Reviews of 2 in 1 Bladeless Hot & Cool Fan Heater with LCD Display

Customer Ratings:

I have owned many fans in my time, and this one is the best. I was looking at Dyson bladeless fans and, although I was interested in the technology, they seemed to be very over priced. When I saw this fan using similar technology at a much better price, I thought I'd order it and give it a try. I am completely satisfied with the results; it's relatively quiet, and even so the air flow is powerful and spreads the moving air much wider than my old bladed fan ever did.

Got 6 months of use at just keeping a well insulated garage above freezing. Did the job easily, but the fan motor seized 2 months after the 1yr warranty expired. Soleus said "sorry". You cannot by a replacement motor in the U.S.A. Only in CHINA! Just bought a KING heater. 5yr warranty and made in AMERICA. You get what you pay for!

Was easy to install. Had taken more time to run a 30 amp service to the garage. I know that I was pushing its capabilities to the max, but was pleased. The garage is 640 square foot with 10 foot ceilings well insulated. It takes about 1 1/2 to heat up to 65-68 with temps outside of 35 deg. The fan is small, pushes air about 6 to 8 feet down and out from heater. there are some cooler parts of garage but none to complain about. Did a thermal test and with fan running the heating element reaches near 230 Deg. I wish it had a thermostat instead of having to turn unit off when it gets to warm. But still cheapest way to go without going into an industrial unit.

I have added a 220 in-line thermostat two weeks after install and works as intended. Turns on and off by itself. So now we have set it and forget it. Had gotten the first electric bill even though it was not as cold as last year so far. The good news is that the bill had taken a hit of maybe eleven dollars. Really hard to say.

Nice compact unit and easy to mount, however, it does require some knowledge about wiring and the installation instructions are of no help. They are more of a legal document for the company's protection instead of providing any actual assistance with installation. The wiring diagram shows that the unit uses a 10 gauge wire, but never indicates if it is a 10-2 or 10-3. The diagram shows the unit connection with a Load, Neutral and Ground for a 220 volt circuit and never mentions using a double pole breaker with two Load wires on a 110. The unit is a single phase. My guess is that this was written for use in the European market. This is sold through DIY centers so you would think they aould have taken a little more care in writing the installation instructions. I can see a lot of weekend warriors returning this unit due to the confusion caused by the wiring instructions and once they realize they have to run a 30 amp circuit with a quick disconnect out to the garage. I had an electrician quote just running the wiring ( 45 feet ) and he quoted $550. Considering the unit costs under $200, may not be what most people are expecting. If you are going to spend this much, might as well go to one of the larger units.

Once again Amazon shipped promptly and I recieved the heater in good condition. After installing the heater (with a licensed electricial) the heater ran for about 4 months until the fan motor quit. I called SolerusAir service for instructions and they asked to have it shipped back to them for sercvice which would have cost over 50% of the original price of the heater. I asked for them to ship me a fan motor at my expense and I will install it they refused. I also asked if they had a thermostate for this heater and they said no. Two weeks later Menards posed an ad for this same manufacturer and size heater "with" a thermostate. Can't by a fan motor for this unit and also can't use the heater after 4 months.

Winter only happens once a year and is separated by many months that dull the memories of the bad heaters you bought in winters past. For the winter season of 2010/2011, I purchased two different Optimus heaters for my house, the H-7328 and the H-7318.

I bought both units at the same time in October, so they sat in their unopened boxes well past the time you could return them. When winter came I set my brand new heaters up. The 7318 rattled so bad I could barely hear myself think. And within days the 7328 stopped oscillating and started to smell like burnt wiring. By February neither unit functioned, both thermostats apparently didn't work anymore so the unit that would actually provide heat would stay on forever, even if the unit fell face down on the carpet. YIKES, talk about dangerous.

So in March when I went to throw these units in the garage, on top of the pile of totally useless things I have bought in years past, I noticed something odd. I reached down and dug out three old heaters from the year before. Apparently I bought an Optimus H-5280, an H-3013 and an H-5230.

So in two years I have purchased no less than five Optimus heaters of which only one still works as advertised, which only goes to prove one thing, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT, for ever buying an Optimus product. If they don't fail to work at all, then they stand a good chance of burning you alive while you sleep.

There seems to be poor thought in engineering all electric heaters. This one is in line with all the others, it has its good and bad points. Best not to be real interested in functions other than heat, at which this one is ok.

