2 ft. Strip Heater for Bending Plastics Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This thing is quickly becoming one of my favorite tools in the workshop. I would highly suggest it to anyone that wants to get working with bending acrylic sheets. The unit casing stays relatively cool to the touch. I use a piece of cement board as insulation between the heater and my workbench.

One word of caution. The heating element get hotter over time till it reaches max temperature (~800 degrees). Depending on what you are bending (width of acrylic) I would make sure that you are considering how long the heater has been on. Depending on the duration that the heater has been on it may take less time for the same thickness plastic to become bendable (and eventually too hot/bubble). You can also invest in a controller unit that will maintain a consistent heating element temperature (next item on my tool wish list).

This worked great. You do need to control the heat some how, I time how long it is been on and watch how soft the plastic is getting. The next thing will probably be a controller for the heater.

Narita International Electric Hot Pot Water Kettle 1000W Dual Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My main reason for ordering the Hot Pot is that it is made from stainless steel and I am reluctant to boil water in one of the competing plastic pots since I fear the chemical leaching potential of electric plastic kettles. I wanted to add this review to the ones already listed to add some further information. On reading the earlier reviews, I could not get the answer to how fast the tea kettle will bring water to a boil. One review said that it is slower when set on the 120 volt mode for the US and that is where I will be using it primarily. I use it to boil water for my French Press coffee pot mostly which requires 16 ounces of water to make a full pot (19 ounce french press). 16 ounces of water boils in 3 minutes here at 3000 feet altitude while the full pot (to the "MAX" mark inside the pot) boils in just about 4 minutes. Then the pot clicks off, the light on the handle goes out and water has come to a full rolling boil. By contrast, my 1200 Watt microwave takes about 5 minutes to bring 16 ounces to a boil in a Pyrex measuring pitcher. My Kill-a-Watt meter says the unit is 930 watts and draws 7.74 Amps at my line voltage of 119 volts so it is cheaper and faster to use.

Other Pros: the fit and finish is really nice, brushed stainless on the inside and a mirror finish outside. The lid is plastic but snaps securely into place registering with the handle to prevent rotation and has a comfortable molded slot for your fingers to fit securely when removing the lid. There is a reset button on the handle so you can immediately use it again after boiling a pot by refilling with cold water and pressing the reset. The base is also plastic and remains cool when in use.

I like this unit and will probably be using it nearly daily so will report on durability later.

I've been using this kettle in Afghanistan for over three months now sharing it in a tent with seven other guys and also one of our female Soldiers who knocks on the door asking for hot water. It's used A LOT and keeps boiling HOT water. The size is handy, not too big. It's done everything I've wanted and looks like it's going to last the entire deployment.

I scoured the internet for days looking for a small, streamlined, non-clunky, non-plastic hot pot that held a quart or less of water for my daughter's desk at work. The hardest part was the non-clunky, non-plastic part! This little number is great! It heats water to a rolling boil in less than 3 minutes and then shuts off automatically and can only be restarted by pushing the reset button...so no accidental boiling dry or overheating. The outside of the pot does get hot!...but that's what being metal is all about. It's no worse than a percolator type coffee pot and is much like a small, streamlined percolator but with no basket or clunky dangling things to get in the way or snag on things or get lost. It's simply a nice little pot with a lid.

The only drawback I can foresee is that the cord is permanently wired into the base of the pot...no way to replace the cord, as you can do with an electric percolator by just going to the hardware store and getting a replacement. This is probably due to the dual voltage option for overseas travel; an option my daughter doesn't currently use but may come in handy in the future.

You have to follow directions and make sure the little voltage option screw on the bottom is turned the right way (perhaps that caused the fire problem on the negative review??). This came pre-set for us in America.

Very pleased with the product and its performance and the price is worth it when you consider it cannot be found anywhere else. I am thinking of getting one for the home, too.

Honest reviews on Narita International Electric Hot Pot Water Kettle 1000W Dual

I purchased this water kettle last January shortly after arriving in Afghanistan. It was originally intended for personal use to boil water for coffee and Raman Noodles during my one-year deployment. However, it quickly became a community item serving our entire team of 30+ people. It is constantly in use, and has probably boiled 2-3 gallons of water per day for 11 months. Remarkably, it is still going strong, shows very little wear, and has no signs of corrosion or discoloration despite the very high usage and less-than-ideal war-zone environment. We use it on 220V, and it takes about 3 minutes to boil water from the full-mark ... over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

After years of lugging around my trusty and much loved Sanyo dual voltage travel cooker and/or my Zelco travel coffee maker for hot water, I decided to go back to basics and just get a travel kettle. After doing some research, I decided that I really didn't want to deal with a clunky British plug (although that's where most of the good travel kettles are from) and was left with this Narita, the Bonavita, Austin House and Severin that had N. American plugs. The first two are stainless and the last 2 are plastic and possibly a few ounces lighter. [The Bonavita is the only one out of the four listed above that is not dual voltage and so not only needs a plug adapter, but also needs a voltage converter for international use].

