Since there were no videos or anything of this new product, I was a little hesitant to buy it, but I wanted to have it when I was home for the holidays. It came in a huge box and was well packed. Instructions were easy and I had it together in about 20 minutes. Turned it on and played with the remote controlled light, heat, and flame speed features...and it really looks like a real fire and puts out a good amount of heat. I had it on every day while I was home and was just please to push a button, have a "fire", not worry about wood or ashes or a smokey smell in the house, etc. I would recommend this product!

I only got to use this three times before it stopped heating. It still lights up but it gives off absolutely no heat now. For $600 it should have lasted longer than that. Very disappointed.

I had problems with the first unit with some motor wires that got smacked and were broken. I called the company and they sent a complete new unit immediately paid for the return of the old one and no questions. The support and customer service was great! This unit works great and my wife loves it.

Honest reviews on Dimplex 28in Premium Electric Fireplace Log Set - DLG-1058

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I had to update my review to reflect my recent experience with Dimplex a drop from 5 stars to 3 stars. The logs started to flicker and the heater started to randomly cut out after a few weeks of use. I understand that things like this happen, and that it may have been damaged in shipping so I sent an email to customer service to explain the problem. I got a response after a couple of days from someone who gave me a customer service number to call. I called in and waited for over 2 hours, no joke, before someone picked up. The person was very friendly and told me that they would send out a brand new set of logs and it would take 7-10 business days to receive them this was on February 25th. I am writing this on April 14th I just checked the website with my call number and it says that the order is still "In Process". These are a great product, but just be aware of what could happen if you have any problem with them.

We had our chimney inspected and it would have cost thousands to make it safe for a real fire, or even a gas fire, so I started looking into other options. I decided on these logs because of how realistic they looked, and I am not disappointed. The inner glow of the logs is so natural looking. You would really need to look closely to notice these aren't real, especially if you put a screen in front.

I already had gas coming into the fireplace, so I capped the copper gas line in the crawlspace and then cut the existing line and used it as a conduit for the electrical. I installed a single electrical connector and hid the wires behind the logs. After doing this, I completely sealed off the chimney since this doesn't need an open chimney and I figured that I may as well seal off a hole and save on heating/cooling bills.

I also purchased 5 pounds of black glass embers which help to make the whole thing look a little more realistic and is a lot cleaner than using charcoal.

The end result is an extremely realistic looking fire that I can have running as ambiance without producing heat, or I can set the thermostat at any temperature I want, as high as 125 degrees, to produce as much heat as I need.

The only complaint I have is that the remote seems to be a little funky, but it is an RF remote, and they tend to not be as responsive as IR remotes. The good thing about RF remotes is that they work through walls and don't need to be pointed directly at whatever you are controlling.

Overall, I highly recommend this unit.

My home is brick and was built in 1870 which means it has absolutely no insulation. I knew I couldn't stand another winter sitting in a drafty living room with blankets piled on. Whenever people would visit, I'd suggest they leave their shoes on because the floors were so drafty.

In September, I decided I wouldn't go through another cold and drafty winter so I started doing my research. I stumbled across the RugBuddy and it caught my eye. Like most people, I was a bit skeptical about making a fairly large purchase for an unknown item. After several weeks of debate I took the plunge. Several days later I received the product. It is a paper-thin film with heating elements running through it. I followed the simple instructions and within minutes turned it on.

Being a software engineer, I had to chart RugBuddy 's progress. I used an infrared instant thermometer laser and recorded that before turning on RugBuddy my area rug registered 62.5 degrees. After 1 hour it was 72 degrees. After 2 hours it reached 80 degrees. You instantly feel it on your stocking feet when you walk on the rug. After purchasing the RugBuddy, I now enjoy grabbing a pillow and lay on the floor to watch TV. It's like laying on a giant electric blanket.

I called the company to ask about electrical usage. They said that a panel to cover an 8x10 rug costs ~ .25/hr. in my area (New York State).

I hope this information proves useful to someone who is looking for an affordable solution to drafty rooms.

Our rug buddy arrived, while we were gone. Couldnt wait to get it going.. We started it as four of our grandchildren arrived. Soon our rug was wall to wall with people soaKing up the heat. It was a very cold day and worked great. We realize now that the furnace doesn't run as much when the rug buddy is on. I highly recommend it..

This company apparently is not much of a company. I pulled apart the bed to place this heating mat under it so the bed could be warmed at night without turning on the heat for the whole house. It requires a rug pad underneath (just happened to have one that fits, but you wouldn't know you needed one unless you check around) and a rug to go on top. When I opened it the box, the mat was folded and when I tried to unfold it, it was all stuck together. I assumed that there was a reason for it, but I called customer care to find out whether this is unusual. At 4:45 on a Monday afternoon, the extension for tech support (apparently they only have one guy who does this) did not pick up, and I left a message--pleading to get a call back, since I had to leave within the hour and did not want to have to put my bed back together that night, take it apart again once I heard back from them, and go through the whole mess again. Of course, by 6 pm, no reply. I will not buy anything from a company with a single tech guy who leaves before five on any give day. Too much hassle.

