We thought we knew what rice was supposed to be like when we used our Costco Aroma Rice Cookers--we would just, as a matter of course, replace the old ones with the same brand... Until this time.

After reading up on consumer reviews and Japanese sites, we opted to try the Zojirushi Induction Heating Rice Cooker. The stainless steel is STUNNING--the pictures do NOT do it justice--it is gorgeous on my countertop--a piece of furniture, like the KitchenAid Mixer. It is easy to set up (clock time, etc) and easy to use. (The directions are very clear.) I tried some Jasmine Rice in it for our first try--and WOW! I was totally amazed! Each piece of rice is perfect in every way. I have never had such results before. Perfect temperature, perfect texture, perfect stickiness, perfect taste. The aroma in the kitchen fills the house and it's wonderful.

There is very little steam (unlike most rice cookers) and it is very easy to clean up. It keeps the rice at that perfect temperature for hours--even longer with the extended warm feature.

I know it's expensive--but in this case, I truly believe you get what you pay for. If you want to know what rice is supposed to be like--you must get one of these! Zojirushi makes a couple of different types of rice cookers--and I have heard that they are all terrific. This one cooks with induction heating, which uses magnets... the unit doesn't get hot...

If you can--get this one!

I purchased this rice cooker about a month or so ago. I cannot say enough good things about this rice cooker. It is absolutely fantastic! Everything I've made (rice and non-rice) has come out wonderfully!

I have a cook/warm rice cooker that I'm going to sell at a yard sale. I will never be able to go back to using that type of machine again. The difference between the Zojirushi and the cook/warm is more than night and day. The difference between the quality in the rice bowls alone is unbelievable. The Zojirushi has a bowl that is very thick and heavy, not unlike my stove top cookware. My old cook/warm rice bowl feels like one of my cheap mixing bowls.

Prior to purchasing the Zojirushi, we never really cared for brown rice. It was too crunchy/chewy. Now my family and I love brown rice. The GABA Brown Rice setting is amazing. I have never made, nor eaten, brown rice that was so light and fluffy before in my life. Because of that, we mostly eat brown rice now which is much healthier for us anyway.

You will not be disappointed with this machine. It's looks beautiful sitting on the counter top. Clean up is a breeze the stainless has some sort of coating and does not show fingerprints or smears!

UPDATE 08/12/2012: Well, after years of using this fabulous rice cooker numerous times a week, I needed to replace it. I ordered another one because my husband and I love the way this makes brown rice, other grains, and steel cut oats. The rubber seal on our original model was worn out. If we weren't around to take the food out right away, it was drying out and wasn't hot enough. I looked at the new pressure cooker model, read the various reviews, and decided to re-order this model. However, I am going to look to see if I can do something to prolong the life of the seal on my new one.

Update: We have owned this rice cooker for about 2 years now and it continues to cook good rice every time. Some Tips:

1. Add 10% more water than is indicated, this will make fluffier rice

2. In order to make Persian-style rice, throw in one tablespoon butter and salt to taste with the water: when used with Basmati rice, this would produce fragrant rice with every grain standing apart.

3. For long-grain rice, use the "Soft" option.

4. Please use it to cook brown rice on GABA setting. Exquisite.

-----------------------------------------

We have had this rice cooker for a week now and have already tried all its settings. It's unbelievable how this cooker makes fluffy, moist rice where each grain stands out without getting sticky. This happens whether you put in Basmati rice, Sushi rice or brown rice. It's astounding how the rice remain fresh, warm and hardly dry out. That was a big change for us, having used no-good Oster rice cookers until we went to a Japanese supermarket and saw how cool and functional this unit looked. We are now eating more (healthier) brown rice and not throwing away any rice the following day. The Japanese sure know how to cook rice.

The menu is simple but offers plenty of choice. The inside bowl is heavy and made of Stainless Steel and has deep and clear marking to help you add the right amount of water without having to use cups. The melodies are a bit of a nuisance, but you wouldn't hear them over your dishwasher, so that's quite all right. The cooker does take twice as long as other, cheap rice cookers, but the ensuing taste is worth the wait.

