We were very happy with the first SPT SU-3750 Ultrasonic Penguin-Shaped Humidifier humidifier we bought, so we a pig, and eventually, five more penguins. I liked the penguin better than the pig from the start, and I still do, even though my review for the penguins is now less favorable than it was at first. I haven't bothered to look for a replacement.

DO THEY WORK? Yes, the our only pig and four of the six penguins do. I can run the penguins faster than the pig, because mist starts leaking out around the pig's face and getting the shelf wet if I turn it up too much (or don't get the face seated right.) We usually run each penguin for about 18 hours, and the pig for 20-22, with each roughly 1 gallon tank-full. Mist starts coming out immediately when you turn it on.

MODEL: I don't like the pig as well as the penguin because the mist comes out the pig's snout, which is not at the very top. It's easy to not get the face seated correctly on the body, and then mist comes out all over, getting your shelf wet. Even it the face is seated properly, if you run it full steam, some mist comes out around the edges of the face. (Not to mention that mist comming out the snout is a little gross. Also, the red light by the knob makes the pink bottom part glow in a dark room, which I find slightly creepy.)

NOISE: Most of them are pretty quiet, altough they do generate some white noise, and you occasionally hear bubbles as the base "gulps" water from the tank.

CLEANING: I rarely do. I love that these stay pretty clean with basically no maintenance. We had a cool mist humidifier with a filter that quickly grew all kinds of orange stuff, and warm mist vaporizers that create black shale-like stuff in the tanks, so these penguins are better. I use regular tap water, and we do get a little white dust/mineral deposit film from these (which is much worse with one unit than with the other three), and after a couple months I've noticed stuff starting to grow, mainly in the parts where the mist comes up & out. It would be nice if the base didn't still have a bunch of water in it when you take off the tank, so you could easily let everything dry out every now and then or so to keep stuff from growing.

FILLING: You take off the face, lift off the tank (the clear part), flip it over and unscrew a cap on the bottom of the tank, and fill it in a sink or bathtub. It's nice that it fits in a regular bathroom sink. It would be nicer if you could bring a jug of water to the pig and fill it in place, without turning it upside down, or at least if it wouldn't drip when you carry the tank.

SUITABLE AROUND KIDS: Yes. The mist & units are cool, so little kids can't get burned. And they're cute. My 2 1/2 year old loves "raking the smoke", slicing a spatula through the mist. He does turn the ones on the counter on and off.

MAKE SURE: 1) It's high enough above the floor that the floor won't get wet. (A 42" counter is fine, lower may be ok too.) 2) the tank is seated properly: a couple bubbles rising will let you know that the tank is back on the base correctly. Otherwise, it will use up the water in the base, then stop making mist even though the tank is still full.

This is a really great humidifier if you're looking for something inexpensive, with no filters to replace. It's very simple, easy to use and really puts out a lot of steam (adjustable, of course). Since it goes through the water quickly, it doesn't build up pink gunk like other more expensive humidifiers weve tried. The only thing that's a little tricky is getting the water tank back on the base without splashing a few drops. But overall, it's a pig with steam coming out it's snout! What's not to love?

I've had this humidifier for 2 years now, and it's still going strong. After two years, the LED light indicator has definitely gone out, but the main function still works well. I've never had a problem with leaks. Other than the LED light, this humidifier works just as well as the day I bought it. Great value for a simple product.

Honest reviews on SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

I ordered this pig last month, and I don't know how I ever lived without it! I run it mostly while I'm awake, as I have a fear of running appliances unattended, but lately I've caught a cold and have been running it at night as well. Not only does it work wonderfully (great control for mist output!), but many of my friends have expressed how jealous they are, as they own plain, boring humidifiers. So unless you're really boring, don't feel silly buying the pig!

Refilling is easy, and I've had no issues placing the tank back on the base (it was somewhat tricky the first day, but never again). Although it's not the recommendation, I've been using tap water, with no negative effects so far. Though, I do plan on switching to filtered soon, as I love my pig and want him to have a good life.

My husband and I both love this humidifier. It works great and it is sooo cute. I especially like how it can go for 2 full days on low to med with one full tank of water. With one full tank of water it will go for a couple of hours on high. I would recommend this one to all my family and friends.

