While this blanket certainly heats well, the location of the controls right in the middle of the blanket means that you're always fighting the wires and trying to get them out of the way. Also, the slightest bump changes the setting on the controls, so you frequently turn them higher or lower or even on and off without wanting to. I'm surprised that the manufacturer let this very poor design off the factory floor.

This is a nice blanket. It warms up reasonably fast and provides an even heat over the entire blanket area. The only thing I would change is where the power cord attaches to the blanket. The cord comes out in the middle of the blanket on one of the narrower sides. So, if you have the blanket over you in the long direction, from your shoulders to your feet, the cord comes out by either your neck or feet. Because of my wall outlet location, the cord has to be by my neck, which can be a nuisance. I think it would be much better if the cord came out one of the corners instead.

We got this blanket for Christmas and it actually works really, really well. There are three heat settings, plus it turns off after 3 hours so you don't have to worry about burning yourself or getting overly sweaty throughout the night. We actually DID save money on our power bill last winter (January was almost $40 lower than December!). It was pretty amazing. We're actually excited for winter again so we can use it. Very comfortable and very pretty looking on the bed the ivy color matches our drapes!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Microplush Throw Blanket

Very pleased with my Sunbeam microplush electric throw. It warms up very quickly and then somehow adjusts to the temperature of your body. The warmth is even and consistent. DOES NOT feel like a thermostat is going on and off to adjust. All over warmth. I can equate the comfort to taking out a towel from a warm clothes dryer on a very cold day. The throw is not as soft as a microplush blanket because let's face it, it's an electric blanket and it has very supple wires inside...but you really can't feel them. The thermostat control doesn't look like the one pictured. It is long and is very easy to operate. One button changes the temperature from low to medium to high. Has a 3 hour shut off which is really convenient for kids who forget to shut it off or when sleeping. A couple of reviewers said that the plug was in the middle of the blanket, which is not so. The plug is positioned at the BOTTOM of the blanket in the middle. I don't find it to be in the way at all...also the electrical cord is sufficiently long enough to accommodate outlets behind a couch. Like it so much, I just ordered another one for my son who thinks the one I just got for myself, is his :) You won't regret this purchase!

I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas since she is always cold in the winter time.

Long story short, she ended up spending the majority of the winter curled up underneath it.

It warms up quickly, and kept her nice and toasty even when we turned down the heat to save on utilities.

Also, those who complain about the cord coming apart have not connected it properly. There is a plastic latch which when clipped in keeps the cord securely in place.

Buy BISSELL Little Green PROheat Deep Reach Spot Cleaner, Bright White

Customer Ratings:

I have owned this portable machine for 18 Mo and I purchased it to clean my car carpet. It works great and provides heated water to clean car carpets like new. I got a puppy recently and of course we are house breaking him but it was impossible to keep up after him if we let him anywhere in the house outside his crate. That was until I remembered my portable Bissell. I also have the big green Bissell but it was a pain to drag out every time the puppy urinated but the little green heated machine is outstanding. It deep cleans the carpet instead of just pushing it deeper and leaving odor like trying to clean up with rags and hot water. The real advantage was when the puppy had diarrhea which is impossible to pick up and clean out without a carpet cleaner. This things pulls all of the mess and stain out and with a little disinfectant added to the solution the spot turns out virtually dry and odor free which is critical because once the dog marks a spot the instant he smells the old residual odor that becomes the bathroom location. If you have a pet (puppy or incontinent older dog) and you are an ultra clean neat-freak you will want this portable machine?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The BISSELL LITTLE GREEN SPOT CLEANER is a handy little carpet stain cleaner that's good to keep around for cleaning small accidents around the house. However, if you have pets or small kids, where accidents on the carpet are prone to happen frequently, I would suggest getting Bissell Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner with Deep Reach Technology, 33N8A. Although that unit costs about $30.00 more than the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN, it has two choices of either using a hands-free set-it-and-go scrubber or using the hose and manually cleaning out stains from the carpet (i.e. in hard to reach areas like stairs or in a corner or on furniture). The Bissell "Spotbot" is much easier to use because you simply have to place the unit on top of the stain and press a button and leave it alone. It does all the work for you. Whereas the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN only has the hose nozzle and two brush attachments, a large one for deep cleaning and a smaller one for all the rest, and you have to manually use the hose, spray the stain with the nozzle, and clean the mess up. There's no other option.

