Cheap Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control

Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is absolutely the best heater available. It is essentially the same as the Bionaire BH3900 (see reviews there), but this one has a wireless remote control that allows you to set it at a certain temperature, and it will maintain that temperature consistently. Just like the reviews said about the BH3900, this unit is almost silent, except for a soft "click" when it toggles on/off, as well as a slight crackling sound, which is produced as the elements expand and contract. It is very safe, as the heat comes up from the top, not the side, so the side will at most feel warm, not dangerously hot. The remote makes this heater from good to GREAT, because you can set the heater to the exact temperature that you want. No more guessing and playing with unlabeled dials. Also, you can set the remote to the other side of the room and it will only turn off after the entire room is warmed to that temperature. Then, when the temperature drops by one degree, it will kick on again to heat things up. We have a two year old in the house, so we keep this unit in his room. We can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that regardless of how cold it is outside, we know EXACTLY what the temperature will be in his room.

There is one potential problem with this unit. If you press the "mode" button too fast on the remote, it will become out of sync with the heater. For example, if you want to set it to auto-low, you would have to press the mode button three times (low->high->autolow->autohigh). If you press the button too fast, then instead of autolow, the heater will think you want it to be on high instead. The remote will still show "auto low", but the heater will be set on high. This is bad, because if you leave this thing on high all night long, the room can get close to 100 degrees! There is a very simple solution to this, however. After you press the mode button on the remote, simply check the lights on the control panel of the heater to see if it is on the right mode. I always give it a quick glance after I set it on the remote, so it is always right and it always works perfectly.

One very strange thing about this unit is that it is generally not available anywhere. The BH3900 is available at a few places, but the more advanced BH3930 is not. It is not even available from the manufacturer at the time of this writing. So if you find one, new or used, buy it!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, provided the remote does not break. Without the remote you can set the heater to LOW or HIGH and in either case the room becomes a sauna! I have three of these heaters in my house, one for each bedroom, and with the remote they are really AMAZING (read the other reviews, they are 100% accurate). But I have broken one remote (the mode button is stuck) and misplaced another remote, and BIONAIRE does not have any additional remotes for sale. In fact they suggested that I return the heaters (even though I bought them 3 years ago at Sharper Image) and they would replace them with new BIONAIRE BH 3900, which are the same heathers but with no remote. So I think that Bionaire kileld this product because without the Galileo remote the heater is useless. That said I would pay just about any price to have two remotes, or for Bionaire to introduce a new units with BOTH a remote and an on board thermostat.

We are using this heater for three years and it still works great. There is really only one way to make a heater to keep an accurate room temperature to have a remote thermostat. It's so surprising that other manufacturers don't get it, so far I've only seen Bonaire heaters with remote wireless thermostat. We use it in our daughter's bedroom and for three years the heater kept the room temperature between 68 and 69 degrees at night. We also have a LaCrosse wireless temperature sensor installed in the same room and the temperature never fluctuated more then 2 degrees from the Bonaire setting. I think it's the best portable heater on the market.

I bought this 3 years ago and it has worked really wel... that is until I went to fire it up this fall (what would be it's 3rd year of operation).

The fuel pump had issues after a bunch of work it's ok again... but the unit itself is showing signs of use (as in the front metal diffuser plate is just about melted through) this will certainly be the last winter for this unit.

Pros: has been reliable, lights quickly, minimal smoke and soot

COns: single speed, loud, not tri-fuel, difficult to refuel

In the end I'd recommend and re buy this unit it's cheaper than others and has served me very well to heat a shop/barn for 2 long Upstate NY winters.

There are plenty of heaters like this out in the marketplace, but few are as compact as this, which is advantageous when using it in a small garage. It's a snap to use and moves about easily when placed on a small mover's dolly so it can be positioned where one needs it. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it and highly recommend it.

This was my second purchase of the same unit in 5 years. The first had finally worn out with a bad fan bearing and a cracked heater plate following 5 winters of nearly constant use. Pound for pound, this is the best portable kerosene heater on the market. It kicks out 70,000 BTU's in a small very quiet package. We run this inside an enclosed outdoor patio of 800 square feet. We're able to enjoy a warm climate controlled space through the winter months without shouting over the noise of a loud heater. There is virtually no kerosene smell and best of all, this sells for a very reasonable price. This unit is highly recommended.

