Replaced my burnt-out defrost heater. Product arrived in the original GE box. Installed easily, works as it is supposed to. This unit has the defrost switch and harness attached, so there is literally no fiddling around with splices or such, just unplug the old one and plug this in. Whole repair cost less than 1/3 what it did to have a repairman do it the last time.

There seems to be some confusion in general about which heater you get. My unit originally had a single tube defroster, which GE has deprecated in favor of a 2-tube unit that fits in its place. I actually thought I was getting the 2-tube, but instead got the original 1-tube. Easier for me, but the 2-tube might last longer. GE supposedly changed units so the energy density in the tubes would be lower, for longer life.

This item was 66 bucks locally. I replaced the same part in my beer fridge 3 years ago. This looks to be from a different manufacturer so it could last longer, the original one in the fridge lasted about 9 years. Hopefully this will last at least that long. Cant beat the price tho!

We bought this unit 6 months ago to try and cool our 2nd floor (3 rooms). I set the unit to 70 degrees and it would constantly freeze up (meaning, ice would form after about 1 hour). I noticed that the unit drew more air in than it blew into the room. Giving the unit the benefit, I sealed everything in the room as tight as I could (insulating, foaming, etc) and closed off the other 2 rooms. It managed to cool that one room (12 x 16) but still would ice over on days of 100+ degrees (unit set for 70 degrees).

Heat pump: I turned it on in mid October. Today (December 10th), all of the lights on the front panel were blinking on and off and the unit would not turn off using the control panel power button. I unplugged it from the wall and left it sit for an hour. Plugging it back in (an hour later), the unit would run but all of the lights were flashing on and off with no control over the power.I am awaiting customer service to contact me to see how they will react to the 1 year warranty. I will try to post what has happened to keep consumers informed.

This rather expensive portable air conditioner is of very low quality, and it's also very poorly designed.

First of all, the air conditioner leaks water from the base. I purchased one, it leaked, I returned it, and the replacement leaked as well.

In order for a portable air conditioner to work properly, it needs to have a two hose design so that one hose takes in outside air to cool the compressor and the second hose expels the hot air from the unit to outside your house. This air conditioner only has one hose that vents the hot exhaust through a window to the outside of your house. This mean it takes in cool air from inside your house and blows it outside to cool the compressor. This creates a partial vacuum inside the house, which results in warm, humid air being drawn in from the outside to fill the partial vacuum. The intake of warm humid air almost completely offsets the amount of cooling this unit is able to provide. Using this unit alone in one small bedroom, the temperature would often be above 80 degrees F on hot July and August days. That's not acceptable performance for such an expensive air conditioner in such a small room.

For a portable air conditioner to work efficiently, it needs to have two hoses: one for intake and one for exhaust.

Lastly, the compressor and fan on this unit are very very loud. It's difficult to watch to TV or carry on a conversation while the unit is running.

I do not recommend this product to anyone.

I bought this unit two days ago when the temperature in a recreation room (fully insulated, measuring 35' x 17' or 595 square feet. Note: unit is rated for 550 square feet) over my garage reached temperatures of 98 to 100 degrees in this latest heat wave in New Jersey. The reason I purchased the "Soleus Heat Pump Air Conditioner" is because I wanted the duality of an air conditioner and heater.

The set up was not difficult, the window assembly kit that fits in the window had to be cut down, as required in the instructions to fit the window. That took about 5 minutes to measure and cut. Total set up time was about 35 minutes. Of that time twenty minutes were spent trying to understand the directions.

The instructions are not the best. There is a hose for draining water from the unit that is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. The unit has Control Panel and Digital Display that is easy to use and a Remote Controller. The unit also has a timer and louvers that will oscillate up and down to circulate the air. What is not mentioned in the general instructions but under the Remote instructions is that the timer and oscillator can only be accessed through the Remote. However, none of this is insurmountable. After a few minutes of flipping back and forth between pages it can be figured out.

The venting kit that comes with the unit should have supplied some gasket material to put between the exhaust panel and the window. Luckily I had some sponge rubber gasket to assure a good seal. Also, it is a tight fit between the window sill and exhaust hose that fits into the window kit.

After I had the unit up and running I insulated the flexible PVC exhaust hose as per the instructions. The hose becomes quite warm and the heat from it will radiate back into the room, so insulating it makes sense.