Without a doubt, the machine is beautiful. If you really want to eat great rice every time and can afford the price, this is your best choice.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi NP-HBC18 10-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer

Yes, this rice cooker is crazy expensive, but worth it. I agree with all the other reviewers that the rice comes out perfect every time, even if you leave it warming for hours. We only eat brown rice, and were disappointed with previous rice cookers that left the rice crunchy, with that disgusting hard crust at the bottom of the pan. With this cooker, every grain is perfect. We also use the "porridge" setting to cook steel cut oats and hot cereal. We do reduce the amount of water the cooker recommends for porridge, to create a thicker end product. This is just a personal preference, however. This cooker is goof proof. The timer is simple to set, and I find the little melody that plays when the cooktime begins and ends to be adorable. Since buying this product, we've been using it several times a week and eating healthier as a result. It's expensive, but take a deep breath and make this investment. You won't be disappointed.

Difference between expensive models and lesser expensive ones is that the expensive ones heat up in minutes and go to a higher temperature, thereby enabling them to act truly as a towel warmer. Ones like this take up to 30 minutes to heat up to capacity and even then, its highest temperature is not warm enough to act as a true warmer, but rather, a towel dryer. I mainly use this as a towel dryer so that towels don't get to the point of smelling. Since it doesn't get too hot, I do feel safe leaving it on pretty much all the time though and am satisfied with it, being that I only paid $67 for it. Biggest downer to me is that it is plastic looking so doesn't present well for a higher end bathroom.

After traveling in Europe I knew I had t have a towel warmer in my house. Knew I would find them on Amazon. This is a nice brushed stainless steel finish that goes well in my bathroom. I have mine mounted on the wall and it was easy to do. It came with mounting brackets and was a simple installation no wires. It also includes feet I am holding onto these incase I want to move it. The bars do not get Hot they just reach a level that keeps towels warm. You can leave it on 24/7 but there is a on off switch as well. I turn it off when I leave town.

Love my warm and toasty towels in the morning.

Whether due to climate or my bathroom's layout, my bath towel stays damp all day, so I purchased this to dry it faster -it does that well.

It has a lighted power switch (the switch's light is on when the power is turned on). The Owners Manual says: [Plug it in, turn the power switch on] "After a short time, the towel warmer will reach its operating temperature of 122 degrees F. Temperature will vary according to the temperature of the surroundings."

I observe that it takes about 5 minutes to get hot to the touch (probably the 122 degrees), and about 30 minutes will almost completely dry my bath towel. It works well. My "Kill-A-Watt EZ" ($26 on Amazon and worth every penny) says it uses 117 watts of power (not bad at all).

I purchased Belkin Conserve Socket F7C009q Energy-Saving Outlet for $10 on Amazon. It's a countdown timer that will turn off power to whatever you plug into it, in 30 minutes or 3 hours or 6 hours. It works great. Recommended that you purchase this too, so you can start the towel dryer then walk away and forget about it.

Both items do what I want them to do. I'm happy.

Honest reviews on Home Fashion 6-Bar Freestanding Towel Warmer, Drying Rack

I tried this two different ways, plugged in all the time and plugged in before taking my bath, and it didn't make any difference: the only part of the towel that warmed was the portion directly touching the bars. If if you snake your towel through the bars, you still won't get a 'warm towel out of the shower' feeling. Another problem is that the bars are not wide, so they don't accommodate much more than a hand towel or small bath towel; this device is useless with bath sheets.

I ended up buying the Towel Spa, also available on Amazon, and using it with a bath sheet and hand towel. The device warms up quickly enough in 10-15 minutes that its smaller size isn't a problem for two people using it. I've got it sitting on top of the toilet tank, and it fits nicely / is stable.

Like others, I enjoy the towel warmers often found in Europe. This product is a good substitute. We mounted it on the wall. Very pleased with the warmth. I can imagine it would be a little unstable if left as a free-standing object and would warm the towels less efficiently if not against a wall of some sort. The bars are wider on this model than others which provides more surface area against the towel. I would recommend it without hesitation.

