For $26 its definitely worth the money. The temperature control isn't exactly the most accurate. You don't have a temperature scale just markings from off to hi. There are two heater settings, lo and hi. The heater fan is a little noisy in comparison to the honeywell heater. Honeywell HZ-7200 Cool Touch Oscillating Heater w/ Smart Energy Digital Control Plus

But for half the price its a pretty good deal. However if you want a quieter heater go for the honeywell.

Runs real hot or not at all. With control knob set half-way it blasts out hot heat then turns itself completely off. If I try to reduce the heat, it doesn't turn on at all. I'm oscillating between very cold (it's off) and overly hot (it's on). Will return it and spend more money on something that can be controlled.

I ordered this item because we have them in my office & they are very efficient and effective. I use it as a space heater in my bathroom because my bathroom pipes often freeze in the winter. I haven't had this problem since I started using the heater.

Honest reviews on Jarden Patton Milkhouse Heater

i purchased this item because of unseasonably cold weather in south fl.i own two patton heaters purchased some years ago,one at k mart, the other at target.both seem well built and have worked very well. most stores were sold out of space heaters,so amazon.com seemed like a good alternative. i have no problem with amazon.com or the seller, . the product was shipped promptly and boxed very well.the problems with the new heater were,top two sheet metel screws to attach the handle fell thru the pre drilled holes, two of six screws holding the back housing on were stripped out, two of four rivets attaching the fan motor housing had pulled out. i compared the other two heaters i bought years ago to the new one,the one difference was machine screws holding the top handle on, not sheet metal screws. i needed the heater so i repaird the problems myself. bottom line is i never again will buy patton products [unless they start manufacturing there product in the U. S. A. as they should be]. I do not recommend this product.

These little heaters used to be very good. I would buy one about every three years because after that long the plug would start to get hot. I would just replace it with another one. The last one I bought the plug got hot after about 10 minutes use so I took it back. The replacement was worse. After 10 minutes use it was almost to hot to touch. They have obviously reduced the wiring size to a dangerous size. I would not recommend them now to anyone. They could start a fire, I think, if left on for an hour. I still have one I've used during the winter for the past two years and it does not get hot after using all day long.

I bought this UFO heater last winter for my infant son's room. The remote control was a nice touch (you can operate the heater from the door of the room without having to enter and wake your sleeping child). I am very satisfied with the amount of heat that this unit produces. It warms his 14x12 room comfortably in minutes rather than hours with a pelonis heater that I had previously used. On cold nights, I set the heat setting to 3, then adjust it down after my son falls to sleep. This heater on high(5) can easily raise the temperature in the room by 10 degrees or more in what feels like a heartbeat. Considering the UFO's powerful heat, I was unsure how much energy it was using. So I purchased a Kill-A-Watt tester here on Amazon last month. Upon testing my usage and duration with the Kill-A-Watt, I calculated that this UFO heater had used about $6.75 worth of electricity in during the 8 day trial. Wow! Impressive, under $25 per month in the winter months to keep my son's room comfortable! UFO heaters have one happy customer. I have already purchased one for my brother as a gift and bought a second one to be installed in the kid's playroom in my basement. Thanks again, UFO!

This heater works well. I was leary of the "orange glow" but this is not a problem. It is compact, makes no noise, heats up quickly (as in 10 seconds). It seems well made and I am glad I got the remote control version. Mounting was no problem. I looked at infrared heaters extensively, and this one is a better price, uses a standard plug (not hard wired), and is better looking. Be aware that if you are not in the direct path of the light, you don't feel the heat. Mounted at 7' high, it casts out about 7 feet, but the first 2 feet directly under the unit you feel NO HEAT. If I had another circuit, I would put two heaters up for better coverage.

My background is mechanical engineering and this product surprised me with its quality in design and technology.

I bought one for my garage and another one for my sunroom.

I am sure from a consumer standpoint many people would not notice some of the details I see. I think the most impressive technology is

the amount of heat the unit supplies from its filament considering the low 1,500 Watt and the strong reflector behind the filament is definitely helping not to waste the 360 degree infrared.

The number one concern for most consumers is the savings; if you like to find out how much it will cost you to run this heater, find out from your local power provider the cost of

1 kilowatt/hour then multiply it by 1.5 The result will give you the total cost of running this heater for one hour at its maximum level. You should keep in mind, you will probably not use the heater at its maximum level at all times. Compared to other infrared heaters, the unit provides much more heat, in a way that can be converted into more savings. You will more likely reduce the heat level, consuming less power.

During cold temperature, it is almost impossible to heat our sunroom, it takes hours to heat the space. I love to read and enjoy our sunroom. I placed one of the heaters in our sunroom. Once I seat down, I turn the heater at its maximum for about 10-15 minutes, once it gets warm enough I reduce it to level 3(1,200Watt) then level 2(1,050Watt). At level 2, it is still supplying 1,050Watt.

My two cents...

