Discount CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother, Black
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a handy little milk frother/heater that works quickly and quietly. The latter quality was a surprise to me, as milk steamer are so noisy. It's really nice in the morning when the rest of the family is still asleep to be able to make a latte quietly. My one beef with it is that it doesn't hold very much only about 6-8 ounces so if you want a bigger drink than that, you have to froth/heat the milk twice. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store.

I am completely loving this milk frother so far. It was a gift for my husband and I was a bit wary when I found this frother at Bed Bath and Beyond... (mine is black instead of white) I hadn't heard of the brand and almost returned it for one on amazon with more reviews... however, for the week we've had it, its been wonderful. You just pour in milk or half and half... I guess whatever you want and it immediately froths... its thick and creamy and actually stays that way for awhile so you can enjoy it with multiple cups of coffee... You can't throw it in the dishwasher, and I was a bit worried about that at first, but its really easy to clean by filling it with water, rinsing it and filling it again then pressing the button... The booklet even recommends using a drop of soap, but I haven't done that.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The only fault I can find with this product is that it does not make cold froth for summertime coffee drinks. Therefore the 4 star rating... I would give it 5 if it frothed cold milk too. It only warms milk, or makes warm froth for hot coffee drinks, but it does that very well. You have a choice of making a small amount or more, in nothing flat! It even turns itself off when ready. I just tried it with my own brewed coffee making it stronger than usual as I did not have the expresso or any of the pre-mixed packets that CBTL sells. I need sugar-free so I added some flavoring, cinnamon and sweetener and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted :D I am the only one in this household who likes frothed/sugar free so this will be perfect for me or any of my visiting guests who like the "skinny lattes."

It couldn't be easier to use, fast clean-up, just rinse the inside & dry. I find myself warning "helpers" not to immerse the product in dishwater that is a pain but it stores nicely and is very sturdy and heavy, not flimsy. Mine arrived in white, not black, as labeled on the packing slip, which would've matched my other appliances, but performance wise, I can't complain. My CBTL milk frother was provided by Amazon's Vine Program for my online unbiased review of this new product.

This would make a great gift for a single person or even the elderly, it is that easy to use :)

Honest reviews on CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

This frother is great! I like foamed milk with my coffee drinks and a dollop of whipped cream on top. It's as easy as pouring the milk up to the line inside the frother, twisting the cap on (it only locks one way), plugging it in and pushing the button. 90 seconds later it shuts itself off and you have perfect foamy, warm milk. My skim milk scorched a little on the bottom of the frother but the non-stick lining is VERY non-stick and I wiped it right out with a wet paper towel.

(I have this in the black version, same model).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The CBTL is solidly constructed, heavyish, and creates good quality warm, frothy milk (or just plain warm milk.) However, even though it warms and froths milk well, I cannot give it 5 stars (or even 4). For starters, it cannot produce cold frothed milk. Secondly, the unit produces a relatively paltry 4 ounces of frothed milk. Thirdly, the lid is overly complex because it contains the motor and the frother is physically attached to it. There is no submersing the lid to clean it. In fact, one should be very careful cleaning lid so as not ruin it with soapy water. Fourth, the pitcher and base are one unit. Again, with electronics in the base, it is difficult to adequately clean the pitcher. It is easy for water to inadvertently go where it should not go when cleaning the base. Fifth, the unit has to cool down between frothings. So much for frothing two batches of milk back to back. The limited capacity of the pitcher means one can produce frothed milk for one or two cups of coffee or whatever.

I have used many frothers from the plunger style manual frothers by Bodum to the Aerolatte to this CBTL. The CBTL is most similar to the Keurig frother I used to own. Actually, I owned two of the Keurigs. Both of them simply stopped working. The Keurig and CBTL both share the similar flawed design of a one piece pitcher/heater and a lid with a frothing motor and frother attached.

There is one one frother, though, which stands far above the others. It is the:B003LXY2HA Capresso frothPRO]]. The Capresso pitcher is free of electric parts, the lid has no motor, it has a large capacity, can produce both warm and cold frothed milk, is incredibly easy to clean, and is priced well.

