The unit vents out to the sides, not out the back. When you try to build a cabinet around the wine cooler, it will not reach desired temperatures due to insufficient ventilation. The units measurements in the advertisement on Amazon were also incorrect. It said it was 13" deep and 22 inches wide. Actually, it is 13 inches wide and 22 inches deep. I contacted Amazon by phone and let them know of this discrepancy.

While looking for a reasonably priced small capacity wine cooler, decided to give this one a try.

The touch panel controls and temperature control mechanisms are unreliable and I first noticed touch panel strangeness after setting it up. The touch panel was initially non functional but with some fidgeting and taps to the top door hinge and realizing there is a wiring harness under the hinge cover, the touch panel worked but remained somewhat tempermental.

The unit appears to have gotten the temperatures mixed up and ended up activating the heater to heat the wine to a nice toasty temperature of over 85 degrees. I had a separate fridge thermometer to monitor after some initial temperature variances and an overheating incident related to a power outage. Two corks popped with such great force that the door popped open and spilled wine all over the floor.

When the unit worked it was fine and temperature was cool at the 45 and 55 degree settings. However, the unit ended up overheating or activating it's heater function and cooked the wine TWICE... no more going back to amazon after 2 weeks. Look elsewhere as now I am running triage on the 18 bottles of wine to see if they are still drinkable after a cook cycle... A lesson learned while getting into the hobby of wine drinking/storage/enjoyment.

Better luck to all.

Bought this to supplement a much larger wine refrigerator out in our garage that is only used for reds...this one is for the modest number of whites that we have on hand at any given time. It looks nice in our kitchen and is very quiet. It can hold 44 degrees in the upper compartment and maintain a 10 degree difference between compartments, with the caveat that the thermoelectric cooling cannot attain a temperature that is more than 30 degrees below ambient. What that means is that this fridge is not for use in a garage that can get to 100F+, as the wines would then get above 70F (I haven't tested the heating capability, but assume it is much more capable). There were no instructions for attaching the handle, but even I was able to figure that out. :-)

Honest reviews on Spt Dual-Zone Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 18-Bottles

Bottom line: Do not buy this cooler. It's not worth it. The quality is horrible and it will break before a year is over.

If you still want to know why I feel this way: The top part of this "cooler" stopped working in January. I got the unit in October. The top portion "claims" to be able to cool to 44 degrees so I placed my white wine on top and the red wine on the bottom. I set the temperature to 47 but noticed recently that it was 60. Then it climbed to 70. And today was a whopping 77 degrees! It's February (read cold) and not even that warm in my house. My house is at 70 which means that the "cooler" is actually heating my wine. *horrifying* It's less of a wine cooler and more of a wine baker.

In regards to getting it fixed/replaced: The return window from Amazon has closed. They directed me to Home Depot who fulfilled the order. Home Depot did nothing to help me other than transfer me to other phone numbers/associates. The total time on hold/wait exceeded 1 hour. I finally got a hold of SPT. Their phone number is 1.800.330.0388. My problem is exacerbated by the fact that this was a gift from my wedding registry. So I had to hound my gift giver for the order information. Now SPT wants me to drive the fridge to their warehouse so they can inspect and possibly replace. Will post updates.

So I got this product and it makes a loud buzzing noise and the digital display does not work. Up to this point I have never had a problem with electronic products ordered through Amazon but I guess there is a first for everything. If you are looking for a headache and what is clearly inferior manufacturing, go with this product. Otherwise, stay away from this one...

I have owned this stove (5510) for one year. It's installed in my living room, which is in the middle of my house. Last winter, it kept the bulk of my house 65-75, but we had to use space heaters in the bedrooms at night. Last year, we burned 3.5 tons of pellets, for a total operating cost of about $1000 (including space heaters), which is maybe a third of what I spent in past years on propane. General operation and cleaning is easy, but the original igniter went bad after a few months (replaced under warranty). Also, I recently noticed that the glass gasket in the door is in bad shape, so I called the company and they sent out a new one, also under warranty. Customer service has been excellent so far. I am very happy with my purchase.

