First of all, ignore the one star review. If you can't take time to research what you intend to buy, then you deserve to be dissapointed.

I installed this heater along with a basic honeywell thermostat in my bedroom. I live in an old home, so heating is a pain. Being only 1000 watts, it doesn't heat super fast, but I can definitively say that it can get and maintain a much more comfortable room temp than the fan forced heater it replaced. Being that it is mounted onto the wall, it is completely out of the way.

The unit seems well made and so far I haven't had any issues with it. Even when the thermostat turns it on full heat, it is silent And makes no creaking sounds. The quiet even heat is absolute bliss when I lay down to rest for the night. I had gotten use to fan heaters so much that now it is almost eerie how quiet the room is.

With my experience having this heater, im going to be buying more of their heaters.

Honest reviews on Cadet Manufacturing 05534 120-Volt White Baseboard Hardwire

This 'Cadet' stuff is a misrepresented farce. It should be in a building supply online store and not in home products. People are looking here in 'amazon' for a unit with a thermostat that they can plug into a wall socket and get heat not for a partially assembled non-functioning unit that will need a thermostat and special tools and skill to hopefully work. It doesn't plug into a wall socket, you need to connect 'supply wires' to it! just look at what is required to get a 'Cadet' baseboard heater to work at . In the video it states that if you are not able to assemble this yourself, you should get a licensed electrician to do it. Oh yes, at $50/hr! the electrician would wind up costing more than the unit! I am used to buying something that states what you are getting, this unit description states what you are NOT getting with an ambiguous 'no' that could be mistaken for 'number'. This company apparently floods an online store with partially assembled non-functioning items that can be listed at a lower price and overshadow the few really good working items. I sent the 'heater' and 'thermostat' back for a refund and bought a somewhat higher priced functioning unit that came with a thermostat and wall socket power cord and gave me good heat right away.

Personal Mini Fridge Cooler / Warmer BLACK Review

Personal Mini Fridge Cooler / Warmer BLACK
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I thought that this would be a good gift for my brother-in-law's home office. He always likes a cool drink at hand. First of all I didn't particularly care about the condition when it arrived. It definitely didn't look new with a number of fingernail scratches on the top in the handle area although the box it came in seemed unmolested and the packing seemed original. The black finish also looked hazy. This product is also billed as an "office" cooler but the inside caution sheet said that it had to be turned off after a few hours "or damage will occur". Their description here at Amazon says 10 hours but I don't recall seeing that when I ordered this as a Christmas gift. So you have to babysit this thing all day to make sure it doesn't die? Not much of a "office" cooler. It is also a bit noisy with the fan in the back being loud. It uses the same fan as your average computer case so you'd think it would be about as loud as that. But it's louder.

Overall, I wouldn't do this product again for what I intended, keeping drinks cool at the office. Maybe for the car or something but it's really kind of stupid design for that use.

Unbelievable. My wife and I needed something on the same floor as our baby's room. And then after about 3 months of use, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! We had a dinner party and I smelled smoke! It was just about to burst into flames and I caught it. It made some kind of high-pitched buzzing noise and then lit up like a fuse. Good thing it was 6P in the afternoon! Craziness. And the sh-t is made in China, so good luck getting a refund.

They don't make it very clear, but there IS a time limit on this mini fridge. It says in Amazon's listing that you can't run it for more than 10 hours or "damage may occur." It should be made more obvious in the packaging and labeling that you can only use it for short times. I think 10 hours is being generous, since performance seems to slow earlier than that. Works okay for very short times, but that's all.

Honest reviews on Personal Mini Fridge Cooler / Warmer BLACK

Although it is exactly the size as advertised, I was a bit surprised at how small it was. I wanted something a bit bigger. However, I am finding I prefer its small stature. It is perfect for use in my office as it fits nearly anywhere and also great for travel, which I do quite frequently. It keeps my son's milk cold enough, which is why I purchased it. I have not yet used the heating feature. Just be careful: the black box on the cord can get hot.

Things you need to know before buying:

I used a regular pot with a pour spout 3 months before I purchased this kettle. The following points are based primarily on the differences I noticed between the regular pot and the kettle.

1. The pour control with the kettle is VASTLY superior to the control you get with a product with a normal "spout" area. The kettle's thin spout and long distance the water has to travel gives you a small, smooth stream in which to pour on your coffee grounds.

