This is actually my first time writing a review for any purchase I've ever made online and I frequently shop online; I felt compelled to put my feedback and stamp of approval on this product. For the price this is a great deal.

First and foremost: I did a lot of research and browsing both on and off of Amazon to find out safety concerns regarding space heaters. As many of you may see if you've been browsing other units, people complain that some units become very hot, as well as their plugs/cords, and that they pose a fire hazard. For this reason I did my research and not only does this unit have a tilt shut off (unit needs to be flat on the ground, if lifted it will auto shut) it also has a feature that if it overheats the unit will also shut off. These are both great features, I'm all about safety first.

Aside from these features, the heater works great for me. As others say, the fan is a bit weak, but this also makes the unit extremely quiet. Regardless of the fan being weak, this little unit does a great job of heating a medium sized bedroom. Set it on high, after about 30 minutes you feel a noticeable difference; walk away for an hour or two and the area will be very warm. Get the area you want to the right temp and set it on low and this unit will do a good job of maintaining the heat. After about 6 hours of use I was still able to touch the front grill of the unit and it was hot but not enough to burn me. Turn the fan setting on and the grill will be completely cool to the touch in under a minute. Also the cord and plug are both well insulated and have never even felt warm after hours of use.

On top of all this, I think not only is the unit being quiet and working well very attractive, but I also really like that there is no element that heats up orange on this unit. So not only is it quiet, but it is also not emitting disturbing light.

All in all I am very pleased with this unit. It serves my purposes quite well, it was a reasonable price, and the safety features make this unit a complete winner in my book. Do yourself a favor, spend a few extra dollars whether on this heater or a different one and make sure you get the safety features, its well worth it to have the piece of mind; protect yourself and the ones you love.

This heater was exactly what I was looking for. It's small, easy to use and quickly heats up my fairly-large family room. The room is build on a slab, so it is drafty and cold. This does the trick. In fact, if I leave it on for a couple of hours, it heats the entire first floor of my colonial house. I highly recommend it!

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Citadel Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater/Fan CZ488

I live in a very old house with a poorly functioning heater. I live in Kansas and we have wickedly harsh winds that rip through the shoddy windows very swiftly. My room maintained a temp of about 40 degrees when it's below freezing outside.

I have this space heater in my room which is approx 12x9ft.

First night I plugged it in on high, had to get up two hours later because I was sweltering hot. I typically only turn it on after dark when it gets very cold outside and when I do I only need it on the low setting.

The safety feature I love a great deal is that if it's not completely level flat on its base it turns it's heating, rotating and fan elements off. You hear a click if you try to scoot it and trigger it. This does not require you to turn the knob to get it going again, just place it back on a level surface.

A GREAT buy, similar items are twice the cost at department stores. I am extremely pleased.

Hope this review helped!

I bought this heater because I own a programmable thermostat (WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat) that works with analog heat/AC devices. (Basically, you plug your analog heater/AC unit into it, and when the temp gets to a certain level, it activates the plug, starting the heater/AC.) My plan was to use the two devices together to heat only the bedroom in our apartment at night, rather than the entire apartment (since we only need the bedroom to be warm at night and would theoretically save energy/money that way). Why not just purchase a digital heater with a built-in thermostat, you ask? I already had the programmable thermostat, so I wanted to give it a shot. Anyway, this heater ended up working well for that purpose, but it almost didn't and required far too much user intervention (see below).

When I first started using the heater, I found that it would intermittently rattle; it sounded like a miniature jackhammer (very miniature, but a jackhammer nonetheless). The sound was loud/annoying enough that my wife and I had trouble sleeping when it occurred. I later opened the heater up (obviously not recommended, but at least I unplugged it first) and looked around for the source of the rattling. I'm still not sure exactly what it was, but I discovered that if I tugged slightly on part of the plastic housing that surrounds the fan, the rattling stopped. So I drilled a hole in it, anchored it with a cable tie and closed it back up. Now the heater is as quiet as it should be (about as quiet as a regular oscillating fan that's on "low"), but it certainly took some effort. Again, I don't know if this is a common problem or if I just got a weird one. In summary...

