I love my Thermoflo Smart Heat Heater. Once it has gotten the room to a comfortable temperature it is very quiet. Even when it is just starting to heat up a cold room it is quieter than most other heaters with a fan. I live in a one bedroom apt. and when it is really cold I just point it more in the direction of the room that I am in at the time. It was only designed to do one room but I did just fine with one heater and 2+ rooms all winter. And yes it is nice even warmth, no cold spots.

I also like that it is small and lightweight enough to take with me wherever I go.

Seabreeze SOH7000TA works similar to Vornado heaters. Both of these are "no glow" fan based heaters which heats up the room by circulating the air. Both Seabreeze and Vornado heaters are high priced heaters compared to Holmes, Honeywell, Lasko brands etc. It is not made in China like other heaters. I believe this is made in Canada and Vornados are made in USA. So you pay higher price compared to other brands.

Pros: It raises the temperature of a room in just 30 to 45 minutes compared to the brand I mentioned above. It is ideal for use wherever zone-heating is required. It is whisper quiet. Instead of an Oscillating feature, it has a sweeping feature, which sweeps warm air across the room. The heating element does not glow so it is safe around kids and pets. Includes many safety features; and it automatically reduces heat output as the room's comfort level is reached; and finally, it does not dry up the air like ceramic heaters. Some compare this to ceramic heaters expecting a instant radiant/fire place type output.

Cons: Controls are not digital; does not have a three-prong plug but it has a polarized plug.

This heater was bought to replace an old Vornado, and we have been using it for just one day. However, it is doing such a terrific job, that I feel confident in writing this review even after so little time. We are using the ThermaFlo in our living room, and as a bonus it is also heating the adjacent dining room. I should mention that our house is a small rowhouse that was built in the 1840s, so we are talking about probably 300 square feet, but as an old house, it is very drafty, and the heater is keeping those rooms at a steady 71 degrees. (We did as suggested by the company, and lowered the thermostat on our central heating.) The ThermaFlo is extremely quiet, and the heat is absolutely even in all part of the rooms. We could not be happier with this purchase.

I live in Montana where the weather can get to -40 below in winter. I have used this type heater in my bedroom for the past five years and just bought an extra even though the old one is fine.

I have cut my heat bill by $100 a month with this heater as I can shut the rest of the house to 60 degrees at night and use this just in the bedroom -it is all it is promised to be.

While researching heaters, I kept reading about heaters where corners were being cut on what were formally standard safety features (i.e. a working tip over power cutoff switch).

You'll notice a common thread on most inexpensive heaters that on one or two start reviews you see mention of episodes like: "It started smoking / throwing sparks / nearly burned my house down good thing I was there". This was a small percentage of most cheap heaters (like the one and two star reviews) but even if it's happening say 7% of the time, that's something to be concerned about.

Hence my quest:

I decided I wanted something quality and safe. Not the cheapest. Did a lot of research, ordered this. Have had it for almost two weeks. I have this in a small bedroom 9 X 12 feet. When the heater initially starts, you don't have this focused blast. But within 3 minutes on a moderately chill mid-October evening the entire room is * evenly * filled with heat. The fan is there but it does not have a harsh timbre (is not obnoxious to the ears). I actually find the fan "noise" a bit comforting. It's certainly quieter than my Lasko ceramic heater. Admittedly the Lasko cost me more like 40 dollars about 7 years ago and it's fine for what it is.

The controls on the seabreeze are simplicity itself: A red orange LED lit on/off rocker "button" switch. The LED is not overly bright which is good. The thermostat is just a rotary dial type affair. The good news: The thermostat is accurate. Also, since this heater is designed for a sort of semi-variable output (I believe it toggles one or both of the heating elements on or off as needed) it doesn't seem to have that constant on-off thing like my other heater has. It's more laid back / transitional. The other part of what's causing that felt effect is this heater has motorized louvers (slats) that cycle back and forth.

Quality of heat: Very even. The room doesn't feel brutally dried out. This heater has a good "throw" i.e. after about 2 minutes if I stand 8 feet away from it that whole area feels evenly heated.

I'm giving this five stars at this time.

P.S. If you order from Ace hardware thru Amazon in hopes of getting the candy red top colored version it comes in black just the same.

_____________________________________

UPDATE 12/24/2012:

It's over 2 months later and we still love the heater. It only turns on the part (i.e. 1/2) of the unit that needs to be on. Turns on both halves if it has to do a lot of catching up to the set temperature. Relatively quiet. The settings are as straightforward and simple as can be.

UPDATE 1/13/2013: Still like it.