So: the CBTL is a very nice unit. But as long as the Capresso is available, it would be difficult to make the CBTL one's first choice.

And one more thing, the description says the CBTL is made in Italy. My unit is clearly marked "made in China".

So after spending a little over a week searching for a suitable kettle I have definitely found the perfect match. I recently received a 6 cup teapot and wanted to keep it in my room along with an electric kettle to replace going into the kitchen and brewing cup after cup of tea.

My criteria

Stainless steel with as little plastic contact as possible.

Hidden heating element.

Simple functions, the less bells and whistles the less to break

Good spout

Inexpensively priced.

What I like about this kettle:

It met all my criteria.

After brewing and discarding 4 kettle fulls there is no discernible aftertaste.

No plastic contact inside, there is a plastic water level but it isn't in direct contact with the largest body of water in the kettle. Also, the tube for the boiling shut off is made from stainless as well, not plastic which is really nice.

Is real metal not just plasticy coated metal imitator I saw on a few of the models.

The inside bottom is a stainless plate with the heating element underneath making clean up easy.

The outside bottom is plastic and gets warm not burning hot so it can be placed onto a surface.

Slides onto the base easily.

Auto shutoff works well.

What worries me: I say worries because it isn't a problem right now but may be a few months down the line.

The lid opens with a button which if it breaks could potentially be a problem, not to fill the kettle as the spout provides adequate room to fill it with, but to clean it.

After two brews i took the little filter out. I am using it only to heat water and only with filtered water so to me it seems unnecessary.

The switch at the bottom, it doesn't seem flimsy per say but it does seem to be a little loose, its not a push button so I worry it may give out.

Duh, or common sense things that people seem to have an issue with:

It gets hot. Yes. It's supposed to. Since the body is stainless steel, which is a good conductor of heat, it will be hot. The handle provides ample room to grab though.

It will be heavy if completely full. Yes, water in larger amounts does get heavy. The kettle itself isn't much heaver than a standard coffee carafe so it should not add much to the overall weight.

It can be a bit loud. Its boiling water, the kettle doesn't have any sound or heat insulation so yes you will be able to hear it. Honestly for me its not really a bother. The kettle sits on its own table next to my desk and I find it kind of soothing. Plus if I am heating water for green tea or white tea I can listen in and shut it off before it comes full boil.

Along those lines, if you leave water in it for some time yes the water will cool. It is not a warmer nor is it a thermos that will keep it to the same temperature all day.

Overall:

I am very satisfied with this product. I have already recommended it to several people and it has been serving me well. Its not a fancy appliance so it does its job and doesn't require a tremendous effort on my part which was exactly what I was looking for.

Researched electric kettles no end without finding a good buy with good performance. Picked this one up at Costco, trusting in the return policy.

I've had no thought of returning it: Heats fast, and the hot water has no taste or smell. Base is light but stays put--it's no effort at all to set it on the base or lift it off.

Cons:

* The metal outside gets hot. Fortunately, you have no reason to touch it. The handle is large and comfortable and your knuckles are protected from accidental brushes, so the heat of the metal is not likely to matter.

* The trigger on the top of the handle opens the lid. A minor annoyance: this usually flings a few droplets of water about. If you use the trigger to open the lid just after boiling, though, those droplets will be very hot. Fortunately, there's no reason to do this unless you're starting another kettle-full just after finishing one. When you're pouring normally, you'll be pouring through the spout and the top needn't be open.

I went thru three cordless electronic kettles like this one and was not satisfied, but this one is a keeper, I love it, it boils water fast, keeps it hot/warm for a long time, water doesn't taste funny, no problem with top not opening properly, it's all around the best that I've used, I'll recommend it to everyone~~~

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Ensemble Electric Kettle, 10-Cup

After lots of research, I opted for this one. I drink hot tea every day and wanted an easy and safe way to make hot water, without using the microwave or turning on the stove. This electric kettle did the trick!

PROS:

Kettle can be removed from heating base and carried around.