Pros:

-is relatively quiet when working properly (about as quiet as a regular oscillating fan on "low"; I'm a light sleeper and I can sleep through it quite easily) (note that there is no difference between the "low" and "high" modes sound-wise)

-puts out plenty of heat, in my opinion, for a small-to-medium-size room (may not work well for large/open rooms; haven't tried that)

-oscillates nicely, and the oscillation itself appears to be dead silent (you still hear the fan, obviously, but the oscillating doesn't add any noise compared to when it's not oscillating)

-low/high heat option is a good feature

-works with analog-heater/AC programmable thermostats

-in theory, it never gets hot enough to start a fire (my understanding is that this is a safety feature common to all ceramic-element heaters); briefly touching it during use is encouraging (it feels fairly hot, but not hot enough to start a fire)

Cons:

-mine rattled loudly enough to disturb sleep before I fixed it (and fixing it wasn't easy); might have been a fluke

Notes:

-feels somewhat cheaply constructed (it's about what you would expect from a little, inexpensive space heater)

-relatively small; might not work very well for heating a large and/or open room (not sure)

-the fan is fairly low-power (again, much like a regular oscillating fan on "low"); don't expect it to blow very far

I bought this for a baseboard electric heater because I didn't want to go to the trouble of mounting and wiring a thermostat in the wall. The first disadvantage is that you have to get down on floor with a flashlight to set and program it. The second disadvantage is that whatever temperature you set it is not what the room will be because it is mounted on the heater. When the heater comes on it warms the thermostat much sooner than the room and cuts the heater off. So to make it work you have to set it much higher than you want the room to be and then come back and reset it after the room has warmed up.

One of the reasons I purchased this was that the on/off rocker switch would be a nice replacement for the old knob thermostat, which half the time ended up getting turned in the wrong direction so that the heater was left on at the highest setting when the intention had been to turn it off.

Unfortunately, switching the switch to off completely resets the program, including the time of day! That's right, flipping the switch on the bottom of this uint to off will completely erase the entire schedule that you've tediously programmed into it, using its paltry three buttons while sitting on the floor.

Also, this unit is a very poor fit for the Cadet baseboard heater that I purchased at the same time. And the electronics in this thing probably cost about a nickel to manufacture. This thing is horribly overpriced garbage.

Do not buy!

If you have electric baseboard heat and want a digital programmable setback thermostat -and you do, because it will make your rooms more comfortable and save you money -but you don't want to wire in a regular thermostat on the far side of the room, this on-the-baseboard thermostat is the one for you.

It only fits Cadet Series F baseboards, so you'll probably end up replacing the one you have now.

Installation is the same as for any on-the-baseboard thermostat (have an electrician do it if you're not familiar with household wiring). Programming is pretty easy. The thermostat's temperature regulation is much better than I expected. I thought the heater would heat up the sensor and mess it up, but the sensor is right at the bottom, and the way convection works is that hot air exits the top of the unit, which draws cold air in at the bottom, and putting the sensor at the bottom of the thermostat assembly does the trick.

The only issues are:

1. Power outages (including a blink of about a second) cause the unit to lose track of what time it is. It still remembers its heating program, though.

2. If you have furniture in front of your baseboard heaters, getting at the thermostat can be a nuisance.

The 3405A cadet digital thermostat is eons ahead of the old bimetal cadet switch it replaced! Don't hesitate to replace yours. The new digital thermostat is way more accurate and so it does not over-shoot and under-shoot the temperature. This thermostat will provide you with an even room temperature. Say good bye to the thermal swings... it is just right!

These aren't a fix all. No they wont read as accurate as a wall thermostat there lower to the floor. Yes it will take a little more work setting it. But its still better than a twist to set thermostat.Dont install it yourself, Most of you wont BEABLE TO MAKE IT WORK. Hire electrician.