Also with the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN there's some assembly required, which is just to attach the hose holder and it's very simple to set up -requiring only a Phillips head screwdriver. The unit also comes with a small bottle of cleaning solution. You mix a little of the solution with lots of water in the cleaning tank chamber, which has clearly marked water and solution lines; the other chamber is for the collection of the dirty water that you rinse out after use. It's pretty much foolproof. Both the left and right chambers come on and off easily, too, and latch securely.

Although the LITTLE GREEN boasts that it continually heats up the water, I still think the "Spotbot" is the better deal.

I had to cleanup a mess of wet dog food on the carpet, after my Shiba Inu decided to push her dinner plate off of the bed and onto the floor, and though the LITTLE GREEN did a good job, I still like the "hands free" convenience of the "Spotbot." And comparing both units side by side, the "Green" is only slightly smaller than the "Spotbot."

Of course, either unit is better than scrubbing the carpet with your hands and a brush but if you're trying to decide between the two, and you have pets and/or small kids, go with the "Spotbot."

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When the Bissell Little Green PROheat Deep Reach Spot Cleaner arrived at my home it had it's work cut out for it. My stairs were the number one priority and depending on the results I had hoped to use it in my car and RV.

Preparing it for use was easy and I was cleaning my stairs within 15 minutes of unboxing it. I had vacuumed the stairs earlier and that is recommended. Now it did take a little more effort than a full size machine, but try lugging a full size machine up the stairs! I have a total of 14 stairs, with a small landing in the middle and it took about 45 minutes for me to finish, but once dried (overnight) and vacuumed again the carpet looked better than it did when we bought our home several years ago. Next I headed out to the RV thankfully it was parked in our driveway and close to an outlet. This was going to be a huge test on just how heavy duty this cleaner could be, it's a 20+ year old RV that I have no idea when the carpets were thoroughly cleaned last. Luckily the carpeted areas aren't too big and I was able to finish in under an hour. I could have been faster, but I had to empty and refill the water many more times than I did with the stairs. The dirt coming out of the carpet was horrible and I kept going over areas until it started to run clear. In the end it didn't look brand new, but a definite improvement. I also noticed that the drying time was less than the stairs, possibly because the padding was thinner?

Since the stairs and the RV, I have done the carpets in my car and a small closet in the house. Both cleaned up well and using the Little Green was much easier than trying to use a full size machine. If you are looking for a small area or spot cleaner I have no problem recommending it. The only complaint I have is that the Bissell branded cleaning solutions are rather expensive and I would like to find a reasonable alternative or see the price lowered.

Honest reviews on BISSELL Little Green PROheat Deep Reach Spot Cleaner, Bright White

This cleaner does the job fairly well of getting spots out.

Pros:

Injects the cleaning mix into carpet very well

Keeps cleaning solution warm while using I always start with warm water from the faucet, so I can't comment on how long it would take to warm up cold water

Solid build quality, I'm not afraid at all of this breaking

Con:

The suction through the vacuum isn't very powerful, it takes a pretty good amount of time to thoroughly dry the spot you just cleaned. I would say if you don't want the area to be sopping wet after cleaning, it takes about 10 minutes to do an area of about 1 square foot.

Overall: I'm pretty happy with this, and after using it, would get it again for what I bought it for. Quick tip, you only need about half as much solution as the instructions say for most stains.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a great and very handy item. The built in hot water heater boosts the water temperature so you can use the heat to remove stains much better. You can leave the cleaner in the tank ready to use so you can "pounce" on stains immediately as the machine heats up as soon as it is plugged in. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 young children, so this device gets used often and never disappoints! In addition to doing a great job the Little Green Proheat takes up very little room.

I installed this in a case as a preventative action. I've used the moisture absorbing chemical and it seemed to work fine... the bag would fill up with water. However, this became inconvenient for my application and expensive.

After installing the GoldenRod, it seems to be working fine. It warms the air slightly and the humidity does seem to be lower.

