We bought this item originally as an inexpensive, alternative heat source in the Winter, when we can lose electricity for hours, even days, when a bad storm rolls through.

It quickly became our main heat source -as unlike the two, 15,000 btu, electric space heaters we'd been using -this can heat a cold room within 30 minutes. And, all by itself, heats the entire house better than those two other heaters running together. And we only once turned it to the third setting. It usually stays on 1.

To clarify, we live in a very small space: 750 square feet in a very old, single-wide, with windows that no longer seal well. The weather here is moderately cold -we drop into the teens rarely, but stay solidly in the mid 20s-early 30s at night in winter. Days stay in the 30s. With the exception of if we have one of those storms, then all bets are off.

We ran this, with a little supplementary electrical heat during the day -I suspect if we'd got the 30,000 btu one, it would have heated the house completely, even on the colder days.

We don't run it at night, as it's in the living room. And because we're a little chicken of running propane when we sleep. But, in the morning, it brings the room quickly back to toasty -never more than 30 mins.

We installed it ourselves -with a bit of help from my uncle. Runs with two 50 lb=10 gal tanks. One tank lasts just about a week in the colder weather, and costs $24 to fill. So it's only a hundred a month -half what our heating bill was last year.

Last year, even with 3, electric, 15,000 btu heaters running, the house was never as toasty warm as it is with this propane heater.

Only note: If you use the tanks, only turn the knob slightly on. We found it eats through propane quicker if turned fully on. But has no apparent ill effect if the tank is only barely turned on.

And?

The blue flames are just lovely. :)

Highly recommended!

This has been a good little heater for me so far, I am using to heat a fish house. I'm not sure about the review stating that it need to be professionally installed though, to connect it to a 20 lbs cylinder (BBQ tank) you need buy a separate house with a regulator. It is available through Mr. Heater, part # F273072 (12' Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly), I purchased this at my local hardware store.

My only complaint on this heater is that the built in fan doesn't move any air. I'm not even sure why they put it in there, because it really doesn't do anything. I just bought a separate fan to circulate the air and have been pleased with it.

I recently installed this unit in my two car attached garage. I ran black pipe through the wall and attached it to a 20lb LP tank from my grill until I can get a bigger tank. The unit puts out good heat. It comes on at full so dont think you can adjust the output. But what it does do is bring the room up to temp then cycle off per the thermostat. Has some odor but I think that will disapate as it ages and burns off any newness. Battery operated ignition works very well. The only fault I find is the fan. It appears big enough but does not move a lot of air, design flaw perhaps. What it does do well is cycle on and off on it's own if you put it on the auto setting, good feature. I have not had it long enough to determin the gas usage, have my fingers crossed on that one. Overall I am very pleased as it out performs my electric ceiling mounted heater as well as a 23000 btu kerosene heater.

I have one of these heaters that I bought locally. If you want to connect it to a BBQ type jug you have to buy a hose and regulator. This is no big deal and anyone that has ever turned a wrench can hook this up.

Puts out lots of heat! I'm very happy with mine.

The old heater just didn't provide enough heat in sub-freezing weather. This Mr Heater 20k is great. Heats the whole place to comfortable very quickly.

I have returned this product three times. I know, who would be stupid enough to try something like this three times? The first time the heating unit melted after being plugged in for about 10 minutes. The second time the tubes inside weren't even connected which we found out after putting water in to flush the system, huge mess. And then the next day, the water heater melted...again. I called customer service and they were very nice so I decided to try again. This time the water heater won't even come on!! called customer service and the very nice woman suggested that it must be user error. When she ascertained that we were using the piece of crap correctly, she said "well you have to understand, you bought one of our lower end models." Are you kidding me!!! I didn't know that the "lower end" model was just for decoration!!!!

I purchased this item and within 4 months the cooling part of it failed. It took over a month for the manufacturer to send a replacement unit. 2 months later, I walked into the office one morning to find that one of the faucets had started leaking over night and soaked the carpet. I definitely would not recommend this item.

