This is the second one I have bought. First one lasted 5 yrs plugged in 24/7. Husband took it apart and found burnt broken element inside. Should have had it on a timer to dry a few hrs a day; will do that with new one. It is cheaper now by $150 so not so hard to replace it . Also needed to match up mounting bracket hardware on the wall. Getting same one solved that. Also getting an 8 bar for our mtn cabin SPOILED!!!

This towel rack is very pretty.

It's smooth, so it does not snag delicates.

It does not get as warm as I would like it to. The towel is not really warm, and is only warn in places, not all over.

It does not seem to dry delicates any faster than the air, but at least it is a smooth place to hang them.

The main drawback is that I bought this specifically because it was plug in, and so I thought would not require any wiring.

However, my contractor told me that because of the voltage/wattage he had to change the wiring in my wall to accommodate it.

If you order it, check with your electrical person first to make sure you will not have to pay extra money to have your outlet rewired.

Had another towel warmer previously which was mediocre at best. I had hoped the Myson Diamond 12 bar would be good but it has exceeded my expectations. My bath sheets are toasty through and through and the Diamond 12 bar has enough room for hand towels and wash cloths as well. Very well designed.

I had a smaller portable towel bar that worked well, but only held one towel. On this one we can hang two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths.

I spent hours searching for the right buffet server and the Oster did not disappoint! The much larger trays will fit all the food you need for entertaining, you won't be hurting for space with this model. I had food out for my son's birthday for over 5 hours and everything stayed warm. I used it a few days later for a build your own fajita party outside and no problems keeping food warm on a table outside. It's a large piece but with it's size you won't be hurting for room to serve all your food at once. I'm glad I bought this and plan to put it to good use over the holidays. No more lukewarm meals!

Either way works great, keeps the food warm even if you have it set on low temp.

Honest reviews on Oster CKSTBSTW00 Buffet Server, Stainless Steel

No more juggling side dishes in and out of oven trying to make sure everything is warm. No runs to microwave to heat a plate.

I tried putting food in from fridge and after about 2 hours was luke warm so I put the sides in the oven to heat them up then transferred them into the buffet server and put on high.

Kept everything warm, burnt dressing a little on bottom so I would say leave on low if you have already heated your sides.

Did not give it 5 stars because there was no opening in the top for serving spoons.

Overall very pleased with purchase and price.

I have several Oster brand products and love each one. Since I cook in large quantities and entertain often it's SO helpful to have the 'right' products. The Oster stainless stell buffet server IS one of those 'right' products!

It is a piece of cake (no pun intended) to set up, fill up, use and clean up! One tip put food in warm / hot NOT cold. This buffet server will keep your food warm and at the perfect setting for hours but it will not heat it up / cook it / burn it like some others will. I love it and I have have used it several times already. I can see using it often for many years to come.

Good product. Fast cooling. Very efficient The only faults is that it does not have an automatic shut down when the room reaches the desired temperature. Also, it was a little didficult to install, since the screws were so small and had to be placed in very tight surroundings. Also the directions on installation were not clear

Just recieved the unit today. Installing the top bar on it was odd, and more difficult than it needed to be, the screws didn't seem to grip to the main unit. Otherwise installation was easy. When you look through the louvers you can see light through the back of the unit, which doesn't seem right to me. And you can see the styrofoam that lines the unit quite well both through the louvers and through the back. So thats where they saved some $$. With the styrofoam exposed like that I don't think I'd leave the unit in the window to brave a New York winter. It also doesn't appear to be airtight. It does get the room cool. The fan speeds are high, higher and blastoff. Not really a 'low' option, and its not quiet but I like white noise when I sleep anyway.

My next unit will have to have a remote though, and a digital temperature guage which this does not have. But that's for a richer time and a better economy. Until then, this one will work fine.

