Discount GE WB44X200 Bake Element for GE, Hotpoint, and RCA Wall Ovens

Customer Ratings:

Our oven element in the very old GE P7 oven broke and our local appliance shop no longer does repairs. I located this replacement part after doing some research and the price was much less than from other sources and it was easily replaced in about 5 minutes with only a screwdriver and turning off the power. It works perfectly.

I was a little apprehensive buying a replacement heating element and installing it myself, but it turned out to be quick and easy! I saved at least $100 doing this project myself! I am a middle-aged female who is somewhat handy, and this was an easy project for me.

Got this to fix a broken element in a hotpoint oven. Works great, but barely fit since it ended up being longer than my previous one. Make sure you measure your old element and don't go off the shape.

When our heating element went out on our GE oven I thought we were done for -until I found this replacement! It was easy to install and worked perfectly. We do need to remodel our entire kitchen but that won't happen for a while and I don't want to start buying appliances piecemeal. This was a life saver!

If I'd known that replacing this element would make the oven perform better I would have replaced it years ago. The last several years my wife would set the oven temperature higher than the recipe's temperature because the actual temperature was always about 25 degrees lower. One day my wife was roasting some meat and could not get it to temperature at all it had finally failed.

The new element has been in use a few months now and glows brightly and evenly and my wife says the oven gets to temperature quicker. I am just glad we did not have to replace the wall oven (General Electric model J KP62GOK3 BG; Nov. 1988) as it has a matching microwave above it. I was looking at a total replacement cost of about $2,000 and have not been real happy with the reliability of new appliances.

Replacement was straightforward and took 5-10 minutes. I did test the old element with a multi-meter before purchasing the new one. A few YouTube queries gave me the instruction I needed (e.g., "Replacing an Oven Coil (Bake Element)" and "Bake and Broil Element Testing").

Review of The Original SUNHEAT Electronic Infrared Zone Heater with Remote

Update 03/06/2013

I have had the heater for about two weeks and it had worked flawlessly. I use it to supplement the heat from our heat pump when the heat pump cannot keep up. Its usually when the temperature is in the teens or below zero.

I'm increasing the star rating of the product to Five stars with the some notes and comments.

Product ***** (5 Stars) Works as described and if you are lucky to get a undamaged product.

Product Packaging * (1 Star) I would advise the company to package the product with a lot more padding. The heater is a heavy items and everytime I have received the heater, the accompanying styroform padding is disintegrated when I open the carton

Price *** (3 Stars) I bought the Sunheat original heater, Black Cherry color that sells for $329. The other colors sells for $379 and it is still somewhat expensive.

Power consumption I will update once I have a meaasure the power consumption

Customer service ***** (5 Stars) Amazon customer service is outstanding. Even when I had to deal with 3 defective/damages heaters and one empty box incident that didnt' contain any content, Amazon customer service was outstanding

OTHER NOTES:

I use the Sunheat heater in the living room and feel safe using the heater with a toddler walking/crawling around. The issue I face is that there should be some way to lock out the control buttons on the main heater unit as my curious toddler seems to press the buttons on the unit and mess up the settings. Since the unit already comes with a remote, I would suggest that the manufacturer please look into incorporating this feature which would be very beneficial for the consumer.

Update 02/18/2013

I placed a new order for the Sunheat heater (Black Cherry color) on 02/18/2013 and received the heater on 02/20/2013. The heater arrived in one piece without any issues. Let me review the heater once its been used for a couple of months. Stay tuned....

Update 02/08/2013

When I placed a replacement order for the Sunheat Black Cherry heater, the website showed that it was out of stock. I checked the order status daily. I was happy when I saw that my replacemewnt order had the message that it was shipping soon. When I tracked the replacement Sunheat heater, the UPS tracking information showed it was delivered on 02/05/2013 and was left at my front door. When I went home from work, I saw a smaller box left at my front door that could not physically contain the Sunheat heater due to its dimensions. Also the box was light as a feather. I opened the box and there were some brown paper packing materials in it. An empty box was shipped to me by the amazon fulfilment center. When looking at the Amazon website, the inventory for the Sunheat Black Cherry color still showed out of stock. I called Amazon customer service and explained the situation. Amazon customer service infromed me that they will refunded me the amount. They asked me place a new order when the item is back in stock. I'm still curious to know as to how I managed to get an empty box without nothing in it. All in all I'm still without a Sunheat heater.