Today as I am writing this, July 22 2011 at 1 pm, it is 101 degrees outside in the shade and very humid. In the room over the garage "Soleus" unit is maintaining a constant 82 degrees with 54 percent humidity. I consider that good, the main part of my home has central air set at 72 degrees and it is struggling to maintain the temperature at 74 degrees.

I consider the "Soleus" unit to be working pretty good for a portable air conditioner with extremely high temperature outside. I expect better results when the temperature gets down to the low 90's where it is more normal for summer here.

Seems to work adequately as an air conditioner. I thought I might not need to, or want to run our old dehumidifier. I purchased the LX-130D to use in the basement and expected that it would work even better at removing moisture than the old dehumidifier. The old stand alone dehumidifier runs for a fraction of the time to achieve the same level of de-humidification. The air conditioner and heater work well but are not super powerful.

Bought this unit in spring 2010 and used it for about a year now. I have only used it to cool not heat.

Installation: Unit comes with an adjustable 5" tall PVC vent. I had to cut it down to fit my small window which was not a big chore. After that it was pretty much attach the vent hose and plug it in.

User interface: The buttons on the unit are pretty simple my only gripe (and it is minor)is that the fan speed indicator on the LED is represented by a series of blinking squares and they blink faster and it's not really clear what fan speed your on so I pretty much go by the feel and noise which is good enough.

I don't ever use the remote but i did play with it a couple times and it does not seem to like you using a combination of the controls on the unit and the remote. If i turn on the unit using the power button on the unit instead of the remote power button it wants to ignore the remote. but honestly i haven't used it enough to sort out what the problem is.

COOLING: the unit cools pretty good it doesn't cool quite as well as i hoped it's rated at 12.5 KBTU but I'd say it seems to perform more in par with a really good 10 KBTU machine. It's a little nosier than I hoped but it's not horrible for a unit like this.

WATER DRAINAGE: The best thing I can say for this machine is that is super great at blowing water out with the exhaust and I never have to drain it. When I first got it after a couple days of operating I noticed a puddle on the floor by the plugged drain. So I got really worried I was going to have to be draining this thing constantly which would be a real pain since the drain is only about 3/4" of the floor. However after I took out the plug and drained a little water then put the plug back in it's never leaked or needed draining again. My guess was that the drain plug was just not in good enough and it now evaporates all the water out the vent.

Cheap Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $51.80
Sale Price: $38.72
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I was confused about the hose options so I contacted Mr. Heater to get the scoop. I have not actually used the hose myself (so the 4 star was arbitrary...seems like this is the way to go, tho'), but I wanted to share what the company said. (Please note that the product manuals for the Mr Buddy heaters are available on their website at the specific product link). My initial question and the company response follow, including the contact info for the company rep that sent me the information:

Initial question to Mr. Heater:

amazon.com advertizes that the plasticizer-free green hose(f273704) can be used with both the portable buddy and big buddy, but I don't see it listed in the big buddy manual. Is it compatible with both? Also, is the quick disconnect hose (F271803) compatible with both the big buddy and the portable buddy? Does this hose require use of a fuelfilter? If no, why not? Is it made of materials that will not degrade like the f273704 hose?

Response from Mr. Heater:

When you connect any of our Buddy model heaters to a remote propane tank, that tank can have over 120 PSI of pressure inside it.

This high pressure in the rubber hose connected to the heater can squeeze a plasticizer or an oil out of the rubber in the hose and once it gets into the heater it is trapped and will plug up the tubes and cause the heater to be an unreliable unit.

We came up with a fuel filter to prevent this oily substance from getting into the heater when using a high pressure hose.

The hose manufacturers came up with a hose that doesn't have the plasticizers in it so NO filter is needed (our part number for this plasticizer hose is F273704).

BUT the draw back with this hose is with no plasticizers in the rubber it causes the hose to be very stiff especially in cold weather. So you don't need the filter but you have to work with a hose that doesn't like to straighten out or is more difficult to work with because of this stiffness.

As far as the hose with the quick coupler, this is only available to be used on the Big Buddy MH18B heaters. The Big Buddy has two built in regulators but also has a male quick coupler built-in that by-passes these two regulators so if you have a regulated propane supply like in an RV or your house, you can use our hose to connect to this low pressure source (all low pressure is less than 1/2 PSI of pressure).