240V GARAGE HEATER (Fahrenheat/Marley FUH54) Review

Customer Ratings:

This unit is exactly what I needed for keeping a garage above freezing, and for warming it up occasionally for work. It is adequate for a well-insulated double garage. The heater, while very basic in design, is of good quality. (Made in the USA!) I emailed a question about adding a remote thermostat to the manufacturer and received a prompt and helpful reply. It pays to shop around online, because the same unit sells for a range of prices under slightly different model numbers--check the specs. The local big-box home improvement stores have nothing comparable.

I've had this heater for over 2 years now and have had no problems with it whatsoever. This is very well built product. All the connections are very solid and secure, using heavy duty materials. The heat settings are adjustable via easy to access jumpers. I have it on the factory standard setting and it heats my 20' x 20' garage in less than 10 minutes. Highly endorsed by me.

Have been using this heater for a month or so. It meets all our needs. No odor or excessive heat. Very quiet, and looks good. We are using this in an insulated sun room... about 300 sq ft., the room is still very pleasant even when the temps were below zero last week.

Honest reviews on 240V GARAGE HEATER (Fahrenheat/Marley FUH54)

Electric Garage Heater

Step 1: I wanted to work comfortably in an attached 22 x 22 (9 foot high drywalled ceiling) garage in the winter. Figuring I'd need lots of heat, I bought a portable 40,000 btu propane heater. It exhausts lots of carbon monoxide, so you have to partially open a door or window to the outside to let [cold] fresh air in -which seriously lowers heater efficiency. The heater warmed the garage, but the approach wasn't satisfactory -i.e., the fumes were so bad, I stopped using it. It was also very loud, like the hissing of escaping air from a large air boat; plus, when the propane tank ran out, the heater stopped; each time you needed heat, you had to drag it out, connect it to the tank, leave plenty of floor space around this self-contained-blowtorch; put it all away when you were done; and of course find a place to store it. Also, there was no thermostat. All in all, a royal pain in the keister. (Google search on: "propane heater carbon monoxide" to read about the serious risk of carbon monoxide from propane heaters.)

Step 2: I bought one of these electric heaters. It has only half the btu's of the propane unit, but there is no need to open a window or door for ventilation. It also has a thermostat, so you can set it (to a number, not a temperature), and come back 30 minutes later and be in relative comfort. On days in the low 30s, it will keep the garage in the 60s, which is fine for working.. (My attached garage ceiling and 2 walls are insulated.) My heater is mounted high up on a wall, but it can also be mounted to hang from the ceiling, as long as the clearances laid out in the instructions, are followed. In any case, once mounted, it is out of the way, and always ready. There's nothing to haul out or set up when you need heat -just turn it on. When done, just turn it off. This heater needs a dedicated 30-amp 220-volt circuit. You wouldn't want to use this every day, due to electricity costs, but for occasional use, it is perfect.

My advice is to skip step 1.

Note: As of this writing, Amazon sells this heater under several names:

Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Automatic 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4

Fahrenheat/Marley FUH54 Suspended Electric Heater

Dayton G73 Electric Garage Heater

Multi-Watt Horizontal Downflow Unit Heater With Thermostat 208/240v

These are all the same heater; it is manufactured by Marley Engineered Products of Bennettsville, South Carolina.

My garage is about 7' tall, 20' long and 10' wide, so not a big garage by any means, but enough to do work in. I set out to find the most powerful heater I could reasonably install, for a reasonable amount of money. So far this heater heats up the garage in a few minutes which is perfect, and judging by other comments here it has no problem with larger garages either. I have yet to do a proper degree/minute study but I will save that for when it is really cold outside.

The manual that comes with the unit has some restrictions on where you can mount it, such as spacing away from walls and ceiling so make sure you have a fair amount of room, or a cleared away area to place it.

The only gripe with this heater is that it doesn't come with any wiring hardware at all. I can understand the plug doesn't come with it, but it would be nice if a pigtail came out of the box that you could splice your own plug onto. I can understand why they don't, since they can't assume their pigtail would be long enough for your installation.

