This is my third tankless hot water heater. Absolutely loved the first two. This one, however, has limitations I've never seen: maximum hot water temperature setting is 120 degrees. Living in SE Alaska, I need really hot water. I was pleased with the shower temperature, but for washing dishes, the water is just not hot enough. It never gets hot enough that you can't stick your hands in it. Put it into a dish basin/sink, however, and it's rapidly tepid. I never expected to have to heat hot water on the stove to wash my dishes having spent over $1000 (with required piping/plumbing) on this. I'd need at least another 20-30 degrees in temperature for adequately hot water for dish washing. My previous 2 tankless systems had plenty of hot water, and the ability to set the temperatures appropriately; the limitation on this one makes it sub-par, to say the least. If you live in a cold winter climate, such as the northern US, I'd try to find a different system if I were you.
Called customer service, was told the replacement parts will be sent out the next Monday, and arrive on early Tuesday morning. Well, once the package arrived Tuesday afternoon, it turned out Rheem sent out only 1 part, missing the other part that was promised to be sent out in the beginning! I was told to wait for two more days for the other part to arrive, and the contractor will come to fix the problem only after the parts have arrived. Horrible customer service, can't believe they messed up such an easy task, and keep my family suffering from no hot water in the house.
The reason I give 2 star instead of 1 star is that when it works, the water heater works great.

Hy-c Company UL2832ST-1 Ul Sandstone Stoveboard Tile 28"x32" Review
The item shipped quickly and was delivered by UPS. For us the stoveboard is the perfect size for our rectangular kerosene heater. It does a good job protecting the floor near the kerosene heater from residual heat. The metal top of the board is very attractive and exceeded our expectations. My only quibble is that the edges of the metal folded under on the bottom of the board could be smoother. I don't think the edges will scratch our hardwood floor, but I may tape around the edges just to be safe.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
Added note: I notice that the kerosene heater slides somewhat on this smooth stoveboard. I'll have to get a roll of that sticky mesh product used on kitchen shelves and in drawers to prevent the heater from moving.

Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $69.99

Today's Bonus: 7% Off

I wanted a reasonably priced water heater that also provides nice functions. I was a little worried after reading the first review about the burn marks, but to my surprise it has gotten great reviews elsewhere, so I decided to give it a try.
Funny that when I received the package I was deliberately looking out for signs of previous usage or burn marks. But it was brand new. Shiny stainless steel tank. Now it has worked perfectly for me for about a month, no any marks whatsoever. I feel it is a good idea to provide this review, so people don't just walk away from this nice water heater and possibly go for something more expensive but inferior.
I did realize that there is a stainless steel exterior version of this heater and tend to be about 10-15 dollars more expensive than this one. But if you check the manufacturer's website, both versions are priced almost the same. So you are spending extra for the look.
Other pros than the product description you can read above:
--very well built
--nice size tank
--great easy to read instructions
--energy saver features (save energy during night)
--to me, it boils water fast, so fast I never realized the wait, but maybe it is due to that I don't always fill it to full
--comparatively quiet
Cons:
--it can be a little shaky, because the base enables rotation towards any direction, which is supposed to be a nice feature if you have a kitchen island, but if you don't need to turn it from time to time, not so useful. But as long as you put it on really stable surface like kitchen counters, you are fine.
Thanks for reading.
PROS:
Products seems to be well build and feels solid wont be supprice if this one last as long or longer than my old one which is around 3 years.
Come with great instruction one that actually make sence. And I know you know what I'm talking about.
Energy saver features of this product is great I can time it to switch off at night and by the next morning you got hot water waiting for you knowing the unit is not eating up electricity all through the night.
Safety features of this product is great for family who have kids around. (the unit wont dispence hot water unless electronically unlock first.
3 way to dispence hot water, including a manual one which is great if the unit is in sleep mode. GREAT THINKING GUYS!
CONS:
It takes a little long for it to boil water if all the water inside is tap cool but reboil is quick
Safety unlock feature button is starting to show sign of use not bad but noticable.
Be carefull where to put it cause the top do vent a lot of steam when boiling water so please make a note of that before initial operation of the product.
All in all great product worthy of 5 star in my book and highly recomended
Thank you Aroma!
The manufacturer in China made the wiring harness for the circuit board too short, so almost half of the connectors had pulled away from the circuit board. I moved some wires around I was able to reconnect them to the circuit board without them pulling out again. I Plugged it in and it worked perfectly!
So, while I love the features such as the choice of manual pump, push button pump, cup switch and 3 temperature settings, the quality control seems to be lacking, and it is not very well insulated. The outside is quite warm when in use.
One more thing, the water will not dispense when it is heating up. The boiling cycle needs to complete before the water pump will work, but you can still use the manual pump if you don't want to wait.

