We bought this to heat our steel products up prior to painting them and this little guy did the trick. Heats things up in a hurry and saves us in dry time after painting. It really blast the heat out, but keeps the flames totally contained. Great design. Definitely would recommend this for heating a pretty good size area in a hurry.

I got the heater over 2 weeks ago. The heater itself I would give 5 stars. The heater works just as advertised. The variable btu control works good and the thermostat does a good job of controlling on / off to maintin a good working temperature in my garage. Now the bad part. The propane hose that is supplied with the unit is junk! It is like a recoil spring that will not straighten out even when warmed. So bad that I will be replacing it with a better quality hose. I wrote to Mr. Heater over a week ago giving them a chance to make it right. I asked them to send me a better quality hose. Not even an email reply, And of course, no hose. If I had to rate the hose separately it would not get any stars. If you want a good heater, by all means buy this one but be prepared to replace the hose.

This is a awesome heater for what I needed. I puts out ton of heat. You must be careful with it as you would any heater especially a forced air heater. The temp control is awesome and it ran for quite some time with a 20lb cylinder. I ran (seemingly) forever on a 100lb cylinder. Would certainly recommend this product for anyone needing a portable heat source.

It is nice and light, not too big and works great. The controls work good and are easy to use. It will go through a 20 lbs cylinder, on the lowest setting, in less than 8 hours. It works good and has a lot less stink than a kerosene unit.

I wrote this review before but it wasn't published probably because of the low rating. It was ordered though Warehouse Deals and advertised as like new. It wasn't. It was smashed, cracked, and broken. It should have been thrown in the trash, not put back on the shelf. If this isn't posted, I will not rate or write another review on this website.

Reviews of Tayama Electric Cordless 1.2 Liter Stainless Steel Kettle

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99

Bought this about 6 weeks ago and use it almost every day to make tea or dissolve soup base. It heats 5 cups of room temperature water to boiling in 6 minutes and 20-something seconds. The max capacity is about 5-1/2 cups (1.2 L). I don't know if it boils water any faster than a kettle on the stove, but it's nice that it shuts itself off when the water boils. The on/off switch is on the top of the handle. There's an indicator light on the left side (handle to your right) to show that it's on.

The interior is stainless steel with the small exception of the sight tube. The plastic sight tube marked in liters faces the inside of the handle. The location makes it a little awkward to read the sight tube. Two small plastic rivets visible inside are the openings to the site tube and hold the handle on, but I don't detect any trace of a plastic taste. Only the bottom rivet is ever immersed in water. The top rivet is above the maximum capacity of the pot. That rivet and the sight tube are the only plastic parts that make direct contact with boiling water.

The base design allows the pot to be set in any direction on the base. I noticed the heating element is a semi-circle along the bottom of the pot towards the spout. This allows the water to set up a convection current from the hot front to the "cooler" back. I think that helps the water heat faster.

The pot makes a moderate roaring sound for a few minutes as the water above the heating element boils and the bubbles collapse, but it's not annoying. I find it pleasant. The water in the pot makes a satisfying bubbling sound just before the pot quietly switches itself off.

The plastic lid latches shut with a gentle push, and it's easily released in a natural motion by pulling with your thumb on the release at the top of the handle. The lid cannot be tilted back far enough to stay open, which I consider a small inconvenience when filling the pot.

I think the product could be improved if the sight tube were relocated to the side above the indicator light, made of glass instead of plastic, the rivets holding the handle were also stainless steel, and the lid could stay open to make filling a little easier. Also, if I were left-handed, I would like an indicator light on the other side of the pot when the handle is to the left and the right side is facing me. Add those improvements, and it won't sell as inexpensively as it does. There's always a trade off.

It's a nice looking pot that does it's job well.

FYI: Sept 13, 2011. The pot sprang a leak yesterday and I see no way to repair it. Seems to be leaking where the lower end of the sight tube exits the side of the pot. I'm not inclined to buy another Tayama, but I haven't made a decision.

Honest reviews on Tayama Electric Cordless 1.2 Liter Stainless Steel Kettle

I bought this kettle just a few months ago, and within the first month or so, it stopped shutting off automatically. We could live with that, but then last week it stopped turning on, which makes it just a tad more difficult to use. I cannot recommend this kettle. It's also got a kind of finicky capacity range you have to hit above the minimum and below the (not very generous) max, a bit of a bother. Skip it.

i'm disappointed that it won't shut-off. that makes it too dangerous for me to want to use. also, when you put down the pot after getting water the kettle stays on which is also hazardous in my book.