We also have a hose for the Big Buddy that has the quick coupler connection to the heater and a regulator at the connection to the propane tank, like on a barbeque grill.

Because the regulator is mounted directly to the propane tank it reduces the very high 110 PSI of pressure from the tank to the low 1/2 PSI pressure. Because this pressure is so low it will not be able to squeeze out the oily plasticizers from the rubber in the hose and does not need a fuel filter.

This hose costs more than the one without the regulator. However, it has several advantages that have been confirmed by Mr. Heater (I called them):

1) The regulator keeps the pressure coming from the tank into the hose at a very low level, which is safer.

2) You do NOT need to purchase a fuel filter with this hose. The regulator prevents oils from leaving the propane tank and entering your heater where it could do damage. Although you pay more for this hose up front, you don't have to buy fuel filters periodically, which are required with the other hose that doesn't have the regulator.

Best Deals on Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy

I chose this quick disconnect hose instead of the hose that connects to the heater's regulator because this hose is equipped with a regulator at the bulk tank end thus reducing the hose pressure to a much safer 1/2 lb. psi. This hose also has a built in filter in the regulator eliminating the purchase of an additional filter.

Preventing 5 stars is the cramped quick connection in the Mr. Heater which points straight down. It would be nice if the quick disconnect also had a swivel outward like the heater's two regulators.

Also you must hold the pilot button for about 90 seconds to allow the gas to travel the length of the 12' hose to reach the heater.

Otherwise I'm pleased wih the product because it allows connection to a large supply of propane which you will need when operating Mr. Heater on high. Also the cost of propane when purchased in 20 lbs. is much cheaper than the 1 lb bottles.

***Ooops, my bad! Correct, this product does not have a filter as a filter is not required with this product. The regulator does its job by lowering pressure, thus making a filter unnecessary.***

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy

This is the best option for your Mr. Heater Big Buddy, and I'll tell you why, and I'll give you a useful tip.

USEFUL TIP:

When you first connect this, and try to fire up your heater, You will be surprised at how long it takes to light your heater. Because it is 12', and because the gas is regulated to a very low pressure at the tank side of the hose, IT TAKES A FULL 90 SECONDS FOR THE PROPANE TO FILL THE HOSE AND REACH THE PILOT LIGHT. I have tried it seasonally four times now. It is not 70 seconds. Not 80. It is 90. Every. Time. I suggest you connect, open the propane tank, twist your knob and hold it down (prime) for 80 sec before you even try to light it with a new hose. Don't be tricked by a very faint smell of propane, it will take 90 seconds. Have I driven the point hard enough? But only need to do this priming once a season; I can swap out propane tanks and will not need to repeat the 90s priming.

PROS OF THIS HOSE:

it has a pressure regulator on the hose at the tank side, which is why it costs more, but the regulator offers a consistent 1/2psi of pressure to your heater.

the low pressure is safer in case of propane leakage in the system (hose, heater, element). You are less likely to have leaks with lower pressure.

the low pressure means that your hose will not leech the rubber oils that ruin so many people's Big Buddy. You don't need a filter at the heater side because there is no leeching.

powers the heater on full for a long, long time.

has a great, easy to hookup fast connector for the heater. Face your heater, open the tank compartment on your left, and look for the 4" shiny connector dropping down from the top behind the in-built regulator hookup for the small 1lb tank. That's where you connect.

using this, you spare your internal connectors and regulators for when you go mobile. Eventually, regulators get used, gummy, or go bad. If you use this hose, your internal regulators last longer.

when you shut off the propane from the tank, the heater dies out very quickly. I understand that with the high-pressure hose, it takes a while for the propane in the hose to burn off.

CONS:

costs more than high-pressure hose. Seems like a lot of cash for a hose.

the regulator may eventually gum up. Mine has. I used it every workday in my home office for 14 months (that's a lot), and now found my heater was cutting out when on the highest setting. So I bought a new hose like this, and instantly my heater is working 100% again. But instead of gumming up my internal regulators (and ruining the whole heater) I wore out the cheaper hose.

The connection works great, it was a little confusing at first because I thought you connected it to the same area as the small tanks, but on closer inspection I found the "quick connect" fitting inside and behind the other connection, after that it was a snap.

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.

Check out the user images above for size comparisons.

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.

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!

Even though the H-8010 is a heavier wood cabinet it makes the heater very stable. It is surprisingly easy to move with the smooth wheel base, even on carpet. I like the Overheat Thermal Cut-off and Tip-Over Safety Protection features. LED is easy to read.