Overview: This is a great small size heater. It has two main setting "low" and "high". The low setting is nearly silent, so you can easily do certain task such as talking or listening to music without some background interference. It has 6 temperatures settings (in Fahrenheit): 65˚, 70˚, 75˚, 80˚, 85˚, and "Max". During the winter time, my room is about 55˚ Fahrenheit, using the max setting it gets my 10x12 feet room heated to 80˚ in 15~20 minutes. It has an oscillating feature that rotates about a 60˚ angle.

Pros: Quiet and many settings to keep your room at a comfortable temperature.

Cons: NO SAFETY FEATURE! I think this is the reason I took off a star. There is no safety function for this heater. If you accidentally knock it over, it'll stay on. I've used other heaters and they have a safety button on the bottom of the heater, if the heater is move even the slightest, it'll turn off as a safety precaution. Now why does this matter? If you have pets this can be dangerous; if your pet knocks the heater over and you're not around to see it, the heater will stay on and potentially danger items nearby or even catch things on fire due to the heat it is emitting. This can be a dangerous concern if you plan on leaving this heater on overnight!

Other concerns: There was a certain smell to the heater when I first used it. But after a few hours of use, there was no longer a smell. It consume 1500watts, it is on power hungry machine. I set the machine on "high" and on Max. When it gets to the temperature I'm comfortable with, I turn it on "low", so it shouldn't consume that much electricity.

Very warm heat. Love it! We don't have heat in our upstairs just yet so we needed something to get us by this winter until my husband puts in the ductwork. We have 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and it keeps it warm if we want it to. I love how you can control the heat it has a setting for 65,70,75 and MAX heat. It has a high and low speed but if you put it on low, you can't set the temp, it just runs on low the whole time. If you have it on high, it will shut off when it reaches the desired temp. It also has a oscillating setting which is nice I use it at night so it blows in all the bedrooms evenly. Happy with my purchase!

Honest reviews on Lasko 5309 Electronic Oscillating Tower Heater

Good heater, but if you are using this on a high setting which is 1500 watts, make sure the outlet you are using does not have anything else using the same outlet or the same line from other outlets or your will trip the breaker box. It you are using this as I am on a line not being shared, it is great. Uses 13.6 amps on high.

Where I live I don't get enough heat. This is my second halogen heater. It gives out very good heat and warms up my living room excellent. My first one did last about two years and then it stopped working, I had to get another one. I believe the wire burnt out after constant use but it really did the job for me and did not send up my eletricity bill. It lights up bright but we got use to the brightness, it has two settings and it rotates. Halogen heaters are also cheeper to run. I am going to buy a third one for the bedroom.

I'm not an electrician, however this timer is easy to install and works well. I installed one in a double box(originally had two single pole switches in it) and a second in a triple box. Installation was easy and the timers fit in without any problems. The cover plate and supplied cover pieces(knob and time dial)showed no gaps or obvious holes. The timers I received were Intermatic products. I used these on ventilation fans/exhaust fans and the timer alleviates the problem of having to remember to return and turn off the old switches. Just thought I'd mention that I purchased these as they are spring loaded. I noticed the other timers made mention of a battery in there description. Good product.

After my order I received an email from the seller saying they were out of the Intermatic. They offered a Woods or my money back. I have 2 Intermatic installed now and could not find them anywhere except for a much higher price online so I went with the Woods. The Woods is basicly the same type as the Intermatic. Installs and runs the same way. It does feel like the spring might not be as good as the Intermatic.

I have run my 2 Intermatics now for over 4 years without a problem. They install just like a wall switch. Good luck finding them though. Home Depot told me they bought all of the remaining Intermatics months ago and they are all gone now.

I use this in my bedroom. It gets really hot, especially in the summer, and I also have a lot of electronic equipment(av receiver, Xbox 360, PS3, LCD tv, some halogen lamps, etc.) and to top that all off I am really hot natured. So I needed something to keep the room cool. This thing does it effortlessly. The temp. in my room used to climb up to 75ºF, now with the SoleusAir it stays at around 66-68ºF, just how I like it. On a side note, my central A/C went out last summer and it got up to 83ºF in my house, but the SoleusAir kept it at a cool 68ºF in my room. So you can count on it even under the most demanding loads. It also has a built-in heater as well and it heats as well as it cools. So this is really an all-in-one unit. The only downside(along with any other portable a/c unit) is that you must run 2 hoses(one exhaust, one intake) to a window. It comes with a window installation kit, but I live near a busy street so I can sometimes hear outside noise... but it's not too bad.

But I would highly recommend this product.