Initial Review

==============

I ordered the original Sunheat infrared zone heater with the remote on January 17th 2013. I ordered the Black color and paid $379.00. It was delivered to me on January 22nd 2013. I'm an Amazon Prime memeber and this was delivered using 2 day shipping option. The heater had its own cardboard box, that was shipped inside an amazon box. I opened the heater and noticed that the wood cabinet had a small ship on the side. Hence I requested a replacement. The replacement was ordered on January 22nd and was delivered to me on January 25th via Amazon Prime. Everything looked fine outside the heater. But when I picked it up I could hear noises of nuts and bolts loose and clanking inside the unit. Even though I wanted to return this, I wanted to give the unit another try. As far as the heater it functioned without any issues. But I was not able to set the heaters internal clock. I set the internal clock to 8:24PM and after ten minutes later, when I checked the clock, it still showed 8:24PM. (The internal clock is an essential component of the heater and it is used to program the start and stop times). I wanted to get a replacement unit and placed the order. But I cancelled the order for the Black unit as I saw the unit with the color I wanted at a cheaper price offered by Amazon. I order the Sunheat heater with the Black Cherry color for $329 ($50 cheaper than the Black color) on January 25th and it was delivered to me on January 29th. The outside of the cardboard box looked tattered and beaten up. I still opened the box thinking the packaging inside might protect the heater. But I was incorrect in my assumption. The heater was pretty beat up and whole cabinet unit fell apart when taken out of the box and also there were lots of big nicks and dents on the cabinet. I have requested for the replacement and I'm awaiting to receive it.

Positives

Very good zone heater if you are lucky in getting an undamaged unit

Fast shipping if you are a Amazon Prime Member

Depening on the color choices, you can find the prices cheaper. Example Black unit sells for $379 where as the Black Cherry sells for $329

Amazons hazzle free return policy

Negatives

Bad packaging/carton that disintegrates during shipment

Hit and miss on the receiving a good working heather. (Seems like playing the lottery)

Cheap Dimplex TDS8515TB Celeste Electric Stove, Glossy Black

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $499.00
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: $0.31 Off

The Dimplex Celeste Stove is well made and a much better value than the cheaper stoves that are available.

The "fire" in the stove is realistic especially the glowing embers. To a casual glance it looks like a real fire (although with careful examination the "flames" are not as realistic). The cabinet is very sturdy and gives a well-built feel. The cream color is nice and the finish is durable.

Note that the stove can use a lot of electricity 15 amps when the fire, air filter, and heater are all working. If you have it plugged into a 15 amp circuit any additional load (a lamp, tv, etc.) on the circuit will trip the circuit breaker. Ideally it should have a dedicated circuit for its exclusive use.

I bought this item about Three Years ago We progressed from a wood burning fireplace, to a Gas insert ( really beautiful but expensive to use), "Down" to this unit. I would never have dreamed that THIS solution would be far the best.

Instant heat ( if you want ) , and a SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, very realistic looking

"flame". After all this time using it I'm still tempted to touch the top to make sure it isn't overheating . It looks that real.

Recently I moved this unit to our Bedroom and put a Dimplex electric fireplace insert in the fireplace ( Dimplex Deluxe 23" insert ~ $300 on Amazon). I like it

very much, but I must admit I still prefer the "old stove" for the absolutely best looking flame. You can't go wrong with Dimplex. They are the Gold Standard for realistic electric fires.

Honest reviews on Dimplex TDS8515TB Celeste Electric Stove, Glossy Black

We purchased this unit to help us heat a medium/large space in our 80 year old that isn't as well insulated or heated as the rest of the house. With the house thermostat set to 67 degrees, that room is 62 in the morning when we wake up and it's in the low 30s at night. So we got this heater...