Wide, sturdy handle for easy carrying and pouring.

Very minimal if any dripping while pouring, really great pouring design.

Heats water very fast.

Automatic shut-off once water reaches a boil, very nice feature.

Very simple switch for on/off and red indicator light tells you it is in the process of heating.

Minimal plastic, mostly stainless steel parts that touch the water.

Metal mesh filter inside pouring spout to catch mineral deposits. I don't really have a need for it, but some might. Can be removed.

Kettle can be placed at any spot on heating base, no need to line anything up.

Heating portions are internal to reduce corrosion and damage.

Boil-dry prevention; it won't allow the unit to turn on the heating element if it detects kettle is empty.

CONS:

Measuring indicator is behind handle, so not the easiest to read while holding.

Product guide states minimum water to boil should be no less than one liter. This is excessive for some of my uses, but not a big deal.

Uses a lot of power fast to quickly heat up that amount of water, actually tripped the breaker!

Lid is spring-loaded so when you push the button, it flings open and if the water is hot, it will fly back on your hand or arm. Though there is no real reason to open the kettle up when it has boiling hot water in it, it could be dangerous especially for kids.

Small opening makes it more difficult to clean, though you aren't to put anything other than water in it so only minimal cleaning is required.

OTHER

Noise: You can hear the kettle heating the water, and it sounds much like a kettle on a stove. There isn't a whistle, but you can hear the water boiling. When it shuts off, there is a 'click' as the switch flips off. I like that, lets me know it is done.

Heavy: Remember, the more water is in it, the heavier it will be. You can't touch anywhere but the handle because it is too hot (and stays hot for awhile). The handle is sturdy and thick enough to pick up the kettle, but if you have weak hand/wrists and it is full, BE CAREFUL. Use a potholder if you need to touch the other side for balance.

Overall: I'm happy with my purchase. You can easily spend a lot of money on an electric tea kettle, but I don't see the need to, this one from Hamilton Beach does a fine job.

I bought one from Costco. It works perfect. There is no rubber smell. I have a very sensitive nose when drinking my earl grey tea. Performance so far is just as good as the Cuisine Art that we keep upstairs which tends to break down after a year of use. We will see which one will lasts longer without breaking down.

First, we have had waterbeds since the'70's.

This is a well-made, rugged product with reinforced box corners, which I expect will be more cat-proof than its deceased predecessor. It fits the frame perfectly, with no wrinkles or odd bulging corners, and like most is delightfully comfortable.

There is one issue that prevents a Five Star rating, and it probably is not the fault of the manufacturer or vendor.

Plasticizer odor. We all know that any waterbed mattress (Or inflatable pool item, toy, or anything made with flexible vinyl products) has a distinct and not unpleasant odor. Even after a year, one can detect it in bedrooms with a water bed.

I am sorry, but the odor from this is very strong and persistant. The windows have been open for three days now, the bedding has been rewashed, and the odor is still cloyingly strong.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT ten days later to be fair: OK, everything has quieted down with the plasticizer odor. Added a star.

As a courtesy to people with sensitive noses, the rest stands:

End Edit

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I am NOT a chemophobe. I MADE PCV calendered and plastisol products for a Fortune 500 at one time. I recognize this smell.

People with chemical (Phthalate) sensitivities should avoid this product.

Here is why:

"Phthalates can be divided into two groups: high and low molecular weight, with high molecular weight phthalates now representing over 80 percent of European market for plasticisers. Low molecular weight phthalates include those with 3-6 carbon atoms in their chemical backbone; the most common types being Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Di-butyl phthalate (DBP), Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP). Because of possible health effects of low phthalates in the environment, including Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, there is movement to replace them with safer alternatives in Canada, the European Union, and the United States."

I am quite happy with my new mattress. It was the least expensive I could find on the internet and I see no problems. I have had quite a few free flow waterbed mattresses and this one is just fine. There really is not much to them. It is a big water bladder. This one seems pretty durable. The only weird thing here is that the one they sent is red not blue.