I ended up buying perhaps $60 extra stuff to wire this heater into my garage, which includes putting a receptacle on the wall and a plug onto the end of the wire I ran out of the heater unit. It's something to keep in mind if you have a budget. On the plus side, I now have a 240V outlet in my garage that other things can be plugged into in the future.

Reviews of Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I've had a number of humidifiers and this one fairs favorably to most. First, it uses a cool air wick rather than a sonicator (which puts the water contaminants on your furniture and in your lungs) or a heater (which is inefficient, gets horrible mineral buildup which is very difficult to clean, and can cause fire hazards). It has a huge tank. And it has a humidistat so you can just turn it on and forget about it, aside from refilling it every day or two. It will get the humidity where you want it not too dry, not too humid. For these reasons, I recommend this unit.

The downsides: It is not as nice as the model it replaced (which I also have) which looks almost exactly the same. The controls and display are a little less obvious they added more functionality with too few buttons. That is easily dealt with by deciding how you want to use it and then always putting it in that mode. I like to set the fan to low or medium (so it is nice and quiet and you hardly hear it) and then set the humidity to 30, 35, or 40. As others here have mentioned, the hygrometer is a bit flaky. At times it is stable. At times it jumps around a bit. This can lead the system to turn on and off in response to changes in the measured humidity. It still gets the humidity to roughly what you set it to (as I've verified with a separate hygrometer). And if you don't have the fan set too high, you don't really notice that it turns on and off a bit more than it needs to. Mine has not turned on and off in short succession that frequently, although sometimes it does. It doesn't appear to impact its efficacy or accuracy, although if the fan is high and the room is quiet, it might really bug some people on the occassions it cuts on and off. Some people here report more aggressive cycling than I've observed. Sunbeam really should fix this and ponder a user interface tweak. The improvement over the previous model is that it continuously reports the hygrometer reading, which is really nice.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I still greatly prefer this over all the other humidifiers I've ever owned (and about the same as the model this one obsoleted).

For those saying they aren't sure if it humidifies their room, get a hygrometer. You know, those digital temperature/humidity sensors with the LCD panel. I have one from Honeywell. This humidifier is able to keep my humidity at 40% in a LOFT apartment in Nebraska winters. We're talking below zero, frozen and humidity in the teens without a humidifier. In a single level apartment, it can get us to 50% but I keep it at 45. It is about twice as capable as a warm mist humidifier that can't get the room above 30%. PLUS, the warm one requires about 230w of electricity to run vs about 30w for the fan in this one. PLUS, the heater block in the warm mist unit must be soaked in white vinegar and have the minerals scraped off of it periodically. Pain in the butt, and not worth it.

The downside? The filter must be washed in a bucket of soap water every so often or it accumulates pink/black mold and smells funny. It won't hurt you, but it is unpleasant. That's the only reason I don't give it 5 stars.

I like the automatic setting. I want 45%? It will hold it there. That way I don't have to touch the thing until its running empty.

Use distilled water ONLY for the best results, as with all humidifiers.

Best Deals on Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

Pros:

-Humidifies large rooms for a low price.

-Auto humidity regulation (great for our guitars which need ~45% all the time)

Cons:

-I have exclusively used Brita distilled water on this, and the filter still needs to be cleaned/changed at least once a month.

Other thoughts:

-We fill the tank once every three days to keep a 300 sq ft room humidified at 45%

-We have three acoustic guitars that we can leave out and not worry about with the regulator

-We had to get used to the continual on/off's throughout the day because we run it on "Auto 1" at 45% humidity

Cleaning the filter:

-Place the filter in the sink or bucket, fill with warm water, add some bleach (and stir), let sit for 15 minutes, rinse with cold water, stick back in humidifier damp

Honest reviews on Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

No, it is not the quietest humidifier on the block, but its no worse than a box fan in the window in the summer. I find it very effective at doing its job and it is easy to maintain. With regular use and recommended filter changes, mold is not an issue and it removes some of the dust from the air. The only reason I'm replacing it is because I damaged the one I've had for 3 years when I moved. Getting another one just like it.

