Review of 12 Volt Rubberized Electric Car Heater & Defroster with Fan

I bought two of these (although not from this seller) and while they work great for heat, after using them for a few days, 1 showed signs of heat in the 12v plug and was replaced with another. The second one was used rather sparingly knowing the first one showed signs of too much resistance (heat) and unfortunately it started to melt in the socket. While I was able to pull out the plastic plug and assorted melted strands, the heat affected the socket, and now it works rather poorly and will only support low current draw devices. Lucky that this plug is an aux plug, so we still have 1 that can support high amperage devices.

I invite the seller to plug one of these in their car... And report back!

I found this item and decided to buy it becuse my car heater fan quite working and thought this product would searve as a stop gap till I am able to replace the fan motor.

To my dissapointment it keeps blowing the fuse in the car.

Best Deals on 12 Volt Rubberized Electric Car Heater & Defroster with Fan

My heater has a problem in my car that may end up being a $700 fix so my mechanic suggested a little heater to help a bit. I bought one of these heaters for $10 in October 2012 and, while it doesn't heat the whole car, it did help keep me warm driving around town. Turn plug it in, set it on the seat next to me, and turned it on. If it was an especially cold night I would place it under a blanket to contain the heat, making sure not to block the intake.

Unfortunately the wiring in the cord and the fuse on the line aren't that great. I think I get about 3 months of use (6-12 hours/week) before they burn themselves out. The first one short circuited and burned up/melted the on/off and fan mechanism. The second one simply will not take a charge any more, died only last night (1/6/2013). If you can get it for very cheap (like I did) then it isn't really too bad.

Not as powerful as I hoped, it takes about 20 minutes to start warming a larger car. The stand it comes with broke the first time I tried to move it. Would work better with a compact car probably.

We love the popcorn popper. It works great. Some people have complained that it is difficult to clean. So far, I think it cleans up really easily as the kettle is very easy to take in and out of the machine. The one complaint I had was with the "starter kit" that included "25 bags." It was a little deceiving as you would think that "starter kit" would mean 25 bags of popcorn, no, it only comes with 25 paper popcorn bags, so you still need to order the popcorn when you order the machine. Other than that, the popcorn is as good as any movie theatre.

This little popcorn maker works exactly as described. Just add the oil, salt and corn and voila! However, there is not a temperature gauge for the kettle. I have used other kettle-based poppers that took a bit longer and had few unpopped kernels. This unit consistently had a high number of "old maids", and you have to be right on top of it to dump them before they burn.

My biggest complaint is the clean up. The instructions say to cook a cup of water in the kettle and use the heat and steam to wipe away the gunk that the oil leaves behind. I only wish it were that easy. Maybe you could do this using a razor blade scraper on the glass walls. But that would still leave all the black, gooey junk that collects in the kettle. I've removed the kettle and carefully used boiling water and scrubbers and even some dishwashing soap to clean the kettle. The only way it got completely clean was by disassembling the kettle, and doing so could mean the loss of some very tiny screws.

There is no way to get my hands into the kettle when it is inside the popper and completely clean it. Perhaps you can do better. I gave this unit to a small school with fair warning. Good luck!

Honest reviews on Great Northern Popcorn Red Foundation Antique Style Popcorn Popper

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my fiancee; its something she has talked about getting for our new house when we moved in together. I was a little disappointed with the packaging. First, it arrived on a day where my fiancee came home early from work. I was still semi-asleep, and when the doorbell rang, she answered. The package says what it is in big letters. So the surprise was a little ruined. But she was still happy about it. The other problem proved to be a bit worse. It appeared a forklift speared the side of the box. At first inspection, it looked like the packing materials took all of the damage. So I set up the popcorn maker on our bar when we had guests over. Then I put together the cart that goes under the popcorn maker. Whatever speared the box went through one of the spoke wheels and into the box on the cart. The wheel had a spoke torn from it, and the box was dented and warped pretty badly. Luckily the seller took VERY good care of me and had replacement parts shipped out FAST. Now the cart is all assembled with the popcorn machine on top of it, and it looks great in our theater/gameroom/bar. Oh yeah! We used it with popcorn that I bought from the same company, and it was geat!!! The 8oz kettle with the pack of popcorn/salt/oil from the same company makes a big mixing bowl of popcorn good or between 2 to 4 people.

