Replaced my burnt-out defrost heater. Product arrived in the original GE box. Installed easily, works as it is supposed to. This unit has the defrost switch and harness attached, so there is literally no fiddling around with splices or such, just unplug the old one and plug this in. Whole repair cost less than 1/3 what it did to have a repairman do it the last time.

There seems to be some confusion in general about which heater you get. My unit originally had a single tube defroster, which GE has deprecated in favor of a 2-tube unit that fits in its place. I actually thought I was getting the 2-tube, but instead got the original 1-tube. Easier for me, but the 2-tube might last longer. GE supposedly changed units so the energy density in the tubes would be lower, for longer life.

This item was 66 bucks locally. I replaced the same part in my beer fridge 3 years ago. This looks to be from a different manufacturer so it could last longer, the original one in the fridge lasted about 9 years. Hopefully this will last at least that long. Cant beat the price tho!

we had a repairman look at the fridge an he told us it would be $330.00 to fix it, that the defrost heater was out. We looked at the fridge an saw that we could put the part on ourselves so we checked around for it an amazon had the best prices. We order an recieved the part in about four days an was saved a wopping $295.00 Will recomend Amozon to all my friends was 100% satisfied. Thanx Amazon!

Got this on time and worked right out of the box. At first I was debating either this one or another purifier but the remote and 3 years warranty really stood out. Used it for a few days in the kitchen and bathroom it does wonders! What surprised me the most was we have a smoker in the house and this machine removed the cigarette smell just over night. My friend saw it and bought one for his house. I would definitely suggest giving this purifier a test drive.

My husband and I bought this unit 2 weeks ago thinking it would improve the air quality in our home and help cut down on some of the dust. After I received the unit, I went through the manual and set it up according to the directions. This unit has made absolutely no difference in the air quality in our home. Dust flows right through it despite the filters. We use it in our living room, (350 sq. ft.) and it does nothing. There's no way this thing cleans 3000 sq. ft. of air. The seller claims that there's a 30 day satisfaction guarantee but when we contacted the seller so we could return it, we were informed that if the unit wasn't sent back in the original packaging that there would be a 15% ($24.00) re-stocking fee, which is something they don't advertise here on Amazon. Don't buy it. It's a waste of money, the unit doesn't work as advertised, and the customer service is terrible. I would never buy from this seller again.

This is an excellent air-purifier after conducting my research. Comparable to similar designed box units but less expensive. Construction appears very good. I also like the look and styling of the unit.

Capabilities:

-Ozone generator. Five level setting. Very powerful. You can also turn ozone generation completely off.

-Negative ion generator 1 level setting. Can be turned on/off.

-Sterilization using UV light, 1 level, can be turned on/off.

-Fan speed has five levels. Lowest is very quiet, highest is no noisier than a typical room fan.

-LCD display with back light. The back-light is bright but it has a button to dim it.

-Small remote control works nicely.

So far very impressed with unit. Have only had it a few weeks so I cannot comment on its durability but the construction appears very well made. Even though it uses a washable HEPA filter, and the instructions with unit recommend replacement once a year, the HEPA filters are very reasonably priced which makes it a better option. So far I am very pleased about this product and I highly recommend it compared to the other alternatives I found in the market.

Regarding the seller, the purchase transaction was very smooth. The product was well packed and shipped promptly. I had some questions about HEPA filters and the seller promptly answered. Very professional and helpful. Excellent product at a very good price. I will buy again from this store.

Honest reviews on iLIVING ILG938 Air Purifier with HEPA Filter

This item worked just fine for a few months, once I figured out how to position the plate and filters. When I went to put it back in use during allergy season, it didn't power up. I checked inside and found the UV light was broken. But where the heck do you get a UV light for this thing? Also, the directions say to check the fuse, but I couldn't get the fuse cover off. There's no information in the instructions about who to contact or where to take it to get fixed. What a pain to get it serviced!

For anyone purchasing this unit, there are a few things you should know that will make your life easier. =)

STEP 1 -If you plan to use the ozone generating feature, then before you start up your unit, install the O3 plate (located in a separate box packaged inside the carton) by removing the four screws on the back of the unit. Remove each filter keeping them in the order you removed them. When you have removed all of the filters, there are two slots (center, top and bottom) where you will need to slide the O3 plate in. Make sure the arrows are pointing up and slide the plate towards the front of the unit. [DO NOT run the "Purifying" feature which is the ozone generating option if there are humans or pets in the house! I ran mine for about 30 minutes, and even had two windows open about 12" and my throat and sinuses became very dry and I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth and throat.]

