This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?). Note: In the picture, the heater appears to be cream colored; it is actually white.

Best Deals on Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

Honest reviews on Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater

Didn't use it much until recently, too late to return. Has NO tip over switch as advertised and I have cats that occasionally take great joy in tipping things over, purchased this because of the switch. It does kick out the heat, and this one is not too noisy, it rotates fine, but now the cord it getting warm, not the plug into the wall but the cord which makes me nervous to leave it on at all if I'm not right there. Would not buy this one again. At work they have a older 3yr old model and it works great that's why I picked this brand.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This machine is ready to use almost right from the box. You need a phillips screwdriver for 3 screws and everything else snaps into place...perfect for the Mechanically Challenged such as ME. My sweetheart says; "There must be more to assembly", yes... it is that easy and the Alpha Male is disappointed that it does not take hours. The quick start instructions are perfect and have step by step pictures (that made me happy) and note the screws are taped to the handle so please don't go through everything again and again looking for them....Bissell thought everything out and made this EASY.

We started up the machine and worked on a dog urine stain, and this machine does as promised. Actually, it works as good as the professional cleaner we normally rent. It is easy to move when cleaning and the unit is self contained. The solution smells good too. There are tools for steps and furniture, and I don't believe I would any more than what is supplied. I like the fact that the water heats contineously. I have 3 dogs (yes..I am dog crazy) so we will use this quite a bit.

In the future I will update this review as I am eager to see if all this dog hair does not clog the machine. The instructions do say to vaccum ahead of cleaning and we have a Dyson Animal Hair vaccum (also recommend to all pet lovers).

SO far this is a great product....Highly recommend.

Update: We cleaned all the carpets downstairs, our family room has the highest traffic from dogs and people, it was really dirty but looks great when we were done. We worked on a few stains which are resolved. The hot water seems to enhance the cleaning but the cleaning solution does seem to go quickly, so stock up. When we went to put the steamer away, there was dog hair still laying within the front part, I used a wire, hooked it and the hair was removed easily. My husband thought it would be better to unscrew the front and remove it, 20 minutes later he was done. I suggest the wire method, also clean this unit completely before putting away and it should serve you well for a long time.

Very happy with this product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I selected this machine specifically to remediate some of the long-term effects showing on a light-colored Berber carpet in our basement. Installed five years ago, it has endured the cumulative effects of three geriatric cats (who often had trouble keeping their dinners down), three rambunctious dogs, the comings and goings of several crowds of autumn party-goers, a sweet 16 party, a couple of New Year's Eve soirees and some on-again, off-again jam sessions with groups of teenage and young adult musicians. Bottom line: we had an excellent 800 square foot test track to work with.

Overall, this cleaner did an excellent job.

Pros:

-Easy assembly. Three screws for the handle, one for the upper hose reel and you're done in less than than 10 minutes. Everything else slides/snaps easily and relatively intuitively into place.

-Detailed user manual and full color quick start guide.

-Good water management system. The water tank consists of an exterior hard plastic tank with an integrated soft inner bladder. You fill the bladder with hot top water, and the cleaning process returns the dirty water into the hard exterior tank (which you empty).

-Cleaned very well. Look: in real life, the difference is never going to be as dramatic as in the marketing pictures. But we had some definite problem areas that showed residual staining even after multiple treatments with various cleaners and spot removers. This machine took care of those, as well as some ground-in soiling from where an HVAC crew had worked to replace a heat pump two years ago.

-The cleaning tool extension worked well on carpeted step treads.

Keeping this machine from five stars:

--no real good way to tell when the fresh water bladder is empty (and several times it was empty before I noticed). So you'll need to check often as your work proceeds.

--the tool hose is for use with both furniture and stairs. As a stair tool, it's only long enough to reach about halfway up/down a typical 13-step staircase, so you'll have to plan your work accordingly. Expect to either carry it over your freshly cleaned --but not yet dry-treads (or carry it all the way around the exterior of your house if you have exits at both levels).

Finally: this ships with enough Bissell 2X concentrate cleaning solution to fill the reservoir (in a water/cleaner mix) one time. My local Wal-Mart doesn't carry this, but does carry a 2x concentrate for carpet cleaners by Resolve; the Resolve brand is marked for use with Bissell cleaners and works just fine (even though the user guide says "Bissel brand cleaner only). Just make sure you have enough hand when you start. I got about 800 square feet of carpet cleaning with a single reservoir fill-up. FYI, the Bissell product has slight citrus scent when first applied; it rapidly dissipates.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Well, this is one of those mixed bags it certainly fulfills it main function as advertised, but anything else ranges between annoying and downright unacceptable.

Let's start with the positive aspects:

The Bissell effectively removes even very tough stains, spills, dried in mud and so on from carpets; we have small kids, so the carpets usually have a mixture of chocolate, milk, crayola color, mud, dirt, squashed blueberries, and all kinds of other things in them after a while. This all is not a problem for the Bissell to remove completely a job normally done in our house by professional carpet cleaners (quite) regularly.

That's it. Nothing more positive everything else about this thing sucks.

I am only listing the most major annoyances, design flaws, and handling problems here I already spent way too much time on this thing to write about every little detail that generates hassle and frustration ...