Pros:

-nice looking

-heats the room rather well...about 2 degrees per hour (not fast, but it's not a big unit, but then will hold it there pretty well)

Cons

-thermostat in the back so a little hard to reach

-can't set a particular temperature, have to let the room get comfortable and then dial down until you hear a "click"

-thermostat seems rather sensitive (slightly further turning = room gets too cold/too warm)

-no timer to allow it to turn on automatically in the AM

-3-stage "on" settings where heat is the last stage...can't have JUST heat, must have fire as well. Air filter/blower WILL be on at all times if you want heat (cycle goes: fire on --> fire + blower on --> fire + blower + heater on)

All in all satisfied, but I wish it had a little more control over the temperature and I wish you could set it to have JUST heat on so it came on/off with thermostat.

Great looking stove, however, I find that there is no much heat thrown out. Over time the room does get heated but not very fast. My last stove had two fan speeds; which helped move the heated air much quicker. THis unit does not have that feature and I miss it.

Well constructed, heavy cast iron, very realistic fire and logs!

Review of Jerdon Warmrails Mid Size Wall Mounted or Floor Standing Towel

Customer Ratings:

I'd seen Warmrails in a store, and ended up at amazon looking for the cheapest model I could find. We had more towels than we had towel racks (a wife and three kids can do that to you), and my towel was rarely completely dry for my morning shower. I wanted, if nothing else, an extra free-standing towel rack to put it on to air dry. So I tried this.

It worked better than I expected. Not only is my towel dry each morning for my shower, but when we put two other towels on it after the kids have a bath, they're dry by morning as well! Three towels, folded (so there's a six-towel thickness) neatly over the top of the rack will dry just fine in just 8-12 hours -and the innermost towel ends up nice and toasty warm (the outtermost will basically be room temperature, maybe just slightly warmer on the half that's closest to the rack, but all three will be completely dry).

Some reviewers were disappointed their towels weren't toasty-warm -in that case, I'd suggest a higher-priced model with denser heating elements, or putting extra towels on top and using from the inside. The manual does point out that how well it works will vary according to where you put it in your home -in particular they recommend against any drafty places. Ours is in the master bedroom, just outside the master bath, and even with a ceiling fan on at times, it seems to do just fine.

All in all, it's more expensive than a towel rod from the local home store, but you don't have to attach it to the wall (a plus for me, as I didn't know where I'd put it if it weren't free standing). It's also probably cheaper on the electric bill (and easier) than dropping towels in the dryer each day.

I was very disappointed with the Warm Rails. The only thing that was warm was the 1 inch space of the towel on the top of the rail. I left it warming overnight, no improvement. I would not recomend this product to anyone who desires warm towels.

I bought this towel warmer as a gift for my husband and was horribly disappointed with it as was he. The bar got very warm while the towel stayed nice and cool. We even tried the suggestions of putting several towels on it at a time, this too failed. This product may be okay if you're looking for a drying rack but don't be fooled in to thinking that it will warm your towels.

Honest reviews on Jerdon Warmrails Mid Size Wall Mounted or Floor Standing Towel

I got this about a week ago. I use this everyday to prevent towels from smelling like mildew. In winter, the towel seems to take forever to dry after shower, which often results in that foul smell. I don't think it "warms" the towel too well (barely lukewarm at best), but it does dry a wet towel pretty effectively. Prior to getting this warmer, I washed all towels after 2 showers, but now the towels smell clean and fresh longer. So don't buy it to use it as a "warmer," you may be disappointed. But it would be good to use as a dryer. And, oh yeah, I wish it were a bit smaller in size. It takes up quite a bit of space. Happy shopping!

I sooo have wanted a heated towel rack ever since I saw a hard wired one at a luxury home I visited. So I was thrilled when I saw Warmrails at the superstore near my home. It was priced at $49. I didnt buy it that day, but did return a few weeks later. It wasnt on the floor, so I made them get it for me from the storage room.

It was very easy to assemble you just snap the "feet" stands on. I was also impressed at how little floor space it takes up. I have a 3 ft X 15 ft bathroom, and the WarmRails takes up very little space and lines up well against the wall without actually touching it. The chrome is also an attractive design and finish, although mine didnt come with a wall mounting bracket.