If the stove would keep working it would be great but it keeps breaking. I bought the stove in August and by December the ignighter was bad. Us Stove did warranty the ignighter once. But now in the second season the ignighter is bad again and also the auger moter is bad. Of course now it's been over a year for the warranty. Since the heating season is about 6 months here in Michigan that is what time you get to operate the unit under the warranty. Us Stove directs you to use their web site for parts but their it says auger moter out of stock for a month. I would not buy a Us Stove again! Look else were for a different brand.

I've had this stove for 2 years now and absolutely regret buying it. I have had SEVERAL ignitors go out. The door and seal are sub-par and had to be replaced. I constantly battle with the settings. It commonly overflows the pot. It's a shame that an american company makes such a shoddy stove. I bought this thinking I could save a few bucks. Apparently with this item, that's not the case. Once it breaks one more time, it's getting pitched. Do a little research on hearth.com if you want to know more. Very few people have a positive thing to say about this brand.

We use this machine in the lobby of our business and use it almost everyday. It is easy to use and easy to clean. We take this machine to trade shows and to schools for fundraisers. The tri-pack popcorn makes it very easy as well. This machine is a little larger and stronger than any other that I have seen. Great Product!

Bought this machine in January 2012 and it's still going strong. Popcorn machine was a big hit at parties and my family reunion. Once you use this machine you won't go back to microwave popcorn. It's easy to operate and clean. If you want movie theatre popcorn you have to get coconut oil and butter popcorn salt.

The one small problem i had that i quickly figured out is that you have to use a little less than 4 ounces of popcorn seeds to cook all in kettle. If you use 4 oz or more, only half the popcorn would pop. So, 3 to 3.5 oz seems to be the magic number for my machine.

This style of popper has been around for decades. There is a stainless steel kettle suspended from the roof of the cabinet, with a stirrer, and you put the kernels inside to heat in the oil and then spill out when the lid lifts.

The sides are tempered safety glass panels while the doors are polycarbonate plastic. You use commercial popping oil (coconut oil based) that can take the high heat of the popper. The cleaning is relatively simple; the worst job is occasionally cleaning out the windows as they get a bit greased up. There is a drawer to hold the unpopped kernels.

This is reasonably priced enough for a splashy home theater or for a boys and girls' club. Charitable organizations and businesses might even consider it for carnivals, convention events or fair trailers for selling popcorn or giving bags away as a promotion.

I decided to wait to write my review and before I knew it...it has been over two years. Still going strong! We love it and the only complaint is I wish I had bought a 6oz. popper. The popcorn can be sealed up and eaten the next day and it is still fresh. We use mega-Pop but they are all pretty much the same. Movie night is really exciting now and our guests simply love it!

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn Black Foundation Antique Style Popcorn

After much research, I decided on this model popper from Great Northern. I purchased a box of their 4oz pre-measured popcorn to go along with this and popped my first batch after taking about 10 minutes to set everything up. Four minutes later I had my first batch of popcorn. I think each popped batch is enough for two people so I'm happy with the volume. The design of the machine seems fine to me. Nothing was obtrusive and nothing was excessive. Simple and easy. I'm extremely happy with this popper and so far I think it is worth the cost. Their owners manual could use some simplifying but that's just being nitpicky.

I love my duraflame infrared electric heater /fireplace mantel. It's my first so I hope I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It pumps out the heat! I have it in my livingroom and it keeps it comfortable. I keep it on 72F the default setting and the heater auto shuts itself off when it reaches it's temperature, an when it drops in the room it comes back on.The heater is not loud. It also has an auto timer too which is nice! Also a flame adjuster and remote. When you shut the unit off the fan will keep blowing to cool the components down(for a few minutes). Also the wheels on the mantel are convenient,because you can roll it into any room to "knock the chill off "without turning your heater up in your home. The picture actually didn't do it justice. I was impressed with the mantel nice wood finish,beautiful and I fell in love with the flame, it is very real looking. My parents have a duraflame infrared electric heater stove at their house and I was impressed with the real looking flame and the heat it put out. So I decided to get one. Delivery of my order was fast and arrived in excellent condition and already assembled, so all I did after unpacking it was plug it in!