I purchased this in May 2010 and it worked fine until June 2011, when I noticed the carpet was drenched for about 5 ft all around it. The evaporative part wasn't working so the small internal tray had been overflowing. We took the unit appart cleaned it and made sure the float was not hung up reassembled it and put it in a washer pan, the evaporative part still wasn't working. I haven't taken it completely apart to attempt fixing it a 2nd time, we just pump out the water out of the washer pan every day or two. I would say in 80-100+ weather this unit has a hardtime getting the temp down to 74 and being able to maintain it especially with any electronic running in the room, a 10,000 BTU window unit would blow this a way 3x over. The heater also just works ok, this unit keeps my loft room from broiling me in the summer or freezing me in the winter, but I wouldn't exactly say it keeps me comfortable. Oh and it is loud in comparison to even the huge 8 year old window unit that cools the whole downstairs of the house.

Reviews of DeLonghi TRH0715SH Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm

Customer Ratings:

We rent an old 3-story Victorian home with 8 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 3 kitchens. There's a lot to heat in the winter. Even with new furnace and heat pumps etc. it was costing us $800-$1100/month to heat during December-February. After trying several space heaters, we opted for one of these, and it really is a hit. I keep one in my office, one in my bedroom, and one in the living room. At night the one from the living room is moved upstairs to heat the kids' bedrooms. Because the radiator is quiet, I can take calls in my office without a problem. Because it isn't blowing out forced air, there's none of the sinus issues normally seen in winter when the heat is on. We just love them. This is our second year using this model. I'm going to pick up a few more and use them upstairs as well. My electric consumption for that first year dropped more than 50% and we stayed warmer. This year, we haven't used the central heat at all so far, and my electricity consumption has dropped almost 70% what it had been when I was trying to use the central heat and forced air space heaters. I was hoping they'd be cheaper this year, but even at this price, they're worth it. It's such a nice, even, pleasant heat. You don't have to be right near it. It won't burn your skin if you bump it, and you can turn it off or down at night if you get too warm.

This is a slightly edited version of a review I wrote about the Delonghi Vento:

I now own three different models of oil filled radiators. The Delonghi Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm is great, but not as quick to heat as the Delonghi Vento. The heat from the Vento radiates very quickly out the top of the unit. The Safe Heat heater puts a little more heat on the floor, so I am actually glad that I have a couple different models. We use the Safe Heat version in the bedroom because it is very quiet, and heats the floor a little quicker than the Vento. The Safe Heat also has an audible alarm if it overheats, and automatic tip-over shutoff. Those will be nice safety features while we sleep.

Back to the Vento: The timer feature is great; it allows you to automatically turn the heater on and off as many times as you want, up to every 15 minutes, for a full 24 hours! In the winter I plan to have it turn on early in the morning and heat up the living room while we're still sleeping. The analog timer is MUCH better than a digital timer in my opinion. A digital timer has limitations on how many times you can turn it on and off (usually only once or twice). For now, I just leave all the switches "on" and turn it on and off manually.

I have an older Lakewood digital thermostat radiator also; that one we cannot use in the bedroom because the digital relay system to turn it on and off is very noisy, and keeps us awake. Out of the three, it is also the slowest to heat up but it has lasted me 10 years so far so I can't complain. I feel that all analog controls and relays are much quieter than the digital versions. The digital thermostat is nice in the kitchen to set a minimum, but too noisy in the bedroom. .

The Vento is in the living room, puts out the (by far) quickest and most heat, and fills the room-again, less on the floor but it heats the room quicker. The edges are curved so there is less potential for injury, and it really puts out most of the heat up and into the air--the unit doesn't seem to get quite as hot to the touch. The Vento took about twice as long as the Safe Heat to "burn in", but I just put it on full blast outside for about 4 hours and it was good to go. There is much more metal in this unit to "burn in" so it makes sense...

I highly recommend the Safe Heat heater, and even more than the Vento if you want heat on the floor as well!!! It warms up very quickly and is very reasonably priced, and has great safety features. It is our choice for the bedroom.

but i only feel the heat when standing 7" away from it and/or hunching over the top of it.

AND it has to be 3ft away from anything/everything so you can't put it to the side of the room, or out of the way...

really disappointing heater ornament.

Update: okay, so it didn't work in my living room with high ceilings, so I put it in my bedroom to see if it would be better and it did! It was really hot and toasty. So I think depending on the room.... It will work great or, not. So glad I won't have to return it.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRH0715SH Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm

This heater must be kept around 2 meters from any walls, furniture, book shelves, etc. That's tough to do in a small apartment. In my case there was no place to put it that wasn't within 2 meters of something. Desperate for heat in a slumlord-owned building with a draft and a poor radiator I tried to use it anyway. No go. As soon as the unit would start to heat up it would shut off because it was too close to the closet. A safety mechanism that is a good feature to be sure -just look at all the poor people who burn themselves up trying to heat their homes each winter after their utilities are shut off. Still, I couldn't use it in my place. I wish I would have seen some mention of that on Amazon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Skip this product. Not worth it.