This mattress is really nice, it feels thicker than my previous ones and the fill cap being in the middle is a really nice touch. However it has an extremely strong plastic smell, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I did expect the smell but I did not expect it to fill the entire house for over a month, even with opening the windows for a few hours every night.

Also, not that it is a con, the mattress is actually red not blue like in the picture.

I love this a/c unit for my bedroom works like a charm and reasonably quiet if you keep all the filters cleaned. My only question is who designed the exhaust hose set up? It is absolutley ridiculous. I've gone through about $20 of duck tape just trying to keep the stupid exhaust hose in the plastic piece. Why the engineers took a lunch break on this part of the unit is just beyond me. I finally just superglued the darn pieces together. Otherwise, great machine but for the money they really dropped the ball on the exhaust hose set up.

We purchased this item based partly on the reviews here. We paid extra for overnight delivery. The item arrived ok and we unboxed and plugged it in. This unit initialized correctly and then the cold air came out. Ahhh. This is going to be just what we need. It ran for 15 seconds and then the compressor shut down. The fan kept running. We tried it different locations thinking it might be a power problem. It is not. We called Product Support only to sit on hold with no one to answer the phone.

It may well be that this is a good product but you roll the dice if you get one of the good ones.

We ordered this on Amazon Prime and paid for next day delivery. That all went fine. We were going to ask for a replacement but then found out that to get a replacement takes 3 to 5 weeks. Huh? What? You can get me the product in 1 day but it takes 5 weeks to replace it?

What's up with that?

Honest reviews on Koldfront PAC1401W Ultracool 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I will state a couple of positives first. It cools fast and it's relatively quiet. There you go. Now worst to first. Set-up with the window adapter, exhaust tube and connecting it to the back of the unit took me an hour! I'm no Joe-contractor, but I've taken apart and put together enough things in my life to know that this is a total duct-tape job at all three points. Tomorrow I have to go to the hardware store to get some clamps that might work. It's ridiculous that the manufacturer of this machine doesn't spend a few extra cents per unit to include a few easy connectors. Get this the owner's manual actually says "duct tape may be required" for the window installation. Classy, huh? Okay, so knowing that I would have never purchased this. Next, the "swing" function designed to circulate the air on my unit is useless because if I employ it, there's a slow ratcheting sound as the louvers raise which lasts about five seconds and sounds three times louder than the unit at full compressor. This wouldn't be so bad, except that there is no left to right adjustment for air direction. Another design flaw is the cheap filter. It doesn't readily show ambient temp, you have to plow through the remote control to find the function. This is far and away the worst product I've ever purchased on Amazon. Why not return it? You put it all back together and haul it back to the UPS store up and down three flights of stairs in 100 degree heat after you just spent the most frustrating hour in recent memory and it's just not worth the hassle. Plus, I only need it a few weeks a year. Instead I would highly recommend the LG at this BTU. I had an LG and it was snap, snap, done in five minutes. I'll be selling this one after the heat is gone and getting another LG. Don't buy this product. I would never buy anything with this brand name. Sorry folks at Koldfront your product, at this price is a rip off. BTW if you're one of the people pulling your hair out trying to connect the hose, you can buy clamps similar to those you use on a dryer exhaust. Also, if using tape, I would suggest a high grade high temp pvc tape. Slightly less unsightly seals better and does not break down as quickly as duct tape. Just a couple suggestions to save you some headaches because you will have some.

We purchased this unit for our server room and it should provide plenty of cooling; however, it does not. We replaced a 12,000 BTU LG Unit after it died and hoped that this unit would be as good. It is not.

Our setup:

5" Ducting from the back of the unit to the ceiling to vent out the heat

Powered water pump unit to carry the condensation outside the building

The unit is sitting in front of our 42U Server Rack

Problems:

The EXHAUST Port on the back only sticks out 1/2" making it nearly impossible to hold the exhaust hose.

* We had to heavily duct tape the exhaust host and tie it up to keep it in place

* Warm air still leaks out

The Cold Output is minimal. The air is cold but does not travel very far.