Pros: good heat output, oscillates, digital display, nice looking, 3 yr. warrenty, oscillation stops and starts

with the operation of the thermostat

Cons: hi and low heat are just that, heat, they aren't connected to the thermostat, turn it on and will run

forever I guess.

to use the thermostat you must get to auto and to do that you must touch either the up or down buttons and

presto you get auto. just set the desired temp and is shuts on and off like you would think a heater should.

don't expect even temp, it gets 2 degrees over set temp to shut off and 1 degree under set temp to turn back

on, that 3 degree swing is pretty noticable but most heaters are this way. I almost forgot, the auto only

functions with high heat, no choice there so if you want low heat you have no thermostat control

don't pick it up and move it or it resets itself to high heat, and the thermostat goes to 75, you will have

to go through the whole procedure to set another temp and get back to auto, this is a function of the tip

over switch I guess.

you have to lean way over to read the display, bad angle, to small, or just bad lighting, led's would be

better choice

who, now really, needs to have a remote control for a space heater

Seems to be a lot of cons but all heaters are pretty much the same in function. Doing it over I would get the

cheapest heater with a rotary switch and a rotary thermostat. Forget the digital display and remote control. Also

forget those $400.oo infrared heaters with nice wood cabinets. Physics is physics and E=ir still applies no matter

the price. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what generates the heat. put a fan behind 15 100watt light bulbs

and you get the same amount of heat. This heater does what it was designed to do pretty well, but I think I could probably make one the way I would like it to function, just would cost to much to do.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-7318 Portable 17-Inch Oscillating Tower Heater

I love this heater! I've gone through several electric heaters that do not warm up a room fast enough. I have had this heater for over 2 years now and it finally broke. The caution light turns on and then it doesn't do anything. We think it may be the thermal fuse so we might head to Radio Shack and fix it ourselves. Anyway, this heater has traveled with me from 3 different houses and it lasted throughout. I also love the remote that comes with it. The oscillating feature was great and I loved how it turned on and heated up quickly. The digital temperature was easy to read and it turned off when the room would be at that temperature. Small heater with a lot of power! Definitely recommend this product. Just hope it doesn't break!

My windows can't handle a window air conditioner without major hassles. Great to have a solution I can use for the odd week of too hot weather then easily put away again. Nice to have the option of cooling the bedroom area at night and the wife's home office during the day. I like the ARC-143MX. The 3M filter instead of the carbon one (ARC-14S) means more air flow but no odor removal. Pick the model on that difference. Cools my 13x13 bedroom down from 81 to 72F in 30 minutes. Outside temperature usually dropping from 87 to 80 at the same time. I appreciate not having to dump out water! Casters roll easily. Not designed to go upstairs at night and downstairs every morning. Handles are just indentations on the sides of the shell: wouldn't take much to drop and lack of anything to grip makes two person carry by handles an iffy thing to do. Shell does not handle torque stress well. Compressor noise is a little too much for me to sleep next to but quiet enough to hold a conversation while standing around the ARC-143MX. The window kit is plain PVC and screws might strip out: it needed some caulk and stick-on foam strips to not let in outside air and bugs. Would be better if window kit was designed so intake and exhaust could be spaced as far apart as the width of the window opening instead of fixed at a few inches apart. Remote easier to use than front-facing controls on unit because unit display awkward to read unless kneeling. Unit is tall enough that the cold air is mixing in the upper part of the room and not getting trapped by the bed or couch. Power cord length is good but I can see where longer would come in handy. For a product in this price range, the timer should be upgraded to do daily scheduled on and off timings.

I like the ARC-143MX and hope the next model gets a few tweaks.

It works really well! The only problems with it deal with the extensions.

1) Measure the distance from your window and make sure the hoses will reach! We're using this for our basement and the windows are really high up! We had to put it on pieces of wood about a foot in the air. But the windows are so high that the hose barely reach, they're lightly hanging on...

2) Emptying the dehumidifier is ridiculous! It is a little plug in the back! I would be much easier if it was a bucket you could take out from the front but noooo! You have to put a small bowl or deep plate underneath it to catch the water as it dribbles out. While it says "can pump 101(ish) pints/day" is does not HOLD that much. It only holds about 2 cups! (4 pints!) Such a disappointment. If you want to drain it with a hose, you have to buy a condensate pump which is another $50-100! The last problem, is because of the height issue, every time we need to empty it, we have to detach the hoses and turn it around! This was a HORRIBLE design!

All in all, if you want it for cooling or a fan, it's AWESOME! If you want it for dehumidifying, look elsewhere.

