This is a nice water heater. At first I bought the similar Z-brand VE energy saving unit. Its problems were a AC cord that would constantly fall off and the built-in computer would error-fail every time the unit reached programmed temp; this would require a "reboot" to get it to respond again! The TIGER costs more by a few bucks and holds slightly less water. But it is NICE: The steam rarely flies out of the vents, there is so very little of it to waste heat. The computer is responsive and trouble-free. There is no need to "reboot" the bottle because it reheats only as needed and can discontinue heating to drop a few degrees, to save power. The power savings will add up greatly. I had several "Secura" heaters that were cheap in both price and quality. My Secura units, using distilled water, failed in 1-month, 14 months, and 15 months. The Tiger should outlast those units because the bottom is better insulated. That saves energy and prevents the heat from constantly abusing the electronic control module that sits beneath the water bottle in these water heater/dispensers. One note: the water can be pushed out in two ways: there are a pair of buttons on top, one to enable dispensing, and one to actually dispense; this is fairly standard. Then there is a lockable air-pump control so you can push out water manually if you are disconnected from AC power. Some high priced Z-brand water bottles lack the air pump button, so if you lose power, or take your bottle someplace, you cannot dispense!

2 ft. Strip Heater for Bending Plastics Reviews

2 ft. Strip Heater for Bending Plastics
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This thing is quickly becoming one of my favorite tools in the workshop. I would highly suggest it to anyone that wants to get working with bending acrylic sheets. The unit casing stays relatively cool to the touch. I use a piece of cement board as insulation between the heater and my workbench.

One word of caution. The heating element get hotter over time till it reaches max temperature (~800 degrees). Depending on what you are bending (width of acrylic) I would make sure that you are considering how long the heater has been on. Depending on the duration that the heater has been on it may take less time for the same thickness plastic to become bendable (and eventually too hot/bubble). You can also invest in a controller unit that will maintain a consistent heating element temperature (next item on my tool wish list).

This worked great. You do need to control the heat some how, I time how long it is been on and watch how soft the plastic is getting. The next thing will probably be a controller for the heater.

This Fireplace did not come with a remote control and the description said that it did. Unfortunately, that was a feature that I specifically wanted and I may have purchased another fireplace that I was considering that did have that feature instead of this one had I known this ahead of time. Other than that misrepresenation in the description, the fireplace does works great and comfortably heats our sun room which is a 13 X 16 room with a cathedral ceiling. We only used it to heat the room for holiday functions so far, but it has done the job quite nicely and everyone thought it looked very nice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It looks okay if you don't stare too hard at it, but the flames look obviously fake if you actually look directly at it while it's doing it's thing. The textured black finish on the MDF board parts looks as if it's meant to resemble cast iron, but it doesn't quite pull it off, it still looks like painted wood. What it does do well is make an acceptable supplemental heater for an average sized living area. There are two heat settings, and an adjustable thermostat. It would make it nicer if it had a crackling fire sound to add to the effect, instead of just a silent fire.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have not had an electric fireplace before. But, I was certainly surprised at the heating uniformity this one produced. I was suspicious that it would heat in one spot, like those small space heaters.

I placed this in the lowest level of my home. I have a Tri-level and the basement level is the coldest. Athough it is not too cold yet, this electric Fireplace threw out some instant heat. The heat soon radiated into the room, and it kept the heat in the room uniform.

I liked the look of the flames and the wood, as it is quite realistic. The flames are high, and consistently producing nice images of fire.

My only concern is that the flames are placed in the back, and I would like the flames to billow out of the "logs" also. So, the logs are lit, and the flames are in the back.

The unit, itself, does not get hot, and there is an auto safety feature. You can operate this with or without the heat. PLUS, you can operate one heating element or both for greater warmth.

I placed the Fireplace on cinderblocks to bring the heat up a little more. It is not heavy, so you can move it where you may need it.

So, the room I have it in is narrow, but long. The heat remained constant and uniform. But what I do not know yet is if this uses more electricity than normal. I will test it out, But, in the meanwhile, it is wonderful!! Works great, looks better! Rizzo

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this product to put in one of my bedrooms.

This unit, unlike the Vienna model, was packed well. There was minimal/no assembly required. Mine did come with a remote control but I noted that other reviewers commented on not receiving one. I think there is a quality control issue with this company that needs to be addressed.

This fireplace is a bit smaller than I envisioned but it looks nice although perhaps a bit dated. I wish it had a wood top surface but from a distance it looks OK. The flames look like what you would expect from an electric fireplace. It makes the room feel cozy. There are two switches for heat settings, both 750 watts and one setting for visual effect only.

