Got this on time and worked right out of the box. At first I was debating either this one or another purifier but the remote and 3 years warranty really stood out. Used it for a few days in the kitchen and bathroom it does wonders! What surprised me the most was we have a smoker in the house and this machine removed the cigarette smell just over night. My friend saw it and bought one for his house. I would definitely suggest giving this purifier a test drive.

My husband and I bought this unit 2 weeks ago thinking it would improve the air quality in our home and help cut down on some of the dust. After I received the unit, I went through the manual and set it up according to the directions. This unit has made absolutely no difference in the air quality in our home. Dust flows right through it despite the filters. We use it in our living room, (350 sq. ft.) and it does nothing. There's no way this thing cleans 3000 sq. ft. of air. The seller claims that there's a 30 day satisfaction guarantee but when we contacted the seller so we could return it, we were informed that if the unit wasn't sent back in the original packaging that there would be a 15% ($24.00) re-stocking fee, which is something they don't advertise here on Amazon. Don't buy it. It's a waste of money, the unit doesn't work as advertised, and the customer service is terrible. I would never buy from this seller again.

This is an excellent air-purifier after conducting my research. Comparable to similar designed box units but less expensive. Construction appears very good. I also like the look and styling of the unit.

Capabilities:

-Ozone generator. Five level setting. Very powerful. You can also turn ozone generation completely off.

-Negative ion generator 1 level setting. Can be turned on/off.

-Sterilization using UV light, 1 level, can be turned on/off.

-Fan speed has five levels. Lowest is very quiet, highest is no noisier than a typical room fan.

-LCD display with back light. The back-light is bright but it has a button to dim it.

-Small remote control works nicely.

So far very impressed with unit. Have only had it a few weeks so I cannot comment on its durability but the construction appears very well made. Even though it uses a washable HEPA filter, and the instructions with unit recommend replacement once a year, the HEPA filters are very reasonably priced which makes it a better option. So far I am very pleased about this product and I highly recommend it compared to the other alternatives I found in the market.

Regarding the seller, the purchase transaction was very smooth. The product was well packed and shipped promptly. I had some questions about HEPA filters and the seller promptly answered. Very professional and helpful. Excellent product at a very good price. I will buy again from this store.

Honest reviews on iLIVING ILG938 Air Purifier with HEPA Filter

This item worked just fine for a few months, once I figured out how to position the plate and filters. When I went to put it back in use during allergy season, it didn't power up. I checked inside and found the UV light was broken. But where the heck do you get a UV light for this thing? Also, the directions say to check the fuse, but I couldn't get the fuse cover off. There's no information in the instructions about who to contact or where to take it to get fixed. What a pain to get it serviced!

For anyone purchasing this unit, there are a few things you should know that will make your life easier. =)

STEP 1 -If you plan to use the ozone generating feature, then before you start up your unit, install the O3 plate (located in a separate box packaged inside the carton) by removing the four screws on the back of the unit. Remove each filter keeping them in the order you removed them. When you have removed all of the filters, there are two slots (center, top and bottom) where you will need to slide the O3 plate in. Make sure the arrows are pointing up and slide the plate towards the front of the unit. [DO NOT run the "Purifying" feature which is the ozone generating option if there are humans or pets in the house! I ran mine for about 30 minutes, and even had two windows open about 12" and my throat and sinuses became very dry and I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth and throat.]

Replace each filter in the same order you removed them. Be sure the last filter does not have the outside edge of it sticking out on the bottom or the unit will not work.

~~~~~~

The instructions in the user's manual are incorrect (per the Service Technician from the company where I purchased mine).

The instructions say that "you will know the Sterilize feature is activated from the soft blue glow visible through the front grill."

According to the Service Technician, "when you press the "STERILIZER" button, the sterilize feature of the purifier will get activated. You'll know that by looking at the LCD display panel."

~~~~~~

The instructions also say that you'll know the Anion feature "is activated as the orange bulb will be lit and clearly visible through the front grill."

On my unit, you have to put your face up to the unit to see the not-so-clearly-visible orange light. I have mine on top of a bookcase. If you place your unit up high, you WILL need to stand on a chair or step stool to see the orange glow.