Honest reviews on UFO UK-15 Electric Mid-Wave Infrared Heater with Remote Control

This is a solid and well built heater that will probably last a long time. On/off control is via semiconductor so it should be more reliable than mechanical switches. The large chassis stays cool enough that I don't worry about heat damage to objects behind it. The major downside is that heat is emitted as a wide horizontal beam. The heater may not be turned on its side or aimed directly down. It's comfy if you're lying on a couch and it's passable for sitting, but it's not a good match standing. Standing in a cold garage, it cooks your head and shoulders closer than 1m but is not very warm past 1.5 meters. With a power output of only 1400W (measured), a more focused beam is required.

I purchased an amish infrared heater two years ago. They were advertised great however it took too long to heat a room. Last year two of the bulbs died and it was a hassle to get them replaced.

Last year we didn't have much of a winter then, so I decided not to buy a new heater. After some good research this year, I purchased the remote control UFO, so far very happy with it. The immediate heat is pretty impressive, wherever you point the heater you can feel it. Once my husband got a grip of it, he bought another one for his garage. He mounted it on top of his workshop area. The heater is light to move around, I can even lift it with one arm. It is cheap to run(this was an important feature for our household).

The timer works great, I want to buy one more to put it in our bathroom wall, facing the faucets. Early morning the bathrooms are freezing cold, with the timer set 6:00am(when I wake up) the bathroom would be toasty for me :)

This is exactly what is says it is. It connects a throwaway propane tank to a 1/4 inch female pipe thread. Works well; the only thing you have to keep in mind is the pressure of the gas. The gas inside propane tanks is under high pressure, so you'll most likely need a pressure regulator.

This fan is okay. It warms a cold, marble bathroom on a cold morning. I would expect that the fan would allow directional changes via a baffle but it does not. It was installed in an area of the bathroom ceiling that could accommodate it if the direction of the warming could be adjusted it would be all that much better. If only I had known to look for that as an option -don't know if I'd have found a product that could direct the heat. It was hard enough to find something that would just heat a medium sized bathroom.

Cheap Source Green Heat 1800 Sq Foot Infrared Quartz Heater Made By Life

Source Green Heat 1800 Sq Foot Infrared Quartz Heater Made By Life Smart
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

This heater is a lot cheaper than most other similiar models that are out there on the market. It works really well. It's quiet and it heats two rooms of my house very easily. I don't sleep with it on, but I wouldn't do that with any other electric heater. This one has a timer, though, which is good whenever I'm drowsy.

I have no complaints with this item. I purchased it at Wal-mart and not on Amazon, though. I simply wanted to avoid the shipping costs, etc. I priced it at Lowe's and it was ridiculously overpriced! The one listed here on Amazon is about $10 cheaper than mine, but I'm sure the shipping will more than make up for it.

Again, great heater! It does exactly as advertised! You won't be disappointed with it. Don't expect it to heat an entire home, but two or more adjacent rooms is fairly easy work for it, and I'm sure your indoor pets will have no complaints snuggling near it. It's safe to touch, too. The wheels on bottom of it make it easy to reposition without lifting.

I had doubted this heater when it first came. I thought there is no way.. BUT This little heater heats my kitchenliving roomand hallwayI don't know how big it is sq ft wise but I know its not small... in all fairness.. I also made sure of my windows doors and everything was perfectly sealed... It might take a little while to heat all of this if its real real cold... but I am not complaining as it does manage to keep all of this space warm.. No other heater could do it... this one did.. thats what matters.. mine actually broke within a week of having it but it only took an e-mail and they are sending me a new one AND a return label to send back the one that broke.. which means I don't pay the shipping for the broken heater AND They sent it as soon as they knew of the issue NOT when they received the broken heater... this seller is absolutely the best to deal with...

I read the reviews and thought no way. But they were right! This does not heat up a room adequatley.I ran this for hours and hours the room barely got warm then I ran a cheap ceramic heater that did a much faster job heating up my area. The area is well insulated and only 3 years old new construction. The only thing I could say is if you buy this use it in conjunction with ur current heating system or bring the room up to temp then use it to maintain the temp. Other than that DONT BUY IT.

Nice heater, better than most I have bought and returned. Plugged it in and it kicks out the heat, then I read the manual. It is supposed to be plugged into an outlet that is on it's own breaker (dedicated) which I dont have so I would call it not useable unless I want to start a fire as this was in fire precautions. Works well otherwise.

This AC was bought to replace an old 23,500 BTU thru the wall unit. I installed this myself in the same place where that old AC was. Install was rather easy, and I am not sure why people are saying that it was difficult or confusing. NOTE THAT YOU NEED A 220V OUTLET FOR THIS AC!!

First, the people who say that this AC is noisy must not have installed it properly. For its size and power, this unit is very quiet. There are no rattling sounds or anything of the like. Second, despite this being 5,000 BTU less than the unit it replaced, this unit cools very well. We have had a few 100 degree days already this year, and this AC had no problem dealing with them! The people who complain that it doesnt cool well likely received bum units and should return them.