First and foremost, after cleaning the carpet, you need to clean the Bissell for which you basically have to disassemble the whole unit, to get the dirt out of all the numerous nooks and crannies. And some of those are virtually inaccessible, so you spend easily twice the time trying to remove the dirt from the Bissell than it took this thing to remove if from your carpet.

Then, it runs through the cleaning solution like there was no bottom to the tank. This will get very expensive, if you plan to clean more than the occasional spill with it.

Then there is the issue with filling the water tank it has a very narrow opening, and since it is so long, it is next to impossible to do that in the sink. So you have have to do that in the bathtub every time.

Then, of course, to clean this thing, you also have to use the bathtub, because it will not fit in the sink. Too bad, that during the cleaning of a regular carpet, so much of the carpet finds its way into the Bissell, in form of clusters of "carpet hair", that it will invariably clog your bathtub when you clean it there. So, better hose it down outside in the garden good luck with that during the winter months.

Furthermore, the much touted Surround Suction functionality is a mere advertising gag it does not add any benefit to the cleaning function, and the same goes for the hand tool, which just does not generate much suction at all.

To sum it up if you are patient enough to accept all the big and little flaws of this Bissell, you will get a machine that effectively cleans even the most hesitant dirt out of the carpet. But I have neither the time nor the inclination to put up with that kind of annoyances I'd rather give the money to a professional cleaning service once in a while and have no hassle with it.

Honest reviews on BISSELL PROheat 2X Pet Deep Cleaning System, Blue Illusion, 9200P

Once I decided to buy a carpet shampooer, I started reading the reviews and saw there were some mixed ones about the Bissell Proheat 2X Pet Deep Cleaning System. Of utmost concern for me was the ability of the shampooer to adequately clean up after my black laborador. Great dog, but an absolute shedding machine!

First time I used the Bissell Pro Heat, it worked like a charm. No problems as some of the other reviews indicated and as expected, I got wads and wads of black dog hair to show for my efforts and a delightfully fresher apartment. For two days. At that point, a completely-out-of-character case of intestinal distress struck the dog and she began leaving the Bissell and me with all kinds of challenges. Over the following week, I had multiple opportunities to use the Bissell and I can safely say the Bissell Pro Heat 2X Pet System continued to come through like a champ; after a couple times taking it apart and putting it back together for cleaning purposes, I'm kind of a champ at that, too, I guess. The only hangup I have had is with the brush assembly which has a two belt system--one large and one small. Never have figured out how to get the small belt back on, but it seems to work on just the larger belt.

I am quite satisfied with this machine; for anyone buying it, just read the directions, read the reviews and work with it a little. (and try not to let the small belt come off.)

We had an old canister-style Bissell steam cleaner and wanted one of the newer upright vacuum-style ones. I choose the Bissell Pro Heat 2x Pet. It's so much easier to use than our old one. You fill up a bladder in a tank. Fill the bladder with hot water and as it cleans, the dirty water goes in the plastic tank around the bladder which contains the clean water. There's a smaller tank in the back that the cleaning solution goes in. Just pull a trigger and the Bissell sprays water and cleaner, the vacuum sucks it back up with the dirt. You can use it either for floor cleaning or through the hand tool to use on upholstery and stairs.

It does a great job! You can see the dirt being sucked up. It's amazing how dirty carpets can be that look relatively clean.

The only downside that I've experienced is that the water and cleaning solution doesn't last very long. I have a small area of carpet to clean and I have to refill the water and cleaning solution once while I clean. It's not hard to do but if you had a lot of carpet to clean, be prepared to refill the tanks at least a couple of times.

The ease of use is very good. Fill your tanks and press your trigger to spray the water/cleaning solution and vacuum like you would with any vacuum. It is much heavier and bulkier to move around than a regular vacuum but it rolls easy and works well.

My carpets are clean and smell fresher so I'm definitely pleased with my purchase.

This is a nice water heater. At first I bought the similar Z-brand VE energy saving unit. Its problems were a AC cord that would constantly fall off and the built-in computer would error-fail every time the unit reached programmed temp; this would require a "reboot" to get it to respond again! The TIGER costs more by a few bucks and holds slightly less water. But it is NICE: The steam rarely flies out of the vents, there is so very little of it to waste heat. The computer is responsive and trouble-free. There is no need to "reboot" the bottle because it reheats only as needed and can discontinue heating to drop a few degrees, to save power. The power savings will add up greatly. I had several "Secura" heaters that were cheap in both price and quality. My Secura units, using distilled water, failed in 1-month, 14 months, and 15 months. The Tiger should outlast those units because the bottom is better insulated. That saves energy and prevents the heat from constantly abusing the electronic control module that sits beneath the water bottle in these water heater/dispensers. One note: the water can be pushed out in two ways: there are a pair of buttons on top, one to enable dispensing, and one to actually dispense; this is fairly standard. Then there is a lockable air-pump control so you can push out water manually if you are disconnected from AC power. Some high priced Z-brand water bottles lack the air pump button, so if you lose power, or take your bottle someplace, you cannot dispense!

