I have tried the quartz and ceramic heaters which often require a small fan to circulate air past the elements to heat the air. I have also been in homes that use natural gas for gravity heat, central air, built in electric ceiling heat, and a natural gas wall heater. Most of the gas or electric element heaters that I mentioned tend to dry out and remove some of the oxygen from the air which can cause that uncomfortable "soar throat and headache" feeling. These DeLonghi oil-filled radiators don't seem to negatively effect the air since they use clean electricity and simply heat up the air through efficient convection and radiation. This model TRD0715T has side metal tubing that creates more of a vacuum effect which seems to make the hot air blow out of the top of the unit without the use of a fan. DeLonghi rightfully nicknames this as a "Dragon model" since has the effect of a forced air heater without the noise or extra electricity requirements. On low 700W, medium 900W, or high 1500W settings you can feel the hot air at least two feet above the top of the heater. A simple analog thermostat dial enables you to choose your desired temperature level for the unit to operate at. Other nice features include a 96 position, 24 hour timer that allows you to customize when the heater turns on or off throughout the day. There are also some nice safety features such as an automatic shut-off if the unit is tipped over or if the temperature of the unit gets too high. Although the sides and top of the device get hot it does not burn you if you happen to accidently touch it. These devices are very efficient compared to the other electric heaters and many people use them as very efficient room space heaters and they are able to turn down their central air systems to save on gas or electricity.

PROS: This oil filled heater is clean, energy efficient, safe, and works well at heating small to medium sized rooms. The clever design allows for a hot air vacuum effect which heats a room faster, this model includes a 24 hour programmable timer. Retractable wheels allow you to easily move or store the device. The sealed oil-filled unit with auto shut off features makes it one of the safest electric heater designs.

CONS: Not as effective at heating large rooms that have poor insulation or large open areas. Energy efficiency is limited to use as a space heater in smaller to medium sized rooms or very well insulated larger rooms. The heated air is very non-directional compared to forced air or reflective quartz or ceramic electric space heaters. Similar to other types of large electric space heaters it requires a very high (up to 1500W) electrical current from a single outlet which can cause problems in homes or buildings with very old or poorly designed electrical systems. It does not have a digital LCD temperature display which is a common feature on many other space heater models.

SUGGESTIONS: On their high setting most electrical space heaters can draw as much electrical current as a big hair drier. Make a plan as to which room outlet you are going to plug this high current heater into since it is recommended that you do not have any other high current devices plugged into the same outlet or on the same circuit as this heater. If you have any of the previously mentioned issues with your electrical system consider using the low 700W or medium 900W settings to help prevent any problems with overloading the electrical circuit. If you are on a very tight budget and you don't need a programable timer take a look at the very low cost model EW0507W (I also own one of these) which has less features and no metal side tubing but uses the same basic oil-filled radiator technology. When brand new all models of these heaters give off a "wet paint" odor which in fact from an anti-corrosion chemical used to protect the unit during shipping. Simply keep the heater in a well ventilated area when you use it the very first time and the odor will go away for good after running it at the high temperature setting for a few hours.

THE BOTTOM LINE: This "Dragon model" TRD0715T safe heat oil filled heat radiator is the best room space heater I have ever used. I am so impressed with this heater that I have purchased two of them. I give it the highest rating of FIVE out of FIVE STARS.

Just bought this, still deciding whether to keep it. Ran a little experiment, thought it might give folks an idea of what to expect.

Room size: 154SF (11x14)

Finished, unheated basement room, with one insulated external wall, the rest uninsulated interior walls. No windows, door closed.

Outside temp: 15F

Put heater in center of room

Put thermometer on a desk 6 feet away

Started at 10:20AM with a cold heater set on high, measured for 5 hours

10:20AM 49.6F

11:20AM 55.9F

12:20PM 59.9F

01:20PM 62.6F

02:20PM 64.4F

03:20PM 65.8F

So roughly 2 hours to raise the temp 10F, 4 hours to raise the temp 15F

Unfortunately, I suspect that none of the competing electric heaters would do significantly better, since they're all limited to 1500W. Since I'm reluctant to try a fuel-burning heater in an unventilated space, I may stick with this Delonghi and call it good enough.

Here's a review from the perspective of having used one of these for an entire winter. I bought one of these a year ago so we could set our natural gas heat on a very low temprature at night during the winter and still keep the master bedroom warm. Here are my observations.

1. It performed flawlessly and was so quiet we wouldn't even know it was there.

2. The timer is what sold me on the unit. 24 hours divided into small time intervals which may each be turned on or off give huge flexibility in when this heater runs and doesn't. It's on automatically only when you want it on.

3. The heat comes out the top. The sides stay very "cool" for a heater. I can put may hands on the sides for about a half a second, which means that touching the heater accidently on the sides probably won't cause a burn. It really seems to be built with safety in mind.

4. I would, of course, still follow the directions with regard to how close it is placed to other objects. As an additional safety measure, I bought a large, thick ceramic tile to put on the carpet, and then I put the heater on the tile.

5. There is an oily smell that seems to come from the heater when it is new out of the box and after being turned on for the first time after being in storage for the summer. When we first activated ours two nights ago we smelled it, but tonight not so much.

6. Some seem to have had build quality issues and I can't comment on that because we seem to have received a good one.

7. I live in the Pacific Northwest where the winter temperatures rarely get below 30 degrees. I know in some places it gets way colder than that, and I have no idea how well this heater would keep you warm under those circumstances.

8. Right now we're running it in the family room to see if we can leave the electric baseboard heaters off for the winter. Of course, if this experiment succeeds, we'll have to buy another one of these heaters for the bedroom.