I really like the product and it cools very well. I purchased 2 to cool a kitchen with lots of refrigeration equipment. I was not able to use the window part because I had to drill through the wall for my venting. Had a sheetmetal shop find me some 5" dryer type vents one with a flap and one with out. It was complicated to get it all set up. The one real downfall I have with it is that that they have to stand out from the wall about 18" to the back of the units. It takes up far more floor space than I was expecting. I'm sure that a more clever installer could come up with a way to make the area more compact.

Honest reviews on Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with 3M

If you want cool, then this is a great unit.

However, to drain the machine, there is no attachment , so a dish-like tray needs to be underneath .The dish has to be squeezed in under the unit. It can't be too deep, or it will overflow and wet the rug or floor. VERY POOR DESIGN REGARDING THE DRAIN PORT.

THEY NEED TO DESIGN IT HIGHER AND ADD AN ACCESSORY LIKE A DEEP TRAY WITH A LIP THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE DRAIN PORT.

only 4 stars because of the port/drainage design.

ps. I received a reply from the company today after writing this review and they advised attaching a 5/8" silicone hose to the drain port to make things easier. LOL LOL

This unit is heavy. I had expected that a unit rated at 14,000 BYU would be a super cooler. Not so much. For the size, it is unable to cope with temps over 90 degrees. I would recommend a smaller unit with a better fan and a continuous operation function.

I bought 3 of these units at $500 each. 2 of them ceased working within a week. No help from the help line. OK, try to pack them back up again and lug them back to the store, or ship them. The third one does come on, but the tiny water reservoir fills immediately and is difficult and time-consuming to empty.

this is a very badly designed and thought-out product. I wish I'd never laid eyes on it. I've never been so disgusted with anything I've bought ever. Save yourself. Do not even consider this item. It does not work.

I used to do Air conditioning and Heating for a living so I know very well what I am talking about. For many years now I have a different career. I recently bought a house that was missing its central heat and AC air unit. My mom intending to be sweet and wanting to help out bought me a moving in gift which is this DeLonghi PACN130HPE. She forgets I am a expert in AC as I lived out of state while in that career.

Upon opening the box I immediately became suspicious of its advertised cooling capacities. I instantly knew that in order for it to accomplish its claims, it would have to have two ventilation hoses to an outside window. 1 a fresh air intake hose. And 2 a heat exhaust hose. But it only came with the capacity to handle one hose only which is the heat exhaust hose.

Let me explain Air conditioning principles of operation. There are two primary components of moving heat from the inside of a building to the outside of a building so you are left with a cool interior. One is an evaporator and the other is a condenser.

The evaporator is made cold by the incoming Freon/refrigerant. Warm humid interior air is drawn into the evaporator where it becomes cold and dryer and is then blown out the other/exhaust side of the evaporator as cool air. The heat and moisture/humidity that had been in the incoming air is removed and transferred into the refrigerant as the now cool dry air leaves the exhaust side of the evaporator and is blown back into the room for your enjoyment.

Now the refrigerant has picked up the heat and humidity and must take it somewhere to dump the heat as it becomes cool again so it can continue in its continuous circle loop endlessly. Always picking up heat, moving it, dumping it and coming back to the front of the loop to do it all over again as long as a AC unit is running.

Now comes the condenser. The condenser receives this hot refrigerant as air is blown thru the condenser. Outside air of maybe a 100 degrees enters the condenser and picks up the heat from the refrigerant and is blown back to the outside much hotter than it entered. Around 120 degrees. NOTE: The outside heat and humidity and moisture do go through the condenser but never actually enters the interior of your room in a normal AC unit.

Your interior air is constantly being recycled inside the room thru the evaporator becoming cooler and dryer. Unfortunately ALL homes leak. They let in moisture and heat so you have a constant daily battle of throwing them back outside where it leaked in from. It would be sweet if homes did not leak as you could run your AC for a couple of days and then be good for the rest of the year not needing any more AC. But that is not the case. AC units merely keep up with the rate of leak in so you can stay 15-30 degrees ahead of the game.

You probably want your interior room temperature to stay in the vicinity of 70-80 degrees. So you never want hot humid outside air of 100 degrees entering your home or you might as well just open all your windows.

Here is the problem with DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC units. They do not use outside air to blow through the condenser to pick up the heat from the refrigerant and then take the heat outside to dump it. It uses your interior air to carry the heat outside and dump it. In order for your interior air to be exhausted outside with the heat, air must be entering your home and room from another area to be replacing what is being blown outside. You cannot be continuously removing air from a container unless somewhere else you're letting air back into the container.