This is a wonderful heater, while not taking up too much space. Everytime I turn it on, my cat immediately goes to curl up next to it. It is a safe for animals/children to be around, as it is sturdy and does not get hot to the touch. Helps to offset the cost of heating in our home. Great value and the pewter color is alittle different than the plain black you usually see.

This is an excellent little heater. I had the previous version for and it used it almost daily for about two years, I just bought this new one to replace it. It's very quiet, easy to use, and puts out a good amount of heat. My favorite feature is the thermostat, I can set it so that while I'm sleeping it keeps at a constant temp. It turns off at the desired temp and turns back on if it gets too cold. It's very comforting to know that I won't wake up freezing.

I needed to get a heater because where I live, my roommates keep the house kind of cold, for whatever reason. Anyhow, I purchased mine from Wal-mart because I was looking for something inexpensive to keep jack frost away at night. Well, this did it! I turned on the heater and it was super warm and amazing. I woke up the next morning and I was actually a little hot! I thought the roommates turned the central heat up but when I opened the door it was unbearably cold in the rest of the house. I would recommend this for anyone who needs to warm one semi-large room. This may not work for a large room like, say, the living room. It works for a bedroom just fine. One great feature to this heater is that if it falls the heater cuts off because it is not sitting upright, meaning that is diminishing the threats of fire. Purchase, you won't be sorry!

I bought my first one about 4 years ago, and it had always worked well. Sadly, this year I had to replace it. The thermostat no longer allowed it to run more than 5 minutes before shutting down.

It was nice to see what appears to be the same Heater, still available, with same features and an even more modern look. I bought it immediately.

However, new is not always better. This new model does not heat up as quick. It also does not get a mid sized room as toasty as the one I had before, tho it still consumes the same 1500 watts.

PROS:

Heats a small to medium area eventually.

Apparently a safe product.

CONS:

Disappointed it did not work as well as its earlier version.

Heat blowing out from it's 360 degree fan coverage should give results better than it does.

Bottom Line: A nice heater that could be better.

I've had this space heater since the beginning of winter and have used it in the bathroom to warm it up before I shower and next to me while I'm on the computer. The last time I used it I noticed a burning smell and discovered to my dismay that the heater was melting in on itself. The plastic housing was too hot to touch and was warped. I immediately unplugged it and carefully carried it outside because of the noxious-smelling fumes emanating from it. When contacted, Honeywell stated that they'd be glad to replace our heater, if we paid for shipping and a "fee." In other words, buy another heater to replace the faulty one. Avoid Honeywell!

Honest reviews on Honeywell 360 degree Surround Fan Forced, HZ-0360

I bought one the winter of 2011. It was a warm winter and it was rarely used. When it was on, it heated well, but the little heat it dispersed could not be felt from too far away. It worked well in conjunction with the furnace being on. After about 20 uses it went into a storage room. This fall, i took it out and turned it on. Only the fan was working, the elements in it were not heating up, even on the highest settings. I bought a new one and returned the old one. This new one has worked fine all winter so far. It heats the same as the old one. My son likes to sit over it at his feet while he's on the edge of the recliner with a blanket and it warms him up well. It has a built in thermostat that shuts it off if it detects the heat is beyond a certain temp, and it automatically shuts down if tipped over. These are nice features of this inexpensive product. If my first didn't die after only a small number of uses, i would give it a 5 star review for the price. Because it can die after so few uses, it may not be worth it. I would highly recommend buying it someplace that's close and easy to replace in case it does quit.

I bought this and it works GREAT! It takes cold air and forces it through a fan up and out the top of it in a 360 degree area where ever you sit it. Its best to use it on the floor since cold air is dence and always on the floor etcetera. When it heats up a room it really heats up a room when my furnice went out it kept my pipes warm as well as the basement til it was fixed, I purchased another one for the second floor which worked great it kept everything comfy another thing I like about it is that the plug doesn't heat up like on most heaters even when you switch it onto the hotter heat setting it's still warm to the touch and your plug outlet isn't blazing hot all n all it's a great buy there's also a larger version of it which has really nice features and does just as well but in a bigger version this is the best portable heater I've ever purchased..

List Price: $399.00

This was my initial review posted on a deal site where i learned about this heater.

Consider this the good.

Been running the Lifesmart Infrared heater for the last 4 days and i think its a keeper.