I can't comment (yet) on the heating efficiency but aesthetically the flames/fire look good. Like I said, the unit itself isn't very modern but it feels at home in the room where we put it. Overall I'd recommend this item but I would caution buyers on potential quality control issues like bad packing and missing parts.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice sturdy fireplace that is attractive, easy to use and it has worked great. The "flame" is about as realistic as any other electric fireplaces, and is strangely mesmerizing. The three pane window provides a better effect than the single flat pane found on most fireplaces. We put this unit in our bedroom which isn't well insulated, the heater has already come in handy on a couple of cold nights.

An excellent, easy to use product that I highly recommend.

I was skeptical if it would work based upon the size. But do not let the size fool you. We use it while camping to take the chill out.

It works even better with the fan on. I purchased the Mr Heater hose which allows a direct hookup to a 20lb bottle without a filter.

We purchased this item during the aftermath of the Hurricane It does work fairly well but there is a definite odor of propane if used on medium or high setting. Propane consumption: I ran the heater on medium for approximately on day it used a 20 pound tank of propane It did make our family room comfy on only the medium setting that is about 200 sf. We did not need to crank it up to high setting. It was a real pleasure after enduring 50 degree temp.

Okay, I've been in your shoes. You are stopping by Amazon to read reviews before heading off to the local grocery super-store. The Oster dehydrator has terrible reviews online, but it happens to be the only model the super-store carries. You are so excited to try dehydrating your summer veggies that you want to chance it. After all, only a dozen people gave it a bad rating, surely they only had bad eggs. If a company is selling a product, surely it went through testing!

Stop right there. Don't do it. Learn from my mistake and save yourself time, energy, and hard earned cash.

Upon arriving home from the super-store, I excitedly took my new dehydrating friend out of its box. This next part is my faultI should have tested the unit before slicing my veggies, but I did not. I happily arranged my zucchini on the trays, set the machine on the counter, and plugged it in. The light turned on, but everything was oddly quiet. Just like in the reviews online, the fan did not operate. Undeterred, I called Oster customer service. The helpful representative told me that the fan makes a "very noticeable" noise when functioning. The silence meant nothing at all was happening. She advised that I return it to the store.

Next, I cleaned and repackaged the product. Thankfully I still had my receipt and made my return. The next day, I went to another store and picked up a different brandNesco. The Nesco was similar in price, but had more features. It has an adjustable temperature and the heating unit is on top, making it easier to maintain and clean. The Nesco is quiet and efficient. Most importantly, it works.

Walk away from the Oster. Trust the reviewers online and buy another model. I wasted was lured in by false hopes and advertising, but it's not too late to save yourself.

If you are looking for a dehydrator to use just a couple time a year, then this one would be great. It is cheap and it gets the job done. I, personally, should have spent the extra $20 to get a Nesco. This one is VERY LOUD when running. Also, the slots in the trays are quite large. So far most every thing I have chopped up has fallen through the trays while drying. This dehydrator has no temperature control either; depending on your goals, this may or may not matter.

I love this dehydrator; we actually bought two of them to keep up with the demand for crispy apple chips. Today the oldest one (was Christmas gift) started shutting off by itself, that is the fan stopped running. The older one which is a couple weeks old started last week to shut off. My husband returned it and got a replacement. I set it up this morning and the fan shut off within and hour after I started it. I have seen one other query regarding the fans shutting off. I would consider this a perfect appliance for the money if only I could find out how to fix the fan issue.

We tried using different electrical outlets but it didn't make any difference.

Honest reviews on Oster FPSTDH0101 4-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator, White