So while it is using your inside room air to carry the heat outside, somewhere else in your home hot humid air is re-entering your home to compensate for the air that is constantly being thrown out. Now nearly as fast as your dumping the heat and humidity outside away from you, in another area of the home hot moist air is being sucked back into the house almost as fast as your dumping it out of the house.

While that one room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in is feeling cooler, the other areas of your home are feeling warmer as hot moist air is literally being sucked in at an equal rate that is being thrown out of the one room with the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit.

So the evaporator is blowing 13,000 BTU's of cool into the room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in, but the outside air being sucked into the house is immediately bringing 5,000 BTU's of heat and moist air back in at the same time. That is a HUGE loss that must be applied against the cool claims to determine the real gain your left with.

DeLonghi PACN130HPE does not tell you about the simultaneous losses but only about the claimed gains which are not even close to being accurate by the time you figure in all the other secret factors they don't want you to know about.

I actually tested this by replacing the DeLonghi PACN130HPE with some widow units I had to see what the real gains were. My 5,000 BTU window AC unit did not cool the room as much as the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU's claimed did. But it did dry the room better as it was not sucking in wet moist air.

However when I placed my 8,000 BTU window unit in the room, it did deliver the same amount of cooling as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did, but still I gained the advantage from my window unit that the humidity level dropped much lower so it still felt even much better.

While the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did cool the room as much as my 8,000 BTU window unit did, it could not remove nearly as much humidity because the DeLonghi PACN130HPE is always sucking in wet moist air continuously. My window units did not do that. Besides my 8,000 BTU unit cooling the room exactly as much as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit, I was much further ahead of the game by the fact the room was dry and not humid/muggy as had the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had made it.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did surprisingly little to remove the humidity from the room because it was constantly replacing the humidity through the incoming air. Its gains were constantly being eroded away by the constant losses.

Removing humidity from the room and removing it from the air is not the same things. The outside air may have a 80% humidity level. That is very sticky and muggy. You want the inside air below a 30% humidity level to feel very comfortable with. The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did remove humidity from the air but did not remove it from the room because the moisture being removed the air was being replaced at a equivalent level by in incoming air the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had to suck back into the room as it used room air to carry the heat and humidity it captured back outside. So as fast as it threw humidity outside it was sucking it back into the home at the same rate so there never was a drop in the room humidity level.

Be aware of what they won't tell you.

Another fact I did not like about the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it took up significant floor space in my room making it look and feel even more crowded. I would much rather have a window unit that uses 70% less electricity than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE as it does so much better at making the room more comfortable and humid free. My 8,000 BTU window unit for $300did a better job than DeLonghi PACN130HPE for $500as it uses 70% less electricity.

The advantage of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it easily rolled around from room to room and in 60 seconds could be connected to virtually any window for quick temporary very inefficient cooling. I will say inefficient cooling is still much better than no cooling. I almost kept the DeLonghi PACN130HPE because I have another mobile home that needs remodeling and the DeLonghi PACN130HPE would be super quick and easy to set up in whatever room I happened to be working in that particular day, and then move it to another room the next day. My 8,000 BTU window unit takes 5 minutes to set up in any particular room. It weighs 40 pounds and does not roll around so I have to carry it from window to window. So what?

The advantages of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE were not large enough to justify keeping it for short term temporary cooling so I took it back to Lowes and traded it in for a 24,000 BTU window unit that really kicks ass for the same exact money. My 24,000 BTU window unit gives me 300% more cooling than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE does.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did have a good digital thermostat that held the room temp even without much fluctuation. It was attractive looking for what it was, a floor space user upper.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE was not a total flop, but it was a far cry from what they claim and advertise it to be. Matter of fact, it was so far from the truth that I call it a gimmick and fake AC unit. Hope this helps you.

The room stays warm and even with the temp outside at 80 the room never get lower than 75... It's going back to the store for a window unit.

(Update) Keep in mind this is a 14,000 Btu unit.... I just replaced it with a 12,000 BTU window AC and the room temp difference is huge. I wish this unit had worked.. It seems like a great idea... But it needs a redesign.