9. I have two small children, and once I've explained to them that they need to stay away from it, I have no safety worries for them.

So far, this is far and away the safest, quietest, and most effective space heater I've ever owned. For me, it sure beats a box with glowing orange heating elements and a fan!

Postscript: I bought a second one. When you are unpacking it, beware that there may be bits of styrofoam down in the heater. Look for those and get them out of there before you power it on for the first time. That may save some you some stinky fumes, but still follow the directions and let it run on full power with a lot of ventilation for at least two hours or more. I bought a second unit and ran it for three hours with the window open.

Second Postscript: Well, we bought a second one to see if it was more efficient than the baseboard heaters in our family room. We turned the baseboards off and ran this heater using the timer to have it be on about six out of every twenty four hours. Surprisingly, our electric bill this December was significantly higher than last December, and this is about the only thing different about our energy consumption. So, that experiment seemed to have failed, and then the timer on the second heater failed only ten weeks after we purchased it, so I took it back to where I bought it and decided to take a credit instead of a replacemet. I still love having the one in the bedroom for those cold winter nights though.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRD0715T Safeheat 1500W Portable Oil-Filled Radiator

I've had an old Delonghi oil-filled space heater for 15 years or more. It had a recall on the control panel. The last few years it has been leaking oil on high setting. So I searched and decided on the newest version of the old Delonghi.

This is a good product with easy control and a clever timer feature (took me a while to figure out, though NOT obvious, and I'm reasonably bright and handy!).

Only complaint, and it is fairly serious: when new, it stinks when run on high setting, which is only 1500 watts, after all.

There was a paper in the packing that said to expect some off-gassing at first. Well, I've run the thing for 5 days on high heat and it still smells toxic when running on high heat. The paint finish gives off some sort of fumes for days and days. I still cannot stand to run it on the high setting indoors at all. It really smells bad like curing oil-based paint.

It really stinks! I've been running it in the basement and it still is not nearly acceptable for indoor use.

I trust I will eventually be able to use it in an actual room. I'll give it five more days of blasting away. I may have to send it back. It is pretty heavy, though; I'd lose a lot of money on the deal from shipping costs.

The unit caught fire last night. It looked to be a short inside the front panel that caused the fire. Fortunately we had not fallen asleep yet and were able to unplug it and put out the fire.

Honeywell 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater with Digital Controls Review

THE HONEYWELL HZ-709: I'm on my sixth oil-filled radiator heater. It's a Honeywell HZ-709, the only satisfactory one I've found currently on the market. The first Honeywell I bought worked very well for one season. When I began experiencing problems, I found customer service to be very responsive and responsible.

THE OTHERS: I had a Lakewood which worked very well, but Lakewood doesn't make these heaters anymore. I've also tried two different DeLonghi radiators. Both of them continued to put out irritating fumes even after the break in period. Back they went. Likewise for the Holmes I bought. It gave off a low-level odor that I didn't find too noxious at first; but after the first few hours I developed a continuous and worsening headache + nausea that wouldn't quit unless I left the house. It didn't put out as much heat as the Honeywell either. I gave it two days to prove itself, then gave up on it.

THE WARRANTY: So I've purchased a second Honeywell. As I said, the first one worked beautifully for one season. I cranked it up again this fall and it worked fine for a few days. Then, suddenly, the heater started to put out nasty fumes. It smelled like a CFL bulb when they go bad very nasty. It still worked and I couldn't find any leaking oil. I think the problem was in the control panel. I called customer service because, unlike other heaters, the Honeywell has a three-year warranty. Customer service was very thorough and efficient. The guy I spoke to told me he would waive the $10 return fee (?!!), but he wanted me to ship the heater back at my expense. When I objected, he put me on hold for a short time, then came back and told me that this one time I could just cut off the cord and send it. This I did, and I'm waiting on my replacement heater. Meanwhile I bought another because I wanted a second heater of this type anyway.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEATERS: I really prefer oil-filled radiators as opposed to forced-air or open-element heaters. They are quiet, slow, even, efficient, and safe. But you have to use them correctly. You can't come into a 60 degree room, crank up one of these radiators, and expect instant warmth. Rather than sending out a fan-driven blast of warm air, it transfers heat to the air and the objects around it by natural convection. Radiator is a misnomer they should be called convectors.

(True radiant heaters, such as quartz heaters, use infrared heat (electromagnetic radiation) to warm objects (and people) rather than the air. This is, in principle, exactly how the sun heats. The air may remain cool, but if you stand in the sunshine you will be warmed by radiation. Infrared heat is great if you can afford it. Quartz heaters will make your electric bill resemble NASA's budget. Apparently, buying a little piece of the sun is a very expensive proposition.)

Back to the oil-filled gadgets. As the heating element inside the convector (aka radiator) heats the oil, a current is generated in the oil because warm oil is more buoyant. The warm oil rises and gives up its heat, via the metal fins, to the colder air. The heated oil constantly rising from the bottom displaces the cooling oil which circulates back down to the heat coil to be heated again etc. etc. Meanwhile, the heated air is rising, forming its own convection current and is circulating throughout the room without any mechanical aids. This gentle current of air ultimately feels warmer than forced air because you are not contending with the "breeze" created by a fan-driven system. The use of natural convection circulation saves money because there is no fan using additional electricity.

If your room cools to, say, 55 degrees for a while, then so do all the objects in it. In a typical room, that's a lot of mass to bring back up to the desired temperature. Until everything reaches the desired temp, all that mass is soaking up the heat from whatever source you use. I find that these convection heaters are best used over a long period of time to warm the room and all the objects in it, then to maintain a comfortable temperature. To that end I wish the timer were set up to turn ON the heater (like an hour or two before I wake up or arrive home from work) rather than to turn OFF the heater at a preset time. That would make much more sense to me.