****Update 10-5-11****Unit has died (heating element apparently went out). Now out of warranty since it has been 4 years. On the one had I hate to spend $135+ to get a new one, but on the other hand, once you've had one of these things, it's hard to go back to the traditional coffeemaker. It did make great coffee for 4 years, and I loved having my coffee ready in just a minute or two. Despite the fact that I would have liked to get more than 4 years out of my original purchase, I will probably buy another one.

****Update 2-27-09****

My coffee maker developed a leak. I dusted off my original paperwork, and was very happy to see that this unit comes with a 3 year warranty. I sent it back to Bunn, and they sent me a brand new unit. Painless and relatively quick (less than a week). Yet another reason to buy a Bunn. The only thing I would mention is that I had to pay to have the old unit shipped back to them. Cost me $13 UPS, so it's not really that big a deal, but I just have this old fashioned notion that if something is covered by warranty, it shouldn't cost the consumer a penny to get it fixed or replaced.

****Original Review****

I don't see why anyone would buy a traditional glass carafe coffeemaker. The heating element scorches the coffee after about 15-20 minutes, so if you haven't finished the pot by then, you end throwing the rest away. At least I used to, until I discovered thermal carafes years ago.

I really like this coffeemaker. I am a big coffee drinker, and I usually make 1 pot in the morning, 1 pot in the afternoon, and 1 pot at night. The quality of the coffee that it brews is excellent, and I like the fact that the coffee is ready in 3 minutes.

A few other observations:

-I have not had any problem with the carafe. No spills or dribbles, and it keeps the coffee piping hot for a good 90 minutes, and then drinkably hot for another 2 hours. I especially like the fact that you don't need to open and close the lid to pour the coffee. The lids stays in the closed position while the coffee is brewing and it stays in the closed position when you pour it from the carafe.

-I have not had any problem with the basket overflowing or grinds in my coffee, but I have noticed that the grinds rise up to the tippy top of the filter, and I use Bunn filters which are a little taller than most. Although I have not had a problem myself, I can see where someone who likes an extra strong brew and adds a little more coffee might have an issue. For me it works, and I use about 10 tablespoons of coffee per full pot.

-I don't particularly like the automatic feature that starts the brewing cycle as soon as you close the lid to the water chamber. I would prefer to have a button to press, but its not a huge deal for me. Like another reviewer, I can see potential disaster if I have company or overnight guests and they want to make the coffee, and I haven't briefed them on how the machine works.

-Price is high when compared to the Mr. Coffee type machines with glass carafes, but I really do notice a difference in the taste of the coffee when I visit friends and they break out their $30 coffee maker after dinner. I think the price is a fair price for what you get, and although I haven't had it long enough to comment on its durability, Bunn typically makes products that stand up over time.

-The entire machine does have a rather large footprint, and it is bit taller than many coffeemakers. I have alot of counter space and my cabinets are high, so its not an issue for me, but do yourself a favor and take 30 seconds to measure the space where you intend to put the machine to make sure it will fit nicely.

Overall, if you're into good coffee, and you're willing to spend the money, and you're willing to overlook a few very minor flaws (see above) I would highly recommend this machine.

I bought this brewer in October. At first I was very happy with it. Then the carafe started leaking so bad it was ridiculous. I called Bunn a couple of days ago and the lady told me to wash the spout and the seal around the rim with Dawn dishwashing soap (she specifically said Dawn which I happened to have on hand) and the carafe would perform much better. She said that after a number of uses the oil from the coffee keeps the seal from sealing well. I hung up fully expecting to call her back in a few minutes. I washed the carafe as she suggested and it works like new again... no leaks!! If you have this pot, try it, you'll be amazed at the difference. Now I love this brewer again!

We purchased this to replace an aging Mr. Coffee. The Mr. Coffee was programmable, which was nice when I remembered, but when I didn't it could take nearly 20 minutes to brew a pot. That is a long wait in the morning. We considered this or the Braun programmable, which appeared to be rated well, but I couldn't determine how long it took to brew. I knew I wanted speed.

