Black & Decker BDHF200 Heater Fan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I really loved the heater, it was safe around the pets. I was sitting in the room and smelled something burning, picked up the unit and everything looked fine. 20 minutes later the unit shut off. When I unplugged the unit, the plug had melted. From the way that it had melted, it was clear that something was wrong with the plug. I liked the product, but this made me worry. I don't know if I will replace it with the same thing.

So I used to love this heater. It served me well for a little under a year. But just tonight as I was trying to turn it on the plug had a tiny explosion and the reset button melted. I have no idea what caused it but I found it very unnerving. Now looking for a replacement. Not sure if I will replace it with the same model.

I bought one of these Units . The Heater works great, but the service sucks. The fan went out of warranty and they said that

they do not have replacement parts or a manual. I then purchased another Unit. This Unit also had a fan that went shortly after

the warranty was over. I ended up putting a small house fan behind the unit. This worked but not as good, and obviously would not

come on and off as the heater recycled. Get a unit that is serviceable for the money you pay. Will never buy a Dayton again

After lots of reviews and going to my local hardware stores I went with this heater. I'm using it for my detached two car garage. The garage is a couple hundred square feet larger than the recommended size for this heater but it is very well insulated and constructed. So I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be able to maintain the temp or run constantly. WRONG! This little guy is amazing. It keeps the garage at whatever temp I desire and does it without overworking it. It does look a bit commercial but it is being used in a garage. My garage was already wired with a socket for 220 but the plug on this unit was a little different. My local HD store had the right receptacle and it was easily switched out.

This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?). Note: In the picture, the heater appears to be cream colored; it is actually white.

Best Deals on Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

Didn't use it much until recently, too late to return. Has NO tip over switch as advertised and I have cats that occasionally take great joy in tipping things over, purchased this because of the switch. It does kick out the heat, and this one is not too noisy, it rotates fine, but now the cord it getting warm, not the plug into the wall but the cord which makes me nervous to leave it on at all if I'm not right there. Would not buy this one again. At work they have a older 3yr old model and it works great that's why I picked this brand.

325 Watt Calesco Waterbed Heater For California King, Queen & Super Reviews

Waterbed heater reliability is important, because when a heater fails, you have to drain the water to replace the heater. I had exactly that experience, and bought this unit as a replacement. This heater seems to be a high quality device, and I am pleased so far. It appears to be made in Sweden.

Buy InSinkErator H990W-SS Invite Hot Water Dispenser, White

Customer Ratings:

I manage a few single-family properties and used Insinkerators on some of the units since the early 1980s. The early units had stainless tanks and will last anywhere from 5 to 8 years pretty good. The later units went cheap, using plastic tanks and usually crack within 2 years not that good. This unit in review has the SST tank, suppose to be stainless steal tank again for reliability. However I found it only lasted under 2 years, failing to dispense any hot or even warm water. The units I use within the last 10 years only lasted around 2 years on average. Many times it turn out to be a blown fuse, a few times between a bad tank or worn out on mechanical dispensing faucet parts. To save the fuse, don't turn up the temperature on the tank to maximum. I throw in a budget to replace it every 3 years, as it's not cost effective to call in service after the warranty period. Reliability experience on my own home use is about 2 years as well. I don't have enough hot dispensing units installed to have it statistically reliable, this is just my own experience.

Very nice when it works, could have been more reliable.

This is my fourth ISE Hot Water Dispenser. The first three lasted anywhere from 2 4 years each, before the tanks started leaking and the units had to be replaced. In addition to the tank problem the first two units had failures with an internal thermal switch. It's about a $15 part that was fairly easy to replace if you are somewhat handy with tools and are not afraid of working with electrical components. On my third unit, the hot water tank was redesigned to include a different type thermal switch that was re-settable, like a circuit breaker. That successfully eliminated the thermal switch problem. It seems that the design of the tank for this appliance is continuously evolving. My first unit had a copper tank, the next two had plastic tanks, which I hated, and now this one has a larger (2/3 gallon) stainless steel tank. Seems like a move in the right direction. Installation was easy. I've set the external thermostat (a nice addition) to 190 degrees and it heats the water to that temperature without any spatter. I've verified the water temperature with a digital thermometer. On the previous units I would get spatter at 180 degrees. Since I've only had this unit for a month, I can't predict if it's going to be more reliable then the previous collection I had, but so far it has performed flawlessly. I would like to add that even with the problems that I have experienced with the ISE hot water dispensers, for me it is a very useful appliance, and one that I do not hesitate replacing when it gets to a point where repair is simply not an option.