[[ASIN:B000R88XTA Air King 8566 Oscillating Ceramic Heater with Programmable Thermostat, 8-hour Timer and Remote ControI. I have a 10 plus year old space heater, the old element type, that I have been wary of falling asleep with it on. So, the search began, I read almost all reviews of the types I was most interested in, ceramic and radiant type of space heaters. No one heater, or for that matter, no one product will satisfy all. But, the Air King 8566, provided all the options, if you will for heating comfort and ease of use. Many other heaters were found to be inaccurate in there temperature settings, not this one. The remote works just like the panel on the heater, no confusion there and even on the high auto mode, the fan noise is not distracting. No reviews that I read on this heater alarmed me as so many others did. This model is the top of the Air King line of what amazon sells and is not inexpensive, but the old adage, you get what you pay for certainly applies here.

If this heater wasn't a bit noisy, I would give it 5 stars. It heated up my room within a few minutes, even with the door ajar. Both the main unit and the remote are easy to use; there is even a hook on the back of the unit to hang the remote, so it's not misplaced. I like the fact that it heats the air, not a specific object, so that I do not become over-heated. In addition, the unit is light-weight, but sturdy and thus not likely to get knocked over. If I need another space heater, I'll purchase a second one.

This is the 3rd winter I have had this stove, and my wife and I are very impressed as to how it has performed. Our family room is in the rear of our house (added on), and it has always been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. Since I didn't have either natural gas or propane at my house, I researched everything carefully before my purchase. I ended up having my local propane company provide a 100 gallon tank (it usually lasts at least a full year), and I installed a flexible gas line to the new location. It was actually pretty simple for anyone who is handy with tools.

Since the installation, we have found we can decrease the thermostat setting for our house furnace a full 5 degrees and be perfectly comfortable in the family room. There was a noticeable drop in our overall heating costs the past 3 years. When you add that to the ambiance of having a fireplace, and the fact that there is no mess involved, this is one of my best purchases.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and needed a natural gas heater solution. After searching the internet, this stove seemed to meet my needs due to its high BTU rating, nice looks and some comments made by folks on various websites. However, once installed, it did not work. After several calls to customer service, it turned out that this stove does not work over 4,500 feet elevation (I am at 7,000 ft). Nowhere did it say this anywhere in all of the sales brochures published nor on anyone's website. Customer service did say it this information was posted on their website. However, I did not buy it from their website. Anyone who lives at higher altitude should avoid this product.

I was concerned if this would work at my home at 7,800 feet. It was very difficult to heat above 60 degrees with large windows in the front of the house. Another reviewer gave it a single star for not working at 7,000 ft. and mentioned he was using Natural Gas which may have been his problem. I have a 500 gallon LP tank and use it for central heat and the kitchen stove. Propane is under a higher pressure than Natural Gas. It worked so well I installed one heater in my bedroom. I have it at the lowest heat setting when it is 18 degrees outside at night. I no longer need my electric blanket and my dog loves sleeping in front of it.

One of these stoves is the Living Room under a large picture window. It works like a charm. I no longer close the blinds and have a great view of the snow capped mountains around the house. This raised my living room 15 degrees in a lttle over an hour. I did not purchase the blower for the unit since I have ceiling fans. I just turned them to rotate clockwise and the air is "sucked up" and distributed around the room. I no longer heat the whole house but just the rooms I use.

After getting out of the shower in the morning I can wear a towel while roaming around the house still dripping wet, make coffee and take my time getting dressed before going out into the snow to get my newspaper and clearing the driveway.

After all the work it is nice to have these "space" heaters keeping me warm in previously "cold" rooms.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Stove - 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T

I bought this two months ago and finally had it installed today. I cannot say enough how great this little stove is! We bought it for a renovated basement area for warmth and ambiance and it gives plenty of both. We did not purchase the blower because the room is only 400 sq ft, and I can say for sure now, it wasn't needed for us. The instant heat filters out at a pretty decent pace and the room is warm within minutes.

I put this together on my own with no problems, and the install went smoothly. I chose this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on other websites and also because of the price. Our installer was very impressed with it and plans to recommend it to others as well.

