Better than I expected for less than $200. It looks as real as you can expect an electric fireplace to be, and having two heat settings is nice. It will definitely warm up a regular sized room on high, and low will keep the room toasty afterwards. It comes with a bracket that you hang it off of, but I went a little further and used two holes inside the cabinet to secure it to the wall with some screws and drywall anchors.

We've had our fireplace for just a few days now and so far we love it. It is beautiful and it looks to be high quality. It was easy to mount on the wall. I would like to find some sort of heat deflector for it, because it does make the wall very hot where the heat blows out at the top.

One bracket to mount to the wall & I was in business...been providing plenty of heat for my man cave even on the coldest PA winter days. Very happy with this purchase: it looks great & works great. The fan MAY be too loud for some people, but for those like me (who usually have the TV on), it is not even noticeable.

Yes, I actually bought AND use this product.

Honest reviews on AKDY Az520al Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace Control Remote Heater

I love this item. It heats my 18x13 room comfortably. I had company over after my son's baptism and yes, it was the talk of the day. Thanks for being truthful about your product. It is beautiful and efficient. Everything worked. The vent on the top caused me to have to make a deflector for heat, but it was not a problem. I simply got my husband to build a shelf and put tin underneath. Now, I do not worry about the heat interfering with the life of my flat screen TV hanging above it. It is a "must buy now" product. What are you waiting for?

Thanks

Lovely to watch, generates appropriate level of warmth. As a wall hung unit the warmth is sent above my head, though. Still, I like it.

Reviews of Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer

Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Along with my Wonder Washer and Wonderwash Laundry Mini Countertop Clothes Spin Dryer Portable Clothes Dryer I have a complete portable laundry center. All three items are small and compact for easy storage.

This setup reduces the trips to the laundromat and has paid for itself in no time. Really great to have when boondocking (I have solar and a genset) and are miles from a laundry. I still wash my sheets,and blankets at the laundry. Almost everything else is doable with this setup even my jeans, one bath towel per ld, washcloths,etc,.

For water conservation when boondocking I just wash a light colored load first. After it finishes I place the wet clothes in the spin dryer with the drain hose positioned into Wonder Washer tub so that the wash water can drain back into the washer. I then wash the 2nd load and run them through the spin dryer. I then fill the Wonder Washer with fresh water and follow the same sequence to rinse both loads.

The mini spin dryer is very effective in removing excess water from the laundry and does not stretch items out of shape as hand wringing often does.

After wringing in the spin dryer I place the items on hangers and into the portable clothes dryer that I have set up under my Fantastic Fan vent in the living area so that the humid air can be directed outside. Most things dry in about 15-20 minutes. If the weather is nice I do not put the cover on or use the heat, I instead just airdry. I also have a Whitmor 6023-741 Folding Drying Rack, White that works well for air drying outdoors as well as indoors.

This heating unit can be used as a electric room heater by setting up the base but do not put the center pole with the drying arms or the cover on. It gently blows out hot air which warms the room. Talk about multi-functional.

The three legs slide easily into slots on the heating unit base. The center pole is in segments and easily goes together with the umbrella style upper pole to hang the clothes on. The dryer cover is heavy nylon with a heavy duty full length zipper. This makes for an easy setup as well as compact storage.

This setup would work well for dorm rooms, small apts, as well as RVS.

I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon this product since my apartment is only 400sqft and I could take it apart and store it under my bed. Along with a Haier portable washer, I have my very own laundry system and I no longer have to fight over the one washer and dryer with everyone else in the building. I got mine for cheaper on ebay, as a previous reviewer mentioned and since I got it, laundry has been so easy! A couple of quick things: a) people are saying that it doesn't dry well, and to that I say mind the instructions! It says that it can only handle about 20lbs of laundry. Think about it, if it works by blowing hot air into and around your clothes, how can it possibly work if you've decreased the amount of space in which that hot air has to work? My machine works perfectly; the few times things haven't been dry is when I've tried to stuff a few towels, jeans, shirts, socks (I get creative with hanging!), etc after a heavier than normal wash load. Just because the thing can *hold* a lot doesn't mean it'll dry more than it says it can. it's not meant to dry comforters. b) it is actually kind of loud, which is why I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars. My neighbors have never said anything, but it's loud enough to me to make me feel guilty about running it at odd hours when people may be sleeping. that being said, holy calzones it works when used right! I dried a couple of oxford shirts and jeans, pillow cases and some socks and stuff in 45 minutes. The shirts DID NOT NEED IRONING after (I shook them before putting them in, as another reviewer recommended). That needed to be capitalized because I hate ironing. Last thing: I kept a dozen or so of those wire hangers you get back from the dry cleaners since the machine gets hot (as it's supposed to) and I'm afraid it'll warp my sturdy plastic hangers, but I'm probably being paranoid.