Honest reviews on InSinkErator H990W-SS Invite Hot Water Dispenser, White

This is a replacement for an older model H990 unit that was dying after 10 years of use. The upper portion of the unit is identical, but the undersink heater unit appears to be made of plastic, not metal, like the previous model (which had a copper tank enclosed in styrofoam enclosed in sheet metal). Notably, the other unit ran silent but this model--which you think would be an improvement--makes a very noticeable "roaring" sound when heating the water, audible over a low TV or conversation even from under the sink. Also, the water out of the tap is about 30 degrees cooler (170 vs. 200) at the "factory preset" thermostat setting. Product description on Amazon is confusing and contradictory: is it a 1 yr or 3 yr warranty? 120 or 115 volts? 2/3 gallon or 1/2 gallon tank? It gets the job done, but it's the little things like this that give the impression of diminishing quality from the InSinkErator brand, and at this price point you expect more.

I needed to replace a previous InSinkErator H990 instant hot water dispenser installed in our kitchen sink. I was not pleased that the prior model had failed in about three years time but decided to replace it with the newer model from InSinkErator. I was impressed with the design change that replaced a formerly plastic heating tank with a much more durable stainless steel tank. Also, I liked being able to keep the old faucet component and still hook up the new tank. The backward compatibility was a nice touch and can save installation time. I also like the new temperature setting large knob which replaced the old metal cover hiding the temperature adjustment.

Don't set the temperature too high or there is a lot of spitting and girgling at the end of each heating cycle.

The installation had no surprises and I was delighted enough to buy the same unit for my daughter and her husband and installed it over Thanksgiving holiday up in Boise. The unit is ideal for making single cups of tea or getting a head start on boiling water on the stove. The new larger tank 1/2 gallon vs. 1/3 allows more cups to be drawn in a short period of time.

This is the one for anything except rotisserre.

It has a series of adjustable vents accros the front and the back, and a circular adjustable vent on top. This allows for very precise air-flow contol.

The grill adjusts to 3 levels, four if you're inventive. After a couple of uses it's virtually air-tight with all vents closed, so you can cool down an aggressive fire in a heartbeat.

I give it 4 stars reserving the 5th for it's Meco cousins which are of the same funtional design, but more pricey due to retractable wooden tables on one or both sides and a wooden shelf down below. But they are all superb as grilling machines.

Enjoy!

Reviews of Sharp CV2P10SX 10,500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner With Automatic

Customer Ratings:

After enduring five hot summers in my new place, I finally decided to get a portable room air conditioner to help beat the heat.

After a little bit of searching, I settled upon this Sharp unit. I liked its clean styling and the easy installation diagrams it featured on the outside of the box. The $50 instant rebate offered at the time also helped -a lot.

The unit comes with various panels to aid in the outside venting installation. The 5" diameter flexible hose seemed kind of g-normous coming out of the box. But its semi-rigid construction has a built in screw-like segmentation which makes it easy to hand twist the hose into the a) the unit itself and b) into the window adapter no tools required. How cool is that?

It took me about 20 minutes to install the window adapter and frame into my outside window (with just a bit of drilling and screwing).

But when I turned the unit on I couldn't believe 1) how quiet the unit was and 2) how really cold the air was coming out of it. Halleluiah!

My two cats watched curiously as I set the unit up. But they both managed to find favorite spots downwind which have now become their preferred nesting places during the day. Who says cats are dumb?

The a/c vents on the front seemed small at first. But they open automatically (to help keep the unit clean) and their limited size actually helps to increase the speed of the air flow for greater projection.

I've closed the doors to all of my other rooms to confine the cool air to the kitchen/dining room and living room. I have no idea how close this area comes to the suggested 400 square foot maximum. My place has built-in air-conditioning, but I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can do without it for the entire summer.

After living with a myriad of room fans and even an indoor dehumidifier (which was a lot louder and vented its own heat out of the back) I can already tell this is shaping up to be the most comfortable summer I've yet to experience.