We lowered our downstairs thermostat to 60 and cranked up the Lifesmart on high. It took several hours before the thermostat was satisfied when set to 68 degrees.

Once it cycled off and on a couple times, i tried raising the thermostat to 72. It never shut off. Looks like 66-68 is going to be the sweet spot if we dont want it running continuously.

I have it in a room that measures 13'x27' with 8' ceilings. We put up sheets to block double wide openings into adjacent rooms.

We put a temp gauge on the shelf and it does read around 68-70 degrees when the unit cycles off.

So is this thing going to heat a 1,000 to 1,500 sq. ft. area? I really doubt it, but it does a decent job of heating the room i purchased it for. It even has an off/on timer which we used both to turn the unit on in the morning an hour before we get up and then we also used it to shut off 2 hours after leaving the house just in case our guest forgets to turn it off.

The fan may be a little noisy for some, but we couldn't hear it with the TV going so its not a big deal.

You can feel the warm air coming out of it from about 4' away, but beyond that its not directly noticeable.

I haven't had the chance to hook up my Kill-A-Watt meter yet, but hope to do so this week.

Remote control works well and all functions are accessible through it.

The power cord does get a little warm to the touch. The manual does say that it must be plugged into an outlet rated at 15 Amps or more and that nothing else be allowed to run on that circuit.

If you do the math, 1500 Watts at 120 volts = 12.5 Amps. So i wont be running the microwave, TV or any other such appliance at the same time. Luckily we have a couple circuits in the living room area, so it hasnt been an issue for us.

So the jury is still out on the added electricity cost, but if the claims of a dollar a day hold true, hopefully itll save us some money on our oil bill. The manual bases that claim on operating it for 8 hours out of the day. Based on our KWH rate of 8.265, our cost to operate comes out to about .99 cents pr/day.

Ill be anxious to hook up the Kill-A-Watt and see what it says and also to have a look at our first electric bill.

The Bad and the Ugly:

Just short of 3 weeks of use, we got 2 E1 errors within 2 days of each other. Had to unplug the unit and plug right back in. We were able to continue using it after.

I knew about these E1 errors after reading some reviews here and was hoping it wouldnt happen to me. I decided to buy it anyways hoping Lifesmart had resolved the issue.

A couple days later the unit started shutting off completely with no error code. After letting it sit for a while, the power light would come back on. If we tried unplugging and replugging right away, it would not come back on and no lights appeared on the unit.

With just 2 days left on the return policy, it got sent back yesterday.

I emailed Lifesmart twice about the issue and after several days wait got a response suggesting it was an overheat issue and that i needed to make sure there was a minimum of 2-3 ft clearance behind the unit, that it wasnt plugged into a circuit with other high draw devices, that it wasnt on a GFCI outlet and that we weren't using an extension cord. None of this applied to us except for the fact that there are 2 lamps on the same circuit. As mentioned before i measured the Lifesmart heater drawing 12.5 Amps at its highest setting, so that leaves a little room for some low current devices like the lamps.

After waiting several more days when i inquired about shipping costs to send it back to them for repair, they said that they would ship me the parts and i could install them myself! I have no problem doing this, but found it highly unusual that they would suggest something like this on a unit thats still under warranty.

I got this email on my way to ship the unit back to the retailer i bought it from.

Last weekend i went out and bought 2 different inexpensive Fan Heaters that both have a 1500 watt setting. Both did about the same as the Lifesmart heater in keeping the room described above at around 66-68 degrees. The one cheaper fan was purchased for $16 and doesnt have the bells and whistles that the Lifesmart has, but it cost a whole lot less. The 2nd one costs $35 and does have a shut off timer feature, but no start up timer (which i miss). Both have the auto shut off tip feature.

Our electric bill did go up some in the 3 weeks we ran the lifesmart and i dont expect that using either of these less expensive heaters will change the electricity usage much. I put my Kill-A-Watt meter on both of the cheaper units and they both draw about the same wattage and current as the lifesmart.

The Lifesmart ran pretty much continuously unless i had it set to 66 degrees. It would then cycle off occasionally. As i have read elsewhere and in some recent deal forum discussions, is that 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter how you slice it. The lifesmart is no more efficient than either of these 2 fan heaters i bought. The only thing these Amish style Infrared heaters have going for them is looks and the possible inclusion of an timer to turn the unit on at a specified time.