New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have a medium open living/dining area with high ceilings. I, like most wanted something to help with the heating costs. This machine worked well during the day when I had it running on high with the fireplace going and would warm the room to 70-71 degrees. At night, I put the central gas heat on 64, turned off the fireplace and left the Edenpure running on high. When I woke up, the room was 64, just as I had set the thermostat on the central heat. So needless to say, it did not work at all as the main heat was kicking on. I also do not like the fact that there is no digital thermostat but just several lines to indicate the level of heat and there is no timer. I actually have ordered another similar unit from Home Depot that has both of these features, has two more additional heating elements and is supposed to heat up a 1500 sq foot room and only cost $259 with free shipping. And of course the added bonus of being able to return it directly to the local store if I do not like it. This Edenpure I purchased is rated to heat 1000 sq feet. So, I personally cannot recommend this product.

Consumer Reports, February 10, 2010:

Heating Claims Don't Add Up

Manufacturers of electric space heaters want you to believe that using one of their devices will lower your heating bill. Lowering your home's thermostat(s) and using your main heating system less in tandem with a space heater--called zone heating--will cut your utility bill. (Every degree you lower the thermostat(s) can save you about 2 percent on your heating bill.) But keep in mind that based on current national average prices and adjusting for the energy losses due to burning a fuel, heating with electricity is about two and a half times more expensive than heating with gas, the most common heating fuel in this country.

EdenPure suggests that "you can turn the heat down in your house as low as 50°F, yet the room you are in will be warm and comfortable. When you move to another room, the EdenPure goes with you. Its wheels make relocation a snap." That scenario assumes that you have to heat only a single room to heat at a time or that you own multiple EdenPure space heaters; that once you're in a room you stay put and don't move around the house; and that you're willing to keep the rest of your home at a chilly 50°F. Lowering the thermostat(s) by 3°F would likely result in minimal discomfort for you and your family, but are you willing to keep your home at 50°F?

...Its design essentially negates the radiant-heating effect, so it operates more like a typical fan-forced convection heater. While a fan can help mix the room air, there is typically some temperature variation, with cooler air near the floor and warmer air near the ceiling.

Humidity Information Seems All Wet

EdenPure says its heaters "protects the humidity level and air quality important to breathing comfort and personal health," and also notes that "Heat from the copper tubing rides the humidity in the room and provides moist, soft heat--ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall--without reducing oxygen or humidity."

Simply put, when you heat a room with any space heater and don't also have an additional source of humidity, say a humidifier, the total moisture in the air in that space will stays the same but the relative humidity will go down, not up. That's true for every space heater we've tested...

We needed a heater for our fifth wheel and I prefer products made in the USA (especially electric products), so after reviewing many heaters decided on the Edenpure. It really does the job!

Honest reviews on New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000

Years ago,I purchased two Edenpure, very efficient and safe,model Gen 3 heaters. One of the heaters was a refurbished model. Both heaters worked great, until the refurbished heater stopped producing heat. I called the company, being that a refurbished hearter did not carry a regular warranty, I could not get help..not even a timely answer from the on line trouble shooting expert. It was the Christmas vacation week for my grandchildren who were coming to stay with me in upstate NY., and without two heaters, my home is really cold. After a long wait for the online company representative to get back to me, only for him to write back stating that he lost my e-mail and what was my heater problem. I wrote him back, but again never recieved answered, and with the nearest repair shop for these heaters hundreds of miles away from my home, I went to BJ's store to see what brands of heaters they had available. To my surprise BJ's had 1 Edenpure US1000, which I purchased. Edenpure has made some changes;the US1000 heater uses three bulbs instead of the 5 bulbs as in the original heaters and I believe runs a bit cooler, not giving the wide spectrum of heat output as the older models did. The Edenpure is a safe and attractive looking heater, and I feel very comfortable when my grndchildren are at my home, knowing that they will not be harmed by any heating elements.

I bought 2! The heater works very well. We run it in the room where our TV and thermostat are located. It raises the temperature to around 72 degrees, which keeps the heat from coming on. As long as we stay in that room, it's nice. The rest of the 1st floor of the house gets very cold unless we run the second heater in another room. These are idea for trailers or small homes. If you have a bigger house you may want to buy a couple of them but, would you really be saving any money then???.

Tractor Supply has this model with the pedestal legs for $899. At TSC this model is called the "Magnolia". We have used the stove for several months now and here are a few observations:

1. It does put out a LOT of heat. Make sure the area you put it is large.

2. The air wash feature on the glass functions beautifully unless the fire is fully damped and then the corners get a bit dirty.

3. The blower on the back is loud. The variable speed function works poorly. It does push hot air nicely when the stove is heated.