We live in a 1970s mobile home with 2 additions. Its not very well insulated and to make matters worse, our furnace ducts run under the belly of the home where they are exposed to the cold air. Our propane bill hit $650.00 for just 5 weeks of heat, and we knew we were in trouble. So we bought this electric fireplace for our living/dining/kitchen/hallway and use it along with 3 smaller infrared heating unts (one in each bedroom) and our house stayed comfortably (70 degrees) warm the rest of winter. It felt SOOO good to call the propane company and tell them we didnt need them to come back out for a LONG time. (our water heater is still propane but Im considering changing that) Even better, Our electric bill has stayed under 200 bucks and I am one HAPPY CAMPER!!! Our total investment in all 4 units is less than we paid for one month of propane!!!!! No more wondering how we will ever be able to afford to heat our home.

-It is every bit as beautiful as it looks.

-The "flame" is nice and you can adjust the brightness/amount. Our toddler loves to watch the flame

-We have a toddler and a dog and its not too hot or dangerous for them to play around.

-The remote is tiny enough to hide out of the way but the buttons are big/easy to use.

-And the best part, it doesnt look like a portable heater in my livingroom but thats EXACTLY what it is.

(I actually came back hoping to buy another for our 3 seasons room that we are wanting to convert to a master bedroom. Hopefully it will be back in stock soon!)

I couldn't believe how quick we received our fireplace. it's beautiful, heats the room nice and evenly too. we had a propane fireplace, up near the ceiling it would be hot and the floor would be cold. now it's nice and toasty high and low.. the fire sure looks real too. we really love our fireplace. we have only owned it a few days so not sure how the electric bill will be but i do know the furnace hasn't kicked on all afternoon. so saving on propane for sure. great item.

Being somewhat hesitant to purchase a fake fireplace, I must say this is very nice. The wood quality is better than I expected. The size is perfect, not too large and certainly not too small. The flames are realistic enough, it does set the mood. The infrared heater is excellent for our large patio room. The only thing I would change is the fan noise. It's slightly louder then I would like but not overwhelming. That's why I gave it just 4 stars. Would I purchase this again? Yes I love this new addition to our home.

Just received our Duraflame Infrared Rolling Mantel 5200 BTU, 1500 Watts, Model# 23IF1714-0107 yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. This is our first electric fireplace and I definitely didn't want it to look tacky. It is very beautiful. The wood is rich and the flame is suitable for us. No electric flame is going to look like the real thing, but this is nice and the flame is adjustable. I like the fact that it is on rollers -very portable. Another selling point for me was that it heats up to 1,000 sq ft. Most items this size only went up to 400 sq ft. That was a big issue for this purchase when researching the market: the mantel we needed could not be wider than 36" and that is a difficult quality to find. The area it is in is kind of odd. We bought it for heating a mother-in-law's quarters of our home which, after my mother-in-law recently passed away, is now a den area. The living quarters used a combo heater-A/C unit that is somewhat noisy. We decided that an electric fireplace might be quieter and more economically efficient for the area in the winter months. This product is definitely much more quiet and it is actually much closer to the TV/den area than the old unit. I have already recommended this unit to a friend! The only drawback, which is no big deal, is the smallness of the remote control. I am afraid it will get lost. It would be nice if the cabinet had a storage area on it for when the remote was not in use. I would definitely buy again.

Recently experienced some winter power outages & realized a dire need for some 'peace-of-mind' during any future episodes! Consequently, this came in handy yesterday 12-19-2011, when the furnace happened to fail out! I am in the White Mountain range, and it was only 9 degrees when this happened; this little guy kept us from freezing to death, literally! BTW, i am in a 2000+ sq. foot home, 2 level, so even though that's much more space than this one is actually capable of heating, the heat naturally moved upstairs & throughout the house & kept it 'livable', regardless! ;) This unit provides more than enough heat to 'camp-out' & survive a no-heat situation comfortably for probably up to 1000sq. feet in a pinch, if it's not too, TOO cold out! ;) The heater does EXTREMELY well, is VERY efficient (around 99.7%!), and a perfect emergency-type or 'supplemental' heating source. It is NOT recommended as a primary heat source as it is NOT vented and even illegal for use in some states (Massachusetts) because of this, so check w/ your state laws 1st before ordering...Note: this unit should NOT be used in a bathroom or bedroom, only a 'primary' (and open!) living space/quarters!...