I loved everything about this appliance, except it doesn't have auto shutoff on low water level. If you don't check the water level (which is a screwy arrangement of diagonal lines) and try to dispense when the level is too low, it will sputter out. Then, if you don't turn it off right away (even the time it takes to go grab more water), it will overheat and damage the thermostat. I also got that information from Aroma's customer service line (known problem). Other heaters on this site have this feature. And it will be inevitable that it will happen sooner or later to you with this appliance.Honest reviews on Aroma Hot Water Central 4-Quart Air Pot/Water Heater
Before buying this product I used a Zojiarushi brand in a condo I was renting. When I bought my own place I wanted my own -it was so convenient -but was a little put-off by the price of Zojiarushi. Aroma cost less, but it is easily as nice! I can't find anything inferior about it at all! I especially love how easy it is to dispense and that it locks after a couple of minutes.Thank you Aroma!

I bought this space heater after searching for something to quickly heat up my bedroom in the winter, so I wasnt running the whole house heater all evening. I have had this for 5 months now and it has worked flawlessly! The remote is super handy as well. From the remote you can turn the power on, turn swivel off and on, increase the temp setting, and change the mode. Thats the other great thing it has a mode that just blows air like a fan, a low heat setting and a high heat setting. It also has an eco setting, but Im not quite sure what that does. The ONLY drawback Id say for this, is that you cant sent the timer from the remote. You have to set the timer on the unit itself. The timer is great too, you can set it for 30 minute increments, up to several hours. Ive never tested it, but it also has a tip feature that shuts the machine down if it falls over. Sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but this heater has been great for me!
If Companies want to operate in the US they should at least offer products made in this country and as consumers we should all demand that they do. It's not just that the Chinese make products that die prematurely wasting everyone's time and money, we need to realize that it takes the Earth's FINITE resources to make them and dispose of them as well.
Anyway, performance-wise the Delonghi TCH7690 Safeheat 28" tower ceramic heater is the same as any other 1500 Watt heater. Despite the marketing hype you may read from heater manufacturers, 1500 watts of input yields something under 1500 watts of output. That's it, I don't care how you slice it. So if you're in the market for a space heater, I would look for the most attractive, least expensive unit, made in America if it exists. And if not made in America at least backed by a US company that you can actually contact and who will gladly repair or replace the unit when (not if) it fails. This will not be too long if it's made in China.
Stay away from this product.
Amazon needs to do a better job of (a) quality control of products they sell, and (b) relaxing their Return policy when devices they sell/ship fail outright.

Pretty disappointed with this product. Worked fine for a three weeks and then one day it stopped blowing hot air. It would only turn on and then turn itself off. Too lazy to return it. Will be avoiding this company for now. What got me to buy this on was when it was mentioned as the top model to buy by Hammacher and Schlamer. I generally trust their taste (bought an amazing shower curtain from them) but I didn't know that not ordering from them would equate to getting a Lemon from Amazon.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat 1500W 28 In.

Like other reviewers, I now have a 28-inch piece of junk. This unit for the past 4 days would not operate properly, and I was too busy with other tasks to return it to Amazon. Well it died today [no red light indicating power], and it's 1 day past the Return policy! So, straight to the Trash.Stay away from this product.