The Sharp portable a/c comes with a hand remote which is used to control the settings. There is only a power switch and some indicator lights on the unit itself. I use the automatic control to set a desired temperature and the unit does the rest. Also, when the programmed temperature is reached the unit goes to a reduced output mode with a bit of cool air still coming out. Nice.

But even when the unit is running it is still a lot quieter than my numerous tower fans and my old room dehumidifier. It's also much, much quieter than my dishwasher. And almost as quiet as my refrigerator when it's going.

I also went outside to see how much air flow was coming out and it was surprisingly quite a lot. And the exhaust temperature was fairly warm which indicated to me how much of a heat transfer was actually taking place. Nice.

Since I use my dining table as my desk when I work at home having the Sharp portable a/c just yards away makes me as cool as I've always wanted to be year `round.

Will my overall energy bill go down by having this new Sharp portable a/c unit? I can't see why not since I'm not cooling my entire place. However, only time will tell.

For now I couldn't be happier or more comfortable. I think it's shaping up to be a really cool summer. If you can afford the up-front cost it's worth it. Please, don't miss out.

Have you ever purchased something that turned out to be even better than you expected? Of course. Well that's the feeling I have with this quiet and powerful little dynamo. First, rather than repeat the exceptional lead review by Aaryanna, one which echoes my sentiments to a tee, I will add to her exposition by explaining the title of my review. PlasmaClusters! Who knew? Aaryanna had so much to say about the A/C's features she was too tired to talk about the ions. All I wanted was a sturdy and reliable portable A/C for my bedroom. I live in the San Fernando Valley of So. California and right about June 20th to July 1st when the temperature hits 95F for the first time, the daytime temps will seldom dip below 88 again until about, um I don't know, Labor Day. Night temps will mostly stay above 80F and can average 85F for a week at a time. I have a one bedroom apartment with the unit's own built-in wall air-conditioner in the living room only. Last year on the hottest nights I'd set up a three fan series starting at the air-conditioner with a second fan midway to my back bedroom and the final fan around the small corner leading into the bedroom itself. As you might imagine, this jury-rigged little setup was not only inefficient, but required me to run the wall A/C at full blast all night to get even four or five degrees of relief. Not cheap! You can imagine from Aaryanna's review, this A/C marvel is just what the doctor ordered. Now I wonder what took me so long.

What I didn't expect was the patented Sharp Ion Generator. What kind of of little doodad could this be? Fries with that double cheeseburger sir? Just Google Plasmaclusters, wow! This is no gimmick, hence the patent! There are pretty expensive Sharp Ion Generator units sold all over the world that do only one thing and very well at that. They scrub your air of harmful microbes, dirt, and pesky viruses in a patented way that has little to do with all of the other ideas you may have had about ion air cleaning machines. Are you ready for this? There is a "REFRESHER" function which when activated will cleanse the odors of any garments you choose to place in front of the unit, including simply placing the unit in front of your closet and de-odorizing your entire wardrobe. I won't bore you with particulars, that's what Google is for. Check it out.

So, I've got a great air conditioner, a great dehumidifier, a great room air venter, and a first class sleep mode no louder than a good frig. But who knew it was going to be one of the healthiest things I've ever had? I would have paid the same money for the A/C qualities alone. It's as if they threw in the Ion Generator out of their concern for my health! Who knew???

I used the 2 reviews that were already here to help me buy this product. I was not disappointed. The Midwest is in the middle of a heat wave. I installed this unit around 6 PM and our berdroom cooled down enough to sleep well that night. The next night was even better, as we leave the unit on. We have a second floor bedroom that is above our garage, so there is heat coming from everywhere. We were freezing out the rest of the house using the central A/C, but now have turned that up to 80 degrees, and use this unit in the bedroom.

The unit is very quiet at night. We put the fan on low. It provides a very nice "white noise" which covers up the traffic noise very nicely. The unit works so well, we have to burrow into the covers. Plus the ion generator leaves the room smelling fresh and clean.

Unit is very heavy, so you need to be careful when you get the package. But once it's out of the box, it does have wheels so it does move around easily.

My only complanit is the part that attaches in the window. I had to trim some off the flange, as my window was narrower than the flange, so that weakened it a little. I'm going to build my own and attach the exhaust hose to that as soon as the heat wave is over.

All in all, I highly recomend this unit. We're sleeping better than ever.