We were excited to get this unit. We had previously had the 2.5oz Nostalgia popcorn cart and it was great. Well made and sturdy. We just wanted a bigger machine for our family. This works well and makes great popcorn. However, like another poster mentioned, the door on the front is terrible quality. Unlike the Nostalgia, the hinges are not properly attached to the machine. They slide up and down every time you open/close the door putting stress on it. About 3 months of adult only careful use our door cracked. I contacted their CS. I was told that nothing was covered past a 30 day warranty so it would be $23 for a new door. They sent me a copy of the warranty which stated: "Beyond the initial 30 day period, this warranty does not apply to: A. cosmetic damage, such as broken glass, scratches, nicks and dents; B. consumable parts, such as kettles and light bulbs, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship." I strongly believe that this broke because of the "workmanship". It should not have happened after such little careful use. They sent me a paypal bill for $23, but all other correspondance was ignored. I have dealt with many companies that stand behind their products even after the warranty has expired without a problem. Those are the types of places I deal with again and again. I would not purchase or recommend Great Northern as they don't stand behind their brand. (Nostalgia for example: I contacted them when we were getting a lot of unpopped kernels. They sent us a whole new kettle without issue. Never even asked how old the machine was.)Turned out it was more "user error" than a kettle problem in the end, but they were wonderful to work with.

I was concerned when I purchased this unit. There are a number of highly negative reviews on it. However, on further research, I have discovered that the circumstances leading to those reviews could have been avoided.

When one uses this heater with a 20 lb propane bottle & accessory hose, it is imperative that you always shut the tank off first & let the heater run until it burns off all the fuel in the lines.

*** IT IS IMPERATIVE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE ***

If one simply turns the heater knob to the off position, it will trap trap 100 PSI of propane in the accessory hose. When high pressure propane sits in the rubber hose, it will chemically react with the rubber and leetch a light oil. The oil will build up and quickly work its way into the heater, clogging both the regulator & control valve.

Another very important recommendation is to purchase the gas line filter. This will catch the oily residue and protect the combustion components of the heater should one forget to follow the precautions above.

Keeping these precautions in mind, one will be able to enjoy a very well-build and flexible-use portable heater.

I don't agree with some of the reviews. I don't see that it's a fire hazard at all. My Big Buddy was delivered last week. Here's what I found:

My elevation in Virginia, About 800 feet

Ambient temperature, 72.8 (in my house). Outside temp 29.0

1. Running on high on ONE Disposable Cylinder caused unit shutdown after 50 minutes. (Pilot started to flicker, cut out and then gas shut down). Single bottle was covered with ice (I assume that's bad...)

2. Running on TWO Disposable Cylinders got me the balance of three hours smoothly and well.

3. No fumes observed at all. Some moisture, but cracking the window an inch kept it under control.

4. A lot of heat. Too much for my wood floor. I had to put it on my brick mantle. This might scorch tile.

5. It kept my upstairs (1000 square feet) at 72.5. Only a loss of 0.3 degrees over three hours. Better than expected.

Suggestion: If you are trying to run on high with disposables, use two of them. This is not in the manual.

I don't know how it works with tanks, or whether you need to feed one or both inputs.

My unit did not come with the AC adapter. The batteries work.

If you bump it gently, it shuts off.

Conclusion:

For 139 bucks, it fits the bill well enough. It appears to be very well made, but the safety features make it tempermental. For my use as an emergency heat source, it's adequate.

I've been fumbling, stumbling, and bumbling along trying to obtain the "right" combination of MR HEATER items to allow me to use their BIG BUDDY product. I strongly suggest that you decide on which heater you want, then go to and pull up the web page for that heater. Find the FAQ section for that heater. Read through the "problems" very closely. You will find there are valid reasons for those problems to occur. MR HEATER explains and provides solutions to those problems in the FAQ. One thing, in my humble opinion, is missing in the descriptions ~ If you are using larger than 20-lb tanks, you may need a "regulator" to control the pressure from the tank to your heater or other small appliance. Check with MR HEATER Tech Support before you run into problems. Be patient and be very clear about your setup. Everyone I have contacted has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. MR HEATER also provides information on the SAFETY RECALL situation with a possible solution on what to do with replacing a faulty heater.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH18B, Portable Propane Heater