I bought this in mid December to replace an earlier version of this humidifier that ran for at least a decade (the humidistat on the old one is a slider knob...). I learned with the first unit to religiously use the bacteriostat, which I can buy at the local bed and bath store that sends those never expiring coupons. Other than that, I pretty much neglect the unit until end of season, when the wicking filter gets the vinegar treatment and I decide whether or not it will make it to next season. It's used mainly in a 12 x 14 bedroom, although the door is always left open. Definitely provides needed humiditydry air nosebleeds are gone. It sits on a braided area rug, which helps absorb some of the sound from the fan. After seeing the buildup of white, sticky mineral deposits inside of my stereo and other electronics from my ultrasonic humidifiers, I switched to these wicking style machines years ago. I'd rather the buildup occur on the wick than in my lungs, on my skin, and all over the house.

As others have written, the fan can cycle frequently, especially when you first start it up. I think this digital humidistat is more sensitive than my old, analog slider, and sometimes causes the fan to cycle more frequently. Like other sounds in your house, you learn to ignore it, but I think it helps if the unit is on a sound absorbing surface rather than a hard floor or hard tabletop.

For the money, I am happy with this machine. I hope it lasts as long as the first one did.

Best Haier CPN14XH9 14,000 BTU Portable Room Heat/Cool Air Conditioner Deals

Customer Ratings:

To be fair, the unit does well on cool days (below 85). On hotter days, when you really need it, it barely keeps my 350 sq ft. appartment at 80. This is not my idea of comfort. In addition I don't cook in the apartment and I don't have massive southern exposure either so those excuses are not valid. This unit simply doesn't live up to the 14000 BTU rating (considering entire houses run just fine on 2 ton units). Called customer service today and they'll send a technician over, we'll see what happens but I don't think they'll consider it faulty. My impression so far is save your money and buy something better.

Update: Last time I reviewed this AC I'd just bought it. Obviously the technician didn't find it to be faulty he just said I was expecting too much with the weather outside (it was 95 or so outside). I've had it for 2 years now and it keeps the apartment (350-400 sq feet BTW) cool enough (72-74 degrees) on days where it's mildly hot (mid 80s) outside but it consistently fails to live up to the 14,000BTU rating when it's hotter and will leave the apartment at 80-85 degrees or so if it's getting to 95-100 degrees. I've kept it mainly because:

1) I'm at work most of the time and get home at night so this AC's failure isn't as annoying as it could be : )

2) I'd never get my money back

3) I suspect many floor standing models are just as poorly made and I really don't have many windows that I care to block. How much money will I waste to find one that works a little better?

I hope this helps.

I have used this unit for about 5 years. It has worked great as a backup unit at my small store when the main ac broke. I live near the ocean and window units rust away in no time. This unit is indoors and hooks up in minutes. It's fantastic for our older shore home because it can easily be moved from room to room. I have found it works just great in 90* temps because I used it last month during a heat wave. The heating feature is really nice because It will take the chill off the house in early morning without turning the heat on. My 95 year old mother loved it because she could keep the room she was in warmer than the rest of the house, great for us. This unit may not be for everyone, which might be why some don't like it.

If you follow the instructions and use the included cheap plastic inserts and the provided screws, the insert will crack and the recommended 3/8 dia. drill size will not allow you to secure it tightly to a wall. Toss that package and get some 3/16" x 2" wing nut expansion anchors from Home Depot or Lowe's to go into your "already its too late I drilled the 3/8" holes." Secure the two support plates to the wall, adjust with a level and tighten. Then it works great and is not going to come loose. The glass front insert, is difficult to level in the side slots, but with some adjustment you can get it level. When filling the fuel tray remove the glass front, even though the instructions fail to mention this...any spills wll go up in flames before the fireplace fuel box intended fuel will. Fuel is expensive and if it were pegged to the price of a barrel of oil it would break the bank. All of that being said plus an additional $5.00 spent in metal wall anchors, the unit is beautiful and a perfect size for a small apartment, office or even a kitchen to add atmosphere with a bonus of a bit of heat also.