As I had recently a bad experience with a travel kettle where the silicone ring holding the plastic body to the heating element melted and almost resulted in both electrocuting me and almost causing a minor fire in the bathroom of a Hyatt, I decided to go with one of the stainless models above.

Pros:

+ The body of the kettle that contains the water is one piece stainless steel.

+ The kettle is as close to a pan on a hot plate as you get. = No way to spill a significant amount of water on the electronics.

+ Easy to clean and wipe out.

+ Boils water in 3-mins 45 seconds to 4-mins. 110V

+ Auto-off function works.

+ The dual voltage indicator is easy to see, understand and use.

+ A small coin can be used to change voltage

+ This kettle does let you "long boil" water to sterilize it for consumption in areas that do not have safe water. The water needs to be boiled without the lid on and not more than half the maximum volume or the water will splash out during an extended rolling boil. Note: the lids has to be completely off the pot for this.

Cons:

No hardwater screen filter near the pour spout that plastic kettles have

No screen = a dew drops of water does spit out during the last few seconds of boiling.

Lid handle is very shallow and hard to pull off without burning the back of your fingers. Would have liked a better lid handle.

Indicator light is hard to see.

The kettle does seem a tiny bit larger than your average travel kettle.

Stainless body makes this kettle heavier than your regular travel kettle

Kettle cannot be used to sterilize more than 350ml of water because water splashes out during an extended rolling boil.

Note:

* This kettle weighs 1-lb 5-oz on my analog baking scale.

* This kettle seems to have a sensitive thermostat. I was unable to boil a second kettle of water immediately after the first kettle of water. However, I had to wait even longer after the second kettle to boil a third kettle of water. The button wouldn't even respond when the kettle was too warm. Although this is a good safety feature, and is not too inconvenient if you're just making tea or coffee for one. For a family or someone who plans on boiling a larger volume of water to prepare meals, I would just recommend using a regular kettle and buying a voltage converter plus plug adapter.

* At first I thought that the kettle I received was defective when it wouldn't turn back on, but then realized that it might have an overly sensitive thermostat as is common with travel appliances.

* This kettle has a grounded plug and any plug adapter that is bought needs to be able to take a grounded N. American three-prong plug.

Review of Dimplex Timothy Mantel Electric Fireplace in Burnished Walnut

I have owned this fireplace for about a month and it has been fabulous. The Symphony flame effect is the best I've ever seen and I've owned 3 others, though not in this price range. The Timothy came disassembled in a large box. It was packed well and there was no shipping damage. However, I found several of the assembly screws rolling around inside the shipping crate. Thankfully, I was able to find all of them. The high quality of the wood and finish was evident upon opening the box. I quickly unpacked it and began assembly. The instructions were fairly basic and probably aren't required to assemble the fireplace as there are only about 10 parts to the fireplace. The firebox simply slides into place and is not really attached to the wood mantel. I assume this eases filter replacement. This is an excellent fireplace. The only noteworthy complaints are: (1.) The simulated firestarting mode (where the fireplae can slowly build and extinguish) does not work (not really a problem for me as I don't mind it turning instantly on or off). However, as this is an advertised feature and described within the operating manual, it is worthy to note. (2.) The sliding firebox will likely end up scratching the wood on the bottom of the fireplace over time so I consider that a design flaw. (3.) there was a small but noticeable gap between two pieces of the mantel. It isn't large but large enough that light could be easily seen streaming through. I fixed that with a 2 foot long piece of electrical tape applied to the inside/rear of the mantel.