I bought this dehydrator because I wanted to bring jerky with me for a high protein, on-the-go snack at work and other places. I'm not sure why so many people are having as many problems with this machine as they are. Maybe there are a lot of "lemons" in the bunch, but I have had no problems with mine. Maybe I'm one of the lucky few, or maybe people are doing something wrong which causes the machine to fail. I've only used it for batches of jerky, but that's all I wanted it for. Many people have said that it stops and starts up again after a while, but I would guess they have overfilled the trays and the machine is possible heating up too much so shutting down for a while is a safety mechanism. Mine just goes, but I leave quite a bit of room between pieces of jerky so that there is plenty of room for the air to circulate. I have not had it stop once during drying. If you follow the directions it is fairly clear that you need to leave space between pieces. I have not done more than about 2 1/2 lbs of meat at a time so that there is plenty of space for circulation. That seems to be a good amount, and it gives me plenty of jerky for a while. I think you've gotta realize what you are getting before you start griping about the machine. This is an entry level, cheap dehydrator at best that you can get at Wal-Mart. If you are expecting top of the line quality and features, you're kidding yourself. If you want all the bells and whistles, you're gonna pay a lot more for them. It would be nice if it had a timer to turn it off automatically, but again, you get what you pay for and I chose to get a cheaper dehydrator that does not have that option, and really it has not been amuch of an issue. Size-wise, it's about 14 inches across and about 10 inches tall so not that big, and it's not as if I leave it on the counter when it's not in use. I've read a lot of reviews of people complaining about it sounding like a "jet engine". If you think it sounds like a jet engine, I would suggest you've never heard a jet engine. Mine sounds like a fan, a little louder than a regular desk fan but quieter than a floor box fan. That's what it is basically, a fan with a heating mechanism and some trays. I can easily tune it out and so can my wife. Sound has not been an issue for us. All in all, if what you're looking for is a simple to use dehydrator that has no bells and whistles and is cheap, this may be the one for you. Follow the included instructions, and I would guess you'll be fine. Like I mentioned before, maybe there are some bad ones out there, but I have had no problems with mine.

Just bought one of these last week. Dehydrated a batch for less than 3 hours. Went to use it again this week, turned it on and went to working on other things. Walked by it a few minutes later and noticed the fan had stopped running. The light was still on indicating it was getting power, but no fan. Disappointing and expensive for one use and not worth the hassle.

I attended a small community meeting in a neighbors 1830 town house where there was a charming fire in the fireplace. At the end of the 2 hour meeting I complimented the hosts on what a perfect fire. they'd made. They burst into laughter & said, "Come, look closely."

That's when I realized for the first time that the fire was artificial. I had been convinced the log fire was real.

The next day those neighbors surprised me with a gift of my first Classic Flame Insert for my 1840 house, nearby, in which there were 7 fireplaces. It was an instant hit & used nightly, just for the charm of it.

Incidentally, some months later my insurance company informed me that they would no longer cover damages resulting from the use of real fires, unless I had the fireplaces & flues lined with stainless steel. A quick check revealed it would cost over $5,000 per fireplace to do that. What about my rental apartments & the tenants fireplaces?

I explained the situation, that real fires would be banned, at the signing of the lease renewals, and I would offer & instal a Classic Flame Insert at no charge. I proudly demonstrated my own.

The proposal was a hit. All the fireplaces now have Classic Flame Inserts, the cost of relining the flues was eliminated, so was the cost of firewood, and the storage space it required, air pollution from the smoke was eliminated as was the messy chore of cleaning up the ash from a real fire. Plus, my insurance company was happy.

As a bonus the Inserts also make adjustable heat if you wish. They are especially convincing when seen behind the classic fire screens found on most fireplaces. The effect is magical.

PS When Santa came the next Christmas we just gave him a key to the front door.

Let me explain what I think about this unit. I have 3500 square feet house in Central Florida and top of the line heat pump Central Air just installed a few years ago. All works perfect except one thing: I have to cool the entire house with it and at 4500 Watts in case of power down my diesel generator at 6500 Watts is just about running it when 1100 Watts refrigerator and lights are on at the same time. Another thing is Central Air conditioner will get you over 250 bucks electric bill during summer and this is when thermostat is set to only 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I ordered this unit thinking it is going to be so-so portable that can subsidize cooling now and then. The unit came in UPS, it is about 84 lbs, has wheels, is very quiet, does wonders drying the air, very nice quality built and components, remote, digital thermostat, can be converted to auto drain with just additional hose if you really must, runs on 1100 Watts, and is pleasant to look at. At 9000 BTU it is very nice gizmo indeed no vibrations, smooth working and very well made. That very same day I received it and run it for entire day, I ordered another one just like it. I hope that explains how good and useful this thing is. Get one if you need one and you will be happy you did. BTW, packaging for shipping was absolutely exemplary this thing would have to be dropped from 2nd floor on concrete to get damaged in all that styrofoam and cartons. I am very happy with this purchase. Remote is also quite handy when you use it in the bedroom at night. Water tank that had to be emptied is actually good thing, because no worries about over flooding the unit, and you can distilled water for ironing or car battery if you ever need that. The conversion adapter for continues water drain is included if you need that. I am somehow puzzled with negative review posted under Alesia, because I went to this individual's "see my other reviews" and there were like a HUNDRED of portable units, all with the SAME REVIEW and all purchased on the SAME DAY. That is very strange indeed. It is either mistake or overdose. Anyway, I think this unit is working well and it is worth the money. I use it already for over a month and it is better then ever.