2. Because of the points in #1, the kettle allows you to pour water over the coffee smoothly and at a consistent pace, therefore giving you an EVEN extraction of your coffee, which translates to a nice, consistent taste in your cup. This is what you're going for.

3. The kettle holds enough water for about 5 regular cups of coffee (i.e. it holds ~40 ounces of water). I own the 40oz Chemex coffee maker, so for me, a full kettle = a full pot of coffee.

4. The kettle is SAFE to boil your water with. However, the conductivity of the kettle's metal is not as good as a standard pot, so it will take you roughly twice as long to boil water in the kettle versus boiling it in a pot. (I bought a separate water kettle for this reason.)

5. As mentioned in other reviews, this kettle is hard to clean. The opening is hard to get your hand into, and the small spout makes everything but a pipe cleaner impossible to clean the inside. If you live in an area with hard water (like I do), then you'll want to filter your water before using this kettle to cut down on the deposit build up.

Hands-down, this kettle gives you the control you need to make an excellent cup of coffee. If you brew your coffee through a pour over method (such as the Chemex), then this is the kettle for you. Other than the cleaning difficulty and long(ish) time it takes for this kettle to boil water, I highly recommend this product.

'Hope you found this helpful!

I knew what every review said about this product, but I couldn't justify the price. So instead for my pour over (either hario v60 or chemex) I would pour out of a 12 ounce frothing pitcher with a good spout on it.

Let me tell you. The Buono kettle is in a whole different league. The amount of control is amazing. I didn't really think it would make that big of a difference. But I am now a true believer in what all the reviews say. I would almost go as far as recommending saving up to buy this kettle first, then buy your V60 or Chemex pour over brewing device second (not really...but you get what I am saying).

The only comment I would give, the kettle is pretty thin metal. The bottom is not like a regular kettle's thickness. So I hear and think it is fine to put on a gas stove, but since I do not have to, I am going to hold out.

Also the kettle holds a constant temperature pretty well. Starting with a not preheated kettle. I poured boiling water in, put the lid on a 30 seconds later the temp was 206. Once it got down to 203 I started my pour. 2 minutes into my pour my temp was 200 and at the end of my pour it was down to about 198.

Best Deals on Hario V60 Buono Coffee Drip Kettle, 1200ml

This product has one thing--and only one thing--going for it: its spout, which allows you to control the flow of water when brewing coffee using the pour-over method.

Otherwise, it has a few things going against it:

1. The price: it simply costs too much for what it offers.

2. The quality: it is very light-weight, flimsy stainless steel, and it rusts on the bottom (which is inexcusable for a tea kettle costing this much).

3. The design: It narrows toward the top, making it very inconvenient to wash and dry the inside (my had cannot fit through the top, and water gets trapped in the edges of the much wider base). If you fill the kettle and bring it to a rolling boil, water will actually boil out of the spout. Finally, it does not have any calibration lines on the inside indicating how many cups of water are in the kettle, which would have been handy.

Unless Hario happens to hold a patent on a kettle with a spout like this, there is room here for another company to design a much more solid, better designed product, in my opinion. Ideally, someone would make an electric kettle of this design (all stainless steel, no plastic of any kind anywhere, a narrow pour spout) that allowed you to set the temperature you want the water to reach and maintain. Hard to believe this is unavailable at any price, but I have yet to find it (please let me know in comments if you know of one!).

For now, we're stuck with the Hario, which does the job adequately, if a bit expensively.

UPDATE: Our wait is over, folks; the perfect kettle has arrived: Bonavita 1-Liter Variable Temperature Digital Electric Gooseneck Kettle

Honest reviews on Hario V60 Buono Coffee Drip Kettle, 1200ml

Purchased both Hario V60 and Bonavita BV3825ST non-electric gooseneck kettles from Amazon.

Country of Origin:

Hario: Made in Japan.

Bonavita: Made in China.

Capacity:

Hario: Practical capacity: .8 liter. Full capacity 1.2 liters.

Bonavita: Capacity: 1 liter.

Spout:

Hario: Gooseneck spout attached to body at lower point. Less water remains pooled at the bottom after complete pouring.

Bonavita: Gooseneck spout attached to body at higher point. More water remains pooled at the bottom after complete pouring.

Ergonomics:

Hario: Straight handle. Ergonomics not optimal.

Bonavita: Curved handle. Ergonomics better.