******UPDATE 05/05/2013******

I was pretty happy with the price and how effective it is at cooling the room, but the rattling was really getting to me. This was a refurb for 250.00, so I expected that it may not be perfect. So I took the housing apart to find out why is was soooo noisy. Dismantling was actually very easy. After removing the 2 screws at the bottom front, the front cover slides up and I was able to get to most of the problem area's. All it needed was some new foam buffers where the plastics were touching (very cheap fix).

That probably should have happened at the factory when it was refurbed. For that they loose 1 star.

Still, it is a pretty great unit. I hope I don't need to contact customer support. That looked like it was going to be a pain (automated voice system), I gave up...

Original post:

I live northern New Mexico. Summers get into the high 90's for a couple months, it gets to 100 or just above for a few day per year. Our house was built in the late 50's. The AC unit is for the master BR, an old enclosure of a 2 car garage, with old metal casement roll out windows from the 60's.

As far as installation, it might have been easy if I had modern sliding windows, but I don't. The only part of the included window adapters (which seem pretty well made) that I could use, was the vent port. I opted to remove 1 pane of glass (from a six pane window) to fit a piece of plexi glass with a hole cut for the vent port. It worked perfectly. I have the AC unit right under it, with the hose going straight up to it.

There is a good bit of heat generated that goes through the vent hose to the outside which heats the vent hose up considerably. When sitting close to it, you can feel the hose cancelling out some of the coolers effectiveness. I bought a 6 foot duct sleeve at the home depot for around $6.00 to insulate the hose and that made all the difference (it simply slips over the vent hose like a sleeve, duh. Then some tape or zips to hold it). I can't feel any heat from the hose now (Sharp should probably include that with the cooler).

The cooler does definitely cool the room down with NO trouble. The biggest issue that I have with it is that the plastic housing around the unit can rattles A LOT if it is not positioned just so... I have to mess with it for a bit to get it to stop chattering. I now have it propped up in the back with a 1 in piece of wood to keep it quiet. Other than that it works really well.

I wouldn't really consider it portable. It's just a good alternative to construction to add ducting...

I would recommend this AC unit, but I would not pay $500.00. I paid 250.00 for a referb.

Pros:

1. The unit showed up in two days!

2. Easy installation.

3. Cools effectively.

Cons:

1. I live in California and the weather has been quite warm. The unit's water tank fills up in 2-3 hours which automatically turns air conditioner off. To further compound my challenges with the unit, the only means to drain the water tank is wheel the entire unit outside. This is not an easy task due to the size of the unit. I would have expected a removable water tank at a minimum. Even better, would be a drain hose or other means to remove the water from the unit allowing it to run for longer periods of time required to allow this unit to cool the room. All in all, unless I am open to wheeling the unit outside several times a night to drain the water tank, this unit is ineffective for my requirements. The support line, although I received conflicting responses, indicated I can attach a hose to the water tank drain allowing me to drain the water tank either outside or to an indoor drain.

I recently built a master bathroom addition out over a lower roof. I live in the northeast, right by the water. It is a very windy area, and in the winter it blows down hard and cold from the NE & NW. My builder installed this product on the exterior soffit as part of the bath exhaust system. It is probably 25' up to the soffit. The two side damper flaps do not stay shut in windy conditions (I could clearly see the flaps opening and closing from looking at it through our bedroom window). This is due to the fact that this vent protrudes down from the soffit 3 4", and catches the wind. Not only did we have cold air pouring into our new bathroom through the interior bath fan, but the damper on the interior fan was flapping like crazy due to the wind rushing in, causing a racket we could hear with the door closed. We ended up installing a flush mount vent with damper, that works perfectly.

Bottom line is that the side damper flaps do not stay closed in moderate to heavy winds. If you live in a cold windy area, do not buy this product.

One of these came with my house and I'm getting rid of it as soon as I can. While this vent cover can't be buried in snow, (I'm in Ohio) it does little more than keep birds and squirrels out of the bathroom fan exhaust duct.

It won't keep insects out since it has no screen. I had to clean out some old (and empty) wasp nests inside it. The previous homeowner placed a piece of fiberglass screen over the end of the vent duct where it exited the soffit. It was fastened to the plywood soffit by staples and the edges were sealed with caulking. The vent cover was fastened over this screen. This arrangement is ok until the screen clogs with dust, which mine had.

