Buy England's Stove Works Wood Pellet Stove

Customer Ratings:

I bought this stove 2 years ago when they were priced at $1050.00. For the money it is a great little stove for the money they are asking now there are a lot more stoves' out there with better features, like: Ash Draw and agitator. If this stove had that I would buy another one. But now you have to shut down the stove everyday to clean it and the 40lb. hopper only uses about 30lbs and then shut downs. If there were an agitator to burn all of the pellets you could get the 14 hours burning time instead you get about 8 10 hours. If they dropped their price back to $1050, I would buy this stove. It has not broken down and heats my whole 1600 sq ft house during our New England winters.

We bought the England's Stove Works 25-PDV pellet stove. If the stove worked properly, it would be a fantastic piece of machinery. Unfortunately, from the beginning, the stove has not worked smoothly. Have had blower issues, auger issues, constant noise, error messages, and consistent shutdowns. To those who claim that product and customer service fabulous, I say, "Wow!" Are you sure?? We've had nothing but heartache right from the beginning. The stove is cleaned and maintained daily to the utmost degree. You'd think the machinery was a Lamborghini instead of a pellet stove. Horrible, horrible, despicable product. So unreliable & problematic. Would never go near this company for endless reasons again. Should have done more homework. The company does not provide technical services (everything is your own out-of-pocket expense even if the parts are under warranty), 24 hour customer service is not available, and no weekend customer service at all. To think that Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware all carry this product... ONLY in America. Interested in reading more about England's Stove Works?

We purchased this in November 08 and have used it since. We live in Minnesota in a old 2 story house and it heats our home very well. The only complaints I have is that we need to shut it down and clean it every day and a couple of times it has shut down on its own. I will tell you that it is really a multifuel as this winter we have burned oats in it as our corn did not dry down enough to be picked this fall. When it is real cold -15 or lower we add some wood pellets to our oats for extra heat. We never have to have the stove over 5 no matter how cold. The truth is last winter when we burned corn we had trouble with it being to warm so we would add wood pellets for less heaat. So I would recommend this stove highly. We did have one opportunity and I do mean opportunity to work with Customer Service and it was wonderful. They did not talk down to me even though I am a woman. Other companies need to learn what real customer service is from this company. I called them because I the stove was making more noise then when we first started using it, about 1 month later and no questions they sent out a new motor and did not even want the other returned. I can not tell you how good they are to work with. As I read in anohter person comment they also called us to make sure we had recieved the part and to see if every thing was ok a week after I called them. Our son bought a American Harvest Stove and has had a lot of trouble with it and US Stoves (manufacturer) customer service is terrible. It took 6 times of waiting online, at least 30 minutes each time, for him to talk to anyone and all he got was the run around. He had his a year before we bought ours that is why we did not go with that brand. Like I said the big negative is that we have to clean it once a day. GREAT Company.

Honest reviews on England's Stove Works Wood Pellet Stove

After looking at pellets stoves in my local area and reading reviews on them, I decided to buy a England's Stove from Homedepot.com. I saw other stoves that looked nicer, with fake bricks and bigger windows, but for the price and excellent reviews I choice this stove. They said that customer service was great and let me tell you they are. I called several times for stupid reasons and the staff was so nice and helpful(and spoke English which was great for me). The stove also comes with a instructional video, which was wonderful when my husband had to change the gaskets and do the yearly maintenance. I love my stove and the heat it gives me during the winter months, I live on a cement slab and it really helps. Thank you England Stove.

I got my stove in August 2008, I had issues with a couple wires that ran too close from a metal flange where due to heat It melted the wires causing a short.

Customer service was excellent, they replaced all damaged parts under warranty no questions asked!

Customer service called at my home and mobile phone to make sure all was OK, you just dont get this type of service anymore!

Emails were also exchanged and detail explanation send, It just dont get any better than that.

Very happy with the heat output, Its plenty of heat for a 1800 sq ft colonial type home.

Thanks for a great value and service!!

I will be getting a second unit for my bsmt next year!

Cheap Frigidaire FAH12ER2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I recently moved to a Co-op Complex that has Emerson in the wall units. This unit is easy to install (but very heavy), blows very cold air out and the remote is easy to use. It comes with the stuffer sealer and replacement sealer for inside the wall sleave. My living room is 12' wide and is approx. 36' long. The air circulates rather well and after having the A/C on for a little while, the temperature reader on the remote control did drop severl degrees. This was when we had a heat wave of 93 degrees or higher for several days in a row. It defiantly is powerful, I had the bathroom door closed and it was hot in there while the living room was noticably cooler than earlier. For 12,000 BTU the energy rating was not bad at 9.0 but its not an energy star model. Still, it was much better than the 20 year old A/C that it replaced. I believe the other model that was less than 12,000 BTU had an energy efficiency rating of 9.4 which my maintence guy said isn't really noticable and the new Frigidaire 12,000 BTU model is much better at energy efficiency than the old Emerson that I replaced it with. Still when I replace the other 2 Emerson A/C's I think I'll stick with Frigidaire.