When you order this heater, be sure to get an appropriate regulator assembly/hose to go with it, as the pressure needs to be 'stepped-down' to 11-13WC, or around 1/2 to 1 PSI in normal human speaking terms! ;) It is NOT meant to be connected directly to the LP gas supply (like you would a natural gas system) without incoming gas pressures first being regulated down; it will blow the valve system & would NOT be covered under any warranties! :P ...

As this unit is VENT-FREE...just for peace of mind for you 'worry-wart' type people (like me!), I would wholeheartedly recommend the use of a reputable carbon monoxide detector in the home this is to be used to protect you & your loved-ones from any dangers...the unit IS equipped w/ an ODS system, that will automatically shut the unit down if there not enough available oxygen (for you!) in the room it is operating, so that helps ease some worries!...Just so you know, my heater is operating in the downstairs 1000 sq. feet living space, in a 10x15 living-room, CO detector @ farthest wall from heater; it's a KIDDE Nighthawk digital CO detector Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display (VERY good!) & has registered ZERO '0' ppm since firing up the heater in the same room! not too shabby! ;)...my detector also has the 'explosive gas' detector built in as well, which comes in REAL handy when dealing w/ LP (propane) gas, as it heavier than air, sinks low, & tends to 'pool' up in lower or enclosed spaces, just waiting for a spark! :O Natural gas is a lil' bit 'friendlier', 'cause when it leaks off, it is lighter than air, & tends to float up, intermingling w/ other air & usually finding places to dissipate & escape with other heated air leaving the home! ;)

Just a bit of info regarding a specific feature on this unit (and actually one of the reasons I chose this model over the other brands!) is a unique digital temperature readout display on the top right corner of the housing, where the thermostat control is located; you can see a pic of it in image two @ the top of the page...Well, this particular feature is NOT included with this unit. I have contacted Mr. Heater regarding this feature and why it is missing...they explained that, although it was a really nice feature to have, customers were 'getting confused' as to what it was & how it related to heater operation???...O-kaay?...so that feature has been omitted from ALL 2011 built units as of January, 2011. This includes ALL units, both LP and natural gas, infrared AND blue-flame units included; SO, if you really appreciated (& wanted!) this feature like I did, the only way to obtain it is to find a 2010 (last years model) unit in somebody's 'old-stock' in their warehouse...I have not had any leads...good luck! >:(

I suppose it's not that important, but I thought it was a handy & useful feature to have w/ a heater...I mean, practically ALL those little ceramic heaters now run on digital temp controls & readouts now too, right!?! :O Consequently, all the pics and descriptions for any of the newer 20-30k BTU units of this nature including the digital temps are incorrectly advertised & need to be updated as such to reflect the omission of this nifty lil' feature... :(

PROS:

VERY efficient

Fan unit INCLUDED with this model (costs $30-50 xtra charges w/ similar units!)

'Free-standing' feet INCLUDED w/ this model (also additional costs w/ others)

ELECTRONIC ignition; VERY nice, compared to the click, click, click push-button BBQ igniters (which rarely work half the time!)

very COZY, & nice radiant heat literally POURS from the face of this heater! :) warms the bones! ;)

very easy to hook up & start using, right outta-the-box!