I chose this particular model because it did not have all the fancies. Who needs another remote?? I live in a cottage with large rooms and very high ceilings. I just put this unit in the window, and I am a 60 y.o woman with a bad back and yes, I put it in alone! Naturally, I am sweating because I JUST put it in the window. I am in the back of my house and I feel it already way back here! It has only been operating maybe 10 minutes. In the reviews from others, some said this unit is noisy. I hear it but would hardly call it noisy. This is an outstanding buy! I was a little worried about ordering an item like this online and once again Amazon came through like a champ. Item was delivered in 2 business days. I let it sit at the door for a week waiting for someone to put it in for me. Yesterday's 85 degree temp made me give it a shot. I am proud of me! I made a good purchase and installation was a snap! Thanks Amazon, love you much!

This is a great little air conditioner for the price. The only thing I wish it had is a thermostat to regulate the temperature. You must continually turn it on and off by hand to keep the room at the right temp. It does a great job though.

I originally wrote a good review for this. After a couple of weeks, I am writing another one.

It is noisy, the compressor sounds like someone fired a gun next door when it kicks in and it seems like it is always kicking in or out. I am going to return this one if possible, if not I will sell it to someone I don't like. The fan is noisier on low than my GE's from home depot are on high. If you like the price, and don't mind noise buy this one. It also does not have a remote, I should have read closer and the temp. control is touchy, hot, move it a little and freeze. Nothing good to say. I just ordered a sharp 8,000 for around $30 more and it has energy saver, timer and remote. I buy a LOT from Amazon and this is the second item I have not liked and both were my fault for being a cheapskate. Amazon is wonderful and anyone that has shopped on line knows that for sure. Not Amazons fault, but they will probably send me a label to ship it back and it won't cost me a dime. They are always within a buck or two if they don't beat the competition straight up and the free shipping is free both ways if you buy from Amazon. Love Amazon.

Next day comment.

I called Amazon and told them about the problems with this product and that it was past the time window for return. They said "no problem" and sent me a prepaid mailing label. I also asked if it was OK to wait until the new one I ordered last night got here and got the same answer. I checked and the new one I ordered last night is already shipped. Love Amazon.

UPDATE

Less than two weeks after returning the prepaid package I got confirmation today that my credit card has been credited with the total amount of my order. My new AC is working great and Amazon has come through again. This is still a lousy product, but that is the great thing about Amazon, if you make a mistake the make it better.

This timer works just fine. It is replacing the same model that recently failed... after 10 YEARS!! We use this timer between 4-6 hours every night in the spring and summer months for our whole house fan.

My only gripe and reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I was shipped a silver face timer rather than the ivory timer as pictured. Fortunately I have the old ivory face so no real harm.

What a co-incidence that you sent this request for a review. I received the email on Sunday, Aug. 28th, 2011; and the timer had failed the night before. We use it to control an attic fan that is timed to shut off at approximately 3:00AM. The fan ran all night long, and the timer dial was still in the same place it was originally set.

I bought a pair of these in early 2011 for around $30 when I ran out of heating oil, and I was and still am amazed at how well they worked.

A year later, the same exact thing happened. The last of the oil burned up last night, and by this morning the temperature in my house was 58 degrees and falling. I turned on both of these fans to keep the house comfortable, and the temperature in the largest room in the house rose from 58 to a toasty 66 in about an hour and a half.

I would gladly have paid twice as much as I did for the results that these beastly little heaters produce. Considering it's been cheaper recently to use electric heat than it is to use oil heat, I've never been happier with a $30 purchase.

Description says brushed metal but it is really plastic. Face plate is also a bit oversized. Probably fine for single box/plate installation, but my application was in a double plate switch cover and this plate would not work with double plate. Older timer models bought before had a smaller plate that sit into indent where normal toggle switch sat. They were also white, not brushed metal color. Fortunately I was upgrading my 60 minute timer to this 6 hour timer, so I relabeled the numbers on my old smaller white 60 minute timer plate to work. Otherwise timer works great.

I would give it 5 stars but the FACE PLATE in Plastic, NOT BRUSHED METAL as advertised. I think seller should change description as others have complained and nothing is done about it.

I got this for my patio in Costa Rica and the people there usually leave the lights on 24/7 since during the day, they don't realize the lights are on. It gets dark around 6 year around in C.R. and with the 6 hour timer, it tells them to get to bed and not stay up all night playing. Overall a great timer and great invention. I have owned many of these over the years and I have found the longer the maximum time interval, the shorter the life of the timer. This is my first 6 hour timer. Let's see how it last compared to a 12 hour timer.