Efficiently heats our small 2nd bedroom, but does so at the cost of a fairly loud "click" whenever the thermostat activates/deactivates. The click is loud enough to hear from another bedroom, and tends to wake up our 6 month old baby if he's not in deep sleep. Otherwise, the timer feature and heating power are very good, but you need to be aware of how loud that click is during an otherwise silent night. If they'd fix that annoyance, I'd give this 5 stars.

The DeLonghi EW7507EB is my first radiant heater.

I originally intended to buy the TRD0715T, however when I went to the store to look at it, my wife and I agreed the big red dial for the timer coupled with the weird off white color was simply too gaudy and not condusive to our room's design, not to mention this is 2011 hello? who still uses analog gauges??? I then figured a Digital interface for the heater would certainly make the looks far better. I again did my homework and found this heater (EW7505EB) and the Honeywell version (HWLHZ709). On the Target website, the Honeywell version had 2.5 stars after 51 reviews and many indicated serious issues. That left me with one choice the DeLonghi EW7507EB...

I did find one at Lowe's and noticed it had an additional L at the end of the part number (EW7507EBL) but realized it meant it was for Lowe's version. When I researched this unit on Lowes.com I found that 10 out of 11 gave it 5 out of 5 stars and one person gave it 4 out of 5, as well as no one reporting serious issues, thus I went ahead and bought it. (i got it for 59 bucks)

I have now used it for around a month and I can't be more pleased. It was roughly $10 dollars more than the awful gaudy white version and this one is more energy efficient since it has three temp levels rather than two.

It has a thermostat that is perfect, you can set it to come on and turn off automatically with two different timer profiles. Plus the thermostat is dead on, I put a thermometer in the room I was heating all the way across the room from the heater and the temperature I set was exactly the temperature of the room every time.

It is super quiet, it only makes a click noise when it turns on and off that is hardly noticable.

The heater is not super hot to the touch, it comes with warnings and I would definitly read them (and heed them), but it has not burnt me when I brush against it or touch it for a second or two.

It definitely produces better heat than the ceramic type heaters since it doesn't dry out the air, thus it is a more even constant heat. It also heats pretty quickly, since there are three settings, low, medium, and high, you can choose how fast you want the room to heat up. Additionally in the thermostat mode you can limit it to low and medium or all three to keep the temperature constant.

The last thing that I have only used once is when you leave your house for an extended period of time you can set it for freeze protection. The thermostat turns the heater on when the room reaches 42 degrees to prevent things from freezing. It is convenient to save the money and not have to heat the house when gone.

I love this thing and would definitely buy it again!

I have tried a number of supplimental heaters in the geust room of our older home in Seattle and this has been by far the best. It has no problems heating this 140 sq ft room with a large window on the medium power setting. Things I particularly like about this unit are a) Multiple power settings 690W, 780W, 1440W by my meter. Far better than other units which have off and on at ~1500W and therefor should really be the only appliance on a circuit or you risk flipping a breaker or worse. b) Digital Thermostat You can set the unit to within 1 degree of the tempurature you want. Far better than other units I've tried which either have some funky 'temperature' dial or a thermostat in 5 degree increments. Also the thermostat chooses the best power setting (up to the maximum you have set) for a more even heat (less overshooting and undershooting your selected temperature). c) No Fan This means it heats up the room more slowly but it's completely silent. e) Time Programable You can set different temperatures for different times of the day just like most homes now have on their main heating and cooling systems (from personal experience this has saved me 15-20% on heating bills over running at a constant temperature). d) Size It's not too large and reasonably light for this style of heater and will pack away into a small closet when not in use.

On the down side no matter how small they are, oil radiant heaters are ugly and the black color makes it stand out even more. Also it would be nice if it had and handle for lifting it. All in all though I'm very happy.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi EW7507EB Oil Filled Radiator Heater Black 1500W

I bought this heater about a month ago and have been very pleased with it. I use it in my 18 month old bedroom. This is my second DeLonghi heater, first one was a different model but both have worked great. I would recommend spending the extra money for the digital temp. controller. My other heater doesn't have this feature and its a pain trying to guess what setting to put it on to get the right temp. It does have the comfort zone setting but thats too warm for me while I sleep in my bedroom. The new heater is great, you just set it at any temp. and it holds it there. The only negative I would say about the heater is it does not show you what the actual room temp. is. It's not too hard to figure out though. Just raise the temp up or down until you see the heater kick on then you know that is the room temp. Some other reviews mention a loud click when the heater turns on. Unless you have dog ears you are not going to notice it. Also some reviews talked about a smell. I have never experienced this with either heater I have bought. The instructions do mention putting the heater outside for a burn off period but I never did. Pulled it right out of the box and plugged it in. No smell. Great product!

Bought this model at Lowe's after reading the reviews. It is a great unit. Has Remote control and desired temperature setting between 41 degrees and 95 degrees F. The Remote will let user set the temperature higher or lower, turn Off the unit, or set the unit for Frost Protection.

Three lights on front of panel indicate Power On to the unit, another light for power usage Red for full power, Yellow for medium power and Green for low power, and a third light indicating the Timer is being used. Initially the unit will come on at full power until the room temperature reaches the desired setting then will cycle between the Hi, Med, Low power settings to maintain room temperature. As for noise I have never heard the unit cycle 'On' but have heard a quiet cycling to 'Off'. When mine cycles On to maintain the room temperature it cycles to Low power supposedly not using as much electricity as, maybe, other oil-filled radiators.