Here's what you should know BEFORE you buy this thing. It is inefficient, expensive, and environmentally lousy with 1 lb disposable cylinders. If you are planning to use a 20lb propane tank, be aware that you can only get near the 220 hour (at low) performance by using 2 tanks. The heater has 2 regulators, 2 heating tiles, and 2 connections. At low and medium settings you will only use one of the `tiles'. On high, both tiles will burn brightly. The fan is noisy and sucks down D cell batteries, but really doesn't move much air. There is also the AC adapter option: Radio Shack sells it for about 18-20$. Mr. Heater Customer Service can provide the part numbers but cannot sell you the item. When you talk with them, you might as well order the fuel filters ($9.95 each) that you will need if you use 20 pound tanks. For 2 tanks, order 2 filters. The filters are a (moisture/impurity) trap that prevents the tiny holes in the heating tiles from filling up with junk. Propane may be equal at creation, but one never knows how it has been stored. Use the filters. If you use 20 lb tanks, you will also need hoses. Mr. Heater makes them in 5 and 12 foot lengths. Amazon seems to have the best price on these. You should expect to spend $100-$150 above the price of the heater for hoses, tanks, filters, AC adapter.

Feeding the rumor mill: There was a Consumer Product Safety Commission Recall of this item during the Winter 04/05. It impacted all heaters sold prior to about January 10, 2005. The problem concerned a potential malfunction of the regulator/control valve assemblies. My first heater was affected by the recall. I had no use of it for the winter of 04/05. My second heater works just fine.

Amazon Customer Service: EXTREMELY POOR as it relates to this purchase. I purchased my heater days before the recall was announced. Amazon refused to accept my return of this item even though it had not been used. They also took down product reviews alerting customers to the recall (and potential safety hazard) of this item. After numerous polite but fruitless conversations, I contacted the President of Amazon with my complaint. He has chosen to ignore it. I would probably buy this heater again despite the problems. I would never buy anything from Amazon again because of the problems.

My heavily retro-insulated 1920 NH colonial is heated with base-board heat supplied by an oil fired water boiler. Living alone now, and seeing oil prices exceeding $4.25/gallon this summer, I decided to get creative with space heaters. After a lot of research, I bought a Big Buddy for my downstairs 12x24 office and a Delonghi TRD0715T oil-filled radiator for my upstairs, 12x12 bedroom. Both have proven to be excellent choices.

To fire my Big Buddy, I drilled a small hole in the wall to the outside, just large enough to sneak the 12' regulated propane hose (accessory) outside and into a barbeque grill size propane tank. I built a little, enclosed stand for the propane tank so I could reach out a window to turn it off and on rather than have to go outside to do it. I've been keeping the rest of the downstairs at 50 degrees as I don't use the other rooms except to walk through to get to my office. In the morning, I fire my Big Buddy up to the max 18,000 btu and in 20 minutes the room is at 60 degrees. Then I turn the heater down to 9,000 btu for a half hour or so until the room is up to 65 degrees, then down to 4,000 btu until the room is at 70 degrees, and for the rest of the day I vary between 4,000 btu and just a pilot light. At a local propane dealer, I can get a 20 lb. barbeque tank filled for $10. I keep two barbeque tanks, so when one runs out of propane, I have another ready to go. So far I go through a tank about every 10 days. No mess, no fumes, no headaches, no problems. Between this heater and the excellent Delonghi heater in my bedroom, I have so far used 1/8 tank of heating oil since August, where I would otherwise by now have used more near 3/4 of my 275 gallon oil tank. Even as heating oil has dropped considerably in price since August, that's still a huge savings.

One downside of my Big Buddy is the installed fan is not only noisy but pretty useless. To compensate for this, I have a six inch fan propped up behind and toward the top of the heater to blow the rising heat around the room. My Big Buddy isn't thermostat controlled, but who cares? When the room is up to the temperature I want, I get up out of my chair once every couple hours or so and turn the heat control up or down, and for that minor inconvenience I save a small fortune on heating oil.

If you buy the Big Buddy, be sure to turn off your propane source and let your Big Buddy pilot light go out before you turn off the unit. Otherwise, enjoy the relatively inexpensive heat from this excellent powerhouse.

I have had 2 units. The first one I had for about 5 years but never used it, was too expensive to run the electric heat. We had a tenant move into the house and they used it regularily for about 4 years. The fan in the unit broke and began to char the cabinet wood (this was placed under our kitchen sink) The safety mechanism did not work to shut off the heat. We thought that perhaps the unit being 5+ years old, it was just worn out. Amazon.com had the Dimplex model, I knew it would fit so we reordered the same model.