The shovel is smaller than pictured and it does not go together the way they show. However, I really brought this for the brush which was well worth the price. I can sweep hot coals back into the fireplace and it does not melt. The hanging hook is really great as well. Get if you need a brush but not if you want a combo set.

The short handles are convenient for cleaning up when you're sitting by the hearth, and the hooks are handy. These were a great deal at $15, and they look OK and seem sturdy enough. But the workmanship is not great: many of the cuts, rivets, welds, etc. are rough or crooked.

Lovely design. Great heat! Easy to move from place to place. The "new" smell disappears quickly in a few hours via following the directions. (I also used a tiny bit of lavender oil on the top fins during those hours to mask the initial unpleasant smell. And I placed it near a window that was ajar.) We haven't used the programming so I can't comment on that (see below for update!). (There was one similar model that lacked the programming feature, but it was not sold by Amazon and required a substantial shipping fee. My advice: Always check the origin and any shipping cost! When given a choice, I prefer Amazon. Second choice is to go through Amazon, if it's not something Amazon carries.)

Back to the heater:

This heats quickly. And it's cute! Easy to store, as this model is particularly slim. I strongly recommend reading the directions so you avoid overtaxing your electric outlets or circuits. Beyond that, this thing will be your "friend" on cold mornings as it heats up so quickly. It's like a little fireplace except it's safe.

My vote of confidence in the heater and in Amazon service (it arrived 2 days after shipping!) is so strong we are ordering a second one. This will enable us to keep the house temperature lower and just warm the rooms we're actually occupying at any one time.

My initial order included another DiLonghi heater (HHP1500, Mica Panel Radiator), which is very attractive looks almost like a small TV except with wire mesh instead of a screen. The oil-filled radiator keeps its heat longer and puts out more heat. But the Mica Panel radiator is preferable if space is limited and you're looking for something to keep your feet warm while reading or watching TV; it puts out consistent, gentle heat mostly from the front, a bit from the top whereas the oil-filled radiator puts out a lot of heat from the top. (Also, the mica panel one is so light, you can easily carry it from one room to another.) We're happy with both, but the oil-filled radiator is the one we decided to duplicate as, for us, it's more versatile, and can really "add" heat where you need it thus allowing us to have the thermostat lower. (Both heaters do not use blowers, which, if you have allergies, is a big plus! That's another reason to supplement forced air central heating with these space heaters.)

We chose a slim model. So I expect the larger, heavier models would be great heat "work horses" if you're looking for something with an even greater heat output.

Update (10/12/09):

Programming function of this heater:

By accident I have now learned about the programming. It's an ingenious design, in my view. It's not via a computer, but there's dial where you set the current time (be sure to move that dial only clockwise!) and then there is a circle of tiny little red levers (like tiny hairs, except they move). And these little levers are really on/off controls. If the lever is moved to the center of the circle, then it's "on" so if you don't need to "program" it, you simply move all the little levers toward the center and you have nice little circle of red. However, for any spans of time where you want the heater to turn itself off, you move the lever to the outer part of the circle.

Does your heater APPEAR to be "broken" because it won't turn on? Check that little red circle of levers.... in case for some reason they've been moved and the unit has turned itself off. You can easily put them back the way you want them.

Again, it's a brilliant little programming design! Very easy to understand. And it really is not subject to the kind of problems of things that you program digitally. As I said above, it's like a circle of "on/off" switches that you can control individually.

We're glad we've got the second one on the way!

This is a great heater. I like that it creates its own airflow without a fan the hot air just comes off the top as if there were a fan! I also love the timer function you can set the heater to be on or off in 15 minute segments all day long. I use this feature to have it warm up my bedroom so it's warm when I arrive home from work, just before bedtime, and also to warm up the room before I wake up, without having the heater run all night (it's a powerful little thing!). The air doesn't get dried out, but it circulates and becomes toasty warm. There is also three output settings (1,2, and 3), so you can really crank it up if you need some heat quickly, but keep it low for everyday use. I'm extremely pleased with this heater.