Update: 7/26/08

This unit is great! My electric bill is not making me twist my head like from The Exorcist. I just bought its middle sibling, the 10,000 BTU unit for my bedroom and its great. My bill only slightly went up a few dollars but that was it. Last year when I had the Emersons going, the bill was constantly over $70. I got the 10,000 BTU A/C for $350 from PCR. The 12,000 BTU A/C from the same place was about $410 last year. Frigidaire and LG are the only products that we buy. (major appliances)

For a 12000 BTU unit there are some givens: it's going to be heavy, it's will raise your electric bill some to have it running, and it's going to make a little noise. If you can live with those things, this is a great unit.

You should know: this unit requires a single 20 amp, 230 V outlet #10 or #12 wire from the outlet to the breaker. It should be on its own circuit breaker (2-pole breaker). Installation of the wall sleeve was challenging due to poorly written instructions, which caused me to take the heavy unit in and out of the sleeve a few times. Installation of the A/C unit itself is pretty straightforward: slide it into the wall sleeve, stuff insulation around gaps (also sprayed some Great Stuff for extra measure), slide in the edge trim, plug it in.

The room I installed this in is a 400 sq ft bonus room over our garage. We let the A/C run if we're actually in the room. The room never gets chilly, but the unit keeps it comfortable before installation it was uncomfortably hot. We watch TV or the kids play in this room. When the unit is on high fan we turn up the volume on the TV about 10 dB (a minor adjustment), and the fan is background white noise. Not enough to be bothersome, but this is by no means a silent unit.

The remote on this particular model doesn't have a temperature sensor. Great idea but you won't see it with this model. In the place of the "remote sensor" button is a button simply labeled "heat."

The unit has three control options: fan control, temperature control, and timer control. You can set the fan to low, medium, high or "Auto Temp," which means it automatically blows high until the desired temperature is reached, then it will switch to a lower fan setting. Lower fan speeds are quieter. The temperature options are cool, heat, fan only, and "Energy Saver," which the manual describes as: "In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the unit cooling system starts again." The timer allows you to do a delayed start, a delayed stop, or sleep mode. Sleep mode will adjust the temperature (up in cool mode, down in heat mode) 2 degrees at a time every 30 minutes. After adjusting the temperature twice it will maintain the temperature for seven hours. We don't sleep in our bonus room, so you decide if that feature is useful to you.

I bought one of these about three years ago to heat up my natural hookah coals that can not be lit with just a lighter. In that time the thing had been dropped, kicked around, and my roommate left it out in the rain, twice, and it still worked great.

I finally bought a new one even though I technically did not need to and it is still a great product. However, the only other thing I have ever used it for was heating up food like a pot of baked beans. I have never tried to boil water or fry an egg in a pan so I do not know well it works for things like that. Otherwise, a great product.

I bought this to use in the flower pot meat smoker from Good Eats. The thermostat made it cut off the first time I used it, but it is a breeze to take apart. When I put just the heating element inside the flower pot and put the controller outside, it worked perfectly.

I was hesitant to buy this when I read some of the reviews saying that it was not powerful enough. I actually just smoked a pork shoulder with the eye only at the medium setting. So those poeple that cant get it hot enough even on the highest setting just don't know what they are doing. ALL of the single eye burners have a "safety" feature that prevents the unit from getting too hot. The only thing you gain from buying a more powerful unit is a heat sensor that allows for a higher ambient temperature before it shuts off. If you dont mind spending the extra money then a more powerful burner is the easy fix but its overkill because you need a more you just need to get above 200 degrees before it shuts off. There are two tricks to getting this thing hot enough first and most important...YOU MUST USE A CAST IRON SKILLET OR SMOKER BOX....even if you dont need it for the wood chips. The cast iron holds enough heat that even when your eye shuts off the pot doesnt completely cool. The second trick requires a little bit of hacking but it is SUPER easy. Just unscrew the base from the heating coil, remove the wires from the contacts and put the base under your flower pot. That way you have a nice layer of terra cotta insulating that annoying heat sensor from the heat that you are trying to cook with. Once you do that , it actually gets TOO hot if you dont adjust the temperature down. I actually saw my temp climb to over 300 degrees. By keeping the base right under the flower pot and turning the temperature dial down the little bit of heat that escapes through the hole is enough to trigger the thermostat in the base to shut off. Of course this means that you will have to pay attentiion to the temperature the first time you use it but after that you just mark the appropriate setting with a sharpie for the next smoke session.