We replaced the unit and within 3 days the fan broke, again charring the cabinet wood. I have tried to contact customer service at Dimplex and the waits are over an hour on the phone. Email doesnt work either. I submitted an online request on Dec 22now is Jan 26th and I still have not heard back. Extremely annoying!! Not sure what is more annoying.. my tenant bugging me to have this fixed or Dimplex's wait time.

My daughter needed a little more heat in her living room and had an unused fireplace so I investigated these. Right off the bat there are a lot of idiotic places that don't think listing the dimensions is important but how else can you fit one to an existing fireplace? Finally I found one that would fit! Almost all of these fireplace inserts have the exact same BTU's which is just barely enough to do anything in a chilly room. A screw came out of the inside of it shortly after I installed it. The flames are hard to see, also! Nothing like the ones in their pictures! So do not expect a good heater that glows like a real fireplace!

The pros:

*I love the timer on top of the kettleI timed how long it took the kettle to heat to each ideal brewing temperature, and now I can just set the timer and leave the room. So convenient!

*It's attractive and goes well with the rest of my black appliances.

*The steeping basket is a good, fine mesh. Very little mess at the bottom with finer-cut leaf teas, and none at all with the larger leaf teas.

*Heats the water very quickly.

*The inside is stainless steel, so you don't get that weird plasticky smell/taste in your tea.

*Keeping the kettle clean, I have not had difficulty with staining or scale build-up.

*Takes the guesswork out of green and white tea brewing.

The cons:

*While I understand the cord is short for safety reasons, I do wish it was a bit longer. I also wish it was retractable.

*No whistle. It isn't really necessary with the timer, but somehow I'm just accustomed to my kettle whistling. Wouldn't affect my decision to buy it in the future.

*The timer only measures in whole minutes, when sometimes half-minute increments would be nice.

*The kettle won't maintain lower temperatures; you just have to unplug it when you get the temperature you want, and either steep a whole pot of the same kind of tea, or keep re-heating the water if you want to make different teas.

I'd been considering a few different, more expensive multi-temperature models of electric kettles/water dispensers, and I'm very glad I decided to go with this inexpensive (not cheap!) alternative.

A nice tea pot actually holds 40 oz, so you can't really call it a little tea pot. It does what it says it does, you put water in the pot and watch the temperature and when it gets to the right one, you put the tea in the infuser and put it in the pot. It is all pretty straight forward and a pretty good deal for the money. So the complaints I have read, it beeps when it gets to the last minute, well my stove does that too, because it doesn't time less than a minute, but will count down the last minute so you can stop it... important if you are brewing your tea for 2 and a half minute. The infuser is easy to put on. The thermometer is easy to read even with my bad eyes, same for the timer. So do I wish it had a longer cord, yes the cord on this is really short, do I wish it had an off button so when it got to the right temperature you can turn it off, yes, but I plugged into a surge protector and when it gets to the right temperature, I just flip the switch. Do I wish it was on a detachable base, you bet... but honestly for the price it does a great job and I am thinking of getting another, just so I have a back up. You want a system to brew tea and do everything for you well there is a $250 machine out there, for the rest of us, this works really well. And then we can spend money on the tea not the machine.

Cons:

It's useful enough to do what I need it to do: boil water for tea. If I want a green/oolong, I can just look at the thermometer and unplug it when I want to. I invested in a $2 switch for it, so I don't have to keep unplugging it and creating a big spark each time.

I ordered this because the description said it was stainless steel inside. Only the bottom warmer is stainless, the entire housing is plastic. Plastic releases toxins on a molecular level when heated. It is damaging to your health to drink from hot plastic containers.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I obtained this product to use in the area of my flat where I keep my computer. Since office buildings often are extremely over-heated in winter, the heat which it produces should be suited to those who tend to become chilled easily. I tried it in October, well before the season when I'd be placing my thermostat at the 65 where it remains all winter, and found it produces only minimal heat. Whether it will get me through the winter chill I cannot say.

It does have some drawbacks. It's compact size and cord holder are definite 'pluses,' and it is energy efficient. However, the directions cautioned against placing it on a desk or tabletop, and instructed that it should be three feet from furniture and fabrics. I was unable to feel much heat from a distance of three feet, and I also would question whether many people would have enough space to keep such an appliance that distance in open space.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Bionaire Office Heater is really well designed for its purpose: to heat your immediate workspace. It's reasonably quiet, which is really important in this context, and it emanates a good amount of heat to keep you comfortable when there's a chill. It's a very basic device: no thermostat, no oscillation/rotation.

