We own one for over 6 years now. Love it. Only problem is that because it's mechanical (air pump), that eventually wears out. I think the seal in the pump need replacing. It used to to fill a cup with just one pump, but now takes 10 or more pumps.

Other than that, I love it. I am looking at purchasing a new one, the kind that uses electric pump.

I bought the electric air pot to address a number of issues that needed attention: I wanted to minimize the use of the microwave as much as possible, and I wanted to replace a diet soda pop habit with more healthful drinks. I had an electric kettle, but it was plastic and could not keep water warm throughout the day. I used to have a regular kettle, but I have lupus with some cognitive issues, and that kind of forgetfulness just doesn't mix too well with stove top cooking. I trashed two regular kettles before I got that one through my head.

After getting this product, I am wondering what I ever did without it. I no longer worry about carcinogen exposure from heating water in plastic. The air pot has a nonstick interior, but all of the research I looked at indicated that if there is any risk from unscratched nonstick surfaces, it happens only at temperatures over 350 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees. Additionally, the interior of the air pot is well-constructed, and there doesn't seem to be any way I could possibly scratch it unless I used a fork or steel wool on it.

It keeps the water a good temperature for most teas, for soups, for getting a head start on pasta or rice, and for making coffee with a french press. The water tastes much better than it tasted after boiling in my plastic kettle. I have added an appliance timer to turn on the airpot before I wake up in the morning so that I do not have to wait for my first caffeine of the day. Zojirushi makes more expensive models that take care of the timer aspect, but I didn't want to spend the extra money.

What I did spend was not too much more than I would have for a non-plastic electric kettle (which, if you look at the reviews, might very well turn out to have plastic parts that have contact with the heated water) that was safer than a regular electric kettle, that was more convenient than a regular electric kettle, and that is already saving me money. I don't drink diet soda anymore, and I don't waste old, cold coffee or tea. I can make what I need as I need it, because the hot water is always readily available.

______

Love it even MORE now!

Months later, I am using the airpot every day. It works perfectly. In addition to using it to make coffee and tea, I use the hot water to get a head start on steel cut oatmeal, pasta, rice, soup (wait, that's not a head start that's the whole thing), just as I was when I first bought it.

However, I have also started using it for non-food applications! I had no idea. Hot packs for sore muscles, in my mop bucket to clean the floor, the extra heat makes a huge difference.

Finally, I have not had any need for this information, but I was contacted by someone who read my review about finding replacement parts. According to Zojirushi's website:

"Replacement parts may be ordered from our online Zojirushi Store or from our Customer Service Department by calling 800-733-6270, M-F, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. Please have the model number ready when calling."

In short I found this airpot to provide nice hot water and be energy efficient too though I have only been testing it out for several days. As I say below, at 14.7 cents per kilowatt it uses $48.93/year. Now to be more verbose...

After completing the boil and having the water maintained at 208, I decided to check it out with a thermometer. I poured a cup and stuck the probe in, but my digital food thermometer only showed about 170F so I tried another one with similar results. Finally, I just made my self some coffee and it was nice and hot even after adding milk so so much for my thermometers. The only things I have to compare this to are my old airpot (5.5 quarts = 5.2 liters) and my 1500W electric kettle. Compared to my old airpot this one is amazing as my old one had the water barely hot. Compared to my kettle it obviously is not as hot since the kettle gives you freshly boiled water, though you can still add a bit of milk to the water from this airpot and enjoy a satisfying cup (for some reason I imagined 208F to be hotter with respect to how much milk you could add and still be left with a hot cup, but it still gives a satisfying hot cup).

After the initial boil, I remembered that I had a "P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor" (you can check it out on Amazon) which allows me to measure its electricity usage and on my unit I have entered the price of electricity as 14.7 cents per kilowatt. The longer it is connected the more accurate the reading is. Unfortunately I did not connect it before I began the boil but I hope to do so with my next main usage of the airpot this Friday (UPDATE: boiling 3 liters of water cost 3 cents). In any case, I have had it connected for 5 days now and the pot has gone down from full to 1 liter of water left and the reading says it uses $48.93/year or $0.13/day (of course this is assuming you don't add any more water to reheat when it gets low, though at 3 cents a boil it shouldn't add much to the cost) . This is quite amazing. As a comparison, my last 5.5 quart "airpot" that kept water barely hot used $144/year. My 1500W kettle costs me a penny to boil about 3 cups. My second usage had the yearly cost at $54/year but I attribute this to not using as much water in it as I did in the first time I had used it and I figure that the more in it the more energy is needed to keep the water warm.