Best Deals on DeLonghi TRV0715T Vento Hi-Speed Convection Oil-Filled Radiator

If you've got high ceilings or an area larger than 14x14 and expect this unit to heat, you're going to be disappointed. Also, as the previous review states, the heat rises from the top of the unit, which is about 2 1/2 feet off the ground. If you're prone to "cold feet" this unit is NOT for you.

There is no fan on this unit, so it's perfect for an office, baby's room or bedroom that always seems to be a bit chilly. If you have a large bathroom, this would be great to pre-set the attached 24 hour timer to come on an hour or so before you get up.

So if you want to heat a 12x12 or 12x14 room or smaller this unit will be fine. Just dont expect your legs and feet to be warm.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRV0715T Vento Hi-Speed Convection Oil-Filled Radiator

Before we bought this heater, we have been using a DeLonghi TRD0715T for more than two years. The TRD0715T has been working well but it has some problems too. For example, it sometimes gives noise if its position is not "right". It also smells if it is on the highest setting. Recently it started to have ticking noise from the timer. But overall, we have been very happy with its performance. So we bought the TRV0715T for our daughter's room. The TRV0715T is smaller in size, and much quieter. It doesn't have noticeable smell even on the highest setting. However, we feel it is not generating enough heat like TRD0715T, although they all are 1500 watts. We use the middle setting all the time because the current will be too high for our apartment if we use the highest setting. If you have a big room to heat up, I wouldn't recommend it to you.

Best space heater! Especially when you have babies and young children. I keep one in my master suit which is about 20x16. Whole upstairs is about 61 degrees when the suit is set at 70 during winter time. I feel better that I am not heating up the whole upstairs when I only need the heat in my suit. I also keep 2 of these in my finished basement which is about 40X15. Without the heater, basement is at around 58, with it 73 when set at medium setting. My baby can touch it and get startled, but never caused any scream or crying. I feel very safe and good about this heater. VERY EASY TO FIGURE OUT THE CONTROL!....well if you are used to setting outlet timers.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program GreatCo's 50" LED fireplace is a wonderful addition to my home. It gives off a great amount of heat, that can be controlled and put at various settings, and has warmed up a perpetually cold room. But more than that, this fireplace is just incredibly beautiful and really adds something special to the room. The rear back lighting creates a spectacular display and the 'fire' itself looks great, absolutely stunning. One minor drawback is that the instruction booklet wasn't as helpful as it could have been when mounting it, but other than that I am really impressed. If you are thinking of adding an electric fireplace to your home you should really consider GreatCo's fireplace. You will not be disappointed.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When I hit the power button on the remote for the first time and this unit fired up, it lit up my bedroom and completely transformed the feel of the room. I felt I was in an expensive hotel room. I couldn't help but have a huge smile. I love it. The flames look real. The stones look like they are glowing orange hot. It's really surprising how real it looks. The unit is only about 5 inches deep, so it doesn't stick out far from the wall at all.

The box is quite large but I was able to move it by myself (about the size a 50 inch TV would come in). The unit is very well packed and protected. The unit is in two main pieces that are a lot easier to move and carry than the box. I carried each of the two pieces upstairs and leaned them against my bed. The instructions were straight forward except for the fact that they said to take the mounting bracket out of the box. My mounting bracket was screwed to the main firebox and had to be removed so I could mount it to the wall. This was a good way to package it, it just was different than what the instructions said. The mounting bracket was over 32 inches wide and has screw hole every couple inches. This allows you to position it to hit two wall studs. That is what I did. You can also use the included drywall wall anchors. I like to hit a stud whenever I can.

I made sure the mounting bracket was level and attached it to the wall with 4 screws (included). Once that is on the wall installation is super easy. The firebox fits onto slots/hooks on the mounting bracket. Just lift it on and it stays there. Then replace the two screws that held the firebox to the bracket on the bottom. This assures that it will not come off the wall. You also need to remove a small access panel on the bottom of the firebox and pull out the larger of the two wires. The smaller one is for an in the wall installation kit. The wire will extend through the hole in the access panel, so the panel can be put back on. Now you put the included two sets of stones along the bottom of the firebox on the little slanted shelf. There is a set of clear plastic like stones and a set of white real stones. On the first layer I put one white stone then one clear stone. This used up all the clear ones. Then I added a second row on top of the first of the white ones. The clear stones will pick up the orange light and glow orange hot like coals. Pretty cool.