Product Material:

Hario: Stainless steel heavier and thicker. Seems higher quality steel. Handle good.

Bonavita: Stainless steel lighter and thinner. Handle good.

Quality of Construction:

Hario: Spout and handle attached with quality hardware. Seems more secure.

Bonavita: Spout and handle securely attached, but hardware appears to be less durable.

Design:

Hario: Lid does not fit tight. Will fall out when tipped at certain angle.

Bonavita: Lid fits tight. Will not fall out when tipped at certain angle. Handle has two screws located on underside at top, which impact finger comfort. Body has unfinished/uncurved inside top lip, which impacts hand comfort when cleaning inside body.

Appearance: Both look nice. Bonavita sits about an inch taller because of the design of the lid.

Pour Rate: Practically the same.

Recommendation: Both Hario and Bonavita will get the job done. I chose to keep Hario, because of the quality. But if money or style is a factor, Bonavita will work just fine. An alternative to these kettles, which I have not tried but appears to be of a very high quality, is the Kalita Wave Pot Kettle from Japan, priced at $107.Kalita 52073 Wave Pot Kettle

I love this kettle, it is perfect for pour over coffee and it feels wonderful in the hand. There is one HUGE problem and that is RUST!!! On the inside of the kettle, around the seams at the base, rust has developed. Not a lot of rust, but after two weeks this should not have occured. Mind you, when I am finished using my kettle in the morning, I always wipe it down inside and out. I think Japanese made and that usually means impeccable quality, but somehow this kettle fails to perform. I love the design and feel of this kettle, but where is the quality control???

UPDATE 2-17-2012: I checked at my local coffee shop, Catalina Coffee, and their Hario kettles are perfect with no rust. Maybe in their rush to make new kettles due to the popularity of the pourover, Hario's quality control slipped a bit.

UPDATE 2-23-2012: I tried to return this with the company I purchased with on Amazon called M Deals, here is a segment of their response to me about my return request: "Unfortunately, we cannot accept return at this moment. You have been using this kettle for 3 weeks. The item you carry is exactly same item with the one from your local coffee shop. Hario kettle we are selling is the original made in Japan product. You need to use drinking water and clean it after each use. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for contacting M Deals." WHAT?????!!!!!! I have used it for 3 weeks and it developed rust, and that's acceptable to them? I need to use drinking water????!!!!! What do they think that I have been putting in there to make my coffee?? Unfortunately you run into a bad vendor on Amazon, and M DEALS DOES NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY SELL and they do a horrible job of taking care of their customers. Buy the Hario kettle from anybody but M Deals!!!

UPDATE 5-20-2012: In March, I purchased a new non rusting Hario kettle from the nice folks at Seattle Coffee Gear. I love it!! My other rusting Hario kettle has been reassigned to watering herbs in my garden and for watering my Bonsai trees. It performs like a champ in its new job!!

This has the great quality that Zojirushi is known for. If you are looking for a good, well-made hot pot and boiler this is a great choice. Has a melody alarm to alert you when the water has boiled; you can select different temperatures to have it hold at, it has a slow dispense mode for brewing coffee using a single brew cone (coffee snobs might think it flows a bit too fast to allow for proper brewing), stainless steel means easy clean ups and with the magnetic cord, it is easy to plug/unplug and get the pot filled with water. It just works. Would definitely recommend. I purchased another one for my office.

I've been using this heater regularly for over a year now and it still works just like it did when brand new. When I got it, the remote didn't work. Amazon sent me a new heater with a new remote and the new remote also did not work. I eventually figured out that the batteries in the remote were dead so I had to replace the batteries. This is my first radiant heater. I'm never going back to forced air heaters again. It feels like a fire or the sun but it doesn't get so hot that you can't have things near it. It heats up very quickly. It doesn't dry out my skin like forced air heaters.

The unit is very nice looking but perhaps the size is a little overkill. I like being able to place it against the wall and out of the way. Does a decent job of heating a poorly insulated room that is about 300 sq. feet with no other heat source. I was able to maintain the room at 60 degrees when the outside temperature dipped to freezing recently. My main gripe is that the heat comes out near the top of the unit (about 2' above the floor). You can't direct the airflow any lower than horizontal so it stays pretty cold on the floor. Just being about to blow the warm air downward would make me change this rating to a 5 star.

