Well, we've only had this baby on three times so far, but she unpacked and rolled to her new home in the sun room very smoothly and heated the large area quickly and quietly. If the coming winter presents any problems I'll check back in. Perfect so far!

I live up on a mountain where it quickly turns from summer to winter. My basement is almost completely underground and stays cold year round (great in the summer!) and the tile floor doesn't help to retain any heat. Basically the basement gets REAL cold in the winter. Thus far the heater works well to heat the 700sq ft area with 96" ceilings, but it can take some time to heat the entire area. Usually in an hour or two the room is heated and comfortable. I really enjoy the remote and the display. I did a large amount of research on electric heaters, and for your money, this is the best value.

The Duraflame Quartz Heater has met or exceeded my expectations. Have large open space with 10 ft, ceilings and had been told

this would not heat such a large area. It is doing a very good job of back-up heat as I have an oil furnace which runs much less, saving expensive oil. My 80 year old husband is very sensitive to cold so this is an ideal solution to warm his area without raising the furnace thermostat to heat other areas. I have recommended it to other friends and family.

Optimus H-1322 Portable 2-Speed Fan Heater with Thermostat Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This little heater didn't look like much on the shelf at the store where I bought it--plastic casing looked flimsy, and I worried it wouldn't last. The 3-year warranty, however, gave me a boost of consumer confidence, and I decided to give it a shot. When I got home and took it out of the box, I was disappointed. The casing indeed looked flimsy, and I expected the unit be bigger, especially in terms of depth, based on the dimensions of the box.

I was surprised then when it turned out to pack quite a punch! It warmed up its surroundings immediately, and I ended up leaving it on all night--it kept the room comfortably warm all night. It doesn't seem flimsy at all any more--just a lightweight unit that does a surprisingly good job! With confidence borne of the 3-year warranty, I'm entirely satisfied with my purchase. I'm glad I took a chance on this little heater.

IT is ok, but not as nice and warm as the radiant Optimus I bought last year but was recalled. It is nice and small, good right next to my chair and I do like the cooling fan part in case It gets a little to warm in the room. Very light weight and easy to use.

This, along with my commercial Bunn Coffee Grinder, is my favorite indulgence. I have owned a Bunn designed for home use for 20 years and I finally took the plunge and bought this one. Bunn is the industry standard and for good reason. Every aspect of this brewer is quality.

Bunns work differently than most home drip machines in that they have a water reservoir that holds about 2 1/2 "loads" of water at any one time that is constantly kept at brewing temperature the machine is "on" all the time. This is what allows you to brew a pot of coffee instantly. No waiting for the water to heat up. The switches on the front are for the warming plates, which I don't use. I prefer to transfer the hot brewed coffee to an air pot so it doesn't get bitter but still stays hot. This particular model doesn't need to be plumbed. You just pour the correct amount of water from the supplied pitcher into the top of the machine hence the name "Pour-o-matic". It makes 12 cups of perfectly brewed coffee in a couple of minutes. Making morning coffee is such a pleasure now. I may be a rotten cook, but I can serve up a fine cup of coffee with my Bunn!

The stainless steel case is thick, sturdy and designed for easy cleaning. I live in a hard water area where mineral deposits clog up coffee brewers overnight but this is designed to make it easy to keep it running freely. Even the spray head is stainless and is easy to unscrew and rinse out daily. That also gives you access to the water delivery tubing which you just ream out with the supplied flexible spring rod (called the de-liming tool). It's very quiet when heating up the water a big thing if you've ever had a different brand of commercial brewer.

If you can't live without your brewed coffee and you can afford this pricey indulgence, you'll never regret buying a Bunn.

... and that is make coffee, but it does it damned well.

I am not going to tell you the specifics of how a Bunn makes coffee; the previous reviewer did it very well and if you have ever eaten in a restaurant, doughnut shoppe, or coffee shop you have probably seen one.

I use the VP 17 in my home. You may ask why since this is really intended for commercial use. Well I have owned this unit for nearly four years without a hiccup. Grind the beans, pour the pre-measured amount of filtered (I made a mark with a permanent marker on the water jug) water and viola the same identically made cup of coffee day after day in less than two minutes!!!