Functionality is very 'meh'. Like the other reviewers, I am dissapointed with my Warmrails. My towels are not warm. The bar gets hot and the towels are fresh and dry, but not warm. I even out my robe on there and it didnt get warm either. Maybe this thing is good for households who re-use towels over and over and leave them hanging damp on the rack. When my towels are wet after the shower, I just throw them in the laundry (which doesnt amount to too much as I'm living on my own right now.) So I get fresh dry towels anyway.

I'm going to try to return this thing today and get my money back. I'll do some research and see if I can buy an actual towel warmer that *warms*.

Fairly easy to install in the wall mount of an old heater. This is a simple heater, with a single on-off switch plus thermostat all in one control. I would prefer a separate on-off switch, so that heat settings would be preserved if you turn it off at night, and with the controls near the top of the unit rather than near the bottom. Noise of fan seems less than the old one.

Kicks out some real heat at the 4kw level. we put it on a timer and had it come on and off automatically, problem was the fan wasn't allowed to cool the heat coils down enough and then it would trip the high heat sensor. The it wouldn't start back up without hitting it's reset. Bad application for it. The fan has to cool down the coils after the termostat is satisfied.

Aquios Full House Water Softener and Filter System Reviews

List Price: $599.00
Sale Price: $477.17
Today's Bonus: 20% Off

I purchased the Aquios unit from Amazon right before Christmas and had it professionally installed a little over a week ago. For anyone concerned about the installation costs, I hired a local plumber and he was able to install the unit for $150 including parts, and it took him less than an hour. I'm sure someone with good plumbing skills and basic tools could easily install the softener themselves; I simply know my limitations and elected to have it installed properly.

I couldn't be happier with the results. My wife and I started noticing a difference in our water quality immediately, and it keeps getting better every day. True, this unit may not match the classic definition of a water softener since it does not use salt, but if crystal-clear water, no chemical taste, elimination of scale buildup and essentially maintenance-free operation is what you are looking for in a whole-house conditioning system, then the heck with "classic" definitions.

We've both noticed a better "feel" from our water in the shower, and the amount of soap and shampoo we use in order to feel clean has been drastically reduced. The first time I used my espresso machine with our "new" water, it was like night and day. The coffee carafe did not show any signs of lime or scale buildup, whereas previously I would have to wash the container out with soap and hot water after each use. Our water was so hard, we had to scrub the toilet bowls daily to keep them clean, and now all of those water stains and "gunk" have simply disappeared. The shower mirror stays crystal clear with no signs of haze, and our water tastes great right from the tap.

It puzzles me how someone could write a review for a product they've never used. So, even though this unit does not use salt, who cares??? If its results you're looking for, I would recommend you take a close look at the Aquios system as a viable alternative to salt-based conditioners.

We've had this installed for $140 by our plumber.Someone else gave us a price of $395 for the same installation,so be careful and call around for prices.We feel it works great.We can now drink water from the faucet with no after taste and you can install it just about anywhere.We had ours installed in the garage where our pipes run thru.We've been using it since September 2012,and still working fine.Filters with (EOC),which is what we got and are only $10 more,are suppose to last a family of four for six months,So,I expect to get 8 to 10 months use for just my wife and myself.Our plumber said,he doesn't know why more people don't use this type of softener/filter instead of spending thousand's for something that'll do the same thing this will.It DOES NOT affect our water pressure at all.There was absolutely no difference,and the filter's are easy to replace.Just unsrew the top,pull the old filter out and slide the new one in,but,don't forget to soak the filter for 15 minute's before putting the filter in.We live in Tucson,AZ,and our water is very hard.This system did the trick.It's also saving our appliance's,water heater,faucet's,dish washer,toilet's,etc from the calcium build-up we got before.We actually had to take our water heater out and flush all the calcium chunks out in the yard.We don't hear those chunks banging against the side of the water heater anymore from the pressure inside.I recommend this water softener.If it works in Arizona,where the water is very hard,it should work most anywhere,and the cost of it is very reasonable for what it does,plus the extra life it is giving our appliance's and our skin and hair and having water you drink.I'm pretty picky guy,so,you can trust this review and I DO NOT work for Aqious.