I bought this model to replace an Intermatic 220 volt timer. I wanted to add the freeze protection. However, when my electrician began to install it, we discovered that the clock on this model only runs on 110 volt, therefore you need a "neutral line" to give the clock only 110 volt, but give the equipment 220 volt. Problem was, we didn't have a neutral line for this and had to send the unit back for model PF 1102T, which is all 220volt.

My electrician said that it was not uncommon for a 220volt outlet to be missing the neutral line, since there is no need to pull a neutral line to a 220 only outlet. I hope this helps someone avoid the mistake I made trying to save a little money by ordering PF 1103T and not PF 1102T. PF 1103T model claims it can run both 110 and 220, which is true, only if you are wired with an additional neutral line in your 220 volt outlet.

We added this item to our pool pump control. It seemed to be binding upon first engaged power-up, so I bumped it a little and the pump started. It seems to be limbering up now after a week of operation. The wiring installation was simple. I am concerned now about the freeze protection but I will keep and eye on it, when the weather cools.

The unit looked good out of the box, however, once I had gone through all the effort to mount it and wire it, the clock didn't work. After removing the face, I noticed the clock was loose in the housing so I reset it and it worked for a little while. When the timer came around to the detents it hung up and wouldn't turn the pool on. Once again I had to take it apart and make an adjustment. This happened several times. At the moment it is working, but I would not recommend this product.

This mantle is a beautiful dark oak with cherry undertones. The flames are realistic, and the logs look nice when the fireplace is on or off. You can feel the quiet heater blowing from a distance; it blows down and away. The reflected logs give the illusion of the flames dancing in the middle of a random pile of logs. Ember bed glows and pulsates. Assembled in minutes with a phillips screwdriver, and I am not that handy. Solid, beautiful, heats the room. Very satisfied.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I obtained this product to use in the area of my flat where I keep my computer. Since office buildings often are extremely over-heated in winter, the heat which it produces should be suited to those who tend to become chilled easily. I tried it in October, well before the season when I'd be placing my thermostat at the 65 where it remains all winter, and found it produces only minimal heat. Whether it will get me through the winter chill I cannot say.

It does have some drawbacks. It's compact size and cord holder are definite 'pluses,' and it is energy efficient. However, the directions cautioned against placing it on a desk or tabletop, and instructed that it should be three feet from furniture and fabrics. I was unable to feel much heat from a distance of three feet, and I also would question whether many people would have enough space to keep such an appliance that distance in open space.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Bionaire Office Heater is really well designed for its purpose: to heat your immediate workspace. It's reasonably quiet, which is really important in this context, and it emanates a good amount of heat to keep you comfortable when there's a chill. It's a very basic device: no thermostat, no oscillation/rotation.

Having the motion sensor is also a very good feature. The office or plant manager doesn't like it when employees waste electricity by leaving a heater going all day. This one turns off itself when there's no motion nearby after about 15 minutes.

Right now my wife is using it at her desk in school (she's a teacher). When winter is over, we're planning to use it in the bathroom in our little, unheated spring/summer/fall cottage where nights and mornings are cool all year round. I'll update this if I actually do get to try it out in that setting.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a small compact heater which is meant to give you a little bit of heat when your feet are freezing or your hands need a quick warm up. It is not a heater that you would use to really warm up a room. It is what I call the QUICK FIX heater. I acquired this for my wife, who is constantly cold in the winter time in her office. She simply placed it on the floor under her desk and it gave her enough heat to stop complaining about chills.... The motion sensor makes for this to be energy efficient...walk away for a while and it shuts down and does not waste electricity...which is exactly what you want in an office environment. Its not there to heat a room...but to give you some extra heat...so why have it running when you aren't there.

Excellent product to get rid of that winter chill and frozen feet/hands. 5/5 for us.

Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH4562E-GM Office Heater with Worry Free Motion Sensor

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater is designed to keep your immediate desk area warm and it does just that. I tested it out at work when our temperature dipped down this winter. I rested the heater on my desk (even though it says not to, I just made sure it didn't get too hot) and aimed it towards me like I do with my personal fan during the summer. I liked that it has a motion sensor and turns off if there is no movement for 15 minutes. I also like that you can change it between low, high and motion sensor.

While this heater does not rotate, have a temperature setting or heat a large area; it does what it is designed to do. In my opinion it is a little overpriced and you could buy another heater cheaper that would do the same thing. If you are going to buy it; I would recommend it for an office, bathroom or possibly even a small bedroom.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater works as advertised. It is sold as an office heater, but if you have a large office, it may not be effective. I placed mine under my desk in my home office to warm my tootsies and it works great. It throws a nice amount of steady heat and the fan is not overly loud as to cause a distraction. There are two settings, high and low.

The sensor automatically turns the unit off when you leave the room for a length of time, or, it can be turned off completely. The sensor is a great safety feature and energy saver, as well. Another neat feature is that the cord can be hidden by wrapping it around a hidden pedestal on the bottom of the unit. The unit is fairly small and compact, which allows you to set it on your desk instead of the floor.

All in all, this portable heater is a charm. The only negative is that when you first start using it, you have to suffer through the smelly new plastic odor until the unit is broken in and used for a while. Recommended.

This is a great little heater. I got it for my daughter's room a little over a month ago because Consumer Reports rated it highly. For $25 bucks, it does all I ask. What I like is that you can set it you heat 360 degrees or only push the heat to the front. I set it to the latter, because it's so compact a good place for it is on top of a dresser.

Only thing I wish it had was a digital thermostatic control, but after a couple days of fiddling, you get just the right temperature and can leave it there, tweaking it if necessary.

I bought this heater last year and used it all winter very happily. It worked very well and kept my computer room comfy and warm.

This year i brought it out to use, plugged it in for day use and on the second day it started turning off on me after about 3 min of use. I unplugged it and let it cool off since it got amazingly hot after that 3 min and i discovered the black, round casing with the holes in it that goes around the top, had melted itself open in the back.

I loved this heater last year but can only give it 2 stars due to longevity.

Granted, I've had the heater for a couple of years now... But for this price, the thing should last for years, walk the dogs, and babysit my kids if it's not actually going to heat my home office (10'x12'). Implication being that it doesn't heat my office. Exactly. The heater never worked well, and now it doesn't work at all. It turns on. And it blows warm air ineffectively for anywhere from 2.5 seconds to a minute, then it shuts itself off and doesn't come back on until you've completely forgotten about its existence and your hands are small blocks of ice. It absolutely will not stay on but even when it was new and stayed on a little longer, it was pathetic. Complete junk. No idea where the receipt is. May roof test it because the entertainment I'd get for that would be worth well more than the little puffs of warm air it erratically produces.

I have to say that this product surprised me. I usually have problems with all things electronic, but this frother/heater was so easy to use that it almost makes the directions that come with it useless...ALMOST!

The outside as you can see is a lovely easy to clean, slick and shiny high gloss steel, the interior is nice slippery non-stick surface. The lid has a fitting inside to hold whichever of the whisks you aren't using at the moment. This is perfect so that you don't loose the tiny pieces. It has two different whisks one that makes heated milk with a small amount of foam and the other makes a stiffer froth and will do both heated and cold froth. This is perfect for both winter and summer beverages.

It has a nice length cord so you don't have to keep it snugged up to a plug. It takes about the same amount of time to froth your milk as it does to make a cup of Keurig coffee...maybe a bit longer. ( the frothing time is about 65 to 140 seconds depending on which whisk you choose) but not long enough for your coffee to get cold. With the lid in place any froth you haven't used stays fresh and fluffy, but of course not warm, for several hours in the fridge.

I tried this product with several different kinds of milk from skim mild to full fat milk, (of course full fat works the best) as well as frothing the non-dairy creamers such as International Delight. So you can imagine my glee when I found that it works perfectly with the flavored creamers. I am in coffee heaven and can not wait for the weather to get colder to begin experimenting.