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

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

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

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

Great kitchen item (see other reviews). Pretty design BUT... I gave 4 stars not 5 due to the hassle of having to exchange the 1st unit I got in "matte silver" -which in person is really gray plastic (not at all the stainless steel look I expected). I sent it back and got the chrome, much classier.

I bought this kettle because I loved the glass carafe and that I could see the contents of the kettle and I really liked the overall design. But I was completely disgusted with the results!

I always use filtered water for cooking and drinking because I am quite sensative to tastes and odors in my water. The filtered water I put in this kettle tasted FINE, but after the boiling routine was complete, the water smelled and tasted like a swimming pool. I took a sip of tea I made from this kettle and spit it across the room (a la Kramer)! The most foul chemical smell and taste I have ever known. I cannot believe that anyone else using this kettle, or in fact the manufacturer, would not notice it. I washed the kettle with soap and emptied it after each use, but even after a week, the same foul contamination was occuring as a result of heating the water in this kettle. If I left a small amount of water in the kettle for even an hour, I could watch a thick chemical buildup forming on the chrome heating dome that I could wipe off with my finger, like a BAD science project.

I don't know what is wrong with this thing, but it is truly scary. I am warning all consumers to stay away from this chemical hazzard producer and find another way to heat your water!

Note: If you want to better understand the problem, walk into any Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens & Things store and sniff the inside of the carafe they have on display. There is clearly something wrong with the materials used in the manufacturing of this item. It CAN'T be safe.

We've had this kettle for a couple of months now, and we're really happy with it it's not a big kettle I actually thought/wish it would be a little bigger, but on the upside it boils water super, super fast it's a great thing especially in morning rush :-) I would definitely recommend buying this kettle!

Honest reviews on Capresso H2O Plus Water Kettle, Matte Silver, 48-Ounce

I really like this kettle. It heats water very quickly and shuts itself off if the water is too low or is boiling. The only thing I don't like is the silver matte finish. When I ordered it I thought the top was a brushed metal and its not. Its plastic made to look like satin nickel finish but really doesn't in person. The glass carafe does look great sitting on the counter and compliments my contemporary kitchen. Its also offered in the shiny finish which looks much better in person, but is still only plastic.

Fortunately I had the opportunity to see this product in use at the home of a relative, which is how I learned about it. Initially I did hesitate purchasing in the kettle based mostly on criticism seen here regarding the claim of the kettle affecting the smell and taste of the water. However there was not even an initial incident of odor or altered taste to the water. If there ever was something wrong with the design, clearly it has been fixed. So don't let the naysayers dissuade you.

After purchase, the kettle actually exceeded my expectations, water boils very quickly and the design is sleek and attractive. I love the fact that the kettle is clear and provides a clear visual in terms of cleaning.

Lastly, the fact it has auto-shutoff as a safety feature is wonderful. As someone who has ruined several conventional stovetop kettles (whistle not working correctly or offering poor tone) I could not be happier. In fact, I plan to order another.

Nothing smells or looks like a real fire. However, the looks of this one comes close. We are enjoying it. Installed it in the summer and have been using the fireplace. Love the adjustable features. Just started using the heater and so far so good.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife and went through the instructions step by step in setting it up in an existing fireplace only to find that while it looks great it does not however produce hardly any heat at all. Unless you're standing, not sitting like you would a real fire place, but standing literally directly in front of it and over it you will not feel any heat. I contact the seller and was basically told that, "it was what it was", and I'd have to deal with it. Highly aggravated now since I already went through the not so simple task of trimming it out in order to fit the existing opening, as well as running wires up to the attic and then down behind the wall through to properly mount the thermostat control I now had to undo all I had accomplished in order to package it back up and send it back due to no cooperation or help of any kind from the seller. Amazon however was and usually are easy to deal with on returns. I would NOT recommend this product if you are expecting it to maintain some warmth in a room any bigger than a small bedroom or large closet. But again, we were impressed with it's all around look. So just don't purchase on any grounds to based on using it as a heater.

The heater stopped working within the first year under warrenty. The company made me take the unit apart, not an easy process, and mail back one of the components at my expense ($35.00 in shipping). Received the part back supposedly repaired a few weeks later and had to put everything back together again, which was again very difficult to assemble. Product then overheated and melted 3 electric outlets, all of which had to be replaced. You could feel the heat in the wall around the outlet. Lucky it didn't start an electrical fire and burn the place down. Then got rid of it. No response from Sunheat about this.

I own a gift store in the high sierra mountains and needed a heater for the store floor. This heater does a great job. It has a good heat throw without being overly hot and I can't tell a difference on my electric bill for the store. I'm buying 2 more. The price of the heaters will be cheaper than one month's natural gas bill. Good buy and great product!
