I like this heater. I have a table top propane heater and this heater puts out 3 times more heat and starts up almost immediately. The only down fault I have with this heater, is it does not look that great. Looks to much like a commercial tool instead of something you would like to see on your patio. Could try and conceal some of the wiring.

This is a great little heater. It puts off good heat directly in front of it, but a lot of heat escapes up. So it works great in my patio that is covered, but fair to ok out in the courtyard. The craftsmanship it self is simple and light weight. I would not say it is delicate, but all the components are light weight and not designed to withstand major abuse. It is easy to use, but would be awesome if it had click starters instead of using a long lighter. I have only used it a handful of times, but I would recommend it so far.

In Michigan, I use this heater during the fall and winter months to blast a bit of heat into a 6X7 bathroom in those wee hours when the temp in the house is btw 66 & 68 degrees. It warms the air rapidly and quickly mitigates the cold chill.

This lightweight heater is easily transported and has an easy hand grip on top. This will be my third winter with it. I use it daily up to 4 hours.

The noise of the unit can get to you if you have it on while reading or relaxing. I have forgotten about it and the unit, coming on at night, has awakened me.

I have also used it to warm a 14X12 space, but there are other units better suited to warm larger spaces that won't dry out the air. Like the Holmes HQH308 or the Delonghi EW750L.

I purchased this unit off season -so I got an extraordinary dealanother reason I like it so much.

I also have the Holmes HFH2986-U Whisper Quiet Power Heater. The thermostat has never worked on the unit -only the continuous HI / LO setting. I don't like this as well. This unit is cumbersome, fat and not easy to grip to pick up and transport to another space.

I would recommend the Holmes HFH442 if needed to quickly heat small areas quickly.

I was recommended to always purchase a holmes heater with a thermostate 10 years ago. Well, they finally quit on me. I couldn't find them like this one in any store. It's great to use if you don't feel like burning the fireplace. It's safe around my home especially with the ALCI.It knocks the chill out of the air almost immediately depending on what you set the thermostate on!These heaters are the best> I know because I have tried others. Always get one with a thermostate. It's like the central heat in the home. It cuts off automatically when reach that temp and comes back on! I love my heater!Holmes Heater Fan With ALCI

Perfect purchase for me. Size descriptions are not exact. When screen is standing properly and balanced, the measurement of the rear width is 30" 30 1/2". Bought this little screen to insert into the brick frame, in front of the metal firebox insert, to keep my wild dog from slamming into the fireplace and toys out.

Pros--

*Light weight, easy to move around yet sturdy enough to keep my big dog out.

*Compact. For off season use, unfold completely. It stays flush with the firebox and looks like it belongs. Unobtrusive.

*Plain. I could see the my natural gas vented logs and glowing embers.

*You can face it the opposite way to make it wider, if you don't mind that it looks backwards.

*Versatile use: I just bought a space heater and used this little screen in front of it to keep dog safe.

Cons--

*I bought this used from Amazon Marketplace seller who advertised, "Like new, just opened box." It came with the mesh slightly dented. For $32, it was worth it.

*Measurements are imprecise because the balance will be off if not standing properly. 20 1/2" side panels are shorter than middle.

This product arrived as described, but m fireplace is 37 inches across it was just too small. This is a simple black screen, nothing fancy here.

Honest reviews on Muskoka® Onyx Series Matte Black Fireplace Screen

This screen looks better in person than it does in the picture. From the picture I was afraid it looked a bit grayish but it is definitely coal-black. It seems very sturdy and I love that it folds up flat so you can easily hide it away when you don't need it. The front of our old wood burning stove is shorter than most fireplaces so it was hard to find a screen that was the right size most of them were way too tall. This one is perfect!

The heat that it puts out isn't too terrible great, but you shouldnt expect it to be with an electric fireplace. It works great for my living room, which is a medium size.

I am very pleased with the operation of these mechanical timers. I had installed the electronic timers in my other bathrooms but, this one bathroom did not have a common wire available so a mechanical timer was the only solution.

While you can hear the timer if you make a deliberate attempt to hear it, the timer is very quiet and is no louder than a quartz wall clock.

The timing feature is highly accurate.

Best Deals on Intermatic FD2HW 2-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

This timer is the perfect replacement for the old bathroom vent fan wall switch. Before showering you just give it a twist and the fan runs till it times out. The new standard time for bathroom vent fans is recommended at a minimum of 20 minutes after the shower water is turned off to help prevent mold and mildew buildup on the bathroom walls from excess moisture in the air. This timer works great for that. If you need to run the fan for other stinky business you give it a small twist. It is working out very well for us. It was easy to install (just like changing a light switch, but make sure to follow the directions that are included.)