Sunbeam SLP3300-UM Low Profile Heater with Adjustable Thermostat Reviews
This heater works fine if you have a small room to heat and have a couple hours to wait for it to make a difference. I should have done more research and learned what convection heating (like this one) is all about. There is no warm air that blows from the heater unit, rather it just gets hot and the warm air rises from it. If you are looking for faster and more directed heat...I suggest a heater with a built-in fan.
I took it apart to see if I could wire it back together and bypass the electronics. This one had already been worked on. The solder joint for the power cord was loose from the circuit board.
Threw it away and bought some Pelonis oil-filled space heaters. Rock solid.

pro: it seems to do a good job maintaing a temperature once you figure out the right dial positions. It doesn't keep swinging between too cold and too hot.
cons:
1. No temperature degrees markings I'd really prefer to be able to turn the dial to 70 degrees and know that it'll shut off at 70. The way it is now, I had to turn the dial all the way up, wait for the room to get too hot, turn it down a little, then a little more, etc. until it finally kept the room at a comfortable temperature.
2. Timer it'd be nice if it had a built in timer so it would turn on/off at preset times. Right now we just have to switch it off and then *hope* we remember to switch it on a few hours before we want the room to be warm.

Because the digital sister model SLP3310 would not work with a timer, I returned the 3310 to the big box store where I bought it and bought on-line 2 of the SLP3300 for $60 each & free shipping. The 3300 is analog, with 2 rotary dials. The 3300 will come back on after a power outage, and it will work with a 3-prong, 1875 watt timer. I use the 'low' heat setting with the thermostat on a modest setting, in a 12 x 14 foot room with 8 foot ceilings, and it keeps my (well insulated) bedroom very, very comfortable. Although Sunbeam has a lousy reputation in electric blankets, this 3300 heater appears well made. Note, the 'high' setting could burn paint off a wall if positioned too close.Best Deals on Sunbeam SLP3300-UM Low Profile Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

We tend to keep our central heating set pretty low (65 during the day, 61 overnight), but we have a newborn so we wanted to keep one of the rooms really warm.

Holmes Oscillating Desktop Ceramic Heater HCH5250 Reviews
Here's a quick video review...
The amazon ad says "desktop" mine doesn't say that so I bought it thinking it was a floor heater.. and it also says medium sized room, I'm using it in a large room just in front of the couch. I like it a lot and it makes me very warm and happy. If I was using it in a smaller room, it could probably heat the entire room. My build-in heater somehow was put in the ceiling.. and pointed away from this general area. So I bought this to keep my utility bill down. For the price of the product its really great, and it has a three year warranty. Not too many complaints, but it DOES has a fairly short cord, in my opinion, about 6 feet, and the manual says not to use an extension cord.

This is a great heater! I usually turn it on to heat up my dressing area. I have one in the bathroom, too. It works fast and efficient! We also use the heater in our motorhome when we have campsite electrical hook-ups. We like to use it instead of using the originally installed motorhome heater that runs off propane. I definitely recommend this heater for anyone looking for a quiet heater that heats up quickly and works great!Best Deals on Holmes Oscillating Desktop Ceramic Heater HCH5250

This little heater provides a lot of power for its size. I like how it moves about, back and forth, providing heat all around. It has a number of different settings, and I like that you can use it as just a fan in the summer time. You can also make it so that it doesn't turn back and forth, and just focuses on one spot. One reviewer said it's loud, but I think all space heaters make that blowing noise.The amazon ad says "desktop" mine doesn't say that so I bought it thinking it was a floor heater.. and it also says medium sized room, I'm using it in a large room just in front of the couch.

I fired this up for the first time and within five minutes it filled my room with a toxic stink from the poor quality plastics used to make it. In the past, I might have run it and hoped the smell would dissipate with time. I'm not going to do that anymore. Thanks Holmes, but I think I'll let you keep your poison blower.