I mean I am drinking coffee in less time than most makers are just thinking about heating the water, and it is the same cup day after day after day. No surprises.

It does cost more than your usual home unit, but this thing is built like a Sherman Tank and if you actually needed it could produce enough coffee to take care of a small army. Four gallons an hour can you imagine how long (like maybe days) it would take your average home coffee maker to brew that much coffee.

Like the other reviewer stated it is an extravagance but if you want to quickly and reliably brew your morning coffee it is a neat way to do it.

To sum it up a friend asked does it really make better coffee to which I replied not only that but it looks damn COOL doing it. Makes a neat statement in addition to a great cup of joe.

P.S. I do home roast my beans and burr grind fresh every pot and man you have no idea how good a cup of coffee can taste. I know probably need to get a life....but hey sometimes simple is good.

It sounds silly, but the handle on the top of this space heater increases its portability tenfold. It's very light, and because it only takes one hand to move it around, I'm constantly switching it from the floor to an end table. The many different heat settings mean that you can be very picky about the heat blasting out at you.

Another feature that I find preferable is that it heats constantly, unlike some space heaters which practically light you on fire but come on only intermittently. This handy space heater stays at the temperature you choose the entire time. I've run this thing for 10 hours at a time with no ill effects. It lasted through last winter and is still going strong this winter. When I had the flu for a couple of weeks, I hunkered down on my couch with this on the coffee table and baked myself every single night for the entire night.

I adore this thing and I'm about to order another to keep in my office. (I live in a house that was built in 1825 so it can be a little drafty. Because all the rooms are small and the house is full of doors just for the purpose of trapping heat, it's more energy efficient for me to squirrel myself away in my office with the door shut and the space heater on than to crank the furnace in the entire house up.

EDIT 9/19/2013: This thing is still going strong. During the winter, my programmed thermostats turn the house temp way down, so at night I close the doors to my room and bake myself all night. This heater has never once let me down. At this point, I can't tell you how many nights it's run the entire night, 8+ hours, every night during the winter months. It still works just as great now as the day I first got it. I LOVE this heater.

I bought this heater in November 2010 from another seller. I first used it in a room that did not have a carpeted floor and it provided good heat for its size although the temperature was only about 60-degrees F so it really wasn't much of a test. At the end of the month when the temperature dropped to the 40s and 30s at night, I used the heater in a rather small 15' x 13' carpeted room and almost froze until I realized this: the heater blows its heat downward toward the floor. I was about to return it for being defective until I decided to try sitting it on a small box I had. After I put it on the box, it started heating the entire room with no problem at all even getting too hot at the highest setting. The fact that it blows downward could be a defect, but I am thinking that because this is actually a utility heater, it is made for non-carpeted rooms which helps bounce the heat around the room or keep it from igniting items directly in front of it although I could be wrong.

For the quality, this heater is very durable and sturdy. It has a very solid feel to it, with a good weight. Nor does it feel or look cheaply made. The fan sound is a bit noticeable compared to my tower heater, but it isn't loud as to hinder sleeping or watching tv. One thing about the heater is that the fan is always on high, but, in my opinion, that is good for low heat settings because it still helps distribute the heat throughout the room. The thermostat isn't digital but works very well. If the temperature is constant outside, the heater keeps the room at a fairly even temperature. And, I like the fact that I can turn the knob to exactly where I want it rather than it being set at say 5 degree increments the way my tower heater is.

This heater and all of its comparable models do use quite a bit of electricity. I have noticed that this heater will use about 36 kilowatts in a 24-hour period. That is about $4 $6 a day depending on the electric company rates.

I have used this heater every day for the past month with no problems at all other than having to sit in on a box. So, overall, I give it 4 stars. The only thing taking away is the fact that I have to sit it on the box, the slightly audible fan noise and the amount of electricity it uses. But those are all very minor, in my opinion, for the comfort it provides.

(sorry for the VERY poor video quality my little digital camera isn't exactly designed for making movies and the sound does not pick up very well either; hope you can turn up your volume and still get the gist!)