4. The damper rod is a pull out vs a left/right slide making it difficult to "dial in" the damper where it works best.

5. The fire board in the top inside of the stove that redirects gasses is fragile. My wife cracked it in half the first week we had the stove.

6. It seems like 6 hours is about the best reasonable burn time we have gotten unless it is packed with wood and fully damped. (This is not reccomended)

7. The door latch and hinge hardware seems a bit weak. I will probably buy a few spares so I can have them when I need them.

8. I don't entirely understand the new wood stove science, but it seems like the firebox has to be pretty hot before there is any visible secondary burn of exaust gasses. (this can be viewed by fire coming from the little holes in the tubes that line the top of the firebox as spent gasses are reheated to burn)

9. Rear corner clearance from the wall for a corner of the room installation was 10 1/2 in. without any secondary protection. I followed that guidance with my install. When a decent fire is going the wall is so hot that I cant hold my hand against it for more than about a second. It's HOT!

10. FYI this stove calls for 26 in. of hearth in front of the stove. Most call for only 18 in. What this means to you is that to "pass code" for the building inspector you will need a bigger hearth. If you are installing the stove in the middle of the wall there are several modular DIY products that can accomplish this effectively and cheaply. HOWEVER if you are installing this in the corner you will be looking at a custom made hearth pad. I had 3 quotes with the cheapest one being $780. I ended up using 3 layers of Durarock to reach the appropriate R value on the floor and then finished it with tile. It was a lot of work but it only set me back $280 in materials.

We bought the stove for regular use to heat our 2600 sq. ft cape cod. In some ways I wish we had purchased a stove with more quality features and higher efficiency. This model only is rated at 68 to 73%. Many non catalytic stoves nowadays are 80% 90%. That's a lot of wood savings! Overall, its not a Harmon or Jotul but it is a pretty good value I think.

We bought the model 3000, the next model larger than the 2500. The 2500 and 3000 stoves look pretty much alike.

The quality of the workmanship is not as good as we had hoped for a US manufacturer.

1) When we unpacked the stove, we noticed that firerope (sealing the door) was unravelling. That should have been fixed before it left the factory.

2) When attempting to install the trim that goes around the base of the unit, we found that one of the pieces was defective because it was not pre-drilled for the screws that are intended to hold it together. I had to drill out that piece myself in order to continue the installation.

3) The metal that the trim pieces are made of appears to be about as hard as the metal the self-tapping screws included are made of. This means that during installation of the trim, when you attempt to tap the pre-drilled holes with the screws, the screws will strip (see other reviews for the same problem). One of the screws did manage to catch in the metal of the trim, but the screw head broke off. Ugh! I had to GLUE the pieces together. I spent HOURS fighting the trim.

US Stove should pay attention to the reviews and fix the QC problems. Luckily, we purchased the stove through 123Greetings and their customer service is outstanding.

We would had given the stove four or maybe five stars, but the attention to quality is lacking, so three stars is fair.

The heat output seems to be good since it is pretty much heating our 6,000 sq ft house (partly, though, because we built the home to take advantage of wood heat).

The stove's door opening is smaller than it could be, making it more difficult to load than it should be.

As at least one other review states, the air-driven glass-cleaning design works well unless the air is damped way down. This is my experience with other stoves as well, though, so is a common issue.

We like the flat top for heating water or for cooking. This was one of the features we looked for.

The blower is noisy and REALLY weak. You can barely even feel the warm air coming out. We use a different fan that we have blowing over the top of the unit to increase the efficiency of heat transfer. Over the decades, we have had numerous other stoves and inserts with fans and this fan is by far the worst. We lump this issue with quality problems.

Next time we will probably try another brand simply because there are some very nice units out there with proven quality.

UPDATE: 2/8/2013.

We discovered another design flaw in the unit. The firebox has an cast iron plug that can be lifted out to allow you to clean out the ashes. You simply lift the plug then brush the ashes into the hole. The ashes drop down into the drawer below. The PROBLEM with this is that the clean-out hole is near the left-hand side of the drawer. Every time we clean out the ash, they spill out over the side of the drawer into the unit below. They could easily have avoided this issue by CENTERING the clean-out hole over the drawer. We can't figure out WHY they would make the hole near the SIDE of the drawer instead of in the center.

The stove is generally performing fairly well, over all, with respect to staying together while burning North Idaho Energy Logs (which are MUCH better than regular firewood since they burn hotter and longer).

