Lp Gas Wall Heater (ML200TBA) Reviews
Couldn't have hoped for more with this we have a addition on the back of our home with A LOT of windows. We live in a colder climate and the room gets so cold in the winter. We wanted to grow some plants in there and this heater has helped us to create a tropical climate in the room it's been really great. I don't know exactly what the gas consumption but our bill has only gone up about $15 per month and we use it to heat it all the time. Very nice product highly recommendable.

Works great. Many levels of heat and fan-even eco. Quiet and efficient. Not expensive on electric. Better than I expected.Used twice, third time the control pad would not turn on. Pure Junk from China that is not worth even looking at.

i use big portable to clean rugs and bought this as a replacement when i just had to do stairs. the built in wheels and riser handle is convenient. the hose length is long enough to reach the top stair and part of the hall with the unit on the first floor.
it sprays okay. My old unit which still works only has about 50 psi and it comes with a nice stainless steel spray suck tool.
the bad. they put the power cord just above the wheels so it scrapes every time you roll it up the stairs so forget rolling up any stairs. I've got to tape the cord after 3 jobs. the stainless steel head is to small to do stairs so forget that. the heater gets the brass coupler so hot you simply cannot disconnect the unit. I put on a cool cuff quick connect. the little prongs to hold the power cord are too small so the cord falls off. they put in a monstrously large heater in here. 2000 watts? it blows circuits.
i feel what happened is some engineers build this without actually consulting a carpet cleaner. why whould they. we're only the ones who use these tools. had they actually field tested a beta unit for a week unit before putting in field they would have seen these mistakes and found out wow. that cord is really in the wrong place and i just burned the snot outta my hand we need a cool cuff on there. etc.
I brought it to my main vendor and tested it against their 50 psi machine. it sprayed better so i'm keeping it. the unit is okay but i most of the time don't run it with heat. they should have put a 1700 watt heater in there instead of a circuit buster. forget running anything else if you run this thing with the heater on. also. the switches are hard to read. how about a nice bright red flame to show heat? and a suck picture to show suction.
or better yet before you put out a new unit how about simply field testing it for a week then go back and fix all these little things and make a truly great machine instead of more of the same.
I work for a movie theater chain and about 3 years ago or so our upholstery machine broke down completely and became so unreliable it wasn't worth fixing anymore. I set out to find another machine and I looked at about 2 dozen machines before deciding on this one. This machine is not built for prolonged use or for large areas which is fine because generally we do our daily sweeping, picking, trash, bathrooms and vacuuming and once that's finished we use the remaining shift (usually an hour or 2) to do detail.
Ok now the good. The same heater that makes the fitting extremely hot also really speeds up cleaning time. I can do double the work in the same amount of time as with our other portables. The heat immediately melts gummy bears, chocolate, caramel ect. No scraping needed. The pump at 100 PSI is awesome for penetrating fabric (later models have a 120 PSI pump). The vacuum picks up really well. I like the upholstery tool and 15' hoses that come with it. I also found that it works well on our stairs. They have recently added a carpet wand to their accessories for this machine. Transporting up and down stairs is gets a little hairy at 75 lbs but it makes up for it in what it can do. I have since added 2 more units to 2 of our other theaters and we love them

I'm going to get the bad out of the way first. There is only one problem I have with this machine and that's that all the brass fittings get extremely hot so I use gloves when I use it and prolonged use can melt the plastic on the machine that the disconnect is connected to. The heater is 1000 watts not 2000 as the other reviewer suggested.I work for a movie theater chain and about 3 years ago or so our upholstery machine broke down completely and became so unreliable it wasn't worth fixing anymore.

I purchased this because I didn't really like the way my friend's round fire pit worked. I thought that a square fire pit would make more sense. I can't tell you how right I was. The logs fit better and it's much easier to manage starting the fire. With this fires will start quickly, stay hot for a long time and look good doing it.

I really like the way this fire pit looks. My wife loves the pretty stars and moons on the side.
Assembly:
There were no instructions on how to put the side screen together, but it was simple to figure out. I had no issues setting it up, probably took about 15 min.

