Love Bialetti's new Hot Chocolate Maker!

I'm a big hot chocolate fan, and would have to say the best cocoa experience of my life was in Spain. The hot chocolate was much creamier and richer than anything I've tried here in the US. Not having a lot of time to stand over the stove and whisk milk and chocolate together, the time was right for me to get an electric Hot Chocolate Maker.

The benefits of this machine are that it can make just enough for myself or, when there's a crowd it make up to 32 ozs. You set the dial/timer to adjust how long you'd like to heat the cocoa (less time for smaller amounts, more for larger) and bam it's done. I really like that I don't need to stand over and watch the machine until its ready.

You can use regular cocoa powder mix or chocolate shavings/chips with this machine I highly recommend using the real deal. I've been using some Ghiradelli Drinking Chocolate which makes a more intense chocolate drink.

Overall the Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker was easy to use, easy to clean and gave great results.

I've been using this machine practically everyday (sometimes twice a day) for the last month. I use it mainly to make chai lattes in the mornings (to save money from going to SBucks). At night I sometimes use it for hot cocoa. The frother really does a great job and I get my lattes hot and steamed to perfection. I only gave it four stars because one day my latte ended up all over my counter and I still cannot figure out why (no cracks or anything). So I don't know if it was a malfunction or maybe the lid popped up for a few seconds when I wasn't looking. Bottom line: I would buy this exact machine again in a heart beat. At the price of my grande chai latte from SBucks (3.85), the machine has already paid for itself in the first month of use!

Update 08/2010

Well I had to reduce the rating from 4 to 3 stars as I had to stop using this machine about two months ago due to a number of things:

*Inside mechanism stopped spinning and would take two or three (or more) tries of me taking the pitcher off the stand and re-spinning the timer for it to turn on.

*When it would work, I would have to run it twice on the max amount of time to get my chai latte's hot enough

*Started to stain/smell of rotten milk despite continued soakings and washings (never put in dishwasher)

*Leaked a black tar-ish goo from the top of the base--maybe due to melting; I don't know.

I'm not sure if I would buy another one. This one was great at first and then went downhill after much use.

I recently got home from spending a good amount of time in Europe. I absolutely LOVE their drinking chocolate (I don't drink coffee) and decided to get a machine so I can still enjoy it here in the States.

I spent a lot of time reviewing many different machines from $25 to $150. The lower end machines' reviews were poor more often than not ending with problems after 1-2 months. The higher end machines seemed to be just as good as this one. I decided on this machine and LOVE it! The mixing function actually leaves a little froth at the end of the cycle so I haven't needed to use the frother yet. It was trail and error with timing for the first few cups but after that I get a perfect drinking cocoa every time!

The machine is high quality construction and components. The heating mechanism is really even and accurate. The mixing mechanism is really efficient. All of these things together make for an incredible machine.

I am really amazed and pleased. I have already recommended this machine to some other friends who love hot cocoa as much as I do. The price might seem a little bit steep but for me it is worth every penny! Hope this helps........

Honest reviews on Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker & Milk Frother

I've only had this for a month, but so far it is excellent. I love getting to try different variations of hot chocolate and milk "steamers". Just pour in the ingredients, turn the knob, walk away.

The shaved chocolate is by far the best; been using Trader Joe's Belgian dark chocolate. It melts completely and tastes so good. Also good for whipping up cold drinks, like malted milk, etc.

Great for making a quick cup in the morning, and the top is easy to clean (not immersible though).

It works, but the build quality is very poor. The parts fabrication appears to be of very low precision, meaning that nothing quite fits together the way it should. Here are the problems I had and what I did to fix them:

The base does not sit level, it rests on 3 out of 4 legs and therefore wobbles. This actually seems to allow the mixture's side to side sloshing to build up momentum like a kid on a swingset, eventually pushing the lid up slightly and sloshing out of the container in a delicious chocolatey mess that you get to clean up. This is easily fixed by padding one of the rubber feet to level the base. I used a small circle of tape, about 10 layers thick, to pad the short foot. If you love tape, you'll love this feature.

The knob was clearly designed as part of an experiment to produce the most frictionless material known to mankind. They nearly succeeded. As other people pointed out, the knob is one ant-sized step above completely unusable. My fix for this was to wrap a rubber band around the knob and push it all the way to the base of the knob so it doesn't slide off. This is very noticeable and really goes well with all of my stainless steel kitchen appliances.