I spent hours researching every electric kettle available (and looking at them in person, in stores) before settling on this one. I've owned it for about 6 months now, and it's been great. The concealed heating element and the simple one-piece plastic jug design make it very easy to clean (not that I've needed to) and leak resistant (I assume, from a design perspective, since mine has no leaks yet). The only way it could leak is if the grommet sealing the metal bottom piece to the plastic jug developed a leak, whereas most of the stainless steel kettles being sold have several parts, many seams, and thus many places a leak could develop. There is some mild browning of the plastic inside the jug, I suppose a reaction to the high heat. This same thing happened with my roommate's older plastic electric kettle, so it's to be expected. People complain about plastic vs. stainless steel, I settled on plastic for one primary reason: it is a better insulator, so not only will it keep the water hotter for longer, it will be safer to handle in general (ie. it won't burn you or a child if it is accidentally picked up by its sides while it contains hot water). People complain about plastic "leeching chemicals" into the water, I haven't noticed any difference in taste, personally, and I doubt stainless steel would be much "safer" than plastic in this respect. The switch works great, and mine has never spilled water or over-boiled it (as long as it contains the minimum recommended amount of water). The spout and handle shapes make it easy to pour, and the locking top makes it pretty tough to spill. Definitely recommended, I'm buying another one for my parents right now.

PS While researching electric kettles, I frequently saw complaints of how kettles designed for use in the USA don't heat water as fast as those in the UK. This is for a very simple reason: UK uses 240 volt power, USA uses 120 volts. Most electrical receptacles are rated for 15 amps (though the kitchen are often has at least two 20-amp circuits, per NEC recommendations). Watts = volts * amps, which means that UK kettles can get up to 240 volts * 15 amps = 3600 watts, while USA kettles can get up to 120 volts * 15 amps = 1800 watts. Manufacturers might sometimes avoid approaching this limit, perhaps due to safety or liability issues? Just note that this 1750 watt Tfal kettle is very close to the typical USA receptacle wattage rating. It's just about as high as you'll be able to get in the USA...most other USA electric kettles only go up to 1500 watts.

I got more than I expected. Which is good, because it seemed over priced when I bought it. But it was the only one I could find with a truly variable temp control. Now, I think the price was fair.

Pro's

Variable temprature: This is why I picked this product. I wanted full control of the temp of the water.

Filtered spout: I don't use it. Could be useful for keeping tea or any other particles in the pot while pouring.

Dock station: The pot is easily removed from doc, so there is no cord in the way when pouring.

Hidden Cord: Cord winds up inside the dock. Makes it easy to hide extra cord, if you have that luxury. See Cons :(.

Insulated: Keeps water hot for a long time.

Auto off: Turns of when it gets to temperature.

Cons

4ft cord: I could use 1 more foot :(.

Wish list:

Stay On Option: Keeping water at temperature would be a nice option. Rather than letting it slowly cool down.

Thermometer: Doesn't tell you the actual temperature of the water. Not even an estimate on the temperature knob.

I can't imagine anyone not loving this electric kettle. My first one was a gift, received about 5 years ago. It's used numerous times every day and still brings water to a boil as fast as it did for that first cup of tea. The microwave and stove lose the race to the T-Fal. Once the water is at the boiling point for about 15 seconds the kettle turns off automatically. That safety feature rates high on my list of kudos for this product. The handle is extremely comfortable, the pot is easy to fill and pour. We always take our T-Fal Electric Kettle with us when we travel(we have a 4 cup version as well as a 7 cup...I'm sorry they no longer make the small one). I've only been able to find them on line but believe me I never want to be without one.

Honest reviews on T-fal BF6520003 Vitesses 1.7-Liter 7-Cup Electric Kettle, White

We've used this electric kettle about twice a day every day for over three and a half years. It's still boiling (or, more often, not-quite-boiling) away!

The big attraction was the temperature control. Being able to set-and-forget for green tea was essential. Ignore the continuous orange arc over the dial: there are three distinct temperature settings: not-quite-boiled, boiled, and a hearty rolling boil suitable for strong black tea, pasta, and clearing drains. I've accidentally knocked the knob off a few times, but no matter I just pop it back on again in the appropriate position (it goes on only one way). At any rate, since we drink green tea and black tea, we use all three settings constantly so the switch itself gets a fair daily workout too and it's held up well.

Another big attraction was the power of the thing. This electric kettle draws more power than most, but the result is a faster boil time. It can boil up a full load of water in about the time it takes me to set up the teapot. We have huge teapots, so we're usually heating up a full 1.7 liters.

The plastic exterior does get hot to the touch, but the handle stays cool. Unfortunately, the interior is plastic except for the steel bottom, which encloses the heating element. That said, we've noticed no off tastes throughout its long life. Or maybe we're just used to it by now. We're past the age of worrying about birth defects, and as for harmful outgassing, well, we have two boys. You don't know harmful outgassing until you've lived in a tent with two boys.

