If you've read the majority of the reviews for this product you'll notice there is a consistent problem with the sprayer clogging and no longer working. Here's how to fix it. We originally bought the machine a year and a half ago and it quit spraying after only 2 uses. Bissell replaces it under warranty but the bad thing is that your "new" Little Green is only warranteed for the the rest of the time left on the original one you bought. Of course our replacement quit spraying as well until today when my husband figured out how to fix it. Get some liquid CLR Calcium Lime Rust Remover or Lime-Away product and pour straight into the clean water solution tank. Fill only to about 3/4 of an inch of the CLR in the tank, then turn on the Little Green and push the sprayer button. It will immediately begin spraying again. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then run the rest of the CLR through. Then run through a tank or two of clean water. The problem is the phosphates in your water that clog the sprayer line. This should get rid of the clogs. I would also follow the advice of running through some clean water before storing your Little Green. Other than the sprayer problem the Little Green is very effective at carpet stains and cleaning.

My partner bought this for our office. We have area rugs over hardwood floors so we didn't need anything very big.

Her husband used it to clean the upholstry in his car and was quite enthusiastic. I used it on an area rug and thought it was only so-so. With no brush action it definitely doesn't deep clean, and while the heated water can be useful you have to be careful because hot water will set some organic stains.

The hose is only 5 1/2 feet long so expect to get on your knees for the carpet stains.

With those caveats, it does what it says, but I would be tempted to pay a little more and get the turbo brush model.

With four dogs and 4 cats we needed something to keep our couch and area rugs looking nice. I was really suprised at how well this product worked! The colors in our couch look "new" again (with the build up of kitty hair-it had a look to it as if you were viewing it with a soft focus lens). It also did a respectible job on our area rugs. Considering the cost of this cleaner, I would say that it is an awesome buy for small cleaning jobs.

Honest reviews on BISSELL 1425A Little Green ProHeat

I had very poor experiences with early Bissell carper steamersreally cheap construction and they leaked everywhere. The compact Little Green line is an exception. Well sealed and easy to operate they are ideal for spot cleaning and upholsterya must for those with pets and little kids who spill and make other kinds of more biological messes. Use the pet shampoo with it for top level cleaning. For general floor shampooing I rent the heavy duty shampooer from Home Depot for $20 every few months and shampoo my rugs using the recommended carper cleaner and a half cup of Tropical Gain laundry detergent. I find the laundry soap in the big machine is so far superior to any home unit I can buy that it is worth the trip to rent it.These little guys are great for little jobsdon't waste your time and money on the bigger ones though.

OK So I bought this little baby before we got our puppy. I had bought it for the 2 cats that we have and thought it might come in handy for little messes.

My wife bought me a puppy for Christmas, and since then I wll say that I thank myself every day for deciding to buy the Little Green. I have used it almost every day since our puppy arrived, and it works great! Takes out every stain that the little girl can throw at it (at trust me she has thrown a lot!). I wouldn't reccomend it for large surface area cleaning since it would take for ever and there would be a lot of work constantly filling the clean side and dumping the dirty side. But for those little messes, it works like a champ. Haven't had any problems or leaks, but I have only had this for a little over a month. So far it has been well worth what I paid!

Bought this fireplace for a newly remodeled area of our living room in October. We heat with an oil furnace and wanted to supplement to save money this Winter. We have not had a cold Winter in New England so far, but it has been cold enough to determine that I rarely hear the furnace turn on. I keep it on low and it heats up our living room area very quickly(about 650 sf) and a lot of heat goes upstairs too. Running our ceiling fans helps to circulate the warm air. We have run this unit everyday in the morning when I get up and all evening when I get home from work. My gas bill has increased 10 dollars a month. I can only imagine how much oil we have saved using this fireplace. The cabinet looks like a well made piece of furniture and it adds a lot to my home. My two cats take turns sleeping on top of it. There is a little smell to it when it is operating, but not any worse than when my gas oven is on in the kitchen. Very cozy watching the flames and feeling the warmth.

I would have given it 5 stars but I have to say that the controls are not that easy to operate as you have to get down on the floor and use two hands to turn it on and off. A remote would have been nice. Another thing is that it should come with the heater fan already installed not as an add on for another 100 dollars. Heat rises and there really isn't any way to disperse the heat efficiently without using a fan. Also, I had to have my plumber run the gas line, which cost another 200 dollars, but he was nice enough to put the whole thing together for me and helped figure out how to run it. We both had to read through the instructions several times to figure it out.

