I have provided two personal photos to show size. I am satisfied with this heater but beware that most states, including mine (MA), prohibits vent-less heaters as primary sources of heat and should only be used as supplemental.

With that said, please be aware that although this product is 99.9% efficient, the unit does give off a smell. The gas by-products that are burning off into the air make the .1% and it is important to keep one window cracked 1 inch.

I have a 1000 square foot apartment, and this year (December 2012) temperatures have dropped below 32 degrees a couple of times and this heater has more than done its job. It is extremely warm and very nice to look at with the blue flame and compact size.

This model does NOT have a digital reading of the temperature despite the product image description. I did purchase an indoor digital thermometer along with a carbon monoxide detector for safety, it has not detected any levels of carbon monoxide. It does come with a kit to either mount it to the wall or have it free standing.

I spent over 5 months researching gas heaters before buying this one, and am overall very satisfied with the physical and mechanical performance.

I did have to call customer serviced a couple of times with questions and they were not only helpful but there weren't any wait times.

Great heater! We had a Williams brand wall heater that failed on us. If we were to fix it , it would have cost us around $150 just to buy the pilot for the old heater SO we decided to try this product. Note that the one we bought does not require vent, blue flame, natural gas. The blower fan blows the heat from the unit towards the room it helps make the room heat quicker and it helps keeps the unit and the things close to it reasonably cool. Also we got the blue flame coz we read somewhere that the yellow flame gives out radiant heat (not sure). The 20k btu heats up a 20-30 degrees 700 sqm (approx) fairly quick. I would buy this product as a gift or recommend it to others.

I mounted this on the wall of my basement shop and I set it and forget it. I have an old thermostat that I use to monitor the temperature and it stays a constant 72F. The flame modulation feature works very well. The 2012 winter is very mild, but I am still glad I got it. This is a quality unit.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 20,000 BTU Natural Gas Blue Flame Vent Free Heater

I am pretty happy with the heater, but I have run several tests on the blower fan ... and I can't even tell a 1 inch difference in whether the fan is on or off.

I hear the fan running, (and I can see the blades moving) but it does not blow into the room (not even one inch more than if the fan is not on) I am beginning to think the fan blades have no significant pitch to them ie they just spin but do not move any air forward.

What do you suggest?

Installation was simple. This unit may be small but very powerful AND efficient. It heats not only my basement, but the heat rises and also heats my large kitchen. Love it!

We use in our central Florida enclosed lanai area to take chill off a winter morning. Looks like a more expensive unit except for one small log. A challenge to assemble. A couple pieces required drilling and instructions on which screws to use were not real clear. Tough to line up last few screws. Best buy amongst all reviewed though.

I did a lot of shopping before selecting this heater. Almost bought another brand that had a special proce offer until I noticed the offer was good only on two heaters. This heater is a much better value. Very impressed with design and functions. My old heater needed a piece of wood under it when it sat on my carpet. This one has nice raised legs! It's easy to carry and operate. Fired it up for this review and works perfect. I may oder another for another bedroom.

It fits Kitchenaid 6QT model, and you don't have to change any parts. You need two bowls if you are making cakes. I bought the used one from Amazon and it was less than 30 dollars. Best deal.

For anyone wants to buy...this bowl is wide mouth bowl which is for Costco 5.5qt KV25 model. It also fits 6qt model, which is KP26 model. It is not as deep as 6qt bowl. So, it makes easy to whip or do anything small amount. I actually replaced my 6qt bowl by this one. 6qt bowl was too big and heavy to me.

Not much to say, it is a bowl, when you need one nothing else will do. When ordering however be sure to identify whether you need a wide bowl or a narrow bowl. Size is one thing, like 5 qt but then you have to know wide or narrow as well. If you get the wrong size it will not fit on your mixer.

I have a 5.5 model KitchenAid mixer from Costco and when I went to buy a second bowl (because I find 2 are necessary if you are making frosting, a double batch of something, a layered cake, etc), I found that they don't make replacements for the 5.5 model! I e-mailed KitchenAid and they told me the 5 qt option (KN25WPBH) and a 6 qt option (KN2B6PEH) would both fit. I ended up going with the 5 qt one (I think it was on sale) and it works perfectly! It fits without me needing to make any adjustments and somehow mixes perfectly for both the 5 qt and 5.5 qt sizes! Highly recommended!