We received a SPT WA-9000E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner on 6/11/10. There was an odd odor the first couple of times that we turned it on a plastic smell would be the best way to describe it. After about a week, my husband called (909) 468-5288 and left a message (no one returned the call). Later that day he called (800)330-0388 and spoke with a women who told him that as long as it was blowing cold air there was not a freon leak. She mentioned that the smell may be attributed to the styrofoam packing inside the machine. We just assumed that it smelled odd because it was new. We used it four or five times for maybe 3 hours each time. Well today is 7/6/10 and it hit 100 degrees outside; there is no longer any smell BUT THERE IS NO LONGER ANY COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE MACHINE. I have sent an email to Sunpentown through the Amazon site. I want everything in writing with regard to how to get this 80lb piece of crap back to them. The financial burden should not be mine after having this item for only 25 days. I will update with their response.

Update: July 7, 2010 Customer Service has been very nice. An exchange is in the process . . .

Update: July 13, 2010 Semi-disaster. We received the replacement today but the coolant leaked all over it. I called customer service and was told UPS must have dropped the box. He told me to put it back in the box and UPS would pick it up tomorrow since it was damaged, and ANOTHER replacement would be sent out today. A return label was sent with the replacement in order to exchange the first air conditioner. I was supposed to take that one to UPS myself and use the box from today's delivery, but today's delivery is going back. We just want to be done with it. I called back to request a refund rather than take a chance with AC #3. Fortunately, UPS will pick up AC #1 the same time that they pick up AC #2. I was on the phone with sunpentown several times today and they were nice and patient, but this is such a hassle. At least I found another box big enough to send back AC #1. Free Super Saver shipping was not offered when I purchased this item, so I hope my shipping charges are refunded as well. (I don't have the heart to call back to ask since I have tormented the poor representative enough today.) To be continued . . .

Update: July 14, 2010 UPS did not show up. The short version of the saga: Stayed home to wait for UPS man but found out late in the day (after numerous cranky calls to both Sunpentown and UPS) a "damage inspection" needed to be scheduled, before a pick-up could be scheduled. Sunpentown rectified situation by scheduling a pick-up for Friday (7/16/10) and UPS will inspect the damaged item (AC#2) on their own site. Unfortunately, they cannot pick up AC#1 with AC#2 (different circumstances, hence different trucks and drivers). So I am lugging AC #1 to a UPS site tomorrow. I want these God forsaken machines out of my house!

Update: July 28, 2010 Both machines were returned and received by Sunpentown on July 21, 2010 (verified by UPS tracking #s). I just sent them an email inquiry through this Amazon site about my reimbursement.

Update: July 30, 2010 No response to email; I just sent another.

Update: August 1, 2010 Full refund received.

We purchased this unit to help cool the 3rd floor of our townhouse which has been over 82 when the house AC is set to 77. (Temps have been in the high 90s here in Northern Virginia). The unit is fairly quiet given the size. It has carrying handles on the side that made it easy to lug up our 3 flights of stairs. The unit must be vented to the outside to release the heat. The hose was of moderate length and the adapter piece for the window was adequate. We had to cut it to fit our window. We also had to make a trip to Home Depot to purchase insulating foam and tape to help hold it in place and plug the air leaks. We have the unit in a small bedroom and it blows cool air into the hallway, a distance of about 7 feet. As far as water accumulating in the unit, we haven't had much. In our house it's about half full after running it for an entire day. This may change when the humidity comes back. I am very happy we purchased this unit. We have been running it for 5 days and so far I would recommend it.

Honest reviews on SPT Portable Air Conditioner, 9000 BTUs, WA-9000E

I received this product via UPS heavy load. I set this thing up, in hopes, of a portable A/C for our kitchen...not good. One, it is way to big and bulky for any room. Two, the exhaust hose, that you are required to use, cannot be flexed in any way. In other words, the unit has to be at least 4-5 ft away from a window and sit in the middle of a room. The window attachment could not be set up in our wndow, if used, I had to hacksaw it to make it fit. I decided that it would not work for me. I then had to pay UPS to send it back, to the tune of 150.00! So, this is a product that cost more than 1/2 its price to return...so you better be sure its right for you..

The unit does not cool as much as I expected. A 5,000 BTU window unit did much better and much quicker. It is the ducting kit that keeps it from cooling very well. That hose puts off a tremendous amount of heat. I saw one persons review and they had to actaully try and keep the duct hose cool?! I know it should get warm, but this one gets hot!