I really like this fire pit. It is nice and deep and has the pretty cutouts on the side. The cutouts are screened to prevent embers from leaping out. It took only a few minutes to put together. It is solid and sturdy. I would highly recommend this fire bowl.Best Deals on DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl
Perfect size for my setting. It was easy to put together and I would recommend to others. No issues with the instructions and the mesh screen to cover the holes on the side was a nice touch.Honest reviews on DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl
Not willing to pay $200 and up for something that's going to sit in the yard. So, this seemed to be the best design for the best price. Plus free super saver shipping. We assembled and used the firebowl last night. Assembly took about 15-20 minutes. Issues: 1) The handle doesn't screw in as tight as I'd like. 2) There are pieces included *not* listed in the instructions; specifically the interior mesh panels. Further, though there are screw holes to fasten the mesh screens together, there are no screws included. Still, they stay in place pretty well. 3) There is no lip for the grate to rest on in the bowl. You just drop it in until the bowl tapers enough to hold the grate. So, that's all a little shoddy / suspect. But still the firebowl worked well; less than 30 minutes after we opened the package, we were sitting fireside. I'm sure there are better products, but I'm also sure there are worse.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl
I bought this Fireplace for my girlfriend's birthday and it has been used a lot ever since. It took about 10 minutes to assemble, it was very easy, and has held up great through all of our fires and even through Hurricane Irene. It's a great fireplace as the large sparks and coals can't escape so we can use it on our deck. I highly recommend this bowl for anyone who loves to sit by fires and who loves good deals, because this is well worth the money!Friday, February 28, 2014
Discount ClassicFlame 24" Electric Fireplace Insert/Log Set - 24FI061ARU

List Price: $449.00

Have a very nice active fireplace with the bush of a button on a remote controller! Very realistic flames and glowing, burning logs. The heat given off completes the effect.
The raised log basket looks good even when the "fire" is turned off. Because real burning logs in a fireplace are not in front of a vertical wall, the black rear panel was a concern. However, in the fireplace it blends with the blackened fire bricks and is not a distraction. Some brands have "mirrored" panels which are more noticable. Reviews of other manufacturers inserts complained about heater fan noise. The hum of the ClassicFlame fan is not noticable, it is almost like the sound of a real fire.
A very satisfactory electric fireplace insert. It is ready to plug in and enjoy right out of the box.Purchased this for my sister who was tired of buying wood for her fireplace. Quality built and the flames are very realistic. Not recommended if you want to warm a big room, more suited for a small bedroom if you want to add warmth. This one was placed in a living room and everyone loves it!

Soleus KY3-100 10000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review
I installed the AC this AM. Outside temps were high 70's. When I turned it on the room temp was 80* and the outside temp 78*. Four hours later the outside temp was 81* and the inside temp was 82*. By early evening the outside temp had risen to 86*, exactly the same as the inside temp. It's now 10PM and 76* outside and our bedroom is 86*. Apparently the unit makes a good bedroom heater.
While it's obvious that the AC function isn't working, the real problem is that the unity is poorly designed and not intended for bedroom use. It is so loud that sleep will be impossible, listening to television unthinkable and having a conversation in a normal speaking voice is unhearable. Think B-17 revving it's engines.
Add to that the absolutely inconvenient condensate drain system and you have a real winner. The drain is about 1" above floor level. The condensate tank holds about 1.5L of water. The unit comes with a "drain pan" that probably holds a couple of ounces. You are left with the choice of either draining into the shallow pan provided and draining the tank a few ounces at a time or you can lift the 70# unit and drain it into a larger container. Incidentally it took only 12 hours to fill the tank and then the AC shuts off (not that it made a difference). So much for the evaporating condensate feature.
To make matters worse, I have to pay shipping to get warrantee repairs on an overpriced piece of junk that I wish I had never purchased. I'm currently debating just tossing it in the junk pile where it belongs and eating the cost.

Mug / Coffee Cup Warmer Reviews
This warmer looks nice on my desk, but it isn't the greatest. It has two settings,but I couldn't see using the "Low" setting. The "High" setting keeps my coffee warm, not hot. It also puts off a smell of hot metal. The smell may wear off eventually, I've only had it about a month. I would buy one of the less expensive warmers if I had it to do over again.