The unit temperature can be increased or decreased easily with the remote as well as shut off remotely. Even after running the unit all night the entire cabinet remained cool to the touch. I also like that I can shut off the power/LED from the rear switch so that I don't have to unplug the unit when I'm away.

I reduced the temperature on our home heating system and ran the Optimus in the living area during the evening and bedroom at night. With lower whole house heating we have less static and less dryness in our home making it more comfortable. The big bonus was the December heating bill 45% less than the previous years bill!

I purchased this item on Amazon about a year ago, and it has been awesome. The amount of heat given off by this is pretty amazing. We can now use our deck in the spring and fall! Easy to mount and so far has been trouble free.

I thought this was going to work for the area directly above out hot tub, boy was I wrong. I mounted this 8 foot above the front side of the hot tub and angled it so it would heat the area above everyone's head. While mounting it I was extremely happy from looking at the construction, solid metal, great mounting brackets, along with a long cord.

First off from reading other reviews I kept reading 10 x 10 area, in my test we were hoping for 9 x 7 foot section. I was hoping this would take the edge off from the winds that blow thru in the winter months. The plus would be to provide us with a area directly under the heat light to dry off in the warmth.

That night the temperature dropped to 55 degrees and very little wind. So we were ready to try it out. And i felt this would be a EASY test for this to pass.

Outdoor test minimal wind, covered deck.

After plugging the unit in, I wondered around the hot tub to feel the heat, it was almost nothing more then 6 foot directly in-front of the light. I didn't let that ruin the night so we got in the hot tub, I also started realizing my private area in my own back yard was really under the spot light now. This 1500 watt light produces a lot of visible light.

In comparison, I grabbed a yellow bug light and put it in a shop light. The 100 watt bug light was less to at the most about the same brightness of this heat light. The heat produced was good enough to heat the first 3 feet as if I was a hamburger at a fast food restaurant and nearly non existent 6 foot out. But in comparison, you would be better off buying two satco s4998 heat lights that produce about the same heat and far less visible light for over a $250 savings. Along with saving 1000 watts of electricity.

Garage shop area test.

Final test was to try this out in my garage I mounted this on the ceiling about 9 foot above my shop area, I left this on for 10 mins and came back to find it did an fair-OK job warming a closed area, insulated area. After the 10 min test I was satisfied to say this unit works ok indoors, but is far from the manufactures statements comparing this is a outdoor commercial unit.

In conclusion this unit could work if your goal is to heat and light a small enclosed area. If your goal is to heat the outdoors this is not for you unless you are only looking for a small area outside so one person can smoke in the dead of winter without freezing to death

Recommended product instead, each light can easly take the chill off a 4x4 area, or inside 8x12 x 2 lights

In order to feel the heat, you had to be standing up almost directly under the heater to feel anything at all. I of course, decided not to mount the second one and have returned the unused Solaira Cosy Outdoor Commercial/ Residential Heater. I would suggest that you need a unit(s) to provide ample heating in a relative space such as the Pergola I built, then I would go with one of the larger sized units that are available.

Bought two, one began to smell like something burning, overloaded circuit, fire hazard. My husband and I decided not to use product because we were afraid we'd burn our house down so now we have two of these and the seller will not allow us to return them. Seller is blaming manufacturer. These are expensive to just be sitting in their box, not worth taking a chance our house will catch fire. Very disappointed with the item even more disappointed with the seller.

Portable Woodburning-Style Large Electric Stove with Stay-Cool Review

Customer Ratings:

We just started using this stove in our living room and really like it. It puts out a nice amount of heat. My 3 year old son calls it our "fireplace" and likes to have it on while he's playing. The flames are pretty cozy and even though they aren't super realistic, they create the ambiance of a fire. The fan makes an audible sound, but I don't find it to be unpleasant. The stove itself is quite attractive, but the color in the ad is totally misleading. It's definitely more of a dark brick red (almost plum) color. It's going to look really nice with holiday decorations on top of it. My mother-in-law came to visit and liked it so much that we just ordered her one as well.

I thought I had ordered in red, but black arrived. I tried it anyway! Very realistic looking flame and very warm. We use it in a foyer on a tile floor that is an unheated space. It has been great; no more cold drafts from that area.