The unit is insanely noisy. I've heard blenders crush ice more quietly than this thing blends milk. The noise is caused by the liquid container not sitting level or firmly against the base. Again, poor manufacturing. Some part of the container rattles against some part of the base making an extremely loud racket. If you wiggle the container around while it is running you will find a position which makes it almost silent by comparison. I believe this is the position it was meant to rest in, but again the build quality is very poor. I remedied this by placing felt pad circles (the kind you put under furniture) on top of the base for the container to rest on. This raised the container up about 1/16th of an inch but it still makes electrical contact.

The top does not always seal well, but it is usually okay. I may eventually add an o-ring or bead of food-safe sealant around it to fix this.

After these DIY improvements, and considering the reviews I have read on other units, this actually does seem to be one of the better hot chocolate makers on the market. It is not dishwasher safe, which seems to be standard for these machines since the carafe contains a heating element, but it is fairly easy to wash out because the mouth is wide and it does not have any hard-to-reach areas.

Update: I ended up sending it back because after 1 week of heavy use and many washings I just could not get it all the way clean and it began to smell like peppermint and old milk. I think liquid is able to get into but not out of the junction between the heating surface and the rest of the plastic pitcher. Don't buy this piece of crap. Buy the Breville Milk Cafe instead, for details see my review of that.

This heater is an excellent buy. There is really only two heat output settings. The "third" setting is the "econo" setting and really uses the two different heat settings based on temperature difference between the setting and the room. The fan is not to loud and not too quiet. It is perfect for background noise for sleeping. The safety cutoff switch when the unit tips over works just as described when I tested it. The displayed temperatue setting and other lights are fairly bright and bothered my wife when while we slept. I put a couple of layers of translucent tape over it and it took care of that problem. The stand does not have adjustable height. Ceramic heaters are also safer because their elements do not get glowing hot like most heating elements. When this is combined with the safety cutout, it is much safer than the older style units.

I purchased two of these units. One for a home office that is approximately 10 x 12 with 9 foot ceiling and the other one to be used in various other rooms of the house as needed. For the unit in the office, it is the perfect size and does a great job of keeping the room warm. I like the fact that the unit does not get hot to the touch if accidentally touched and that is is fairly quiet. It does have an "Econ" button on it which changes the fan speed from low to high as needed, a nice touch. It has a big bright display that is easy to read from anywhere in the room. Also comes with a handy remote control, not necessary, but a nice to have.

I did try the other unit in our family room which is a large 15 x 17 with 15 foot ceiling and the unit really did not warm the room at all, which I didn't expect it would. So know the limitations of the unit. Even still, in the big room the heater did take a slight chill out of the room, but not enough to justify it running non-stop for several hours.

The unit has a sleek modern design and does not take up much space. I'm really happy with the units.

Like every other DeLonghi heater I've owned (2 or 3), this one worked great, until it suddenly decided not to! With this particular model the fan just quit working, but the heater still heats up! I'm afraid it is going to catch fire! I've never had a DeLonghi heater last a full year. I'll never buy another one!

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TCH7090ER Safeheat 24 In. Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Michigan: We have an 1800sq ft house with a very open floor plan with central heat that works great except for our closed-off master bed/bath/closet that occupies about 400sq ft and there is a 10 degree difference in there on cold days. We insulated the attic to R60 and had foam injected into the walls, but it actually made my bedroom colder since the heat isn't running constantly now that we have proper insulation. The HVAC guy wanted to sell me on zoning, which is very expensive. So I bought this little heater to see if maybe that would work. It does, and it works great! I have it set up on our dresser, and I just set it to "ECO" mode at 70 degrees. It kicks on only when it needs to, and oscillates warm air around the room. It is very quiet and makes less noise than my tower fan does on low. I'm not sure how it would do if you were heating a room with no supplemental heat, but it works great for making up the difference to get my bedroom on par with the rest of the house. No more cold noses and cold feet at night! It doesn't take up a lot of room and it looks quite attractive. I am quite happy with this solution.

NEW FOUR STAR REVIEW (OLD 2 STAR REVIEW IS SHOWN BELOW):

I upgraded this product from 2 stars to 4 stars. I now like this product. I moved the location of this product away from the house heating vent (my husband had placed it in the corner near the house heater vent). Customer service also recommended that I unplug the unit to 'reset' it so now I turn it off and unplug it after each use. I have also had great temperature success using the ECO mode instead of the Level 1 mode. I set the device to 67 degrees, ECO mode, and oscillate and it keeps the room in a range between 65F-70F (when set at 67F). This range is acceptable to me. The oscillate mode still makes a slight clicking, but seems to smooth out after it has been in use for awhile. In any case, it does not seem to bother my daughter. Now I'm sleeping much better.