Other than these few issues, I really like this Air Purifier. It's been running eight hours now in our 2-story great room and there is a noticeable difference in the quality of the air. The house smells fresh and not like dogs! YAY!! So far, so good!

Update: 12/6/12 still running 24/7. Our power fluctuated the other day and the purifier turned off. I noticed it a day later and turned it back on. The purifier started right up and is continuing to do its job. Definitely makes a difference keeping the air fresh and clean... even after you have a mishap in the kitchen that sets the smoke alarm off! =) Still loving it. =)

Update: 5/21/13 still running 24/7. Hubby sanded & refinished the hardwood floors in our foyer and the dust residue was ridiculous! The air purifier stopped running so I cleaned the back screen which was clogged up with dust. Not sure how to clean the filters (except for the ozone plate) because the instruction booklet is useless. The unit started right up and is running again. I sure did notice a huge difference while it wasn't running. So far! SOOOO GOOD!!! I am very pleased with this air purifier and so are my lungs. Definitely helps with the asthma. =]

Reviews of BISSELL Little Green ProHeat Turbo Carpet Cleaner, 1425B

Before I got this carpet cleaner, I bought the cordless Bissell Spot Lifter. I sent the Spot Lifter back because it would work only 5 minutes before you had to recharge the battery (12 hours). Even though Little Green isn't cordless, it is small and lightweight and works incredibly well.

We had old pet stains on our cream colored carpeting and since we got the Little Green, we've been able to get all of them up from the carpet. Whenever our dog creates other messes, we're able to take the cleaner out right away and clean it up without having to go through too many steps to get the Little Green ready for use. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those with pets and small children -I don't know why I didn't get this months before -its made a huge difference in the look of our carpet and well worth the price.

As others have stated it works well when it works. I was really happy with the way it cleaned. I especially liked the turbo brush. But when I went to use it for only the second time the sprayer wouldn't work a frequent complaint I understand. You don't have to be particularly handy to fix it. You need a screw driver, a pair of pliers and a paper clip. Unplug the machine. Take the four screws from the top out. Pull the top up. Underneath you will see a black box with 4 screws undo. Underneath the cover is heater box. Lift up and undo the 5 screws on the bottom. You will see what is causing the problem. You don't need to disconnect the wires. Release the clamps holding the plastic tubes with the pliers and gently remove the tubes. Use the paper clip, opened, to clean out the holes in the heater. It did not take long at all.

Folks, it isn't so much a design flaw, rather its as much a problem with the chemistry. Jets only get clogged if soap solutions are too concentrated, the water used is dirty, or some chemistry conspires to build up lime or sludge.

I have a proheat clearview upright... used it for over 3 years now. Noticed the spray wasn't as zippy for the past two years as I seemed to recall when we first bought it. Tonight, it wouldn't spray at all. Thought: bad belt, but the belt was fine. Thought: clogged sprayers (these are a bit larger than on your model), but they both were fine. Traced the lack of pressure all the way to the heater block in the neck of the beast. Called Bissell and a really nice rep kindly told me they aren't allowed to sell me that heater block. Something about insurance (blame your neighbors who are all to happy to sue at the drop of a hat -none of us here are that shallow, are we?)

Anyway -one of you told the story of the repair guy taking the heater apart. I never would have thought they made the thing servicable -but sure enough! I removed the heater carefully, marking all of the wire colors and which hose was which, flipped it over to find 7 screws holding a bottom plate. Carefully removed them so as not to damage the silicon seal or the 5 littel o-rings, took a toothbrush and scrubbed the soap goo out of the channels... one of the nozzles was choked closed, but a pipe cleaner and some patience got it looking nearly new. Carefully screwed it back together, tightening evenly -rebuilt the beast and it's cleaning like it hasn't in years. Probably piss off Bissell service shops by telling this, but maybe the handier of you will benefit.

