This heater worked fine for about a year but now, only the low setting works. The high setting no longer works. Chinese made crap you get what you pay for and Sylvania is at the lower end of the scale.

Customer Ratings:

I considered giving this a 1 star but since it does turn on I gave it a 2 star. This unit has an automatic shut-off if it gets too hot. The problem is that if you turn this thing on it overheats in a few minutes and shuts off. The manual says wait 10 minutes and try it again.. Guess what it over heats again and shuts off.. I'm not even turning this thing on high. 1/2 way on the dial gets this unit to overheat and shut-off in a few minutes.. This heater is basically unuseable. A few minutes of heat is not enough heat to do anything.. I would send this back but the hassle of returning it is more than the money I spent on this.. My recommendation is don't buy this... I have a little 800 watt heater that puts out less btu's but at least it runs for as long as I have it turned on...

I wanted a reasonably priced water heater that also provides nice functions. I was a little worried after reading the first review about the burn marks, but to my surprise it has gotten great reviews elsewhere, so I decided to give it a try.

Funny that when I received the package I was deliberately looking out for signs of previous usage or burn marks. But it was brand new. Shiny stainless steel tank. Now it has worked perfectly for me for about a month, no any marks whatsoever. I feel it is a good idea to provide this review, so people don't just walk away from this nice water heater and possibly go for something more expensive but inferior.

I did realize that there is a stainless steel exterior version of this heater and tend to be about 10-15 dollars more expensive than this one. But if you check the manufacturer's website, both versions are priced almost the same. So you are spending extra for the look.

Other pros than the product description you can read above:

--very well built

--nice size tank

--great easy to read instructions

--energy saver features (save energy during night)

--to me, it boils water fast, so fast I never realized the wait, but maybe it is due to that I don't always fill it to full

--comparatively quiet

Cons:

--it can be a little shaky, because the base enables rotation towards any direction, which is supposed to be a nice feature if you have a kitchen island, but if you don't need to turn it from time to time, not so useful. But as long as you put it on really stable surface like kitchen counters, you are fine.

Thanks for reading.

This product came looking totaly diff from the picture here in Amazon (I did post some actual picture of the product) but manage to be a wonderfull suprice for me. I totaly love the stainless steal version of this product it gives it a more modern look to it now for the pro & cons.

PROS:

Products seems to be well build and feels solid wont be supprice if this one last as long or longer than my old one which is around 3 years.

Come with great instruction one that actually make sence. And I know you know what I'm talking about.

Energy saver features of this product is great I can time it to switch off at night and by the next morning you got hot water waiting for you knowing the unit is not eating up electricity all through the night.

Safety features of this product is great for family who have kids around. (the unit wont dispence hot water unless electronically unlock first.

3 way to dispence hot water, including a manual one which is great if the unit is in sleep mode. GREAT THINKING GUYS!

CONS:

It takes a little long for it to boil water if all the water inside is tap cool but reboil is quick

Safety unlock feature button is starting to show sign of use not bad but noticable.

Be carefull where to put it cause the top do vent a lot of steam when boiling water so please make a note of that before initial operation of the product.

All in all great product worthy of 5 star in my book and highly recomended

I loved everything about this appliance, except it doesn't have auto shutoff on low water level. If you don't check the water level (which is a screwy arrangement of diagonal lines) and try to dispense when the level is too low, it will sputter out. Then, if you don't turn it off right away (even the time it takes to go grab more water), it will overheat and damage the thermostat. I also got that information from Aroma's customer service line (known problem). Other heaters on this site have this feature. And it will be inevitable that it will happen sooner or later to you with this appliance.

Honest reviews on Aroma Hot Water Central 4-Quart Air Pot/Water Heater

Before buying this product I used a Zojiarushi brand in a condo I was renting. When I bought my own place I wanted my own -it was so convenient -but was a little put-off by the price of Zojiarushi. Aroma cost less, but it is easily as nice! I can't find anything inferior about it at all! I especially love how easy it is to dispense and that it locks after a couple of minutes.