I gave this product a three only because it takes a really long time to dry but baby once it gets hot...its all uphill from there...lol..it holds a nice amount of laundry and if you need some extra heat in the house trust me this will heat a large room nicely..it has a stand where you hang the clothes on and at the bottom is the heating unit..then once you have put all the clothes you want to dry on the stand you then put the insulating bag over the clothes and the stand for the desired amount of time, zip it up and that's it...for lighter clothes one cycle of 120 or a little less will probably be more than sufficient but for heavier clothes you may need to do 2 cycles of 120 minutes to get everything dry..its important to shake the clothes good before placing them on hangers and putting in dryer..it will save you on ironing trust me..the best thing you can do for yourself is to purchase a spin dryer along with this...its a necessity, not an option trust me it makes things a million times easier...you don't need a huge space for this but you do need a nice size space..all in all its a good product if you don't need something dried right away..the clothes do come out good but it does not take the wrinkles out of clothes..shaking the clothes out good first will help with that...

Honest reviews on Easy Dry- Portable Clothes Dryer

I bought this dryer as I wanted to have something at my own apartment to dry my baby's clothes. This is a nice dryer and it takes longer than I expect, around 160min to dry everything but it does not damage or shrink the clothes. The room can get a bit warm when it is working. But overall I am happy with it.

I use this dryer with my wonder wash and spin dryer, i was really scared to buy this because i didnt think it would work good, but i had to try it.. OMG it is amazing, i cant believe how fast it works, how hot it gets, and how portable it is. im 5'2 and it is taller then me. It hold ALOT of clothes and works great.

Would recommend wringing out clothes or using a spin dryer. This dryer gets HOT so i use it in a bedroom and shut the door so the heat wont escape everywhere since it is about summer time. It would be GREAT in the winter to keep warm and dry clothes.

DeLonghi PACN130HPE Pinguino N Series 13,000 BTU 115-Volt Review

I bought 3 of these units at $500 each. 2 of them ceased working within a week. No help from the help line. OK, try to pack them back up again and lug them back to the store, or ship them. The third one does come on, but the tiny water reservoir fills immediately and is difficult and time-consuming to empty.

this is a very badly designed and thought-out product. I wish I'd never laid eyes on it. I've never been so disgusted with anything I've bought ever. Save yourself. Do not even consider this item. It does not work.

I used to do Air conditioning and Heating for a living so I know very well what I am talking about. For many years now I have a different career. I recently bought a house that was missing its central heat and AC air unit. My mom intending to be sweet and wanting to help out bought me a moving in gift which is this DeLonghi PACN130HPE. She forgets I am a expert in AC as I lived out of state while in that career.

Upon opening the box I immediately became suspicious of its advertised cooling capacities. I instantly knew that in order for it to accomplish its claims, it would have to have two ventilation hoses to an outside window. 1 a fresh air intake hose. And 2 a heat exhaust hose. But it only came with the capacity to handle one hose only which is the heat exhaust hose.

Let me explain Air conditioning principles of operation. There are two primary components of moving heat from the inside of a building to the outside of a building so you are left with a cool interior. One is an evaporator and the other is a condenser.

The evaporator is made cold by the incoming Freon/refrigerant. Warm humid interior air is drawn into the evaporator where it becomes cold and dryer and is then blown out the other/exhaust side of the evaporator as cool air. The heat and moisture/humidity that had been in the incoming air is removed and transferred into the refrigerant as the now cool dry air leaves the exhaust side of the evaporator and is blown back into the room for your enjoyment.