The AC comes with a remote which is very easy to use. One cool feature is that the remote has its own temperature sensor and you can have the AC keep the temp at a constant level based upon either the temp at the AC unit itself or where the remote is. So I can leave the remote in a different room and have it use the sensor in the remote to keep the temp in that room at a constant.

THIS AC IS THE BEST DEAL IN ITS COOLING CLASS; DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY IT!

This is a pretty quiet AC. In the past 20 years, its the quietest one we've had, which is important as its installed next to a TV set. Cools well but honestly any 18000 BTU AC would in my situation as its oversized for my small house. The controls are easy to use and the thermostat is accurate. You have to realize the temp reading it is receiving is at the source, so if its set to 72, in the middle of the room it will stay more like 75 and closer to even 80 as you get by a wall. Keep that in mind. Installing was about typical for this type heavy AC. I also noticed it reduces humidity rather well. I am very content with this AC.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA186MT2 18,500 BTU Window-Mounted Median Air

I installed this unit in a house in the Outer Banks of NC. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the performance – not only did it quickly cool the area but it also substantially reduced the humidity. The room in which the unit was installed is an open kitchen/dining/living floor plan and it approximates 550 to 600 sq ft. The unit cooled this area with no problem and actually managed to cool the 3 bedrooms in the back part of the house (about 1,100 sq ft in total). One of the back rooms is a little stuffy, but I think the installation of a ceiling fan will help. Another positive – the noise is not the least bit distracting even with the fan operating on high.

Now the "but"

It took more time than I would have liked to install not due to error on my behalf, but due to poor assembly on the behalf of Frigidaire. Once installed, I turned the unit on only to be greeted with an incredibly loud thumping/clanking/metallic noise and ridiculous vibration. Upon further investigation, I realized that several connecting screws were missing on internal components (i.e. parts that were supposed to be connected, but absent the screw to do so). In addition, a massive glop of plumbers' putty or similar substance was stuck to the fan causing the fan to be off balance (the reason for the excessive vibration). I was extremely aggravated because I really shouldn't have to perform the final steps of assembly or conduct my own product quality check.

The "unfinished" condition in which the product arrived is the reason I rated this product at four stars and not five.

I have only used this unit for a few days but it appears to be working better than I originally anticipated. All other aspects of the transaction (shipping, etc.) went as expected.

I bought this one last year, two panels and it works great for North Dakota. However, one of the ends is leaking now so I have to find a good epoxy or something to repair it. I also had to "rig it" for the Intex Pump. I would recommend a solid panel.

Best Deals on Poolmaster 59010 Above Ground Pool Solar Heating Panels

I connected the product as instructed, once I turned my pump on it immediatly blew the end off a brand new 35foot hose. I had added two of these hoses to get the panels into the sun. I replaced the blown hose, and tried again, this time it worked for a couple days, but leaked at the ends where the hoses connected to the panels. After a couple days running one of the panels ruptured from the amount of pressure. I didn't know it ruptured and it ended up draining my pool.

Honest reviews on Poolmaster 59010 Above Ground Pool Solar Heating Panels

I must preface that I have a Master's degree in chemistry with a minor in physics. I believe I have a better than average mechanical ability. Also, until ordering from this manufacturer, I have used another manufacturer's panels for 5 years.

For me, this product has failed on 3 accounts:

The most serious problem is that while I could easily connect the three segments on one end using their bayonet-style connector design, I could not connect any of the three segments together on the other end (1). The instructions were not explicit as how to connect the panels, presuming it to be obvious to the assembler (2).

The third problem was that extra assembly hardware was present and needed assembly hardware was absent.

As it comes delivered this thing is a completely worthless leaking fire hazard that will ruin your bottles you are trying to fill as well as the bottle you are filling with.... Being a Marine Engineer I had all the tools to make this piece work, but at a low hourly rate it would have cost me $60.00 to make this thing useable.... The outer threads needed machined to fit this in the filling bottle first, just to find out that the stem inside was machined wrong and slicing the tiny seals in my one pound bottles to be filled, so fixed that next just to find out that the red sealing gasket for the one pound bottles in this thing is not a gasket at all and leaked more propane than it put in the bottles.... So.... then I had to make a proper sealing gasket as well.... One thing after another, should have just sent it back when I noticed the first problem I guess, but, hours later and I have this this thing re-machined and gasketed so that it actually works, and it only ruined one of my one pound bottles.... My advice is do not buy any one of these that has a red sealing surface inside that mates up with your one pound bottles, my guess is that there a lot of places re-branding this one bad unit with the red sealing surface inside so check the pictures....

After reading the low star ratings, I was hesitant in ordering this. But I decided to give it a try. When I received it, I tried it out going against the suggestions about freezing the bottles. The propane leaked and did not fill the bottle at all. I thought "Son of a crap, it's not going to work." But after putting the bottles in the freezer for a couple of hours and trying it again, it worked better than expected. I had the source tank upside down and it caused the neck of the disposable to bend a little because of the fast temperature change and the weight of the propane going into the bottle pulling it down. (That's my guess why) So next time I will try laying the source tank on its side. That will also help keep any particles that were in the source tank from going in.