Thank you Aroma!

When it arrived it was defective and did not work. The seller refunded my money and told me to dispose of the water heater, so I decided to open it up and see if I could find out what was wrong.

The manufacturer in China made the wiring harness for the circuit board too short, so almost half of the connectors had pulled away from the circuit board. I moved some wires around I was able to reconnect them to the circuit board without them pulling out again. I Plugged it in and it worked perfectly!

So, while I love the features such as the choice of manual pump, push button pump, cup switch and 3 temperature settings, the quality control seems to be lacking, and it is not very well insulated. The outside is quite warm when in use.

One more thing, the water will not dispense when it is heating up. The boiling cycle needs to complete before the water pump will work, but you can still use the manual pump if you don't want to wait.

I got mine from tracter supply during a sales push with a rep. from comfort there.I have been a HVAC repair person for years. Their Rep. answered all my questions and I bought one Thinking I had 30 days and would return it if I did not like it. Before I pluged it in I read my meter. I ran it about 12hrs a day for a month read my meter again and was very happy to see after doing the math it cost me $36.00 more on my electric bill for heat for the month. Happy because if I ran my propane it cost me on a average of $9.00 per day. this little furnace cost $1.20 day. I use 600 gal. of propane a heating season times $2.89 a gal. this year = $1734.00 for the season. And the room is in is 72 not 68. This month is colder and I still have not turned my propane furnaceIt has been heating the whole house.I live in michigan. I will up date after my next meter reading . My house is a 1167 sq.ft. ranch.

Im back to update you after a full winter and into the middle of feb. this winter. I will still say get one . I changed propane supplyers this summer and started with a full tank 500 gal. 90% full. as of 15 feb. I am at 45%. any year befor I would have filled some time in jan. and well into my second tank of propane. At night I turn my gas furnace down to 64 and my litter heater off in the morning I turn them both on set my stat at 68 the gas furnace will run and heat up the whole house and the comfort furnace takes over after a hour or so the main furnace will not run again unless its around 0 deg. My electric bill has gone up about $30 to $35 a month. Thats way cheaper than propane. I have had No issues or problems with this unit .

This heater is quiet and performs as advertised. Remote function is a bit of a challenge for the non-electronically minded, but overall, I would highly recommend it.

Best Deals on Tuscan Walnut Comfort Furnace Infrared Heater UV

We have this heater installed in a 14 x 16 sun/family room with cathedral ceiling that connects openly to the adjacent kitchen. It's a very nice room setup with one caveat, the sun/family room has an atrium door with side lights that opens onto our side deck....and the DOGS, oh my gosh, in and out All Day. The manufacturers instructions specifically state that you should Not place the heater by an exterior door but I find it works Very well behind the couch, between the couch and the exterior door. We don't have a cold chill running across the floor anymore and when the sun starts to go down and the room begins to cool off, the heater cranks up like it was made for the room. Why we waited 14 years to put a heater in this area is beyond me.

The advertised 'timer' and HVAC sync are useless in our application. Actually, the 'timer' function is not a 24 hour timer and Does Not allow you to set the the heater to turn on and off on a scheduled basis. I believe it's only function is to stay on for a single period of time and turn itself off when that period of time has elapsed. Worse, the controls are electronic which defeats the idea of plugging the heater into a wall timer. So, you must turn it on when you need and remember to turn it off when you don't, like when your leaving the room for extended periods.

The HVAC sync might be useful if the heater were placed in the same area as the thermostat but where we have it placed, the air temp flucuates more widely because of all the window area. But that's why we bought it..to control a local area, not heat the house.

I whole heartedly endorse the UV lamp feature. We use them in my hospital because they work. The fan is noticable only if you are attentive to such things. Otherwise it's something you can easily tune out. And the case is really finished very nicely. It's not furniture so don't expect perfect woodworking but the Tuscan Walnut has a real wood look to it and the color is rich, not fake in appearance.