I had a 30 year old in the wall timer that stopped working. This one seemed to be nearly identical (except I went from an old 12 hour timer to this new 6 hour timer). The item functions properly, but the description is wrong. The cover plate is *not* brushed metal, it is grey plastic. My old 12 hour timer had a brushed metal cover plate, so I wanted the same for the replacement. Somewhat disappointed about this. And no, I cannot use my old cover plate because I changed from a 12 hour timer to a 6 hour timer (half the price not sure why). One star deducted for the misleading description/title.

we bought two of these heaters a long time ago, one for our garage and one to warm our chilly bedroom with a bad radiator.

they worked great, nice and warm, (the way we like it) then our one in the garage stopped working and burnt out in the flood (hurricane sandy when we had no power) we found that out when it came back on, so we tossed out the old one and used the good one (which was in the bedroom) that one worked great until my husband was in the garage and my son came to give him some papers. he accidentally kicked the holmes heater off the stool and onto the concrete floor. he tried to put it back on heat level one, but what happens?...... It starts making a GRINDING noise and emitting a horrible burning smell. so he unplugged it for ten minutes and let my 10 yr old open it up and saw that the fan belt somewhat damaged and the blade just wobbling loose inside witch caused the fan not to function right and that caused the heating coil to overheat.

I hope you find my review helpful! I still do give this heater five stars cause it's not the heater's fault, we broke it. BUT if you want to try what my son did about fixing it, UNPLUG THE UNIT FIRST!!! For at least 10 minutes.

thanks

I love my litte cottage but it has no fireplace and only electric heat. That fact did not bother me until a couple of years ago when my neighborhood was without power for a week following a severe winter storm. Both me and my house survived the ordeal (thankfully no broken pipes despite temperatures in the 20's) but I swore I would be ready for the next one. And so the hunt for an altnerante heat source for emergencies began. I considered a wood stove but as someone who grew up with a wood stove I can tell you that despite the stylishly charming photos in the magazines they have their draw backs: they are messy, often burn too hot, expensive, and in my case they take up space my little cottage just did not have. Plus where do I store the fire wood?

This item was the perfect alternative.

First off, the antique bronze finish looks terrific, it looks both classic and modern at the same time. But let me tell you about the warmth. The flame heats up the metal and the metal radiates heat in every direction -fast! I definitely recommend a portable fireplace. I was surprised just how much heat this thing puts out. You can use it in fireplace mode with the gel fuel or put candles in it for every day use. The fuel is affordable but not cheap. Figure 2 cans at $2.50 each for a 3 hour burn. I use it occasionally for those times during the holidays when I want the charm of an open fire. Plus when the power goes out again I will be ready.

The gel fuel burns with more moisture in the air so don't be surpised if your windows steam up. This gets 5 stars in my book!

This really will give you some warmth if you live in an apartment or condo or small space. The fire really crackles and sounds like a real burning fireplace. Cool idea.

Best Deals on Southern Enterprises Portable Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace

I have to say it's nice looking, lightweight and does its job. I don't think it gives off quite as much heat as I'd like and it doesn't last very long, about two hours, with two cans. (But that's more of a complaint about the fuel, which is expensive by the way.) The unit is overpriced for what it is since it just houses the cans and flames. Maybe its metal case does help with the movement of heat but really it is just a metal case with cute glass windows and two wells for holding cans. I would really be impressed if it was priced more reasonably like $40.

Honest reviews on Southern Enterprises Portable Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace

The concept of alcohol-gel indoor fireplaces was a revelation for me, living in a small apartment without a fireplace. It enlivens the atmosphere while providing a small amount of heat. This model was very reasonably priced compared to others I saw, but I agree with another reviewer that it's ultimately an overpriced piece of metal. Still, other models were more expensive, so I feel it was worth it.

After installing a larger three burner version in a friend's condo (see my review of SEI Black Arch Top Wall Mount Gel Fuel Fireplace) I wanted one for our place, and liked the fact that this one could be moved around to different rooms. Couldn't be happier!