Actually, come to think of it and writing this review makes me remember this we really meant to return this kettle over 3-1/2 years ago because of the plastic interior, which was a deal-killer. But, we needed a kettle in the meantime. Like a mangy mutt that follows you home, this thing just settled into our kitchen and we never got around to kicking it out. For what it's worth, it has lasted longer than two previous steel-interior kettles we've had, both of which fell victim to corrosion and leaked shorting out the whole device and, in one case, causing some small excitement in the process.

As for care, we might have cleaned it once or twice, probably when we were still thinking of returning it. In the past couple years, we've probably never cleaned it. (You: "Gross!" Us: *shrug*) We generally use filtered water in it, except when we're boiling water to pour into slow drains or onto barbarian hordes.

I'd recommend it unreservedly if it wasn't for that plastic interior, and I totally understand if that's a deal-killer for you. But, for what it is a large capacity, plastic-interiored electric kettle with a temperature control it's a five-star product.

We bought this product so we could take the older model that we already had to our office.

This newer model has the different temperature settings that I really didn't see the need for before purchasing and using it. I do appreciate this feature now because the lowest setting makes it possible to heat water for coffee that is hot enough but is also ready to drink without waiting for it to cool. I used to try to catch the older model to stop it before it came to a full boil--now I don't have to keep a watch on it, and I can get instant chuggable coffee when I need it.

Instant coffee drinkers should love this product.

Buy Pelonis Heater/Fan

Customer Ratings:

I have central heat, but for whatever reason by the time the air gets to the vents in my room, it's cold and my infant son sleeps in the room with me so I need it warm. The heater I was using (Lasko 6410 Designer Series Oscillating Ceramic Heater) only adjusts the thermostat in 5 degree increments but 70 let the room get to about 65 before it kicked on and heated the room to around 80 if I picked 75, so there was no happy medium.

From all the heaters I've looked at and the ones we have in the house (2 different models of Lasko oscillating ceramic heaters, which are digitally programmable but have annoying beeps, only have 1500w and 900w settings, no fan only setting, and cost almost twice as much), this is the best value. I personally do prefer a ceramic heater (I think they're safer and faster at heating a room), but I gave this one a try even though it's a fan-forced model because Pelonis is supposed to be a good brand and their ceramic heaters are expensive. I figured even if it only lasts a year or two that I will have gotten my money's worth out of it since it was so inexpensive.

This is the only space heater I've found that has a 600 watt energy setting and one of the few that has 3 (600w, 900w, and 1500w). Most only have 2. 1500 or 1200 seems to be the default and the ones that have an "energy saver" setting generally go to 900. The ones I've seen that go lower are over $50. Even though this heater is very compact, it warms up my 300ish square foot room set to a moderate temperature (can't set the thermostat for a specific temp) using the low energy setting.

For under $30 this is what you get with this heater:

-No plasticky new heater smell that needs to air out for 3 hours running on high in the garage or some other out of the way location (One of the Laskos had the smell but the other didn't)

-Cool touch housing -manual says it might get hot and that the air coming out might burn, but I've experienced neither even with basically constant use

-Overheat protection

-Auto shut off if tipped over

-600w low energy setting

-Fan only setting

-Adjustable thermostat

-Very quiet (the Laskos have louder fans)

-Very compact (less than 12" tall and approx. 9"x4" footprint)

-Element heats instantly so no waiting around while cold air is blowing on you

-Very effective at producing steady heat

-1 year warranty

-Carry handle in the back so it can easily be repositioned or moved to other rooms

Things it doesn't do:

-oscillate

-give specific thermostat settings (but I just discovered on mine that putting the thermostat in the middle of the 2nd lowest setting makes it turn on around 68)

Overall, this is a great unit. It does everything I need and I got it for about $26 including shipping. I would definitely purchase it again and I have already recommended it to my friends.

This is a great product. I have 2 Pelonis heaters. This one operates very quietly and has the advantage of using lower wattage settings than other similar heaters. Low operates at 600 watts which is the reason I bought this heater. It also has a thermostat which is nice. It doesn't smell like many ceramic heaters when they heat up. It produces uniform heat and doesn't blow really hard (the fan speed isn't really high).