Finally, this unit will pull some current when in operation. If you have it plugged into a circuit with an old 15 amp breaker, it'll trip..especially if you have any other high current draw appliance plugged into the same circuit and in operation. We have it plugged into a circuit with a couple of floor lamps and the TV. The lamps dim when the heater starts up, but the breaker does not trip.

In our specific application, I rate this unit a 5 without reservations for basic functionality and a 4.5 overall for the addition of advertised 'features' that don't really work well imho, but for which I am most assuredly paying extra. Note: We have only had it two weeks so I can not attest to the units longevity. I will post an update after the winter is over.

The Seller: must have shipped it rush, it came in two days! Thanks golfstorehomecom!

Honest reviews on Tuscan Walnut Comfort Furnace Infrared Heater UV

We bought this unit from Tractor Supply during a Black Friday sale ($299). Figured I would give it a try. The first couple of days/evenings it worked great. However, upon further use and closer inspection, this unit is only average. The heater does good job maintaing a level of heat in our living room/dining room. The two are connected through a large open doorway and the two rooms combined are about 500 square feet and there are open doorways to other rooms off them.

I have tried using just the heater to heat our rooms, and the unit is only able to raise the house temp up to 62 degrees despite being set to 70-75. However, if I turn the furnace on and let it warm the house to say 64 and then turn the heater on when the furnace is finished; the heater is usually able to keep the house at 66. Bottom line, it is a different type of heat. If you think it will heat like a small pellet stove, it won't. Will it heat your house? doubtful. Will it heat a single room. Sure.

Works well, no problems and I've had it on solidly for about a month now. Not sure what impact it will have on my electric bill but I'm sure it'll balance out with the lower oil heating bill since the furnace has rarely had to come on. Tip: Use it with a nearby humidifier for best results.

Be very careful not to tilt unit when transporting it if tilted it MUST sit for at least two hours before starting it. This unit has worked well continuously for two weeks. I put it on a sill-height table so that the water would drain well and the exhaust tube would be straight. My only complaints are:

1. The fan never goes off no matter what setting it is on (the compressor does go off, but not the fan).

2. When cooling, a lot of heat is generated in the exhaust hose an insulation sleeve would be nice.

3. The drain tube is way too short.

The machine was fairly easy to set up, and it does cool the room reasonably well, but I was expecting a heat pump....not so----according to the documentation received with the machine, there is an auxiliary heater, NOT a heat pump. We will see how well this heater works this winter. One other thing....the fan runs continuously, it does not shut off when the compressor kicks off, and it is fairly noisy.

This unit has kept my kitchen down to 77 with its thermostat set on 72 during the summer's first 90-plus days here. Not bad, since I knew I was buying a portable (and therefore less efficient) A/C instead of a window or through-the-wall unit.

The salesman told me it had an internal bucket to collect the water, and that it would shut off automatically when full. He said it didn't have automatic evaporation of the moisture created by cooling and dehumidifying, which is common in modern portable A/C units, but I was fine with having an internal bucket and automatic shutoff. Just like the various dehumidifiers I've owned. However, after I'd paid a separate contractor to bring this very heavy unit to my home (the appliance store considered it "cash and carry" and therefore ineligible for their usual delivery service), I found out that it has no internal bucket. The owner has to attach a garden hose and use an external bucket, which will merrily overflow if the unit is left running with no one at home to empty that bucket as needed. Since the drain hose plug is lower than most windows, putting the hose out the window and letting it drain outside isn't practical unless the A/C unit can be raised off the floor.

The air exhaust hose does just love to come loose, and duct tape is the answer. Also, you'll need to either take the whole hose assembly out of the window so you can shut the window against heavy, wind-driven rain; or you'll need to rig some sort of outside cover for the hose, because that hose leads down into the machine and it's just begging to funnel rain inside.

