I bought this unit to heat my greenhouse on frosty nights, It does exactly what I needed it to do. It heats a 12X24 ' greenhouse to 70 degrees when the outside temp is below 30. The plants love it.

This product does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it great! Heats my log cabin in the woods, in winter, to a degree where I'm comfortable. Very VERY light fumes in the air from the heater! Worth every penny I spent! As far as the other reviewer... I'm not sure why he was having so may problems with his unit. Mine works great, planning on buying a second one, recommended to all who need a cheap form of heat for a big space! =)

this heater works good.. you need to "break it in" first. it's best to do that outdoors..i think it took my heater about 6 hrs. maybe a little more. can't remember..i know it doesn't make sense to have a heater outdoors but if you do that inside you get burning metal, paint curing smell??,some of the shiny metal parts will change color. that is supposed to happen..

it was putting out so much heat it would make my ceiling fan twirl.. you must learn how to adjust flame and what the flame should look like. only buy the best kerosene available..

only smells are at start-up and shut down. once it gets up to operating temperature no smell at all. not even a little..

full tank does last 12 hrs.. not sure what happened to the other reviewer.

i would recommend this to buy.. but only if you would use it wisely..

the only reason i didn't give it all stars was the handle that all kerosene heaters have.. seems that they can be engineered better. the handle works but seems kinda flimsy..

i would buy another one but one is enough.. i had a hard time finding a kerosene heater and hurried up and grabbed this one when i found it at an ace hardware store..

Honest reviews on Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Convection Kerosene Heater 23,000 BTU

Purchased one a couple years ago and was happy with it's performance. This year we needed a new tank assembly as ours started to leak. After many unanswered calls to Sengoku L.A., LTD. Torrance, Ca I finally made a call that was answered by a human.(over a month had gone by since I started the process of trying to order the part) I informed the person of the part I needed, part number etc. and was told that they don't carry the part and I would have to purchase a new unit. Just to give you an idea of what you will be up against if anything goes wrong with your unit!

I am not happy with this heater. I needed to replace the wick not even after 2 months of part time use. This was a first for me and I have been using k.heaters on and off for years to help heat my home in the winter.

Edited to update.

I ended up giving this away. It would not heat evenly and the wick was constantly giving me issues. I am very disappointed with this product. I do not recommend.

I purchased this unit in May 2012. I used it to cool my apartment for almost four months. I started using the unit's supplemental heating feature in September 2012. At that time, I noticed that whenever the temperatures outside plunged BELOW 45 degrees Fahrenheit, a BURNING SMELL would come from the unit while operating in the supplemental heat mode... and when that happens, the unit provides little to no heat whatsoever! The unit indicates that its supplemental heating feature provides you with an additional heat source "when needed." But what it SHOULD indicate is that its supplemental heating feature provides you with an additional heat source "only when the outside temperatures are 45 degrees Fahrenheit or HIGHER." When I brought this issue to the attention of the manufacturer of this unit (Electrolux Major Appliances), the manufacturer completely disregarded the issue! I had to contact a DIFFERENT air conditioner manufacturer (Friedrich Air Conditioning Co., Ltd.) in order to find out the TRUTH about this unit! This unit is a HEAT PUMP heating unit, rather than a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating unit. STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating units can operate efficiently EVEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. This unit is NOT a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating unit, but is instead a HEAT PUMP heating unit, which means that the outside temperatures must be 45 degrees Fahrenheit OR HIGHER in order for this unit's heating feature to operate. According to Friedrich Air Conditioning Co., Ltd., attempting to use HEAT PUMP heating units when outside temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit will OVERWORK THE COMPRESSOR and can cause a BURNING SMELL to come from the unit while operating... essentially shortening the lifespan of the unit. So if you are looking for a unit that can provide supplemental heating IN MORE EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES, then this is NOT the appropriate unit for you!

Love this unit, should not be used for only heating source as in the dead of winter it will not warm. we have 8 of these in a small seasonal motel and have had zero issue with them and the operating ambient temp of 40 degrees and it keep the rooms warm enough. I dont beleive it would work well anything below that tempurature.

Best Deals on Frigidaire FRA08PZU1 8,000 BTU Cool/3,500 BTU Heat Compact Window

BACKGROUND

Traditional heat/cool ACs are specialty appliances, like window ACs that are short or narrow. They're installed where a single appliance does both summer and winter duty (think motel). Usually 220v, they produce ample heat and have ample power bills to go with them. This is because they operate like giant space heaters with resistance coils. But in a world of ever increasing energy costs, there's a better way. Its called a heat pump. Window heat pumps are rare and 120v heat pumps even more so. This is the only one made by Frigidaire and only one other company also makes only one.