We bought this heater to use in our living room and kitchen/dining area. We have all baseboard heat and our heating bills are usually through the roof. This heater does a good job and we are very happy, but there are a few things to point out.
1. It is a smaller heater than you might expect. It is half the price of an eden pure...but be advised that it's about half the size of the eden pure my parents have. That said, I think I'd rather have two of these than one eden pure that way I can space them out more.
2. This thing won't heat a 1000 sq/ft area. We use it in a 250-300 sq/ft living room that has an opening to our kitchen dining room that is about 250 sq/ft. It will heat up the room and maintain when it is as cold as the 20's outside...colder than that and we need to use our baseboard w/ this heater to get it up to temp (in about 10 minutes mind you)...and then this heater will do a great job of maintaining that heat on it's own. We did this down to about 4-5 degrees(F) outside and it worked great.
3. Haven't got a clue on heating bill, but it does draw some serious current. I have blown our breaker more than once by using this heater and our vacuum on the same outlet (always forget the heater is on...see 4)
4. Heater is very quiet and you won't even realize the thing is on except for seeing the orange glow back inside of the heater.
5. The wheels are awesome. We usually heat the living room for a few hours, then wheel it into the kitchen dining room for 20 minutes, then back for a couple hours.....super easy to do as you walk by and keeps both rooms at a comfy 71-74 degrees.
Bottom line is it is a great heater. It is drawing a lot of current but probably not more than 2 baseboard heaters that we virtually don't use now.....which have their own breaker each. I'd recommend it highly as it really gives you the cozy feeling that you don't get with those heaters that heat the air....compared to this one that heats you and the objects in the room. You can really tell the difference.
A lot of people buy this heater (24%) after looking at the EdenPure portable electric space heater. I am guessing that those who do are looking to save about fifty bucks over the cost of the EdenPure and believe (correctly) that it is a virtual replica of the EdenPure. And that would be just wonderful if the EdenPure portable electric space heater (and this one) lived up to the hype that surrounds it. The problem is neither one does...they are both being promoted with false premises.
In fact, some claims are pure lies. Take this one: "Testing shows, the Dr. HeaterTM has 60% more heat output compared to most other heaters on the market." Ask yourself, what testing and compared to what heaters? You should be highly suspicious anytime a claim such as this is made without reference to the actual testing. Who did the testing? When was the testing done? What heaters were tested in comparison to this one? Odds are that there was never any testing done because the claim they are making is ridiculous. Here's why: Electric heat is electric heat no matter how you slice it or dice it. The only way that a 1500 watt electric heater can have 60% more heat output than "most other heaters on the market" is if "most other heaters" are rated at 938 watts. Period. End of story. It doesn't matter how the electric heat is produced or delivered, if the wattage rating is the same then the heat output is the same.
The makers of this heater also throw around mysterious science sounding stuff like "PTC." So just what is PTC? It stands for positive temperature coefficient and that sounds pretty high tech, too, doesn't it? So what is it? It is a ceramic heating element that is designed to heat to a specific temperature and varies the wattage consumed in order to maintain that temperature. In other words, it's self regulating. That's actually a nice feature and a big improvement over the stupid light bulb in copper pipe design that is employed by the EdenPure. (EDIT: Oops, just noticed that Dr. Heater uses quartz light bulbs with a PTC element so they are nearly as dumb as EdenPure) But does it justify spending two hundred bucks (or more) on the Dr. Heater? Well that depends on what your heating goals are. Let's explore that a little more...
First of all the only way that this heater (or the EdenPure) is going to save you any money at all on your utility bill is if you change your lifestyle. If you, like most of us, live in a house with multiple rooms then you need to realize that this heater is designed to heat ONE room. And, depending on the climate in your location, that might turn out to be a pretty small room. And while this is going on the rest of the house is going to be colder, maybe a lot colder. If you can make it through the winter living in one room in your house then this might be the heater for you. Most of us, however, move about the house from room to room and we enjoy doing so in relative comfort. A portable electric space heater (regardless of brand name) is not going to heat your entire house. And if you did put an electric space heater in enough rooms to make the house comfortable you would absolutely freak out when the electric bill comes due.
Here is a little math to explain that:
Let's say that you have a 10 cent per kilowatt utility rate. Let's also say that the heater is on 50% of the time. There are 720 hours in a thirty day month so that would be 360 hours for 50% operation. 1500 watts x 360 hours is 540 kilowatt hours. Multiply that against a ten cent rate and you get 54 bucks. Think about that for a second or two: 54 bucks to heat ONE room in your house for a month. And remember, that is assuming that it's only on for half the time. What if it's on for 2/3's of the time? Or 3/4's of the time? Yikes! Not good, campers, not good at all. And holy cow, what if you live in New England where it's cold AND the electric rate is over 15 cents a KWH? Double yikes! This is why (with the exception of heat pumps) electricity based heating is your worst heating value. Always has been and always will be.
And if you do live in a place that gets really cold then this "heat one room" strategy could blow up in your face if it results in a frozen and broken water pipe in an area that you aren't heating properly. This could happen quite easily if the electric heater is in or near the same room that the whole house furnace thermostat is in.
So what's the bottom line? First of all remember that electricity is (usually but not always...see below) a terrible value in terms of heating. Then also remember that the only thing that counts with electric heaters is the wattage. The biggest electric heater that you can plug into a standard wall receptacle will be rated at 1500 watts and they all produce the same heat regardless of bogus claims made to the contrary. That is basic science. Third, ask yourself if you really want to live this way: A prisoner to the warmth in ONE room of your house. If these things are okay with you (and if you insist on spending two hundred bucks or more for the same heat that can be had for fifty bucks or less) then go for it. Just don't expect this portable electric space heater to keep your whole house comfortable (it won't) while simultaneously saving you bucket loads of money. It just isn't going to happen.
A better idea would be to invest some money in beefing up the insulation values in your home. Especially look at your floor. You would be surprised how many people live in a home (built over a ventilated crawl space) with an un-insulated floor. Take a look at sealing up cracks and crevices in exterior walls and around doors and windows where warm air leaks out and cold air can infiltrate. These fixes aren't particularly hard and after they are done they last forever. They aren't as sexy as magic electric heaters but they do work.
EDIT/UPDATE: See my comment (dated 3-7-2013 on page 15 of the comments for this review) where I discuss yet another alternative to the overpriced "magical" electric space heater, the PTHP. If you want to spend big bucks on an electrically powered heater then this is THE way to go. It's more than 100% efficient. Seriously, it really is. Best value out there for this sort of thing.
I would like to offer a couple of pointers so that you will be able to really enjoy your infrared heater.
1. This heater is a heavy duty 110/120V device and just like your refrigerator it's needs to be on a dedicated circuit. This means that a single line needs to be run from the circuit breaker box to where this heater plugs in. This heater has a very sensitive overload switch, so if the electric line isn't a dedicated line the heater will just shut itself down after a few minutes of use when being used in "Auto Mode" or "High Manual Mode". You may be able to use it in "Low Manual Mode" if there isn't too many other electrical devices drawing current.
2. This heater should be elevated about 18 inches above the floor. As you recall from school, warm air rises. If the heater is placed at floor level then it may run for hours and never show a temperature higher than 50 degrees and never shut down. But if you elevate it you can monitor the rise in temperature visually and the heater will only run when it needs to.