All in all, I would recommend this product. We have really enjoyed the ambiance it creates and the savings it has already provided.

The only problem with this product is the control knob for setting the heat. It's crude and has numbers on it. I have been trying for a month to get it where it is comfortable.

This small fireplace produces a lot of heat. Some states have rules for ventless fireplaces and you may have have trouble getting it installed.

The thermostat just has a few settings and is crude. It may take awhile to get a comfortable setting.

Honest reviews on ProCom Compact Vent-Free Dual Fuel Fireplace with Corner Conversion

We purchased this product for our Florida room. It has turned a room that was unusable in the winter into a favorite winter retreat! It looks beautiful! The wood is real, not laminate. The fire is relaxing. We all clamor to be the one to get to sit closest to it!

Pro's out weigh the Con's

We used the corner conversion, which is just a triangle of wood, two support bars, and a wall mounted bracket. It was easy to do and looks natural. I was concerned about how much weight it could handle, but it seems to be able to support ample amount.

The thermostat is a little touchy. At first we thought it controlled the flame size, and to some degree it does. Setting one is low flame, setting two is medium flame, and setting 3 is high flame. Setting 4-6 is the same as three. But what we realized is that it is actually controlling the thermostat. The flame will shut off once it reaches a certain temperature. However, this was one thing we changed. The thermostat is located at the bottom back of the fireplace, which does not make it very accurate. I would suggest moving it higher, if your fireplace never seems to turn off or over heats the room.

As with any vent-free fireplace, it makes water. You will get condensation on any cold surfaces (like windows). The benefit to this is the house is somewhat humidified. The bad news is you will have to wipe down your windows & window sills. We actually really enjoy the moisture in the air.

This unit does not come with a blower. We have found it doesn't need one. We leave our ceiling fan (blowing up instead of down) on low. This is all it needs to evenly heat the room. Without the fan, the room heated fine. It just took a little longer for it to warm it all up.

This product does hook up to natural gas, so you will need to purchase any of the pipe that would connect your natural gas to the fireplace. And have the skill to connect the new pipe to an existing line. Also, as with any natural gas fires, it will have a bluish hue to the flame at the bottom and an orange hue to the flame at the top. We think that is still far prettier then no flame at all!

Just as advertised. Quiet operation. Turn it on when I want and off when I don't. Or leave it at a setting on the built in thermo....use it in a 8 by 8 bathroom. Mounted on the wall as you enter the door. Thanks much.

I was disappointed in the 500 watt setting, it doesn't generate enough heat. With the fan running it blows almost luke warm to cold air. Works well on the 1000 watt setting.

Bought to replace old heater in bathroom. Works well and puts out enough heat to take chill off when getting out of shower

Honest reviews on Broan Model 170 Wall Heater, 500/1000 Watt 120 VAC, White Painted

I chose this item because it was a drop in replacement for a wall heater that went bad . The original heater worked great for many years (had been in operation for at least 20 years), so I ordered one that I could install in the old enclosure without having to do extensive remodeling. It fit perfectly! The only negative that I have is that it is a bit on the noisy side (somewhat more noisy than the original), but not unacceptable.

Cozy Foot Warmer Mat Review

Cozy Foot Warmer Mat

Size: 13 1/2 x 20 1/2 inches. This isn't included in the description.

I bought this foot warmer a few years ago though I can't remember where or what the price was, but $58 (as of January 2012) is expensive when you can buy Indus-Tool FWXXX Cozy Electric Foot Warming Pad for $36.40.

It does warm nicely after a few minutes, almost too warm.

The mat has a 5 1/2-foot cord but no switch, so I had to plug/unplug it each time I used it; the outlet is behind a desk and not easy to access. To overcome this inconvenience I bought a cheap switch that I plugged into a short extension cord which is plugged into the outlet, and the foot warmer plugs into the switch. Now I have the switch within reach. Still, I have to remember to turn it off.

This is from the WARNING tag attached to the cord:

Do not cover mat with anything. Covering can cause a possible overheating condition and damage to flooring below.

Do not use if damaged.

Not to be used as a heat pad for animals.

Unplug when not in use.