Overall this unit meets my needs, but it wouldn't if I had hoped to leave it running while away from home for long periods of time. I have no idea why Frigidaire thinks an external drip bucket is a great idea, or why they can't come up with a better air exhaust hose design. From a major brand name, in an expensive machine, I expected better.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA12EPT1 12,000 BTU Portable Heat/Cool Air Conditioner

My ancient apartment has almost no ventilation throughout and is always ten to fifteen degrees hotter than outside. Those crazy summer heatwaves sometimes get my room into the high 90s and as high as 105-110! It is unbearable. I could no longer take the sleepless nights in the heat and picked up one of these units. I had to "ghetto rig" the exhaust hose up to the crank out style window using a ton of cardboard and duct tape. I have it sitting on a metal computer desk that is level with the window sill.

Pros:

-Will drop the temp of the room around ten-fifteen degrees and keep it there. While not as great a window mounted unit, I'll gladly take 85 degrees over 95. The best performance I've seen so far is walking into my room @ 85 degrees and eventually getting it down to 70 (took 6 hours of continuous use).

-Remote.

-Timer so you don't end up running it all night.

-Not as loud as I was expecting it.

Cons:

-Produces a ton of water via the drain. It took no time to fill up a five gallon bucket.

-Air blows straight up. I had to rig a piece of cardboard to deflect the cold air into the rest of the room instead of straight into the ceiling and back towards the hot exhaust tube.

-The exhaust hose always comes loose from the unit

-Exhaust hose is not as flexible as I was hoping.

A quick tip I'd like to provide is sealing up all the doors and windows leading into the room you have the unit working in. The edges around my door have huge gaps that let in tons of hot air from the rest of the apartment. Some foam sealant tape and a door sweep helped with those problems and contribute to keeping the room cool.

The unit cools well and is reasonably quiet, but it leaks onto the floor (drain hose is hooked-up and functioning). The exhaust hose flange mounting is marginal as one locking tab has failed. Not the end of the world, but I've enough things to fix.

For 2 years I have worked in an office where war has been fought over the ambient temperature. Some like it cool and some like it very hot. I am a "like it cool" dude.

Now that spring is here, the war is back on this soldier is sick of fighting. I decided to buy a fan, but (darn) which one? It seems there are millions out there. After reading reviews, I decided to purchase this fan.

It arrived and I was initially put-off by its small size. Don't let the small size fool you. This fan, on the slow speed, moves ample air and is whisper quiet. It does the job and does it well. Now I am not as warm and am uber content not being caught up in the temperature battles.

I do not recommend this Lasko if you sleep with a fan at night. It has 2 speeds and is too quiet at the lowest speed to provide the "white noise" that us urban dwellers around the world have come to rely on.

Overall, 2 thumbs up, way up, on this fan as an office companion

Pros:

1) QUIET

2) Moves ample air

3) Small and takes up little desk-top real estate

4) Attractive

5) Oscillates

Cons:

1) Not loud enough to sleep with (only a con if you want night noise)

POSITIVES

Love the color, relatively compact size, and fan speeds. Low is great for desktop or personal fan as long as it's not blowing right on papers. Oscillation makes a good sweep too.

CONS

Too tall if you need this to fit under an overhead bin in an office cubicle. The machine also has a moderately-high pitched whir/whine that is louder than the sound of the air blowing. I returned the first one and the second one was quieter the first time I plugged it in, then just as noisy as the first one. I could hear the whir/whine from another room even on low speed. If your office is not super-quiet or you are not using this as white noise it's still a great choice. Otherwise I'd keep looking.

There are only 2 buttons:

1st button 1) Power On/Hi 2) Low speed 3) Off

2nd button 1) Oscillation On 2) Oscillation Off

Pros:

+ Love its compactness.

+ Very light. Easy to move from room to room.

+ Generally more quiet operation than most fans.

+ Oscillating

+ Only around 23 watts

Cons:

If you need more wind power, look somewhere else.