* The 12k BTU LG worked well and kept the room cool

We are going to get rid of it and replace it with a split duct unit.

Blows about as much air and as much heat as if you'd propped up a small hair dryer. About as LOUD as a hair dryer, too.

Things unclear in the picture:

The adjustment allows you to swivel it on the bar in that position, not change its position on the bar.

It's tiny. It's about the same size as two hair dryers, side-by-side, and almost as loud.

It does make warm air, but it does so VERY LOUDLY.

Did I mention it's LOUD?

If you turn one on to take a relaxing bath in a warm environment, this is loud enough to startle you each and every time it pops back on, from over six feet away.

For about the same price, you can get a Vornado Vortex Heat Whole Room Compact Portable Electric Space Heater EH1-0025-01, which is nearly silent, and does the same job in about the same amount of space, with MORE air flow. Silly me, I shoulda bought another one when someone 'borrowed' my heater and never gave it back.

Now it works great. The only issue I have now is when the temperature drop close to 0 it has a hard time keeping up. I will work with it some more. In the mean time I am using it to warm colder rooms in my house while I am working in them. Works Great!

I inherited this heater and admit that I wanted it for sentimental value but I love it now! Having the ability to target a particular temperature is great, I wouldn't want a heater without that feature. What I would like is the ability to point the airstream up or down in addition to swiveling on the base. It is wonderfully light and compact and feels very safe. Though looks aren't important to me this little unit is more attractive than many others I've seen.

Best Deals on Holmes HFH416 1-Touch Swirl Grill Power Heater

I bought one of these last year and am using it again this winter. This heater is rather quiet for a fan-type although powerful at 1500W. The thermostat isn't very accurate, but then it was only designed to keep a personal space at a certain temperature, which it does well. You would need two of these to keep a small apartment near a specific temperature; otherwise set this heater to 5 deg. above desired temp.

The heater it replaced was a 600W radiant heater which failed just weeks after purchase. Eventually I decided the fan/hot-air heater could not completely replace the kind of direct warmth I get from radiant units, so now depending on my activity I alternate between the Holmes and a newer 900W carbon-FIR heater made Honeywell.

Fan-type heaters usually annoy me, but this one doesn't and it turned out better than I thought it would. I think this one would have rated 5 stars if it had a gradually-adjustable thermostat instead of digital presets.

This inexpensive little personal heater has a lot of great features that you don't find with other models in the same price range. First of all, in addition to the high-low setting that most heaters have, there is also a specific thermostat setting that lets you choose amongst five different temperatures (I believe the degree choices are 60-65-70-75-80). Secondly, the heater is self-adjusting, so once the room reaches the desired temperature, the heater turns off, only to come back on if the temperature dips back down. This heater has a nice swivel feature which allows you to angle it in different directions without having to move the entire unit. Finally, it is one of the smallest, quietest, most lightweight space heaters you will find! I have owned this heater for several years now--I use it in my basement exercise room, where it works perfectly, but it would also be great for bedrooms, offices, and other small rooms. Highly recommended!!!

I love this heater, in that it heats the finished section of my basement (approximately 550 square feet) very easily. Better yet, my electric bill doesn't go up much at all. I keep it on the regular setting (even without adjusting the thermostat down) and it will make my basement warm and cozy WITHOUT a big jump in cost. This is comforting to know, because I can virtually run the unit all day without cost concerns. I recommend this electric stove for those who have a medium-sized room to heat, and for those who love a nice accent (log & flames) as well.

Works as advertised. It heats my 3 garage garage to a working temperature with no problems even when it is -20 deg F outside.

Uses lots of fuel when running on highest setting with all 3 burners

This product worked great at first, but over time, this particular product line of Soleus Air Micathermic heaters will lose their ability to heat over time. Advertised at 1000 Watts, now, after 1 year, is 478 Watts, and loses wattage each day it's used. This means it's outputting less and less heat.

I submitted a claim to Soleus Air and they have not resolved the problem they only gave some explanation thinking they were right, but I sent them more details of the problem and they have not responded for over 1 month. Looking up my case number on their site, they consider this case resolved. It is not.

