Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Hello,

My Frigidaire OWF-10303 Oslo Wall Hanging LED Fireplace arrived today and right away I unpacked it and set everything up. It arrived double boxed keeping the unit safely packed including the glass front. A double folded edge steel plate is included for wall hanging, this type of hanger is easy to use and strong. The fireplace weighs 44 lbs. so be sure to screw the hanger plate into at least two studs, the more the better. Once hanging or placed add the included opaque white stones along the bottom inside the firebox, they look like glowing coals when the LED flames are running. Next you need to mount he glass, it goes on very easy but does weigh a bit. Once running the fire looks almost real! you can change colors from green to red to blue or a combination of colors at once, I prefer the orange fire as it looks like a real fire. The heater is a basic resistance wire that looks like it came out of a hairdryer, I'd rather it have a quartz tube element but it is what it is. It gives off plenty of heat pushed by a blower with high and low settings, a vent in the top is where the heat comes out. You can run the LED flame with or without the heater running so it can be used year round. This would look great placed inside a regular fireplace, it fits in mine and looks very real in that location. A remote control is included too, you can control the heat settings plus change the LED flame color. I do hear motor noise when the LED flame is running alone,it isn't loud but noticeable if near the unit.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I received this through the Amazon Vine program, but it was taken off of my review list because it arrived somewhat damaged. We were able to repair it enough to assemble it and get it working safely, so I would like to share my thoughts on the product for those thinking about purchasing this.

First of all, I love the look of this "fireplace." It is sleek, like a flat screen TV. The colors are vivid, and the rocks give it a nice touch. It comes with a remote to change the colors and to turn the heat settings on and off. I've been using the remote from my bed, which is several feet away, and it works fine. In that regard I am very happy with it. So why only 3 stars?

For as much as this item costs, I think it would have been better if it also came with some sort of crackling fire sound. I realize this would then require speakers of some sort, which may not have been compatible with the heating unit, so I am not really taking stars off for that. However, the unit does give off a bit of white noise, which is a bit annoying. Also, at close glance, the LED "fire" looks a bit cheesy and unrealistic. The remote control, while convenient, gives off an annoying beep when the unit is turned on and off. It also beeps each time you want to change the color settings. There should be a way to turn this off, or just get rid of it completely. It would also be nice if the screen had an indiscreet on/off switch separate from the remote, so that this could be used with a timer.

There are two heater settings, which is nice. As with any type of space heater, I would not leave it on unattended for any extended period of time. We use a wood burning stove in the wintertime, but the upstairs bedroom remains cold, which is another reason I requested this. I am not sure if any long term damage will occur from the heater, but I don't see myself using it that often except for a few hours in the evening, so I am not overly concerned about this.

It may take more than one person to set this up. The unit is at least 40 pounds/18 Kilograms and needs to be mounted to the wall. The instructions say not to turn it on until it is completely mounted.

If this unit cost $100-150, I would have probably given it 4 stars. Like I mentioned before, I really like this item. It's a nice alternative to a night light or romantic ambient light. I just feel some improvements could be made to make this more worth the retail price.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I thought I was going to just LOVE this, and after trying to figure out where to put this, I found this to be not as awesome as I thought it'd be. This is just an odd fit in our house, our living room already has a real fireplace, so we tried it around the family room? Nope, bedrooms? Nope. In the fireplace? It sadly didn't fit. I didn't like the way this looks anywhere, it does look tacky, it's not like having a gas fireplace.

I do also have a high concern of any effects on my wall from the heater over a period of time, since this seems fairly new, I haven't found any reviews on problems, well honestly, if you search around, you'll find only reviews on Amazon at the moment.

It's not as quiet as I'd like it to be, while no it's not obnoxious, it's not soothing to sit on your couch and hear your wall fireplace not making fire sounds.

This color changing fireplace adds a unique touch to any room. It's definitely a must have! You get to add to your decor PLUS in winter receive additional heating in a normally chilly room.