No complaints. Highly recommended.

Update: The first unit worked so well so I bought a second unit. The first unit was very quiet...maybe you could hear a 'click' when the power cycled to Off. The second unit does makes a metallic pinging noise as the metal expands/contracts. This only lasts for about 3 to 5 'pings' then is quiet again. Box says for heating a 12 x 12 room. Mine work well with 14 x 14 rooms (one per room) plus bathroom, and temperature last night at 29 degrees F. Any time I looked to see which power level was being used it was always the Low power usage level.

I live in BC Canada and live in an older home. I took temperature readings around the house before and after installing these heaters. I have 5 of them in 3 bedrooms and two large hallways. My old energy consumption was 7500 watts per hour for the 5 old heaters. Currently my new heaters use a total of 2000 watts per hour and far more efficient so they run less than my old heaters. That is a 73% Energy savings!!! Each of these panels use 400 watts of power (which is like running FOUR 100 watt light bulbs)

This heater is more like a "room temperature maintainer" than a heater. It's great to use in a bedroom and bathroom (up to 120 Sq feet) however remember that this heater works best to keep a room temperature at a certain temp, rather than heating a room quickly. So if you room is at a certain temp, this heater will make sure it stays at that temp. In fact it takes HOURS to heat up a room with this heater, but that's how radiant heat works. It's a slow and steady process. Once it gets to a target temp, it keeps temperatures nice and warm and comfortable rather than feeling like you are in a blast furnace. Think of a camp fire. You can warm yourself directly off the fire (like a traditional heater) or heat your feet on some fire stones around the fire for many many hours (like these heaters.

I highly suggest you buy a temperature control wall socket switch (or build one using a single pole thermostat). That's where you get the most energy savings. That's because once you hit the target temp, these heaters really do a great job kicking on for a few minutes to maintain a temp and shutting off. NOTE: even when power is cut to the panels they still generate heat for 30 to 45 minutes. This is because the panels are nothing but an electric element encased in a ceramic panel. The element heats up the cermanic panel and that's what really heats up the room. Takes a while for these panels to cool down, so you get a heating bonus even with power is shut off.

====TESTING========

Here's my Test numbers using the Panel heaters:

BEFORE

Bedroom at 8 pm (before heaters) : 20 degrees Celsius (or 68 F)

Bedroom at 8 am (when I get up before the heaters): 12 degrees Celsius (or 53.6 F)

AFTER

Bedroom at 8 pm (with heaters) : 20 degrees Celsius (or 68 F)

Bedroom at 8 am (when I get up): 21 degrees Celsius (or 70 F)

These numbers are consistent in all the rooms I tested. So use these panels do work.

=====IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS======

1) When they mean 120 sq feet. They REALLY mean 120 sq feet in a well insulated room. If you have bad insulation, these heaters will do nothing. Don't even think about using these to heat an open concept large room.

2) The lower to the ground, the better these things work. The instructions suggest 3 to 6 inches off the ground and that's the best. I mounted one in the centre of the wall because of all the stuff in the room. Compared to the one's I have at the 6 inches off the ground, the performance difference is quite extreme. Almost a 60% loss in efficiency. Makes sense because these heaters send heat upwards and not forward. So it sends hot air up the wall..heating also the wall on the way up to the ceiling. The longer the stretch of wall to heat, the more effective it is.

3) These heaters do get hot but don't damage the walls. I have pets that like to sleep close to them and you can touch them by hand and not get burned...but not for long. Please don't put crap in front of the heater. That just should be obvious.

4) Painting these do help it blend into the environment of the room walls very well. You kind of forget about them unless you get near them.

5) Heaters are completely silent. No fans.

6) The heat feels different. My old heaters felt like a hair-dryer on my face when the fans kicked on. This heat is more subtle and more cozy. Feels more like being in a blanket of warm air in summer time.

===== Cons =========

1) THE SMELL!!! When you first fire these heaters up, they have a toxic smelling scent off the heaters. NO! IT'S NOT ACTUALLY TOXIC but enough to take notice and go on-line to see if this stuff is safe to breath. Turns out it's a protective coating (for shipping purposes) that needs to burn off for 8 hours to one day. After you burn it off, there is no scent at all.

2) No instant gratification. It's a hard adjustment for some people not to turn on a heater and not get blasted with heat. These heaters take some time to get used to but once you understand they are meant to stay on for long periods rather than short bursts, you sort of forget that these heaters are on.

===== CONCLUSION =====

I would only recommend these heaters under very SPECIFIC situations (like not freezing in your bedroom while sleeping. It does what it does incredibly well as long as you stay within those specifics situations. I have used these heaters when it was snowing and they worked great, especially with my temperature controlled wall sockets. My energy bill has gone down by 70% from the previous year. It maintains the temperature of the house better than any heater I have ever own...short of a Central Heating unit and those cost alot more to run than these heaters. So if you have a bedroom or a place with pets or kids where a heater can be a fire hazard (under 120 sq feet), then this heater will work great to get the chill out of a cold climate area.