Best of all, it is very attractive. Before it was even installed we had it sitting out during a party and it became a topic of admiring conversation: our guests asked us to invite them back to enjoy the fireplace after the install.

I noticed an earlier reviewer that was angry mentioned receiving a different model, and I want to point out, we ordered from this seller but the fireplace is slightly different than the picture above. But fret not I think it's much nicer! There is no 'ProCom' logo on the front. I was happy about this because I thought it looked a little cheap with that. So I have to say I am 100% happy!

****** Update

We've now had this in use every day for a few weeks. It is in our basement, and we have found that it is not 'overwhelmingly hot' in our space because much of the hot air rushes up the stairs and is also heating the first floor of our home, so we've hardly even had to run the home furnace at all. It makes all the rooms feel comfortable and cozy. WOW. I can't wait to see how much this lowers our winter gas bill!

I purchased an antique home in the summer and was told the floor furnace was great by the inspector. When winter came, after the house filled with gas TWICE had to disconnect. After a winter with no heat (and of course no water since pipes freeze), I was a VERY motivated buyer. This little stove (with the blower) sits in my living room. The 1100 sq. ft. house has no other heat system. Even when temperatures drop to below 0, my house is toasty warm. Because my house has doors and halls all over the place, I do place a floor fan in front of the hall from the living room towards the bedrooms. This helps move the warm air into the bedrooms and bathroom. Houses of similar size and from the same time period with central heat on my block run around 150 dollars a month to heat in the winter. My house runs between 20 and 35 dollars a month. The temperature is kept on 55 when I am gone during the day and 70 at night. However, it only takes a short time for the little stove to warm up the place. Also, I have hard wood floors. My stove doesn't sit on a platform of any kind. There has been no damage to the floor in the 6 years the vent free stove has been heating my home. A bonus is that the heat dries clothes on a little wood drying rack within hours. This saves money, is "green", and puts some humidity back into the house. Another added bonus is the flickering of the flames. They are just a delight to watch dancing after the lights are out on a cold winter's night.

I had the "old model" of this oven for around 5-years or so. I broke one of the infrared bulbs (while cleaning it) last week. Fortunately I found out that they have started to make this oven again. They had stopped (or at least stopped importing them) when I checked a couple of years ago for a friend of mine who wanted one. But this "new model" is exactly the same as my "old" one except the name on a couple of buttons has changed, and also it's now silver instead of white.

Frist, let me just say what this toaster oven is NOT. . .It is NOT a replacement for a "traditional" oven. If you're looking for something of that sort, then I highly recommend you check out one of the Breville or Black & Decker models. This Panasonic toaster oven will NOT cook a chicken. . or bake an 8" pie.. . or bake a cake. But what it does. . .it does VERY well.

This oven works by infrared light. You can Google to find out exactly how this works, if you want the specifics. Because of this, there is no pre-heating required. The lights will turn on-and-off while the oven is in operation. This can be a little "confusing" when you start to use it, but you'll get used to it.

This oven works WONDERFULLY for the following items:

* Toast using whatever bread you like. . . however thick you like

* Toasting bagels or English muffins

* Heating pastries or croissants

* Baking biscuits (Pillsbury frozen buttermilk biscuits are my favorite)

* Heating frozen appetizers such as breaded cheese sticks, chicken fingers, etc.

* Pizza reheating or baking. Either a small whole pizza or a slice of a large pizza

* Frozen garlic bread

* Cookies

Though the guide says that you can bake cakes and pies in it. . . I've tried, and it didn't work for me. If you're baking small tarts which are perhaps a half-inch thick. . .or a cake where it's no more than ½ inch thick.. .then perhaps you could get it to work. . but again. . . this is not like a "traditional" oven, so I think if you're going to bake such things, then you would be much better off using a "traditional" oven.

It's wonderful that there is no pre-heating. I put frozen biscuits in, and 20-minutes later they are just perfect.

The oven has some preset buttons on the front where you can also choose from "light" (shorter cooking time) to "dark" (longer cooking time). . . or. . . you can choose the temperature and length of cooking you would like, up to 25-minutes.

The pan that comes with the oven is 9-inches square. This is certainly the maximum size for the oven.