This video briefly compares the Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater, and a Dr Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater 1500W, Dual Heating System, UL Listed.**, with the spotlight on the Lasko 675945 Stanley 12-Inch Ceramic Utility Heater. While all three heaters are relatively energy efficient choices each have various strong and weak points which are discussed, but the Stanley model is a BIG winner in a small package! It costs the least and heats even a large room just about as fast and as well as my old favorite, Dr. Heater.

Important: the design of this model produces directional heat it blows on an angle towards the floor. On hard surfaces like tile or hardwood this is a huge plus for quick distribution of heat. When I use this in a carpeted area, the carpet will absorb the heat and the room takes longer to warm unless I put the heater on heat resistant surface a couple of feet above the floor like on a small end table.

Edited to add: the description states "built-in safety features, which consist of a self-regulating ceramic heating element and automatic overheat protection", but please be aware that this unit appears NOT to have a tip-over shut off feature.

The video highlights differences in features and functions of each, including demonstrating how fast and how hot each unit gets comparatively.

Uses about 36kwh per 24hrs; you can use your electric bill to find your rate to see what this unit will cost to run day to day.

No word on longevity as this is a new purchase for me. Very pleased with this item so far though and happy to recommend!

Sturdy, with a great handle, so it's easy to pick up and move around. But no turn off "tip over" switch. I almost started a fire on the carpet with this heater turned over. Most of my other space heater turn off. So do not use in a children's area, could be dangerous. It's very industrial looking but it's only looks. The output is no more than any other of its size and it pulls a LOT of electricity for the output you get. Thermostat is a joke, doesn't regulate a steady temp at all. THE WORST is the noise...IT'S THE NOISIEST HEATER I HAVE EVER HAD...and it varies with its noise, in cycles like a snoring person!...LOL...Anyways, the bottom line was the cost vs efficiency and this heater fails.

I bought this for a bathroom fart-fan that is downstairs and because of it's age is a tad noisy. Because the kids use the bathroom there is a tendency for them to leave the fan on for hours on end. This solved that problem.

I have wiring experience so installation was simple for me but anyone that can use a screwdriver and pliers can install this. I looked at the timers that are longer but figured 5 minutes was long enough. The switch itself is robust and installed in my double switch box without problems. I needed the pliers to straighten the wires out. Total installation time was about 5 minutes 2 of which were spent making sure I turned off the correct breaker.

Luckily, the timer is very simple and robust.

It was unfortunate that the unit supplied did not have any screws for the terminals and did not switch at all.

On opening it up it was clear that the unit had not been assembled well. The fault was easily fixed.

I suspect that this unit had been returned stock which got mixed up with good new stock.

When working, the timer is quite robust and reasonably accurate.

I needed to heat the finished portion of my basement. There is some residual heat from the furnace located behind closed doors in the unfinished portion of the basement, but not nearly enough. I live in Massachusetts and the temperatures outdoors lately have ranged from overnight lows of 14 degrees to midday highs of 35 degrees or so. The finished portion of the basement consists of two rooms with a large opening between them (no door). The space is about 550 sq. ft. total. After initially trying a Lasko 758000 cyclonic ceramic heater, I found that model could only get the space to about 65 degrees after letting it run for 24 hours. This low-profile model, however, warmed the space from 65 to 70 degrees within 30 minutes of turning it on. It has now been close to two hours, and the room temp. is holding steady at 69 degrees. Unlike the cyclonic ceramic, this heater runs absolutely silently. I recommend this model to anyone with similar needs.

I've had this heater for almost 2 years. It is great as a bedroom heater and very quiet. My only issue with it is that if you turn it on and don't set the temperature it defaults to turning the heating element on constantly until you make an adjustment or turn it off. I feel like this is a dangerous default operation and that it should default to having the thermostat set at the last temperature that you used (e.g. turn it on and it's already set for 68 degrees instead of in FULL ON mode). I have turned it on and forgotten to set the temperature a few times and woke up in the middle of the night to my room at 90 degrees. Yikes.

If ever a product deserved a one star review it is this one.

I purchased two of these at the same time to use in my kids rooms to keep them a little warmer at night during the winter months.

The first one worked for two weeks then inexplicably began turning itself off after 5 minutes. I tried resetting it per the manufacturers instructions but it continued to run for no longer than 5 minutes before it would go into protect mode and shut itself off.