Cheap Fellowes Climate Control Footrest (8030901)

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Because I spend a lot of my day at my desk, I need to lift my feet periodically to change the pressure and position to ward off back pain. Until I got this footrest, I was resting my feet on a subwoofer under my desk, hardly the best option, although I cannot honestly say that this is better, just different.

The unit has a hard, knobby, plastic surface to massage your feet and vents through which a fan directs airflow. It has two heat settings (the high one is too hot for bare feet but okay when I wear socks) and a cooling fan that simply blows air. Although the product description claims that the height and angle are adjustable, it really has only two heights, an inch apart, and two angle settings, both of which are "adjusted" by folding out little feet on the bottom. You won't be able to adjust it precisely. The footrest is fairly lightweight, something that's both good and bad: good because I like to move it out of the way, but bad because it looks a little cheap, an issue if you plan to leave it in a highly visible place. Still, because of the angle, it doesn't move under my feet when I'm using it, even when I press against it.

The device does have a few flaws. The strongest airflow comes out of the center, between my feet . The air under my feet is essentially dissipated air, not as energy efficient or as effective as it would be if it had two fans, one under each foot, or a larger one. But I wouldn't want a stronger fan since the footrest makes enough noise as it is; I get irritable after a while of hearing it, but that may be because I like silence.

If you wear shoes all the time, this footrest will do nothing for you since the air won't reach your feet and the knobby surface won't massage your soles. If you, like me, wear socks or go barefoot, even in the winter, you'll be able to appreciate both the surface and the temperature control.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've never owned/used a footrest before. At least, not one designed as such. After years of using boxes and my computer's back up power source to prop my feet up, I finally got an Official Footrest. The heat and fan were just perks originally, but I have found that I rather like them and actually use them. The heater takes quite a while to heat up, but when it does it is nice and warm. The fan isn't cold, but it provides a nice breeze that helps me keep my temperature down.

I like the texture of the footrest, it keeps my feet from sliding off and can be used to massage one's feet :) The cord is short, which could be a problem for some people, but a little extension cord should fix that quite nicely. The climate controls are located at the front and center of the device, which I find very handy. I can turn it on and off with a flick of my foot! Unfortunately, changing the temp requires bending over and turning a dial.

The star off is for two reasons one, it is quite loud when running the fan or the heater, and two, there is no timer or automatic off. I haven't been using it long enough to accidentally leave it running, but I can see it happening after I've had it a while and gotten used to the noise.

So, if you are looking for a footrest and are picky about your foot temperature, then look no further! You have found the product for you!

UPDATE 12/12/11: Yeah. The heater is just awesome.

UPDATE 6/21/12: *Sniff* It broke. About a week ago. Neither the heater nor the fan are working. I think it is an electrical problem, since sometimes the light will go on and then off if the cord is twisted. I didn't do anything in particular to break it. I did tend to kick it around with my feet and this might have squished the cord. There is no visible damage though. I miss my heater :(

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was really eager to get this footrest unit under my desk and try it out. Admittedly, I have terrible posture. When I work at a desk all day, my body compresses in on itself leaving me with the most horrendous headaches. So any product that hints at relief is something that I'm willing to try.

However, I just don't think I appreciate the advantages of the product. It is so high off the ground, it feels more awkward then I had anticipated. You can do some adjustments, with effort, on the angle and tilt--but on height, you are stuck with the limitations of the product. I'd have liked the unit to have some give so that my feet might be able to manipulate it into a more beneficial position--but it's a big process to make slight and barely noticeable changes. Trust me, it's done nothing for my posture and I weary of it soon enough--kicking it out of the way after a short while. The surface is hard plastic and not particularly comfortable if you take your shoes off. Looking at the picture, it appeared more rubberized (hey, rubber with a little massage action, that sounds nice, maybe that's what I want!).

And lastly, there is the heating and ventilation component. Listen, I don't mind crawling on the ground to turn the settings but some might. The unit, itself, is plenty large enough--but due to design, only the middle part is connected to the air flow. So to even take advantage of this, you must press your feet together in the center as opposed to sitting in your own comfort zone.

An intriguing idea that suffers from fairly poor execution. While I may have gotten this product free to review, it is also something an idiot like me might have bought free and clear. I am the target market for these completely extraneous electronics, and I'm afraid I just don't get this one.

Honest reviews on Fellowes Climate Control Footrest (8030901)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Like most people here, I did not think it was completely necessary. I used it as a footrest for the most part, since I like to sit up higher to work on my computer and need some support on my feet to help with my back. It is fine. And yes, you can get a decent footrest for $10.

Last week I moved into a "penthouse office" while the AC was not installed yet. So the temp hit 87 before noon and I had the fan on from this little thing. It worked.