I would definitely recommend this airpot. I was looking specifically one that did not use electronics to pump out the water and this one fit the bill.

Tevila info: For those who understand what I am talking about I dunked it on a Wednesday morning only until all surface areas of the airpot were covered before taking it out (i.e. did not wait for bubbles to stop). I left it out and open until Friday when I first used it and it worked fine.

We love this pot, and keep hot water available 24 hours--nice to grab that lunchtime soup or late-night cup of camomile tea. It is easy to use (pour in water & plug in) and pour (push down on circle which depresses on top of lid). Great value! This was a surprise appliance in the best possible way--never expeccted to like it so much or use it so constantly on the kitchen counter--good looking too! Jill

I originally purchased a different sauna from amazon for $189, but the emfs were a concern. I returned it after it set off my emf meter big time. I dont have that problem with this one. Dont get me wrong, there are emfs, but they are minimal.

I let my sauna heat up for a few minutes before using it, although I have read where you can warm up with the sauna. Its a wonderful sauna, no emf issues. I did have a few questions so I called Therasage and the person that answered the phone was very helpful, very knowledgeable, actually uses the sauna and even invited me to try out the one there in Boca Raton if I was close by. The customer service is very helpful!

Oh yes, the chair is very sturdy. I am so glad I purchased this sauna!

I've been using this sauna everyday for about a month now. It works great and haven't had any problems. Setup was easy. I get a great sweat, exactly what I wanted. I do about an hr on level 5 and start sweating at about 25 mins. I have made some adjustments, I don't use the chair, but enclose my entire body and cover opening with a blanket. I sit on a large towel. I have also fitted a piece of cardboard in the top to keep the top from sagging down on me. Works for me. Either way, it's a great sauna with different options for use. My skin is much softer, noticed immediately, and though the scales haven't registered much difference, but some(so it's not all water weight), my pants fit much better than a month ago. I do turn it on about 10 mins before I'm ready so it will be nice and toasty when I get in. Bottom line, a great little portable, convenient sauna that I'm so happy I tried. You will sweat. Very pleased. PsI'm 5'4, if you're tall, you'll be a bit more cramped, but still very usable.

I have been searching for a while to find a sauna that not only looks good, but IS good. I finally found one that fits the bill. I am always worried about fly-by-night companies that exist somewhere else in Asia and beyond. Therasage actually has an office in the USA that you can call and speak to an actual person. The sauna is very well made--I could tell as soon as I took it out of the box. It was shipped very well, and didn't smell of toxins upon removing it from the box.

I set it up in seconds and turned it on. No crazy off-gassing, no terrible smells--manual is easy to read and understand--obviously written by people with a grasp of the English language! After the 5 minute heat up I got in the sauna. Not uncomfortable in the least. At about minute 17 I was sweating profusely. It continued this way until my time was up and it beeped.

I LOVE this thing! I can fold it up out of the way if I need, it doesn't use too much electricity, doesn't smell, AND I know from watching someone online with an EMF meter that the emf's are very low for this sauna.

All in all, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to everyone. While it is not made in America, it has the qualities of a stateside product, and with a company I can actually call, it makes all the difference in the world.

I have had expensive saunas in the past, and this stacks up to them completely, but with low emf's.

The chair is comfortable, the build quality is great. I will use this thing for a long time. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Therasage Ps2002 Portable Far Infrared Sauna, Black, Large

Love this Sauna. I never could break a really good sweat in a dry Sauna, once I would start to sweat the heat would overwhelm me. With this Sauna I turn it up all the way watch TV or a movie for a hour and when I'm finished I'm wet from Sweat. Storage is easy, setup is easy. One thing to note, the instructions are not great. There is a black piece of insulation that when you unpack the unit seems to fit on the back wall of the Sauna, you need put this on the bottom, also there are plastic tubes in the front that fold down to lock the frame in place. Once these 2 items are in place the Sauna is very stable.

Grab a towel and start sweating, it's great on cold days.

I bought this sauna about 2 months ago from a different site as I was able to get a better price. I LOVE this unit. As someone who suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, I have tried many modalities to rid my body of pollutants and toxins that we get bombarded with every day. This sauna has made a HUGE difference in my life. I use it almost every day. The first few times was kind of tough because I experienced Herxheimer reaction/crisis of healing where the symptoms are more intense initially as the body is detoxing from all of the chemicals it has been exposed to. Felt like a very nasty flu. But, since I got through that phase, I have been able to maintain a healthier existence by using the sauna almost every day.