The second one worked for three weeks before it had a fault that caused it to bypass the set temperature and run continuously all night! I went into my toddlers room to wake her up in the morning and found it was near 100 degrees in her room! I tested the unit out downstairs and sure enough even with the set temperature at 80 degrees it would just keep on running.

I contacted Amazon and they were awesome as always and refunded my money for these two units.

This heater was purchased for $ through Amazon ()and meets our expectations. We live in Orlando, Florida and purchased this heater to keep the master bedroom warm at night so we do not have to turn on the heat pump and heat a two story house with 3,300 square feet. Our average electric bill is always over $300 a month and this heater is a money saver! The bedroom is 13'X20'; we close the doors to the hall and bathroom and the unit works well. Since the heater's digital temperature gauge is within inches of the heat source one must set the thermostat 2 to 3 degrees above what you want the room temperature to be. The unit turns on 1 degree below where it is set and off at 2 degrees above set point. It is very quiet since there are no moving parts. It has a long electrical cord a good thing since you cannot use an extension cord with it. While we seldom get very cold temperatures in Orlando the heater performs well when it is in the 30's outside. Often we turn on the ceiling fan on low and it makes the room a uniform temperature without any cold spots. This heater is paid off in a couple of months if you can reduce the house thermosat or turn it off as we do at night.

Bought 2 one for the dining room (3 parrots live there, no dining allowed) and one for my 14x16 bedroom. Both are crazy-quiet, and warm a room quickly. It's not a dry heat like a fan-based heater puts out, but a general warmth that I assume is the convection heat doing its thing. I leave both unattended at night, and the one in the dining room runs constantly no worries as it's not a hot-heat, and is made very well.

I gave this 4 stars because I feel the electrical cord is fairly short 6' maybe. You can't use an extension cord with it, so it does limit placement.

I previously had a propane patio heater with a pilot light. What a pain! This heater with a pilotless direct ignition is fantastic. It lights right away, then shut it off when you are done. No getting on a stepstool and peering into the heater to see if the damn pilot light is lit. Plus, they blow out, not to mention that the thermocouple does not last and then you might as well throw them away, since they are not easy to repair. With this unit, you turn it on when you want to use it and then shut it down. Much easier to use and worth the extra money. Unit is not too heavy, so easy to move around on the built in wheels. A bit disappointed that the "stainless" steel base is beginning to rust in only a few months, but I can probably get it off with a little steel wool. Assembly is about 45 minutes and instructions are good. I am buying a second one and would never go back to a model with a pilot light. Get a patio heater cover for it also. Exposing the burners and ignition system to the elements most likely shortens the life of a heater significantly.

I'm very disappointed in the value proposition of this product. Upon arrival, one of the heat shield panels was dented, making it very difficult to assemble. The bolts supplied with the product are the cheapest bolts possible. I sheared a bolt in half while tightening it. The holes to assemble the parts together are poorly machined and don't always line up with each other.

Now after 1 month of being outside in a fairly cool northern California spring, the center post of my "stainless steel" heater has rust marks.

For the price of the heater, I'm not impressed with the quality of workmanship and I'm concerned of the overall durability of this product to stand up to the elements. If this was a $150 heater, I wouldn't be as upset. However, for $300, I would expect a much better product.

I was extremely disappointed in this product. It is absolutely not worth it! The parts are poorly made. It was almost impossible to put the heat shield together since the small nuts & bolts were not long enough to fit through 3 pieces of metal. I honestly had to wrestle the heat shield on the ground, and take it apart numerous times, since it all never lined up properly. When I finally did get the entire unit together, the ignition switch would not work, and the heater's main burner would not light up. After numerous attempts to make it work, I boxed it up and sent it back. To give you some sense of what a pain it was to put this heater together, the same day as I put the patio heater together, I also assembled a Weber Gas Grill. My father and I had more trouble putting the patio heater together than we did the finely crafted Weber Grill! Now with a new beautiful grill and no patio heater, I was going to order a patio heater from Restoration Hardware since I thought they would offer a higher quality product. What I discovered when looking at their specs, the heater they offered was actually the Fire Sense Deluxe Patio Heater offered on Amazon for $50 more then this originally ordered heater. Restoration Hardware offered the Deluxe heater for $449, but did include a cover with it. I opted to order the unit from Amazon at $304.00 and it arrived yesterday. I immediately noticed the quality of parts is much higher, and the heat shield went together without a glitch, also better designed as it has fewer pieces. Overall this new Deluxe heater went together smoothly, except for one MAJOR flaw in the directions! The Deluxe Heater stand is not weighted, and there is a plastic unit on the bottom that needs be filled with sand. You should fill the plastic tote as your first step before doing anything else. I put the entire heater together & then was going to fill the plastic bottle at the end, but with the weight of the sand, I could not re-attach it (I was working by myself this time). I ended up having to take the heater apart again, so I could wrangle the base and attach the sand filled weight. The directions do not say anything about filling the plastic tote! My Deluxe Heater starts right up & provides excellent heat range!! The moral of this story is, spend $50 more and get the Deluxe Patio Heater, forget about this shoddy unit!