Now the refrigerant has picked up the heat and humidity and must take it somewhere to dump the heat as it becomes cool again so it can continue in its continuous circle loop endlessly. Always picking up heat, moving it, dumping it and coming back to the front of the loop to do it all over again as long as a AC unit is running.

Now comes the condenser. The condenser receives this hot refrigerant as air is blown thru the condenser. Outside air of maybe a 100 degrees enters the condenser and picks up the heat from the refrigerant and is blown back to the outside much hotter than it entered. Around 120 degrees. NOTE: The outside heat and humidity and moisture do go through the condenser but never actually enters the interior of your room in a normal AC unit.

Your interior air is constantly being recycled inside the room thru the evaporator becoming cooler and dryer. Unfortunately ALL homes leak. They let in moisture and heat so you have a constant daily battle of throwing them back outside where it leaked in from. It would be sweet if homes did not leak as you could run your AC for a couple of days and then be good for the rest of the year not needing any more AC. But that is not the case. AC units merely keep up with the rate of leak in so you can stay 15-30 degrees ahead of the game.

You probably want your interior room temperature to stay in the vicinity of 70-80 degrees. So you never want hot humid outside air of 100 degrees entering your home or you might as well just open all your windows.

Here is the problem with DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC units. They do not use outside air to blow through the condenser to pick up the heat from the refrigerant and then take the heat outside to dump it. It uses your interior air to carry the heat outside and dump it. In order for your interior air to be exhausted outside with the heat, air must be entering your home and room from another area to be replacing what is being blown outside. You cannot be continuously removing air from a container unless somewhere else you're letting air back into the container.

So while it is using your inside room air to carry the heat outside, somewhere else in your home hot humid air is re-entering your home to compensate for the air that is constantly being thrown out. Now nearly as fast as your dumping the heat and humidity outside away from you, in another area of the home hot moist air is being sucked back into the house almost as fast as your dumping it out of the house.

While that one room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in is feeling cooler, the other areas of your home are feeling warmer as hot moist air is literally being sucked in at an equal rate that is being thrown out of the one room with the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit.

So the evaporator is blowing 13,000 BTU's of cool into the room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in, but the outside air being sucked into the house is immediately bringing 5,000 BTU's of heat and moist air back in at the same time. That is a HUGE loss that must be applied against the cool claims to determine the real gain your left with.

DeLonghi PACN130HPE does not tell you about the simultaneous losses but only about the claimed gains which are not even close to being accurate by the time you figure in all the other secret factors they don't want you to know about.

I actually tested this by replacing the DeLonghi PACN130HPE with some widow units I had to see what the real gains were. My 5,000 BTU window AC unit did not cool the room as much as the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU's claimed did. But it did dry the room better as it was not sucking in wet moist air.

However when I placed my 8,000 BTU window unit in the room, it did deliver the same amount of cooling as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did, but still I gained the advantage from my window unit that the humidity level dropped much lower so it still felt even much better.

While the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did cool the room as much as my 8,000 BTU window unit did, it could not remove nearly as much humidity because the DeLonghi PACN130HPE is always sucking in wet moist air continuously. My window units did not do that. Besides my 8,000 BTU unit cooling the room exactly as much as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit, I was much further ahead of the game by the fact the room was dry and not humid/muggy as had the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had made it.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did surprisingly little to remove the humidity from the room because it was constantly replacing the humidity through the incoming air. Its gains were constantly being eroded away by the constant losses.

Removing humidity from the room and removing it from the air is not the same things. The outside air may have a 80% humidity level. That is very sticky and muggy. You want the inside air below a 30% humidity level to feel very comfortable with. The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did remove humidity from the air but did not remove it from the room because the moisture being removed the air was being replaced at a equivalent level by in incoming air the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had to suck back into the room as it used room air to carry the heat and humidity it captured back outside. So as fast as it threw humidity outside it was sucking it back into the home at the same rate so there never was a drop in the room humidity level.

Be aware of what they won't tell you.

Another fact I did not like about the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it took up significant floor space in my room making it look and feel even more crowded. I would much rather have a window unit that uses 70% less electricity than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE as it does so much better at making the room more comfortable and humid free. My 8,000 BTU window unit for $300did a better job than DeLonghi PACN130HPE for $500as it uses 70% less electricity.