Honest reviews on KitchenAid 5qt Polished Stainless Steel Mixer Bowl with Flat Handle

This bowl fits my KitchenAid 5qt Pro model great. I had to do a bit of hunting, as it seems not all 5qt bowls with the pro model, but this one works just as well as the one that came with it.

Ordered a different 5qt bowl previous to this one since Amazon isn't too good at labeling them... but this one is definitely the wide one for those of us with those mixers.

Can't say anything negative about the product wanted a second bowl and that's what showed up. :)

Steel woodstoves like this one are designed to cast off heat quickly/don't reatin it well. Good for the weekend/ambience burner but for aprimary heat source I'd consider Cast Iron which stays hot longer. Also this stove burns differently, higher temps for more efficient burn.

Pros: This woodstove puts off some real heat once you get it going. This is the key phrase-see cons. Elegant apperance/pewter accents/chrome trim. Big glass viewing window. You dont need much clearance dut to rear heat shield. Ash drawer is better than I expected/very useful.The secondary burn is efficient and cranks up the thermometer.The price is about 1/2 of what local woodstove store charging for steel stoves.

ConsSpiral handle falls off. Woodstove can be hard to get going, testing your patience at times (plan on 1 hour for a good solid burn where you feel confident leaving the room!) I have a mason chimney. This heats our basement well but the upstairs rarely gets beyond the low 60's. The glass does get dirty with every burn despite the "self cleaning" but a little soft scrub works well. It is made in China despite the comapny being a U.S. company (what do the chinese know about woodstoves?) but again a fair price for the product.

I had to get a dolly to get this inside/2 person job. Three perosn job assemblimg (attaching firebox to pedestal...aprox 300 lbs.

This stove is fantastic! I replaced a Country Comfort built in 1986 for this EPA Wood stove and it is night and day difference. Fires are super easy to light, and get going very quickly. There is no visable smoke out of my chimney anymore, nor can you smell it outside. Comments about the woodstove being hard to light is NOT the woodstove.....It's the chimney. A chimney should go straight up with no bends in it, and also should be located on the inside of the house NOT on the outside of the house which most chimneys in North America usually are on the outside. Visit Woodheat.org for more info. Everything you want and need to know about wood burning is available on this reliable website. Search "evil outside chimney"

Purchased at Menard's, this was a 2100 sq ft heating source with up to 12 hour burning... well I have yet to see either of those things happen. This has not burned fully loaded with prime aged wood for more than a couple hours.

This is installed 20 feet from the thermostat and that still kicks in as it always has and it heats about 1/2 of the expected area. The door has to be left open a majority of the time to provide adequate ventilation flow or it just will just choke itself out.

Having wood stoves my entire life, this one is extremely disappointing and a waste of the time installing & the money to be perfectly honest. It is very handsome in the room, but that does not help lower heating costs.

I would suggest you look at another product.

This space heater is by far the best I have owned. My office is in the basement in a 17' x 11' room. There is no heat in the room, and it gets very cold. Over the past 20 years, I have owned an assortment of space heaters, but none have come close to this one. To test the space heaters, I time how long it takes to heat the room using an atomic clock that also includes the room temperature. It was 48 degrees in the office this morning. It is now 65 degrees after an hour and ten minutes. This fan-forced heater increased the temperature dramatically. To test it further, we brought the heater to our master bedroom, which is 24' x 24'. The temperature was 58 degrees when we started it here at 8:00 last night. By 10:00 it was 65 degrees in the room. We couldn't believe it. We also own Lasko oscillating fans that absolutely blow away the competition. They have a wider blade span and produce what feels like twice the breeze. We are going to purchase a couple more of these space heaters. My opinion you're not going to find a better space heater than this one.

I bought this about four months ago to keep me warm while I work in my home office. It worked great for the first two months. Then, about once in every 6 or 8 hours, it would suddenly turn off. Following the instructions that are printed on the back, I would reset it by unplugging it, waiting 10 minutes, and then turning it back on. Then it would run for another 6 or 8 hours.

However, about a month ago the time between resets became shorter and shorter, until finally it reached the point where it would only run for 10 minutes before needing another 10-minute reset. That's such a hassle that I've pretty much quit using it.

It's not completely dead. When it's plugged in, the red power light is glowing. And, as noted, it will run -and heat -for about 10 minutes before shutting off.

I see where a couple of reviewers had units that went completely dead. But I'm wondering if anyone else has had the problem I'm having, and if there is any solution (short of returning it).