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Commercial Patio Heater

Purchased this for enclosed patio / lanai in Florida. These patio heaters are very popular in Florida because there is a large part of the year when the evenings are just a bit too cold to sit outside. I did not want to spend $1200 on a real commercial model as it would only be used once a week at most. There is a unit on Amazon that goes for $179 and has decent reviews however some reported that it starts to rust rather quickly. I chose this higher priced model because it is made from the higher quality "304" stainless steel and should hold up better to the frequent rain and humidity in Florida. It took me 45min to assemble and was pretty straight forward, although the instructions are light on the details. The amount of hardware was much less than I expected and everything seemed to line up nicely. The heater fired right up and you CAN feel the heat 9ft away as advertised. I really like the pilotless lighting system. Time will tell how this hold up but I am expecting a few years of trouble free usage. I like that the company is here in Florida and specializes in patio accessories. Parts should be easy to come by as they make a lot of patio heaters (manufactured in China, serviced and distributed in Amelia Island, FL).

For $300, this heater meets my expectations.

I like to run something for a while before I provide a review. We purchased this in Sept 2011, and used it extensively last winter. It was easy to put together, although I say I am mechanically inclined. We use it in an outdoor covered patio and in our barn. Pretty easy to move without the tank in it. Lights every time on the first try and burns very clean. I brought home monitors from work to check for CO (carbon monoxide) levels as I was using it in the barn, which is mostly contained, (but a fairly drafty). CO readings were always zero at all levels and distances from the unit. Also, I was surprised that very little heat radiates above the unit. It does a very nice job at 'pushing' the heat downward. I have a Mr Heater garage natural gas unit now on the side patio and it seems to shoot a sizeable amount of the heat upwards towards the ceiling rather than down on us. I don't recommend you run this patio heater this way, but it is good to know that the beams above on the patio roof wont get hot if one of our inebriated guests decides to move the unit while I'm in the house. We also liked this particular unit because it has a flat surface on the tank cover. The surface is large enough for multiple beverages and/or ash-tray (for us cigar smokers).

I would have given this 5 stars, but I was a little disappointed that some surface corrosion was apparent shortly after using it a few times. It seems to wipe right off, and I hit it with some metal polish and is slowed its return. Otherwise, I love this heater.

I will start by saying that finally, after installing two of these units in my 1500 sf workshop, I am very happy with them. They cool and heat very efficiently and quietly and there are not many units on the market which have the power and features of this one.

However, it was a long road getting to the happy point I am at now. I initially ordered two of these from Amazon, and they arrived quickly but both turned out to have been damaged in shipping. This is partially the truckers fault but a good deal of the blame must be laid on the manufacturer who does not package this model with sufficient protection to withstand the typical abuse which cartons endure in truck freight. There is is only about 1/2" of styrofoam between the front and top of the unit and the inside of the carton, and no crush space whatsoever. So both units arrived with bent case frames and one also had a cracked front grill piece and bent interior pieces.

Amazon offered to replace them but were out of stock so after some discussion I agreed to keep the least damaged one (I was able to bend the case back into shape) of the two for a discount, ship back the other for a refund, and order a third unit from TheFactoryDepot, one of amazon's resellers.

Well, guess what? The third unit arrived damaged in shipping as well. After much more discussion, this time with TheFactoryDepot, they agreed to allow me to go pick up a replacement at their warehouse which was luckily only about 30 minutes from my home. This unit was undamaged and so I installed that one as well.