Cheap Dr Infrared Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater

I bought this from eBay for around $190. I have two other electric space heaters so comparison was an easy task. I bought it for our high ceiling bedroom which is about 300 sf. Ceramic heater was useless because hot air would rise up. Then I bought a Holmes Infrared Quartz Heater from Wal-Mart , this was a lot better than the ceramic heater but the fan was really noisy and there was no way to turn it off. Holmes Quartz Heater gives you SUN Like heat and the heat does not rise up like ceramic heaters. Anyways it was way too noisy, You can't have a restful sleep with that thing. Still I thought there was something right with the infrared heaters. Then I looked into Edenpure and other more expensive infrared heaters. They looked promising now that I was already sold on the idea of infrared heating but they were really expensive. Then I looked at eBay and found Dr Heater. Customer Feedback was pretty good so I decided to give it a shot. It arrived in 5 days and I first tried it in our living room which is about 700 sf when kitchen included. Dr Heater was OK, I was not too impressed but still felt it was doing something different. It did its magic when I moved it to our bedroom. In about 10 minutes our bedroom was already warm , and outside temp was 35-40 F. It was set on Auto but later that night I set it to LOW because it was getting really hot and yet thermostat kept showing 66F degrees and never shut off because I'd set it to 70. SO I am not sure if the thermostat was defective or what, it sure felt more than 66 F. Anyways when I set it at LOW it was REALLY comfortable and most importantly QUITE. That's the best thing about this heater, it is quite and you can place it in your bedroom. No other heater could heat our bedroom on LOW because of high ceilings. Dr Heater did it. Overall I give it 4 stars, I was going to give 5 but I still cannot figure out if the thermostat is good or not so there you have 4 and, it is an honest review not like the first review that is obviously written by one of the Dr Heater employees :)
The Dr. Heater is made of real wood also, where the Iheater and allot of others on the market have plastic shells.
Keep in mind folks that these are just space heaters BUT they are more power efficient and do kick out a bit more heat than the other numerous space heaters that I have and I have quite a few unfortunately... I have found that they do heat very large areas by them selves but do take a while to bring it up to temperature but once there, they are pretty amazing for their portable size and the amount of wattage they use.
They are commonly used in combination with your main heat source so that the main heat source runs less, thus saving you money. The heat is a very comfortable heat and does not dry the air. It seems to disperse the heat much better than space heaters that dry the air. The heat seems to get around allot better but will still be warmer near the heat source of course.
I think if one looks at these as what they really are, in which is an efficient little space heater that kicks out a bit more heat with a more comfortable feel that disperses a bit better will be well happy with these new type heaters. If you look around you can get some killer deals on the Dr. Heater and think the price will come down in years ahead on this new technology as they become more predominant in the market place.
I like both of my heaters but I like the Dr. Heater better because it seems to blow better and whether it actually kicks out more actual heat in the end, I don't know but it makes me want to believe it does...LOL... And the bit smaller size allows me to put it in more spaces than the larger Iheater and the real wood is just a touch more American, not to mention it is well over a $100.00 cheaper thus leaving some money in your pocket to take momma out to dinner before you come home to a nicely efficient warmed house... My vote goes to Dr. Heater and if I get another it will be the same.

I have an Iheater and the Dr. Heater and I like the Dr. Heater better. They are both good units but the Dr. Heater is smaller and easier to carry around from place to place if needed and the wheels underneath are spaced closer together thus easier to place on top of other units such as a speaker unit that is not in use or a large air purifier that I have thus not taking up any floor space if needed. It also blows heat out harder than the Iheater but in the end, I think they both kick out about the same amount of heat energy.The Dr. Heater is made of real wood also, where the Iheater and allot of others on the market have plastic shells.

Best Deals on Dr Infrared Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater
C. Ferrisi may not quite understand what PTC is. I looked it up. "Positive temperature co-efficient PTC heating elements are small ceramic stones with self temperature limiting characteristics. PTC stones have fast heating response times and plateau once the pre-defined reference temperature is reached." The infrared lights produce the heat. This type of heating is how you can heat a large area without creating a huge electric bill. Which is why we have a couple around the house so our furnace (which is electric) will not kick on as often. It saves electricity without having to run around the house in a parka! LOLHonest reviews on Dr Infrared Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater
Ok, I order the heater and they ship a used (obviously returned) unit out to me. I contact them about this and they give me the run around and keep asking if the unit is damaged. I ask why the unit was returned, they don't answer. I ask them to CC Amazon on the emails they are sending, they don't. They offer me $30 to keep the used unit, I say no, just send me a shipping label to send it back for a refund. They say "we don't send out shipping labels." I contact Amazon and ask them to step in. They send me a shipping label. I tried out the unit and it didn't heat even half of the square footage it promised.

I ordered the portable Far Infrared Heater Model DR-968 on 2-22-10. I received the heater in a timely manner. I began using the heater the day it was received. The heater only worked two (2) days. My attempts to get a replacement were not answered until I sent an e-mail through Amazon.com. I then received an e-mail from the company stating a replacement was being shipped out that very day. Waited a week and still no replacement heater. Sent another e-mail only to be told my replacement heater had not been sent. There had been a mix-up and the paper work had gotten misplaced. However, my replacement heater would be sent out that day or latest the next. I just received my replacement heater (3-31-10). I check it and for now it is working. Hope this heater will not stop after a couple of days. It is my opinion, had it not been for one of my e-mails going thur Amazon.com I would still be waiting on a replacement heater. I do not have a lot of trust in this company. Grady W. ConnerTuesday, November 5, 2013
Reviews of 9w Nail Curing Uv Light Gel Dryer (Model: M010509)
I am not convinced the gel nails are better than the regular polish. The light gel dryer works fine but I just don't think I should have purchased this. Will probably not use very often.