A couple of extra things I do that helps is to dry brush my body before using the sauna. I take a quick shower after brushing and before the sauna to get rid of the powdery substance/skin. My most comfortable and effective setting is #3 for the heat and I stay in it anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. I take a shower immediately afterwards using a brown sugar scrub as it is recommended to NOT use any kind of soap, etc. and I want to finish the exfoliating process. During the sauna, I have to use extra towels. I have a couple on the chair and several on the floor because I sweat like I have never sweat before. I cover my head with a towel so that the heat rises around the neck hole and I am able to get a face sauna as well.

Not only am I feeling better and am able to do much more than I was able to do just 3 short months ago, but my 58 yr old skin is looking much nicer... moisturized. The biggest reward is no more migraines. It is nice to not have to live in a "cave" to minimize the pain and nausea. Along with that is the fact that the body aches and pains are gone as well. After the first 15 minutes, I just sort of melt into the chair. The sauna takes about 2 minutes to set it up or take down. Of all the things I have done for my health over the years, this is by far one of the best.

The other positive thing with this particular unit is that the EMF is rated much lower than comparable models. As someone who is sensitive to electromagnetic fields and is using this modality to get well, I especially want to avoid "bathing" in EMFs.

The only thing I am going to change is the chair. It is just not that comfortable, but is quite sturdy and works until I can find something that will work even better.

update: 08/06/12 I found a chair that works quite well with this sauna at my local home depot for thirteen dollars and 88 cents. It is called an oversized folding bag chair and is made of the same materials as the chair that came with the sauna, but is larger, is padded, and has arm rests. It just fits in the sauna and allows me to completely relax now whereas before I always had the feeling that I needed to "hold myself up". I see that Amazon has a selection of this type of chair, but did not see a padded version.

another update: 08/31/12 One of my boys (7 yr old black lab) was feeling poorly so I decided to try putting him in the sauna and it seemed to work great for him. I removed the chair, covered the floor with old sheets and he went right inside and layed down with his nose sticking out. Since I couldn't zip it closed, I again used old sheets that were thick enough to contain the heat and draped them across the top and down the front allowing an opening of about 10 inches to be left at the bottom. He was able to leave anytime he wanted and elected to stay in for about 15-20 minutes each time. After the 3rd time/day, he was feeling much better... running around and playing tug of war with his brother. No proof that the sauna helped much &/or that he wouldn't have just gotten better over those 3 days without the sauna, but I do know that animals tend to find what they need and since he decided that he needed/wanted to be in it as much as he was... I believe it did help to some extent. especially since I offered to him again this morning and he refused.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I use two oil-filled heaters to heat my living room, dinning room and kitchen, which is an open area without walls with an area of about 600 sq ft. There were a few problems with this method. Oil-filled heaters take a long time to heat a large area and all the heat goes straight up. The Dimplex heater solved these problems.

In the morning it would take two or three hours to raise the temperature by 3 or 4 degrees. I replaced one of the oil-filled heaters with the Dimplex. Now, it takes half the time to get the house warm. Another advantage of the Dimplex is that it has a quite fan that gently blows the heat from the bottom onto the floor. Before it was very warm in the house, but the floor was like ice. Now, the heat is more evenly distributed and the floor is much warmer. I can feel the heat on the floor from over ten feet away.

The thermostat, which is just a round knob without any markings, does a good job at regulating the heat. You turn the knob up on high then when it gets warm enough you turn the knob down until you hear a click. To make it easier you could put marks on the knob so that you can better tell where to set the knob. You can also turn off the heat and just watch the flames on the logs. It has a remote that plugs into the wall outlet and you plug the heater into the remote.

At first glance, the flaming logs look very realistic. When you turn the unit completely off it still looks like there are embers burning. I assume it is because there are a few very small places on the logs that appear to have reflective colored mirrors. It is a very nice feature and makes the stove look even more realistic. I built a 2-inch high 2x2 foot freestanding hearth out of ceramic tile on a plywood base and placed it on my carpet with the heater on top. This adds to the illusion of realism and protects the carpet. Since the heater does not get hot on the top, I placed an ivy plant on it just for a little decoration. I love the whole look that it creates.

The Dimplex stove solved my heating problems. It is small enough to fit anywhere. It is portable so that I can either move it to any location or store it in the summer and it looks great. I highly recommend this heater.