We weren't through with our troubles though because the 2nd unit I installed (the one we picked up at the warehouse) soon started displaying a trouble code on the panel and stopped cooling. So we had to call Frididaire to have it serviced under warranty. There 3rd party service company came to the house and repaired it but they had to order a part so this took about another 10 days. Finally, about 6 or 8 weeks after our initial order, we had two working units installed and they have been cooling and heating nicely for the past 2 to 3 months. The remote is great it has all the controls to change modes, and control heating, cooling, thermostat, fan speed, energy saver, timer, etc. This is important to me because my units are installed 7 feet from the floor (to the bottom of the unit), and I have never needed to actually get up on a ladder to fiddle with the front panel once you get the airflow louvers pointed the way you want there is no need for that.

I wouldn't recommend this model at all if there were a lot of alternatives, mainly because of the poor packaging, but if you need a heating+cooling unit this size and you are prepared to potentially deal with returns and repairs then this is the unit for you. I don't say that entirely facetiously once we got all the startup problems solved these are very nice units. If you can find it locally or can pick it up from a warehouse I strongly recommend that as the packaging is very poor. That's the main reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Love the way this unit works. Really cools the garage quickly after pulling a vehicle in that has been in the hot sun or on the road all day. Love the way the blower runs only at the speed needed to do the job then slows down and shuts off when the set temperature is reached using the econ mode. This should really be a money saver compared to my 20 year old unit that (blower motor ran all the time) gave up the ghost after a lightening strike.

It seems to have a tendency to short cycle but does not seem to hurt it. Doing some research on this issue now.

Would buy another one.

Shipping took a little longer than advertised but was not an AMAZON problem. Trucking company called and advised their truck had broken down and was in for repair.

The new replacement came in and installed. No vibration on fan but compressor on the air side or the heat pump side would never start. Ran voltage checks to board and all was ok. Shipping it back. The coil and compressor all look solid but the electronics are really cheap. Stay Away.

Item was good, but had to wait a long time, because we had to find an address in the US and then find someone to pick it up and ship it the rest of the way. Will be happy when you ship to Canada.

I purchased this blower to add it to a mid 90's Heat-n-Glo gas fireplace that never had a blower installed. The blower came very quickly from the seller and I installed it in 5 minutes. It is a little tricky to manuever the blower to where it needs to go, but not a fault of this blower.

The blower is quiet and works well. It does push some air and helps to distribute heat.

This blower was purchased to replace a 20-year old identical Regency Wood Stove blower motor. It is exactly the same motor and blower. However, you will need to retain some of the old motor wiring to cut & crimp. The new motor comes with just a crimped power cord and an attached ground wire. You will need to cannibalize the old wiring in order to use your existing power switch and thermal overload. A minor nuisance.

The new blower might also have to be rotated 90 degrees on the baseplate. In order to gain access to the bolts, you have to pinch and remove the cotter pin and then pull (hard) on the plastic blades to remove. Another minor nuisance. Make sure you have a magnetized socket screwdriver handy.

Altogether, it took my fat fingers about 30 minutes to install. The new blower is whisper quiet.

The hardest thing about these blowers was making sure I had the correct one for the fireplaces I have. I received it and had very little trouble installing it. Again, the manufacturer make the most problems. It works better than I could have imagined, to include all three blower settings. It was so good that I ordered another one because I have two fireplaces. Recommend that installation instructions from the manufacturer is downloaded before you order because the blower comes only with instructions on how to mount it and plug it in.

Honest reviews on Fireplace Blower Heat N Glow GFK-160A; Regency Wood Stove Insert

Don't get me wrong, this transaction went perfectly. The seller is great, and the item showed up on time as described. I was, however, surprised when I got it all set up that the fan doesn't do a whole lot: it needs more power. It still helps heat the room faster, but I was expecting a lot more. I'd probably still buy it again, as in the long run it will pay off, but don't expect your living room to be toasty in half the time.

Single speed blower. Had to index the blower motor to fit existing stove frame. Spliced wiring and motor worked great. Still going three months later. Took about two hours to do job. Hardest part was removing the squirrel cages.