We have used 4 of them in our house for 4 winters. Our house was built in 1928 and is located on an island in SE Alaska. It gets cold and humid(60%+ year round) here, and never gets that warm in the summer(mid 50-70*) The only insulation is in the couple walls I have torn down to insulate. Half the windows are old wood single pane and the other half are milgard. We heat our home with a wood cookstove stove on the main level. We have one unit in the master bedroom(12'x14'), one in the spare bedroom(11'x14'), and two in the kids bedroom(18'x11'). The two in the kids room are on timers so they alternate through the night as to which is on. The spare and master room units are only on when we turn them on(usually only at night). They have kept the rooms warm so I would not have to get up in the night to tend the wood stove. We love them. They are great for when the weather turns cold out but not worth the hassle of starting a fire up.

I was in the market for a baseboard heater for my newly renovated basement bedroom but I was not satisfied with the traditional high wattage heater, so decided to search for a better solution. I was impressed by this product and the reviews, so decided to take the plunge and order one. I also ordered the plug in thermostat for the unit as well. My bedroom is roughly 200sq ft or so and upon turning the unit on for 10-15min, the whole room is nice and cozy. As for the surface itself, it is not too hot to touch at all.. I mean it is more than lukewarm but definitely won;t burn your hand on it (after about 30min of operation).

With the high hydro cost, I highly recommend this unit. Oh, the best thing is that it runs on regular Voltage, so there is no need to do any re-wiring at all. Just plug and go!

Bought this for a drafty home office after reading Amazon reviews, and I have to say, it works. Since we rent, and I didn't want to put too many screws into the wall, I attached the heater to a large piece of particle board, and now I can move it anywhere I want and simply lean it against a wall. Keeps that room fairly toasty, and the heat doesn't feel too "concentrated". It circulates noiselessly around the room, and you actually have to be really close to the unit to feel the heat coming off of it. Not so hot as to be unsafe, but warm enough to do an effective job. No complaints at all so far!

Reviews of Holmes Tower Quartz Heater (HQH308C-UM)

Customer Ratings:

We've been using an older Holmes Tower Quartz Heater at the office for eight years. That's right the same unit for eight years. It's still going strong. My boss and I sometimes covertly fight over who gets it, and coworkers are envious. So, when I decided to look for a space heater at home, I looked to a name and performace I knew and opted for this model, the HQH308C, under $50 at a local hardware store. My living room, which is open to the shotgun kitchen, measures about 12x18, kitchen excluded, and it does a decent job of warming the area. It does a fantastic job of warming me within 12 feet. Yes, the infrared heating is somewhat directional, but unlike regular radiant or forced air heaters, the quartz elements warm the objects in the room the floor, the wall, that cool desktop or cold leather sofa, that cold you as opposed to just warming the air. It feels a bit like sitting in front of a roaring fireplace, especially if you're too close and it's set on high. At work or home, we've never had to run one of these on high. We tried it once, but in a smaller space, you're quickly coming out of your cardigan and turning it down. Also, at the office, the building has forced air that NEVER stops, so heating the air is almost impossible since that air is quickly cycled out of the building and replaced. Because it primarily heats the objects in the room rather than the air, this little number makes all the difference, even in summer when the office temp has been (I kid you not) 55 degrees and all the windows were covered in condensation while we shivered. The drawback: coworkers would look for any excuse to hang out in front of my desk for as long as they could.

I like to be comfortable, especially at home, and don't want to spend my evenings bundled up for the sake of saving on utilities. This unit lets me set my thermostat to around 65 but still watch TV on the couch or whip up a quick cup of cocoa while barefoot and wearing short sleeves, which is just the way I like it. Last winter, having only the central heat (electric) meant heating the whole place when I spent most of my time in only half of my 700 square foot home, so evenings at 74 degrees meant some hellacious bills. This winter, it's going to be a LOT more affordable.

If you're looking for something you can put in a corner and aim at a general area, this heater will more than suffice. You can kick off your shoes, sprawl like it's still summer, and be truly comfortable. If you're looking for something that will make the space behind it equally toasty, then this is not the heater for you you'll need to warm the area air, which is not specifically what an infrared radiant heater is designed for. This is a great little heater, though, and I would recommend it (and have) to a friend.

We live in a rural area and our large home is heated by baseboard heaters utilizing oil to heat the water. Needless to say....very expensive right now. I work at home and my office is located at one end of a very large family room with a full wall of windows next to my work area. I thought if I could find an effective little heater, I could save money by setting the thermostat lower at least 3 or 4 degrees. I tried 3 other heaters all closely priced in comparison. One was a heater that blew hot air, but by the time the air got where it was going, it felt cold. The other type of heater was a floor baseboard radiant type without a fan. The third...just way too noisy, forget it! None of the three fans could raise the temperature in our large family room more than one degree. I had about given up when I was in Lowe's shopping for something else. I spotted this fan there and took out my handy iPhone and used my FANTASTIC Amazon app to scan the barcode and find the reviews. Even though there were only two...I liked what the reviewers had to say enough to give the fan a try. As my toes are toasty and I'm pushing up my sleeves from warmth while writing this, I have to say that this fan beats the others by a mile. I haven't received an electric bill yet, so I don't know how much of a difference it's going to make from that spectrum, but I'm returning the other crappy fans and I may purchase another Holmes for the master bedroom if the electric bill doesn't show a noticeable spike. Incidentally, using the Holmes, we can set our thermostat in the family room up to 5 degrees less than our desired heat level and the Holmes does the rest.