The front door did become stuck at one point due to the expansion of the metal. We had to pry it open with a tool and then use a grinder to remove some metal near the latch in order to get the door to open and close properly. This was another small quality issue, it looks like. We think this problem was a result of the extreme heat generated by the North Idaho Energy Logs. Previously, we were burning regular oak and maple firewood, but recently switched entirely to the Energy Logs and then experienced the door issue. The Energy Logs burn substantially hotter than regular firewood and likely caused unusual expansion of the metal, resulting in the misalignment.

We bought this model at Lowe's (which matched a lower price we found elsewhere) and have been extremely happy with it. It heats our 1700-foot house very efficiently. We find we don't need to use the blower at this time, but were glad it was included in case we do. We found the construction was also fine no problem like the other reviewer noted on the different model. We shopped around for a good price with good quality and thus far we have been extremely satisfied. We plan on getting a stovepipe thermometer to further increase efficiency.

Amazon did a great job with the shipping. Not to happy with the accounting department at Amazon but that's another story. Stove is great! Heats the entire 3000 sq. foot house with ease. Solid construction, easy to assemble, and very styish wood stove. Wish it would have come with a grate for the wood inside and not have to buy one seperate, but that's no big deal. Have no complaints.....yet.

The overall quality of my experience with both a pellet and then a wood stove from US Stove is that they are simply poorly made and that the company makes a great deal of money off of the price of their parts. And you have to watch to make sure that the stove you order hasn't been "gobbled up" by the giant that calls itself "US Stove". They may make stoves but I got burned in a different way than expected. Heck, robbed is more like it.

Wall mount kit made installation quick and easy. I used a waterproof outdoor extension cord and wrapped the plug joint with a freezer bag and duct tape to keep it dry. Used all last winter in all sorts of bad weather and never had a problem. A bit spendy, but you generally get what you pay for.

I needed a heater for my 30`x42` Workshop. In this shop, the ceiling is 16ft high at the center span and about 14ft high at the walls, so there is a large volume of air to heat.

The shop has 1.5" thick insulation before the steel siding. That's it. I also have sidelights that let the sunlight in. They run along the top edge of the 42' side so there is no insulation along those panels (about a foot tall x 42' long x 2 sides).

This is a great heater. You simply plug it into propane and an electrical outlet (it has a 3 prong 120VAC plug). There is no on-off switch so once its plugged in the fan and ignitor runs constantly, making a fan whooshing and then light buzzing sound. Turn on the gas at the tank, then push and hold the startup button the propane begins to flow and it sounds more like a small jet engine (not unbearable or difficult to talk over from 10 feet away, but the wooshing sound changes to a deep throaty sound).

Low is the 50,000 or so setting on a red arrow dial. High gives you the full 85k. The dial is a quarter turn dial, and in-between settings do work also.

In my shop its hard to work unless its about 40 °F. I wear three sweatshirts and sweatpants, plus a stocking cap. The heater can get my shop from 30°F to 40°F in about 30 minutes on the low setting. Getting it up into the mid 40s takes about the same amount of time above and beyond the first 30 min (again on low setting). The high setting works noticably faster. After that I usually turn it off because with the stocking cap and three layers, it's bearable and easier to work.

When its colder than about 25°F outside I will often restart the heater if working for more than a couple hours.

A 5 gallon BBQ tank will last 3-5 hours and a 7 gallon RV tank will last 5-10 hrs depending on my usage.

Upon the first few uses I did notice a small leak in one of the factory tightened/sealed fittings near the regulator. The owner's manual clearly states to check all connections with a bubble solution (soapy water) but I didn't actually "had to" do that. I should have because I had a small leak. It was easily fixed with Teflon tape and has stayed sealed for years now.

NOTE: I do run a carbon monoxide detector in my shop, which is recommended since this heater burns the propane directly (no vent to outside air). However, running the propane heater for even a few hours does not trip the detector with my tall ceilings. Your "mileage" may vary so be safe.

I would definitely recommend this heater its been reliable for three years or more and it works effectively.

This fireplace is fabulous! It arrived sooner than promised and in perfect condition. All I did was remove it from the carton and plug it in. It is a very solid, "real" fireplace. The fire is amazing. I stare at it and can't get over how realistic it is. The heat is optional which is great in Hawaii. The remote serves all my needs. It's so wonderful to enjoy a beautiful fire in the evenings!