Honest reviews on Maxi-Matic Elite Cuisine Single Burner 750-Watt Hot Plate

This is a very cheaply made coil burner. Right out of the box I thought it was broken because the coil itself moves all around on the top and it held in place mostly by the two flimsy wires that make it heat up. Also, the power indicator light never worked. I would highly recommend purchasing a burner that costs a little more. I wish I had.

It arrived nicely packed and everything . I was so happy to finally have ac because my old one broke and i needed to replace it as soon as possible because it was like 100 degrees outside. worked for like 4 minutes and then it stopped . Great now what? Good it has the warranty. It was hard to get someone to come out and fix it. It took over a week for people to come out .. So they took ac with them . they said once its fixed they will call me. Its been 2 weeks and no one is calling me. I called them and all they are saying the replacement parts havent arrived yet. OMG how much longer I am suffocating from the heat!!!so seriously its beed like a month and i am without ac.

We replaced a GE AZ41H12DAB 11,800 BTU Unit and I was concerned with GE's durability since that unit was only about 5 years old. However the condenser fan had broken on that unit and while performing that simple repair I decided to clean up the base plate and repaint it and most likely caused a slow leak in the refrigerant system because it worked well for a short period before quitting again. With that unit using the older refrigerant that is getting costly to buy and the cost of diagnosis and repair I decided to replace it and worry about fixing it later so I will have a spare unit. Some research led me to stick with GE because of their reputation for durability and that they are one of the quietest and the most efficient PTACs made.

Slid the old one out, slid this one in, hooked up the external programmable digital thermostat, plugged it in and it works like a charm. The 15K BTU runs for much shorter periods than the older 12K BTU unit and the best thing is that it is much quieter than the old unit. It is the quietest PTAC I have ever heard.

I purchased this extension cable to feed to an electric snowblower. It works very well and maintains its flexibility in 0 degree weather. The voltage loss is well within what I expected and the power light in the end let me know when I had pulled the plug out of the socket. The tines are not as strong as I expected, but the bent back well. So it is important to secure the cable so that you don't put strain on the plug.

I bought this cord to use with my electric snow blower and electric weed trimmer. It is a great heavy duty cord. The bright blue color helps it stick out in the green grass so you don't accidentally cut it. I haven't had a chance to try it in the winter, but I have a lot of faith it will be great, being a Coleman product.

Edit: I've used this cord with my electric snow blower over one whole winter now. It stays nice and flexible in below freezing temperatures. No issues with the cord so far.

I just wanted a basic, safe radiant heater to heat a walk-in closet approx 7ft x 5ft. The winter temp. in there is usually about 48 degrees. This mini radiator seemed perfect given its compact size. Having unpacked the heater, I quickly discovered one of the two supplied screws was useless, so I attached the 'foot' with the one remaining screw which seemed to hold it in place. After placing the heater in the closet, it gradually warmed the temperature at a rate of about 1 degree every 2 hours over the first 24 hours (so don't expect any miracles from this mini-heater). It is now maintaining a temp of about 63 degrees and seems to cycle on and off about 8 times per hour. For our purposes it is doing what we need it to, however, I would not recommend this unit if you are seeking to heat a larger space than about 6ft x 6ft, or if you require rapid heat (unless you are prepared to sit within 2ft of it).

I estimate it is costing about 75c per day to run this thing and it needs to be left on all day because it takes too long to warm anything up if the room temperature is allowed to drop. In hindsight, I would probably have been better off using a larger heater that could be used only in the evening and overnight. We also have a larger DeLonghi EW7707 radiator in another room which is fantastic the trade-off is the larger size of the unit, but running costs could well be lower if it is used correctly.

My daughters room is the coldest in the house so I put it in there. My son is 2 years old, so I needed something safe. This 500 watt unit won't burn anybody. I love that it has no fans since my last space heater had the fan fail and almost catch fire.

Some people complain that this is only good for heating their bedroom 5 or 10 degrees. But that is what a space heater is supposed to do.... this isn't a whole house heater.

My daughters room is 13 feet by 13 feet with two exterior facing concrete block walls. Decent size room with relatively poor insulation, and it does exactly what I need.

Where I live winter lows can get into the teens, so I don't have the harsh winters of the northern states, but I would recommend this unit.

Well, the foot was attached in a minite with the 2 screws provided and works great for me. I agree that it is not for a large space. I sit right by it.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-6002 Mini Portable Oil Filled Radiator Heater

It is way too small in heating capacity. If you want to heat a very tiny area such your feet under a desk, it would be fine. I think it shuts off way too often. So upon realizing it would not meet the needs, I contacted the company and make long story short was given a bit of a run-around and ended up they would not let me return it. So we are using it since we have it. I would say it is better than nothing.