update...April 2012: we have now used this heater through its second winter and it's going strong. What with the high cost of fuel, I purchased another smaller Holmes heater early this winter to use upstairs in the bedroom and office. My electric bill hasn't shown much of a spike, but the two heaters...together with blocking off part of the house with thermal curtains has reduced our oil consumption significantly. I can't say enough about Holmes and the two heaters we have!

We've been using this heater for about 2 years and it works really well. We live in a very old house (about 90 years) with no central heat. Just a wood stove that doesn't heat the whole house. We run this heater and it keeps the living room and bedroom comfortably warm. The auto shut off feature is great since we have large dog tails swishing around that could knock it over. (Hasn't happened yet but you never know.) The only draw back is that it's a bit noisy. We will be adding an infrared heater this year and hopefully we won't have to use the wood heat as much. All in all, it was a good purchase for us and we are pleased with it. I would recommend it.

My family and I have used this heater to supplement the heat in our main room for about a year now. It has worked great until last night (1/29/12) when I smelt an electric fire smell coming from it. We immediately turned it off, but anyone with this type of heater needs to be very careful with it. Only use it while you are near it or you may catch your house on fire.

Looks high quality, packaged well.

One neat feature we did not except was the unit iself (the black part) is cool to the touch even while its blowing out MASSIVE heat. We are pleased with this purchase and the temperature thermostat works well and is pretty responsive. It is noisy, but to be expected with the amount of heat/pressure. We have had temperatures in the 0 to 20 degree range and on the lowest setting it keeps our shop around 57 degrees. We could heat it up to 80 if we wanted to pretty quick, but are being conservative with the diesel fuel we are using to keep costs down. We went through 2 heaters before we found this one, we will keep it!!

Item was not what I was expecting. The stain color is off from the picture and it even may be that the "wood grain" is actually a sticker, not even veneer. Screws do not hold up well in shipment, tearing insert from mantel. I would recommend seeing this item in person before purchase and picking up item in store as opposed to shipping.

Narita International Electric Hot Pot Water Kettle 1000W Dual Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My main reason for ordering the Hot Pot is that it is made from stainless steel and I am reluctant to boil water in one of the competing plastic pots since I fear the chemical leaching potential of electric plastic kettles. I wanted to add this review to the ones already listed to add some further information. On reading the earlier reviews, I could not get the answer to how fast the tea kettle will bring water to a boil. One review said that it is slower when set on the 120 volt mode for the US and that is where I will be using it primarily. I use it to boil water for my French Press coffee pot mostly which requires 16 ounces of water to make a full pot (19 ounce french press). 16 ounces of water boils in 3 minutes here at 3000 feet altitude while the full pot (to the "MAX" mark inside the pot) boils in just about 4 minutes. Then the pot clicks off, the light on the handle goes out and water has come to a full rolling boil. By contrast, my 1200 Watt microwave takes about 5 minutes to bring 16 ounces to a boil in a Pyrex measuring pitcher. My Kill-a-Watt meter says the unit is 930 watts and draws 7.74 Amps at my line voltage of 119 volts so it is cheaper and faster to use.

Other Pros: the fit and finish is really nice, brushed stainless on the inside and a mirror finish outside. The lid is plastic but snaps securely into place registering with the handle to prevent rotation and has a comfortable molded slot for your fingers to fit securely when removing the lid. There is a reset button on the handle so you can immediately use it again after boiling a pot by refilling with cold water and pressing the reset. The base is also plastic and remains cool when in use.

I like this unit and will probably be using it nearly daily so will report on durability later.

I've been using this kettle in Afghanistan for over three months now sharing it in a tent with seven other guys and also one of our female Soldiers who knocks on the door asking for hot water. It's used A LOT and keeps boiling HOT water. The size is handy, not too big. It's done everything I've wanted and looks like it's going to last the entire deployment.

I scoured the internet for days looking for a small, streamlined, non-clunky, non-plastic hot pot that held a quart or less of water for my daughter's desk at work. The hardest part was the non-clunky, non-plastic part! This little number is great! It heats water to a rolling boil in less than 3 minutes and then shuts off automatically and can only be restarted by pushing the reset button...so no accidental boiling dry or overheating. The outside of the pot does get hot!...but that's what being metal is all about. It's no worse than a percolator type coffee pot and is much like a small, streamlined percolator but with no basket or clunky dangling things to get in the way or snag on things or get lost. It's simply a nice little pot with a lid.

The only drawback I can foresee is that the cord is permanently wired into the base of the pot...no way to replace the cord, as you can do with an electric percolator by just going to the hardware store and getting a replacement. This is probably due to the dual voltage option for overseas travel; an option my daughter doesn't currently use but may come in handy in the future.