I got speed. This thing is fast. By two and a half minutes its down to waiting on the last drips to come out of the basket. The coffee's flavor is excellent, but a little weaker than I like. I upped the amount of coffee to the recommended tbsp per cup (which would yield very bitter coffee on other machines I've had) and its back to where I like it. A darker roasted coffee would also add a lot of strength. I enjoy the fact that the coffee doesn't sit on a burner and cook too. The carafe has done a great job of keeping the coffee hot for hours at a time. I've had no real trouble about the carafe dripping.. this may be because the Mr. Coffee trained me to go slower to avoid such drips.

Another point: I checked and the Bunn filters ARE taller than my others. The coffee grinds do get pretty high on the filter, so I can imagine that getting off-brand filters would get you grinds in your coffee. Just buy the Bunn filters at your local megamart. They're not that expensive. Also, decaf and/or finely ground coffee does sometimes overflow the filter anyway. The manual mentions this and offers a free replacement sprayhead to improve this. We don't drink a huge amount of decaf, so I don't think we'll ask for it.

I've tried some premium coffees again, and am happy to report that they are worth it now. A good coffeemaker does make a difference in the quality of the coffee.

Pros: Very fast. Coffee tastes very good. No burning the coffee on the carafe warmer. Keeps the coffee hot. Did I mention fast?

Cons: Coffee seems a tad weak. Very finely ground coffee, and decaf, sometimes overflow the filter a bit. I wish it had a button to press to brew instead of closing the top.. I foresee a big mess if company is up before me (It starts pouring coffee out the basket as soon as you close the lid, you HAVE to have the carafe in place).

Would I have been happy with the Braun? Probably. But I bet its not as fast, and after years of inadequate coffeemakers, I'm happy to have one this quick, and making coffee this good.

We received this coffeemaker as an upgrade when our last Bunn was recalled due to a manufacturing defect. (NB: Bunn has excellent customer service and is conscientious about recall notifications, and I recommend the company highly. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product.) We have been fans of Bunn coffeemakers for years; our first home machine provided us with at least 14,000 pots of fresh, hot coffee before it succumbed to the ravages of time and Minnesota's hard water. We tried very hard to like this model, but ultimately its flaws outweighed its benefits, and we are now shopping for a new coffee maker. The flaws include:

An incredibly drippy carafe. There does not seem to be any way to predict when it will drip or in which direction. Sometimes only a few drops fall from the carafe; sometimes, it spills 1/4 to 1/2 cup of coffee across the countertop.

The internal assembly (which Bunn fans will know is cleaned with a tightly coiled metal reaming spring) is much more difficult to clean in this unit than in our past ones.

This model also seems far less forgiving of our hard water than previous ones and requires cleaning much more frequently. We've had trouble with calcium buildup even with softened water in both the brewer and the lid of the carafe. This and the completely opaque carafe (in combination with our increasing age and forgetfulness) have led to some huge messes in the kitchen, with coffee running over and even into the cabinets below the coffee maker.

Like most thermal carafes, this one does not keep the coffee warm enough for us, and we go through coffee very quickly. I don't see this working at all for most people.

On the brighter side, you will have a fast cup of coffee most of the time, and you will be doing business with a company that deserves its good reputation. If you ask me, though, I'd suggest you buy the model without the thermal carafe unless you own stock in a paper towel company.

This brewer surprised me a little when I received it. First of all, it is fairly difficult to figure out because it holds two pots of water at a time. For most of us, this is a strange concept. However, it works well because one pot's worth of water stays hot all the time and the other that you pour in, replenishes the hot water in the lower chamber. It seems like a waste of enrgy to me so I put it on a timer to keep it from sitting there at 170 degrees or so all the time.

It brews a great pot of coffee at the proper temperature unlike many thermal carafe units.