Love this fireplace, very easy to hang and lightweight. Does not get overly hot against the wall from what I've seen. Fire warms the room nicely. Definately recommend. The only issue I've had is it's hard to get the biofuel into the bins without and spilling it...and you DON'T want to spill it as it's an accelerant and will burn rapidly on anything it touches. So it would be nice if they would come up with some pour spout for the biofuel to make it easier! Otherwise, LOVE IT!

Just received my Chelsea stainless steel fireplace. I ordered the item on line on a Tuesday and received it by Friday. Item arrived very nicely packaged as to avoid any dents...great as this has occured when I've ordered other stainless steel items. Item is just as it appears on line. Very nice. It is very light so I should have no problem mounting this without the help of my husband. It's about the size of a 27" flat screen and will look great under the television. The best thing about this order was the great customer service I received. I called the seller directly as I had a problem with promotional code. I think I spoke to the owner and he informed him of my issue. I left my number and he called me back within the hour and walked me through the ordering process so I was able to receive the 20% discount. The only thing that I need to add is that the fuel is shipped seperately. I am sure this is because it's a flammable liquid so if you plan on using it right away, you may want to add some additional days for delivery. I am truly excited and plan on buying the outdoor version for the pool area.

I have had this heater for about two years. I am a 62 year old grandmother and take good care of my equipment, so this heater has been well cared for. The cord wrapped around the pedestal this morning, creating a tiny bit of tension at the point where to cord enters the back of the fan. There was a loud pop and then flames shooting out of the back of the fan. Thank goodness I was standing right there or my house could have burned down. I will be reporting this to the company than makes them, but I am getting rid of the other identical heater I have. This is a fire hazard.

I bought my Optimus H-4501 heater last month and am super impressed with it. First of all, for anyone who uses a heater at night in their room, having a low-laying floor model makes no sense. It will just point heat at the side of your bed. Having the elevated "heater on stick" model makes all the sense in the world. Now the heat is aiming at you. I have another pedestal heater of a different brand which made its way to my garage, because although it has a shut-off timer, it has no thermostat, so it's either on low, on high, or off. The Optimus has a thermostat, and a good one, not just a dial, but rather a digital display where you pick the desired temperature digitally and the heater turns off when that temperature is reached and back on when the room gets cold again. I've never seen a pedestal heater that has both a timed shut-off feature and a thermostat until I found this one. Also, it's very QUIET in its operation, even while in oscilating mode. And I like the backlit digital display which is at eye-level from a bed. It's got a nice remote control, but I hardly ever use it sense the screen and controls are at very easy to reach (as opposed to my old heater which had them located on the base of the unit). Last, but not least, like all dish heaters I've tried before, this heater projects substantial heat at you very quickly. I've never had to use the high setting yet. I would recommend this heater to everyone. I really feel it's the best space heater ever!!!

I have only had this product for one day as of 01/09/2013. I will comment later if need be.

So far, I don't see any problem with the item itself, HOWEVER, I thought I was buying, and paid for, a new product. It may be new, but the packaging (original) was definitely previously OPENED and then poorly re-boxed. I was skeptical but took the heater out of the box anyway since the box didn't appear to be damaged.

All the parts were there except the two AAA batteries that are advertised as included. This could be an oversight on the person who re-boxed the heater. The remote worked okay but was just tossed loose in the box and could have been damaged or lost, BTW, the box exterior states two AA batteries included! I tried to install two AA 's before I realized only AAA's would fit (dah).

The assembly is very simple, no tools required. The unit, while operating in the oscillating mode is a little wobbly, sort of top heavy but acceptable. The pedestal telescopes and is extendable somewhat, in the highest position while oscillating it is a little noisy but in the lowest position I didn't notice it.

You can run the unit with or without the timer (8 hr max) and with or without oscillating.