Replace each filter in the same order you removed them. Be sure the last filter does not have the outside edge of it sticking out on the bottom or the unit will not work.

~~~~~~

The instructions in the user's manual are incorrect (per the Service Technician from the company where I purchased mine).

The instructions say that "you will know the Sterilize feature is activated from the soft blue glow visible through the front grill."

According to the Service Technician, "when you press the "STERILIZER" button, the sterilize feature of the purifier will get activated. You'll know that by looking at the LCD display panel."

~~~~~~

The instructions also say that you'll know the Anion feature "is activated as the orange bulb will be lit and clearly visible through the front grill."

On my unit, you have to put your face up to the unit to see the not-so-clearly-visible orange light. I have mine on top of a bookcase. If you place your unit up high, you WILL need to stand on a chair or step stool to see the orange glow.

Other than these few issues, I really like this Air Purifier. It's been running eight hours now in our 2-story great room and there is a noticeable difference in the quality of the air. The house smells fresh and not like dogs! YAY!! So far, so good!

Update: 12/6/12 still running 24/7. Our power fluctuated the other day and the purifier turned off. I noticed it a day later and turned it back on. The purifier started right up and is continuing to do its job. Definitely makes a difference keeping the air fresh and clean... even after you have a mishap in the kitchen that sets the smoke alarm off! =) Still loving it. =)

Update: 5/21/13 still running 24/7. Hubby sanded & refinished the hardwood floors in our foyer and the dust residue was ridiculous! The air purifier stopped running so I cleaned the back screen which was clogged up with dust. Not sure how to clean the filters (except for the ozone plate) because the instruction booklet is useless. The unit started right up and is running again. I sure did notice a huge difference while it wasn't running. So far! SOOOO GOOD!!! I am very pleased with this air purifier and so are my lungs. Definitely helps with the asthma. =]

I am very pleased with the performance of this water heater. I have burnt up coils before, in just a few days, so I was reluctant to spend the money. I'm glad that I did. This heater worked fabulously on a 3 week trip to Peru at 220 voltage, and a week in Jamaica at 110, and is still going strong. It can bring water to boiling surprisingly fast. It takes up very little space in the suitcase too. I'm taking this baby with me everywhere I travel.

My wife and I travel 3-5 times a year. We both enjoy either tea or flavored coffees. Hotels and cruise ships do fine for delivering ready made coffee, but hot water is not always hot. By the time it goes into their thermos or pot, then is poured into a cold ceramic cup/mug, it is not at all piping hot! So, we either run water through the coffee maker without coffee and get that wonderful acidy after taste, or use the luke warm water provided.

This little travel pot is great. It is faster than our previous Frantz unit, and works perfect. The first dozen or so uses had a plastic tasting flavor, but we seem to have worked past that. Weight is not bad, size is minimal, and the piece nest together nicely for packing in a suitcase. The voltage can adapt to whatever country you are in, and we've never not been able to use it. Hotels, cruise ships, even bed and breakfasts. This unit gives us the flexibility to have morning or afternoon coffee at our leisure, and to have it HOT!

I looooove this gadget! It heats water real quick and it's very lightweight. I am a flight attendant and I fly international and in most foreign countries other than UK and France it is hard to find a Water Heater in the room. It's dual voltage so its a plus for me. I put it in a little puch and throw it in my suitcase and there we go. It's very lightweight and the cord wraps around it nicely.Also it brought a little 110 plug,how sweet.It's been already to Africa and Paris,not that you can't get a great cup of cafe au lait in Paris.But it's very convenient while I'm getting ready having a nice cup of tea or coffee. Haven't tried for soups yet,but I guess it'll do the trick as well.I totally recomend it.

I'm a frequent business traveler. I've had multiple immersion coils fail after a few uses so as far as I'm concerned they're worthless. Plus they don't work well anyway. This heater does a great job and is relatively small so I can take it with me when I do just carry-on luggage. I've had it for a month and so far it's lasted longer than any coil. If it fails I'll come back and let you know. Highly recommended

We purchased this to use in our screen porch as we didn't know if a propane based firepit would be safe. The Gel based fire bowl works great and as promised. The delivery only took a couple of days and the setup took about 5 min. We tested our new firebowl tonight and it was very simple to operate. We poured the gel into the two compartments and lit each side using a bic scripto lighter and the gel lit up instantly and created a very nice flame and crackle. We used one 29 oz bottle total split between the two sides and got approx 2 hours of burn. The firebowl looks great and works very well. The flames are not huge or create much for heat, but definitely create a nice "ambiance" fire for sitting around with friends or family. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing, no hassle fire in an area that doesn't allow for a wood or propane based fire.