All in all a great unit. But if you don't do well at programming VCRs than this isn't the unit for you. This is unit is probably geared more toward commercial or constant use. It brews a pot of coffee FAST as in three minutes because the water is already hot.

The carafe itself is very well made if not a bit tricky at first. You use your thumb to push the top part of the handle counterclockwise while holding the handle in your hand to get the top started so you can open it. Again, a little counter intuitive at first but very well made.

I like the Bunn better than any coffee maker I have owned, ever, but be prepared to have to give multiple lessons on its use to other family members.

My first review: This is priced at $200 at Walmart. Why so much here? You want a hundred dollar tip? The ship there is a whopping 97 cents.

Update:

I bought this from Wal-Mart and am happy I did. It is small, so look at the dimensions carefully. But, I do enjoy sitting on the couch and having the flames twinkling out of the corner of my eye, or even staring at the thing is nice to do. It is fairly well made, and it does put out some heat. Not enough heat to take the place of a house heater, but on a really cold day it is nice to have it on. I have turned on the fireplace many times without the heat since I live in the south, and enjoy being able to do that. It really "warms up" the feel of the room. Another good thing is I have cats and am terrified of space heaters that they might get their little furry tails into, and this one seems safe to me from that perspective.

When we opened the box, found that the legs were broken. I called Dimplex, the manufacturer (per shipping instructions) and they indicated that they would send replacement parts. We should have within 5-7 working days. Have not received yet so I called. Now they are saying they do not stock the parts and therefore I have to send back to the retailer to get a new unit. They were going to call me to let me know, but have not had the time. They are too busy with other phone calls. Makes me wonder about the product....

This is a very nice stove. The stove is very heavy, with solid construction. The pewter finish is a beautiful dark grey and the accents are very nice. The stove warms a room quickly and the flame is fairly realistic in a darkened room. Dimplex units have patented flame technology that uses a reflection of the logs to make it look like the fire is between two logs. There are glowing embers at the base. The logs themselves do not glow as they do in more expensive dimplex units. On the back of the unit, there is an adjustable thermostat knob, a heat on/off switch, and a fireplace on/off/remote toggle switch. This is quite a solid piece, much more so than the units I have seen in home stores and the flame effect is much more pleasing to the eye.

This is actually a large unit as electric stoves go which is one of the reasons I chose this model. There are multiple dimplex models that look similar and can be found on the dimplex website. I think the amazon price of $220 is very good as the MSRP is $499 and it is listed for $440 on the Lowes website. I could not find this model stove for sale on Walmart's website (as reported by another reviewer) at the time of this review.

This is our third electric fireplace/stove and our second Dimplex. If you are in the market for an electric fireplace because you want to add a cozy fireplace to a room without the expense of installing a real fireplace, I highly recommend dimplex. While you can usually find flame effect videos online, it is worth looking at the flames in the store to see the difference between the dimplex effect and others. If you are buying this for heat and simply the design of the unit then there are many options available, but the flame effect on a dimplex unit is much more realistic in my opinion.

None of the electric hotplates offered to American consumers is made well, and that includes B&D's. As one can see from the detail of the image, the spiral coil is fastened to the unit, cannot be raised for cleaning. That means it will soon look like the junk that it is.

A hotplate should be made with a removable coil so that the drip pan below may be cleaned. The drip pan, itself, should be a standard as are the ones on an electric range, if after several years (ha!) it needs replacement.

The black-top type of hotplate does not give the heat output for boiling a pot of water (1.5 qts) in 12 minutes. No good for cooking spaghetti! The spiral type might do this when it is new, but not for long.

I blame the retailers, like Amazon, as mush as the Chinese manufacturer for distributing these junk items. Amazon ought to demand better products or not sell them.

My old kerosene heater stopped working and I needed a replacement quickly. I saw this unit on sale for a great price so I decided to wait the extra few days for shipping rather than going to the store the same day. My old heater was 60,000 BTU and I paid $180 12 years ago. I had built a wooden stand for it so I could wheel it around my shop. First, this new unit is the exact size as my old one so it fit in the stand perfectly. Second, this unit is 75,000 BTU and I paid less than my old one. Third, it has an on/off switch and a thermostat, unlike my old one. And fourth, it starts up immediately. My old one took awhile I wasn't always sure if it were going to start or not. I couldn't be more please with it.