Honest reviews on BISSELL Little Green ProHeat Turbo Carpet Cleaner, 1425B

After doing my research into carpet cleaners, I bought the bissell little green pro heat thinking that it looked like a great product. The heating option sounded great to me, hot water meant cleaner results right? Well, After having it for only one year, I have had to have it REPAIRED THREE TIMES! And after getting to watch the repairman take it apart and fix it he showed me exactly what was wrong with it. There is a metal box that the water passes through to heat it and if you use any soap in the water, the soap gets too hot and gums it up. Whe the repairman opened this box up, it was full of jelly like goo. This clogs up the sprayer, and you get no spray. It has to be taken completly apart to be fixed.It is VERY FRUSTRAITING! This happened three times to me, even after making sure I used only clean, filtered, plain water. The repairman said that he has had to repair several with the same problem. I suggest you buy another brand, or one without the heater. It has only been a source of frustration!

My husband is not the "chore type" so when he came home with this machine and set it up, I assumed he would leave it for me to do the actual work of cleaning up the many spots on our carpet. Imagine my surprise when he spent the next hour on his knees searching out every little stain and spill he could find in our four bedroom house -and attacking it. It truly is satisfying to see those stains disappear (even the oldest ones) with so little effort. For some time, I had been loath to call the carpet cleaners, since all they really do is pitch unwanted services, and, since their last visit, we had owned two dogs in rapid succession. You can imagine. Then there was the miracle it worked on the carpet areas of my minivan that aren't covered by mats. It even got the red drink up. I'm sold!

I just bought this a few days ago because my bedroom has massive windows that are hard to insulate, a cold front just swept in, and I walked to my place on Friday and my bedroom was 62 degrees. My roommates aren't here enough for me to throw money at our thermostat.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

I actually was underwhelmed when I first turned on the unit. Hot air slowly raises from its grate. It doesn't blow out sideways like you'd think. So, the first night, I placed it on the floor and used my laptop at the edge of the bed so the low velocity hot air would actually hit me directly. I was going to take it back the next day.

But after an hour or so, the room warmed up from 64 degrees to 72. When I left my bedroom to get a drink, the frigid air from the rest of my house greeted me as I opened my bedroom door and I ran to the refrigerator to get a water bottle before running back to the warmth of my room. At that point, I realized this product was perfectly fine, I just expected something that was more direct.

WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS FOR:

This product is something you turn on in an enclosed room to gradually heat it. That it has a thermostat setting indicates this, as it will turn off when the room reaches a certain temperature (you can set it 65 to 80 degrees or just "Always On").

This is *not* something you turn on and sit in front of when you're cold. For this purpose, you might want a radiant heater or a ceramic/fan heater that shoots the air out with more of a velocity. This product lets the hot air ooze out of it because it heats the room through convection.

I actually give it 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 because it doesn't do a good job explaining its purpose on the box. The 180/360 degree marketing stuff is just misleading and the feature of being able to close half of the grate is just a gimmick since this product is terrible if you buy it as something to place next to your rocking chair.

PROS:

Super light. Move it from room to room. Take it to the bathroom with you. Take it to your girlfriend's house. No big deal. Try doing that with a heavy portable oil-filled radiator.

Looks great. Just a black minimal tower and I like contemporary aesthetics.

Comes with a remote control which makes sense since this is something you could place in the corner of the room and it still works.

Quiet but definitely audible. I like the breathy low velocity sound of this heater, but if you want 100% quiet, go with a radiator.

Comes with a timer on it (1, 2, 4, 8 hours)

Works.

CONS:

The whole 180/360 grate cover is a gimmick. I just leave half the grate covered as it faces my bed, but it's more of a mental thing since I won't feel the heat until the general temperature of the room rises anyways.

Air slowly rises from it. You can't feel heat with your hand half a foot away from it at grate level. You'd have to move your hand away from the device up at about 45 degrees to follow the heat. This isn't really a con since this device isn't a spot/fan-forced heater, but I'm trying to make this point clear.

This heater works great! My bedroom is 13x11 and our furnace broke this last winter (Detroit, Michigan area) so it got pretty cold, and this heater worked very well. Needed one with a remote if I got hot at night so I would not have to get up and mess with anything, just one click on the remote and it would be off. Kept me very warm on many 10° to 20° nights here in Michigan. I would buy it again. Just as a tip, the heat that comes out of it comes out at a 45 degree angle upward, not like straight out. Meaning, you should probably set the heater on top of the box it came in to elevate it and get better heat spread like I did. (Just a personal note, I do not use the "360 mode" I don't think it works as well, but the "180 mode" works flawlessly!)