You will learn by trial-and-error what works best with this oven. But after having one for around 5-years, I can HIGHLY recommend it. I have never seen a toaster oven which works like this. . .which has pre-set buttons. . .which doesn't require pre-heating. . . . and does such a fantastic job.

It's hard to believe that I get so excited about such an item. . .but this is one of those rare occasions where something just works well. . . REALLY REALLY well.

P.S. If you are not using the preset buttons, this toaster oven has a timer up to 25-minutes. If you press the "up" arrow to increase the time, it goes in 30-second intervals up to ten-minutes, and then it goes by 1-min intervals. If you want to bake something on the "higher-end" of the timer, then use the "down arrow" to start with and it will go from 25-minutes backwards.

Thank goodness this wonderful toaster oven is available again!!! I used the previous version for many happy years. It is a perfect design (small footprint on countertop, easy-to-use controls) and quickly produces great toast and perfectly baked foods! I have missed having this oven, since I dumbly tossed my old one out last year, when it began looking its age. To my great dismay I quickly discovered that the model had been discontinued and I was unable to buy one like it! So, I resorted to trying an expensive KitchenAid toaster oven (Model KCO223CU) which promptly caused me several severe hand, finger, and arm burns (door didn't open fully, etc.); I removed the darn KitchenAid oven from my kitchen and donated it to charity (still feel a little guilty about the poor person who gets it). I've been without a toaster oven for several months, refusing to settle for anything less than my wonderful old Panasonic Flash Xpress! NOW it is AVAILABLE AGAIN!!! Hip hip hooray!!! Special thanks to my husband, who pointed this fact out to me last night, after seeing it in his Oct. Popular Science magazine; all my wailing and complaining about the unavailable Flash Xpress must've seared into his memory (I'm astonished that he recognized the oven -he never cooks). And, thank you Panasonic!!!! I'm 60 years old and I know a great product when I find one! Aloha from Hawaii!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I hate to harsh people's mellows, I really do, but I also hate trying to find out the cons for a product when it gets almost unanimous praise (I'm sure there is some psychological/societal issue going on with that, but that's a different story), so hopefully I can help others with this.

A few years ago, I went on a toaster research crusade, due to having bought several toaster ovens in as many years, and finally realizing that most of them were just designed to fail within short life spans (IMO).

Even my highly rated and expensive Delonghi, died well before what I expected its life span to be (one year). Finally, I bought the "Cadillac" of toasters, (and I gave it a great review here), the Breville, stainless steel monster (Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ) which costs what seems to be a ridiculous price for a toaster (hint you can get them on BIG sales, (or consider using one of those ubiquitous big % off coupons for a certain bed and bath chain *COUGH*), but has more than 1,000 reviews on here, with 4.5 stars. You get what you pay for with toasters? Maybe.

Interestingly, I had looked at this Panny infra-red model before, since my family of 5 are toastaholics, and the idea of "fast toast" really appealed to me for those rushed school mornings. So I was lucky enough to get one for review from Vine, but unfortunately, after a few weeks of regular use, we have gone back to the Breville. As cool as the infra-red tech sounds, and is, this does not make up for the lack of more practical features and design that I believe it lacks.

PROS:

1. Very small footprint, and good aesthetics. If you lack a lot of counter space, this will make you happy, as it's tiny. Looks good on counter as well (nice clean, modern look)

2. Claims of 40% faster toasting seems to be accurate, at least compared to my Breville. It IS truly, VERY fast at both cooking and toasting.

3. I love the fact that the heat is accompanied by almost blinding light, so you can REALLY see your food. Welding goggles sold separately.

4. Price seems about right, if a little high (now I see it has jumped so not as valid when I got the unit)

5. The cool factor (I'm always up for high tech gadgetry) of infrared light for heating.

CONS:

1. Same as the pro (small size), but this was such a big con for me (family of 5), that it made the unit almost worthless. YMMV. It's so small that I couldn't even fit smallish frozen pizzas in there. And you can forget about some of the what I would consider normal sized frozen pizza brands (diGiorno, Tombstone, California Pizza Kitchen). Not gonna fit. I was also used to cooking even large frozen dishes like lasagnas or pasta dishes in the Breville, and you can forget about that with this one. Again, this can be a pro or con for you, depending on your usage. But if you like to use your toaster as an oven like we do, I would look elsewhere.