Really trying to cut down on the oil use this year, so we're adding a couple of electric heaters. I got this for the den/tv room which is a decent size, but fairly well-enclosed. This thing is so easy to use, the flame looks great (kind of bizarre actually I forget it's fake) and in a short time it really heats the whole room quite comfortably. They say it's very economical to run (I'll see), but for the cost of about a quarter tank of oil it's great!

Best Deals on Dimplex CS4416 Compact Electric Stove

Quite a bit cheaper to run than my gas wall furnace and the flames look real enough. The only problem is that the motor that makes the flames move died after about two months and acehardwareoutlet only takes returns for 30 days after purchase. Anyway, Dimplex/Electralog is sending a new motor for free since they don't take returns at all and perhaps I'll have better luck this time. So if you're not comfortable with the idea of installing your own replacement parts you might want to find another option.

UPDATE:

Alright, the motor came in about 2 weeks and was a 15 rpm motor as opposed to the 10 rpm motor that was originally installed so the flame effect is a bit faster now but still fairly realistic. It took maybe an hour to install and isn't something I'd want to do every two months so I'm hoping that this one lasts a bit longer. I'll keep my review updated as conditions warrant but for now I'm happy to report that my 4416 is back in 100% working order and pumping out the BTU's.

Honest reviews on Dimplex CS4416 Compact Electric Stove

We bought this stove for our condo Christmas 2007. It gives a realistic (close enuf) flame and plenty of heat. We enjoy it very much. However, it doesn't last more than a few years. By Christmas 2010, the plastic translucent backing behind the fire image had rotted and fallen away exposing the light bulb and other 'innards' that nullified the cozy fire effect. Electralog told us we would have to get a new stove because it was 'non-repairable' as far as they were concerned. You can fix it yourself tho if you disassemble the back of the stove unit, find a similar plastic at a hardware store, and re-adhere it to the unit. That's what we ended up doing and it works fine now but you shouldn't be having these kind of problems with a product that's only 3 years old.

I got this electric stove last year because it was on sale and I needed a new space heater. This is the first electric heater I've ever had with the dancing flames feature. I totally love it. This heater makes a great substitute for a Franklin stove (and you don't have to buy, store or haul any wood or worry about leaving the embers of a live fire unattended). It's really nice to be able to have instant heat with the flip of a button and a turn of the temperature setting dial OR if you are just in the mood for the dancing flames of a fire on a summer evening, you can have that too without the heater being on! I love my stove and I'm really glad I got it. It's a constant source of comfort and joy.

I bought this heater based on the features and a good CR review as there were a limited # of reviews on Amazon. One thing I liked about this heater is it puts out heat at approx. 24" off of the floor. I use it in my home office and my two previous Holmes ceramic heaters were very low and would direct the heat into my computer air intake which wasn't very good for me or my computer. Although I really didn't think I needed a remote to change the heat settings, I find it very useful to control the oscillation or temp setting. You can change all settings manually on the front panel if you loose your remote. It seems to throw out much more heat than any of my previous 1500W heaters and easily heats my 16 x 16 ft room in short order. The LED display is well lit and the construction is fairly impressive and sturdy. The fan seems to have much more CFM than your average space heater, but without any real dicernable noise especially when on the phone etc. About the only thing I can complain about is that in the Automatic temperature control mode the unit will only run in the high 1500W mode. If you use the Auto thermostatically controlled feature and it's relatively close to you, it will get a little too warm which is easily resolved by turning the temperature down or putting it in the manual mode on low. I think for this heater to keep you warm, it doesn't really need to be within 5ft as you can place it anywhere in most rooms in the auto mode to keep the whole room temperature constant. For the cost, I don't see how anyone could complain about this heater, but I'm sure someone will! I just ordered a second one for my family room which is much larger, but I feel it will handle it with ease. I would have ordered two as I am giving one to my Mother for Christmas, but they restocked and sold out all but one in 24 hours! I'm sure that a lot more people will say good things about this heater. BTW I checked the kW per hour usage with a meter, on the high setting and it uses around 1.36 kWh or around 15 cents/hr at average electric rates, but it is very unlikely that you would need to run this heater constantly on high unless you were heating a very large room. I would assume that it would be about half that on the low setting (750W).

Great product! Immediately turns out a lot of heat but the heater itself stays cool to the touch. Love the setting to have the heater automatically monitor the room temp and switch on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature. The only thing I do not like about the heater is that after being turned off, when you turn it back on it goes straight to the heater setting instead of "remembering" that we had been using the automatic temperature monitoring setting.