While a lot of my euro friends made claims that only Americans get faux fireplaces, everyone seems to like it now that they get to sit in front of it and stare at the lights. It really does have the same relaxing effect of a fire. The lights can go on whether one turns on the heat function or not. The heat function works fantastic as suggested. Heats up a 400 sq foot space with no problem. I have a flat panel TV on top and there is no problem having the heater on with the TV there.

The console is very sturdy. There is plenty of room for cable box, books, and other media related items. You get the typical backing which includes holes for cable cords on both top and bottom. It is very easy to put together. The lights in the fireplace have the same relaxing effect of a fire.

It's a little pricey, given that it is literally a heating unit in a media shelf. However, I think if you tried to recreate this look separately it would never work. Moreover, I like that it's space saving. I have a fire place and a TV unit all together. That's particularly key for your typical NYC apartment.

All in all very happy!!

We are very pleased with our purchase of the Dimplex console/electric fireplace. Delivery was very prompt. As far as difficulty putting the unit together, my husband feels it was "medium". The unit is good quality. The flames look very realistic.

The liner seems to be of good quality materials and workmanship. The sidewalls are well constructed. Only time will tell!

Best Deals on InnoMax Pro Max Heavy Duty Stand-Up Waterbed Safety Liner, King

This was purchased as a replacement for a liner that was over 25 years old. This liner appears to be of decent quality and hopefully will hold up as long as the last one! It comes folded up and care should be taken to smooth out all the wrinkles and get it square in the bed frame before placing the mattress in it. When the mattress is fully filled up, this liner is a little taller than the mattress which is a good thing in my opinion. If your bed has the side rail covers, this liner will need to be tucked in behind/under the rail covers (depending on the height of your frame) but in my opinion this helps keep the liner from getting damaged due to pets chewing on the top edges.

Box easy to frame in. Stuffed a 34,000 btu log set in. Not alot of play for connection, could've had more if used proper log set. Did not come with clear instructions for mounting fan location but could figure out after eye balling for a little bit. Costs are same with Amazon and Northern Tool, although shipping was half the cost with Amazon. This item regardless is shipped from Procom. After installed, I cranked it up and got it operating, checking for temperatures surrounding insert. Frame was cool, floor tile not effected. heat was rising although not effecting above and backwards area where future electronics will be placed. It's working out as planned although not enough room inside for planned gas shutoff valve. That had to be placed outside of insert. I got a good deal on refurbished log set at 34,000 btu and wanted to take advantage of that, dimensions fit although cramped inside insert. I don't see problems at all and can see that insert doing it's job for a long time. Hopefully log set lasts awhile. For an insert and prices on inserts would highly recommend this one.

We used an LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor of our last home. We are just finishing up remodeling a home we purchased out of foreclosure and decided immediately that we would us a large LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor in this home as well. We will be moving in soon and this unit has already proven to be well worth the price. If you are in the market for a gas or LP vent free fireplace, and are handy in any way, shape or form I suggest doing what I did. I bought this firebox, chose a vent free gas log set that would be compatible and built my own mantle out of solid maple. I assembled and installed the unit myself. By doing this I saved HUNDREDS of dollars over "packaged" vent free fireplaces I have seen on the market, AND I got a better fireplace.

This unit is solid, well-made and offers several different ways to attach the mantle. It also has a huge access door in the louvered area at the bottom for installation of the blower if you should be so inclined. Great product at a great price. Definitely recommend.

Cheap Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner

Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner With Heat Pump
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars
Buy Now
Before buying a portable air conditioner, it helps to understand what you can expect and not expect from it. There is no way it will provide the cooling of central air, ductless air or even a really good window unit. I have owned all of these and speak from experience. However, when you move into a condo with all kinds of restrictions about what can be visible from the exterior or constraints on the architectural structure, then the portable is the best answer.

I have owned 4 of these and three different brands. My condo has three separate major spaces, 2 smaller for bedroom suite and office/den. The main living space is larger than the max recommended for any 120 volt unit, and that is where I now have the Soleus LX140.

The two smaller spaces are cooled with GE 10,000 BTU units that I have had for 5 years. HE quit making these units the year after I bought them They are quiet and have held up and keep the spaces in the upper 70s when the ambient temperature is in the mid 90s.