If you are looking for a cost-effective way to heat small rooms, the Lasko 758000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater is a great buy. In order to be succinct, please find the "pros" and "cons" below.

Pros:

* Effective and easy-to-understand controls that allow for automatic settings governed by temperature objectives or heating by high or low output

* An illuminated display (easily viewable from 5-10 yards) that indicates the surrounding room temperature

* Directional control for heat output

* Nice form factor that allows for flexible floor placement in terms of space needed and general aesthetics

Cons:

* At higher temperature settings, the unit generates a little noise. To be fair, however, the sound is similar to and no more imposing that a PC or Printer

All in all, this is a good unit for rooms that central heating does not reach effectively. I would definitely buy another unit should the occasion arise.

The temp works just like they say, and is right on target. Set it at 72 and it kicks off at 74 and starts up at 71. The fan is quiet. As a safty they use and over heat sensor that works to cut the heater off if the air flow is blocked. I would still like to have a tip over switch. I did place my unit on it's face to see what would happen, and it did sut down within 15 sec. Other than the tip over switch that I would like as a back up. I have hunted the internet for hours and not found a better unit. Hope this helps you. If it will last more than a year, that would be very good.

I am truly disappointed in Lasko for this particular heater. We have had great service and satisfaction from Lasko products for years and thought they were invincible. This heater really let us down. It looks nice and heats well but has shortcomings and safety problems we just could not live with.

1. Although the direction of the airflow was variable, it sent the heat in the wrong directions and this could not be overcome. Straight forward to straight up was all it offers. Heated air needs to be directed in a downward path (heat rises, you know) to truly be efficient. My wife likes to put the heat near her feet to be comfortable and this was impossible. Nothing below the maximum downward flow (straight ahead) of this heater became appreciably warm.

2. This heater has an extremely small depth footprint. Although relatively unstable and easy to tip over accidentally on hard floors, it tips itself over forward (with NO effort on our part) on carpeting due to most of the weight of the internals being slung forward. To use it at all in the family room, we had to put a relatively wide board under it.

3. After a very little while on high heat, the power cord gets almost too hot to handle. Compared to other heaters we have (All Laskos), the cord on this model is very lightweight. We also noted that on other Laskos in this power range, they had 3 prong plugs and this one only has 2 prongs. VERY CHEAP and we never felt safe with it.

Thanks to Amazon's great return policy, we were able to send this back for a full refund. We then replaced it with another, better designed Lasko (from Amazon) that we are extremely happy with.

Thanks Amazon!

The thermostat setting going on and off will startle you every time. I don't know why the thermostat has to be so loud.

The fan's white noise is tolerable when I'm studying next to it but rather loud first thing in the morning. Not good near a TV either.

However, this is good to put in a room to prevent pipe freeze (set it to 40 degrees).

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 12 Inches, Silver Review

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 12 Inches, Silver
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
Dyson advertises that this fan moves 5 gallons per second of air. That translates to 40 cubic feet per minute. This is how fans are typically specified. But Dyson won't use those units of measurement, because that would allow you to make the comparison yourself and realize just what a lousy air mover this fan is.

To put this into perspective, a small clip-on 6" fan can move 190 cubic feet per minute. That little fan costs about $20.

Dyson achieves this deception through props typically streamers placed around the edge of the fan in store displays and ads. Sure, the air does move quickly from the edge of the fan, just as fast as it moves from conventional fans. However, this is only a thin ring of air movement in the case of the Dyson fans versus a full circle of air movement from a conventional fan. This helps to explain the difference in air moving performance.

Conventional fans are also quieter. Again, that little 6" clip-on is only 37 decibels. The Dyson is 50 decibels.

The Dyson fan is beautiful and safe. But as a fan, it is loud, has terrible air flow, and is preposterously overpriced other than as a work of art.

Better to buy a fan that works and some artwork that isn't masquerading as a fan.

It lives up to all the cool blade-less design and all, but I was very surprised over that I payed so much money for some cleverly shaped plastic. For whatever reason I expected the base to be in brushed aluminum and maybe even part of the ring. But no, sadly everything is plastic. Using a heavier metal would have also helped with cutting down the noise a bit which also was a good bit more than I had expected. I have regular fans that do not sound as much as this thing. If you like cool design and know before hand that a) it is plastic all the way and b) it makes some noise, I am sure you will be happy.

