cream that is now reasonably thawed. Who is to say it actually did anything.

So, I tried it on ice cream straight from the freezer and guess what....it still took a Herculean effort to actually scoop ice cream. Hammer and Chisel plus one, tepid ice cream scoop, zero.

The scoops that are on the market that actually transfer your hand heat into the scoop are as effective, if not more so, because they can actually be held in your hand. This thing is just too big.

And once the ice cream is actually no longer hard frozen, the next problem you have is that the mildly tepid device then overperforms so that you end up with scoops that have soupy outsides. By this point, just use a regular scoop.

So, upwards of $50 for something that is too large, ineffective, and ultimately not so very useful is too much to spend on something that then takes up too much space in a drawer or cabinet.

Frankly, you're better off using a kitchen timer to ding when it's time for you to take the ice cream out of the freezer so it can thaw. Better yet, save the money on the timer and tie a strink to your finger as a reminder.

Skip this product. Not worth it.

User Update: I realize that there are those who say that their aged mother or father really likes this item because they have arthritis or are too weak to scoop the ice cream. It still takes forever and a day to heat up and ultimately, waiting for the thaw achieves the same thing and is one less large item to clutter up mom or dad's drawer. But, to each his own.

As stated above I purchased this product in hopes that I could with more ease scoop out ice cream.............. I'm handicapped with only a left arm / hand. When I received the " Deni 5111 Electric Ice-Cream Scoop with Nonstick Surface " I plugged it in and notice it took considerable amount of time to heat up. When attempting to scoop out the ice cream it became immediately apparent that the electric scoop was simply too under-powered to scoop out the ice cream plus with every attempt it cooled too quickly which leads you to allow it to warm up again with every scoop.

I've also noticed trying to continue to use it even though it does not retain it's preset temperature is futile as it's bulky size does not make it a good scoop in the first place.

All in all I am extremely disappointed that this product was not further tested before releasing it on the public who then is forced to "beta test" this for them (manufacture).

I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.

This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

I just got one of these at a local herb store (mine is the Chinese model ss-3040 but is exactly the same thing as the NY636). After using it once I can tell several things right away:

1) overall it's well made and looks nice (nice thick glaze over the ceramic with some cute calligraphy on the front).

2) there is very little circuitry inside so there is less to fail but at the same time the unit is "dumb". It will just keep boiling until the water level drops enough to expose the top of the stainless steel heater element (which rises about maybe 1-2 inches from the bottom) then will switch to keep warm. After boiling it seems you are left with around 2 cups of liquid.

3) much easier to deal with (IMHO) than boiling herbs in a ceramic double-lid "ginseng cooker". Just plug in and let it go (after adding your pre-washed herbs and water, of course).

4) it is not suited for aromatic herbs or herbs with high volatile oil content as steam escapes through both the pouring spout (which I covered with a small piece of tin foil until I find something better to use) and a small hole (perhaps around .5 cm) on the lid. Actually covering the spout may just make it take longer to cook as the liquid would evaporate slower...

5) as previous poster mentioned, you need a kitchen/electric timer! You can't manually switch to keep warm (with a button or switch, etc) you need to remove/stop the power. The little front lights are indicators only, not switches or button. Some herbs/formulas you just can't let cook like the cooker is meant to, however most you probably can if you balance the water and herbs correctly, and know what your doing. Ask your TCM doctor, which I am not (yet). Also consult a good Materia Medica for herbs in question. With a timer this could also be used for other (related) purposed liked Chinese Medicated Diet therapies, etc, but a hot pot may work better in many cases that require very slow cooking.

Other notes: as it says in the manual, once the heat has switched to keep warm don't let your tea sit for more than 2 hours as the herbs may soak up some of the active ingredients you just decocted as they dry.

One last thing, it does come with a 1-year warranty (or so the company claims), so keep your receipt and box. While it is made in China, it's distributor is in CA (so no you won't have to ship to China for warranty issues).

All that aside, get one... they look cool :D

I am told to put in 4 cups of water with my herbs and then when it is done and both lights are on, it should have cooked it down to be 1 cup. However, it has never has given me 1 cup. It used to give me 3/4 cup but now it just gives me a 1/2 cup so it is cooking it longer each time. (I have now read the other reviews and see I have to unplug it versus trust it to do what it is supposed to do.) The other issue is that now it needs 24 hours to "cool" before I can reuse it as when I plug it back in, both lights stay on and it won't go into cook mode. It therefore doesn't work properly. I have probably only used it 8 times so I am really disappointed with the quality.

Having grown up in Singapore many years ago, I was quite familiar with items like this and National brand rice cookers. My mother had one of these 20 years ago until it gave out a few years back. I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He couldn't wait to open it and so we've been using it for the past couple of weeks. I wish I'd bought it sooner. My husband was given a Cuisinart stainless steel Grind & Brew several years ago. Fabulous machine. However, a couple of years ago my husband found that despite his being the only coffee drinker (at the time) in the house, that it was 100% MY responsibility to keep the machine clean and ready for morning brewing. I got tired of this and last year he "discovered" the pleasure of Nescafe Classico instant coffee.

Lazy to boil water in the pot, he'd microwave his cups of water, never bothering to boil me a cup. I've been searching for months for a nice airpot and found this. Unfortunately, I didn't go online in my search and bought one at my favorite Chinese supermarket in Dallas. I paid over $75 when I could have found one online for close to $30 less. However, I have to say that I'm 100% satisfied with this product. It's incredibly convenient. Great for coffee, tea, hot chocolate & malt drinks, not to mention ramen noodles & other instant food items or frozen veggies that require de-frosting. Why didn't I get this sooner????? So easy to use. The only wish I had is that it came in a larger capacity. I love it so much that I use it all the time and have to keep filling it up!

Well worth the money paid. Extremely convenient. Easy to use. Looks great.

We love to seat by the fire but after we got an estimate for installing a gas fireplace, we had to look for other options. This gel fuel fireplace turned out to be a great alternative. We have had it for over a week now and here are the things I love about it:

It was very easy to install. It came with a metal bracket that you screw to the wall and then simply hang the fireplace on the bracket.

It is slim enough to be hanged by my dining room table so we can enjoy beautiful flames while dining

It does provide quite a bit of heat. We did not turn the thermostat down the first time we tried this fireplace and the room became noticeably warmer within an hour. We are hoping we can use it as a source heat next time we loose power in the middle of the cold season.

We used gel fuel by real flame and it produced nice orange fire with some light cracking sound. There was no smell while the fire was burning but we felt light alcohol smell when we left some unburned fuel in the fireplace. Next time we will not pour the entire bottle into the fireplace!

The flame is protected by the glass

On the days when I don't want the extra heat, i just put large tea lights on the fireplace shelf. The fireplace has stainless steel backing which gives beautiful reflection when burning candles and the flames are well protected behind the glass screen. I love this double duty!

Did I mention that the fireplace is beautiful and modern looking? :-)

The only con I can think of is the cost of the gel fuel. I wish there would be a cheaper alternative.