Q-Mark MLY 5KW 240V UNIT HEATER *, HUH524TA Reviews

Customer Ratings:

208/240v Electric Heater

Step 1: I wanted to work comfortably in an attached 22 x 22 (9 foot high drywalled ceiling) garage in the winter. Figuring I'd need lots of heat, I bought a portable 40,000 btu propane heater. It exhausts lots of carbon monoxide, so you have to partially open a door or window to the outside to let [cold] fresh air in -which seriously lowers heater efficiency. The heater warmed the garage, but the approach wasn't satisfactory -i.e., the fumes were so bad, I stopped using it. It was also very loud, like the hissing of escaping air from a large air boat; plus, when the propane tank ran out, the heater stopped; each time you needed heat, you had to drag it out, connect it to the tank, leave plenty of floor space around this self-contained-blowtorch; put it all away when you were done; and of course find a place to store it. Also, there was no thermostat. All in all, a royal pain in the keister. (Google search on: "propane heater carbon monoxide" to read about the serious risk of carbon monoxide from propane heaters.)

Step 2: I bought one of these electric heaters. It has only half the btu's of the propane unit, but there is no need to open a window or door for ventilation. It also has a thermostat, so you can set it (to a number, not a temperature), and come back 30 minutes later and be in relative comfort. On days in the low 30s, it will keep the garage in the 60s, which is fine for working.. (My attached garage ceiling and 2 walls are insulated.) My heater is mounted high up on a wall, but it can also be mounted to hang from the ceiling, as long as the clearances laid out in the instructions, are followed. In any case, once mounted, it is out of the way, and always ready. There's nothing to haul out or set up when you need heat -just turn it on. When done, just turn it off. This heater needs a dedicated 30-amp 220-volt circuit. You wouldn't want to use this every day, due to electricity costs, but for occasional use, it is perfect.

My advice is to skip step 1.

Note: As of this writing, Amazon sells this heater under several names:

Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Automatic 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4

Fahrenheat/Marley FUH54 Suspended Electric Heater

Dayton G73 Electric Garage Heater

Multi-Watt Horizontal Downflow Unit Heater With Thermostat 208/240v

These are all the same heater; it is manufactured by Marley Engineered Products of Bennettsville, South Carolina.

Ordered this product a couple of weeks ago. Looks very nice. Heat is effective. It also has a nice handle to carry it.

However it makes as much noise as a hair dryer. Therefore is hard to keep it on for too long. Am considering returning the item.

Lasko Heater Model 5409 is the newer version of its predecessor, Model 5429 (according to Amazon; which I don't dispute).

BELOW, is my review of Lasko Model 5429. The info about Lasko Model 5429 also pertains to its successor, Model #5409.

SHORT STORY: If you use either of these heaters in a bathroom, the life of the heater will definitely be shortened.

I have owned two of these terrific little heaters -Lasko "Oscillating Ceramic Heater Model 5429."

HOWEVER, I have learned that the manufacturer states that this heater SHOULD NOT BE USED IN A BATHROOM. Not due to safety reasons, but FOR THIS REASON: The dampness/humidity from showers and tubs causes the heating element to corrode -causing the heater to permanently stop working.

I bought my second one of these heaters in July 2012, and on December 31, 2012 (6 months), the heater "died." Location where I used the heater: the BATHROOM.

Here is the link to the Lasko website, and product info for "Oscillating Ceramic Heater Model 5429."

[link not allowed by Amazon]

On the page that comes up, there is a button, "User Manual."

Click on that -it brings up a PDF file (which you can download, or read online).

On page 2 of the PDF, go to the second (smaller) "Warning" icon, and below it read item #15:

"15. This Heater is not intended for use in wet or damp locations. This Heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations."