Also,it arrived ahead of the actual delivery date stated.

I had this installed last week in a home we just bought. We didn't notice a change right away in the water quality. We have horrible water where we live (an ag city).

I had it tested when we first moved in and and it was over 185 ppm. It was like soap when washing the car. It literally came out like soap and left bubbles and film on the car. We wouldn't touch the stuff for drinking. Anyways, the stainless steel sink in the kitchen was covered in hard water film along with the fixtures in the bathrooms. We are on a full galvanized pipe install under the house along with the guest house / garage. There was some copper pipes but they were toast and I removed them, went full steel and grounded the pipes (house been around since the 50's and the steel was still goodkind of makes me wonder why people recommend copper over steel when the copper was destroyed.. I'm not sure about plastic but the pipes under the house look like new, and came apart like new (60+ years old)just were it was joined with copper is where I found issues. I think it's just plumbers would rather save money on installing plastic. (Just my opinion after seeing these galvanized pipes myself)

Installed this on the main and replaced the old shutoff with a lever. A week later the sinks are clean and the water is much better (not perfectI wouldn't drink it but much better). It has a bypass that's easy to use for the nights when the sprinklers come on. Bypass every other night until I can fix the sprinklers that keep getting kicked. We are happy with the purchase.

I put a reverse osmosis system on the kitchen sink for drinking water. We should have a real water softener but I just wanted to try this first. Think we saved ourselves $500. You don't really need the softener. This thing is good enough to keep the film and soapy water that comes from the city from sticking to everything. The replace filter costs $60 but I talked with someone who said he goes 2 years without replacing his whole house filter. Guess we'll have to see.

Honest reviews on Aquios Full House Water Softener and Filter System

I researched long and hard for a water softener as I have recently bought a new home, with new washer dryer and tankless water heater.In my area it is known for some hard water and with that being said we all know what hard water does to your appliances let alone fixtures. Wanted to start with the mindset of living here for the rest of my life.

This unit has improved the taste of the water and has stopped hard water significantly in my home. It has been 2 months and we have not had to wiped down our showers for build up, only for regular cleaning. Sinks are clean and the tank less water heater keeps up with high demand on a lower temperature setting. All in all I believe this was a great investment for my needs.

For reference 3600 sqft home with 3 adults and 2 children.

Below are my findings after doing a lot of initial research before buying the Aquios system and hope to help out others.

There are 3 systems that are widely implemented:

1) Most used is salt based water softners

2) Water Filtrations systems that as a byproduct soften the water

3) Newest technology is the Magnetic

So far after reading it all, salt based are best used when there is serious, serious hardwater. Basically if you see rings in your toilet, and you feel so dry after a shower. Cons of salt based systems are that your water feels a little soapy and if you use your tap water to cook and make coffee. This of course is because there is added salt in your diet due to the softener. Not recommended for those with sodium health problems. Costs for the salt based softeners start as low as $80 up to $500. Usually has to be maintained every 1 to 2 months. Costing $10-$20 ea time.

Water Filtration systems are mid level to mid-high cases of hard water. They are a filtration system that will also help with softening up the water. With this product you get a two in one system and if you think about it will also prolong your appliances a bit longer as it will also take out further contaminates. Initial costs for a whole home water filtration & softener system starts from $300-$1000. Filter lasts from 3-6months. Filters can be $30 to $70 ea.

Magnetic wiring around your copper fittings is one of the newer technologies to be implemented for home use. From reviews and what I have read, these do work but not for cases where hard water is not an big problem and usually installed when it was not needed in the first place. How they work is to electrifying wires to create magnetic fields so the chemical reaction how hard water is formed is deactivated. These systems are usually maintenance free. Systems start at $150 to $800.

This product is easy to install----it's skinny but long, so you need vertical space. Filters well---softens hard water noticeably and makes bad water taste very good. We'll see how long the filter lasts, but this is a very good inexpensive solution.

I looked at a number of poppers before I chose a different one. However, Amazon wasn't able to get that one shipped, so working with their customer service, I settled on this one. My 8 & 10 year old children helped me put it together. The instructions were disappointing, and not all the pieces lined up properly, but the finished product was secure and looked good.