THEORY

Normally the purview of expensive mini split systems, heat pumps make heat out of thin air, using much less energy than other methods of electric heat. Most window ACs on the market only make cold. This takes heat on the inside and moves it outside. Heat pumps have the ability to run in reverse. They capture heat on the outside and move it inside. Why is this useful? Because moving heat is way more efficient than making heat. This window unit can generate 3 times more BTU per watt than a space heater. Simply put, if half your winter power bill is currently making heat with space and baseboard heaters, this will cut your power bill by more than one quarter.

LOCATION

But, as other reviews indicate, this process is only effective when the outside temperature is above freezing. This model works great in the southeast, south, southwest, and northwest, where winter temperatures rarely go below 40. This model is a poor choice for the northeast and other climates with regular snow fall.

INSTALLATION

The only issue I have with this model is its size. Its 85lbs and closer in size to 12-18k (medium) window units. This reduces vibration and makes it quieter but also limits the number of places it can be installed. The smallest size you should consider is 23 inches across and that requires not using the side skirts (just get extra foam strips). Fortunately, the sleeve system reduces installation difficulty (not having to hold it while getting the bits in place) and allows for both window and through-the-wall installation. Just make sure to wear gloves when moving the inner sled.

USE

Its a little counterintuitive, how a machine with big moving parts can use less energy than a tiny little heater. But thats how much power a glowing red coil uses. This unit really does take less power than a hair dryer. It also solves that annoying burn smell so common with electric heating. It also solved my moisture problems, eliminating the need for the space/cost/power of a separate dehumidifier. Just plan for condensate: winter heating in the humid PNW, it drips more than an AC in the summer. And of course, when summer hits, no second appliance needed just change modes!

I bought one for the office and liked it so much I bought a second for the house. With enough insulation in your windows/walls and combined with an air circulator (fan or air cleaner), it can handle multiple rooms. Heating my small kitchen, living, dining, hall, and two bedrooms with a single unit, it does need an hour or two head start in the morning, but thats what the timer is for.

POWER

This 120v model can easily operate on an empty circuit. It should not be on the same circuit as other heavy appliances. This model actually has 3 systems/modes, with 3 BTU ratings and 3 wattage levels:

Cool: 8000 BTU @ 815 watts

Heat Pump: 7000 BTU @ 780 watts

Heat Strip: 3500 BTU @ 1290 watts

The middle one is the point of this appliance. The heat strip is a kind of insurance, coming on automatically when the heat pump cannot (but using more power while giving you less heat). Such as when its to cold outside or the compressor was recently cycled. Like old fashioned resistance heaters, if the heat strip hasn't been operated in a while, it will make a burning smell. This is normal and should 'burn off'.

NOTES

Window ACs only have one power level, the BTU rating of the compressor. The compressor runs at a constant rate until a target temp is reached and then cycles off. Low/medium/high only effects the fan speed. The higher the fan speed, the more diffused the total cool/heat output will be and the less cool/hot the air coming out will feel. Higher fan speeds cool/heat better when the extra air flow better distributes the cool/heat generated by the compressor. If you need more cold/heat than medium provides, you need more BTU (a bigger unit), an air circulator, or both.

Air circulators (like the Air King 9214) are handy window AC companions. Placed nearby, they dramatically increase the reach of wall/window units and with AC and fan on low, are also quieter. Cold gets removed from the area near the AC, allowing it to run longer and cool more. Meanwhile, areas further away get colder sooner and stay cooler longer (replace cooler with warmer for winter operation).

Sleep mode does the opposite of the set mode, cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer. If you prefer sleeping cooler both seasons, just press sleep in morning when using cool mode.

Heat mode operates like cool mode when energy saver is on. Cycling off/on to check the room's temp.

This model does not have the loud beep found on other late model Frigidaires.

Most negative window AC reviews are because of shipping problems. Consider ordering "shipped to store", so you can inspect the box before accepting it and won't have to handle the return if there's an issue.