This fan replaced my old Pelonis fan that finally died after ten years or so. I like that it has three heat settings and an adjustable fan. The internal thermostat will kick it off when it reaches that stage. If it gets knocked off the surface that it's sitting on, it will cut off. It provides the instant direct heat that I wanted. It keeps my home office nice a toasty without me having to warm up the whole house by turning the main thermostat up. I would buy this fan again and again and again.

Honest reviews on Pelonis Heater/Fan

I purchased this portable heater to use in my 18 foot RV. This little unit works great. I can heat the entire RV in about 20 minutes. There is not a numeric temperature setting, but after a few uses you get an idea of where to set the knob to get to your desired temperature. There is also a fan setting that doesn't produce heat but would work to create some air movement in the summer and to act as "white noise". I'm a fairly light sleeper and the fan on this unit isn't loud enough to wake me at night when it kicks on. This little heater is light weight, portable, inexpensive and works like a charm. My biggest worry with a portable heater was the fire risk. I don't use this heater when I'm not around to monitor it. When I turn it off after it's been on all night, the counter top underneath of it isn't even warm to touch. The unit kicks off a good amount of heat but doesn't get too hot for me to pick it up by the built in handle. It operates quietly so I can use it while I'm watching TV or on the phone without difficulty. The cord is a good length to be able to place it a few feet away from other objects to avoid fire risk. Overall, I recommend this item. I purchased it through Amazon with my Prime membership. I bought it on a Wednesday and received it on Friday.

I bought this heater for work because I work in a very cold office. The heater works well enough, but it is noisier than the other reviews suggested. I guess it is quiet enough for the home, but not for a quiet office. It's also not very stable and falls over really easily. I will keep this one, but if I have to buy a space heater again, I probably won't buy this one.

My search for a good coffee maker is over! I tried and returned 4 coffee makers to the store before finding this one on Amazon. The ones that I returned were from Jura, Krups, Braun and Delonghi. All good names, but the coffee was weak or not hot enough.

This Cuisinart has smart features including a bold/mild setting, 1-4 cup setting, warming plate temperature control, glass carafe (that doesn't drip) with a removable top for easy cleaning and a compact footprint. The coffee brews quickly and quietly. The result is a rich, hot, smooth cup of coffee. I routinely make 6 cups in the morning on the bold setting and occasionally a full pot on the mild setting when guest come over. In both cases, the coffee has been excellent. The overall design is sleek and it looks great in my granite and stainless kitchen. This is a new model for 2010 and Cuisinart definitely got it right.

Well, i was originally going to buy the DCC 1200 12 cup brewer, however, I went to Costco to see what they had there first before i purchssed the same product online. Well Costco didn't have that model but THIS 14-cup model instead for a phenomenal price of $60!!! So, I went back home, read the reviews for this model and was instantly swayed to purchase this it at Costco. I love everything about it! I am veeery particular in coffee pots because I am very picky when it comes to how well my coffee tastes, how warm it is, etc. This was perfect!

I previously owned the B60 Keurig brewer, but got tired of spending the money for the individual packs, of coffee splattering all over my counter, of using the small filters to put my own coffee in getting coffee everywhere and having it come out tasting watery, and for the coffee not really being hot enough. Basically i realized i wanted an actual coffee pot again! I couldn't be happier! This machine has it all14 CUP capacity, different heating levels, gold tone filter, regular or bold brew setting, a great pouring spout, a beautiful look, you can set it to make a small amount if you only need a few cups, it's of course programmable, and you can pour a cup while it's brewing if your spouse is on the go for work or something!

I cannot express enough how happy I am with buying this popcorn machine. we have had the machine for a couple months now and have used it numerous times. I originally bought the machine to use at my son's circus themed birthday party in July but bought it early seeing as it cost as much to buy it as if i were to rent one. I figued it should work ok enough but was expecting it to not work very well since it was at a steal deal in comparison to other poppers of its size. Now, i tell my husband, this was the best investment weve made!! We have use it numerous times. Once to make popcorn bags for my son's t-ball team as end of the season give aways (about 40 gallon-sized bags,the kids LOVED them as did the parents),twice for concession stand production (it worked continuously, without any malfunctions, producing delicious perfect popcorn for over 300 people each time, although one time a kernal got stuck in the spinner and burned a batch...but that was a single incidence) and for home gatherings. The popcorn is cooked perfectly and delicious. we also purchase the great northern prepackaged 12oz portion packs which makes production so easy. to top it all off, the popper and the popcorn shipped free to hawaii. a lot of times shipping can easily cost just as much as the item being purchased. God bless amazon...they have made puchasing online in hawaii affordable!