There is a 3-year Manufacturer's Warranty. But, Amazon will not accept return of products whose Purchase Date is older than 30 days. Amazon Customer Service advised me to contact Lasko, which I did: Lasko Customer Service: 800-233-0268. Lasko has graciously consented to replace my heater this time, but they made sure I understand that using it in a bathroom will definitely shorten its life.

HERE is a space heater that is made to work in bathrooms.

In fact, it is named Holmes® Bathroom Heater, MODEL HFH436-NM. Note: Ignore the differing letters after HFH436; these two "models" are the same heater.

Regarding this unit on Amazon: Holmes Customer Service (on 1/4/2013) told me that the model listed on Amazon -Holmes® Bathroom Heater, MODEL HFH436WGL-U -is the same as MODEL HFH436-NM.

They are one and the same unit. I have just now (1/4/2013) placed an Amazon order for this bathroom heater.

Bought this heater for our office spaces and these work so well! The heat coverage is great and it's a very simple, non complicated heater so the functions are simple, hi or low and fan. Temperatures are adjustable and simple dial too. The sound doesn't bother me or my coworkers, it's not that loud, you can hear it but it's not annoying or causing an increase in speaking volume. Someone said it's as loud as a hair dryer -that is inaccurate and over exaggerated. It's a calming background noise. Definitely good when the office gets too quiet.

I Love this heater and I hope it lasts me for next winter too if not, it's so decently priced, buying a new one isn't a problem! I recommend it!

I was disappointed in the 500 watt setting, it doesn't generate enough heat. With the fan running it blows almost luke warm to cold air. Works well on the 1000 watt setting.

Honest reviews on Broan Model 170 Wall Heater, 500/1000 Watt 120 VAC, White Painted

I chose this item because it was a drop in replacement for a wall heater that went bad . The original heater worked great for many years (had been in operation for at least 20 years), so I ordered one that I could install in the old enclosure without having to do extensive remodeling. It fit perfectly! The only negative that I have is that it is a bit on the noisy side (somewhat more noisy than the original), but not unacceptable.

The first one I tried to screw in, the first thread stripped and I couldn't get it to screw in straight. Be very careful as the threads are soft plastic. So I had to throw that one away and carefully screw in the second one. No idea if this actually does anything. We have a softner/conditioner that does a great job on our well water, but when the plumber installed our hybrid water heater he put this scale filter in as we'll.

This is a great product and at a great price. This is a simple option for hard water, without all the negatives of water softeners. Basically, instead of dumping a bunch of salt into an expensive water softener twice a year, this product introduces a bit of polyphosphate into the hot water feed, typically before an instant water heater (boiler in our case). The polyphosphate prevents scale buildup on the heat exchanger, which is what a water softener does, at a fraction of the cost, and without the slimy feel of softened water

I ordered 2 cartridges and they were at my home in Canada within 7 days. The best price anywhere is on amazon.com. This water system

Is a must for anyone with a tankless hot water heater. It helps to prevent the build-up of scale inside your unit. $35 is a cheap price to pay every year to maintain your system

I think this hardwater prevention cartridge works. I have read that it is a must for people who have tankless water heaters, who don't also have water softeners. Personally, I think you should buy a water softner over this device if you can afford it and are okay maintaining it. That said, I am using this device on the water line flowing into my water heater. I also have a hot water filter ) on the outlet side of the water heater to catch the stuff released into the water heater. That filter catches a lot of slimy rust and hardward. The only issue is that I need to change the filter quarterly. However, the aqua-pure seems to last six months. Overall, I think this is a good product, but you have to get it installed or install it yourself. Then, you probably want to filter the other side. I think a water softner (Morton Salt #MSD34C 34M Water Softener Unit) would work better, but this solution is less expensive to purchase and maintain.

My Sengoku OR-77 10,000-BTU Kerosene Heater burned 75F hotter and made much less odor after installing this wick.

Probably more a condemnation of Sengoku's crappy wick but this wick was a great purchase for me.