Best Lifesmart Compact Power Plus 800 Square Foot Infrared Heater Deals

List Price: $149.00

Last winter, I owned a Lifesmart heater that was nearly $250.00. It was good, but did not have a timer that allowed the heater to turn on before I get out of bed or before I get home from work. Also, the heater I had a year ago was one of those bigger box heaters. On this site, some guy does a video review where he takes one of the bigger box heaters apart (to prove a point about the quartz), but what it shows is how much space is wasted inside the heater! There must be a thought process out there, where a bigger heater MUST deliver more and better heat. Not true, as this heater proves.

This heater is compact and delivers the same, if not more heat than the Lifesmart I owned last year. It is encased in hard plastic, but always remains cool to the touch. It easily and quickly adds the needed heat to my apartment allowing me to save on propane. Sure, as mentioned in another review, it beeps when you change the controls. But you know what else beeps? My microwave, my coffee maker, my washer and dryer...the list goes on and on.

I love that there are THREE power levels, with a super-saving feature that turns on when the thermostat reaches 68ºF. This heater DOES have the great timer that turns the heat on before I get up and before I get home. LOVE IT! Also, it's a perfectly compact size.

After going through SEVERAL Lasko heaters, and the uber-expensive Lifesmart that I bought (and returned) last year, this is by far the best heater I have ever owned for my purposes and would definitely buy another one just like it if I needed it. Also, shipping and delivery was extremely prompt and courteous from this seller (VM Innovations).

Quartz infrared heaters are so awesome. They are safe and they don't burn the air. We own a similar, much larger unit for our upstairs space. It's worked very well for years. This unit is tiny, quiet and very flexible. Low and high settings work perfect for not so cold or very cold temps throughout winter. At this price it's almost a steal!!

Honest reviews on Lifesmart Compact Power Plus 800 Square Foot Infrared Heater

In checking the reviews on a number of heaters I decided on this particular heater, and I think I made a good choice. There are several reasons I chose this heater. First it is compact. I need it for a small room, and I didn't want one of those large box heaters you see so much of. This is less than half the size of those larger units. Second, it uses quartz tubes. The nice thing about quartz tubes is that there is no odor. I have come across several heaters using ceramic elements (all by Lasko), and I would not recommend them as they all give off some kind of odor. I not sure if it is healthy to breath in this odor; sometimes the odor can be irritating to my throat and lungs. Thirdly, it heats my small office just fine. The room I use it in is about 12 x 10 feet.

I love all the features this unit comes with. It is thermostatically controlled, it has a remote control (which controls temperature, on/off, heat level, timer, and Celsius/Fahrenheit), a temperature readout, low heat (1000 watts), high heat (1500 watts), eco heat (sets temp at 68 degrees and uses 500 watts), and buttons that duplicate the remote. The unit retains the temperature and mode (high/low/eco setting) when turning the unit off. This is nice because I can just turn the unit on with the remote and it heats with the previous settings that I had input. The unit has a cool down period after you turn it off which extracts any remaining heat, or maybe it's a safety feature to cool the unit down. Some people had complained about this, but I don't see it as a problem. The outside of the unit always remains cool to the touch.

Some people have complained about the unit not heating their area. For the size room I have (12 x 10) it works just fine. I think the best use for heaters like this is to take the chill out of the room and not as a source of primary heat. Often I have it on for a short period of time, and then I shut it off because it is warm enough in the room. With all heater advertisements, you need to take the maximum heated room size specification with a grain of salt. There are many factors that determine if a given heater will provide sufficient heat for an area. For example, are there any openings into other rooms, is a stairway present in the room where the heat can rise, how many windows are in the area, are there any outside walls, how well insulated are the walls, how cold is it outside, etc. For a small unit like this, it should adequately heat an area of about 300 square feet; again, it depends.

Everything said, I like this heater enough that I bought another one for my bedroom.

We fired it off last night for the first time. It runs great and the fan isn't all that loud. The only problem I have with it is that it short cycles a lot when it reaches the temperature its set for. When it does reach the set point, it cycles on for about 10 seconds, off for a few minutes, then back on again, on and on. Very annoying.

If I decide to buy another small heater, I think I would chose a different one for sure.

For Canadians, it would be nice to support the Canadian economy and actually find a product that's made within the country. I found this Seabreeze product which is a little bit pricey for what it is.

The one I purchased is the SF8T model. The product is a hit and miss:

HIT...

1. Very slim and compact. I can put it on a coffee table top and isolate the heat towards me without having to turn on the whole house heating system thereby avoiding more expensive heating bills.