NO electricity needed whatsoever for operation!...of course the blower wont operate, but it's a nice QUIET & COZY heat! :)

CONS:

Fan unit not very powerful, & slightly on the loud side, a little quieter than a hairdryer on 'low' setting; doesn't move much heat, but the radiant heat helps w/ that issue on it's own! ;) ...it CAN however be set to 'ON' or 'AUTO' or OFF! (which is nice when you don't want to hear it!), AND it is automagically turned on by heat & cuts out when the heater cools down, so no 'human-thought' required when using! :)

Has the ability to burn up fuel pretty quick if you leave it up 'high' for a quite awhile...of course it WAS only 10 degrees! bbbrrrr! :O

Unit REALLY stinks when you use it 1st time, burning off paints/oil/new stuff...recommend burning OUTSIDE for awhile HOT to burn off the bad smelling stuff & 'cure' the unit before indoor use (I didn't have a choice!) :(

Kinda misleading pics/description regarding the digital temp display feature, should be updated to reflect this issue

FYI...vent-free units are VERY efficient heaters, HOWEVER, one important snippet of knowledge that most don't know, or are not usually told about, is the fact that these types of heaters have the capacity to release up to a QUART (32oz) of water vapor into your house while in operation (burning); this is due to the fact that there is no venting for the exhaust gases to escape...hence your awesome efficiency is ALSO the culprit of unneeded water vapor...BUT, this is somewhat negated by the fact that a heater is most likely used in the Winter (cold!) months...humidity levels are usually alot lower in the Winter, and as a result, most people usually choose to add water to their homes (humidifiers, steam pots on the wood-stove, etc.)during these times anyway to help reduce chapped hands & lips, dry skin, & lowering the chance of catching a cold, sore throat or getting sick! So the extra moisture could actually be seen as a 'PRO' depending on how you view it!...too much moisture in the home can obviously be a problem as well! :P

...All in all, I find ALOT of positive benefits regarding this heater & it also works really well for what it was designed to do (possibly heating even better than it was rated by sq footage!)...I would totally recommend this heater for anyone needing a back-up emergency or supplemental heat source for not really alot of money @ all! Geez, very economical in fact compared to 'commercially' available installs/solutions! It's 'The Great Lil' Heater that Could!' & does the job very nicely, thank you!

Happy Holidays 2011 & stay WARM!!! ;)

Purchased this product just after Christmas. It was a replacement for an older 15,000 BTU unit that wasn't enough to heat my older mobile home. This unit put out a lot of heat. For the first few weeks I really liked it. But, in less than three weeks it completely burned up the top cowling just above the center of the heating blocks. It looks like the top cowling sags a little in the center and is very close to the flame. Don't know if it is a design issue or just a unit that was not put together well. Returned it to Amazon. May try another one next winter.

We bought this to provide some temporary heat in the first floor of our house while going through a major renovation here in central New Hampshire. The space is 30 x 40 with a 12 x 12 mudroom. It is about 90% insulated and has 8 foot ceilings.

So far, we're very happy with the unit. It lights easily and the heat is pretty even across the space, although we only have a couple partitions up right now. The unit is also very quiet and other than a VERY faint odor from the propane, you would hardly know it was there. My installer used his CO detector (professional grade) after the unit ran for about two hours and it registered zero. I also installed a digital CO detector close to the floor about 20 feet from the unit as a precaution. So far, it has not registered any CO at all.

My only complaint with the unit is that the thermostat's lowest setting corresponds to about 60 degrees. I was aware of this when I purchased the unit, and it isn't a huge problem. However, since we are only looking for something to "take the chill off" and keep our plumbing from freezing, a lower setting would be ideal...perhaps 50 degrees.

I don't think you will find a less expensive, easy to install, efficient, and quiet way to heat a fairly large space.

The hot pot was listed under a name of "Maruki" in January when I ordered it. I thought it was a different product from what I saw in some super markets. So I placed an order. It's was a big surprise to me when I received the item that has a brand name of "Ikeda". I called the seller and they said that they did not have time to edit the description. If I had known this is an Ideda product I would have bought it from 99 Ranch Market. They are now on sale for $34.99 (the original price was $39.99). However, the hot pot is excellent and the shipping was fast.

This Shabu Shabu Hot Pot makes for great family dinners and conversations with friends. Everyone loves sharing the hot pot, discovering floating delicacies. The only thing I regret with the purchase is not to have invested in the 2 compartment for the broth. With a single compartment we can only have one broth rather than the two we usually get at our local Asian restaurant. The two compartment version allow for a mild and a spicy broth instead of the average dull mix.