I found the Lasko 6251 while looking for a small space heater. The idea was to heat the area around by more immediate work area while turning down the thermostat for the rest of the shop. I didn't want an oscillating heater, just a small and more focused unit. The Lasco is small and stays out of the way. It has a clean appearance and it is quiet. There is control of temperature and fan speed and a timer can be set for folks like me who leave and forget to turn the heater off.

The unit puts out a lot of heated air volume, even when the unit is set to low speed fan. Air flow direction is set with a small lever that controls louvers positioned in front of the heated air outlet. I have my heater in my Maine workshop set to the lowest setting and lowest fan speed and that is enough for me to work in short sleeves. Finally, great price.

Honest reviews on Lasko 6251 Electronic Fan-Forced Heater with Warm Air Motion

This is truly a cool-touch heater. The outside of the unit never gets hot, and since I bought it for my 18mo daughter's bedroom, that is very important. Also, the tip-over sensor works great. Would be 5 stars, but it draws a lot of power, enough that it sometimes trips the breaker. However, I live in a very old house with very old breakers (the kind that are just a panel of switches on the wall) and I'm pretty sure the breakers are a bit weak. Would probably not have the same problem in a newer house.

This product meets most of the space heater needs I have been looking for: I'm using it primarily in my motorhome to reduce LP gas furnace use, and the heat outlet is at the top so I don't have to worry about my cat getting burned by a heat spot--he is shorter than the exhaust grill. The fan is pretty quiet and temp setponts are a nice advantage, but those thermostat setpoints only work on high heat "for my convenience." After my room/moho is warm I prefer to use the lower wattage setting--it is safer--but then I can't use the thermo-temperature setpoint. What were they thinking? My guess is: NOT thinking. If this is not an issue then I highly recommend this unit, especially for the price.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I'm very pleased with this small space heater, mostly because the thermostat works quite well. On the last "inexpensive" heater I had, the thermostat was practically useless, and I finally decided to get a new one as I couldn't keep an even temperature. This unit is solid, attractive, warms quickly, and maintains an even temperature. My only criticism is the bright red light on the front when you plug it in. This makes no sense to me -the light should go on when you turn it on, not be on the whole time it's plugged in. So first, there's no way to know if it's on or not if it's not blowing air, and second, the light is much too bright at night. I had to put a piece of paper over it to dim it.

I looked at a lot of wall hung electric fireplace/heaters, and chose this one due in large part to a thorough review that told me the unit vents the heat from the bottom of the unit, unlike most others. This was just what I wanted but hadn't found yet.

The unit came well packaged, but without mounds of extra unnecessary cardboard or bubble wrap.

It was really easy for me to install by myself (an average size 5'3" woman) with clear directions.

I live in an older home that does not have any insulation in the walls, and when I turn the unit on in the bedroom, it turns a frigid room into a comfortable one within about 5-10 minutes.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a space heater that is attractive and doesn't take up floor space and doesn't project far from the wall when hung properly.

Originally the photo associated with this was of another estate design fireplace, (don't worry the correct image is up now) so when I received it that was the only thing that was disappointing; however, my husband convinced me the black design would work best in our living room and he was right. I get many compliments on this fireplace and the kids love it because I can change the backlight colors. A very cool feature is the heater....the heat works great and comes out from the bottom on the far left and far right, you have the option to use only one side, both or none. The remote is easy to use and gives you several flame options as well as backlight options. I am happy with this purchase and the only thing I need to figure out is how to hide the cord to make it perfect.

It is absolute the best heater I have ever used!!! I tried over 8-9 heaters ranges from $70 to $250 (all with 4+ ratings, as I read all reviews before buying) and I rarely would give anything 5 star. Here is why: 1)It is very quiet, 2) warm, 3) it has a temperature control which was a bonus as it was not on the description when I purchased it 4) the temperature is very accurate unlike many others out there, it shuts off right when it reaches the temp, 5) very attractive looking, 6) can be stand alone or wall mounted. We used it in our bedroom, which I think is a waste as it is so pretty that it should be placed in the living room to show it off! Excellent buy!

Honest reviews on Estate Design Electric Flat Panel Fireplace Heater

I was very disappointed in the look of this heater. It looks nothing like the picture. It is a small plastic looking screen surrounded by black metal. If you have a nice house, you will not want this hanging on your wall. I could not get past how it looked so I cannot say if it's a good heater or not as far as warmth goes but it certainly was a let down. I was so looking forward to having it.