We just received this and fired it up. I am impressed with the overall rugged construction. As stated, the plexi used on the sides and the doors is commercial not flimsy at all. The kettle is well made looks and feels commercial. One tip on installing it install the kettle tilted a bit as if you were dumping it. This keeps the gear/axle from being engaged while trying to slip the kettle into its bracket.

Heats right up in about 3 minutes dump the corn in and a full 12oz batch takes about 2 minutes to pop to completion. The cycle is a little shorter after that if you are in continuous operation mode.

I haven't tried the pre-packaged corn/oil it sounds tasty and convenient. But the popcorn from the 50lb bag was good using popcorn oil from local big box store.

One thing I wasn't quite sure of from the description but now that I see it and have thought it through this machine will clearly hold 5 gal of popped corn in the warming area. Of course, you are not making 5 gal in a single batch! You can tilt the stainless panel out and then close the doors. This enables you to scoop out the popped corn while another batch is in the kettle.

I bought this pop corn popper and donated it to an inner city school in Flint, Mich for them to use as a fund raiser. It replaced a unit that was over 16 years old. The Great Northern popper work great right out of the box and got rave reviews from the parent that had been making the pop corn forever. The kids also loved it as the old one burned the popcorn much of the time. Within 90 days, after approximately 12 uses the kettle burned out. I probably would not have bought this unit if I knew it only had a 30 day warranty. The silver lining in all this was a that the kettle was repaired by the company within a week for only $25.

I don't know why Amazon.com is using a drawing of a bathroom vanity instead of a photo of this great little heat panel. Visit other sites to see what it really looks like. Photos show it as a grey panel with rounded corners. This is accurate, but what the photos don't show is that the front surface is covered with a soft, felt-like covering which adds to the warmth of this little gem. The back is just metal. It heats up quickly and silently and radiates warmth almost instantly. It would easily fit under a desk. It's hard to believe it only uses 150 watts of electricity. I like this unit better than others I've looked at, since it comes with attachable feet and the on/off switch has a red light to remind you that it's on. The switch and light are on the right side and can be easily seen from the front. I'm very pleased with it. But keep in mind, it's meant to be close to you, and it probably won't help heat up an entire room. Still, the warmth it radiates is impressive.

Wonderful, warm, safe, uses barely any electricity, and adds just that right amount of warmth to one person (on top of normal house heating). Great if you have one person in a household who gets cold, but the other people are not cold. Great if you sit at a desk all day and want a heat source near you that is safe. Will help heat up a very small bedroom easily.

Great Heater for under your desk. Delivers the right amount of extra heat. Not made for high heat output.

Honest reviews on Sengoku SP-160 Mini Panel Electric Heater. 150 Watt

I purchased this for under my desk in my home office as my feet are always cold.

It works "okay" and emits a constant, small, soothing amount of heat, but does not get real warm.

I was finding myself pulling it between my legs. Then it felt much warmer. (Heat comes out both sides.)

I was sensible when I purchased it knowing that it is only 150 Watts ... there is only so much heat that a unit of that size will throw.

What I did next was the "ticket" to total and complete warmth for my feet under my desk!

After this purchase, I purchased a heated floor mat. (Foot Warmer – Cozy Toes – 18"W x 19"D x 1/2"H)

That floor mat product is excellent and gets very warm.

I now use the 2 products together and I'm extremely happy.

This heating panel is definitely better than nothing, but If I could recommend one or the other, it would be the floor mat. It emits much more heat directly to the feet.

I hope this was helpful!

This is a great little heater if you need to heat a small enclosed space or simply provide some extra warmth to an area. I use this heater for my birds. I was forced to move them into the basement and this heater allowed me to do that without compromising their health. The birds can bathe, relax, and play without getting too cold or too hot. There is no temperature adjustment but, really, it doesn't need it. The front gets hot but not enough to really catch fire or burn someone right away. Although, leaving your hand there for a few seconds might result in a minor burn. The lighted on/off switch is a nice touch. Overall, I like it so far... we'll see how long it lasts.

Customer Ratings:

This heater was ok for the time I had it and it worked. It is still within the year warranty period and it stopped working after a few months. I tried (2 weeks ago) contacting Comfort zone via their website and have recieved no response. Bought for 20 bucks at Wal-mart, cheap junk. Will not be buying this brand or from Wal-mart again.