I am editing my review now. I forgot to mention that when I called the manufacturer early on to say the thermostat did not work correctly that basically I was told so sad, too bad. So I continued to use it and no matter what you set the thermostat on it does not matter; does same thing. NOW THE NEWEST CHAPTER is that I was just moving it over a bit and the on/off button just fell out in the floor. Some other piece also fell out. Even though we didn't like the thing, it was never mistreated. The button cannot be replaced so into the dumpster it all goes. What a total waste of money.

Be very careful not to tilt unit when transporting it if tilted it MUST sit for at least two hours before starting it. This unit has worked well continuously for two weeks. I put it on a sill-height table so that the water would drain well and the exhaust tube would be straight. My only complaints are:

1. The fan never goes off no matter what setting it is on (the compressor does go off, but not the fan).

2. When cooling, a lot of heat is generated in the exhaust hose an insulation sleeve would be nice.

3. The drain tube is way too short.

The machine was fairly easy to set up, and it does cool the room reasonably well, but I was expecting a heat pump....not so----according to the documentation received with the machine, there is an auxiliary heater, NOT a heat pump. We will see how well this heater works this winter. One other thing....the fan runs continuously, it does not shut off when the compressor kicks off, and it is fairly noisy.

This unit has kept my kitchen down to 77 with its thermostat set on 72 during the summer's first 90-plus days here. Not bad, since I knew I was buying a portable (and therefore less efficient) A/C instead of a window or through-the-wall unit.

The salesman told me it had an internal bucket to collect the water, and that it would shut off automatically when full. He said it didn't have automatic evaporation of the moisture created by cooling and dehumidifying, which is common in modern portable A/C units, but I was fine with having an internal bucket and automatic shutoff. Just like the various dehumidifiers I've owned. However, after I'd paid a separate contractor to bring this very heavy unit to my home (the appliance store considered it "cash and carry" and therefore ineligible for their usual delivery service), I found out that it has no internal bucket. The owner has to attach a garden hose and use an external bucket, which will merrily overflow if the unit is left running with no one at home to empty that bucket as needed. Since the drain hose plug is lower than most windows, putting the hose out the window and letting it drain outside isn't practical unless the A/C unit can be raised off the floor.

The air exhaust hose does just love to come loose, and duct tape is the answer. Also, you'll need to either take the whole hose assembly out of the window so you can shut the window against heavy, wind-driven rain; or you'll need to rig some sort of outside cover for the hose, because that hose leads down into the machine and it's just begging to funnel rain inside.

Overall this unit meets my needs, but it wouldn't if I had hoped to leave it running while away from home for long periods of time. I have no idea why Frigidaire thinks an external drip bucket is a great idea, or why they can't come up with a better air exhaust hose design. From a major brand name, in an expensive machine, I expected better.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA12EPT1 12,000 BTU Portable Heat/Cool Air Conditioner

My ancient apartment has almost no ventilation throughout and is always ten to fifteen degrees hotter than outside. Those crazy summer heatwaves sometimes get my room into the high 90s and as high as 105-110! It is unbearable. I could no longer take the sleepless nights in the heat and picked up one of these units. I had to "ghetto rig" the exhaust hose up to the crank out style window using a ton of cardboard and duct tape. I have it sitting on a metal computer desk that is level with the window sill.

Pros:

-Will drop the temp of the room around ten-fifteen degrees and keep it there. While not as great a window mounted unit, I'll gladly take 85 degrees over 95. The best performance I've seen so far is walking into my room @ 85 degrees and eventually getting it down to 70 (took 6 hours of continuous use).

-Remote.

-Timer so you don't end up running it all night.

-Not as loud as I was expecting it.

Cons:

-Produces a ton of water via the drain. It took no time to fill up a five gallon bucket.

-Air blows straight up. I had to rig a piece of cardboard to deflect the cold air into the rest of the room instead of straight into the ceiling and back towards the hot exhaust tube.

-The exhaust hose always comes loose from the unit

-Exhaust hose is not as flexible as I was hoping.

A quick tip I'd like to provide is sealing up all the doors and windows leading into the room you have the unit working in. The edges around my door have huge gaps that let in tons of hot air from the rest of the apartment. Some foam sealant tape and a door sweep helped with those problems and contribute to keeping the room cool.

The unit cools well and is reasonably quiet, but it leaks onto the floor (drain hose is hooked-up and functioning). The exhaust hose flange mounting is marginal as one locking tab has failed. Not the end of the world, but I've enough things to fix.