As Chaz points out in "Functional, but exacting install" this vent cover requires careful installation, otherwise the flaps will stick. The vent duct is attached to the soffit with two plastic L-brackets. Each L-bracket is attached to the soffit by one screw and then to the duct by another screw. Not very sturdy.

I cleaned everything up, caulked the gap between the duct and the soffit, installed a new piece of aluminum screen and reinstalled this engineering nightmare. Not my preference, but it'll take care of things until I replace my roof in the next few months and then I'll switch to a through-the-roof vent.

If you're stuck with using the soffit for an exhaust vent, which is not much better than venting directly into the attic, find a better vent cap. Find one that allows you to clamp the duct securely to the vent cap and then screw the vent cap to the soffit. Something like the Lambro 143W Under Eave Vent, 4". At least with this vent cap you can point the exhaust away from your house.

Were adding attic insulation, so had to quickly add 4 fan vents, and chose this model. It has double flapper vents which work ok, and if installed correctly seems to work fine.

There are several things which make this vent a bit trickier to install. First, there is no outlet tube on the back to attach the vent hose to. Instead, the hose exits a hole under the eaves, and this vent simply covers the hole and the bare end of the hose. However, the problem arises if this vent isn't installed EXACTLY centered over the hose, causing the hinge side of the flappers to bind with the hose, and not open or close correctly. Second, there are clamps which are supposed to be used to hold the hose in the hole, but they are somewhat useless, and cause more of the problems with the flaps binding. After trying the clamps on the first vent, I gave up on them and went to simply running a couple screws through the hose and into the plywood. Third, although these vents worked well on plywood soffit, care needs to be taken on aluminum soffit. When mounting to the aluminum, the screws caused the soffit to bow ever so slightly, again causing the flaps to bind. A simple push of a screwdriver to bow the soffit away from the hinge to eliminate contact solved that problem.

Once installed correctly, these vents look nice, and seem to function well. They vent on both sides, so there are 2 flaps to bind, which may be a negative, though may also let more air through. I've installed these on 110 CFM bathroom fans, and the flaps open just over 1/3 of the way when the fans are on. I used 4 inch ducthad 3 inch been used, the hose would have had better clearance to the flaps, but 4 inch seems to be standard. If I were to do the job again, I would look for a vent that has the flange out the back to attach the hose, as that would simplify installation, and prevent flap binding.

Didn't like it much but the price was ok. Ended up not using it at all, but maybe it was me not picking up properly.

These work great, are easy to install. You need to get the moisture from your bath fan out of your house, all you need is a hole for the flex duct to come through the eve. I can't find these local any more, I don't know why the big box stores stopped carrying them.

Review of Conair GS16R Deluxe Hand Held Fabric Steamer

Customer Ratings:

The product itself is great, but that flimsy attachment broke right off for me too. I am so angry that I taking it right back to the store.

I was pleasantly surprised at what a good job this little steamer does for the price. I've used it to remove set-in wrinkles from new clothing and to freshen up items taken out of the closet. I also used it to remove dents in my carpet from furniture. Pretty good product. My only complaint is that it doesn't hold very much water, but I was still able to steam about 3 garments before re-filling. Would recommend it for small jobs.

A great product; I took it with me on a trip to make sure my clothes looked good after being crush-packed on a motorcycle. It did the job beautifully and I highly recommend it to Amazon users. JUST REMEMBER, as at least one reviewer did not, this is NOT an IRON! It's a STEAMER and is meant to be used with the clothing hanging from a hanger!

Works okay (not great but is not ergonomic and heavy leading to wrist fatigue quickly. I got it for $9 on closeout so can't really complain but wouldn't recommend it even at that price.

This is too small to be anything other than a hand steamer for wrinkled clothes when one is traveling. At that, it spits out water when it's heated. It should be advertised with that limit on it. It is much too small to use over straight fabrics like bedspreads, linen, bedskirts, which is why I purchased it. I wish I had not purchased it. Deluxe Fabric Steamer it is not.

Buy Pelonis Heater/Fan

Customer Ratings:

I have central heat, but for whatever reason by the time the air gets to the vents in my room, it's cold and my infant son sleeps in the room with me so I need it warm. The heater I was using (Lasko 6410 Designer Series Oscillating Ceramic Heater) only adjusts the thermostat in 5 degree increments but 70 let the room get to about 65 before it kicked on and heated the room to around 80 if I picked 75, so there was no happy medium.