We started with the Great Northern popcorn packs, and it make "good" popcorn. We experimented with some of our own blends of oil and seasonings, and we made "great" popcorn. The kettle gets messy and requires cleaning every couple of batches. The kettle lid seems to be an older design, where the lid is not attached to the kettle and slides up to the top where a magnet holds it in place. I would have preferred the lids that are attached to the kettle with a hinge. I have had to use some "kettle cleaner" for burned spots, but it does the job quickly. The rest of the popper has cleaned up well with warm water (sometimes with vinegar added).

Overall I would recommend this popper, but understand that it is not 5 star perfect.

Mid-century modern houses are designed for California springs and summers. But the floor to ceiling single paned glass windows let the cold right in.

I borrowed a friend's Dyson Hot heater. Being a designer, I loved the design of it--you can't get more elegant than that. But--what I didn't like was the sound of it--like a tiny Pratt and Whitney Turbo Jet engine--loud--and to me not a "white noise" kind of sound, but actual noise. Even once I got used to the sound of it (and you do), it didn't put out a ton of heat, so it could be on for hours and the room was still cold.

I then got a Lasko Digital Ceramic Tower Heater to try.

You have to assemble the base (snap it together, two screws), then four screws to attach the heater to the base. It took about five minutes--but you do need a philips screw driver.

You also need two AAA batteries, something that the box mentions in small type, but if you get home without it, you won't be able to use the remote control. I used to think a remote control on a room heater was a silly thing, but once you have it, it becomes as vital as one for a television, because it lets you adjust the temperature at a distance.

The first thing you notice about this heater is how QUIET it is. Really just a whisper. And the sound it makes is a low tone that doesn't interfere with listening to music or the TV. Even on "Hi" mode, it's still much quieter than the Dyson.

You can set it to run continuously on "Lo" or "Hi" or set the thermostat to the temperature you want, and it will turn on and off automatically to keep it there. Because it's so quiet, you can leave it on at night when you sleep.

And, if you want it to shut off during the night to save power, it has an 8 hour timer that will automatically shut it off after the amount of time you specify. The Dyson had no timer.

The oscillation is wide and silent. While the unit is tall, it has a reason--as the entire length emits hot air, which warms the room faster.

As much as I like Dyson design, this heater costs 1/4 the price of a Dyson, makes 1/4 the sound, and seems to heat the room about 2 times as well. Do the math--this heater is an excellent value.

The unit is quiet but not very effective. You have to be close to it to feel warmth. If you're more than five feet away the moving air actually feels cold. This heater doesn't even compare to the warmth generated by my Bionaire 3950 which is completely silent and radiates heat from both sides and top. I'll put this Lasko in my office.

I received it in time. Set up was not too hard, but you do need both hands and some ingenuity to get the base together and screwed in. You need a screw driver also, a plus shaped one. Plugged it in and turned it on, I got that fresh Lasko smell which I remembered from my first Lasko heater about 4 years ago. It brought back some memories. Anyway, the smell was virtually gone by the next morning. The remote comes with a screen, which shows the settings, so you don't have to look at the heater to know what the settings are. The remote screen shuts off after a few seconds, and then the first button you press will bring the screen back on, but won't change the settings, only subsequent button presses will change the settings. So just remember, if the remote screen is off, the first button press only turns the screen on. One issue is that the remote has to be pointed almost exactly at the heater, or it wont work, this sort of makes the screen pointless, because if you're lying down, you wont be able to see the screen when pointing the remote at the heater. And if you're going to look at the heater, you might as well read the settings on the heater's screen. The unit looks quite nice, you can put it next to a book shelf or something, it wont stick out too much. It is not very noisy, but when it turns on, you definitely hear it. There isn't any tilt sensor as far as I am aware, I tried holding it almost horizontal, and it kept on working. The base is quite stable though. The wire is nice and thick, it is made of a matte, soft material. not like other wires. I like it really warm, so I just set it to max heat and let it run to see how warm the room would get, it got to about 83 then was fluctuating between 83 and 84. my other temperature device confirmed this was indeed the room temperature. prior to turning it on, the room was about 63. The room is 240 square feet. Can't fault the heater for this though (first of all 84 is plenty comfy for me), because hot air rises, all the hot air goes straight to the ceiling. If you have a ceiling fan, set that to a very low speed, it will mix up the air and it will get warmer down where the people are. I also noticed a not-too-loud rumbling sound on low heat mode, this is probably the fan. at the high setting, it is gone. perhaps it is not aligned, or is a bit loose. There is a timer, which I didn't test. But I suppose it does what it says. All in all, it's a lovely heater. I wouldn't give my Lasko back if they paid me for it. I think of these things as pets, you'll never find a perfect one. They all have unique personalities, and I love them all the same.