Honest reviews on Intermatic FD2HW 2-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

I built a timer control for my Rigid rechargeable battery charger. I destroyed two batteries by leaving them in the charger for a week. Charger is not suppose to do that but after that incident the batteries would loose charge over night and eventually died. Warrantied the lifetime batteries. So I used a 4 square electric box, a cover plate with a duplex receptacle and rectangular opening for the Intermatic FD2H, and a 6 foot 14-3 gauge cord with grounded plug. Through all this in the blender and out came my timer controlled portable ac outlets. Other than the timer all parts were scrounged from my garage. The Intermatic FD2H timer has been around for years so it should last for a long time. In the future will make a similar device using the cheaper Chinese made Woods 59013 Decora Style 8-4-2-1 Hour Electronic Timer.

Timer stops counting down while switch is on, making this an infinity-hour timer rather than a 2-hour timer. If your intention is to use it to, for example, turn off the coffee pot automatically so that it doesn't burn down the house, look elsewhere: either for a more reliable timer, or a replacement house. The problem is a mechanical one: the mechanism used to tick off the seconds simply stops due to insufficient spring tension, or excessive friction on the moving clockwork parts. I attempted to solve the problem by introducing a drop of watch oil in various locations... no luck.

I will not buy another similar product from this company.

The item has changed. It no longer even matches the picture that is on the box. The manufacturing of this part is now being outsourced to "Cavagna Group" and is now the same as the other regulator that I did NOT want. The Mr. Heater regulator, as pictured, is apparently no longer being made, so if you order it, you get a different one altogether--not even the same design. It does not work for me at all. Absolutely irritating. The one being put in the "Mr. Heater" box is made by Cavagna group and is a completely different design and does not even match the box picture or packaging--and nobody thinks it makes a difference?

I purchased two of these heaters brand new and both cannot have the second tube lit up (the advertised 1500w setting) without overheating and shutting off less than a minute later. This is with them sitting in the middle of two cold rooms, one being the garage with its own breaker box.

These are obviously built poorly and untested afterwards. There is no possible way these are safe to use.

Might as well add that the 750w setting does not overheat being left on, but the heat it puts out is useless for the size of this thing. Its big, and to only be putting out the heat of smaller units, its useless.

I personally will not buy another Comfort Zone product because these were so disappointing.

Sorry to say this heater was not a winner. It did arrive on time and in perfect condition. However upon first use and every subsequent use there after it was very loud and had a horrible rattling sound like it was going to come apart violently. It also produced very little heat, having another heater similar to this one that works wonderfully, I am aware of what a heater like this should put out for heat. I would not suggest this heater to anyone, in fact i would suggest the Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4. I have had the Fahrenheat unit for over six month's now and it perform's as advertised without a single failure.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This thing is well built. Note that it requires a 240 outlet before you order. But it puts out the heat let me tell you. My son came over and mounted it up about 2/3 of the way up the wall opposite the garage door in a corner about 3 feet forward from the wall and plugged it in. (he did put a support bracket up for the top and bottom of the unit) We fired it up and tho it makes noise there was no rattle and the level's nothing you can't live with and I soon was used to it. It's a bit early for heating here in the mountains of Colorado but we did have a morning low of 39 and this was around 6:30 in the morning before he went to work. Took about ten minutes to heat up the Garage from about 45 to 65 degrees and then we turned it off because it was going to go back up in the 80's later in the day and it wouldn't be needed. So right now I'm pleased with it and this winter when we dip down below freezing I'll give it it's real test and if there are problems I'll come back and redo this review. Right now I can report it's solid, well built, the controls are convenient and the thermostat worked pretty darn good cycling it off when it reached 65. I would certainly recommend this unit at this price point...just remember you need that 240 outlet handy to use it.

Here is my situation:

I love in northern MN. It gets COLD. I have a 30x60 uninsulated garage/pole barn with 15+ ceilings and a cement floor. I made a "bubble" work area 400 sq.ft (20x20x9) using 4mil plastic within the garage. The heater arrived quickly and in good shape. I already had a 50amp circuit but downsized that to a 30amp and attached the correct female receptacle to fit the unit. Very simply.

I have been impressed with this little heater. I do not find it to be too loud, considering it is made for a garage setting. Some days the temps were in the negatives with windchills in the -20's and in my "bubble" the temp was at least 30 deg. I have recently put studs and insulation between joists at 9ft for the ceiling. This has really helped. The outside temps are in the 20's but "bubble" is in the 50-60 range.

I have not used any other garage heater so I have nothing to compare too. I do not run this thing all day/night. For the most part, I run it a few hours before I plan to "work" in the "bubble" and the temps has risen to a workable level for me (35 deg +). Remember, my "bubble" is simply within my garage, no insulation (except ceiling) and is definitely not air tight.