2. Uneven cooking. This one surprised me. There is a definite heat bias towards the back of the unit (and I think they mention this in the manual even),so that in some cases, you will need to rotate things for even cooking. Big pain, for me, and that right there is a deal breaker. (you don't HAVE to rotate things, of course, but you will have quite varying degrees of doneness from food in the front vs food in back)

3. Learning curve. Didn't expect this either, but it also ties into the whole "this thing is cool, but kind of a pain!" mentality I have regarding the toaster. You can forget about looking at the back of the box of frozen food for indications on what temp and time settings to use. Due to the faster cooking, and I think the way it cooks, it's almost like there are no directions for you to go by, except your own trial and error. I have burned many a frozen thing, (while inside was still cold), and I have had cases where I had to "reheat" something multiple times because what I thought was done, needed more cooking. You will probably get used to the non-standard calibration over time, but do you really want to have to come up with custom settings, and maybe more importantly LEARN the appropriate setting for every new thing you cook? Blegh.

4. My biggest hope for this was spectacular toast. If it could have done that, I might have considered keeping it just for that reason, and going back to using the regular oven for larger items. Nooooo! Due to the lack of an adjustable height rack (!?!), Every time I toasted something, the bottom (which you can't see, obviously), gets many times darker than the top, and it should be the opposite, IMO, if only for the fact that you can visually inspect to see if your toast is burning or not. This killed me, and is unfortunate, especially if you are a pre-butterer like I am (something the manual states you SHOULD NOT do since it might catch fire!) Rebel, and noted cynic that I am, I DID pre-butter, and had no problems (and IMO you want the buttered side to be the more toasted, not the opposite, and I did not want to toast buttered side down, so you see my dilemma!) :D

I could go on, and I fully realize that a lot of people have and do disagree with the above points (look at the reviews!), but that's the way I see it this is a flawed toaster oven, that does neither toasting, nor ovening well compared to the better conventional tech toaster ovens out there. I REALLY wanted to like it, and was like a kid at Christmas when I opened it and tried it out, but it just fails in too many categories for us to continue to use it.

I can see it being good for single people, or couples that don't eat frozen pizzas, or toast, and people with very little counter space, but again, not my profile, so for me, it was an unfortunate bust. Please note that current prices of the Panny vs. the Breville are not comparable, as the MSRP of the Breville is about double I think, BUT you can get it for MUCH cheaper than that. MUCH (not as cheaply as this unit at it's highest, but close enough to not make a huge difference)

To end on a positive note, if they made a larger model with adjustable height racks, I would be all over it, since that would solve my biggest two complaints.

Honest reviews on Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress Toaster Oven, Silver

In short: these guys thought of everything you could want in a toaster, and made it reliably for a great price.

Also, as far as I can tell, they pioneered the market for infrared toaster ovens for 7 YEARS before anyone else.

If you aren't familiar with infrared toasters, basically it means fast even cooking and no more burnt smelling food after cheese drips or something. It burns differently and it stops smelling quickly.

Cleaning is EASY. The front pullout tray is awesome, I can clean it up in seconds. I can also pull out the grill quick and put it back in.

The only minor negative is that I sometimes want to adjust the time while it is cooking, and it doesnt allow that. You can only adjust cook time at the beginning. Not a big deal though.

Before this toaster, I had tried 2 or 3 that were garbage, they had the traditional timers that never worked or cooked consistently. I had to check constantly to see when something would be magically "done".

My family uses this toaster every day (or close) for the past 5 or 6 years and it still works. It has been dropped, burnt (it was next to the stovetop), and generally manhandled. I am actually surprised it survived this long. I used to look on craigslist for the toaster for a few years when I thought "this should have died by now" because it wasn't on the market anymore and it would completely stink to use anything else.

I'm happy to see you can still get this again. If you want a toaster and can affort spending $100 or so, this is a no-brainer. This model has been THE top rated toaster on amazon for years, literally. It is the Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky of toasters.