Next the front glass panel fits on the firebox it fits into another set of slots. Push the bottom of the glass in and it will snap two pegs into spring loaded brackets. Almost done. Now stick your head under the unit and connect the wire coming out of the access panel to the one on the back of the glass panel. Finally plug her in and stand back. Hit the power button on the remote and watch your room be transformed.

The remote is awesome. On it you can:

Select 1 of 4 flame modes. Mostly the brightness changes. And yes the flames look real. I was really surprised.

Select 1 of 12 back light colors including one that cycles through all of them as well as off.

Select a timer to turn the unit off after x hours (variable number). A sleep function like on your TV.

Turn the heater on Level 1 (750 watts) Level 2 (1500 watts) and off. You do not need to run the heater.

Set the thermostat for the heater.

The remote has an LCD display.

Notes:

Installation was easy for me. I used a drill, screwdriver, level, and stud finder (battery one and long finishing nail to confirm).

The instructions refer to the mounting bracket as if it is loose in the box. Mine was screwed to the fire box and had to be removed so it could be mounted on the wall.

There looks to be an add on kit for mounting this fireplace in the wall.

The instructions say the unit needs 13 inches of space on the bottom and none on the sides and top. Bottom is due to the heater.

The heater on the high setting will use all the power on a standard household circuit, so be aware of that so you're not blowing the circuit breaker all the time.

The firebox has power and mode buttons on the side.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was really intrigued by this, because I've never seen a wall-mount LED fireplace before. "Would it look like a TV? Would it heat like a fireplace?" the anticipation nearly killed me.

It showed up in a box that seemed to scream "I'm a 50" TV! STEAL ME!", though I happened to be home when it arrived. I was a bit surprised by how heavy it was -certainly heavier than a 50" LCD / LED television, arguably heavier than a similarly-sized plasma TV.

As far as looks go, I want to love this, and being an 80's kid, I absolutely do. It's like watching the Fire Channel on an HDTV, which reminds me of the old VHS aquarium tapes. The backlight is... prominent, making me want to fish out my old neon telephone, paint my walls turquoise and pink, and rock some Miami Vice: Season One. But therein lies a fairly serious problem. Even for contemporary style aficionados, it's hard to overcome the gadgety feel GreatCo seems to convey. And if you're not single and embracing your midlife crisis, you may find that your interior decorating committee objects to the style.

On the functional side, I was fairly impressed by how heat was radiating. It isn't like a fireplace, but it's less obvious than an electric space heater. Where it's just like an electric heater, is in the expense. Even with light usage, I noticed my electric bill climbing upwards.

In the right house with the right decor and the right person, you could pull this off. If you're not dead-on, you're going to find yourself stuck with a dangerously kitschy appliance that's expensive to run. Be careful, Crockett.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This fireplace works wonders on our mezzanine level of our converted loft home. The large second floor master-suite has about 450 sq. ft. but, does not have a radiator. This fireplace makes it toasty, there are two different heating levels to choose from. The flames look real and the ambient LED lighting looks great. installation is pretty straight forward, attach the bracket to the wall (first remove it from the fireplace), hang the main unit and attach the glass portion. Great addition to the room when adding a vented fireplace is not an option.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My box was delivered with a big dent in the front side where the glass was packed. When I opened the box, I fully expected the glass to be cracked or broken but it was perfect, which speaks highly for the shipping container.

I was thinking this would be the size of a 50" TV but it is a bit larger. The dimensions are 50" wide and 26" tall, which is probably the size of a 55" TV. It can be mounted on or recessed inside the wall. Personally, I would never build something like this into the wall because if it ever breaks or you get sick of it, you now have a huge hole in the wall. Fortunately, it is pretty slim (6" deep) so mounting it on the wall is perfectly fine.