You have to follow directions and make sure the little voltage option screw on the bottom is turned the right way (perhaps that caused the fire problem on the negative review??). This came pre-set for us in America.

Very pleased with the product and its performance and the price is worth it when you consider it cannot be found anywhere else. I am thinking of getting one for the home, too.

Honest reviews on Narita International Electric Hot Pot Water Kettle 1000W Dual

I purchased this water kettle last January shortly after arriving in Afghanistan. It was originally intended for personal use to boil water for coffee and Raman Noodles during my one-year deployment. However, it quickly became a community item serving our entire team of 30+ people. It is constantly in use, and has probably boiled 2-3 gallons of water per day for 11 months. Remarkably, it is still going strong, shows very little wear, and has no signs of corrosion or discoloration despite the very high usage and less-than-ideal war-zone environment. We use it on 220V, and it takes about 3 minutes to boil water from the full-mark ... over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

After years of lugging around my trusty and much loved Sanyo dual voltage travel cooker and/or my Zelco travel coffee maker for hot water, I decided to go back to basics and just get a travel kettle. After doing some research, I decided that I really didn't want to deal with a clunky British plug (although that's where most of the good travel kettles are from) and was left with this Narita, the Bonavita, Austin House and Severin that had N. American plugs. The first two are stainless and the last 2 are plastic and possibly a few ounces lighter. [The Bonavita is the only one out of the four listed above that is not dual voltage and so not only needs a plug adapter, but also needs a voltage converter for international use].

As I had recently a bad experience with a travel kettle where the silicone ring holding the plastic body to the heating element melted and almost resulted in both electrocuting me and almost causing a minor fire in the bathroom of a Hyatt, I decided to go with one of the stainless models above.

Pros:

+ The body of the kettle that contains the water is one piece stainless steel.

+ The kettle is as close to a pan on a hot plate as you get. = No way to spill a significant amount of water on the electronics.

+ Easy to clean and wipe out.

+ Boils water in 3-mins 45 seconds to 4-mins. 110V

+ Auto-off function works.

+ The dual voltage indicator is easy to see, understand and use.

+ A small coin can be used to change voltage

+ This kettle does let you "long boil" water to sterilize it for consumption in areas that do not have safe water. The water needs to be boiled without the lid on and not more than half the maximum volume or the water will splash out during an extended rolling boil. Note: the lids has to be completely off the pot for this.

Cons:

No hardwater screen filter near the pour spout that plastic kettles have

No screen = a dew drops of water does spit out during the last few seconds of boiling.

Lid handle is very shallow and hard to pull off without burning the back of your fingers. Would have liked a better lid handle.

Indicator light is hard to see.

The kettle does seem a tiny bit larger than your average travel kettle.

Stainless body makes this kettle heavier than your regular travel kettle

Kettle cannot be used to sterilize more than 350ml of water because water splashes out during an extended rolling boil.

Note:

* This kettle weighs 1-lb 5-oz on my analog baking scale.

* This kettle seems to have a sensitive thermostat. I was unable to boil a second kettle of water immediately after the first kettle of water. However, I had to wait even longer after the second kettle to boil a third kettle of water. The button wouldn't even respond when the kettle was too warm. Although this is a good safety feature, and is not too inconvenient if you're just making tea or coffee for one. For a family or someone who plans on boiling a larger volume of water to prepare meals, I would just recommend using a regular kettle and buying a voltage converter plus plug adapter.

* At first I thought that the kettle I received was defective when it wouldn't turn back on, but then realized that it might have an overly sensitive thermostat as is common with travel appliances.

* This kettle has a grounded plug and any plug adapter that is bought needs to be able to take a grounded N. American three-prong plug.

Reviews of NEW! Auto Heated Travel Coffee Tea Mug Cup Red - 12V & USB

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this item for myself from a local vendor. I thought it would be great to keep my coffee warm while driving to work during the cold winter mornings. I tested at home by plugging it to my laptop and the mug which was cool to the touch only got as warm as room temp. Next I took it to the family desk top computer and finally to my car. Then just to prove it was useless I filled it with hot water and started the test all over again and it didn't keep the water any warmer than if i had just poured it into a regular travel mug. This product is a total ripoff. I am better off just running hot tap water into the mug to warm it up before pouring in my coffee.

I am so glad I only paid $10 for it.

This product is a great idea, the cup keeps coffee or whatever beverage warm, not hot. I am disappointed that within the second week the plastic cover for the charger broke off (very cheap rubber) and the connection is loose, making it difficult not to get water inside the unit when cleaning. There also seems to be some sort of rust on the inside bottom of the cup that was there from the start. It took three calls to the distributor to finally get someone on the phone and I was told I needed to fax or mail them a receipt in order to get a refund. I would pay more for a higher quality product as this is the perfect cup to keep my coffee warm on the road.

Title says it all. Plugged into my laptop's usb the night it arrived. Kept the test water warm for an hour, figured it was good to go. If it worked ok with the lower power of the usb it should work even better in the car. Wrong, plugged it into the car the next day, nothing. I used a meter to check the wire and plug, had power at the connector that plugs into the mug. Something inside the mug fried I guess. Might as well spend the money on a well insulated thermos instead.