Made in China.

Purchased the Bird-X foot warmer with some apprehension after reading some of the other reviews. My warmer arrived in just four days....almost instant

gratification. Plugged it in straight away. I did not have any problem whatsoever with the "new rubber smell". The unit takes about 10 minutes to heat

up fully....and it is heaven. We live in the mountains of Colorado so the temperature is often below zero. The unit can actually too hot after about a

half hour but that is perfect.... Luv That Foot Warmer!

I found this in a free bin at a thrift store and the unit works so well at getting hot that it was melting the soles of my shoes! I am thinking of building a thermostat to or buying a dimmer switch to lower the maximum temperature that this thing can produce. I have found a lot of similar products that state the max temp to be 140 degrees F.

Honest reviews on Cozy Foot Warmer Mat

If this mat had at least two temperatures (the current temp plus a lower one) and didn't smell, I'd give it 5 stars and bring it back to my office.

I used this for two years in my office and it kept the entire underside of my desk warm. But I had to keep my shoes on (too hot for socked feet) and people often commented that my office smelled ... wrong. Running an air filter made the smell barely noticeable.

When I switched to a new fancy office, I switched to the Indus-Tool TT Toasty Toes Heated Footrest but it barely warms unless I have my shoes off and my feet right on the footrest.

I moved the Cozy Foot Warmer into the laundry room for the cats to sleep on where the smell wasn't noticeable but the mat was too hot for them.

I can't use a space heater in my office because it pulls too much electricity and is a fire hazard. Anyone got any other suggestions?

This foot warmer mat is pretty fantastic. Sure, there's room for improvement, but this thing has really helped me a lot, so it just wouldn't be fair to give it any less than 5 stars.

>> Safe For Diabetics, But Use Caution

My lower legs and feet often get very cold, and I also have limited sensation, so I have to be careful with any space heaters or mats I use. The great thing about this foot warmer, is the heat is gentle without being utterly useless. It's amazing how much warmer my entire body feels just by placing my feet on this mat.

>>Not Hot To The Touch

I leave it on for hours at a time, and it never overheats or gets too hot to touch; which is vital for me given the limited sensation on my lower legs.

>> Great With Or Without Slippers

I often keep my feet inside my slippers and then just place my feet on top of this mat while reading, playing with my tablet or just sitting and watching TV. We have hardwood floors, so they can get pretty cold in the winter, even here in sunny California. I've tried cranking the heat up in the house, but that does little to help cold lower extremities; it would literally have to be as hot as a sauna in here to start warming my feet!! And space heaters usually blow air, and even though it's heated, the draft really doesn't feel nice if I'm already cold. But this warming mat just emanates gentle warmth without creating any drafts, and I can keep the house's thermostat at our regular temperature, yet still warm up my feet.

>> Illuminated Power Button

This warming mat has a power switch on the cord that lights up when the mat is on. I like this feature because there's no mistaking when this mat is on or off. I doubt it would ever get hot enough to cause any problems, but I still like having the visual clue of a lighted button.

>> NO RUBBER SMELL

I hate it when you buy something made of rubber, or even just has a few rubber parts on it, and the whole thing stinks of rubber the second you pull it out of the box!! And it sure can't be healthy to breathe that industrial stuff in either. Thankfully, this mat does NOT smell like that. It doesn't smell like anything, which is exactly as it should be.

>> Buy A Variable Power Switch & Gain Full Temp Control

If this mat has a downside, it's that there's no variable heat settings; it's either On or it's Off. That's fine for most people, but I really wanted to have some control over the heat settings. So I got this Foot Control Dimmer and it works like a charm! It's actually marketed as a lamp dimmer, but it will work with most anything; like osculating fans, lamps or even this foot warming mat!! Just plug the dimmer control into the wall, then plug this foot warming mat into the dimmer's socket, and voila -you have a fully adjustable temperature control; from zero 100! The lighted switch on the foot warmer pad even gets brighter and dimmer as I adjust the dimmer control; so there's also a visual cue as to the heat intensity of my foot warming mat. Perfect!!

Bottom Line I really love my foot warming mat and it's been a real lifesaver for me. Cold feet is just miserable, and now, I have nice and toasty tootsies. Future models of this mat should include a variable temperature control, but I'm still very happy with it and consider it a 5 star improvement in my life! Love it!!