The instructions are definitely lacking but fortunately, it is pretty straightforward to install. To install, you will need a drill, 1/8" drill bit, Philips screwdriver bit and preferably a level and stud finder. Also, you will need a few paper towels and glass cleaner to clean the glass front. Be sure to clean the inside of the glass before you mount it as it is quite dirty from shipping. A helper is recommended but you could install this yourself if need be. The unit is quite heavy but the weight is mainly due to the glass front. The firebox is separate and that is what you mount to the wall. Once you mount and level the box, you add the included clear and white stones to the bottom frame, then the glass front hangs over and attaches to the box with 4 hooks and snaps into the bottom. You must connect the backlight cable before you snap the bottom into place. There are two screws to lock it in place and you are done. I would strongly advise against using the wall anchors, as this weights about 70 lb. so be smart and bolt it to two studs with the 4 screws (included).

The glass front is elegant and the look of the flame is more realistic than other electric fireplaces I've seen. From across the room, it looks fairly realistic. Up close, it is not going to fool anyone but I've never seen an electric fireplace that would.

The remote has a temperature display, which defaults to degrees Celsius. After pressing the power button, you can hold the temperature button for 3 seconds to change it to Fahrenheit. The remote also controls the flame brightness (toggles between 3 levels), heater high or low, backlight color and timer. You can also turn heat and flame on and off from 2 buttons on the right side of the unit.

Overall, this is a nice fireplace. I think it is expensive for what you get but the front is a piece of solid glass so I'm sure that is a good part of the cost. I took a star off for the terrible instructions and the fact that the mounting bracket was different from what was shown in the instructions. Also, the bracket for mounting inside the wall was not included, although the instructions said it was. I doubt many people will mount this inside the wall anyway.

I bought this model heater from Costco. My only previous experience with space heaters is the radiating dish, and couple of no frill ones in 1990s.

This one delivers heat within 10 seconds of powering on. Temperature can be controlled (85 degree seems to be the max and 65 the minimum). The unit has a swivel base supports 90 degree oscillation. There is a fan mode and an "Eco smart" mode, which supposedly help save some electricity.

The unit is rated 1500 watts. I can veryify with a watt-meter. Upong starting up, it can go as high as 1800 watts, but gradually stabilized somewhere around 1450 for high heat or custom temperature setting, and around 800 watts for low heat. The energy savings mode cycles back and forth between high and low heat, but I haven't been able to get an average reading from my watt meter.

The fan is not quiet, but not loud either. It's constant and soothing enough which can be treated as background white noise.

Overall it's an effective heater next to me while I'm working. You might find a better price somewhere else.

My daughter purchased this at Costco for me for Christmas. The oscillating feature stopped working in just 2 weeks. Returned to Costco for replacement as I really liked the heating (I type all day for work). A few times I have noticed a burnt smell and turned the heater to low. Today while working, I turned to high and within 5 minutes heard a terrible sizzling sound and now no heat on any cycle. Hopefully Costco will give us our money back.

The heater worked well for about a month, and then started emitting a burning smell before stopping altogether. I opened it up and saw that the wire insulation to the heaters had separated. This lead to a heater wire shorting and disintegrating, leaving charring all over the heater. From reading several reviews, it seems like this common.

I bought this unit as a replacement for the nut assembly on my Mr. Heater extented hose I use for my elevated blind.. The original broke (after several years use) when I attempted to remove it during very fridged weather. This is a good replacement. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating, rather than a five star, is the throw on the back side of the nut is shorter than shown...just a lenght of threaded pipe and no wrench lug. This was no problem, you simply use a ratchet head on the connection head lugs (inside the nut head) to tighten the unit to the regulator.

This it the second that I have owned. The first lasted decades and finally gave out (the gaskets, mostly). This one is working well, has very little to no evaporation and the water level is easy to monitor.

Our old wine refrigerator finally quit on us and we needed a replacement. That one was a small black refrigerator that we kept in the garage. This time we wanted something that would look nice in the house and fit our decor. From the photos and the limited reviews that we could find the Rutherford Wine Bar seemed like a good bet. But, of course, you never know until you can see it in person and our concern was that it would look cheap once we got it. Not to worry, we were very pleased to see that this is a very nice piece of furniture and fits well in our house. This really is very nice and my wife loves the marble top.