THE CONTROLS: The only other caveat to the timer is that if you accidentally turn it on by flicking the center button, your heater will cut off unexpectedly in whatever number of hours you unwittingly chose. Some of the "malfunctions" listed in other reviews may be due to accidentally setting the timer. The other controls work very well and the heater puts out a large, consistent volume of heat for a relatively modest increase in my power bill. The thermostat for this heater is apparently located near the floor. My floor is very cold, so the recorded temperature on the heater panel reads lower than the room temp. I monitor the actual room temperature and reset the heater thermostat accordingly. Right now it is 44 degrees outside, a comfy 72.5 inside, but the heater panel reads 68. This is in a very old, drafty, poorly-insulated 600 sq. ft. unit with no other intentional source of heat.

SUMMARY: Oil-filled heaters are quiet, efficient, and safe. The cats can and do sleep right up against it without burning themselves. It will not catch the curtains afire. There is no noisy, inefficient fan. Of all similar heaters, this Honeywell is the best -well worth the additional price. It is obviously made to higher quality standards than the other, cheaper heaters I've tried. It carries a three-year warranty, and the company stands behind its product. It heats the room without poisoning the air. If they made an even better one and charged even more, I'd buy it!

The Honeywell HZ-709 comes very well packaged with solid styrofoam wrapped around the unit all inside a heavy duty cardboard box. When I opened mine I wasn't surprised that there wasn't a scratch on it. It comes with the radiator unit, four plastic casters, two brackets, two u-bolts, owners manual, and warranty card. There is basic tool-free assembly required to put on the casters, but its so easy a cave man could do it. The instructions to do this are also very easy to understand.

Once the unit is assembled then it is time to plug it in. The digital settings are very easy to adjust with one power button and three two-way switches. One switch is for adjusting the thermostat, which can be set to the max of eighty five degrees fahrenheit. Another is for setting the power low (600 watts), medium (900 watts), and high (1500 watts). The last switch is for setting a hourly timer for shutting the unit off. The temperature switch can also be used to change from fahrenheit to celsius within the first few seconds of powering the unit on. Let me add that this unit is extremely silent, I had to check it a few times to make sure it was on.

I purchased this heater a few weeks ago from Target after we got a blast of cold weather (hovering below and above freezing at night) for a couple of weeks because my home does not have central heat and air and I have about 20 space heaters of which none have ever made my house feel close to warm during the winter. I decided on this unit because it was the most expensive one so I figured it must work for that price and plus I had never tried a oil filled radiator style heater before. I am so glad I decided on this heater.

This heater is in my bedroom which is roughly 700 square feet 26x26. I have a 52" ceiling fan which I set to low on the updraft setting. I tried to place the heater in the center of the room but the cord was too short, but I do have a pretty huge bedroom, so I just put it as far as it would go toward center from the wall outlet. I turned the heater on the highest power setting and highest temperature setting about 5:00pm on an evening that was going to drop below freezing. I have a thermometer on my night stand and the temp in the room read fifty nine degrees. By the time I went to sleep at around 10:00pm the temperature had already raised to seventy two degrees. When I woke up the next morning the temperature was seventy eight degrees. I was shocked!!! It was actually warm in my room. My wife was in shock too. What is amazing is that the unit itself is not extremely hot to the touch like quartz radiant heaters are, while it is still hot I don't feel like it is a fire hazard like quartz heaters are and I feel comfortable leaving it on all the time, even when I am not home. I am still a bit confused on how it does such a great job of heating but it really does. For the past two weeks I haven't been cold in my bedroom at all and I love this heater. It hasn't gone above seventy eight degrees in my bedroom, but I don't want it more than that anyway. It was definitely worth the money. I want to purchase 2 or three more of these units for the whole house now.

I just wanted to update my review a little after a year that I wrote it. It went through another winter and kept us warm, I had since bought a couple more. Still very happy with the units. I had people ask about energy consumption and decided to put a formula on here so you could figure it out for yourself since it would be different for everyone:

It is very easy to figure how any electrical device will affect your electric bill.

Use the formula:

Cost = (watts x hours used x rate per kwh) / 1000

So if you use the unit on high (1500 watts) for 12 hours a day at your electric company's kilowatt hour rate (mine is always changing but usually stays around .02 cents per kwh) then divide that number by 1000 you get your cost which would be:

Cost = (1500 watts x 12 hours x 0.02 kwh charge) / 1000 = $0.36 cents per day or for 30 days: 30 x 0.36 = $10.80

You can use the formula for any electronic device in your home.

I just bought this unit from Target, and it is great.

First of all, it is very quiet. The only noise is the sound of oil percolating around in metal housing, which is actually soothing. It is powerful enough to heat our average size bedroom (about 15'x15') even on the lowest setting, and it is below freezing outside.

It is really nice to have a thermostat. You can set it and it will keep your room at a constant temperature. The non-digital model is about $20 cheaper, but just get this one. I've used heaters with no thermostat, and you can never get it to hold constant at a nice temperature. You will wake up too hot or too cold.

The Honeywell costs a little more than the cheap-o brand, but it is WELL worth it. The first radiator heater I bought was cheap-o from Walmart. It made a really loud electrical arcing noise every time it kicked on. It was loud enough to wake us up. It sounded like those weapons from War of the Worlds.

Update: Durable too. We've had ours for.. 5 years?? Still works!

Honest reviews on Honeywell 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater with Digital Controls

We loved ours! A lot of the people who are having problems with it shutting itself off randomly are probably playing with the middle button on the unit it is some kind of timer. We never used it, but realized when we had the same problem.