The advantage of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it easily rolled around from room to room and in 60 seconds could be connected to virtually any window for quick temporary very inefficient cooling. I will say inefficient cooling is still much better than no cooling. I almost kept the DeLonghi PACN130HPE because I have another mobile home that needs remodeling and the DeLonghi PACN130HPE would be super quick and easy to set up in whatever room I happened to be working in that particular day, and then move it to another room the next day. My 8,000 BTU window unit takes 5 minutes to set up in any particular room. It weighs 40 pounds and does not roll around so I have to carry it from window to window. So what?

The advantages of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE were not large enough to justify keeping it for short term temporary cooling so I took it back to Lowes and traded it in for a 24,000 BTU window unit that really kicks ass for the same exact money. My 24,000 BTU window unit gives me 300% more cooling than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE does.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did have a good digital thermostat that held the room temp even without much fluctuation. It was attractive looking for what it was, a floor space user upper.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE was not a total flop, but it was a far cry from what they claim and advertise it to be. Matter of fact, it was so far from the truth that I call it a gimmick and fake AC unit. Hope this helps you.

I would say this has the cooling capacity of a 4,000 btu unit... No where near worth the expense of running a (supposed) 14,000 btu AC.

The room stays warm and even with the temp outside at 80 the room never get lower than 75... It's going back to the store for a window unit.

(Update) Keep in mind this is a 14,000 Btu unit.... I just replaced it with a 12,000 BTU window AC and the room temp difference is huge. I wish this unit had worked.. It seems like a great idea... But it needs a redesign.

Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

We managed to get just 1 season out of the Comfort Zone oil-filled space heater. Worked fine. We've been using it in our living room. This season, we used it for only a few weeks, then it started on fire at the top. Fortunately we were right by it so we could unplug it immediately. If we had been sleeping ---not a good scenario! The oily smoke smell was very strong throughout the whole house. This could have been very bad. We do not recommend this heater.

I purchased this heater from Menard's last winter and it saw fairly regular use for about 3 months. I got it out about a month ago and have used it only a few times and today it wouldn't work at all. We enjoyed the radiant heat that it put out when it worked, but I was disgusted that we didn't even one year out of it. After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to open up the controls and see if I could find out why it failed. I immediately noticed that the connections to the "tip-over" switch were burned, the wires were discolored, and the switch was melted slightly where the wire terminals entered the switch housing (see the picture that I included in the gallery). Seeing how several others have had similar problems with this heater, I would look for something else, it's not worth risking a house fire a for a cheap heater.

I bought one of these heaters about 10-years ago. Exact same appearance still, not complaining. I primarily used it to heat my 2-car attached garage non-stop for 9-years. It kept the cars interiors warm and engines started easily. It lasted exactly 10-years, but the cheap 15-amp outlet I plugged it into last winter melted and destroyed the plug\cord with it. So I broke it down and threw it away. I have since replaced the outlet with a 20-amp model (NEMA 20R). I will buy another one of these heaters soon for this winter. I would recommend upgrading ANY outlet to a quality 20-amp model if a heater will run 24-7 plugged into it (the U.S. needs make 20-amp outlets & wiring standard like the Europeans).

I already owned an oil heater that generally looks like this, one that has been very good for a few years, heating a bedroom plus adjoining bathroom. However, this Comfort Zone product that I recently bought is not adequate. I am trying to get it to warm up one room (30DegF outside), but here I sit in a fleece jacket and coat while typing this, and the heater has been in the center of the room for an hour with the dial turned all the way up. I'm not very hot on this heater.

I bought two of these heaters one year ago, to the month. They worked well, producing heat without being overly hard on the electrical bill, throughout our Maine winter last year, which was a comparatively mild winter. We began using them again a few weeks ago, but one of them quit working yesterday. It was working, and then it wasn't. It doesn't even light up when turned on and yes, I've checked the electrical socket. In comparison, I have a Lakewood oil-filled heater that I bought more than eleven years ago and, while the wheel assembly has let me down, the heater itself still works great. I am rating it three stars because one of our heaters is still working, although I don't know for how long, and because they do work well as long as they are working. I expect to get more than a year out of it, though.