2. Retro-looking unit. Might be a turn-off to others.

3. Selectable power for more energy savings from a low 1,000W to a high 1,500W.

4. Simple controls that are easy to use ones you get the hang of it.

5. Heat-free, light outer polymer material that you can touch without fear of getting burned from a hot surface or static when touching a metal enclosure in a dry air environment.

6. A small handle at the back to help you carry and move the product around where needed.

7. Variable heat temperature with a fan that automatically spins on and off depending on the desired temperature.

MISS...

1. Poor manufacturing construction quality. I opened a few boxes that was shipped in two retail stores and the quality of the product varied. There are a couple of products with scratches and others with deformed polymer from the poor manufacturing process.

2. The small fan in my first unit was whisper quiet. I returned due to a deformed outer casing. The second unit has a noisy fan which sounds like it's not perfectly balanced on it's axis when spinning.

3. Although I like the retro look, I have to wonder why it can't be improved upon or refined better. The front controls look like a high school project from generic parts bin electronics store.

FINAL THOUGHTS...

It's hard to take this product seriously when you can find solid construction and good quality heaters made in China for half the price. I like the look of this retro heater that is a statement in itself. If they can take their manufacturing process seriously, they can broaden the appeal of their heaters to outside patrons apart from their very own Canadian people.

Honest reviews on World Marketing Winchester II Factory Direct

I ordered this faux fireplace heater for my son's room. The reviews were solid, and the heating system was fire safe.

However, they fail to mention that the "oak finish" is cheap veneer, not oak.

And NO ONE mentioned anywhere in the advertisement here that the unit arrives UNASSEMBLED!!!!

I am concerned because the unit I bought two years ago from AMAZON was solid oak (not a cheap finish), and it came fully assembled.

I cannot yet comment on the heater itself, but I did want to warn prospective buyers that the quality of "oak finish" has been downgraded without clarification or any change in the language.

I will add an update in a few days after we have had a chance to use it.

***********************************************************************************

I have now had a chance to assemble the device, and to use it in my son's room for more than a week of cool weather.

First, the assembly is not easy. There are 80 pieces in the box, mainly screws (55 main screws, + 3 smaller ones), so be prepared to dedicate at least an hour to the work.

I was not impressed with the durability of the heater once constructed. It is heavy, and it is not designed for major relocations once it is constructed.

On the other hand, and despite the faux oak finish, it really is a beautiful addition to my son's room. He LOVES it--and uses the false flame as a night light to hypnotize him to sleep. It is quite nice to sit in a darkened room and stair at the "fire." The heater and thermostat also work well. My ten-year-old was able to operate the controls out of the box. Another plus.

As a result, I have raised the review from 2 stars to 4 stars. I still take off some credit for the faux finish, the lack of warning about assembly required. But the product does overall deliver the quality you hope and expect.

I had been very pleased with this heater UNTIL today. I have used the heater several times during the past 2 months. Today I warmed up the garage and worked during the morning then shut down the heater and ran some errands. I started the heater this afternoon and after about about 10 minutes I looked over at the heater and there were FLAMES coming out from all sides and the main burner valve knob was on fire. I ran to the propane tank and got everything shut down Thank goodness I was watching, the rubber propane hose could have easily melted and I would have had a wreck. It appears there was a malfunction on the burner valve that allowed gas to escape and ignite. Now 1 month past Amazon Return time I have to deal with manufacturer warranty. So now I have to mail it in, at my expense, and wait to see if they will stand behind the product. In the mean time I have no heat in the garage.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I have only had this heater two days. That said, I took it home yesterday attached the propane (that was essentially all there was to set-up) and fired it up on low and it put out a pleasant heat.

This morning the temperature was about 6 below zero and I turned the heater on and set it on high. I let it run for about 15 minutes and the garage had warmed up significantly, it was at least 40-50 degrees and possibly warmer. I didn't check the thermometer (digital one in my car) until after I left the garage. But as I was driving my car away from the garage I noticed the temperature was rapidly counting down at that point it was already down to 20 degrees and continued down to the outside temperature of 6 below.

My garage is detached 30' X 30' with 14' high ceiling, so it was heating over 12,000 cubic feet.

This is a replacement space heater. The previous one was a Mr. Heater Portable Propane Forced Air Heater (jet heater). I was a bit worried with the fact that the new one was convection but that concern was unfounded. It actually heats the area much faster. The convection heater does not seem to put off nearly as much smell as the forced air heater, in fact it was essentially odorless. Although with this first test I did not use a fan to circulate the warm air, I am sure that will improve it's already impressive performance. Unlike the forced air heater, this one does not require an electrical connection to operate so all you have to do is supply the gas and turn it on. One possible drawback would be that I was able to use the forced air heater to thaw frozen pipes since you can direct the heat, and the convection heater won't work for that.