Our problem is that the oil pan must have burst or something I came into the kitchen one day and there was a brown puddle on the floor and the thermostat was registering 90 degrees. So thankful it didn't catch on fire or anything, but if it hadn't been on linoleum it would have left a nasty mess on the carpet. Returned it to the store no problem, but we were unable to replace it with the same model as it was not in stock.

I've owned this for a little over a year. I was quite pleased with it until I noticed that my electrical outlet had black around it I pulled the plug and saw that the plug was melting causing it to short. I blamed the outlet only to find another outlet making hissing/sparking noises shortly thereafter (and more melting) the problem is the plug becomes warm either by being close to the unit when on, or from electrical resistance this warms up the rubber/plastic separating the prongs causing the less electricity resistance and voila you have a potentially lethal problem. Even with the unit off the plug will continue to spark/short/melt. Don't know why the circuit breaker didn't blow it must not be enough to trigger. Buyer beware. I'm contacting Honeywell today.

Got this item under used but it said Like new / and it was i could not see where it was even taken out of the box,not a scratch looks great works great got it for a steal at $55.34 with free shipping,best buy this year to date better then the duraflame i bought for $139.00 that didnt look anything like the picture.

There was one thing i had to do to it there was an area that was rubbing probably happened in transit,just took the back off seen where it moved and put it back took me less than 15 mins. and the rubbing sound was gone it was hardly noticeable to begin with.

Has to on and off switches one for heat and one for flame display also has a knob for the thermostat there is no way to adjust the flam display from little flame to a lot of flame but its set perfect the light display is better then others i have seen where the flame looks like it breaks apart from the fire and logs and floats away.

I hope this was helpful i do not usually write review mainly because of my poor spelling but this was a great deal and i know how hard it is to get a straight up answer and to the piont on something its almost like russian roulette you just dont know sometimes.

Gunderson-PC i alomost forgot the plastic or resign logs are in about the most realistic shape as you can get for this price very nice logs pionting up toward the middle and a pile of embers on the bottom with very attractive flames

Whoever shipped this product was remiss in several areas: It was poorly packed, not enough protection. The outer box was not marked "fragile" ( which it is) or "this side up" ( which it should have been). A part of the log fixture broke off, and was rattling around in the box; several fragments broke off, though it is somewhat still useable. The spinning fixture kept bumping into the plastic in front of the log, and would stop completely. With a little tinkering, my husband was able to make it operable, but he should not have had to do this. Also, one of the doors was broken off, possibly in transit.

This little heater has saved us now through two winters and truly has kept us nice and toasty warm! We have two, one upstairs and one downstairs and they heat the entire area with ease. The front of the unit doesn't get much hotter than a TV digital box or a computer, and our cats can very safely lay in front of it without getting their fur burnt by the coils or grate (since it is plastic). The temperature control is a wonderful feature as well, we end up using this instead of our gas heat in the house (it ends up being cheaper).

The other thing we like is the auto shutoff if it DOES get to hot! That way the heater turns off and doesn't overheat for any reason, reducing the fire risk with some other ceramic heaters.

All in all I would definitely recommend this heater to anyone who needs one!

Purchasing anything made in China is like playing Roulette.

Based on my experience with one unit I have had for years and has worked well, I purchased two more on 2/12/12.

Of those two one has already stopped working and the problem seems to be in the ALCI plug. I am already past Amazon's return date so I've lost my gamble on one. Time will tell on the other one.

So buy if you like to play the Chinese quality Roulette...

We have had two of these heaters for roughly 3 years. We mounted ours on the wall in our family room and one in our guest room. We like they are on the wall out of way safe from causing a fire. We love that they keep the room a constant temperature. We keep our house cool at night, but if someone stays in our guest room, they can set the temperature how they want it. Also, we keep one in our family room. We don't have to keep the entire house at 70, we can keep it at 65 or lower if we want, and then set the family room temperature how we want if we are watching a movie or reading. Great product and very very inexpensive to use.

I strongly caution anyone against purchasing a Haier product. Haier has far and away the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I purchased a Haier Portable Air Conditioner in July 2011. The unit was "dead on arrival," completely nonfunctional. When I called Haier customer support, I was instructed to make a service appointment.

Nearly four months later, after four separate visits from the servicer to my home, the unit remained as nonfunctional as when it first arrived. During this time, I spent countless hours on the phone with at least half a dozen Haier representatives, none of whom was even remotely helpful. Interacting with Haier's customer support was truly excruciating; I would rather jab a needle repeatedly into my eye than endure it again. Most agents were both incompetent and unsympathetic. In numerous instances, I was denied access to a supervisor, told instead I would have to wait for a call back, but never received one. On the rare occasion I was privileged to speak to a "supervisor," I quickly discovered that the person to whom I spoke had no authority or capacity to resolve my situation in any kind of satisfactory (much less expedient) manner. For all their ineptitude, the members of the Haier team have attained expert status when it comes to "passing the buck."

Following the second service visit, in September, I requested a refund, which Haier's corporate office rejected, without ever bothering to inquire about the circumstances which led me to make such a request in the first place, and without ever informing me of this decision, despite a stated policy of notification within 24 to 48 hours.

At the fourth service visit, in November, the repairman told me he intended to reorder parts which had already been replaced on a previous visit, as well as a power cord he knew was not actually broken. He was appropriately apologetic, but said that was the best he could offer me under Haier's warranty. He confided that these units are notoriously unreliable, and that he would advise against buying one.