I like the item itself but the dealings I had with the company is enough for me to rethink ordering again. Placed my order several weeks ago, received first stove about a week later and it was dented. I called, they sent a return shipping label and a replacement. The second stove came another week later and the metal strip that hold the glass in was broken off with broken chunks of plastic still screwed on it and was rattling around the box. I called again. They sent another return shipping label and another replacement. The third stove came and the door was broken. All 3 boxes, when they came were gashed and torn all over and there was no protection around the stoves to prevent any damage. I called and got angry and they sent one more return shipping label and the 4th replacement. The 4th stove came on Dec. 19th(this was for a Christmas gift). This one was in a box, in a bigger box. It was finally packed the way they should have been to start with. The customer service was very questionable and they did nothing to make up for the unbelievable hassle of having to repack and return 3 large heavy boxes.

I have a red one and the paint looks like enamel over cast iron. The logs look realistic, just like glowing embers, and the flame effect is fairly realistic. The room just seems cozier, and I find it relaxing. I have lived with a real wood stove...carrying wood in all winter, cleaning up the mess....this is a nice alternative! My cat is not impressed, but then he never carried firewood or offered to sweep up ashes.

I don't really like to use the heater, (I have seen how portable electric heaters can run up an electric bill) so I can't honestly rate it.

I think it may have been a little pricy because of the Plow & Hearth name. I paid around $220 including S&H...probably really only worth around $150. I looked for a couple of months before buying this stove, and there are nicer stoves out there, but you are going to pay a lot more money.

I think this is a good quality stove for the price range. You will have to attach the legs, and the doors feel a little flimsy (this is why 4 stars, and not 5). You should know that it is mostly heavy plastic, only the sides and back are sheet metal, but if you are just sitting back and LOOKING at it, it looks good.

Cheap Sengoku Heat Mate Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater 10,600 BTU

Customer Ratings:

I've been using this heater for several years and have had no problems whatsoever. About 1/2 the heat is radiant, the other half is hot air rising from the unit.

It will burn for 12 to 14 hours before having to refill its 1-gallon removable tank. During this time, it emits no smell at all. The heat adjustment range is from 90% to 100% like any kerosene heater, it is not safe to try to turn it down below this range.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the electric lighter bulb burns out too easily it is like a flashlight bulb without the glass bulb when you press the igniter, the bulb's glowing filament presses against the wick, igniting it if the wick doesn't break the filament. In this case, a long wand butane lighter works just fine.

It is true that the very first time a kerosene heater is lit, it will stink. Once the burner has come up to operating temperature for the first time, the metal parts become annealed and ready for use. If the other reviewer lit it for the first time indoors, not knowing this, it would have been a very unpleasant surprise. The first time should be outdoors. After that, you can take it inside.

I bought this heater for my bedroom. When it arrived I unpacked it and there was a small dent on the edge of the case. It should be packed in another box instead of shipping it in the original packaging. Those Shipping Companies throw these boxes around loading and unloading to put on the delivery trucks. The first night it was smelly. The next night the smell was gone. It burns clean now and uses very little kerosene. Light it outside the first time. It says in the directions that there is an oil that takes three to four hours to burn off. It will heat up to four rooms at night. It throws out plenty of heat. The other guy that wrote that it smelled probably used the wrong type of kerosene or just didn't know how to use it. Believe me it is well worth the money. Use only K-1 kerosene

This has got to be the worst kerosene heater. No matter what you do to it, it emits tons of fumes. And there is no help from the manufacturer. Don't buy it, find another company and buy theirs. We use kerosene to heat our house, we have three other heaters and none of them smell like kero when they burn. The price is great, but the heater isn't.

I love my heat Mate! Last year was a warm winter but it still cost me 1257.38 to heat with propane. I have a propane hot water and stove also. This year so far all of Nov through January I have spent 356.00 with propane and Kerosene. The living room is about 73 and a small fan at the end of the hall puts the Den and 2 bedrooms at around 68.

Replacing the wick where it says to remove the pins to take out the wick assembly. I did not know whether to pull or unscrew them. Finally just tried rotating the cylinder so they slide out of the slots and that worked so easy. Just did the opposite to put the assembly back together again.

I changed the wick this season my first season only because I was not very good in maintaining and doing the dry burn. Take the time! Do it! Otherwise you will be replacing the wick way sooner than if you had just done the dry burn