Dyson Air Multiplier? table fan 10" white

I,m a product and design engineer by trade , and have years of experience , We live on Cape Cod and

do not use air conditioning during the summer, when its hot we use table fans and window fans and have

about 4 types that we use around the house to keep cool on the hot days and nights.

When I saw the Dyson 10" ring fan on a show room floor it seemed to move the air well , and did not seem noisy.

I then purchased the product and when I received it and and took it out of the box it moved the air well but

was very noisy on low speed and has a constant "loud" 500HZ tone that everyone in the house can hear , even in

rooms at the far end of the house on a quite day or night . This 500 hz Noise is not something you get used to and

compared to some of our other bladed fans running on slow , the Dyson Ring fan is very noisy .

Until Dyson fixes this problem , the product will not serve much purpose as we have our's switched

off do to the noise , it's now acting as a $300 dust collector , which it seems to do very well.

I can only say that for the price I expected more from Dyson , I would not recommend this product to anyone, do not buy

this product unless you have a house or building with a lot of background noise like in a city , In fact maybe

A Haier ESA412J 12000-BTU Room Air Conditioner Energy Star with Remote which is a full 12,000 BTU air conditioner with a remote control costs less than this dyson air multiplier. So from a cost standpoint, this product is very overpriced.

From a volume of air moved standpoint, this product is also wholey deficient as it moves less air than a regular fan, the reason? this air multiplier uses a very small fan that is noisy to push air through a small ring shaped nozzle.

I'm all for the entrepeneur inventor making money and coming up with innovative products but this is just an example of a Brit with a big marketing team recycling old ideas from the 1960s and using them to dump overpriced products into the American market and taking Americans for fools. I don't give many 1 star reviews but here is one. This product should be illegal, it's akin to selling snake oil as a cure for cancer.

PROS:

it's a good conversation piece

on initial impact, it looks pretty (until you look closely)

CONS:

Price (costs as much as a full true air conditioning unit)

Very underpowered (it really doesn't move much air which is what a fan, ahem air multiplier, should do well)

Space (takes up as much space as a full size fan)

Common Financial Sense (when your friends figure out how much you paid for it and what $300 would buy, they'll think less of you)

Cleaning Difficulty (the outside is easy to clean but dust will get inside the fan and cleaning that appears to be a mess, get a bottle of compressed air)

No remote control (c'mon at this price, I should have a full remote control)

Mostly plastic construction (at this price we should be seeing polished aluminium or stainless steel)

Noisy (you'd think that this would be quieter than a regular fan but it's not)

It says it's less dangerous but most fans come with grilles so unless your regular fan has no grille, it's not an issue

I dont think dyson has ever invented anything as their sales pitches has led people to believe. They are just old ideas hyped up for the consumer. They are in fact marketing geniuses! But to have a fan at this price that is entirely plastic?? No thanks! Its not even powerful. I just have to sit here with my ever so old fan and listen to it chop through the air...CHOP, CHOP......Better yet, get a tower fan, strong, quiet and inexpensive. You can also buy a window AC unit, actually 2 of them with money to spare. E bay has air multiplier fans starting at 120 shipped from China, that just goes to show you how cheap they really are. Shame on you dyson!

I am not convinced the gel nails are better than the regular polish. The light gel dryer works fine but I just don't think I should have purchased this. Will probably not use very often.

I purchased this space heater about 2 years ago for my office. This is by far the best space heater I have ever used. I've had absolutely no problems with this space heater. It works as well as it did when I first purchased it! I highly recommend this product.

I bought this heater about 1.5 months ago. It worked great for the first three weeks, and I was quite happy with it, but after that time it started making an annoying rattling sound when it started up. The sound would gradually go away over about 1 minute. Now, the rattling sound stays on the entire time the heater is on. Coincidentally, my roommate bought the same exact heater and hers does the exact same thing. Oh, and mine started sparking (!) lately too. That was the last straw; it went right back to the store for a refund today. Don't buy this heater unless you like being annoyed by cheap crappy products.

Best Deals on Honeywell HZ-2030 Safety Sensor Heater

WE used this model for years and years, then it finally died after a series of power outages and brown outs. So we went on a search to find this exact same model because we like how this one works out of all the others. This is one of the safest, and most effective space heaters I have used. It gets approved by our Higher Education Safety committee every time. Great product, keep up the good work!

Heats the room very well and has all the safety features. Small size is convenient as well. I would recommend.