Hint: It is not necessary to use the included adhesive mounting tape for the glass panels, as they will not come out unless the entire unit is inverted. Leaving them loose allows for easier cleaning down the road.

I bought this based on the other 2 user reviews, and now I'm convinced these were created by the manufacturer.

There's nothing positive I can say about this product, but as for the negatives...

It has barely any effect on the room temperature when set to air-cooling mode.

It's extremely loud and obnoxious. Seriously, it sounds just like an idling lawn mower.

Emits a nasty, exhaust-like smell.

Save yourself the time and money, you really don't want this product at any price.

EDIT (6/10/11): My suspicions about the other 2 reviewers (Ken Manning, Dave Martin) at the time of my purchase can be confirmed by their reviewing and tagging history. Look for yourselfBoth have only reviewed this product (with a raving positive review of course), and have tagged every Whynter product with an assortment of positive/descriptive adjectives. Ken Manning even went so far as to tag several competing products as "defective" and "not cold". Well, I know what brand NOT to trust now.

After reading the other reviews, my story is hardly unique here. The product worked (marginally, I might add) for about 3 weeks before beginning one night to emit a deafening, grinding noise. I disassembled the whole thing to see if I could figure out the problem. Didn't help. I emailed Whynter customer service and after several back and forth exchanges with basically useless ideas to fix it, I got a return authorization to send it back. I heard absolutely NOTHING from them for over six weeks until I basically hounded them about the whereabouts of my unit. After TWO MONTHS of waiting, it finally arrived again. I plugged it in and was greeted by...THE SAME HORRIBLE NOISE! After over two months, they fixed absolutely nothing. It sucks. They suck. Do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Honest reviews on Whynter 5 in 1 Evaporative Air Cooler (HAC-100S)

Whynter Air Cooler/Heater/Humidifier

Timeframe: 2 months

My usage conditions: 51F to 78F, Humidity 60% to 80%

Functions used: Heater, evaporative air cooler, humidifier.

Design:

I selected this primarily for the design and color scheme. I did not want another white/beige appliance or some psychedelic blue or pink candy painted device. Conventionally shaped and subtle in overall appearance. Top marks.

Functionality: The Whynter air cooler is a misnomer, while it does a solid job cooling a 150square foot space, it does a whole lot more than cool. The heat was nice to have when the temperature dipped and the humidity control is very useful when dealing with dry air resulting from heater use. Intuitive and easy to control. The water tank at the base take a bit of jiggering to slide in and out but otherwise I do not have any issues with it. The filters built into the unit do provide some degree of purification. My room air purifier lasted about 30% longer before the indicator light came on. It is light weight and portable, but be careful when you move it with the water tank filled.

Quality:

Well built with softtouch controls. The remote control was responsive and fit nicely into the attached holster on the unit. Material is were primarily plastic. Easy to clean and maintain. Pre-filter is easily removed and cleaned. No fuss device.

Price:

Quite reasonable for all that it does. I would take this over 3 or 4 separate devices any day.

Overall:

One of my better purchases this year. top scores across the board.

Whynter Eco-Friendly 5 in 1 Evaporative Air Cooler (HAC-100S)

Never quite experienced an air cooler before, it is decidedly a good product that does well for the price. This unit does a good job cooling at a fraction of the cost of an air conditioner and without the power consumption or setup needed. Don't expect the room to cool down significantly, air coolers don't work that way. This provides superior comfort in a 15ft radius.

In fact, I prefer to have this on compared to an air conditioner on dryer days.

I'm not an uber technical person but from my understanding, what it does is to use water to and the cooling effect of an evaporative process. This is especially useful for sensitive or dry skin. Currently used in the bedroom but am adding an additional unit in the den.

Not real setup is required, just fill the unit with water and set it on, it makes an odd noise when the water bucket is empty but just fill it up again and you'll be fine. The louvers are a little flimsy but can be popped back into place quite easily. It's easy to move around and small enough to put in most spaces. Oh, and it comes with handy heater mode too.