It does make noise as it burns the propane. If you have a weed burner, or a branding stove, that is what it sounds like. The volume increases at higher settings. It was a little quieter than the forced air heater though.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH200CV 200,000-BTU Propane Convection Heater

Ordered through smazon Mr. Heater MH200CV December 13, 2011. Unit was shipped and received timely. Did not have need to install unit until February as the weather here in North Georgia is quite mild this year. I hooked the unit to a 100 lb. propane tank and tried to light the pilot after observing all fittings were tight and the heat control knob was properly positioned. Upon depressing the pilon/safety button, I heard a loud hissing sound indicating that propane was flowing through the lines unobstructed. Immediately I depressed the igniter button several times attempting to light the pilot light...no luck. I discontinued the effort to light the pilot. I tried this several more times to no avail. Finally, I remedied the excessive propane through-put by barely depressing the pilot button...presto, the pilot light with a monstrous flame. In addition the burner was ablaze also without the the burner knob still in the pilot position (fully clockwise). Upon releasing the pilot button the flames were completely out of control. The thing acted as if the burner valve was fully open although it was completely closed. The heater would do this wild activity for a few minutes then it would flame out at which time I would make hasty tracks to shut the gas supply off.

NOTE: The gas flow is so great that the pilot cannot be lit if the button is fully depressed. I could light it only when the valve was partially opened.

This thing is dangerous. I will be in contact with the manufacturer on Monday next. I'm hoping for the best as some other customers with similar problems have had difficulty getting their problems fixed through the manufacturer.

I checked all settings several times and tried to get the unit to operate normally--no luck.

It served its purpose. But for some reason or another, it stopped working. We were building a house and we needed a heater that could give sufficient heat in an under construction building. It did that, but it didn't hold up well. The construction heater got a leak in the on / off valve.

I love this heater! It takes about 20s to heat up, but it's a great heater for a small room. I turn it on at 1200W when I get home and in about 20 minutes, my room is noticeably warmer than the rest of the house. Our house is huge so a central heater would be inefficient, so we use space heaters. Ceramic heaters that blow out air warm up rooms the fastest, but use 1800W vs. 1200W or 800W from this heater. It does oscillate and allows you to tilt the heater as well as change the direction of the heat manually, without having to turn oscillation on. Have not tried the remote yet as I keep it within an arm's length away.

I've hung a shirt over this heater before & took a bit too long in getting it off, so the alarm light came on because it was overheating. I was nearby and watching it, but it seems if you did something stupid like went away while you left your shirt on the heater, then it might burn out or cause a fire (or it might turn itself off). When you lift it up, the safety function comes on and it does shut itself off.

I bought a Soleus 14" as well (400W & 800W) and to compare with the soleus which is a bulb, I think the Soleus is more instant & has the 400W option, for those who want to keep the heater close by and not looking to warm the whole room. The Soleus is a lot brighter because it uses a bulb, whereas this one uses coils. I feel like the Soleus is a bit warmer at 800W than this one at 800W, but the Optimus will probably be better at warming up a room at the same 800W. The soleus, when you lift it, will momentarily turn itself off, but will come on again by itself (whereas this one will stay off & you need to turn it on again).

This one does make a bit of noise while it's starting up, but becomes quiet after. I'd highly recommend both the Soleus & the Optimus. Just have to decide whether you want 400W & 800W (Soleus) or 800W & 1200W (Optimus). I've been keeping the optimus in the bedroom to warm up the bedroom and the Soleus in the bathroom to warm myself instantly & for only a short while.

* Very simple 800 or 1200 watt settings (Costco's Presto is 1500 watts, manually adjustable with the knob)

* Timer (3 settings~ save energy!)

* Remote (comes with a snap-in bracket that can be mounted on the arm of the heater) works well IF you point it right at the sensor (located at the base of the heater). I thought it didn't work in the beginning and almost wanted to return it. Finally I figured it out. IT WORKS!

* Up-down manual tilting

* Tip-over (or if you want to move the unit) Auto shutoff (Presto will make a beeping sound if you move it. This one simply shut it off.)