Oscillating range is pretty limited. Maybe just around 10-25 degrees.

Made in China.

This is the best $29 (current price w/shipping) you will ever spend. It's the tall, silent type, except it's not overly tall at about 12 inches or so in height.

Quiet, good looking, powerful, takes up minimal space, and just an extremely well-designed and engineered product. It also can "oscilate" or swings back and forth slowly if you want it to. Nice going Lasko.

So quiet, on the "low" speed it's hard to hear that it is even on.

My only small complaint is that the indicator lights that show it is on are kind of bright if it's in your bedroom and all the lights are out, but I just put a small piece of tape on the switch light to tone down the brightness. During the day, or for office use, or for less sensitive people (which is most people) this is a non-issue.

I predict it will be the most popular fan in the world once the word catches on. So get yours now, show it to your friends and neighbors and they will get one too!

This is the 3rd winter I have had this stove, and my wife and I are very impressed as to how it has performed. Our family room is in the rear of our house (added on), and it has always been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. Since I didn't have either natural gas or propane at my house, I researched everything carefully before my purchase. I ended up having my local propane company provide a 100 gallon tank (it usually lasts at least a full year), and I installed a flexible gas line to the new location. It was actually pretty simple for anyone who is handy with tools.

Since the installation, we have found we can decrease the thermostat setting for our house furnace a full 5 degrees and be perfectly comfortable in the family room. There was a noticeable drop in our overall heating costs the past 3 years. When you add that to the ambiance of having a fireplace, and the fact that there is no mess involved, this is one of my best purchases.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and needed a natural gas heater solution. After searching the internet, this stove seemed to meet my needs due to its high BTU rating, nice looks and some comments made by folks on various websites. However, once installed, it did not work. After several calls to customer service, it turned out that this stove does not work over 4,500 feet elevation (I am at 7,000 ft). Nowhere did it say this anywhere in all of the sales brochures published nor on anyone's website. Customer service did say it this information was posted on their website. However, I did not buy it from their website. Anyone who lives at higher altitude should avoid this product.

I was concerned if this would work at my home at 7,800 feet. It was very difficult to heat above 60 degrees with large windows in the front of the house. Another reviewer gave it a single star for not working at 7,000 ft. and mentioned he was using Natural Gas which may have been his problem. I have a 500 gallon LP tank and use it for central heat and the kitchen stove. Propane is under a higher pressure than Natural Gas. It worked so well I installed one heater in my bedroom. I have it at the lowest heat setting when it is 18 degrees outside at night. I no longer need my electric blanket and my dog loves sleeping in front of it.

One of these stoves is the Living Room under a large picture window. It works like a charm. I no longer close the blinds and have a great view of the snow capped mountains around the house. This raised my living room 15 degrees in a lttle over an hour. I did not purchase the blower for the unit since I have ceiling fans. I just turned them to rotate clockwise and the air is "sucked up" and distributed around the room. I no longer heat the whole house but just the rooms I use.

After getting out of the shower in the morning I can wear a towel while roaming around the house still dripping wet, make coffee and take my time getting dressed before going out into the snow to get my newspaper and clearing the driveway.

After all the work it is nice to have these "space" heaters keeping me warm in previously "cold" rooms.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Stove - 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T

I bought this two months ago and finally had it installed today. I cannot say enough how great this little stove is! We bought it for a renovated basement area for warmth and ambiance and it gives plenty of both. We did not purchase the blower because the room is only 400 sq ft, and I can say for sure now, it wasn't needed for us. The instant heat filters out at a pretty decent pace and the room is warm within minutes.

I put this together on my own with no problems, and the install went smoothly. I chose this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on other websites and also because of the price. Our installer was very impressed with it and plans to recommend it to others as well.

Best of all, it is very attractive. Before it was even installed we had it sitting out during a party and it became a topic of admiring conversation: our guests asked us to invite them back to enjoy the fireplace after the install.