I needed a heater and called to rent one. I needed it for three days and found out the rental place charged $32 a day to rent. I was pressed for time because it was Tuesday and I desperately needed one for the up coming weekend. They informed me that they rented on a first come first serve basis, therefore there could be a chance I might not be able to get one anyway. I searched on-line to find one that was affordable and found this one on Amazon. The price of the heater was what it would cost me to rent one for three days. After reading the reviews of how quickly others who ordered one got their heater, I decided to give the company a try. I ordered it that Tuesday, and when Friday afternoon came (2:30 PM when it was time for me to go to work)it wasn't here. I went to work disappointed. When I returned home at 3AM there was a note on my front door informing that the heater was sitting on the side of my house hidden behind the garbage cans. Needless to say, I was over joyed. Not only was I able to complete my project over the weekend, it keep my garage at the temperature I needed for 10 hours straight on one tank of kerosene. I highly recommend this heater, and this company. RIGHT ON TIME!!!

Consumer Reports listed this as the quietest AC in it's class, but I saw several reviews on-line that complained about a noise that sounded like the fan was slapping against water in the case. I decided to try one unit anyway. Sure enough, when it arrived, it had the telltale noise. Examination, however, revealed that the fan was simply scraping against the surrounding shroud. Could have easily fixed it myself, but called Friedrich instead. They were very friendly and helpful, and knew immediately what the problem was. They gave me the name of a local service store. Called them, the repairman came out two day's later, trimmed the shroud, and -voila -the problem was fixed. After the fix, even he commented that it was the quietest unit he'd ever heard. I promptly ordered two more identical units. Both arrived shortly thereafter, and neither had the noise problem. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit. Is it as quiet as central air? No, definitely not. After all, it is a window unit. Can you hear it running? Definitely. After all, it is a window unit. But it is probably about 75% quieter than the unit it replaced. The sound it does make is not particularly intrusive, and you could easily carry on a whispered conversation right next to the unit. The only mystery that remains to me is, if Friedrich knows about this problem, and it occurs with any frequency, why hasn't their quality control department redesigned the manufacturing specs to eliminate it completely? Presumably, the shroud needs to be a close fit to the fan in order to obtain the efficiency at which the unit is rated, but still...... Ahh, one of the enduring mysteries of life.

I decided to buy a Friedrich CP06G10 after I heard a LG unit sounding like a tractor...despite most of the good reviews it got (???); the built quality of the Friedrich is remarkable, compared with units from other brands (of similar capacity 6000BTU); unfortunately, the unit is noisy, specially for the price; the fan alone is running ok but the noise from the compressor is quite loud and uneven; the customer support rep at Friedrich was very courteous and try her best in dealing with the situation; without a prompt response from the warranty technicians in my area I returned the unit to the store; when packing the unit I noticed that the compressor used in this unit is....LG Electronics.....what a shame! Hopefully the people at Friedrich will make a better selection of the (major) parts used in their products.

Bought this for my friend's apartment. Much better than the junk at Home Depot and Lowes. Easy to install and does a great job of cooling.

Honest reviews on Friedrich CP06G10 6000 btu - 115 volt - 10.7 EER Chill series room

Purchased this unit from an independant Freidrich dealer as well as the Kuhl. The Kuhl is a fine product. The Chill is noisy and the fromt grill vibrates. The installer has come back twice and has improved the vibration issues,but the unit is noisy and the problem is the front grill which is flimsy hence the vibration issue. Am waiting to hear from Freidrich about this issue.

Was in contact with Freidrich service. To make a long story short,cause of excess noise and vibration found and corrected. Freidrich support responded in a quick and expeditious manner. Apparently problem solved. Am changing review from one star to four stars. Kuhl is a five star unit.