I researched for a long time before purchasing this Lasko heater last winter.

So, with my heat pump thermostat set on 65, we used this unit in our living area all last winter. Our electric bill was drastically lower! In fact, I liked the heater so much that I bought my daughter one, just to help her save money too.

Best points on the heater are the remote control, the oscillation, and the pedestal which better evenly distributes the heat. We bought 2 more smaller Lasko heaters from Amazon to basically heat up every room where we need heat this winter...and I guarantee that our electric bill will still be lower than merely using the heat pump alone. I had no idea that the heat pump ate up so much power.

Great heater!

Did not heat as well as we thought it would. The heater kept cutting off before it reached the temperature we set for.

works great for a room and not having to crank up the central air, the auto mode works great although recommend using ceiling fan to circulate air or you get hot spots

Honest reviews on 30" Digital Crmc Pdstl Heater

I did a lot of research and shopping around for a space heater and was not disappointed with this. It's provided excellent heat for a large room.

The digital remote is great so you can see the temp without having to walk across the room. The timer feature can be used in automatic mode as well so I set the temperature and have it shut off after a couple hours.

Nice heater. Easy to assemble. The remote is nice too. It has a digital temperature display. Timer, height and decent power, given the price.

This heater is dynamite! it heats my 800 sq ft shop, no problem. If i turn it up 3/4 of the way, it will be 75 degrees! Does a great job, runs fairly quite. I even use my shop for an office, and can talk on the phone with out a problem while it runs. electric bill is up only 100 and that is keeping my shop at 55 degrees when i not out there and at least 70 to 75 when i am, and that is alot. Worth the money! I did tape up drafty spots in the shop and put insulation in the attic. FYI

I plan to insulate/drywall my unfinished garage next spring. Currently it's about 40% insulated, and a thick vapor barrier is attached to the ceiling joists. The space measures 20' X 19', with a 10' ceiling.

Amazon shipped the unit in no time flat. Was immediately impressed by the no-nonsense construction of this thing. Heavy gauge steel throughout, 3 large sealed heating elements with hundreds of fins brazed to the elements. Large 5-bladed fan with a huge drive motor. Not to mention the weight at 36 pounds, this is no milkhouse heater.

Installation was pretty simple. I had already installed the wall bracket and roughed in the electric service. Took about 40 minutes from unpacking to fully operational.

Energized the service breakers and fired it up. This unit pushes an awful lot of air, yet the blower is surprisingly quiet. No, it's not whisper-silent, but fan noise is quite tolerable. Another thing that struck me is the complete lack of any vibration or jitter the motor shaft and fan blade are balanced nicely. Quality.

Starting temp inside was 50 degrees, it was 37 degrees outside. One hour of continuous operation, and the inside temp was a tad over 60. Two hours of running, and the garage was now at a toasty 70 degrees. Backed off the thermo, and checked the temp a couple hours later. It was holding steady at 58, and cycling on about 3 times per hour. Once up to temp, the unit does not kick in for very long.

Time will tell what impact it has on my electric bill, but I'm not kidding myself 5000 Watts is a hefty amount of power. Have to keep it set low until the garage is fully insulated.

For most folks, I would suggest that you mount it using the optional wall bracket. The ceiling bracket supplied with the unit only has 6 inches of clearance between the ceiling and the top of the elements. In my opinion, that's not enough of a safety margin. Check out my review of this bracket, it's available on Amazon:

UPDATE 1/28/12:

Into the coldest part of winter now, and the heater is working fine. I've been able to maintain garage temp between 42-55 degrees without a major hit on the electric bill.

I removed the packaging very carefully. WhenI removed the louver containment frame to rotate it as per the instructions I found the lower right corner of the lourver frame was bent out. Also there was a damaged mark at the front top, center of the main body of the heater.

I was VERY CAREFUL in my handling of this unit! I did not cause the damage! I willattempt to straighten the louver frame and try to touch up the paint on the cabinet.