Finally, after repeated calls (bordering, out of necessity, on badgering), I succeeded in submitting a formal complaint as well as a second refund request to a customer specialist from Haier's corporate office. Though this individual professed a strong desire to assist me, I remained skeptical of Haier's commitment to resolving the situation to my satisfaction, given that she immediately questioned whether a refund would be feasible, again citing the "terms of the warranty." Sure enough, a week later, I learned that my refund request had been denied again (though, on this go round, Haier was at least kind enough to inform me.) After a brief exchange with the Haier messenger revealed she had no knowledge of my specific case, I relented to a superior adversary and accepted Haier's ever-so-generous concession to process an exchange (provided, naturally, I could jump through a few more hoops and complete a shipping assignment at my own expense.) I look forward to receiving another broken product, which will sit in a state of partial disassembly on my living room floor for four more months while I patiently receive another parade of repairmen with six hour appointment windows.

Haier offers a captivating combination of shoddy craftsmanship and shameful customer service. It is my sincere hope that potential Haier customers will learn from my experience and avoid doing business with this company.

When I noticed this unit had only one star I figured I had to do something. I have owned several portable AC units and this one is by far the best. Before purchasing I read several reviews that were on the Costco site and the consensus was pretty much 50/50 so I was at first a little unsure. Believe me when I tell you that the dual hose design is far superior. I will never buy a single hose unit again after owning this one. My only complaint is that the drain plug is a real hassle to remove if you want to drain the water. I may try a little soap on that. Haier makes several models that look like this one but don't be fooled. This is the model you want. I wonder if the other reviewer was mistaking this for another model that looked the same or maybe New York weather is far worse. In any case this unit couldn't work better in the Pacific Northwest.

Best Deals on Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

If you read up on the differences between a single hose design vs a dual hose design there are several advantages to a dual hose vs a single hose. In a single hose design your indoor air is pulled through the system to cool the compressor and vented out the exhaust hose. This creates a negative pressure in your house and pulls more hot air inside your home which then has to be cooled... this makes a fairly significant difference in how effective these portable A/C units are.

With a dual hose design there is an intake hose pulling outside air through the unit to cool the compressor and then exhausted back out which does not create the negative pressure in your home...

Here is where this Haier unit is a big fat lie. The intake hose is almost cosmetic. It does in fact pull some air through this hose but there is a very large venting grate on the side of the unit that is exposed to the air in your room thus pulling air through this vent and only a portion through the intake hose which effectively defeats the entire purpose of a dual hose. If you have the intake hose hooked up and the unit is not running hot air just pours into the hose and heats up your room.

Point is... if you're looking for a dual hose you'll have to modify this one to actually make it work as one (probably going to void any warranty), if you want a single hose you might just want to get a smaller unit than this "dual" hose.

7/23, update.

The unit really does work pretty well (again, noting is really is a single hose design unless you choose to block off the air intake grate I've mentioned) The unit is fairly loud (it's an A/C...not surprised) and the display is a very bright blue which can be irritating at night. The unit does build up water in the collection tank but I only need to empty it maybe once every 2 weeks and I only run the unit about 4 hours most night... (I live in Utah so the humidity levels are fairly low) I bought the unit refurbished and for the price I paid I'm pretty happy so far. Changing my review from 2 stars to 3...

Honest reviews on Haier CPN14XC9 14K Portable Air Conditioner

I have owned this same unit for almost 3 years now. I bought it from Costco for around $325 then, and we have used it non-stop for two summers. it keeps our downstairs (around 1,100 square feet) FRIGID. All of these negative comments make me think i must have got a winner out of a big batch of losers, or all of these people expect a "central-air experience" from a $300 portable unit.

It beats the hell out of any window unit i've owned in the past

It is a bit heavy and awkward to carry, but luckily that only needs to happen twice a year; once to put it in the house, and once again to put it back in the garage. Also, it has wheels! We roll ours around even with it attached to the window since the hoses flex.

I love this A/C unit, and recommend it all the time. If you're hot, get one

I had this unit for a few months and used it three times. It works ok but does not cool the amount of space that is referenced in the paperwork. The fourth time it was running and suddenly stopped. The circuit breaker in the power cord popped and couldn't be reset. I tried to order a new power cord but it's been on backorder for 6 months now. Needless to say now the warranty is up so I have to buy the cord which is about 65-70 bucks. The part is nowhere to be found so the unit is useless. The company is no help, the part was supposed to be available months ago but is still not available. Don't buy this or you'll be stuck with a useless large plastic cabinet that does nothing.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program UPDATE: Days are now colder and I am demanding more of my foot heater. The Fellowes Heat & Slide Footrest doesn't do an adequate job of keeping my feet warm (I have to slide my foot around the footrest to find the heat). On the flip side, my favorite foot heater (Vornado, see below), does an excellent job of keeping my feet warm (& I love the fan). I've down-rated the Fellowes from 3 stars to 1 star. Spend your money on the Vornado & you won't be disappointed.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I LOVE a good Foot Heater & have been using the Vornado EH1-0039-06 225-Watt SoleAire Foot Rest and Personal Space Heater for the past 3 years in my office. The Vornado has a fan & does a great job of distributing heat. The only drawback of the Vornado is that it has a fixed foot position & if you try to move the footrest, sometimes the rubber feet with come off & you have to bend down to put them back in.

This Fellowes Foot Heater does not have a built in fan & warms your feet with a gentle warmth that takes a little time to get warm once you turn it on. The heat seems to come from the middle (around your foot arch) & mine seems to be warmer on my left foot side. The foot heater does an OK job but you have to be shoe-free to enjoy the gentle warmth that this machine provides.

The Fellowes heater gives the user the ability to adjust their foot position, which is a nice feature. However, the heater moves fairly easily, so it seems that I am constantly adjusting my foot position & sometimes have to bend down under my desk to adjust it by hand.