I put this heater in use at the beginning of December, 2012 and kept track of the power usage with a Kill-A-Watt meter for that month. I ran it for about 8 hours every night set at 65 degrees to keep the master bedroom warm while the whole-house thermostat was set at 60 degrees. For the month of December the heater used 112.39 kwh which at my electrical rate in Michigan cost $7.83 or 25.2 cents per day. I consider this to be very good. The house is well insulated with outside storm windows on the bedroom. The bedroom is 14x17 ft with an 8 ft ceiling that slopes up to 14 ft.

The only downside that kept it from getting five stars is that it is a bit noisy.

I bought this milk frother largely because of its stainless steel look, and price is good. The quality is beyond my expectation, and it works just as expected. I have used manual forther before, this frother makes consistent creamy long-lasting foam. All I need to do is pour milk in right out of fridge and press the button. Other things I like: It makes hot froth and cold froth. There is a spout for easy pouring. Cleaning is easy too, and there is a brush come in the package for reaching and cleaning under the rotation drive.

Just got this toy a few days ago, already used it many times. Easy to use, just pour the milk in, press the power button once, in about 2 minutes, it turns all the milk into hot froth. Press and hold power button for 2 second, the machine froth only without heating, the froth is good for iced drinks. Very clean, no spill at all and the machine is very quiet.

The first frother I received was defective. The replacement works perfectly. I love the clean design and heavy stainless steel construction. A choice of two whisks allows for either a little or a lot of froth, and it produces it quickly either hot or cold. If you choose to heat the milk, it heats it gently. The appliance is easy to clean with a non-stick interior and included brush.

A word about the defective item: The return of the defectinve item to Amazon was pleasantly painless and I received a full refund, but what really impressed me was the response from Lafraise. I was immediately contacted by their customer service department and offered a replacement at no charge. I have been in customer service for 42 years, and this is how you win customers. Lafraise didn't have to contact me or offer a replacement, but this is clearly a company that understands the importance of customer satisfaction. I am definitely satisfied.

I LOVED this frother and used it almost daily. Suddenly today it appeared as though it frothed the milk, but the milk leaked from the unit and was hot, but not frothed. Dang! I cleaned it after each use, as directed and had no problems until today....only 5 weeks after I started using it!

UPDATE: 2/22/13 Secura, Amazon, and Lafroise are ALL amazing! After posting my initial review, Amazon was willing to make an exception and accept my return, although I was outside the return period. In the meanwhile, I had contacted Secura, the manufacturer. They responded within hours and offered to send me a replacement immediately, with a prepaid label to return my unit at my convenience. Kelly and the customer care team at Secura were courteous, professional, and very helpful. Next thing I knew I got a message from Lafroise telling me the unit had a 2 year warranty and to return it to them for replacement. Well, you cannot ask for better customer service.

I don't think you could go wrong buying this product. I am unsure what went wrong with my unit, but sometimes things happen. I am impressed and happy that the Manufacturer, the retailer, and Amazon ALL stood by their product and went the extra mile to make it right. Secura offers a two year warranty--double most others. Can't wait for my replacement...miss my soy lattes!

We bought this unit in January 2010 for use in our small RV. We used it on two trips. On the second one, the heater suddenly gave us a fireworks display of tiny sparks. It kept working, but we were uncomfortable using it without "supervision." Kind of like having a bad dog in the house. We couldn't use it overnight, for instance. Didn't think much about it over the summer, but we just plugged it back in to clean up the RV. It immediately sparked again. This time it smelled like an electrical fire and quit heating. It's in the dumpster.

The heater worked okay for a couple days, had a slight odor and was slightly noisy but not too bad. However, then it seemed to burn out. The light would come on and the fan would spin, but no heat would come out.

I am so bummed. I studied so many reviews before purchasing this space heater. This specific heater didn't have many reviews, but from what I read all over Amazon.com, Optimus is a great brand and this heater was very affordable. I only had it for 3 months and saw a little flame and heard a zap (that sounded like a bug zapper) and quickly turned it off. Of course it is past the Amazon return policy, so what a waste of money! I wish I knew how to contact the seller directly to get a replacement. I know that it is beyond the return policy, but they should make an exception for a fire hazard! Very scary. I'm glad I was in the room when it happened so I could turn it off as quickly as possible.

I spent quite a while reviewing different fireplaces from different vendors. When I saw this one I fell in love with it. The "shipment" status stated about a week to 3 weeks for delivery so, I was very impressed when it arrived in less then a week. The instructions for putting it together were very specific and all the "holes and notches" fit perfectly. For the price the product is more then worth buying. Thank you, Kim