Once the food is prepared, there isn't much to do with the hot pot. Just plug it in, adjust the thermostat and wait a few minutes. Usually we set it up on high until it boils, then reduce quite a bit just to keep it warm. With a full load of broth, it takes about 12 minutes to boil before you can start enjoying your delicious meal. Cleaning is very easy as the top comes off.

My husband and I added this to our Amazon registry and were thrilled to receive it for our wedding! We had fond memories of several dates out for shabu shabu at Japanese restaurants in Boston and even at home in Minneapolis. We had to throw a dinner party the weekend after it came in the mail to give it a whirl, and it was a big hit as expected! We loaded up on produce and raw meats from the Asian grocery, added broth to the water, and it was boiling within minutes. We had this whole thing set up on our outdoor table on a beautiful autumn night and we laughed, drank sake and cooked our soups long into the night. What a treat to be able to make this now at home and continue making memories with dear friends!

Some new restaurant opened up near where we live and we made the "mistake" of taking our two little kids to eat there one day. The whole self-serve of plates of food to put into the pot made them go nuts and we ended up spending over 60 bucks to eat there. And then we went back again because it tasted so good. And then we had to take the inlaws and that made it even more expensive. In the end, it felt like we were going broke, but it was still such a yummy experience!

I began looking for a hot pot with a divider just like the one they used at the restaurant, which is ideal because then my husband and I could have our own broth on one side and the kids could have their miso soup broth on the other side. I couldn't find one that was just a pot because I was going to buy it with a tabletop induction burner, but I ended up going with this one since it came with a heating element and pot all in one.

The first time we used it I simply used miso soup and chicken broth like someone else in another review posted. It was so simple and delicious and just as good as the restaurant! I ended up spending 40 bucks on the food because I had no real idea of how much I should buy. This ended up being way too much and I've since then learned precisely how much food I need to buy to serve the four of us and now have it down to about 20 bucks per dinner, which is only slightly higher than a typical dinner anyway. Plus, I always have a delicious leftover soup to eat the next day, which saves me the cost of an $8 lunch.

We use a variety of dipping sauces including somen salad dressing, ponzu sauce, a pineapple chili sauce, and soy sauce. I'm sure there are lots of other options you can make at home as well.

The biggest downside by far is the short cord. Unless you have a table next to a wall outlet, you'll find it hard to plug in on a traditional dining table. It's long enough to keep it at the edge of our dining table, but it's still dangerous and I have to make sure everyone stays away from it so they don't trip on it and spill everything.

Still, the cord isn't enough for me to take off a full star. I still love this thing and have used it four times so far, with the kids loving it just as much as the restaurant's food. And who can complain about saving 50% on a meal when you cook it yourself at the restaurant anyway!

We bought this for our nursery b/c it is difficult to regulate the temp in our son's room. We kept it on low heat/humidify, but one problem is w/o an auto-shutoff, it would get so warm in the room that we would have to turn the unit on and off throughout the night to keep the temp decent. We only used it for 2-3 weeks before we returned it and bought an auto-shutoff unit and separate humidifier. Within that timeframe, our electric bill went from $50 a month to $116!!!

Another issue is the heat and humidity kind of work against each other: the heating unit is on the bottom and the humidifier is on the top, so when the cool mist comes out, the heat that's rising seems to evaporate the mist b/c it never actually feels 'humid' in the room (and it's a smaller room).

For the price, I definitely would not recommend this product it would be better on your wallet to simply get an auto-shutoff unit and separate humidifier...

I bought this product a year and half ago. The product worked good until I needed to get a new wick and lower roller due to roller breakeage. And then the problem started. Called Envion customer service and ordered the two items. When received, the wick was almost an inch wider then the old one, to the point that it rubbed the sides of the unit. The rollers arived as two upper rolers and not one upper and one lower. Called back talked to a supervisor who promissed to send the corrected items. Today the new wick arrived. It is the same larger size as before The rollers still has not arrived. This is going on two months and I still can't usr the unit.

Envion customer service is very poor.