This is product is faulty and you won't get any reimbursements, so be careful, and buy a different brand, or a different heating technology like ceramic.

I will not ever buy a Soleus Air product again I do not want to support their company in producing poor quality products with poor customer support.

We purchased this exact same heater locally and we've been using it for about 45 days now. I was discouraged to see someone rated it so low because we are very happy with the heater we purchased. It has preformed beautifully in the time that we've had it.

I will say this though, this is the sixth portable electric heater we've purchased and only a couple of the models have lasted longer than a year. We had a Delong that simply stopped working and I haven't been able to figure out why.

If this one lasts the entire year, without trouble, I'll be happy. :)

I bought 3 pieces from BJs. Returned two after they stopped working within first 10 days. Kept one that worked almost 2 months last winter. This winter even the 3rd one is not working. Very unhappy.

I ordered this item around 3:00 pm and requested one day shipping. I received the item next day before noon. I do not live in the city so the speed of the shiping process is rocket science to me. The item itself is a wonderful product..Tried it and loving it. Temperature is perfect so no need to worry about a timer or getting burned and it warm up pretty fast too. Good quality compare to the money I wasted on Trillium red plaid blanket.

My office is always freezing and we are not allowed to have space heaters, so this was the best option. it has been the best $ I have ever spent and has kept me VERY hot in the office this winter.

I love this electric blanket.

It heats up quickly...less than 1 minute.

Even though the picture gives the appearance of the cheap flimsy blue blanket you find on an airplane, it's not.

It's a very comfy blanket.

And it's a great price too. The cheapest of all the electric car blankets and also the best. I did my homework :)

Get this one! You'll love it as much as I do.

Very poor. I bought this for an early vacation in the mountains. My wife has problems with the cold. It worked well for the first few days but by the fifth day it was barely warming. By the ninth day it quit heating. After the tenth day I threw it away. I bought the upscale model but return on investment was very poor.

Heat, if that's what you want, this heater will give it to you. Before I tell you what's good about this heater, let me tell you why I only gave it 4 stars. The reason: This heater doesn't have a thermostat. It is a completely manual turn on and off unit. It does have a timer, but I still haven't figured out when to use the timer other then putting it in a room and leaving the room knowing it will shut off when it reaches the time I set. Other than that I can't think of another reason except maybe when you go to sleep it will shut off, but it will get cold if it shuts off and you'll have to get up or use the remote to turn it back on. Either way, it's not a big deal. This heater is well worth the money. It has a gorgeous dish with diamond cuts throughout the inside and when it's on, wow, the look alone is worth the money. It also warms you like the sun. We have a fairly large media room and this heater makes us quite comfortable. We don't even have to put the main house heat on. Now keep in mind that this isn't a whole house heater, but a rather good room heater. It has a telescoping pole (I wish it would go up a little higher) so you can raise the heater and this comes in very handy. The 2 heat settings are low and high. High is only 1000 watts and low is 800 watts. Both are very economical. Those 1500 and 1800 watt heaters are very passe'. We leave it on low most of the time. It really does generate lots of beautiful, warm sun like heat. It has a very good tip-over switch which shuts the heater off if it is tipped over or bumbed hard. There is no hesitation in shutting it off, it's instant and that's a good thing. The entire body except the front grill is made of plastic so it's easy to move around. The front grill is metal. The heater also can oscillate. The remote controls the timer (up to 7 1/2 hours), temp. control, oscillating and on-off.

My only question mark is "will it last"? Only time will tell, but if you need some heat now, I absolutely recommend it. The cold can be bitter, but this heater will put a smile on your face. Don't be cold. Listen to Doctor R. I know about being hot, warm and cold and I'd rather be warm or hot and this heater will keep you warm...

Doctor R.

I only had this heater about 3 days when, after having been on for 4 hours (not an excessive amount of time), it started shooting sparks out of its back. I was in bed falling asleep, and don't want to think about what would have happened had I slept through it.