OLD TWO STAR REVIEW:

The first week, this product seemed to work nicely. I had it set to 68F and it seemed to come on and shut off with a +/3 degrees max difference from the setting (I have my own thermostat in the room). This week (week #2), I woke up at 4am and noticed that the temperature in my daughters room was 72 and the heater was still going (I had it set at 67F that night). Last night I was awake almost all night monitoring the temperature. I do not have confidence in the thermostat setting on the heater because it seems to not shut off even after the room is over 3 degrees from the setting (or even +5 degrees as I found out when it was set at 67F and the room was already at a hot 72F and the heater was still going). My daughters room isn't that big and I have a thermometer set on the opposite end of her room. Also, when the heater is on oscillate, it makes a slight clicking sound. The heater fan by itself is quiet. Another minus is that there is no confirmation light to show you if you've got the heater in oscillate mode. Sometimes I think I've got it on oscillate (by pressing the button), but when I check later, the heater is on without oscillating. There is no way to know if you've pressed the oscillate mode On or Off (no light for that). I would like to return this unit.

I purchased this heater to provide heat to a room that my daughter receives therapy in. Because she receives phototherapy, as much skin as possible has to be exposed and it is important that the room is warm. Unfortunately, after having the heater professionally installed and with a direct line to prevent any overloads, it will not heat the room. It turns on, but I believe the heating element is near the thermostat so the temperature showing spikes into the 90's and then the unit shuts off. I emailed the seller and got no response. I spent a great deal of money on something that does not work.

Ordered wall heater, was installed, and instantly had a problem, the fan would not shut off. Contacted seller several times and received no action or attempt to resolve issue. Emailed, called and promises made but got no actual action in resolving issue. Contacted manufacturer and they instantly promised to send part needed to repair. Would never purchase from Air and Water again, all talk no action, but would buy another product from same manufacturer as they instantly made things right.

Cheap Ceiling-Mount Industrial Electric Heater - 7500 Watt, 31.3 Amp

Customer Ratings:

Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Industrial Heater 7500 Watt, Model# FUH724

This couldn't have been easier. I chose this heater over a gas model because I had a 220 run right by where I wanted to mount it, but no gas lines even near my garage. There was also a junction box right there that supplies power to my shed (a 2 fuse sub panel for lights and a couple of outlets). My garage is a 2 1/2 car measuring about 34' x 28' with insulation in the walls, but the rafters and ceiling are open. My goal was never to get the entire garage up to 70 degrees and keep it there for the winter, but merely to get it above 55 for about a week so I could finish staining and varnishing the trim work and jams for the windows I replaced a couple of months ago.

My first impression when I picked up the 29 lb. box that was smaller than any computer box I've had in recent years was that there is no way this little heater is going to be able to do the job, but I proceeded anyway thinking that for the price I could get a second one. I ran 10-3 from the junction box down to a wall switch and then back up to where I mounted the heater (with the breaker off). It has very straight forward wiring and simple instructions that were very easy to follow. I flipped on the breaker, fired up the heater, and put it on high thinking that this little guy would probably struggle, but I was very surprised that after about a minute it started cranking out some serious heat. I turned it down about half-way and hung a thermometer at the other end of the garage. The outside temp was around 45 and within an hour or so it was 65 in my garage. I ended up turning it down to low and even with the overnight temp getting into the low 30s my garage has maintained 60 to 70 degrees with no problem.

It's been a little over a week since I got the heater and put it in place and my staining has turned out awesome!

After reading other reviews of this heater, I chose this as the solution for heating my detached workshop.

I had read that the spacing inside was a little tight for wiring the power cord, and this was indeed true. Not a huge deal, but could have been laid out a little better. More frustrating was that the knockout for the 1" access hole was very difficult to remove -much more difficult than in other service panels I've used. One half of it tapped loose pretty easily, but the other half would not even pry out without deforming the side wall of the case a bit A few taps with some body hammers and it was back in shape. That could have been easier, though.