We bought this heater to use in our living room and kitchen/dining area. We have all baseboard heat and our heating bills are usually through the roof. This heater does a good job and we are very happy, but there are a few things to point out.
1. It is a smaller heater than you might expect. It is half the price of an eden pure...but be advised that it's about half the size of the eden pure my parents have. That said, I think I'd rather have two of these than one eden pure that way I can space them out more.
2. This thing won't heat a 1000 sq/ft area. We use it in a 250-300 sq/ft living room that has an opening to our kitchen dining room that is about 250 sq/ft. It will heat up the room and maintain when it is as cold as the 20's outside...colder than that and we need to use our baseboard w/ this heater to get it up to temp (in about 10 minutes mind you)...and then this heater will do a great job of maintaining that heat on it's own. We did this down to about 4-5 degrees(F) outside and it worked great.
3. Haven't got a clue on heating bill, but it does draw some serious current. I have blown our breaker more than once by using this heater and our vacuum on the same outlet (always forget the heater is on...see 4)
4. Heater is very quiet and you won't even realize the thing is on except for seeing the orange glow back inside of the heater.
5. The wheels are awesome. We usually heat the living room for a few hours, then wheel it into the kitchen dining room for 20 minutes, then back for a couple hours.....super easy to do as you walk by and keeps both rooms at a comfy 71-74 degrees.
Bottom line is it is a great heater. It is drawing a lot of current but probably not more than 2 baseboard heaters that we virtually don't use now.....which have their own breaker each. I'd recommend it highly as it really gives you the cozy feeling that you don't get with those heaters that heat the air....compared to this one that heats you and the objects in the room. You can really tell the difference.