I noticed an earlier reviewer that was angry mentioned receiving a different model, and I want to point out, we ordered from this seller but the fireplace is slightly different than the picture above. But fret not I think it's much nicer! There is no 'ProCom' logo on the front. I was happy about this because I thought it looked a little cheap with that. So I have to say I am 100% happy!

****** Update

We've now had this in use every day for a few weeks. It is in our basement, and we have found that it is not 'overwhelmingly hot' in our space because much of the hot air rushes up the stairs and is also heating the first floor of our home, so we've hardly even had to run the home furnace at all. It makes all the rooms feel comfortable and cozy. WOW. I can't wait to see how much this lowers our winter gas bill!

I purchased an antique home in the summer and was told the floor furnace was great by the inspector. When winter came, after the house filled with gas TWICE had to disconnect. After a winter with no heat (and of course no water since pipes freeze), I was a VERY motivated buyer. This little stove (with the blower) sits in my living room. The 1100 sq. ft. house has no other heat system. Even when temperatures drop to below 0, my house is toasty warm. Because my house has doors and halls all over the place, I do place a floor fan in front of the hall from the living room towards the bedrooms. This helps move the warm air into the bedrooms and bathroom. Houses of similar size and from the same time period with central heat on my block run around 150 dollars a month to heat in the winter. My house runs between 20 and 35 dollars a month. The temperature is kept on 55 when I am gone during the day and 70 at night. However, it only takes a short time for the little stove to warm up the place. Also, I have hard wood floors. My stove doesn't sit on a platform of any kind. There has been no damage to the floor in the 6 years the vent free stove has been heating my home. A bonus is that the heat dries clothes on a little wood drying rack within hours. This saves money, is "green", and puts some humidity back into the house. Another added bonus is the flickering of the flames. They are just a delight to watch dancing after the lights are out on a cold winter's night.

The 1000 watt heater is a good choice for the space. The thermostat is better than the one in the Newtone.

The fan (a squirrel-cage blower) in the Broan is NOISY. Although the blower fan is quieter, the motor mount is such that there is a lot of AC HUM vibration. So, the rating of 3 stars It's OK but NOISY!

The Optimus heater I ordered lasted for nearly two months before the heater element quit working.

The warranty states that the shipping cost for repair is $25.00.

This piece of junk didn't even last a month. The fan quit & it almost started a fire! I bought it for work. Now I'm gonna be cold all day today, off to my local hardware store after work to buy something better.

Bought this item through Amazon which they shipped 7 Jun 2012. Today 20 Aug 2012 I phoned the Wagan Corp to let them know that their item was faulty. I went on to explain that the DC adaptor cord was faulty and the fridge would not work, they said the cords that came with the item are not coverd by their warranty. The warranty in the manual did not disqualify any thing being exempt from the warranty. Would suggest not buying from a company which does not stand behind their products as shipped.

We just used this item on a two week trip. Our purpose was to keep some medication cool and have cool water. It worked on both counts within minutes the inside is cool. Remember to unplug it at night. It apparently only took about six hours to drain an Explorer battery. (It was still cool inside in the morning.) Lesson learned. These things cool to about 40 degrees below ambient, so in an air conditioned car it worked great. During short stops (up to two hours) we left it on and even though the inside car temp got to 100F the cooler was able to maintain a good cool environment. For what it is, and for the power it draws (45 watts or so?) it does the trick. It's not a refrigerator it's a cooler and for that it saved us from having to buy ice on the trip. I'm very happy with it. If the unit had more insulation is world be less useful because it would take up two much room in the car the size was just right for our needs.

This cooler works very well when you put pre-chilled items in it. It has no problem keeping cold things cold (at least in the moderate temperatures I've used in it, so far).

It works OK with things that are room temperature IF you're willing to wait long enough for it.