Reviews of Candle Warmers Etc. Auto Shutoff Candle Warmer

Candle Warmers Etc. Auto Shutoff Candle Warmer, White
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this with free shipping with Amazon Prime in black. This electric candle warmer has some very good features for the money. It melts the wax and diffuses the candle scent fairly quickly. The cord is sufficiently long and the warmer has an auto shutoff feature after 8 hours of use. This warmer will work well with both jar candles and candles in metal tins, but you will probably have some wax leakage from metal tins. If you want the scent to diffuse rapidly, you should use a 3.5 oz. or slightly larger jar candle.

The wax will melt entirely, so most likely you will not be able to light the candle again because the wick will drift, and you'll probably want to entirely remove it with tweezers or tongs. What you'll find is that even though the amount of wax will stay fairly constant,the candle scent will weaken over time, so you may want to try adding some essential oil prior to turning on the warmer or blending several candles together. If you want this for daily use around your home, you may want to pick up a few warmers and also look for some good deals on small jar candles. Since the wax will melt entirely, you can get creative and combine candles taking care not to burn yourself because the melted wax will be hot. You cannot burn the candle and use the warmer at the same time. The other nice thing about this warmer is that you can take it with you when you travel because it's lightweight and won't take up much space. It is also suitable for use in a bedroom, dorm room or other place where an open flame would not be a good idea. You can also use candle tarts or scent tarts if you put them in a glass container, but it is generally recommended that you melt 3.5 oz. to 18 oz. of wax at one time. Enjoy!

I still love these and I have them distributed around my house. They work really well, and you will get a lot more hours out of your candles if you use this warmer. They make a great gift for anyone!

I bought 3-oz. candles at CVS (pumpkin, sugar cookie, evergreen, Christmas spice) for $1 (or less when on sale) and they last and last. CVS sells these seasonal scents from Candle-lite and they work perfectly with this warmer.

The other thing that you need to know is that the on/off switch often requires you to turn it on several times until you see the red light. Also sometimes if the power goes off and then comes on, these warmers will turn on as well, so it's good to place them where it will never be a problem for them to come on when you aren't expecting this to happen.

I definitely advise against metal tin candles, but they will work in a pinch.

Highly recommended product.

June 11, 2012 I still highly recommend this product. This is a very good solution for adding fragrance to your home. The CVS candles for 99 cents are a good way to have long-lasting scent. One warmer can scent two to three adjacent rooms. I keep one in the kitchen and it "wafts" into the dining room and living room.

I really dig this candle warmer. I guess it doesn't immediately scent the place as the one writer complained, but I like the "set it and forget it" feature. After awhile, the scent fills the whole floor. I don't mind waiting a little bit for the scent to form. That's good enough for me -plus, you don't have the hassle with sooty air conditioner filters, dirty air, and open flames. I use the very large Yankee candles and I haven't had to wait long for the scent to fill the air. Maybe there might be a problem if you use the small candles. I used to go through candles so fast but using this candle warmer, the candle seems to last forever. What a cost savings!! I bought an extra one to use in my office as a coffee warmer for a big mug of hot coffee. It really keeps it lovely and hot. Plus, I love the auto shut off feature -it's hard to find that in a coffee warmer. Update Mar 2013: My warmer is still chugging along and I use it several times a week. It's a winner.

I bought this in black for use in my home. I run a home daycare and am not allowed to burn candles during daycare hours. This is perfect for me. I hardly ever burn candles anymore. I have had other warmers, but none that turned off automatically. I feel much better turning it on knowing that in 8 hours it will turn off and will not be left on. The cord is long, which is a bonus. I will be ordering a few more for around the house. The price($8.99) is great and with prime shipping, it is a great deal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good quality candle warmer for a decent price.

Currently sweating it out and trying to figure out how to get this hefty 'ornament' out of the wall and into the trash. Stay away.

If you asked me how i liked this a/c a few weeks ago (shy of it's 1 year anniversary in my home), i WOULD have had glowing reviews. Promptly within a year, the a/c stopped blowing cold air, and instead turned into an oversized wall-embedded fan, blowing room temp air into the room.