This is our second season using the Humidiheat humidifier/heater/air washer. We researched quite a few humidifiers last winter and we're very happy we settled on this one. We use this in our bedroom and it has proven to be more than adequate. Our primary need was for a humidifier, so the fact that this is also a heater and air washer are the icing on the cake. To compare the air purifying qualities of this appliance to that of a stand-alone air purifier would be silly, but the fact that it does clean the air to some degree is impressive for what this is.

The humidifier uses a wicking mechanism. The "wick" rotates vertically and the moisture it absorbs from the water container then gets blown into the air by the fan. The controls are easy to understand and you can use just the heater or just the humidifier, or both together.

The water container holds enough water for easily a 24-hour period if you run the humidifier constantly. You can simply top off the water container each day, but eventually you need to empty it and clean it because the water does get cloudy. This, I assume, is from the impurities in the air that get trapped on the wick and then deposited in the water as the wick passes through it. The wick is easy to remove for cleaning and can be washed by hand or in the washing machine. You can order extra wicks from the manufacturer.

All in all, the Humidiheat does everything it says it does and at a very fair price.

Honest reviews on Humidiheat Heater/Humidifier

I must admit I was a bit skeptical when my wife wanted to purchase this because we were only shopping for a humidifier. However, it's really nice that this also has a built-in heater. We keep it in our bedroom and it does a great job of adding moisture to the air. I use the heater in the morning to warm up the room while I take my shower. You can use the heater and humidifier separately or together if you like moist heat.

This is not a whole-house humidifier, but if you're looking for a reasonably priced one that can handle one or two rooms and is easy to use, you can't go wrong with this machine. We run the humidifier 24/7 in the winter and fill the tank once a day. The water does get dirty, so I believe it to be fairly good at removing dirt and toxins from the air an added plus. To clean the wick, you just take it out and toss it in the washing machine.

Don't hesitate to buy one of these if it sounds like it will suit your needs. We bought ours at BB&B, but it looks like Amazon's price is just as good, if not better.

Just figeured if they used the term "replacement" you would get a replacement cartridge. A better description would be "General filters 1A-25A fuel oil filter Assembly" or complete with filter? You get the housing with filter already installed.

I wanted a firepalce with realism and this one fits the bill. The only thing I would add is some crackling sound. Overall, I am very pleased with this insert,it looks great.

We are on a budget and wanted a fireplace insert for our custom fireplace surround that we were building. Our major concerns were price (of course), realism and depth of unit. I knew the price and size were good from the description but I was a little leery about the flame effect. I unpacked it and fired it right up and was quite impressed with the effect, it is better than I thought it was going to be.

On the heating ability I would describe its heat output and noise level equivalent to a ceramic heater.

My wife now wants another one for our bedroom.

Reviews of Hamilton Beach 12-Cup BrewStation

Customer Ratings:

i use this at work for myself and a few friends. We make two pots a day and the coffee maker has worked perfectly for a few months now. Its pretty quiet, but the coffee tends to be very hot! the longer it sits in the coffee maker the hotter it gets. Overall, i'm very happy with it.

I've had this coffee maker for almost a year now and I have no problems with it. I have the black one (white and silver are available) and the plastic water indicator does get stained by the coffee but cleans off easily. The inside metal plate should also be kept clean daily, simple wipe down helps both metal warming features stay clean. There is one important item to mention during cleaning, to avoid drips you should open the trigger & let warm water run through it, where the coffee drips or you will end up with leaks when the cup is pulled away because the trigger will stick (from old coffee). Finally, I use the programming feature dailyand I find it is easy to program in different times (if needed) and it has a good indicator letting you know it is already set. It's not meant to be a professional coffee maker as far as flavor, so if you know you will get good average coffee and if that fits your needs, you should also be satisfied with this maker.

We received the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 Cup Coffeemaker as a gift from my sister-in-law. She loved hers and had used it for a few months so she bought one for us. Shortly after buying this for us, her coffeemaker started leaking. She thought it was just worn out from the six months of use and purchased a different type to replace hers.