I used it on a trip where I put leftovers from a restaurant in the cooler and plugged it in overnight at the hotel. In the morning everything was chilled. Cooled, not icy cold, but definitely a safe temp. It was probably about 7 hours, maybe 8.

When I got it I experimented with putting 6 cans of beer at room temp. in the cooler and leaving it overnight to see how cold they would be in the morning (not that I was planning to DRINK them in the morning, I just figured that beer would be something that is actually important to serve cold, not warm).

For the first test I somehow flipped the switch from "cooler" to "warmer" and didn't notice it. I SHOULD have noticed it because when in "cooler" mode the fan is on, the fan does not run in "warmer" mode. While this test obviously failed the "can it chill room temperature beer test," I did discover a few things. One, the "warmer" mode works really well and will warm up your beer so much that it will explode out of the cans while they are still in the cooler and make a great big mess. Two, it's very easy to accidentally switch into "warmer" mode. Three, whenever it's plugged in and the fan is not on, assume it is in "warmer" mode. Four, hot beer makes a nasty breakfast drink,

For the second "can it chill room temperature beer test" I made sure that it was in "cooler" mode, which is easy to do by ensuring you can hear the fan running. The beer was colder in the morning and certainly drinkable. (Did I drink it in the morning, or did I wait until at least noon?) Was it like the icy sensation depicted in beer commercials? No, but it was way better than the aforementioned hot beer.

Because keeping beer cold is so enjoyable, I also conducted a test where the 6 cans were started at refrigerator temperature and remained nicely so after a night on the "cooler" setting.

Here are some tips to success with this cooler (from my experience, you don't need any tips to make this work well as a warmer).

Most importantly, you have to buy an AC to DC adpater like the Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter or similar. It needs to be 5 amps or more. You can NOT use one of those little wall wart style cigarette lighter adapters. You don't need it if you're ONLY going to use it in your car (with the car running!!!). You will find your car battery completely dead and perhaps damaged from over-discharge in the morning if you try to leave it plugged into your vehicle over-night.

It does seem to help to pre-chill the cooler for 20-30 minutes before putting stuff in it. I don't think this is completely necessary if you will be putting stuff in that is already cold and leaving it powered on while in transport. If you're going to put in room temperature stuff, then I think pre-chilling is a good idea.

The cooling (and I suppose heating) element of the cooler is in the bottom of the storage area. You can easily see it in the product photos. It's the lighter colored area on the inside in the photo where you're looking down into the open cooler from above. It would probably make more sense to have the cooling element on the TOP so that the coldness would come down onto the beer, or food. That wouldn't work so well for warming, but let me remind you how gross it is to drink hot beer. Anyways, that's how it is. To improve the efficiency, I always place a napkin or plastic bag over the top of the beer, or food, to make the cooling area smaller and more isolated. I can't say for certain that this makes a difference, but it probably does help a little. It's also useful to have a napkin around, because by the time you get to finishing that sixth beer, you'll probably have spilled a little on yourself.

The manual says not to use ice in conjunction with the cooler. I don't know why not. I haven't done this yet, but I think it's a good idea. On it's own without power, it is still an insulated, "sealed" container (maybe not super good insulation, but better than a paper bag). Put a bowl of ice on the kitchen counter and a bowl of ice your refrigerator. Which melts first? Right. So using ice (or probably better to use Blue Ice or similar) should help to keep things colder in warmer outside temperatures and/or lengthen the effective cooling time of the ice or ice substitute. I don't care what the manual says here. I'm using some ice packs on my next long usage, even if that means I can only fit in 5 cans of beer at a time (actually, it does hold 9 regular cans just fine, but just in case you want to also have some food).

MAKE SURE IT'S ON "COOLER" MODE!!! If you don't, it won't work as a cooler, and may in fact actually be on "warmer" mode, which might be bad!