...you need to invest a little time in thinking about 1) what it is you want it to do and, 2) coming to grips with what it is actually capable of.A lot of people buy this heater (24%) after looking at the EdenPure portable electric space heater. I am guessing that those who do are looking to save about fifty bucks over the cost of the EdenPure and believe (correctly) that it is a virtual replica of the EdenPure. And that would be just wonderful if the EdenPure portable electric space heater (and this one) lived up to the hype that surrounds it. The problem is neither one does...they are both being promoted with false premises.
In fact, some claims are pure lies. Take this one: "Testing shows, the Dr. HeaterTM has 60% more heat output compared to most other heaters on the market." Ask yourself, what testing and compared to what heaters? You should be highly suspicious anytime a claim such as this is made without reference to the actual testing. Who did the testing? When was the testing done? What heaters were tested in comparison to this one? Odds are that there was never any testing done because the claim they are making is ridiculous. Here's why: Electric heat is electric heat no matter how you slice it or dice it. The only way that a 1500 watt electric heater can have 60% more heat output than "most other heaters on the market" is if "most other heaters" are rated at 938 watts. Period. End of story. It doesn't matter how the electric heat is produced or delivered, if the wattage rating is the same then the heat output is the same.
The makers of this heater also throw around mysterious science sounding stuff like "PTC." So just what is PTC? It stands for positive temperature coefficient and that sounds pretty high tech, too, doesn't it? So what is it? It is a ceramic heating element that is designed to heat to a specific temperature and varies the wattage consumed in order to maintain that temperature. In other words, it's self regulating. That's actually a nice feature and a big improvement over the stupid light bulb in copper pipe design that is employed by the EdenPure. (EDIT: Oops, just noticed that Dr. Heater uses quartz light bulbs with a PTC element so they are nearly as dumb as EdenPure) But does it justify spending two hundred bucks (or more) on the Dr. Heater? Well that depends on what your heating goals are. Let's explore that a little more...

Best Deals on Dr Infrared Heater Quartz + PTC Infrared Portable Space Heater
I received the DR Heater, and so far it is AWESOME. I had another brand of heater, and it's in the basement already. Quiet isn't quite the word for this heater. I have a propane gas insert for our fireplace. I thought it had a quiet fan, until I turned the DR Heater on. The fan in the gas insert drowns out the DR Heater fan. I had to put my ear down to it to tell if it was running or not. The heat output is exactly what they clame it to be. It has twice the features as the $400.00 unit. My house is well insulated, so I am not sure how it will work for everyone else. I can tell you that I highly recommend this Heater. It's should be a money saver. This is an update. Whats nice about this heater is the two types of heat output. This heater has only one bulb in it, so when the bulb goes bad, you still have heat output. I had the bulb go out, and the company sent me a replacement bulb. I received great support from DR Heater. Will buy another one.Honest reviews on Dr Infrared Heater Quartz + PTC Infrared Portable Space Heater
I found that the heater generally does what it claims to do, except for the size of the room it is supposed to heat. We used it exclusively in our basement rec room and it had to struggle to get the room tempurature over 70 degrees running on high. Outside tempurature was normally in the mid thirties to the mid-forties. It ran very quietly, attractive and the remote system is great. The heater did not get hot, as advertised. It would probably work great in a smaller room such as a bedroom.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Dr Infrared Heater Quartz + PTC Infrared Portable Space Heater
While I've only had this heater a few days, it's already become one of my most prized possessions. I've used it to heat both a fairly large area of around 500 sq ft and a single 10x12 room. I believe it may be able to replace all 5 of my 1500 watt oil filled radiator heaters. Running on "High" the electric consumption is about 1.2 Kilowatts per hour as the manufacturer says. This heater heats very evenly. For example if the heater thermometer is reading 65 degrees you can go to the far end of the heating area and get a 65 degree reading there with a digital thermometer. Another big plus it that this heater doesn't adversely affect the humidity. In the large area I started and ended with 47% humidity. In the 10x12 room I started with 47% and ended with 39%, which then recovered back to 47% after the heater shut down. As far as any beefs, it can take several hours to bring the large area up to room temperature, but once you get it there the heater will cycle on and off to keep it there.I would like to offer a couple of pointers so that you will be able to really enjoy your infrared heater.