To be fair, I might consider the newer infrared Breville's if I was looking at the moment, but it is hard to ignore the Panasonic reliability and simple reality this is a beautiful product across the board.

PS: To Panasonic, why the heck did you stop selling this? I had over 7 people complain to me they tried to buy one EVERYWHERE. People offered to buy mine. You could have jacked the price up an $50 and still sold a ton of them.

I bought my first Panasonic Flash Express toaster about 15 years ago after I saw it in a Popular Science magazine that I must have seen in a doctor's office or bookstore because I haven't been a subscriber in decades. Since then I needed another just months after they stopped importing them. Prices on the dwindling stock reached $250+ for a toaster that sold for $99.95 on Amazon. Eventually I bought a slightly used one for our garage apartment which eventually was brought downstairs when the original unit finally declared "toasted". Speed forward several years (imagine the clock hands spinning like in the movies) and I'm thumbing through the Popular Science today at the grocery store and go the the "What's New" section THE PANASONIC FLASH EXPRESS IS BACK!!! Could tell that the button labels were slightly different but everything else was the same. Thought it might be a cruel trick by Panasonic but this listing does give hope that there might be more in the pipeline. Panasonic and Amazon better get prepared to sell a bunch. Go to the original Flash Express listing and look at the hundreds of reviews and the associated dates. Many if not most of those folk are ready for a new toaster. Many of their friends who had been repeatedly subjected praise for a no longer available household appliance may decide to give it a try and see what these legions of toaster aficionados see in a piece of electrified sheet metal. If Amazon was smart (and they are) they would send a note to previous Flash Express owners and let them know it is available again. Expecting them to see it in Popular Science is a one in a million shot. Not.

The previous model was introduced before social media existed. As soon as it has its own Facebook page and Tweeter hashtag sales of this toaster alone may be able to lift the currently miserable fortunes of Panasonic.

Welcome back. My order is in.

Review of SpendLessOnHeat 1500 Tuscan Mahogany Infrared Heater

Customer Ratings:

I don't know what Hunters problem is the heater was never designed to have a timer which turns on/off at specific times so his isn't broken. He has unrealistic expectations. We are cozy comfey.

Comfort Zone heater SUCKS. I bought one of these heaters and am thoroughly disappointed. It will not turn on until it is really cold, like around 40-45 degrees or so. As a result i ended up using my old heater instead.

When it does turn on (which has been about five times this winter) it won't turn off automatically so the room just got hotter and hotter until i turned it off. I can't program it to turn on/off at certain times because that part doesn't work.

I called customer service (which is lousy-you can't get them half the time after waiting a long time) and they told me to do this and that which i did, but nothing worked. I bought it in the summer when it became available so by the time i tried using it in the winter the money back guarantee was over.

So i'm stuck with a $400 piece of garbage.

P.S. I have seen other reviews that say these units break down a lot. I never got mine to work long enough to break down these other ways. Do your homework and read the customer reviews online. This is too much money to throw away.

Cheap Canvas Log Carrier

Customer Ratings:

I'm happy to have found this log carrier. It's not too large nor too small. I'd seen numerous polyester or plasticky carriers but I wanted something more flexible so that it would lie flat when not filled. It seems highly durable and the end caps are just enough to keep all those little pieces from falling out.

Our old carrier was worn out & wasn't as well made as this new one. It is sturdy & protects against bits of bark falling from the sides

We have heated with wood for the last 30 years and our most loved log carrier finally gave out, It was 44 inches from handle to handle and I ws looking for one to replace it but almost all of them seemed to be considerably smaller. I don't think we could have carried more than 3 good sized logs in them so that meant more frequent trips to get wood which did not excite me. Then I found this log carrier and am so glad that I did. It is good sized and seems sturdy. It holds just as much wood as our old one and the enclosed sides are an added bonus. Now I wonder why we didn;t think to replace our old log carrier sooner. In this instance, newer is better.

Discount Brushtech Radiator and Baseboard Heater Cleaning Brush

Customer Ratings:

If you look carefully at the pictures, there are actually two or three different items depicted. One is a 2.5 ft brush made of white plastic, the other two show a metal one that is perhaps longer and skinnier. I received the 2.5 ft white plastic one.