I love this fire bowl. It is great because it comes with a cover and a snuffer to extinguish the flame. It looks like a quality product and looks great outside on my patio. I am planning to order another one.

Best Deals on Real Flame Hampton Fire Bowl

First off, those rocks sit on a tray on the top. The majority of the bowl is empty. So I ask, why is this $200? Maybe all materials cost $80 tops.

Biggest issue though is the fuel. It's a gel and it's sold in a can. Pouring it in ends up with gobs of the gel on the rocks and not the little wells it needs to go into. Then one can lasts maybe 20 mins. So save money and use %70 alcohol instead.

Honest reviews on Real Flame Hampton Fire Bowl

We've been wanting a fire pit for some time now but were hesitant due to the possibility of sparks from a wood fire. This fire bowl is a great substitute. It sets up very easily (just three screws) and looks really nice. The fire it produces crackles just like a wood fire and produces a little heat (although that was not our reason for purchasing it). It makes for a nice gathering spot. It is also very nice that it comes with a cover which fits perfectly. Only negatives: there were no instructions in the box; screws were too short and had to be replaced with our own; even though it's Amazon Prime eligible, it took a week to arrive (the fine print says it may take 1-2 extra days, but it was more like 5). The "grey" color is really more of a tan, but it looks like stone and that wasn't a deal breaker.

Bought locally (though I normally love Amazon). I have a 20x20 garage, 400 sq feet. This portable A/C is cooling the garage nicely. Initially, just testing it, I vented it through a hole I made in the concrete block wall. It didn't seem to be cooling very well. Some of the heat from the vent hose was not making it out the new hole, but escaping into my garage. I didin't want to put much effort into the hole until I felt like this A/C would be worth my time. I fretted, and considered it. Then I decided to go ahead and make a proper whole, sealed, with the dryer-vent-flap on the outside of the garage now no hot air is escaping from the vent into the garage all the hot air is going outside professional looking job I think. Whalla. I like this A/C. You have to wrap insulation around the vent hose since it gets hot and will just radiate that heat into your room. We have an insullated ceiling and an insulated garage door. Hot southern USA. We use our garage sometimes for crafting and similar activities... this A/C will do nicely. Yes, I've only had it for 24 hours, but... happy

I purchased this unit through Amazon several months ago, and am glad I did. No more suffering through the intense summer heat in a one bedroom, non air conditioned apartment.

The unit itself is relatively easy to set up. As my unit was shipped via Fed-ex, I had to initially let it sit upright, non-operating, for a day in order for the refrigerant fluid to settle and prevent damage. Other than that, you simply plug in the unit, connect the collapsible vent hose from the unit to the window (via window adapter), and turn it on. It takes less than 5 minutes to cool my living room to my preferred comfort temperature (about 75 degrees inside while high 80's/90's outside).

In over 2 months of use, I opened the drain plug only once, and there were only a few small drips of liquid that came out. The evaporate cooling technology worked great for me, and those who have had issues with leaks in the Pinguino models must have had defective units.

Regardless of what unit you buy, don't settle for anything less than 12,000 BTU's for a portable AC. 14,000 BTU's would be better for larger rooms and houses.

I do have a few issues with this unit. One, as Pflorky mentions, is that the vent only blows air upwards at an angle. It would have been nice to be able to change the direction of air flow. The second is that the unit can be a bit noisy, necessitating raising the volume of the television by several points. I don't think it's so loud that it will make you deaf, but it can be noticeable. This is a minor quibble, as I would rather be cool and comfortable than suffering and miserable from the heat.

Last, depending on the style and size of your window you choose to vent from, you may need to 'jury rig' something to properly vent the unit. I have a sliding style window in the living room (side to side), and the opening is nearly 5 feet from top to bottom. The window adapter that came with the unit was too short to completely fill in the gap, so I used some boarding and tape to seal off any openings.

Overall I am very happy that I purchased this unit.