The safety tip-over switch is built in to the unit (a mercury switch I guess) and is NOT a visible on-off switch on the bottom of the stand. I tested it and it works fine from any tipped position.

So far, so good :)

This heater works great. I like the display and the remote and the fact that it moves like a fan. What I did not like, the noise. It was fine at first but now it's louder than a fan. I would have given it 5 stars but the noise is a bit annoying.

***the noise comes once in awhile now. it's been used at least 12 hours a day for the last 10 days.

Great value. I checked out MER rating and compared with 3M we had been getting. These are very comparable for 1/3 the cost

My order arrived yesterday. I took one out, of the box, and held it up in the sunlight. It is easy to see that this is well made, and made of quality materials. I have purchased many HVAC filters before (good and bad). I have no doubt that these are as good as any I have used. P.S. I bought these on-line because my size is hard to find.

says 20x24, actual size is more like 19x22.5 I'm not sure as the air handler turns on/off that it doesn't cause the filter to shift around. It works, but it would be nice if the size was accurately represented.

I bought this hose because I wanted to maximize the safety, usefulness and economy of the propane Portable Buddy heater by Mr Heater. You can't go wrong buying this hose!

1. It allows the use of a larger LP tank (I have a 20 lb cylinder). I am certain the savings from buying LP fuel in bulk will pay for the hose.

2. You can locate the bulk tank a good distance away from the lit heater. I use the heater primarily in my garage, and with the hose I can put the heater up on a shelf or on the workbench, off the floor, and still have the bulk tank in a convenient and safe spot.

3. The hose can be used with any propane appliance that uses disposable propane cylinders.

Here's an essential safety tip when using this hose: be sure to shut/close the valve on the bulk tank BEFORE you remove the hose from the tank. It's possible to remove the hose end from the bulk tank without closing the tank valve and you will quickly find out that liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is another name for stinky, oily mess when it comes squirting out of the valve as I've done.

I bought two of these hoses to attach to two 20lb propane tanks. Attaching to 20lb propane tanks is a huge savings over using the individual 1 quart propane cyclinders. Hoses work very well. The only thing to remember when attaching the hose to 20lb propane tanks is that the couplings are left hand threaded (i.e. you must turn to the left to tighten).

If you are buying the Mr. Buddy Heater, this hose (or the 5' model) are definately needed. By using the larger (20lb or bigger) tanks you have many more hours of operation without having to change the disposable tanks. This hose will also allow you to use bulk tanks with any propane appliance that accepts the disposable tanks (stoves, lantern, etc.).

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 75,000 BTU 12-Foot Propane Hose Assembly #F273702

I bought this extended hose to keep the radiant heater hanging on the ceiling in my garage while allowing the tank to be a good distance away. While the POL style fitting worked fine for the 20Lb propane tank I have but the other end does NOT fit in the MH40LP gas inlet. It would've been nice to know what parts I needed before hand, now I will have to go to homedepot and do research on the parts I need or having to once again order off the internet and wait...

This is the hose you need to hook up your Buddy heater to a larger (20 lbs) propane tank.

This hose is all you need. You don't need anything else. You don't need a regulator. However, adding a fuel filter wouldn't be a bad idea.

Both ends of this hose are suggested to be hand-tightened. Fine. However, I couldn't get mine to pass gas. The fitting going into the heater needed another 1/8" of turn at which point the gas flowed freely. Apparently the fitting is quite sensitive. This required a wrench as I had tightened it as much as possible, by hand. You may, or may not, need to do this.

The hose itself is of good quality, and so are the brass fittings. Nevertheless, the hose needs protection from abrasion and assorted abuse. As a reminder, recall that the fitting going into the propane tank must be turned counter-clock-wise to tighten, as opposed to normal threading which is turned clock-wise to tighten. Finally, remember to turn off the gas at the propane tank, and letting the heater burn off the gas in the line, so as not to turn the Plasticizer in the hose into gunk, which would clog up your heater.

(There is another hose, without the Plasticizer being sold by Mr Heater, but of course, having no Plasticizer, that hose will be stiff as heck.)