I have only had this for about 2 weeks but I have been satisfied for my application. I will update this post in the future as I use it more, insulate the room, and receive an electric bill.

I would recommend this product, but I would probably recommend the similar RED heater for $30 less. I read the product info wrong on the RED one and purchased this unit instead. Either way, it is doing what I need.

UPDATE: (3/25/13)

I have had this unit a little over a month. I have taken down the "bubble" mentioned in the last email and finished off half of the garage. The area is now approx. 30x30 (900 SQFT). The area is insulated with rigid foam board (R6 in walls R4 board and R11 fiberglass insulation in ceiling ceilings are 9ft). My point is that the insulation is NOT GREAT. The heater is able to heat the entire area about 40 deg warmer than the outside temp. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test this heater when the temps were below zero with the area being insulated. This heater is stated to heat an area 500 sq feet but my area is almost 900 sq ft and it does the job to take the chill out of the area (even with a cement floor). Two of these heaters would EASILY heat my area to any temp (70 deg) no matter what the temp is outside. Remember, I live in a COLD area. I would still recommend this unit. I don't know exactly how much my electric bill went up but it did go up (not an outrageous amount). The only thing I would like to change on this unit would be when you turn it off the fan stops running but the area around the unit is still hot as it cools off could be dangerous if you are not in the room I suspect all heaters are similar to this though.

My workshop has been unusable for the last few years. This year, it is great and I can be productive on weekends! I had a 30 amp plug that was installed for some of my tools so that was not an issue. If you don't have one, you should get one put in for large tools and this heater. It is nice and toasty in about an hour and for a room with no insulation, it is able to keep it warm. I highly recommend this to someone looking to warm a work area.

Just purchased this (Lowe's $38) and used it last night. I've used various (all ceramic) models over the years and was very pleased with this one planned to return to Lowe's for a second unit and was checking prices on Amazon. Will now be exchanging it for the tower version of this model (didn't realize it featured a multi-function remote) which received great reviews here. The oscillator works well (90 degrees side to side).

NOTE: despite the claim here of an internal tip-over switch (not stated on the carton) this unit will not shut off until the overheat sensor activates. I did not wait for that to occur as I tipped the running unit over backwards, forwards and each side the only difference was reduced air output on its back (since the carpet was blocking the fan's air input) and higher temp setting when tipped forward (as the temp+ button contacted the carpet).

Bottom Line: had I not found a more desirable alternative, or preferred a shorter unit, I would have purchased a second identical unit and been quite satisfied (although careful to reduce tip-over risk).

Bought this from Lowe's. All functions worked well. The timer was odd in that you set how many hours ahead you want to turn it on, but that was not hard to grasp. I had two issues with this unit: You have to turn the timer on every night in order for it to come on in the morning before you get up. You can't set a timer and have it run on its own like a light timer. We were using this for a sunroom so it would be warm when I got up to let the dog out every morning. The problem we had was that we either got a flaky unit, or the whole design was bad, because if we wanted the unit to work properly we had to turn it on and then off before setting the timer. If we didn't do that, the unit would turn on, but the room would still be cold. The nights we remembered to turn it on and off before setting the timer I would wake up to the room being warm and the heat maintained. Since I wanted a low maintenance heater this one was getting to be too much remembering for me and I took it back.

I bought it for my office because i like a little warmer and office is always set at 71-72F. The heater looks good and has decent features. The best part that i like is that it has remote.

Now the worst part which rules out all good things...the heater is just too noisy. In my office i feel like am sitting in an airplane. The heater has no high/low setting for fan and the fan just keeps spinning at a very high speed. How difficult was it to put that feature? It has a high low setting for heat which is only to switch the power output but not to control the fan. I just needed to warm the room a little but cant stand the noise. Also, it doesnt turn off when set at 73 even when my wall thermostat shows 73.4 degrees. I would recommend a Lasko heater because they all have high/low settings and are much quieter.

With a 60 watt bulb the resistance should be below 500 ohms ( not a fully closed contact). The new one has about 45 ohms resistance with a 60 watt light source and apparently the flame has a light source about the same intensity as a 60 watt bulb. Safety swithc now works as it should.

This has got to be the most expensive piece of crap Ive ever paid for. Normally I would flush it down the toilet, but this wouldnt fit. Theyve had to ship out a new base, the original was cracked.

When i recieved the new base, i started putting it together and one of the cheap plastic threaded inserts was missing. So now i still cant put this thing together. Almost every part has some type of damage to it. Typical China crap!!!

Other than every other complaint, it does look really nice. haha

I bought this item but with the gel fireplace insert. The entertainment center is still the same model number but this product has the electric fireplace insert.

POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND PACKAGED!