I used to have and Edgestar in the main space. I live in the Seattle area so only need the cooling about 2 months a year, and then not every day. The Edgestar was the worst unit I have ever owned. It was the noisiest unit and it quit in the middle of the second season. I called the manufacturer in Texas and they said it only had a 90 day warranty. They also said they had no service reps in the Pacific NW and couldn't help. After lengthy searching, I found one person who said they fixed them. After spending over $300, it still didn't work. The service tech said he would take it to the shop and return it in "New Condition." That was a year ago and I have never seen him or the unit again.

So I bought the Soleus. I found a dealer in Portland where I knew I could get to if needed. The manufacturer is in California, I can get there pretty easily too. Also, the Soleus has a 1 year warranty. I ordered the unit and it was delivered in 7 days. I set it up immediately but found that you had to use the remote to turn on the fan oscillator. It had to be the receiver or the transmitter, but I didn't know how to tell. I called the dealer, and within a few hours I got a call back from the manufacturer. They said they would send a new remote. If it still didn't work, they would send a label and an RMA. I got the remote in three days and everything worked.

The Soleus runs about 10 db quieter than the Edgstar. My main living space has 594 square feet and with partial cathedral ceilings about 5565 cubic feet. I am on the top floor, facing southwest with ceiling to floor glass across the entire space. Without any AC, the space has reached 110 degrees when it was 95 outside in the late afternoon. Also, there are no opening windows or sliding doors, so I am venting the unit up the fire place flu.

One week we had three days in the 90's. When it reached 98 degrees outside, the Soleus kept the space at 81. When the temperature reached 85 today, the Soleus kept the space in the mid 70s.

CONS: The only con I have at this point is that the fan oscillation is vertical instead of side to side.

The next test will be longevity as to how long it will hold up. However, at this time, the Soleus LX140 has proven to be the best unit of its type that I have used and I am very impressed with the technical service assistance of the manufacturer.

This product is too LOUD for any room.

When I contacted the seller (Air & Water) there return prosess was beyond belief. I had to re Double Box the unit and ship it at a cost of approximately $382.46 and the unit cost was $489.90 a differance $107.44.

The shipment arrived in a ONE WAY carton, removal of the unit from shipping packaging required the package be distroyed.

$107.44 is a big difference for return of a $489.90 product.

I plan to contact the manufacture and inform them of their vendors return policy.

I believ Air & Water (seller) should inform buyers about the noise level on this product (NOT FOR BEDROOM)

Best Deals on Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner

This unit is about as loud as a window A/C.

It works well. It puts out plenty of cool air.

The only downside I found, was that the hoses are only long enough to put the unit under the venting window.

My application required it to be about 10' from the window.

The hose extension kits available via other vendors are poor, so I am told. I made my own via flex ductwork (Same as drier venting ducts.) from Lowes. The only problem with this set-up is that the hoses that come with the unit are 5" in diameter and most of the flex duct work come in 4" or 6". Then you have the issue of how to connect the two hoses.

I contacted the retailer about available hose extension kits for this unit. They directed me to the manufacturer who never replied to my email.

As such, I returned the unit with the blessing of the manufacturer, who was responsive to my return request.

The bottom-line is that it is a good unit for the right application.

Honest reviews on Soleus LX-140 14,000 BTU Portable Evaporative Air Conditioner

As an air conditioner this product is so so at best...... Setting up as an air conditioner is awful! The tubes on the back don't want to stay where they are supposed to. It is all VERY CHEAP plastic on the back of the unit, so trying to connect the hoses to put into an open window is so frustrating. They just keep coming unattached on BOTH ends. CHEAP, CHEAP,CHEAP.

Truly, don't bother with this product, buy a real air conditoner.

From a users perspective this combination has required very little. Keeps home at a constant 74 all year round in Sarasota Fl. And have watched power go up per kilowatt of usage.

Since this combo was installed, ( 3 years ago ), my actual bill has decreased by 18-25% a month !

Had a SEER 13 system that lasted 15 years (Bryant). The manufacturer RHEEM air handler is SEER 15.5 and Compressor is SEER 14.5, the SEER 16 is a 3rd party industry standard. Of which you will get no argument from this owner. PERFECT BUDGET VALUE FOR THE BUCK. Highly recommended.

NOTE: pick your installer very carefully as a bad installation won't always show up immediately ! My neighbor had installed the more expensive version RHEEM and the installers messed up the installation she has had nothing but problems Also check date of manufacture !