I have let the "time" expire on the foot heater a couple of times. When that happens, the red button flashes. The first time this happened, I simply pushed the flashing button & it stopped. The second time, I had to unplug the unit a couple of times before I could get the button to stop flashing.

I will use this Fellowes heater in my home office because it is here. If I had to choose the Vornado over the Fellowes (price not a factor), I would choose the Vornado without hesitation.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest is no beauty to look at, so if you can hide this black and gray plastic footrest, that's for the best. It snaps into place very quickly and includes four floor protectors to keep from marring the floor or denting the carpet too badly. The knobby textured surface for one's feet looks like a blown up toad's back but the bumpy protrusions do feel pretty good on one's soles.

The heat is pretty subtle, as you can feel some warmth but not so much as to make you dance about. In fact, the best aspect is that you turn it on and just forget about it. I tend to slide it back and forth a bit, so I hope the plastic channels are durable. The automatic off setting for the heater is a thoughtful default.

I expect as the days cools down, there may be some degree of competition between the cats and me for using this footrest, and if it holds up, this footrest is a nice creature comfort. Be careful not to use it to peer into the upper reaches of a closet or top of a bookcase---this footrest will buckle and bend under any real weight.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My office is located in the corner part of a building and three sides are brick walls. Fall and Winters are terribly cold. It is so cold that I have a portable heater always blowing on me. Since I got the Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest, the days for double socks are long gone. The Fellowes Heated Footrest Provides heat on top and below the footrest. That means you can be working away at your desk and and rubbing your feet on the the massing bumps on the top of the footrest and reviving the circulation in your legs and feet. If the massage is not your thing, you can just place your feet below the footrest and let the heat hit the top of your feet.

It is amazing how just warming your feet can have a warming effect on the rest of your body. Besides giving warmth, improves leg circulation, offers support and overall posture while reducing the chances of lower back problems.

There is an auto-off feature turns off the unit after 8 hours of use, so no need to worry after you got home if you forgot to turn it off. Hands-free operation. It loses 1-star because I wish it had some kind of controlling the heat settings.

I just love how all the girls at work are jealous of my heated footrest. :-)

Honest reviews on Fellowes Heat and Slide Footrest, Black/Grey (8080901)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In their eagerness to avoid lawsuits and setting customers on fire, the people at Fellowes have created a heated footrest that doesn't particularly work. Bulky, unattractive, exuding the heat of a used oven mitt, this Heat and Slide Footrest is an almost total misfire. Read on for the details:

APPEARANCE/ADJUSTABILITY: Cumbersome and ugly. The footrest is relatively lightweight, which is nice. The adjustable top is jerky but does stay in place fairly well.

HEAT: On top of the unit is best, with a distinct heat emitting from most of the surface. The only problem is, you are supposed to wear your shoes (see photo at top of product page), according to their instructions. Through shoes you are not going to feel this level of heat, and the "massage" bumps are meaningless. Underneath the unit there is almost no heat whatsoever, despite the promises of the product page. Pretty much nothing is happening (sparking my sister to wonder if our unit came broken. I don't think so, as other reviewers noted the same problem.)

So there you have it. Use it as they tell you to, and it won't work. There are better heated footrests on the market and so there is no point to wasting money on this one. More or less useless, and rating:

GRADE: D

It also makes a weird snapping noise from time to time.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program While this footrest does a fair job of warming your feet, I wouldn't call it a necessary item for your daily use in a drafty office or home. It takes quite a while to actually get your feet warm using this device; though when they do get toasty, they stay that way. If you are strictly looking for a footrest, I would say there are better devices for that application. I guess I was hoping it would be more practical than it actually seems to be. Nonetheless, it does work for the purpose in which it was designed.

Max Burton 6000 1800-Watt Portable Induction Cooktop, Black Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $125.00
Sale Price: $79.04
Today's Bonus: 37% Off

As an experienced cook with many years of cooking with Induction under my belt, I would like to share my experience, and clear up a lot of bad information propagated by some well meaning, but totally unqualified people who have submitted comments about the Max Burton 6000 Induction Cooker. I am also an Electronics & Mechanical Engineer, giving me additional insight into some of the issues being discussed.

First off, this Induction Cooker is a tremendous bargain, comparing favorably with products many times its cost. It is truly an 1800 Watt (input) Induction Cooker. Induction Cookers cannot be compared in any way to simple hotplates that use a resistive heating element. Electric hotplates, similar to conventional gas and electric burners are at best around 50% efficient. The wasted heat simply goes into heating your kitchen and makes your stove and cookware handles scorching hot. Induction Cooking is typically 80-90% efficient. Remember that even though the Max Burton 6000 is a great value, it is still a light duty, "entry level" Induction Cooker (NOT for continuous commercial cooking use). If it is used properly, it should give years of reliable service. Even though I own a big Wolf commercial gas range, Induction hobs such as this have become my cooking "weapon of choice".

You can consider the following to be "Induction Cooking 101". This will help cooks who are new to Induction Cooking get a quick grip on the basics:

Cookware: Your satisfaction with Induction Cooking is directly proportional to the quality of your cookware. The cookware MUST have the following two characteristics:

First: At least the bottom must be ferrous (in other words, a magnet must strongly "stick" to it). Hint: Take a magnet with you when searching for cookware.