I was interested in these types of heaters but after reading some of the reviews I was unsure. I decided to try it after a friend told me they had one and loved it. I live in NH and bought this to help heat my 500sq ft mobile home....well I am pleased to say that it has been heating my home all by itself, I have it set on low and on 68* and it keeps the whole place at that temp( I also run a fan to circulate the air)....its been in the low 20's and its done great! My propane furnace hasn't run once since I got this heater which is great at 3.40 a gallon for propane! I haven't gotten the 1st electricity bill yet, but I have figured out on low it uses 1000 watts an hour which is 1 kilo watt an hour and at .16 cents a kilo watt/hr thats $3.85 a day if it ran constantly which it does not, it cycles on and off so my bill shouldn't be that bad compared to propane costs....we will see. I recommend this heater to anyone looking to supplement their heating bill...its been doing a great job for me!

The LS1500-6 is bulkier and very noisy compared to the LS1500-4. We have both, and even though the LS1500-6 looks nicer, it's not worth dealing with the extra noise. Also, in terms of heating capability both models seemed about the same to us. The LS1500-6 failed on us after only 2 weeks of use, and vminnovations wanted us to pay forty bucks to ship it back to them for a replacement, plus shipping costs for the new unit ridiculous. We should have dealt directly with amazon since they have a better return policy for dealing with defective merchandise.

Excellent heater, and I would highly recommend to others.

Because the price of propane has gone up exponentially, I decided it was time to do some zone heating. I live in a 2200 sq foot house with myself and my dog... no reason to heat the whole house when we spend 99% of the time in 3 rooms. I turned down the main furnace by about 12 degrees. I bought a couple of other heaters which work well in smaller rooms, but my kitchen/family room area is about 650sq ft, and in order to heat them up, I had to have two space heaters running. This one heats the room up in about an hour (72 degrees) on high, and then will maintain that temp on the low setting.

The one feature I love is the timer. Just before going to bed, I turn the unit off and set the timer to 7 hours. The heater turns on about one hour before I get up and voila, no more freezing in the morning while I wait for the room to warm up.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it is noisier than I expected. But I can live it, and just don't put it next to me.

Best Haier CPN14XH9 14,000 BTU Portable Room Heat/Cool Air Conditioner Deals

Customer Ratings:

To be fair, the unit does well on cool days (below 85). On hotter days, when you really need it, it barely keeps my 350 sq ft. appartment at 80. This is not my idea of comfort. In addition I don't cook in the apartment and I don't have massive southern exposure either so those excuses are not valid. This unit simply doesn't live up to the 14000 BTU rating (considering entire houses run just fine on 2 ton units). Called customer service today and they'll send a technician over, we'll see what happens but I don't think they'll consider it faulty. My impression so far is save your money and buy something better.

Update: Last time I reviewed this AC I'd just bought it. Obviously the technician didn't find it to be faulty he just said I was expecting too much with the weather outside (it was 95 or so outside). I've had it for 2 years now and it keeps the apartment (350-400 sq feet BTW) cool enough (72-74 degrees) on days where it's mildly hot (mid 80s) outside but it consistently fails to live up to the 14,000BTU rating when it's hotter and will leave the apartment at 80-85 degrees or so if it's getting to 95-100 degrees. I've kept it mainly because:

1) I'm at work most of the time and get home at night so this AC's failure isn't as annoying as it could be : )

2) I'd never get my money back

3) I suspect many floor standing models are just as poorly made and I really don't have many windows that I care to block. How much money will I waste to find one that works a little better?

I hope this helps.

I'll keep it short... This air conditioner is made with the cheapest materials possible. I bought this air condition last year, and three months later the fan broke. I opened up to see if I could do anything about it (and to confirm that it was in fact the fan the was causing the trouble), it turned out that it was in fact the fan that broke (basically shattered into pieces) and most of the material inside was STYROFOAM and cheap plastic... I'll never buy from this company again

I have used this unit for about 5 years. It has worked great as a backup unit at my small store when the main ac broke. I live near the ocean and window units rust away in no time. This unit is indoors and hooks up in minutes. It's fantastic for our older shore home because it can easily be moved from room to room. I have found it works just great in 90* temps because I used it last month during a heat wave. The heating feature is really nice because It will take the chill off the house in early morning without turning the heat on. My 95 year old mother loved it because she could keep the room she was in warmer than the rest of the house, great for us. This unit may not be for everyone, which might be why some don't like it. I love it and would buy another one.

I recently purchased this unit & so far I am totally satisfied with the cooling. Set up was pretty easy but you have to make sure that you measure your window correctly. I have read numerous reviews about this being very noisy or it's just a big fan but I would assume they just recieved a defective unit. This ac is no louder than a window unit & doesn't bother me at all. The only problem I have is the sleeve's for the hose were not in the box but I am in contact with the seller and they are on the way but other than that once I connected the unit & turned it on the unit quickly cooled my apartment with no problem...ps I purchased this unit @ air & water inc for $426 with free shipping and they also gave me a 3 yr warranty for free but I'm not sure if that deal still exists.