It has two separate side by side refrigeration units built into one cabinet with a lighted wine glass storage area above. These are thermoelectric refrigeration units so they will never get really cold. I have them set at their coldest setting (the units do not show a specific temperature setting just a dial that lets you set the units between the minimum to maximum settings)and measuring with a refrigerator thermometer, the temperature is maintained in the mid-50's F at this setting. I understand that thermoelectric units can only bring temperatures down about 20 degree F so this seems about right. This is plenty good for short to medium term storage.

We bought this from Wayfair through Amazon and the delivery was on time. The driver only brought it into the garage so we had to unpack and bring it into the house ourselves. This is very heavy and my son and I struggled to get it to its spot over hardwood floors without damaging the unit or the floors. It definitely takes two and preferably three people to move this. I must say I was impressed with how well this unit was packed. Lots of thick foam padding, cardboard and MDF. No scratches, dents or dings at all.

I would definitely recommend this if its size and style meet your needs.

This cooler is supposed to cool to 45 degrees. The unit I have, new and out of the box, "cools" to 67. Tresanti admits the advertisement that this unit cools to 45 is "wrong", and the resellers that are providing that lie to consumers get that false information directly from Tresanti and their parent company Twin Star.

They admit the cooler I have does not work at all. They admit they no longer sell the refrigeration units used in this cooler. They "offered" to send me the units they currently sell, which cool red and white in the same unit, but I have to install the new refrigerators myself, and they claim there is no warranty on this unit because they choose which of the vendors selling their units they will or will not cover with the advertised manufacturer's warranty. How ridiculous is that?

When you disagree with their business practices, their representative insults you personally. This company should not be in business.

Honest reviews on Rutherford Wine Cabinet in Vintage Cherry DC387C233-3641

I ordered this and it arrived several days earlier than promised. I was impressed with the quality, it runs very quietly and looks impressive. My only complaint is that there is no light inside the areas where the wine is stored. There is a light on the area which holds wine glasses etc., which is nice, but a light inside the cooling areas would help read the labels.

The top section is tall enough to have my tallest glasses hanging upside down and holds 3 in each section. The color is a beautiful cherry. The marble top is more of a marble veneer in that it is small thin sections, not one heavy piece. Very typical of this price point. Our bar and bedroom set has the same type of top. The only warning I would give is that pinot bottles are too big for it, so champagne would most likely not fit either. Has three plug ins (one for each of the two refrigerators and 1 for the light in the top section where the glasses hang. There is also a nice small light in the fridges, so at night there is a really nice soft glow coming from within.

I purchased my first chi machine, an Exerciser 2000, back in 1999 for nearly $400. It's a fine product, but it only has one setting, which I discovered is just way too fast for my bad back to tolerate safely or comfortably. Needless to say, I regretted that purchase and consequently stayed away from chi machines for a few years.

By comparison, the Supentown AB-07 is under $80, it features up to 14 speed settings, and has an easy-to-use remote with multiple options. Now my only reget is that I didn't go looking for this thing sooner.

If you have never used a chi machine before, it's hard to describe the experience. They're simply unlike any other exercise machines I know of. The feeling is both relaxing and invigorating and for people like me, they're great way to help stay active without risking further injury.

If you have a chronic injury or are not in great physical condition, I highly recommend the Supentown (assuming your doctor or physical therapist agrees that chi machines are a safe option for your situation). It's the best value I could find on the market and has more features than many of the far more expensive models.

At the slowest setting, it's so gentle I can use it comfortably even when my back and neck are really hurting. And when I want to step up the pace, the remote makes it easy to increase or decrease the speed gradually, in small increments, so it's always easy to find a pace that feels just right.

I placed my order on a Sunday evening and recieved the machine by Wednesday afternoon using standard shipping.

Only two minor issues to mention.

1. The ankle rest is made of hard plastic, so some folks may want to use a little extra padding for comfort (like wearing an extra pair of socks perhaps).

2. The ankle rest is also a little smaller compared to the Exerciser 2000. I believe they had asian women in mind when they manufactured this model. Wearing a man's size 9 shoe, it fits me just fine. But I suppose people with much larger feet may find it a bit tight.

All things considered, this is one of the very best purchases I've made at Amazon.