Overall, the quality is good with the additional features that WORKS. I just don't wanna spend the same money buying the same old stuff from Costco. This one is a keeper. The only possible concern is the warranty. I cannot found the company's contact phone number (they only provide an AOL email). :P

If you are looking for up to 1200 watts (not the highest power), additional features such as timer, remote and up/down tilt, this is a good buy! :D

Honest reviews on Optimus H-4438 14-Inch Energy-Saving Oscillating Dish Heater

I purchased this item maybe two months ago. I never used it much until I went to bed. When I turned it on it would be on no longer than 10 to 15min. tops before I turned it off to go to bed. Last week I turned it on as usual and it made strange noises and the second level of heating did not come on. No matter how many times I tried to heat it, it would turn itself off. I wish I could get my money back even though I have 4 other dish heaters in my home that work well for the last several years. But this one from another company pooped out. I didn't get my monies worth.

I'm disappointed.

I purchased this product after reading several positive, if not quite rave, reviews. I was particularly interested in the ability to regulate the temperature using the thermostat. I was using it to supplement the heat in a large bedroom at my parents home in Chicago during this past, particularly cold, winter.

Set up instructions were adequate. I attached the legs and the casters, re-read the precautions about placement in the room, plugged it in and turned it on. It immediately began heating up. Greatly encouraged, I set the thermostat, stayed in the room for a while and, deciding it was like watching and waiting for a pot of water to boil, I left the room. I waited about 25 minutes and then went back into the room to see how much it had heated the room. I was surprised to find the indicator light on the heater off and no heat being emitted. The room was still very chilly.

I turned the thermostat up thinking that would start the heater again.... nothing.

I turned it to the off position and then on again.... nothing.

I turned the thermostat to it's highest possible temperature setting.... nothing.

I tried turning it on and off at both heat level wattage settings.... nothing.

I unplugged it and replugged it and turned it on again... nothing.

I checked to be sure it had not tripped the circuit breaker.... it had not.

I unplugged it, waited a while longer to see if, after completely cooling down, it would start again... nothing.

Simply put, this product just stopped working within an hour of first plugging it in.

I sent it back to Amazon for a refund, drove over to Home Depot and bought a portable heater that their manager recommended. It worked just fine.

I ordered this product to supplement the heating in our 5th wheel RV, especially at night. Sorry folks but it doesn't cut it. It is 29 outside and now only 63 only a few inches in front of and above the heater. I was hoping for more but I got less. Such is life.

I agree, not the hottest thing on the planet but gets the job done. And it doesn't complain. Maybe others got defective products from manufacture, but mine works great.

I have had this heater for a month-and-a-half, and I am very pleased with it. I had hoped it would heat the whole area (a basement apartment-in-progress), which it does not. But what it does do is to heat whatever/whoever is in front of it. It feels like sitting in front of a fireplace! Toasty warm, although it does limit how far away from it you can get. Before getting the Optimus H-8408, I had a different type of heater that was also rated for large rooms. IT DID NOTHING, except make a lot of noise (fan-forced type heater). The Optimus is SILENT, and good value for the money. Don't expect it to work miracles, especially if it is your ONLY source of heat, but it certainly has kept me happy through January and the first half of February in an unfinished basement!

New HOLMES HFH113 Electric Fan Forced Heater Thermostat Personal Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is the worst small heater I have ever used. I keep it under my desk at the office. The idiot thing can't run for more than 3 minutes before the "Overheat Protection" kicks in and shuts the heater down. I do not have the front or back blocked or anything else that would prevent proper airflow, which would cause it to shut down that fast. Once the auto-shut off does kick in, there is no way to turn the heater back on for at least 25 or 30 minutes. This things is a piece of garbage and a total waste of money. There are much better options in the price range for the money.

I replaced this with the "Honeywell Ceramic Space Heater" available on Amazon for $21. It works like a champ. I regret buying the Holmes product.

I had purchased this heater to replace one from Duraflame but found this one to be severely lacking. It has a single control knob that allows for two temperatures, off and blazing heat of the sun. This heater blasts out intense heat for a few moments, overheats and then shuts down. During the shutdown time you are freezing until it decides to throw more heat upon you.

Customer Ratings:

I bought this fireplace to go outside on my covered porch about six months ago. I was slow to provide a review as I at least wanted to see how it held up in this atmosphere after a few months. Well I really did not buy it for necessarily for a lot of heat , more for looks. And it has not let me down. It does produce heat but since my configuration is outside, I really cant say how much heat it would give off inside. But it is sure worth the try.... i love it and my back yard is an extention of my home.