I have old metal radiators in our brownstone apartment. This works better than anything else I have tried to get the dust out. It condenses down enough to slide in (at least from the top, it isn't skinny enough to get in from the sides), but it is 'bushy' enough to expand into the open slots as it goes down and knock the dust out.

I'm a little worried about the durability (the wire near the handle is already getting a bit too flexible after one round of cleaning 5 radiators), but honestly, I was desperate enough that I would have paid this price even if I had known the brush wouldn't last forever.

The dust comes off the brush easily enough when you wash it.

Works great for cleaning radiators. Bend it in any shape. Very sturdy. Be sure to have a vacuum running while using it so the dust coming out isn't going back in.

Works even better as toilet-paper substitute!

Too thick to side into my cast iron radiators and too flimsy to try to force. The "OXO Good Grips Microfiber Slim Duster" is a million times better.

Good brush, squeezes into radiator, it does spread a lot of dust so be ready with a vacuum to clean up.

This is a great brush. I wasn't able to find anything similar at Lowe's/HD and this got in between the radiator slats great. The only thing is that it could stand to be a bit more sturdy and less flexible. Some flexibility is good but it does kink if it goes in really tight places. But you can hold it down further and it will still work. I was just so happy to find it that I dealt with it. I do think they should combine shipping though and not charge a completely additional fee when they could both fit in the same box and theyt are quite light. I would buy more if it weren't for that.

I have waited more than 3 months to review this tea kettle because I have bought so many in the past and written a rave review after just a couple weeks, only to have it break on me shortly thereafter. In fact, I'm still a bit afraid that if I write this review I will jinx my good luck with this tea kettle.

I bought the Krups kettle because of it's name, because I've heard that Krups products are good quality. It was a bit more expensive than other tea kettles out there, but after having bought 3 cheap ones in the past couple years that have broken down on me, I decided it was worth it to spend a bit more.

The design of the Krups kettle is pretty slick and it works very well. I've had problems in the past with the pop-up lid breaking, but this one has a nice smooth design that seems impossible to break. You can see the water levels through the semi-transparent blue and it has a nice swivel base. The water boils quickly, just as one would hope.

The only negative about this tea kettle is that you can only lift it by the handle after it has boiled because the metal part gets very hot. It took some getting used to for me because in the past, with my plastic kettles, I would sometimes pick it up with two hands, one on the handle and one on the kettle itself, so the first few times I used this one I burned myself. However, by now I've gotten used to it and don't think about it at all.

There was a "new kettle taste" in the water that lasted a bit longer than with other kettles, but of course after more than 3 months it is totally gone.

I hope this kettle will last me a long time! I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Have been using this kettle for about six weeks now and we are very pleased with it. The appearance is nicely finished and the blue light effect when heating is appealing. It has enough capacity to fill a 10 cup teapot and pours nicely without spilling. More importantly, it is quick to bring water to a rolling boil and quiet. Definitely worth the slight premium price over other products.

We bought this kettle because of the Krups name and we liked how it looked. We had it for about 2 weeks and the top started rusting. A kettle to boil water and the top was rusting?!! We sent it back.

Honest reviews on KRUPS BW3990 Prelude Electric Kettle with Blue Lighting Water Level

I bought this about a year ago to replace my Braun. Everything the reviews say are true, it's gorgeous and stylish. The lid does fall off sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. The water tastes great. It does leak if you overfill it. And because it is meta;, it does get very hot, so you have to be careful not to touch the body but only the handle. But this is true for all of the stainless pots. One fine day, it just stopped working, and it was not abused in any way. (The contact between the base and the pot stopped working). My conclusion, this is poor quality and I don't recommend buying it. Too bad! So beautiful!

We bought this product in March and immediately one of the two blue lights shorted out. In about four months it began to rust inside (bottom) and is almost destroyed now.

Poor quality, poorly made and designed. I will not buy Krups again.

Bought this from Menards much less expensive than here. Was disappointed with how small the firebox was. However when it came time to use it I was very impressed. When its 20 degrees outside it heats my 1600 square foot home easy. It doesnt use a lot of wood. It burns the wood to powder. Very easy to get fire going, and maintain. Overall very impressed with this little stove.