One pleasant surprise I found when reading the included manual is that the unit can easily be configured for any of the following wattages: 3750, 5000, 6250, and 7500. I almost bought the smaller 5000 W unit because I was concerned that my 70 A service to my shop might not be enough to power this heater, air compressor, and other power tools I often use. Now that its installed, it appears to not be a problem, but I wish I had known that it was configurable like this as I would not have hesitated at all buying this bigger unit. If it does trip my main breaker, I can just move a wire jumper or two and lower the heater's power consumption. Brilliant. Of course, it would then put out fewer BTU's, but that's the tradeoff.

In general, I'm impressed with the unit's construction and performance. The fan moves a good amount of air and it fairly quickly raised the temperature of my 864 sq ft shop to a comfortable level. Yes, there are hot and cold spots due to lack of general air circulation, but that could be rectified with small fans in a couple of strategic locations. Using an infrared temperature meter I measured the temp of the floor to be about 47 degrees, objects at mid-height at about 55 degrees, and the ceiling in the middle of the room a toasty 70. That's with the heater thermostat set on one notch above the LO setting (and it's now 25 degrees outside). I'm confident this heater could bring my work space up to 60 or 70 if the thermostat was set higher. I'm anxious to do that test on the next really cold day (has been pretty mild so far this winter). Keep in mind my walls and overhead door are insulated. It would probably not do so well if that wasn't the case. I might consider blowing insulation in the attic space now that I have heat to keep in.

I would definitely recommend this heater to anyone looking for a heating solution for their unheated space.

Best Deals on Ceiling-Mount Industrial Electric Heater - 7500 Watt, 31.3 Amp

I needed to heat an un-insulated 2.5 car garage in the Chicago area, enough to do some wood work over the winter months. I picked this model since it was 50% more powerful than the 5000 watt heater that many reviewed. (I knew from on-line heat calculators that I needed as much heat as I could afford for my set up.)

It requires 8/2 wire, with 240v 40 amp circuit. (It actually uses about 32 amps.) I ran 8/3 (since 8/2 wasn't easily available), and installed a 50 amp outlet & cord. (40 amp outlets are not a common size.)

The unit itself is industrial, as advertised. It is smaller than you might expect for 7500 watts. A few suggestions for improvement:

1. Instructions are poorly illustrated.

2. Instructions state that 10 gauge wire can be used for the supply circuit, but 8 gauge is the proper size. (The wiring diagram inside the unit correctly states 8 gauge.)

3. There are two knock-outs for the power supply cable, one on the back, one on the left. Only one of these two is really large enough for a pre-assembled 50 amp supply cord. This will not be a problem if you are instead running 8/2 or 8/3 directly to the unit.

4. The connection terminals in the unit would be much easier to use if not located in the back corner of the unit.

5. Ability to connect remote thermostat would be nice. (Might be possible; if so, not explained in instructions.)

6. Would be nice to have LED indicating that unit is on.

How does it work? Well, I knew that it would be somewhat undersized for my needs, but I have to say I was underwhelmed when I first turned it on--the heat is noticeable only within a very small area directly in front of the unit. The fan is rated at 2x the CFM of the 5000 watt unit, so I expected the airflow to be noticeable more than 10' from the unit.

To illustrate how far undersized 7500 watts is for my needs, I turned the unit on and left the garage door closed and waited to see how long it would take for the garage to heat up. After two hours the snow finally fell off the two cars. 24 hours later the snow that fell off the cars had not yet melted! There wasn't really a huge amount of snow to melt, and the outdoor temperature during this test was not all that cold (about 25 degrees), so even leaving the unit on for extended periods does very little to heat the garage.

Overall, the unit is as advertised but could use some minor improvements. It is not well-suited for un-insulated garages, but that is not a fault of the unit itself.

Honest reviews on Ceiling-Mount Industrial Electric Heater - 7500 Watt, 31.3 Amp

The physical size of this heater is in no way proportional to the amount of heat it produces. Our garage is 18' x 36' with 13' ceilings. There is insulation, but no sheet-rock covering the framing. The unit is hung in a corner, diagonally, 11' high, and 1' from the side walls. It will raise the temperature in the back half of the structure about 10 degrees in 30 minutes. The fan pushes the air out of the corner strong enough that one can feel the air-flow 30' away. Our goal was to avoid installing ducted (ergo expensive) heat with interior and exterior units, yet find a way to take the sting out of the air to the point we could work/play in the structure. If we plan ahead a couple of hours, we can turn the heater on and come back to a comfortable environment. Goal reached and customers satisfied! The only things missing are a digital thermostat and a remote control, the latter of which would prevent me from having to climb a ladder to make an adjustment. I hesitate to mention that because this product is a great value.