I saw these machines on the Ellen Show and checked them out on the Internet. There are rave reviews as to the benefits of these machines aligning your "chi" (not into chi), helping fibromyalgia, diabetes, increasing metabolism, aerating the cells of your body, etc. Some of the machines are quite expensive. This is the best priced machine I could find. I bought TWO of them...one for me and one for my daughter who has fibromyalgia. I'm almost 68 and I love using the machine. The gentle motion is so relaxing, and you can feel movement all the way up to your head. But you have to build up your time SLOWLY. More is not necessarily better when starting out. It makes me feel invigorated, my usual aches and pains are gone, and it's so relaxing. My daughter loves her machine too. She says it really helps her feel a lot better and has eased the pain of her fibromyalgia. It has timers and intensity settings that are easy to use. The instructions are a little sparse, but there are great instructions on the Internet if you search for "Chi" machine. We both use our 2-3 times a day. It's a gentle easy way to move your body without having to do strenuous exercise. We don't use the swivel disk that comes with the machine, but purchased exercise mats that are "seconds" here at Amazon and they work great.

Due to the loan of a Sun Ancon Chi machine, we could make a direct comparison with that machine. The Supentown is a little bit noisier, but not objectionably so. The side-to-side motion is the same in distance. The motion of the Supentown has a little vertical motion; not noticeable or good or bad in real use. The maximum speed is very slightly (3%) slower than that of the Sun Ancon machine, again not a speed difference that is noticeable in use. No experience yet with the variety of speeds available in the Supentown. The overall quality of build is similar for the two; perhaps the Sun Ancon feels a little more rugged, but not in proportion to the price or in a way that gives a lack of confidence in the Supentown.

Bottom line: this machine delivers the desired effect at a very good price, leaving no sense that more expensive alternatives would lead to a better result.

We use the machine with a (baby's) wool 'pelt' laid over the moving element to cushion the legs. Makes it look and feel like a friendly oscillating sheep.

Honest reviews on Sunpentown Healthy Swing Machine with Swivel Disc

I think the healthy swinger lives up to its advertised claims and could actually brag a little more about its benefits. I use it 2-3 times a day to get temporary relief from arthritic stiffness and pain in my hips. It gives me more hip mobility than some of my physical therapy exercises without injuring me. My muscles are less achy. When I want to relax, I put it on a slow setting and let it gently rock me back and forth. When I want to be energized, I use the automatic setting which is delightfully envigorating.

I favored this product because of the disc. With my arthritic hips I thought I might need the extra comfort. I was right. It takes some of the strain off my hips as they move.

I also thought the price was marvelous after having seen how expensive some of the other offerings were.

Initially, there was discomfort to my ankles. Using some of the suggestions I had seen in other reviews, I tried thick socks and other cushions. However, what works best for me is to simply and slightly correct my body's alignment so that my ankles are resting perfectly straight in the plastic ankle cradles.

Of course, this is a simply product. You lie down, put your ankles in the cradle and turn it on. However, there are those of us who read the directions and try to carefully follow them, regardless. And, this is the only real complaint I have about the product. I couldn't understand clearly what was being communicated in some of the instuctions. For instance, it indicates that for arthritis, one should (among other things) raise one's hip off the floor. There is a diagram with a lady lying without a disc on the floor; ankles in cradle. Was this the time to use the disc? It didn't say so and the diagram didn't include the disc. So I tried to raise my hips off the floor without the disc. It works better to use the disc, so I do. Also, there is a fish movement demonstrated where it is written, "hold your fingers tightly and deep arms to the side of the legs". For weeks, I have been trying to determine what is meant by "deep arms". Today, I am thinking it is a typo. But, these minor setbacks haven't kept me from loving my healthy swinger. I want to always keep one of these in my house.

We tried a similar type of machine while visiting my parents over the holidays. It really took the stiffness out of my hubby's hips and back while we were away so we made it our business to get one when we returned home. There is a wide price range. After reading most of the reviews for all the machines, we chose this one, in large part for the reasonable price. Having been forewarned by previous reviews, I was prepared to pad the ankle cradle, and set aside the disk that came with it. Although our chronic hip/back/leg problems are different, both my husband and I find this machine a great help. Hubby says it "loosens things up" and relieves the stiffness. Just 5 minutes on the pre-programed routine and he's able to easily touch his toes and walk without pain along the sciatic nerve. I, on the other hand, have too much curve in my lower back, and eventually discovered, to my surprise, that the disk that so many users call "useless" is very helpful to me. I had to experiment with it's placement, but found that it actually pushes my pelvis forward while working the joints and haven't had a single moment of the groin pain I'd been experiencing at work where I'm on my feet 8-9 hours a day. This has been such a help to us, I've already bought another one for my daughter for her birthday!