Having the motion sensor is also a very good feature. The office or plant manager doesn't like it when employees waste electricity by leaving a heater going all day. This one turns off itself when there's no motion nearby after about 15 minutes.

Right now my wife is using it at her desk in school (she's a teacher). When winter is over, we're planning to use it in the bathroom in our little, unheated spring/summer/fall cottage where nights and mornings are cool all year round. I'll update this if I actually do get to try it out in that setting.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a small compact heater which is meant to give you a little bit of heat when your feet are freezing or your hands need a quick warm up. It is not a heater that you would use to really warm up a room. It is what I call the QUICK FIX heater. I acquired this for my wife, who is constantly cold in the winter time in her office. She simply placed it on the floor under her desk and it gave her enough heat to stop complaining about chills.... The motion sensor makes for this to be energy efficient...walk away for a while and it shuts down and does not waste electricity...which is exactly what you want in an office environment. Its not there to heat a room...but to give you some extra heat...so why have it running when you aren't there.

Excellent product to get rid of that winter chill and frozen feet/hands. 5/5 for us.

Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH4562E-GM Office Heater with Worry Free Motion Sensor

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater is designed to keep your immediate desk area warm and it does just that. I tested it out at work when our temperature dipped down this winter. I rested the heater on my desk (even though it says not to, I just made sure it didn't get too hot) and aimed it towards me like I do with my personal fan during the summer. I liked that it has a motion sensor and turns off if there is no movement for 15 minutes. I also like that you can change it between low, high and motion sensor.

While this heater does not rotate, have a temperature setting or heat a large area; it does what it is designed to do. In my opinion it is a little overpriced and you could buy another heater cheaper that would do the same thing. If you are going to buy it; I would recommend it for an office, bathroom or possibly even a small bedroom.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater works as advertised. It is sold as an office heater, but if you have a large office, it may not be effective. I placed mine under my desk in my home office to warm my tootsies and it works great. It throws a nice amount of steady heat and the fan is not overly loud as to cause a distraction. There are two settings, high and low.

The sensor automatically turns the unit off when you leave the room for a length of time, or, it can be turned off completely. The sensor is a great safety feature and energy saver, as well. Another neat feature is that the cord can be hidden by wrapping it around a hidden pedestal on the bottom of the unit. The unit is fairly small and compact, which allows you to set it on your desk instead of the floor.

All in all, this portable heater is a charm. The only negative is that when you first start using it, you have to suffer through the smelly new plastic odor until the unit is broken in and used for a while. Recommended.

We have one of these Samsung heaters at our business, and it does a great job. It heats and cools a modest sized conference room, about 250 sq ft.

The indoor unit is attached to a small appliance (heat pump) that sits outside. The two are connected by a couple of small copper pipes and a wire. The outdoor unit has an electrical circuit connected to it. When running, both the indoor and outdoor units are VERY QUIET--this is another benefit. This model of Samsung has a great air cleaner, too. We are very pleased.

I inherited this heater and admit that I wanted it for sentimental value but I love it now! Having the ability to target a particular temperature is great, I wouldn't want a heater without that feature. What I would like is the ability to point the airstream up or down in addition to swiveling on the base. It is wonderfully light and compact and feels very safe. Though looks aren't important to me this little unit is more attractive than many others I've seen.

I bought one of these last year and am using it again this winter. This heater is rather quiet for a fan-type although powerful at 1500W. The thermostat isn't very accurate, but then it was only designed to keep a personal space at a certain temperature, which it does well. You would need two of these to keep a small apartment near a specific temperature; otherwise set this heater to 5 deg. above desired temp.

The heater it replaced was a 600W radiant heater which failed just weeks after purchase. Eventually I decided the fan/hot-air heater could not completely replace the kind of direct warmth I get from radiant units, so now depending on my activity I alternate between the Holmes and a newer 900W carbon-FIR heater made Honeywell.

Fan-type heaters usually annoy me, but this one doesn't and it turned out better than I thought it would. I think this one would have rated 5 stars if it had a gradually-adjustable thermostat instead of digital presets.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH416 1-Touch Swirl Grill Power Heater

Did the job well until it quit after 2 winters. It has thermostat-like settings that show certain temperatures you can select, but I don't think the thermastat actually worked the heater just stayed on all the time, so I just used the high/low settings.