From all the heaters I've looked at and the ones we have in the house (2 different models of Lasko oscillating ceramic heaters, which are digitally programmable but have annoying beeps, only have 1500w and 900w settings, no fan only setting, and cost almost twice as much), this is the best value. I personally do prefer a ceramic heater (I think they're safer and faster at heating a room), but I gave this one a try even though it's a fan-forced model because Pelonis is supposed to be a good brand and their ceramic heaters are expensive. I figured even if it only lasts a year or two that I will have gotten my money's worth out of it since it was so inexpensive.

This is the only space heater I've found that has a 600 watt energy setting and one of the few that has 3 (600w, 900w, and 1500w). Most only have 2. 1500 or 1200 seems to be the default and the ones that have an "energy saver" setting generally go to 900. The ones I've seen that go lower are over $50. Even though this heater is very compact, it warms up my 300ish square foot room set to a moderate temperature (can't set the thermostat for a specific temp) using the low energy setting.

For under $30 this is what you get with this heater:

-No plasticky new heater smell that needs to air out for 3 hours running on high in the garage or some other out of the way location (One of the Laskos had the smell but the other didn't)

-Cool touch housing -manual says it might get hot and that the air coming out might burn, but I've experienced neither even with basically constant use

-Overheat protection

-Auto shut off if tipped over

-600w low energy setting

-Fan only setting

-Adjustable thermostat

-Very quiet (the Laskos have louder fans)

-Very compact (less than 12" tall and approx. 9"x4" footprint)

-Element heats instantly so no waiting around while cold air is blowing on you

-Very effective at producing steady heat

-1 year warranty

-Carry handle in the back so it can easily be repositioned or moved to other rooms

Things it doesn't do:

-oscillate

-give specific thermostat settings (but I just discovered on mine that putting the thermostat in the middle of the 2nd lowest setting makes it turn on around 68)

Overall, this is a great unit. It does everything I need and I got it for about $26 including shipping. I would definitely purchase it again and I have already recommended it to my friends.

This is a great product. I have 2 Pelonis heaters. This one operates very quietly and has the advantage of using lower wattage settings than other similar heaters. Low operates at 600 watts which is the reason I bought this heater. It also has a thermostat which is nice. It doesn't smell like many ceramic heaters when they heat up. It produces uniform heat and doesn't blow really hard (the fan speed isn't really high).

This fan replaced my old Pelonis fan that finally died after ten years or so. I like that it has three heat settings and an adjustable fan. The internal thermostat will kick it off when it reaches that stage. If it gets knocked off the surface that it's sitting on, it will cut off. It provides the instant direct heat that I wanted. It keeps my home office nice a toasty without me having to warm up the whole house by turning the main thermostat up. I would buy this fan again and again and again.

Honest reviews on Pelonis Heater/Fan

I purchased this portable heater to use in my 18 foot RV. This little unit works great. I can heat the entire RV in about 20 minutes. There is not a numeric temperature setting, but after a few uses you get an idea of where to set the knob to get to your desired temperature. There is also a fan setting that doesn't produce heat but would work to create some air movement in the summer and to act as "white noise". I'm a fairly light sleeper and the fan on this unit isn't loud enough to wake me at night when it kicks on. This little heater is light weight, portable, inexpensive and works like a charm. My biggest worry with a portable heater was the fire risk. I don't use this heater when I'm not around to monitor it. When I turn it off after it's been on all night, the counter top underneath of it isn't even warm to touch. The unit kicks off a good amount of heat but doesn't get too hot for me to pick it up by the built in handle. It operates quietly so I can use it while I'm watching TV or on the phone without difficulty. The cord is a good length to be able to place it a few feet away from other objects to avoid fire risk. Overall, I recommend this item. I purchased it through Amazon with my Prime membership. I bought it on a Wednesday and received it on Friday.

I bought this heater for work because I work in a very cold office. The heater works well enough, but it is noisier than the other reviews suggested. I guess it is quiet enough for the home, but not for a quiet office. It's also not very stable and falls over really easily. I will keep this one, but if I have to buy a space heater again, I probably won't buy this one.