We consider this a really good purchase. The controls are easy to manage without having to look at them all the time, and I particularly like the variations in the available speeds. I start slow and "warm up", gradually raising the speed, for the first 5 minutes, spend the next 5 minutes at about 10 or 11, then slowly back down for the final 5 minuts or until the machine shuts off. I try to keep my stomach muscles contracted toward the floor as much as I can, and for this reason, recommend that your start with 5-minute sessions and work up to longer. I actually had sore muscles the first few times I used the machine, and know that like any other form of exercise, you need to start slowly and not overdo. This conscious contraction of the stomach muscles is actually helping to flatten my stomach! Experiment with positions, like slightly twisting to one side or the other if you have chronic discomfort on one side. Pressing my back as flat to the floor as I can is helping to reduce the curvature in the small of my back. If you have too little curve in your back, place a small towel, folded three or four times under the small of your back as you swing. Try different things and you can customize your workout to your own unique situation.

Clearly a lot of people have had problems with this unit. When mine failed after about 6 weeks of use, I dug into it to see what was up. It ends up that the overheat protection on this thing isn't real great. The first layer of overheat protection is provided by a sensor integrated into the heating element. I can't tell exactly, but it seems from the element manufacturer's literature (....) that the device sends a cut off signal between 250 and 300 C, per the chart on page 4. However, Honeywell used an NEC-Schott SF214E thermal cutoff as a backup device. This fails permanently if it's heated to 214 C. In other words, the backup, "sacrifice the machine and not the house it's in" device fails before the normal operation re-settable thermal cutoff. As a result, the device will probably stop working the first time it runs dry. Don't buy it.

Of four units that were sent, three failed after one or two nights' use. Don't bother.

Unfortunately, my experience was the same as most other reviewers. I only got two months use out of the unit before it stopped working completely: no mist, lights or power. Honeywell makes wonderful humidifiers, but this model is a complete dud.

I have a couple of tips for other unfortunate souls who are about to return this horrible humidifier. A rep from KAZ told me to send the unit in to their Return Department and they would replace it at no cost (although I have to pay for the shipping to KAZ). If you're returning one of these units, be sure to tell the rep to do the following: waive the $10 warranty fee, and send a different model of humidifier as a replacement. The rep I spoke to had no problem with either of these requests. Now, I'll just have to wait and see if they follow-thru on a good replacement.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier, HWM-330

I have a newer model, 3 gallon, HMWM-331. After going through 3 other brands with very poor results this season, this one is a winner! Very quiet (no gurgling); it will not disturb an infant or a light sleeper, as opposed to the Bionaire and others, efficient and easy to clean. So far, no mineral build-up, even though our water is quite hard. It uses disposable mineral absorption pads. The only inconvenience is filling the tankit doesn't sit flat and you need to support at an angle. but that is really minor, given the quiet efficient operation and attractive design. Low price too. This is the best we've ever had. The phone support is also good. Kaz works for many brands and they are quite responsive, even though many of the brands aren't very good. I definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a very quiet warm mist unit for a mid-size room.

I bought a new Honeywell Quicksteam (HWM-330) several months ago from a local store, to help keep our bedroom at a comfortable humidity. The humidifier worked well enough, but less than a week after we had been using it, the unit wouldn't turn on again the morning after we used it.

We suspected the problem was that the unit burned out after having used up its water supply during the night. To their credit, Honeywell sent us a brand new unit after we sent the broken one back to them. But once again, the new unit died after running out of water overnight, less than a week after we had received our second unit.

It would be one thing if they had advertised the unit as NOT having an auto shut-off feature. In that case, we never would have purchased it; however, we've had two units die after less than two weeks of CUMULATIVE use, and for the same reason. As such, I strongly recommend AGAINST purchasing this humidifier.