Luckily i had a Service agreement (though somewhat suspiciously, Frigidaire kept on trying to get me to upgrade my warranty with them, til the last day), so a tech was to come to fix it. Turns out, it's not worth the trouble that this unit causes the repair company declined to service it and my money was refunded.

There was a time when you bought an a/c that lasted through the summers. This one made it through half of last summer, and called it quits before summer even began this year. Total pain to have it removed and to find a replacement during a heatwave. Not recommended. Stick to a GE or Friedrich.

This unit struggles to cool the small second floor of my house. Two small rooms, 10 X 12 each. This unit is NOT quiet. You will have difficulty sleeping in the same room. On high, I'd swear a 747 was taxiing by my bedside. After less than 1 year of service unit stopped cooling, would only blow air. I thought "Frigidaire, how can I go wrong" Small 7500 BTU GoldStar window units do a great job of cooling larger downstairs. They are 6 years old and keep on chugging!

I put this heater in my daughter's bedroom in December 2006. It keeps her room heated throughout at a consistent temperature in the cold months. The unit is never hot to the touch and uses little electricity. Our pets love to lay right next to it on a cold day. I have always been a little nervous about the burn and fire hazards associated with space heaters, but feel perfectly safe with this one. Steady on it's feet, also with all the activity, I would have expected it to get tipped over a few times by now, but it hasn't. I am getting ready to order another for the living room.

My wife and I fell in love with this heater as soon as we took it out of the box and plugged it in. It produced almost immediate radiant heat, very pleasant!. It takes a little while for the convection aspect to kick in. The heater draws in the cooler air at floor level. The warm panel draws the cooler air up between the back of the heater and the wall. The narrow one-inch space between the wall and the back of the heater speeds up the flow of air, producing a sort of Venturi effect, which is what makes the air in the room circulate.

We questioned whether the thermostat and eco mode were working properly. The heater has an automatic eco mode. When the room temperature reaches the desired thermostat setting, the heater reduces it's power consumption from 1500 watts to 1000 watts. However, the eco mode always kicked in before reaching the room temperature that we set on the heater's thermometer. So, I don't know if this was a defect, or if this is the way it's designed, but it defeats its purpose by lowering heat output when the room has not even warmed to the thermostat setting.

If it weren't for these two problems I would have given it a 5.

I have owned this type of heater for three years. After they changed the color and apparently the quality this year I've had two sent to me and after two and one half weeks to three weeks of use the cord gets burning hot. I've had to return them both and now I've got nothing and am at a loss of which model to purchase. The company told me to get another model and I wouldn't have the burning cord problem.

A friend of mine had one of these in their living room and I was interested. My space heater just died on me after only a year so I was willing to spend more than the $40 cheapy from Target, which is what died. I've had it for a month or so and it's the best heater I've ever owned, hands down. The remote, the silent action and the fact that it doesn't dry out the room.. 5 stars.

I bought these heaters about a month and a half ago. The fan on one of them stopped working and smelled like it was burning. Contacted seller on Amazon who said they only have a 30 day warranty through them but there is a 3 year warranty through the manufacturer. Contacted the manufacturer who told me they would send me out a new fan and I would need to install it myself. I replaced the fan that they sent me and the heater still did not work. The 3 year warranty is only for parts, they do not replace or fix the unit itself unless you pay to ship it to them and back. There is a reason they only sell these heaters online and not in stores. I'm now stuck with a useless piece of junk.

I researched these heaters for a month before we settled on this pair. I am very happy with our purchase. We have had them a month now and we have used them, sometimes both at the same time and sometimes, just one, most nights and all weekends. My heat bill went up $50 which would have happened with the furnace that rarely came on. The big plus, besides the reasonable cost to run is the level of warmth. I can now feel comfortable in sweats without having to layer up so much. Glad we bought the two pack!

Obviously, 5100 watts is 5100 wattsIf you are trying to heat a 1200 square foot barn you will not be happy regardless of product because of the porosity and massive heat loss at low temps. On the other hand, if you have a well-insulated 1200 square foot space these little heaters will be fabulous. They are easy to set up and easy to control with the handy remotes. Understand the settings before complaining about how they work. You are NOT reading room temperature. A separate accurate thermometer will give you that info. Well designed, easy to look at and use.