Reviews of Dimplex #EUAF2 Summer Fan Switch
I have a Dimplex 7.5KW garage heater, and this switch lets you bypass the heating elements so that you can use the heater as a fan in the warm weather.
The heater had cutouts and mounting space available for the unit, so installation only took a few minutes. It wires right in following the schematic on the underside of the heater...all in all, a neat looking installation.
Only complaint is that it seems to me this should be a standard built-in part of the heater, not something that you have to pay extra for. Otherwise, it does the job and transforms your garage/workshop heater into something usable year-round.

Cheap FRED Humidifier - Silver

List Price: $129.99

Today's Bonus: 8% Off

very simple steam humidifier. You should be aware of the types of humidifier and not be suprised at the hot steam and potential of accidental burns. If you have small child, you should not own this.
Pros:
Steam= no white dusts, no filters to change, bacterias are "boiled" off.
Stylish= no toy looking controls, no clear blue medical looking canisters
auto shut off when water is depleted
cons:
All plastic material shell(including the feet): now, I'm not sure if the outshell being metal is a good thing. It can potentially be a metal toaster oven if its made out of metal. Plastic does have a certain smell.. if you ever used a plastic electric water boiler, it smells just like that.
Designed in Swiss but made in China: don't be fooled by the swiss style design, this baby is geniue made in china.
The plastic chute is extremely hot, you can't touch that thing while the steamer is operating. Have to be careful.
Price: You are paying for the style, not functionality.
conclusion: only good if you want a steamer type humidifier and are turned off by cheap looking Vicks style steamer.
Very first night i used it the lid filled up with condensation then poured out the bottom onto my dresser. Took it apart, dried it out and planned to try one more time with a towel under it. No go, its completely dead & wont even power on.
Its very cute, but not even as functional as a vase because it leaks. For what it costs thats completely unnaceptable.

I don't write reviews often, but am really upset that I wasted so much money on this humidifier. My husband got this for me because I have frequent nose bleeds from the dry air. We used it for one week and was pleased with it because it was so quiet. I didn't like the hassle of having to take it apart daily to refill the water, but put up with it because it was cute. On the eighth day, I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't work. At all. The little blue light didn't even turn on. I took it apart and found a bunch of calcified deposits. The company states that it wasn't covered under the warranty because the instructions state that it should be "cleaned often." We had only used it for one week. Only buy this product if you are willing to take it apart and clean it almost daily (waste of time) because this poorly constructed piece of equipment is otherwise a huge waste of money. On a side note, we bought another product from them, the Max space heater. Although it still works, it doesn't work very well unless you're sitting about a foot away from it. We got another space heater that was about the same price and works infinitely better. I'm through with their products.Best Deals on FRED Humidifier - Silver
I bought this humidifier several years ago mainly because it was the only humidifier I ran across that didn't look like some big, plastic, medical equipment. It has work really well. The design is great! Super easy to fill and clean without a ton of parts. While it doesn't recede completely, it is at least whimsical and fun and like all Swizz designs, elegant and clean.Honest reviews on FRED Humidifier - Silver
If you are looking for a relatively basic but very stylish humidifier, Fred is the perfect choice. Fred is warm air humidifier with a few basic buttons which glow a futuristic blue at night. Most humidifies in this price range have more functions and larger water tanks, but look designed for a drab hospital. Although made of plastic, Fred feels very sturdy and solid. As far as humidifiers go, it looks cool. You won't need to hide it.The only complaint is the water container only last for 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for FRED Humidifier - Silver