This inexpensive little personal heater has a lot of great features that you don't find with other models in the same price range. First of all, in addition to the high-low setting that most heaters have, there is also a specific thermostat setting that lets you choose amongst five different temperatures (I believe the degree choices are 60-65-70-75-80). Secondly, the heater is self-adjusting, so once the room reaches the desired temperature, the heater turns off, only to come back on if the temperature dips back down. This heater has a nice swivel feature which allows you to angle it in different directions without having to move the entire unit. Finally, it is one of the smallest, quietest, most lightweight space heaters you will find! I have owned this heater for several years now--I use it in my basement exercise room, where it works perfectly, but it would also be great for bedrooms, offices, and other small rooms. Highly recommended!!!

I do think it looks bigger in the picture, but I wouldn't want it any larger because we put the tv above it.

Its got a good finish, some of the wood is just painted to look like solid wood but for what you pay for its a good deal. Looks nice..went together fairly easily but the fireplace insert had a built in gap of about a half inch (you had to choose top or bottom so i chose top so the fireplace would sit on the supports). It wasnt a build issue it was designed that way. Also...despite having a box that was in perfect shape and looked clean...the base piece of wood wrapped in clean wrapping was filled with dirt and was rotten. Real Flame just said to send it back to who I bought it from and didnt offer to send me the piece, I ended up just taking an orbital sander to it and repainting it to avoid the hassle of getting it back in the box since it would have been a pain to get it back in there. Seller ended up sending us the gel fireplace instead of the electric (same mantel etc) so I cant comment on the electric part of it.

I got this to replace a ten-year old shower head that was UGLY. I have an on-demand water heater so there has to be an easy flow through the head to get the water heater to fire up. We took the water saver filter out and it works very well indeed. And looks great! I recommend this. I got it on sale for a great price.

Shower head looks beautiful and was received quickly; however, it does not provide a spray. Rather the water just flows weakly from the head in one big stream that falls straight down. We have good water pressure so I don't understand what is causing the problem.

This shower head is great! We bought it to replace a rain-style one that was in our new home. We wanted something with a stronger spray, but whose spray didn't feel like needles. This shower head delivered. It has a beautiful bronze finish and the spray is just the right width and pressure. It's easy to rinse off and direct the flow exactly where needed. I would definitely recommend this shower head!

I 1st purchased this product at Home Depot 1 year ago. It works great! I used it alot. I'm the kind of person that needs soft heat thats not harsh coming out of the heater because my body is sensitive to harsh blowing heat. This heater delivers. I purchased 2 from amazon.

I have had this product for a few months and find it gives out adequate heat for my use. I am a diabetic and my feet are always cold. I keep this directed at my feet when I sit at my computer desk. It warms my feet quickly and I then keep them comfortably warm by periodically turning the heat on as needed. I also sometimes place it on my desk for cooling off when I am too warm. I use the cool fan level for this and it is really great to keep me comfortable when I don't want to use my air conditioner. I really like this versatile product.

This is a great heater for a small room. I have bought other small heaters and returned them because they were so noisy. This one is really quiet.

Honest reviews on OceanAire HFQ15A Warmwave Fan Heater

Perfect for a small space where you work or play games. Quiet, adjustable and powerful heating.

It stops working when the room temperature is normal, which was unexpected. I have it running for over two hours when it was 40*f outside, so it really knows when to work!

-1 star because the air comes out horrifically dry.

They work good and do capture a lot of dust. However, they cut the air flow by about 25%. If your ducts aren't sealed properly, I'd avoid any filter like these.

I live in an apartment building and I used them to cover my kitchen vents. It amazing how much stuff they pick up. I always feel my kitchen is cleaner because of them

They do exactly what I expect.......catch a lot of the "dust" in the air we breath. Sure, I would recommend them to anyone who wants cleaner air.

Honest reviews on Vent Mate Register Air & Dust Filters, 12 Pk

This is just like a piece of rectangle felt that you could buy at a fabric store for much cheaper. Vent mate is much better because it is like a cardboard insert with felt, that fits nicely in the vent.I will buy vent mate again on not this True blue product ( even though Amazon has them listed as vent mate they are not vent mate, they are true blue) next time when it is time to change out these.

I have used this type of filter with decent results. I prefer the VentMask to any other vent register filter. I like that you can apply a VentMask anywhere. I use them at home and especially when we take family vacations in our hotels to control my sons allergies. I found them at www.TheVentMask.com ...hope this helps others looking for filters.