Cheap Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater

Customer Ratings:

I have this radiant heater and 2 similar models. They are all noisy for about 15 seconds when they turn on. I suggest running it on low in small rooms so it does not cycle on and off. I buy this type of heater for 2 reasons. 1. I find that forced air heaters dry out the air, which irritates by allergies. 2. The biggest reason is that my cats LOVE laying in front of these heaters for hours. The heater gives off a glow which feels like you are sitting in the sun. I have been using them for years without any safety issues, just use common sense.

This unit does a good job heating up my small office (measuring about 10'x12') rather quickly, and its thermal control keeps the room in a comfortable temperature by turning the unit on and off automatically. The unit radiates heat over a pretty large area (with a small fan helping push the hot air out front). This means that it probably will do a good job keeping you warm in a larger space as well, as long as it's placed closeby.

My only complaint is the noise. The unit makes a rather loud rattling noise when its heating elements turn on, which lasts about 10-15 seconds. The fan is reasonably quiet in the low setting, but can be distracting when on high. I certainly wouldn't put one of these in the bedroom.

I really like the Holmes HQH307 quartz heater. I use it to warm up my master bathroom in the morning. I turn it on before I hop in the shower. By the time I get out of the shower, the bathroom is toasty warm and I can stand in front of the heater while drying off.

I went through several other heaters over a three year period before settling on this one. I've used two different ceramic heaters, one was a low cube and one was a tower. Neither one of those put out as much heat as I wanted yet they consumed a lot of electricity. Then I tried a parabolic heater. It was much more efficient, but the beam of heat was too narrow. It would heat a portion of my body too much and the rest not enough. It wouldn't heat the room at all.

I've had my HQH307 for about three months which is long enough to verify that it doesn't cost as much to use as the ceramic heaters did, yet it puts out a lot more heat. The internal fan is powerful, but it's also pretty loud. For my purpose in the bathroom, that's not a problem. The fan setup is well designed: It pulls air in from the top and pushes it out the front between the heating elements which heats up the whole bathroom rather easily. The heating elements rattle a bit during the first few seconds of warming up, but that is standard on quarts heaters. The rattle goes away almost immediately.

The lifting handle molded into the back of the case is in a good location and stays cool. Don't mistake the bar across the front for a handle because it gets HOT!! It's just there to keep the front of the heater off the floor in case of a tip-over. I like the manual controls on the top of the heater. One turns the heater to low or high and the other adjusts the variable temperature control. Simple and foolproof.

The Holmes HQH307 quartz heater is a great value and I recommend it without hesitation.

NOTE: I also own a Holmes HQH319U quartz heater which is about $20 more. It has the same housing and heating elements, but the fan is quieter and the controls are digital. You might consider it if you want a powerful and efficient heater that's not as loud.

Honest reviews on Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater

After having purchased (and returned) a handul of different heating units, I purchased this unit last year from Wal-Mart for around $50. My original intention was to locate an inexpensive space heater that would heat a medium sized room and, at the least, heat me but I continued to find units that didn't live up to their marketing slogans, including the oft praised mica boards. Having almost given up, I decided to limit my scope to something that would at least heat my general direction. This heater is perfect for just such a cause (whereas the other heaters couldn't even do that well; in fact, I spent all night waiting for the mica board to do SOMETHING and was sorely disappointed).

PROS:

Heats up FAST. Consistent. Definitely warms you. Pleasing glow. Auto shutoff for overheat or tipping. PERFECT for a single or two-person family.

CONS:

Limited heating area point and blast with this one, don't expect the entire room to feel heated. If the room is SMALLER, it can do that job, but a living room may feel lacking.

Loud You may not mind the sound of this unit but if you're working on something requiring acute attention, this may bug you. In fact, the unit isn't that loud and I personally find it to have a pleasing hum, but some reviewers claim it's as loud as a race track I'm sure they're being facetious.

I gave it three stars because it can't heat up a medium sized room. However, for its price, and for the consistently pleasing temperature it maintains, I would HIGHLY recommend this heater, ESPECIALLY for single and two-person households.

For the money this is a great heater. The heat is radiant and penetrating and provides more deep-down warmth to a room than does a ceramic heater. I like the glow, which reminds me of a woodburning stove.

The initial rattle is nothing to be concerned about and it does go away in seconds. However, I had a lesser, continuing rattle when the heater was sitting on a carpeted floor. I took a thin cutting board with an extremely hard plastic surface to set the heater on on top of the carpet. That cured it! I was careful to keep an eye on it and make sure that the cutting board was not getting warm, starting to melt, etc. The cutting board was not impacted at all. In fact, it stayed surprisingly cool despite the heat being put out, even on a high setting.

The manual controls do not bother me. There is no digital temperature reading, which does not matter to me either. I don't think the thermostats on economical heaters are that accurate anyway. The thermostat does facilitate cycling on and off throughout the night while I am sleeping, which is what I am really after.

If I do hear it running in the night, I briefly think "aah, heat" and go back to sleep. If I do notice the glow, I briefly think "aah, nightlight" and go back to sleep.

There are more elaborate heaters out there for more money, but for what I have spent I am getting good, penetrating heat, and thanks to my cutting board it is rattle-free in a carpeted room.