So now the AC is in and the temp is in the 50s in NYS what'a up with that? Anyway, my colleagues are shivering in their sweaters and my tooties are warm, thanks to this little devise. Who knew!

Onsite Pro FS125NPT Water Heater Shutoff, 1.25 Inch Valve Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchase this product from DIYcontrols a few weeks ago. The product comes with an on line installation guide and video for the product that are very helpful. When I had additional questions that the plumber needed to know prior to installation, DIYcontrols responded rapidly. For my particular water heater the copper pipes are soldered together and attach to the heater, which meant that I needed to buy a union, as well as male and female ends that could be connected to the devise and soldered to the existing pipe.

The first device arrived defective and the valve would not close; unfortunately, I already had a plumber at the house to install the device and DIYcontrols does not have effective weekend support, so I had the plumber leave. The following Monday Scott Walker from ONSITE PRO, the manufactor of the device, called me to find out what happened and was very appologetic and said that he would send me out a new one ASAP, which he did.

The new device worked exactly as advertised and the plumber was able to install it in a little over an hour without any difficulty.

I would rate the custer service at ONSITE Pro and integrity of their workers as outstanding.

In regard to the device, I recommend to plug it in prior to having a plumber come by the ensure it is functioning correctly; however, from most of the other reviews from other sites the valve sticking does not appear to be a normal issue so it shouldn't be a worry. If you are afraid of the valve sticking, either in the open or closed position due to the motor malfunction, there is a manual override so that the valve can be opened.

My plumber was impressed at the quality of the product and I think that having it is a great idea to prevent costly water damage.

Last winter, I owned a Lifesmart heater that was nearly $250.00. It was good, but did not have a timer that allowed the heater to turn on before I get out of bed or before I get home from work. Also, the heater I had a year ago was one of those bigger box heaters. On this site, some guy does a video review where he takes one of the bigger box heaters apart (to prove a point about the quartz), but what it shows is how much space is wasted inside the heater! There must be a thought process out there, where a bigger heater MUST deliver more and better heat. Not true, as this heater proves.

This heater is compact and delivers the same, if not more heat than the Lifesmart I owned last year. It is encased in hard plastic, but always remains cool to the touch. It easily and quickly adds the needed heat to my apartment allowing me to save on propane. Sure, as mentioned in another review, it beeps when you change the controls. But you know what else beeps? My microwave, my coffee maker, my washer and dryer...the list goes on and on.

I love that there are THREE power levels, with a super-saving feature that turns on when the thermostat reaches 68ºF. This heater DOES have the great timer that turns the heat on before I get up and before I get home. LOVE IT! Also, it's a perfectly compact size.

After going through SEVERAL Lasko heaters, and the uber-expensive Lifesmart that I bought (and returned) last year, this is by far the best heater I have ever owned for my purposes and would definitely buy another one just like it if I needed it. Also, shipping and delivery was extremely prompt and courteous from this seller (VM Innovations).

Quartz infrared heaters are so awesome. They are safe and they don't burn the air. We own a similar, much larger unit for our upstairs space. It's worked very well for years. This unit is tiny, quiet and very flexible. Low and high settings work perfect for not so cold or very cold temps throughout winter. At this price it's almost a steal!!

Honest reviews on Lifesmart Compact Power Plus 800 Square Foot Infrared Heater

In checking the reviews on a number of heaters I decided on this particular heater, and I think I made a good choice. There are several reasons I chose this heater. First it is compact. I need it for a small room, and I didn't want one of those large box heaters you see so much of. This is less than half the size of those larger units. Second, it uses quartz tubes. The nice thing about quartz tubes is that there is no odor. I have come across several heaters using ceramic elements (all by Lasko), and I would not recommend them as they all give off some kind of odor. I not sure if it is healthy to breath in this odor; sometimes the odor can be irritating to my throat and lungs. Thirdly, it heats my small office just fine. The room I use it in is about 12 x 10 feet.

I love all the features this unit comes with. It is thermostatically controlled, it has a remote control (which controls temperature, on/off, heat level, timer, and Celsius/Fahrenheit), a temperature readout, low heat (1000 watts), high heat (1500 watts), eco heat (sets temp at 68 degrees and uses 500 watts), and buttons that duplicate the remote. The unit retains the temperature and mode (high/low/eco setting) when turning the unit off. This is nice because I can just turn the unit on with the remote and it heats with the previous settings that I had input. The unit has a cool down period after you turn it off which extracts any remaining heat, or maybe it's a safety feature to cool the unit down. Some people had complained about this, but I don't see it as a problem. The outside of the unit always remains cool to the touch.