I needed additional heating in my bedroom and this fit in the existing old fireplace perfectly! I was so excited because it looked so nice and couldn't wait to plug it in and get it going. Then, as we attempted to use the remote, or find control panels on this Yosemite model, we resorted to the instruction manual. The manual did not even match the heater. The remote described in the manual was not the remote with the unit. The control panel described in the manual was not on the heater, nor was there any control panel. Then I found white tape over a certain section of the manual. I held it up to the window to be able to read through it and it was the name of a company in China that made the heater and the directions to the street and building where it was manufactured. Someone had tried to hide that! There was an on/off button, that's all. We couldn't even get it to turn on! I feel like this was the same deal as the individual that bought a Coach purse at a "deal" online, and it was a fake made in China. Except this heater was expensive, and I believe I was sent a fake! I repackaged this heavy thing and I have asked Amazon to reimburse me.

Reviews of Lasko 5568 34-Inch Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Customer Ratings:

I love Lasko heaters, my hubby had a 29" pedestal heater that lasted roughly 5 years before acting up, so once it decided to die on us I searched and found this one on Amazon.

We had looked in the store and actually bought a Delonghi because he didn't want to have to wait until we could get this one in the mail, but it sucked! It didn't show the current room temperature like the Lasko, only the set temperature so you couldn't tell what the actual room temperature was. It kept turning on and off as if it was trying to maintain that exact temperature instead of turning on 1 degree below the set temperature, then back off at 2 degrees above like this Lasko. And the plastic at the base was grinding and popping when I tried to use it in oscillation mode, which was really annoying.

So it went back and I ordered this one, and am I ever glad we did, I love it! It arrived slightly damaged, but that could have been a manufacturing error as the box was in perfect condition, one of the side panels was pushed in making it look funny, but I carefully fixed that problem even though it didn't affect it's operation any, just couldn't stand looking at it the way it looked. Now it looks and works perfect, we couldn't be happier! And I love the added feature they've started using, it turns on low every 10 minutes for about 10 seconds to circulate the air and recheck the air temperature, instead of relying on the stagnant air temperature which can give a false reading like the old Lasko pedestal heater we had. Don't get me wrong, I loved that one too, but this one is even better! I highly recommend this heater to anyone who's looking for a way to help save on electricity and just warm the room you're in.

I actaully have the model 5586 which looks exactly like this but the buttons are different. Bought for about the same price $65-67 at a harddware store.

It's great for a small (10ftx10ft) unheated room, but doesn't do much for a large converted attic room with no heating & almost no insulation (which is fine, the product clearly says it is intendend as SUPPLEMENTAL heat, not as your only source).

I like the remote control & that I can have it stationary blowing directly on me or moving to circulate the air. I also like that I can set it to click on when tempature drops below a certain temperature. I like that it shows me the temperature. Those features were (to me) worth spending a little more than the cheaper heaters. I've had it for 3 months and it has made a big difference for cold No. CA nights/early mornings (though our electric bill did go pretty high so I'm not sure we saved $ by running the gas/central heating less).

I find it quiet enough to sleep through, but my boyfriend claims that even on the low setting the noise of the air venting bothers him. But he's gotten used to it & can usually sleep through it now.

Other reviews of Lasko heaters had complained their cords got too hot. My cord gets warm, but not hot. I am not concerned by this.

In my opinion, the only flaw is that EVERY TIME you turn it on/off or adjust ANY setting (even to go up or down a few degrees), a fairly loud beep is emitted.

I called their customer service # and there is no way to turn this off.

This means I can not make any adjustment at night or even turn it on for a little while while my boyfriend is sleeping. This is a serious drawback to me, I'd give this product 5 stars if it wasn't for this.

The fan is not loud, but I wouldn't say it is quiet either. The annoying thing is that there is no option to leave the fan on continuously, so it cycles on and off with the heater. The problem with this is that you don't have a constant white noise to aid sleeping, but something that could make sleeping not so restful--or worse yet--wake you up. Also using the remote to change any settings creates a loud beep that your sleeping partner might not be so happy about.

I did notice that a smallish room heated up very fast. I'm guessing the large size helps with that.

The remote is sorta cheap, but does the job--with a lot of beeps.

I would say it is a good value at the price I paid: $49.

Last winter proved that it can get pretty cold in South Florida. I purchased this Lasko heater to supplement our central heating system. It worked like a dream, is light and very portable. It also came with a remote so one could make adjustments without getting up from a comfortable chair. I have told all my friends about how good this heater is.

Warms up a 30 degrees, 250 something square meter room in few minutes. Thermostat comes in handy. I love this. Also the front grilldoes not get hot. Unlike the smaller lasko model which burned my child's leg by accident. Great product. I hope it's durable enough like the smaller lasko heater.