Cheap Black & Decker Infrawave Oven

Customer Ratings:

I had a toaster oven that died so I began the typical online research trying to find the best bang for the buck.

I realize that online reviews are always subjective since you cannot ascertain the true ratio of "good to bad" experiences among the entire spectrum of customers, but only among those who are moved to write about it.

However, I noticed in reading reviews that experienced owners looking to replace older infrared-assisted ovens were disappointed to find that fewer and fewer companies offer them any longer to the consumer electronics market. Whereas on the commercial market, such as the restaurant industry, the technology has been used in larger Infrared ovens for many years.

The benefits claimed by the owners in using this technology for toaster ovens prompted me to find one if I could. I felt skeptical when I learned that "Black and Decker" was the original designer/manufacturer of the only surviving product line I found, not being a real B&D fan, myself.

Some of this product line is sold bearing the B&D badge but the same models may instead wear the "Applica" name. "Applica Consumer Products" bought the enire InfraWave line, back in 1998.

Anyway after contacting Applica by email and again by phone, I was convinced of the integrity of the unit and Applica's support. So I bought the FC300 unit for my wife and also the smaller FC150 for my mother, as Christmas gifts. I remain impressed with this oven to say the least.

The FC300 is larger than the FC150. After I saw the differences in size between the two units, I was glad I ordered the larger one for my wife. The smaller one is good for one person or "typical" toaster-oven duties, but if you use it for as many things as we do, the extra size is very nice.

The unit comes with a video CD that lets you watch various dishes being prepared, covering all aspects of use in step-by-step fashion. It has a paper manual as well, but the video is fast, helpful, and thorough.

The unit cooks faster than simple convection alone and offers automatic cooking time conversion. For example, you can input the conventional oven cooking instructions "verbatim" from the side panel of a frozen dinner, (time and temperature). If you select "convert", the InfraWave processor can automatically "shorten it" to cook via infrared as appropriate. Manual adjustment or intervention during a cooking cycle is also maintained as an option and easily done on the fly should you require some variation in order to meet your taste.

Surprises include the oven's abilities to cook foods to perfection that you might normally prefer to cook using another device. Chicken can be tender and juicy inside while browning the skin golden and crispy. Steaks can be broiled with excellent flavor and texture, (yes, I know the BBQ grill reigns supreme but try it on a rainy day and you will be pleasantly surprised).

Pre-heating is a thing of the past. You never do that anymore because this baby jumps right to work on frozen foods without delay. Frozen pizza is a no-brainer and the control panel has its own dedicated "pizza" button as well as individual buttons for other popular foods typically cooked in an oven.

You will be impressed with how this unit can just about replace your conventional oven for any foods that will fit inside it. The energy savings for using this unit as opposed to the full-sized oven are real, but even more valuable to us is the way the food is cooked faster and tastes better even with leftovers, (which won't taste like leftovers).

I believe that you can purchase one of these with confidence. So far it has been a great addition to our cooking apppliance arsenol. We've found it to be MUCH more than just a toaster oven!

I've owned 2 infrawaves: first the small one and the I got the large one with rotisserie. I absolutely love it! I cook everything in it! In fact since I remodeled my kitchen 5yrs ago the regular oven has only been used 4 or 5 times. We toast, reheat, make frozen pizza (the best you can make at home) and broil chicken, fish and meat. I've broiled frozen steaks many times and the results are simply remarkable. For cooking I mainly use "Convert": this feature let's you enter the traditional oven time and temperature as well as the type of food you are cooking, then you press Convert and voila! It gives you your new (and shorter) cooking time. Frozen pizza is cooked from top and bottom at the same time. Toast is ready incredibly fast. Everything you cook will be perfect. Get it while you can, you will never regret it.

We bought this oven a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. It actually toasts much faster than others on the market these days. We used it EVERYDAY. If not for toasting for warming leftovers. We have even had company ask where we got it so they could get one.......

So now 2 years later it is dead. At first the top coils stopped working then it sparked and died.

At this price point 2 years is not a long time! We won't get another one but we did love it!

Excellent product. This is our 2nd purchse of one of these ovens. The first one was smaller. It has lasted 7 years and still going strong, but my husband wanted a larger model (he does all of the cooking). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one of these ovens. We use it every single day.