Some people have complained about the unit not heating their area. For the size room I have (12 x 10) it works just fine. I think the best use for heaters like this is to take the chill out of the room and not as a source of primary heat. Often I have it on for a short period of time, and then I shut it off because it is warm enough in the room. With all heater advertisements, you need to take the maximum heated room size specification with a grain of salt. There are many factors that determine if a given heater will provide sufficient heat for an area. For example, are there any openings into other rooms, is a stairway present in the room where the heat can rise, how many windows are in the area, are there any outside walls, how well insulated are the walls, how cold is it outside, etc. For a small unit like this, it should adequately heat an area of about 300 square feet; again, it depends.

Everything said, I like this heater enough that I bought another one for my bedroom.

This electric fireplace/heater was great until it completely fell apart under its own heat. It lasted about 2 or 3 weeks and then I noticed something looked wrong. I opened the door to investigate and the back plate had fallen forward. When I opened the door, the door is connected to a side plate and the whole thing just came off. When I looked at what had happened, I realized that underneath the exterior which is made to look like metal there is this stuff that looks like recycled cardboard. The heat just broke it down. And it just tore loose. When I tried to turn it over to find the serial number which the seller had requested, the fake logs that were on the bottom fell out. The whole thing just seemed to disintegrate from its own heat. The seller was decent and gave a refund and they will make the effort themselves of dealing with the manufacturer who did not readily respond. I have been buying through Amazon for over a decade and have never had a bad experience before. I have never had to return anything before. This is a completely defective product. I would not have given it one star but that is the lowest rating allowable.

I initially bought a used Dimplex DS5629 on eBay. It was shipped in the original packaging via FedEx. When it arrived, a leg was broken and the mirror inside had exploded -glass everywhere including in my finger. The seller was kind enough to give a total refund. After that experience, I warily ordered another new unit from Ozbo on Amazon Marketplace. I chose the seller because of price and proximity figuring that the less far it had to go, the less chance for trauma. I received the item promptly, again via FedEx, and actually witnessed the driver take the item off the truck, slinging the box upside down over his shoulder and then almost sitting it down on its side in my garage. My heart sank even though there was no external damage to the box. When I took the item out of the box, I was relieved to see that it grossly looked fine except that the logset was slightly disloged. I set it up in the bedroom and repositioned the logset. It worked perfectly. Settling back in a chair to enjoy the show, I noticed that there was an asymetrical reflection off the mirror. So I opened the door and noted that the mirror, which is held in place by grooves in the sides of the cabinet, was partially dislodged. This was because one of the sides of the cabinet was slightly displaced outwards at its top. The fact that two screws that hold the sides to the front top metal bracket were never put in might have contributed. So I carefully relocated the mirror into its grooves and pushed the side of the cabinet back into place, securing it with the missing screws in the front and further beefing up cabinet integrity by adding angle brackets between the cabinet sides and top on the inside of the cabinet. So now everything is secure and looks as it should.

There is no beef with the cosmetics of this item. It looks great, the heater works well, and the flame effect is outstanding. However had the mirror been totally disloged, this unit would have also been toast. This manufacturer needs to beef up cabinet integrity and/or packing and needs to VERY prominently display "Fragile" and "This Side Up" on the outside of the box so that FedEx won't sling it around like a sack of potatoes.

This heater is such a great addition to our cabin. It fits so nicely in the corner and we don't have to worry about any particular dementions from the wall. The front viewing are is large enough so you can view the ambience of the flames without having any extra grids to look past. It has a nice sheek look and is so easy to use. Comes with a remote which is great for keeping kids away from the controls and for distance. Puts off a good amount of heat from the fan that is on the bottom.

I looked at a number of poppers before I chose a different one. However, Amazon wasn't able to get that one shipped, so working with their customer service, I settled on this one. My 8 & 10 year old children helped me put it together. The instructions were disappointing, and not all the pieces lined up properly, but the finished product was secure and looked good.

We started with the Great Northern popcorn packs, and it make "good" popcorn. We experimented with some of our own blends of oil and seasonings, and we made "great" popcorn. The kettle gets messy and requires cleaning every couple of batches. The kettle lid seems to be an older design, where the lid is not attached to the kettle and slides up to the top where a magnet holds it in place. I would have preferred the lids that are attached to the kettle with a hinge. I have had to use some "kettle cleaner" for burned spots, but it does the job quickly. The rest of the popper has cleaned up well with warm water (sometimes with vinegar added).

Overall I would recommend this popper, but understand that it is not 5 star perfect.