Pros:

good looking

nice warmth

automatic temperature mode shuts off and turns on automatically to maintain desired room temp

nice wire

remote batteries provided in the box

quite easy to set up

sides don't even get warm.

no tilt sensor

Honest reviews on Lasko 5586 Digital Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Good value heater. I use it for our bedroom in winter in auto mode and does a good job of keeping room at temp we want. quiet and pretty easy but have to be careful you use a full circuit connection or you could blow your circuit.

I like this heating lunch box, esp. since it works on 110v AC. It takes awhile, but that is really no problem.

Reviews of Holmes HFHVP3 1200 watt Compact Heater Fan 2-Pack

Customer Ratings:

I bought these for our tiny downstairs bathroom in our condo in the mountains, where it gets extremely cold because there is no heating vent in the bathroom. These little heaters really put out the heat, are quiet, and the small footprint enabled me to fit it in the corner of countertop right behind the sink, which works great because a)it warms your hands when you wash them and b) that is where the plug is. All the other room heaters I looked at were just too big, too expensive, or both. I really only needed one of these but because they were so inexpensive for two I got them and now have an extra for other cold spots. The thermostat is great too, you just heat the room to desired temp on high, then lower the dial and it will keep the room at desired temperature. This bathroom is getting a lot more use now.

Bought these primarily for bathroom that was cold. Thought would save other one for backup. One puts out enough heat for the bathroom and my bedroom. Put the other in my sons' room. Got so hot in there my son wanted to turn on A/C. Been in the 20's and 30's @ night and still have not turned on furnace. Bought a larger heater for my living room. I am so happy with these, I am buying more for backups. I only paid $9 for both on clearance and will gladly pay more for the second set. My electric bill has fallen drastically. But be careful. Cannot put these on same circuit. It WILL trip your breakers if you put on same circuit.

They don't take up much room and are easy to move from room to room. They don't put out a blast of heat just enough to take the edge off if you're close to them. One good thing about them is that they don't use as much power as other heaters. This is helpful in my old apartment building where the wiring isn't really designed to support a lot of modern appliances at the same time.

I thought I was getting a deal when I bought two fans for 31.00 however the heating fans are the exact same price at target. My dog has knocked them both down and they stop working afterwards. I wait an hour and plug them in and they work majically again. The heat they produce works fine in my 1000 square foot house but are most definately not top quality. The heat that is produced cannot be felt no further than 5 ft. from the fan itself. It does have a thermostat but does not work unless u move it til it cuts off them move it about one milimeter til it cuts back on and it will eventually cut off once the room reaches 75 degrees. That is the only way I have gotten the thermastat to actually cut the heating fan off. When cutting it on and off I hear a metal scrubbing sound but it stops once the fan speeds up. All in all I have two fans that work for now I've had them 2 months and I don't see them lasting years like other quality products that may not even be made anymore. The fact that they are only 1200 watts a piece makes it a little better

These two littler heaters, are a great deal. I took one to work, my office is so cold and at times feels like the ac is on instead of the heat. You regulate tempeature by the dial on top, turn the dial until the unit starts to blow the heat out or turn the dail back down until it stops. The unit is very quite. The second one is for my bathroom which is now warm and comfortable when I get out of the shower. These are ideal for small spaces. I do recommend for safety, to unplug the heater when not in use because it doesn't have an on/off switch. Turning the dial until it either turns the unit on or off is not the same as an actual on/off switch. Think about it, when the room cools below the setting it will turn on and start running and you may not want that to happen. Unplug when not in use.