The remote lets your turn it on, off, fan on high or low, and set the temp. Infra Red remote so you can point it in the general direction and it will work. (Expectantly at night, half asleep!)

I purchased this space heater thinking it would be a quality product since it is made by Honeywell. I could not have more wrong!! I am on my third unit and it is going back.

The first one wouldn't shut off when it reached the set temperature.

The second one clicked and clicked, made the lights flicker and seemed very unsafe. Used it twice.

The third one worked for a wee bit but then it started in like the others. It clicks and shuts itself off even when in the full on setting, or before the time selected is up, as soon as 5 minutes after turning it on.

When it did work it did a nice job of heating my 14x14 room. It can't handle a room larger than that though.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and buy some other heater. This one is horrible!!! I only gave it one star because I had to fill in one.

In all fairness I have to say this product still works as a heater, but it is overpriced and is really annoying to use. I would suggest you get the $20 Lasko ceramic heater which works much better and gives the same heat.

First of all the $60 price really doesn't give you much more feature than my $20 Lasko heater. If anything, this honeywell is just bigger, takes more space but doesn't give more heat (it has the same wattage: 900W and 1500W).

However the most annoying thing about the Honeywell heater is the digital control. It defaults to Hi heat and in order to change it to low you have to press the button 5 times, that's because they combined the Hi/Low settings with the thermostat settings. So the state goes from Hi, 65, 70, 75, 80, Low. I like the Low heat and I turn this thing on and off often, so it's really annoying that every time I want to use it have to push the power button, and then press the temperature settings 5 times just to get the Low heat settings. That's 6 times pushing the button! My lasko heater can do this with just one switch.

While I am not specifically reviewing this mattress I want buyers of Strobel products to know they do not honor their warranty. I purchased a latex foam mattress manufactured by Strobel a few years ago and it has sagged to the point of being uncomfortable and very unsightly. The sagging even shows when I have my down filled duvet on top of the mattress. The mattress has a non-prorated warranty on it as quoted from their website, "Accordingly we offer 5-year non-prorated/20 prorated warranty on Supple-Forma mattresses, and 10-year non-prorated/30 prorated warranty on Supple-Pedic 3000, 4500, and 6000 models." I have contacted Strobel twice and have not had any type of response from them. I highly recommend refraining from purchasing any of their products due to their lack of response in standing behind not only their products, but their promise also.

I am very happy with the finished product. It looks a little better in real life than in the pics--looks more expensive than it was, especially considering that it is one of the least expensive offerings of this type of product on Amazon. Has a few glitches though. The one horizontal bar across the front that helps to frame the fireplace was too long, and I spent some time with a couple of sheets of sandpaper to get it to fit. Also, it is supposed to be a media center as well as a fireplace/heater. However, the instructions make it very clear that the heater insert needs to be on a dedicated circuit. Therefore, you need to have an electrician put in a outlet just for the fireplace, so that you can use your other outlet for your electronic media. It really does heat well, though, so for me that will be worth the expense. Make sure to measure your space, since this piece is bigger than it looks.

I bought one of these last year and am so satisfied with its performance that I just purchased a second. We had a warm winter on Long Island last year and I was able to rely on the Comfort Furnace almost completely to heat my large apartment. I kept it downstairs in the living room, so the bedrooms upstairs stayed a bit cool. It doesn't look like we are going to have such a mild winter again, so I purchased the second for the upstairs.

I read somewhere that the heater only costs about a $1.20 per day to run and I would say that is approximately accurate based on last winter's electric bills. It has to be cheaper than burning fuel oil at $4.00 a gallon!

This 1500 Watt heater works very well for me I use one downstairs of a 2500 Sq ft. home and it is perfect for supplemental heat. Hardly ever need the Gas furnace. Electric bills hardly ever go over $150.00 a month. Normally about $125 in the winter. Great product,I just purchased my 3rd one for my business. I think they are as good as the other namebrand Edenpure. And paid about 100.00 less for the same Quartz technology for a 1500 Watt unit.