Second: Your cookware must also be a good heat conductor of heat. Induction cooking only generates heat in a 5-7" circle in the bottom of your pan. The heat conduction characteristics of the pan allow the heat to travel outward and up the sides of the pan. If the pan is a poor heat conductor, you will have a small hot spot in the center of the pan, and the rest will be relatively cool. The best cookware is triple-clad (magnetic stainless steel outside, aluminum or copper center layer, non-magnetic stainless interior cooking surface). Vollrath "Tribute" cookware is my favorite (not inexpensive, but really performs great!!). Next best is a laminated pad or "cap" on the bottom of a stainless pan (similar to the totally triple-clad, but doesn't conduct much heat far up the sides of the pan). Cast Iron and Enameled Cast Iron works fairly well for slow cooking and braising, but in spite of popular belief, it is not a great conductor of heat, and can exhibit hot spots if used at high heat settings. AGAIN, Induction Cooking has no radiant energy, nor a gas flame to heat the sides of your cookware. Your cookware MUST be a good heat conductor!

Yes you can preheat an empty pan (if you follow my directions)!. First a little information about the way your Induction Cooker senses the temperature of your pan. The heat sensor is located under the glass/ceramic cooking surface. Because of the thickness of this surface, it takes a finite amount of time for heat from the bottom of the pan to "soak" downward through the cooking surface in order to reach the temperature sensor. If you select a high heat or temperature setting initially, the pan will quickly get screaming hot before the heat sensor "knows" about it (a phenomenon called "overshoot"). The remedy is to start your pan in the "temp" mode at a low temp. setting (like 180°F). Once the pan, cooking surface and temp sensor has stabilized (you will hear a clicking sound as the cooker cycles the power on and off), you can advance to higher settings in a similar way and get on with your cooking.

I have read the comments about some users developing cracks in the top surface of the plastic housing to the left of the display & keypad. This is almost certainly caused by using cookware that laps over the edges of the cooking surface, or using very high heat settings, The flat part of the bottom of your cookware should not exceed 10 1/2" inches.

Unless you are bringing a pot of water to a boil, resist the temptation to cook at the higher heat and temperature settings unless it is really necessary. Remember that Induction Cooking pumps an astonishingly great amount of thermal energy into the BOTTOM of your cookware. Make sure that you and your cookware are up to the task!

The only big gripes that I have with the Max Burton 6000 is the INTOLERABLY LOUD BEEPER and the incredibly stiff, cheap power cord ("MAX", ARE YOU READING THIS??!!). As a qualified engineer, I have already "reasoned" with the beeper. . .

Happy Cooking! Bob Ziller

There's good news and bad news. I bought this unit as a training unit to check out the technology and have a good extra hob on hand for times when we strain our kitchen resources. The intent is to eventually equip our kitchen with an induction cooktop for energy efficiency.

The good news is that the technology works as advertised. It's remarkably quick and has plenty of power despite running off a normal power outlet. The bad news is that on this unit the heating element (if that is the correct terminology) is only about 7 to 8 inches across. It worked fine when we made soups, though we did notice that only the middle boiled or simmered. However, when frying, the limitation of the element size became a problem. We used a lodge 12" cast iron skillet to fry fish. The center of the pan put a beautiful tan on the panko, but the outside of the pan was relatively cool, requiring that each piece of fish be flipped to four positions before it was properly cooked.

We tested the unit by wetting the bottom of a cold pan and watching how it dried. The center bubbled and dried, but the outer bottom was only warm to the touch. I thought perhaps it was defective, but other reviewers have commented on the problem.

I notice that most of the units on the market do not specify the size of the heating element. Whether this exposes a problem with the technology or is just marketing avoiding a problem with inexpensive units I can't tell.

I am hopeful of the technology, but returned this unit because of it's limitations. If you only use smaller pans, or rarely, if ever, fry, I recommend it.

As has been mentioned before the first unit arrived broken.

The other reviews cover everything else nicely, except:

1. The difference between the model 6200 and the 6000 is that the 6200 has a stainless steel skin, while the 6000 is black plastic. The innards and wattage are identical.

2. If you purchase this with 1-click ordering, you'll miss out on free shipping. Grrrrr. To avoid spending an extra $9.00 on postage, use the checkout cart instead.

3. If you want an excellent overview of induction cookers, look up the topic in wiki-pedia.

4. (Updated 8-2011). Someone in the comments below asked what the wattages are: When the "Power" mode is selected, Level 1: 200w. 2-500. 3-800. 4-1000. 5-1200. 6-1300. 7-1400. 8-1500. 9-1600. 10-1800w. When the "Temperature" mode is selected, the ranges (1-10) are (in degrees F): 140, 180, 210, 250, 280, 320, 360, 390, 430, 450.

5. (Updated 11-2012). I had not used the "Temperature" mode at all. A friend came over for Thanksgiving with his bacon/watercress soup (thick) and needed to re-heat it. After messing around with the "Power" and "Time" settings, he finally chose "Temperature" at 140. There was much less stirring, and no fussy regulation of a flame (all to avoid burning the soup on the bottom of the pan). He was mightily impressed, and since he is an excellent cook, I was mightily impressed too. Reminder: his excellent soup pot was aluminum, and so it would not heat at all (Error "E2" in the display, after two seconds). We loaned him a nice cast iron Le Creuset pot and all progressed smoothly. Remember that any pot that attracts a magnet will work (thus aluminum and most stainless steel won't work). Furthermore: the traditional cooks swarming and crowding the kitchen stove on Thanksgiving were just as glad to have him and the induction unit out on the patio, and out of the way.

Honest reviews on Max Burton 6000 1800-Watt Portable Induction Cooktop, Black

What a find! This lightweight cooker is quite a workhorse. It boils water faster than my professional-grade Viking, and I can control the heat as quickly and precisely as I can on a gas range. From simmer to sear, it does it all. I teach cooking to kids, so I especially like that it's safer than other cooktops--no flame, and the surface stays relatively cool (there's some heat transfer from the pot, however, so you still need to be careful). Two drawbacks: you can only use induction-compatable cookware (anything that attracts a magnet will do), and you need a very reliable power supply, because this little guy requires a lot of juice.