I bought one of these 2 or 3 years ago when I needed something a little bit bigger than my toaster oven. I absolutely love it. I use it every day and rarely turn on the regular oven. I use it for nachos, hot wings, toast, pretty much everything. I was dubious about baking a cake but it did a great job. It's big enough for an 8 x 8 baking dish to fit comfortably. A 10" pizza fits. A 12" pizza does not.

I actually didn't mind the different heater they sent so I just kept it. Note it does NOT have a humidifier if that's what you were focusing on.

Heater works great, the only-fan feature not as well... it really doesn't blow much air.

Reviews of Duraflame Ultra-Premium Gold 4-Pack 7LB Firelogs

Customer Ratings:

I purchased these although there were a few poor reviews. I had been using the standard Duraflame logs. My opinion is the Gold logs burn much brighter and hotter. If the fire dies down a quick poke in the middle of the log will bring about large flames. I have found the burn time to be accurate. If you make fires as much as we do and want a more realistic burn, I would 100% recommend these.

PS, I have a sensitive nose and did not notice much of any fuel smell. I do keep a close by window slightly propped just for fresh air.

Ive been using these logs for the past month and have been really impressed. They burn well and have all lasted 4+ hours.

Given one is the maximum for a fire with this product, the big ones are the only ones to make it worth openign the flue (smaller ones allow let cold air in)

These work to heat the entire rec room and beyond.

I like the appearance. I usually replace such units within 5 years due to changes in the fire from buildups. The unit burns very cleanly with no odors. It sits in the living room next to my desk, yet projects radiant warmth across the room 15 feet away to the easy chair. It makes the living area most comfortable with 100% efficiency. An added bonus is that natural gas flames make moisture, so the colder it gets outside making drier outside air, the moisture produced by combustion of hydrogen and oxygen makes more water, so a humidifier is unnecessary.

After having wrong unit sent, returned item at my own expense to Amazon. Several days later they sent the correct item by FedEx. Other than the first shipped incorrect item, the unit is excellent. I replaced an 18,000 btuh natural gas unit with this 10,000 btuh unit, as the larger unit never ran longer than 15 minutes at a time, which indicates it was too large. The heater works the same as the old unit using its built-in thermostat.

I installed this in a laundry room that was fairly well vented at 8400'. It works perfectly. Cheap heat. I think I'd try it in a bathroom, but not a bedroom, as long as I had a CO alarm. Works great!

My KOZY vent free heater replaced a similar larger model of different make that has heated my enclosed front porch for nearly 18 years. This model works as well trouble free,and reliable. This is now my 4th vent free space heater tha heats front and rear enclosed porches in Chicago with excellent results.

You may not want to purchase this heater. If you do I hope you are handy with tools or know a good pipefitter (plumber).

Part of the installation instructions indicate that all the fittings need to be checked for leaks. Mine had several. One fitting that raised a large bubble indicating a slow leak was to the rear of the unit and impossible to reach with a wrench let alone a wrench and a backup wrench. Paying a pro to disassemble everything and put it back together so it doesn't leak could prove to be more than the cost of the unit.

The instructions indicate that things may loosen up in shipment and boy was a true statement. The two fasteners that attach the pilot light assembly apparently were so loose that they fell out of inner frame work, out of the unit and out of the factory box it was packaged in and out of the external shipping box. The pilot light assembly was flopping around inside nowhere near where it should have been. I'm surprised the tubing didn't crack from the constant flexing if must have endured in shipment.

Installation calls for putting in a drip tube a minimum of three inches from the the gas input line. There will be no problem here for a wall installation but if plan to use the optional floor mount legs they do not allow enough clearance to put one in.

Finally when disposing of the shipping boxes I found a copy of a letter from a gentleman in California returning the unit. Had I known I was buying returned goods, I probably would have not purchased this product

p.s. Before you elect to use corrugated stainless steel tubing on this or any other heating device

please Google CSST and read about the potential lightning danger.

Customer Ratings:

DO NOT PURCHASE! That is do not purchase anything from Klimaire and/or Heatandcool.com. They are scam artists out to take your money. their equipment is sub-par and their customer support would rather insult you and your intelligence than address their equipment issues.

I have never dealt with a company as bad as this one before in my life and has resulted in me having to retain an attorney.

they are so bad I found a website dedicated to them www.klimairesucks.com and a BBB rating of "F"