Best Deals on DeLonghi PACN120E Pinguino N Series 12,000 BTU Air-to-Air Portable

My experience with this unit it that it is a bit noisy but cools and dehumidifies VERY well. It was a good purchase and helps supplement my inadequate central AC during the crazy Chicago heat waves. HOWEVER.... I have had to get creative and sit it in a pan intended to go under a water heater or shwer... as it leaks much of the water/ vapor that is formed when it works hard. Typically the 4x4 foot pan ends up with about 3/8 of an inch of water in it. If I could get help knowing what size fitting is required to attach a hose I'd just put it in the window... but this was an emergency measure as my hardwood floor was under attack...

Overall I'd give this an Aas it cools better than my more expensive SHARP... but the SHARP has features this one doesn't have and is not "having accidents".

It would be better, however, if the airflow could be adjusted up and down. Otherwise the air flows in one direction, and change can only be effected by moving the machine.

We have an old coal fireplace which is only 8" deep. We could not find any type of gas flame logs that would fit at all. This product installed easily and fit almost perfectly into the space. We still get the look of a fire and additional heat. The heater aspect of it has a high & low setting and is very quiet. Another advantage point is we don't have to worry about small children getting to close to a flame and getting burnt. I am very pleased with this product.

Last summer I had our wood burning medal fireplace chimney removed and the fireplace capped. This left our fireplace useless. I looked at gas inserts and gas logs but didnt like the way they looked or they wouldn't fit. Then I saw this Dimplex electric in a furniture store. I was amazed how real it looked. I ordered it.It only took 3 days to come. Took it out of the box and put it in the fireplace opening and had it going in 20 minutes. It looks far better than any gas unit.

I love the look and feel of fireplaces, but they are very rare in South Florida, where I live. An artificial fireplace was the answer for me. I bought this insert to replace a unit that burned gel cans in a freestanding fireplace. This electric unit is beautiful! I like it so much more than the gel can type. This unit has a very realistic look. The logs are "real" (3-dimensional), not painted onto a screen like some others I've seen. The embers seem like they are really glowing and the "flames" dance realistically. And it is nice to be able to use it without heat if you wish. I highly recommend this fireplace insert.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DFI2309 Electric Fireplace Insert Heater, Black

I bought two of these inserts to fill fireplaces that have been capped off in an old house. The cords are very short & per the safety instructions you can't use extension cords to reach an outlet. The units look nice and provide ambience when it is dark. During the day they look exactly like what they are, fake. They do not put out any significant amount of heat. I tried to use it in my 6x4 hallway last week to take the chill off in the morning. It took three hours to raise that small room 10 degrees.

Bottom line-if you are buying them just for decoration, great, you'll like them. If you want them to function as heaters, these are not for you.

ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack, Black, 4-Feet
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Purchased two 12 ft. Shelterlogic firewood racks. Product arrived within two days (not from Amazon.) The firewood racks of respectable quality. The hardware to assemble the units was complete; both units arrived with one spare bolt, nut and two extra washers. The assembly is simple and can be completed within 10 minutes. While the quality of the Shelterlogic rack doesn't come close to the unparalleled strength, precision, and stability of the Woodhaven firewood racks (which I own as well), the price / quality ratio of the 12 ft. Shelterlogic firewood rack is certainly excellent in comparison. One feature I deplore on the Shelterlogic rack is the 15 1/2 inch width (compared to the 14 inch width of the Woodhaven racks). While the wider rack may, theoretically, improve stability, I favor the 14 inch width. The slightly narrower rack allows for smaller / irregular logs. In any case, adequate and weather & ground-appropriate footing / base for the racks is indispensable to avoid sinking or leaning of the rack leading to the rack falling over when fully loaded. The rack comes with a partial cover, ideal for the correct aeration of the firewood.

This rack is a nice concept, but it's implemented so cheaply that I'll be surprised if it's still upright this spring:

The front-to-back stretchers sit in between the base sections (or the base and end sections). They only connect to one of the through bolts though. You get two washers to fill in the space on the other bolt! Oh, and by the way they DON'T give you washers for ends of these bolts.

Once I started tightening up all the bolts, the tube steel started to crush and go out of round. I'm not using some huge wrench here either. Standard 3/8" drive ratchet. I should have returned it at this point...

I got the rack about half loaded, and the legs started to buckle. Since the front/back stretchers only connect to one bolt, they don't prevent the legs from twisting out of shape. I finished without it collapsing, but now I mostly have to hope that when it goes, it falls away from the garage.

The cover only really works if your logs aren't much longer than the rack is deep. Standard 16-18" fireplace wood is OK (this is what I have). If you are running a wood burning stove that takes 20"+ pieces forget the cover completely.