Friedrich authorized and replacement unit installed today,after noise issue returned. New unit much quieter. The problem with the original unit was with the compressor. As with any product purchase,your purchase is only as good as the company behind it. Pleased with Freidrich customer service and their response to my issue. This is a decent if not spectular performer for a window unit. If you are looking for a thru the wall,I would definetly reccomend the Kuhl series. Had one installed in living room and it is great. More expensive,but worth it.

This is our second Friedrich unit that we purchased. I have owned a couple of units in our house, and the friedrich is the quietest and best cooling. On "high" I can sleep with it next to my head. On low I can barely hear it. This is replacing a 10k BTU Sears Kenmore that went bust after 2 years, although we had a larger one which we got rid of that was 10+ years old. After extensive research on the first one, we got it, despite it being undersized, it cools half of our upstairs perfectly, and the second 6k unit will cool the other one. Do your research, notice that Friedrich has the highest EER rating, it's there for a reason, they have the technology (wifi on some models), and energy efficiency. $50 coupon (25+25) until July 31st (2012)as well. Don't oversize your a/c unit, it will cycle on and off too fast and die. A smaller one turned on in advance will use less energy and last longer.

Our old wine refrigerator finally quit on us and we needed a replacement. That one was a small black refrigerator that we kept in the garage. This time we wanted something that would look nice in the house and fit our decor. From the photos and the limited reviews that we could find the Rutherford Wine Bar seemed like a good bet. But, of course, you never know until you can see it in person and our concern was that it would look cheap once we got it. Not to worry, we were very pleased to see that this is a very nice piece of furniture and fits well in our house. This really is very nice and my wife loves the marble top.

It has two separate side by side refrigeration units built into one cabinet with a lighted wine glass storage area above. These are thermoelectric refrigeration units so they will never get really cold. I have them set at their coldest setting (the units do not show a specific temperature setting just a dial that lets you set the units between the minimum to maximum settings)and measuring with a refrigerator thermometer, the temperature is maintained in the mid-50's F at this setting. I understand that thermoelectric units can only bring temperatures down about 20 degree F so this seems about right. This is plenty good for short to medium term storage.

We bought this from Wayfair through Amazon and the delivery was on time. The driver only brought it into the garage so we had to unpack and bring it into the house ourselves. This is very heavy and my son and I struggled to get it to its spot over hardwood floors without damaging the unit or the floors. It definitely takes two and preferably three people to move this. I must say I was impressed with how well this unit was packed. Lots of thick foam padding, cardboard and MDF. No scratches, dents or dings at all.

I would definitely recommend this if its size and style meet your needs.

This cooler is supposed to cool to 45 degrees. The unit I have, new and out of the box, "cools" to 67. Tresanti admits the advertisement that this unit cools to 45 is "wrong", and the resellers that are providing that lie to consumers get that false information directly from Tresanti and their parent company Twin Star.

They admit the cooler I have does not work at all. They admit they no longer sell the refrigeration units used in this cooler. They "offered" to send me the units they currently sell, which cool red and white in the same unit, but I have to install the new refrigerators myself, and they claim there is no warranty on this unit because they choose which of the vendors selling their units they will or will not cover with the advertised manufacturer's warranty. How ridiculous is that?

When you disagree with their business practices, their representative insults you personally. This company should not be in business.

Honest reviews on Rutherford Wine Cabinet in Vintage Cherry DC387C233-3641

I ordered this and it arrived several days earlier than promised. I was impressed with the quality, it runs very quietly and looks impressive. My only complaint is that there is no light inside the areas where the wine is stored. There is a light on the area which holds wine glasses etc., which is nice, but a light inside the cooling areas would help read the labels.