The ducting kit for this is flimsy and does not install very well. Mine actually has a problem with one end of the ducting kit. So I contacted them via e mail on their website, three times, not once did I hear back from them, not once. How does a company literally just ignore customer requests?! I was not asking for a new unit, i was asking for help with the ducting kit or at the very least a new ducting kit. Nothing, no response from them.

I would not buy anything from that company again, ever.

Knocking off 1 star because it only has 1 exhaust path (so it pumps the "inside air" outside as it runs). Some find that "more aesthetic", but I find that it causes drafts around the edges of the sunroom that are the outside temp.

But other than that, it seems to be rock solid, even after twising it around so we could install it in an electric VW Cabriolet!

Draws 10A @ 120V, so it's easily powered, and it does a good job at protecting itself (it won't let the compressor cycle on/off faster than 5 minutes -so if you flip from Cool to Heat, expect some delays). Bonus that the water runs from the Evaporator to the Condenser; this improves is performance mesurably.

The LED displays flicker, but meh... they work, and the unit brings 90F air down to 70F, so it'll do nicely for blowing cool or hot air (60F-> 110F)at you. I wouldn't count on it for a house, but for a cool breeze in a sunroom, it fits the bill nicely.

Pressed logs work great with this stove making burn times longer thru the night. Depending on wood used and temps outside, it may be necessary to stoke during the overnite hours. This is our main source of heat and it does the job.

Pros: cost

fire view

easy to use

works well (very hot)

4-6 hrs burn time depending on wood

Cons: No ash clean out tray

dirty

door needs tightening often

small fire box

We plan to install a wood cook stove in a year or two to replace this. We will move this stove to our lower level.

So after a long wait we finally got our wood stove. All the weld seams are half ass, the distance that the instruction want this stove is also ridicules33" from any wall? Pretty disappointed all in all.

I bought this heater to go under my desk at work. While the turn knob is simple and is suppose to allow various settings, I have not had the experience of enjoying any settings. The heater shuts off within a minute. It doesn't matter what temperature I set it at. It will not go back on unless I unplug the heater and let it sit for 5 min. I think my co-workers have seen me under my desk fidgeting with the heater more than actually up at my desk doing work. I will definitely be returning it.

Loud and not adjustable -it is either full on or off. I got mine for $10 and it's not worth that.

Best Deals on Honeywell Quick Heat Ceramic Heater #HZ-325

Bought this unit last week to put next to my desk at work, but I haven't been completely happy with it.

The heater turns on and heats up instantly, but it is more like an open oven door than a space heater. The heat is there, but the fan in the unit doesn't have much blowing power... so you end up with heat for 1 or 2 feet in front of the unit but not 4 or 5 feet in front of the unit. I had it under my desk today and couldn't figure out where the heat was going... it sure wasn't circulating around anywhere.

The unit does put off a lot of heat... unfortunately I couldn't find a happy medium between cooked ankles and cold ankles.

I like the simple temp knob on top, but I end up leaning over to turn it up and down all day as I get cold and hot.

If I were shopping again I would get a unit with more than one level of heat, more than one fan speed, and an on/off switch so I don't have to unplug it every day.

Stay warm!

Honest reviews on Honeywell Quick Heat Ceramic Heater #HZ-325

i am a person that listens to reviews very frequently when buying online, unfortunatly i had the misfortune to buy this is the store and go along with advertising!

i also use heaters a lot! not that i go through them, but i have one in each room i frequent! i hate hate hate hate the cold! i can't stand it!

this is a deplorable product!

-the product is loud, so loud it distracts you from what ever you are doing! work, writing, reading, talking, peace and quite, or hanging out! so quite, just a loud repeated deep whirring noise that goes on forever!

-the heater might as well have one setting of heat! no difference and no change! want it a little cooler? WELL TOO BAD! sorry no can do!

-in reference to the last point, the timer for the heater goes off in what feels like an instant! there you are with the heater at a slightly unreasonable distance so you can feel the heat, but no burn your self, and it just turns it self off! then it takes an extraordinary amount of time to turn itself back on! so you are freezing your butt of waiting for it to heat up again! might as well not have a heater!

-the little trey/base it is on lets you adjust its aim to face higher, which would be nice if you were a super small being! it raises the heater about half an inch, which makes no difference! so there i am in the kitchen (i have the heater just outside of the kitchen door, but i stand near it) with my legs on fire and top half from the thigh up freezing cold! what is the point?

-oh and i know they tell you this, but i am just saying it because i had a close call! watch out or it will burn you!

thank you for listening, hope i helped!