Cleaning is a breeze, simply pull off the whisk you've used and rinse the jug with hot soapy water, rinse clear then dry with a non-abrasive paper towel or soft cloth. Do the same with the dirty whisk.

The directions that come with this are clear and concise. They have large enough print so those who have vision problems shouldn't have problem reading them. The pictures are quite large, descriptive and easy to follow.

If I have any complaints at all is that the fill lines inside the jug are a little difficult to see. However, once you know where they are it becomes easy to figure out just how much milk/creamer to use for your method

The directions booklet even has some recipes inside for using both kinds of whisks and for hot AND cold froth but remember to experiment.

Try to let the jug cool down about 2 minutes in between batches or rinse with cool water in between batches or the frother could stop working temporarily. I am so hooked and thrilled that I don't have to travel several miles a day to get a 'special' coffee fix now.*sample provided by manufacturer*

The Cuissential Milk Frother is just like having a Starbucks in your kitchen without the expense. I've had more fun with this machine whipping up everything from a simple cappuchino to a latte macchiato. Operation is almost intuitive, but not quite. After reading the directions I was good to go in about two minutes. This little gem is good for making a macrofoam, hot or cold that is perfect for all those recipes I always wanted to try, but not pay for in a pricey coffee shop or café. FYI, the macrofoam lasts for quite a while left in the milk container, an especially nice feature if you're not interested in the temperature.

It's perfect for frothed milk either hot or cold. There are indication marks on the inside of the milk container that take the guesswork out of measurement. The two levels are a maximum level for frothed milk and one for heated with a small amount of froth. This is what you see in the cup in the video. There are two disks, a whisk for frothing milk and one for heating and mixing. The spare is stored beneath the transparent lid. There are a lot of safety features built in to the machine. For example, if you pick up the milk container when the frothing is in progress it will stop.

When you press the button on the front you simply scroll up to get the setting you want. The beauty of this machine is that it can be used for either cold or hot beverages. I definitely like the versatility because if I want I can make everything from an iced latte in the summer to hot chocolate on a cold, wintry night. It's really as easy as one, two, three. Put your milk in, place your selection, and wait until it's done. The sleek, stainless look is gorgeous and will fit most kitchen decors and has a relatively small footprint.

Sample provided for review.

Best Deals on Cuissential Deluxe Automatic Milk Frother and Heater, Cappuccino

The Cuissential Deluxe Milk Frother and Heater has a classic modern design that recalls Bauhaus holloware, rendered in polished stainless steel. In a minute or less, it produces a perfectly even microfoam, either hot or cold, for a beautiful cup of cappuccino or other coffee or cocoa beverage with milk.

The jug lifts easily off the base and has a heavy-duty non-stick interior with fill lines for frothed (115 cc) or heated-only milk (250 cc). The lid is transparent with a silicone gasket that fits tightly but removes easily. The power cord is also heavy-duty and about 27 in. long. The heating mechanism is UL-rated for safety.

There are two attachments, a whisk for foam and a stirrer for evenly heating milk without foam. There are two LED indicators, blue for stirring only and red for heating. Press the soft-touch power button for hot milk and hold it down for a second to stir without heating. There is a soft whirring and then the LED flashes when it's ready.

The milk protein provides the structure for the foam. Skim milk makes the finest foam but whole milk has a creamier taste and mouthfeel. I normally buy 2% low-fat milk and it strikes a good balance.

To get all the foam out and also preserve the non-stick finish, either swish a little coffee around the jug or else use a silicone mini-spatula or feeding spoon.

When making several batches of heated milk, clean the jug with a soapy sponge or dishrag between uses to avoid building up a film of cooked milk.

This automatic milk frother and heater from Cuissential is superior to manual or electric stick frothers because it heats the milk to the correct temperature, produces an excellent foam, and is so quick and easy and fun to use.