The top section is tall enough to have my tallest glasses hanging upside down and holds 3 in each section. The color is a beautiful cherry. The marble top is more of a marble veneer in that it is small thin sections, not one heavy piece. Very typical of this price point. Our bar and bedroom set has the same type of top. The only warning I would give is that pinot bottles are too big for it, so champagne would most likely not fit either. Has three plug ins (one for each of the two refrigerators and 1 for the light in the top section where the glasses hang. There is also a nice small light in the fridges, so at night there is a really nice soft glow coming from within.

When looking for small wien coolers, I was scared of getting a so bad one because while looking for cheap and small wine cooler I've seen that there are many reviews saying that the one they bought makes a lot of noise, broke down or something else... After making some research I decided to get this wine cooler, and I ought to say that I'm happy to have chosen this one. It doesn't makes noise at all. It keeps the wine at the temperature I chose as it is supposed to do. It's got a light inside so you can see the wine if you like to. You may like also to leave the light turned on because it looks cool at night. Also, I've got the Prime Membership, so I got the two days shipping for free. If you don't have the Membership, don't worry Amazon always send the product on time.

Since I've seen so many people saying that the Wine Cooler they got broke down, I will update the review if it happens to me. It's been a week since I bought it, and the cooler works perfectly.

The wine cooler stopped working on March 26, 2013. I send the wine cooler to the manufacturer, and they fixed it.

You read a lot of reviews of wine coolers being too loud or do not cool properly. This may be a direct result of people not reading directions. When you move a refrigerator of any kind the unit is supposed to be kept upright. The reason for this is because there is very thick lubricant (oil) in the compressor unit. If the refrigerator has been moved, stored, or delivered sideways the oil must be given time to drain back into the compressor properly. If your unit was just delivered to you and the box is upright then you have to assume that it could have been on the truck for several days. This means the oil is not in the correct position in the compressor to be turned on as soon as you bring it home. The box this unit was shipped in is large and will more than likely have to be put on its side to fit in your vehicle. The instructions with this unit clearly state not to turn the unit on for a few hours to allow the lubricant to settle properly. I allowed for three hours to pass before plugging the unit in. Additionally, my wine was in my regular refrigerator and already cold when I put them in this cooler. This takes the unit less work to get the temperature down. This unit is very quiet and is keeping the temperature steady. You can hear the fan but during a normal conversation or with the tv on you have to really listen for it. For the money, this is a very nice and attractive unit.

I just got this yesterday and set it to 57 and it works perfectly. I just purchased some reds and opened door stacked them in there, fit perfectly and the temp didn't budge. I had a cheap (1/2 priced) 6 bottle Emerson that worked well for 4 years, now it won't cool down, it is being affected my our Indian Summer heat, which it never mattered before how hot my place got. This new one looks soooo much better, very quiet, no complaints at all, so far. I will do another post if anything changes, but so far I love it. Btw, it is positioned exactly next to my old one. So the placment is the same, and staying at a cool 57! Exactly where I want it. It is about 68 in my condo right now.

Have had it for a month or so with no issues. The light is a nice touch at night looking for a bottle.

Runs quietly and with 12 bottles in it keeps wine at 51 degrees (lowest setting) which is a great "chilled" temp.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at this model when it arrived over a year ago. I had room for bottles with the corks placed back in, in addition to having room for wine stoppers as well. It also remembered where the thermostat was set to in the event of a power outage. It would go back to the setting once power was restored.

HOWEVER...Unit died right after the 1 year mark. Doesn't it always happen that way?

Take it for what its worth.

Honest reviews on World Marketing PP216 Reddy Heater Photo Cell Kit /Photocell

I ordered a new photo cell from Amazon and it shipped from Desa ( somepalce around Dallas). Arrived in 3 days, was as advertised and upon arrival installed in less than 5 minutes. Resolved the shutdown problem and now heater is like new. The test procedure is good reference. The photo cell has very high resistance ( someplace in meg ohm range) when no light available. With a 60 watt bulb the resistance should be below 500 ohms ( not a fully closed contact). The new one has about 45 ohms resistance with a 60 watt light source and apparently the flame has a light source about the same intensity as a 60 watt bulb. Safety swithc now works as it should.