You'll need a Phillip and about 20 min as the instructions aren't clear and putting it all together is a matter of trial and error. The actual oscillation is a bit wobbly and all plastic parts looked "used". The remote works well from my bed and is perfect for warming up the room the short time between hitting the snooze button and actually getting out of bed.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Oscillating Parabolic Dish Radiant Heater with Romote

I am saving a bundle on propane costs since I started using the Comfort Zone parabolic heater(s). I especially like the remote control for heating ranges and the oscillating feature. The unit has performed as expected with no component failures. I would recommend you purchase one for each room. It really does the job in keeping the room comfortable and takes the load off of the forced air system. I know this sounds like a commercial, but with my heating bills costing $500.00 or more a month, I have been able to keep the costs down to $300.00 a month by supplementing with the parabolic heaters. My Electricity bills have increased slightly. (around 25 to 30 dollars a month} The units were recommended by a friend whose heating bills were a three times as much as mine. These old victorian homes are hard to keep warm in winter.

The oscillating is a nice touch because it gets really hot facing at the one direction. If you need only feet area, it maybe a bit high position but it is great for quick warming up for the room.

I bought these for our tiny downstairs bathroom in our condo in the mountains, where it gets extremely cold because there is no heating vent in the bathroom. These little heaters really put out the heat, are quiet, and the small footprint enabled me to fit it in the corner of countertop right behind the sink, which works great because a)it warms your hands when you wash them and b) that is where the plug is. All the other room heaters I looked at were just too big, too expensive, or both. I really only needed one of these but because they were so inexpensive for two I got them and now have an extra for other cold spots. The thermostat is great too, you just heat the room to desired temp on high, then lower the dial and it will keep the room at desired temperature. This bathroom is getting a lot more use now.

Bought these primarily for bathroom that was cold. Thought would save other one for backup. One puts out enough heat for the bathroom and my bedroom. Put the other in my sons' room. Got so hot in there my son wanted to turn on A/C. Been in the 20's and 30's @ night and still have not turned on furnace. Bought a larger heater for my living room. I am so happy with these, I am buying more for backups. I only paid $9 for both on clearance and will gladly pay more for the second set. My electric bill has fallen drastically. But be careful. Cannot put these on same circuit. It WILL trip your breakers if you put on same circuit.

They don't take up much room and are easy to move from room to room. They don't put out a blast of heat just enough to take the edge off if you're close to them. One good thing about them is that they don't use as much power as other heaters. This is helpful in my old apartment building where the wiring isn't really designed to support a lot of modern appliances at the same time.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFHVP3 1200 watt Compact Heater Fan 2-Pack

I thought I was getting a deal when I bought two fans for 31.00 however the heating fans are the exact same price at target. My dog has knocked them both down and they stop working afterwards. I wait an hour and plug them in and they work majically again. The heat they produce works fine in my 1000 square foot house but are most definately not top quality. The heat that is produced cannot be felt no further than 5 ft. from the fan itself. It does have a thermostat but does not work unless u move it til it cuts off them move it about one milimeter til it cuts back on and it will eventually cut off once the room reaches 75 degrees. That is the only way I have gotten the thermastat to actually cut the heating fan off. When cutting it on and off I hear a metal scrubbing sound but it stops once the fan speeds up. All in all I have two fans that work for now I've had them 2 months and I don't see them lasting years like other quality products that may not even be made anymore. The fact that they are only 1200 watts a piece makes it a little better

These two littler heaters, are a great deal. I took one to work, my office is so cold and at times feels like the ac is on instead of the heat. You regulate tempeature by the dial on top, turn the dial until the unit starts to blow the heat out or turn the dail back down until it stops. The unit is very quite. The second one is for my bathroom which is now warm and comfortable when I get out of the shower. These are ideal for small spaces. I do recommend for safety, to unplug the heater when not in use because it doesn't have an on/off switch. Turning the dial until it either turns the unit on or off is not the same as an actual on/off switch. Think about it, when the room cools below the setting it will turn on and start running and you may not want that to happen. Unplug when not in use.