This rack would be OK if I'd gone down to the "big box store" and picked up some ¼" plate steel to replace the stretchers. I'd have made new ones wide enough to cover both bolts; then used the supplied washers on the ends of the bolt. The manufacturer should supply it this way.

Best Deals on ShelterLogic Backyard Storage Series Covered Firewood Rack

I purchased two racks, liked them enough to purchase two more.

Pros:

Simple to assemble

nice looking

do what they are supposed too (keep wood off the ground and dry).

Nice cover keeps the rain off the top, allows air to circulate to encourage drying.

Cons:

Feet need to be on block or brick. Weight of wood will drive rack into ground.

Not very stable. Again, needs to be on bricks or deck/concrete. If not, one leg can twist and whole rack goes cockeyed.

The two halves are joined by metal plates that go just though one of two holes (the top hole of each section.) When tightening, the space these plates add cause the lower half to draw in more than the upper, causing the end pieces to angle outwards a little. They should have provided two plates or one larger plate.

You can't tighten the bolts very much. There is a point where tubing begins to deform and that is all you can do. It doesn't seem to take much strength, but the racks do seem to hold up fine. Again, best if the feet are supported so they don't sink.

I see the cons take up more space than the pros but, in fact, it is fine as long as you support the feet.

this is ok. we use it on the deck, and transfer wood too it periodically. 1) it doesn't hold a lot of wood: if you want to use the cover, which u obviously do, the cover doesn't fit if you fill anywhere near the top, and this measures 4 feet on the outside of the tubing, so you're giving up stacking space on all sides, and 2) I had to put down a 4' by 18" piece of plywood because many logs aren't this long and fall through; you can always line the bottom and the sides with the longer logs.

I think the fireplace looks much better in person than the in the picture. It arrived well packaged and with no cosmetic blemishes. It was assembled, minus the feet. The hardest part was getting it out of the box, but it was well protected. They included a touch-up marker. The fire looks quite good and provides a pleasant ambiance, but of course it's not going to match a real fireplace. I didn't find it to be overly noisy. It heats up immediately and outputs a significant amount of heat, but I haven't run it long enough to know if it will actually warm up a room. Overall, very pleased with the product and seller.

Nice Item, East setup. It was a little beat up but they did supply the touch up kit. I expected perfect for the price.

I just got my fireplace today and I am very happy. It was securely packaged to prevent damage on delivery. All I had to do was unpack, secure the legs and turn it on. They even included batteries for the remote control. This was a pleasant purchasing experience. :)

Compact, quiet, clean heat. The oscillating feature is very nice. I would have rated it 5 stars but for one thing: it has a temp setting and supposedly a thermostat so the unit can be set from 65 to 85 degrees in 5 degree increments. It flat doesn't work. I can set it for 65 degrees and it will just keep putting out heat until the room is 80 degrees. Called Bionaire and they told me it's defective. They offered to replace it for free which is nice, but "not until September. Heater season is over. Call us back in September."

Received this today, in 2 cartons. Put it together in about 1 hour. The top of the fireplace is heavy, and I thought I would not be able to do it by myself (I'm a 64-year old woman), but I decided to turn it upside down and put it together. Worked perfectly. Then simply turned it right side up and it's beautiful. Will use as corner display and put my TV on it tomorrow. I think it is well worth the price and is a beautiful piece.

I use this constantly. I love it can be programmed and has different flame options. Has cut down on my heating bill this past month. So glad I got it. Use TV on top to watch movies.

BEFORE PURCHASING CORINTH ELECTRIC FIREPLACE MEDIA CONSOLE-I contacted the seller by email twice b/f placing order to get all my concerns taken care of about product features, function and shipping. Seller was very prompt in replying back and made me feel at ease in order from them (first time). Over the years, I have noticed that when shipping is offered free sometime the item is not well taken care of in transit. Not in this case, the box did show some minor abuse, but items were well packed and no harm was find to products at all. Instructions was simple, if you sit down and study it first, and all necessary hardware was included. Unless you are a super strong patient person, it will require two people to put the top on. After that you insert the electric heater in, screw it in place and you're done. My husband and I love vintage cherry fireplace. Our purpose was not the heater per se, but the fireplace itself as a beautiful piece of ornate designed furniture in our bedroom. So cozy & romantic to watch the quiet colorful flames at nite w/o heat.

I would highly recommend!!!