When I received my items:

*the top panel trim on the left side was coming off, there was a dent in the middle, and the trim on the right side was barely hanging on

*the base panel was cracked in the front

*the upper firebox trim was broken (piece that supports the top panel beneath the television and above the firebox insert)

*the 2 back panels had either a large vertical scratch or had a hole

*multiple discolorations (white where it should be black) and scratches throughout every piece

*Assembly guide included with the fireplace insert but not for the entertainment center (I had to Google search for it and found it on the Home Depot website.)

I beg you. Please do not buy this item! It is NOT worth the money and you might as well invest in an already assembled/mostly assembled fireplace/entertainment center locally. I called Cymax to get a WHOLE product replacement and they wanted pictures of the damages, which I sent. Although Cymax claimed it was a whole product replacement, Real Flame DID NOT send out a whole product replacement but only sent the replacement parts after reviewing my claim. Unfortunately, some of the replacement parts did not screw properly with the original parts that I had already. Also, the left side of the top panel was beginning to come off just like the original top panel that was being replaced. Since I tried to assemble the fireplace, it is not in it's original condition. Hence I did not even bother with returning it, getting up to 50% of the price paid, and deducting even more for shipping the item back to Cymax. Needless to say, I threw everything away out of sheer frustration and bought an electric fireplace/entertainment center from Havertys.

A complete disaster, waste of money, and time!!!

This is actually a beautiful entertainment center. i love it and everyone that has seen it so far has said how much they love it.There is a strong odor when you remove it from the box but it goes away quickly. I gave it 3 stars due to the cons but overall its a nice piece.

Pros: Beautiful. nice color, Sturdy, movable shelves, good overall width and height. The fireplace is really nice with the ability to give off heat or not and the dynamic flame. There is a large area of open space behind the fireplace unit.

Cons: Very little room between shelves and the back covering board. So for larger plugs it is a problem. The width of the individual shelves is an issue. My receiver did not fit (i looked up a bunch of other receivers dimensions and they would have the same problem). I had to take the back board off and push it in from the back. I left plenty of space above for overheating issues. There were some defects in the wood but you can only seen them when your right next to it. Many of the bolts that are locked in did not match up perfectly. The front right portion also did not match up with the molding from the sides to the center portion. The fireplace portion has chainmail type covering over the glass. This does not sit perfectly vertical but you only really notice when your close. The fireplace unit (which is separate)does not fit perfectly against the rear of the hearth portion (center) but it does screw in so it is secure.

Bought this unit at Christmas and finally installed it today March 30, 2012. I was very disappointed in the flame. The flame is only one color, light yellow, which makes it look very fake and faint. If you have the light on or it is daytime you can barely see the flame and my bathroom is very dark because my skylight isn't installed yet. I am sure once the skylight is installed I won't be able to see the flame during the daytime. I also thought the sand was movable and replaceable but it appears to be fixed and sealed in place. I didn't like the pattern of the sand and wanted to rearrange it but I guess I will have to live with it the way it is. Another design flaw is that the model and general information of the unit is printed in white on the black metal on the right side of the fireplace where the manual controls are located. It looks ghastly. We have a mirror on the wall which is perpendicular to the wall the fireplace is on and it shows the reflection of all the writing in the mirror. We are going to buy a piece of sheet metal to cover it up. I am sure they could of printed that information somewhere else on the unit. I do like the modern look of the fireplace and it does look nice installed in the wall and does put out some heat however, not as much heat as I expected from reading the specifications. It is spring here in California and I wonder if it will put out enough heat in the winter time. I bought this because I had heard that the flames looked very realistic and the videos I watched of other Dimplex fireplaces showed at least 2 colors in the flame. Trust me the flame in this fireplace has only one color and they must be adding colors to the pictures. I wished I could of seen the fireplace before I bought it but couldn't find it anywhere. I would not of bought this fireplace if I had seen the poor quality of flame color.

Update

My husband put a black metal plate over the model information and it looks a lot better now.

This was the 2nd Dimplex electric fireplace that I ordered from Amazon. Unfortunately it too was a disappointment. Again, the flame isn't coming from sand, but instead an odd looking fabric that did not look appealing. My biggest complaint though was that Dimplex does not stress that this fireplace really needs " In Wall" mounting, not just "on "the wall. It has a large profile that if not mounted "in the wall" is just too big and awkward looking "on" the wall. It sticks out quite a bit and just couldnt be integrated nicely onto the wall without looking like the pink elephant in the room. Had I been willing to cut through drywall and install, I am certain it would have been pretty. I returned this fireplace unfortunately. On a more positive note, Amazon makes returns so incredibly easy that one should atleast order the fireplace and see if it works for them, if not, the return process is painless.