Lastly, don't expect miracles from this little thing. Tasking it with cooling a 6 pack from room temperature is not really fair. Liquids can absorb and retain way too much energy before you notice a real change in temperature, especially for drinking. If you can, try to pre-chill your beer in some cold water for a little while, like a stream, or cold water from the tap, or wrapped in wet towels to use evaporative cooling. Then put in the cooler.

I can think of very few instances where you would want to use this as a warmer, but in case you do, it can do it, and do it very well. I guess they include that function because it's just as easy to make it work that way once the thermoelectric system is in place. I dunno. I think it's weird (and annoyingly easy to cook your beer).

The other biggest complaint I've seen in the other reviews is the noise level. All of the noise comes from the fan. The thermoelectric cooling/heating itself is silent. There is no fan for the "warmer" mode and you would never know it's on until you start hearing your beer cans explode in the middle of the night and wonder what the heck that strange sound is and where it is coming from and why your room smells like a dive bar. The "cooler" mode needs the fan to blow the hot air away from the heat sink. Yes, you can hear it in a hotel room. Yes, it's sorta loud. Is it terribly annoyingly loud? Not really. It's white noise. Really bothering you? Put it in the closet and close the door.

I also take advantage of the air discharge from the fan to keep the AC-to-DC adapter cool. Determine where the most air is being blown out and place the little box for the adapter in the air stream. The little adapter box does get warm, especially after several hours and this helps to keep it reasonably cooled off. Also the plug where you connect the adapter to the power cord (the male/female cigarette lighter adapter pieces) gets a little warm, too, so I also place this in the fan discharge area.

The only thing that really concerns me is the hinges for the door appear a little weak, but so far so good and I'll just continue to be careful about them.

Overall, I'd recommend this product as long as you temper your expectations (get it? "temper?") and follow the tips I noted above.

Update:

FYI, the CLA power cord is just over 6 feet long. Plenty long enough to reach from the front console to the back seat area (but not the rear cargo area of an SUV).

Another update: Overall it seems pretty durable. I manage to drop it from about waist height, loaded with food, onto a hard surface. It showed no signs of damage and still works just fine. Of course, food weighs less than beer, so I can't say that the results would have been the same had it been loaded with beer. But really, if you make a habit of dropping your beer, you've got different issues.

I bought this cooler for a family road trip. Just before we left I filled it with 6 bottles of orange juice from the fridge the night before and put them inside. They were still nice and cool when we drank them. There was still plenty of room for yogurt, string cheese and apples for the kids. I love how it helps us save money and eat better by bringing our own healthy snacks from home instead of stopping for fast food when the kids get hungry. The cup holders are a nice addition too.

My wife and I had to make a 5 hour trip to a neighboring state to visit family. We had medication that needs to be kept refrigerated and at the hotel/motel we were staying at over the weekend, they did not offer a fridge in the room. So instead of getting a cooler and playing the "dump and refill the ice" game, I opted to purchase this product. As some other users have pointed out, this is a cooler, not an actual fridge. Perhaps calling the product a "personal fridge" could be misleading. The price was decent, compared to some others out there and it does keep things cool (have not yet tried the warmer). Our jeep had a cigarette lighter plugin that still pumped out power when the jeep was turned off, so in short instances where we had to stop for dinner/lunch, the cooler kept on working. One thing to note in the instructions, it does say not to leave it plugged in that way and make sure you unplug it before starting the vehicle again this little cooler does suck some battery power.

I ended up having to buy a converter to be able to plug the power into the wall socket from a cigarette lighter. DO NOT USE the converters that are used for cell phones! They do not output enough amps. I made this mistake and it melted the converter that was plugged into the wall. Wagan does sell a converter that is made this product. Since I was already in the middle of my trip, I bought a similar converter from the local W-mart and picked up a Coleman branded converter. It worked and the cooler kept the meds cool for the next 2 days without incident. For what I bought it to do, it did the job well. The only cons to this product is that the product looks and feels a little cheaply made and labels that are placed in the front of the switches, looked like it was (crookedly) placed there by a child. Other than that it is a decent product.