Reddy Heater 50,000 BTU Propane Forced-Air Heater #RLP50V Review
I poked around on the manufacturers web site before buying this heater to heat my garage but the site was a little misleading in that they don't tell you that this shouldn't be used for an application like I wanted. It touted the heater as being odorless which it definitely wasn't! I don't have natural gas in my neighborhood so that was out, I didn't want one of the 100lb tanks that the other "vent free" models need so I'm going to try to get rid of this one as I've just replaced it with one of the 240v electric heaters that hang from the ceiling.
I'll give it three stars as I'm sure it will work well in an open construction environment which might rate a 5 but for my application it definitely gets a 1.Purchased this for my husband for woodworking in the garage. Heated the area to a very comfortable level despite single digit temperatures outside. Very pleased! Longmont,CO

I bought this milk frother largely because of its stainless steel look, and price is good. The quality is beyond my expectation, and it works just as expected. I have used manual forther before, this frother makes consistent creamy long-lasting foam. All I need to do is pour milk in right out of fridge and press the button. Other things I like: It makes hot froth and cold froth. There is a spout for easy pouring. Cleaning is easy too, and there is a brush come in the package for reaching and cleaning under the rotation drive.
A word about the defective item: The return of the defectinve item to Amazon was pleasantly painless and I received a full refund, but what really impressed me was the response from Lafraise. I was immediately contacted by their customer service department and offered a replacement at no charge. I have been in customer service for 42 years, and this is how you win customers. Lafraise didn't have to contact me or offer a replacement, but this is clearly a company that understands the importance of customer satisfaction. I am definitely satisfied.
these for the office and it blows the others away. Better froth. Easier to clean. Great product. Now I need another one
UPDATE: 2/22/13 Secura, Amazon, and Lafroise are ALL amazing! After posting my initial review, Amazon was willing to make an exception and accept my return, although I was outside the return period. In the meanwhile, I had contacted Secura, the manufacturer. They responded within hours and offered to send me a replacement immediately, with a prepaid label to return my unit at my convenience. Kelly and the customer care team at Secura were courteous, professional, and very helpful. Next thing I knew I got a message from Lafroise telling me the unit had a 2 year warranty and to return it to them for replacement. Well, you cannot ask for better customer service.
I don't think you could go wrong buying this product. I am unsure what went wrong with my unit, but sometimes things happen. I am impressed and happy that the Manufacturer, the retailer, and Amazon ALL stood by their product and went the extra mile to make it right. Secura offers a two year warranty--double most others. Can't wait for my replacement...miss my soy lattes!

Just got this toy a few days ago, already used it many times. Easy to use, just pour the milk in, press the power button once, in about 2 minutes, it turns all the milk into hot froth.

Very clean, no spill at all and the machine is very quiet.Best Deals on Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer
The first frother I received was defective. The replacement works perfectly. I love the clean design and heavy stainless steel construction. A choice of two whisks allows for either a little or a lot of froth, and it produces it quickly either hot or cold. If you choose to heat the milk, it heats it gently. The appliance is easy to clean with a non-stick interior and included brush.A word about the defective item: The return of the defectinve item to Amazon was pleasantly painless and I received a full refund, but what really impressed me was the response from Lafraise.

We have a family of 4 and when the girls have friends over we pop up a batch...I wouldnt go smaller than the 8oz kettle or you would have to make several batches. It looks great in our family room! Shipping was super fast and the seller was awesome to deal with! I would highly recommend this product!this popcorn maker is build very heavy and sturdy! makes excellent popcorn! came on time, and was easy to put together. love, love, love this popper machine!