You have to use the Max Burton Induction Cooktop to fully appreciate the induction cooking experience.

At your command are the power and instant response of an 11500 BTU gas burner without a natural gas line or a butane cylinder in sight. You're cooking with electricity, but unlike a hotplate, an induction cooktop doesn't emit a single degree of thermal energy. Switch it on without a pan in place and it just shuts itself off. Center a pot of water on the circles, crank the power up to the highest setting, and in minutes, the water's boiling like there's no tomorrow. Amazingly, you can rest your hand an eighth of an inch from the pan and the cooking surface is barely warm. At a half-inch, it's downright cool to the touch. In fact, about the only heat escaping into the room is from the steam itself. The cooking surface is producing NO heat of its own!

Don't believe me? Take the pot away, drop a paper napkin on the cooking surface and . . . nothing. No fireball, no billows of smoke, no glowing ashes flitting around the room. Yes, the surface is hot, but only because it absorbed some heat from the pot.

It's not magic. It's induction. Computer-controlled electromagnetic energy induces the bottom of the pot or pan to produce its own heat. It all seems so futuristic but in reality, it's been around since the previous century. As is true with all things electronic, the technology gets cheaper as it gets better. Today's countertop induction cookers are giving their built-in big brothers some real competition. Factor in portability and a small trade-off in power, and many folks are thinking twice about remodeling the kitchen. Just plug one or two of these into separate circuits, and your kitchen is ready for any season.

In the summer, use your induction cooker for stovetop cooking. And don't be afraid to crank up the A/C and turn the ceiling fan to High, even if you're simmering a delicate Hollandaise. There's no flame to blow out, so there's no danger of gassing up the kitchen.

In the winter, an induction cooktop becomes a handy keep-warm burner while the waste heat from conventional cooking warms up the kitchen. Of course, you already know you should NEVER use the stove or oven solely to heat the kitchen but when you're cooking in the dead of winter, that extra warmth won't go to waste.

Any time of year, induction is the method of choice for sustained low-heat cooking that would normally call for a double boiler.

And who says you have to keep it in the kitchen? I know folks who take their induction cookers out on the patio when the weather's nice or when they want to cook fish without smelling up the house for weeks. Max Burton even offers an induction-ready stovetop smoker. Truckers use high-wattage inverters to power their induction cooktops when they're on the road. Take it to work, find a vacant outlet in the break room, and wow your fellow cubicle-dwellers with one of your culinary specialties prepared on the spot, not reheated in the microwave oven. RV cookery no longer needs to feel like you're fixing dinner in a phone booth over a blast furnace. Remember: Electrical outlet + induction cooker = instant kitchen.

At 1600 watts, the Max Burton offers the most bang for the buck among 120-volt units. The next step up in power, 1800 watts (equivalent to 13000 BTU), is found mainly on commercial units that require beefier electrical circuits than are found in the average home. They also cost about five times the price! Maybe YOU have that kind of money to burn but I'd rather wait a little longer for my pasta water to come to a boil and pocket the difference.

The control panel is simple and uncluttered. If you're comfortable with the touchpad controls on a modern oven, you'll be right at home. The Function touchpad cycles through Power or Temperature cooking modes and a Timer mode. The Power mode provides 10 settings and the Temperature mode steps from 150 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Setting the timer is a little tricky because it counts up in 5-minute jumps but counts down 1 minute at a time, so to set 13 minutes, you push the up-arrow three times to get to 15 minutes, then the down-arrow twice to subtract two minutes.

Now, I can already hear your know-it-all friends warning "If you buy one of those, you'll have to replace EVERY POT AND PAN IN THE KITCHEN!" Not very likely. Line up all your pots and pans and pick out those with perfectly flat bottoms. Grab a magnet off the fridge and see if it clings to any of those bottoms. Chances are, it clings to quite a few, like Grandma's cast iron skillet and Aunt Sophie's enamelware Dutch oven. Hey, look, it clings to the bottom of that pressure cooker you picked up on your last trip to the Galleria! Well, whaddaya know! You DO have some induction-ready cookware!

If your kitchen has stainless steel counters or other metal work surfaces, they're off-limits because they can weaken the electromagnetic field. A small amount of energy radiates from the bottom of the cooktop and can make the surface below too hot to touch. Reserve a spot on a Formica, marble, granite or wooden countertop near an electrical outlet.

And, yes, it's true that every induction cooktop has a fan to keep the magnetic coils cool. The sound is more noticeable on a countertop unit than on a built-in but much quieter than a range hood exhaust fan or a microwave oven. If that's the sound of a cooler kitchen, it's music to my ear.

When I purchased this, it had five 5 star reviews and one 1 star review. Unfortunately, I had the exact same problem as the previous 1 star review. When I lit the heater, it was fine for about a minute, then started sputtering and shooting flames from the front, and eventually shut off. I repeated several times, double checked the installation and operation instructions, and it still didn't work.

After inspecting the unit, I realized that a rivet was missing, which was allowing air to leak in, apparently causing the sputtering and flame. I was able to bolt it down using my own hardware and the unit works fine now.

Had it worked from the start, it would be a great buy. As is, I can't give a good review to something that I had to fix (and only hope stays functional).

Great heater for the money. I got it for working in my detached garage, but I found it is effective even outside on a 35F day while I was replacing my car brakes. I just got an exchange 20LB propane tank in the local (NY) liquor store for $22 and running! The unit also will work with smaller tanks like 5 pounds, typically not as convenient or cost effective as the classic 20 LB.