We used our BrewStation for the first time yesterday. The night before, I set it up and programmed it to make coffee at 5:00 AM perfect, we could get up and have coffee already made. It worked great. A minor problem is that I enjoy coffee throughout the morning and the coffeemaker shut off after two hours. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, I just turned it back on and life was good.

Now before I go on with my story, I need to explain how this coffeemaker works. You pour the water into the first reservoir (for water only) using the coffee tank to measure the amount of water. The coffee tank is placed back on the coffeemaker and the coffee filter and coffee is placed in a basket that fits on top of the coffee tank. The coffee is made and held in the coffee tank. To dispense the coffee, you place your cup below the tank and push on the dispenser button with your cup. Coffee pours right into the cup. Great idea, too bad it doesn't work as well as the concept!

Today coffee was brewed at 5:00 AM again. That's the only thing that worked well. When my husband tried to get a cup of coffee it poured out and would not stop. The cup overflowed, the coffee ran all over the counter and continued to flow until he unplugged it and put the entire coffeemaker in the sink. It finally stopped pouring out when it ran out of coffee. I've cleaned the coffee tank and it continues to pour no matter what I do. Since this coffeemaker runs just under $ 50, the twelve cups of coffee we've made with it very expensive!

I've emailed Hamilton Beach and am awaiting an answer to this dilemma. I need to purchase another coffeemaker today and it definitely won't be a Hamilton Beach brand. I can't afford to purchase a new coffeemaker every other day!

My advice is to purchase a different brand and stay away from this one. Unless you don't have cups and want to slurp your coffee off of the counter!

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach 12-Cup BrewStation

I didn't look for a coffee pot without a carafe, but when I saw it, I decided to give it a try. What I found, I like.

This coffee pot lets you dispense coffee one cup at a time. You still brew it a pot at a time, however, it dispenses the coffee one cup at a time as you need it. Just press your coffee cup against the silver button (kind of like a soda machine at a restaurant). The coffee stays inside of a removable bucket and is kept comfortably warm.

I haven't had a single drip from this unit that wasn't as desired right into my cup!

One advantage that was unexpected was that this unit is kid-friendly. We never considered asking our 8 year old son to get us a cup of coffee because the weight of a full pot of steaming hot coffee would be too dangerous. However, without a carafe, this isn't an issue. Our son is perfectly comfortable with pushing a single cup against the silver button to dispense one cup at a time. Ahhhh!

Finally convenience. This machine couldn't be much easier to use. There is a large plastic bucket with a handle that sits inside the unit. Just pull up the handle and fill it with water and dump the water into the unit. Then, put the bucket back in. Add a filter and push the "On" button. There ya go. To clean it, just remove the bucket. In the days of latte and frapuccino, there's something refreshing about drinking out of a bucket!

I recieved one of the defective ones. It frist started with no current to the coffee maker .By unplugging and plugging back in several times ,I would finally get the clock blinking again .Then its other symptoms of the faulty electrical supply ,it would stop making coffee when only a 1/3 of the pot was brewed ? I would have to restart the brewing process at least 3 times B/4 a fulll pot was brewed ! Hamilton Beach seems to think everyone has a back up coffee maker laying around .They tell you to cut off the cord and send it to them and if you are lucky you may have a new one in 3-4 weeks. In my case I would have to go out and buy a second pot ,while waiting for my replacement ! Thanks to customer service from amazon.com ,they have come up with a differant way to make this customer happy. If I had it to do all over again ,even though I like the potless design of the Brew Station ,I would wait till someone else made a more reliable and better quality built machine ! When they sent me the instructions to cut the cord and mail it to them along with shipping charges for the new maker, I was left speechless and now to find out this is a factory defect ,on what appears to be on a significant amount of these coffee makers ,I believe they have alot of gall making the comsumer pay anything ,for replacement. Has Hamilton Beach ever heard of the two words "class action" ! I will never buy another Hamilton Beach product again. I thank amazon.com for great customer service !

These additives are a must for deodorant and clean burning of Kerosene, especially in homes. However with high-efficancy kerosene heaters the sents do not come through to notice a difference.
