While this blanket certainly heats well, the location of the controls right in the middle of the blanket means that you're always fighting the wires and trying to get them out of the way. Also, the slightest bump changes the setting on the controls, so you frequently turn them higher or lower or even on and off without wanting to. I'm surprised that the manufacturer let this very poor design off the factory floor.

This is a nice blanket. It warms up reasonably fast and provides an even heat over the entire blanket area. The only thing I would change is where the power cord attaches to the blanket. The cord comes out in the middle of the blanket on one of the narrower sides. So, if you have the blanket over you in the long direction, from your shoulders to your feet, the cord comes out by either your neck or feet. Because of my wall outlet location, the cord has to be by my neck, which can be a nuisance. I think it would be much better if the cord came out one of the corners instead.

We got this blanket for Christmas and it actually works really, really well. There are three heat settings, plus it turns off after 3 hours so you don't have to worry about burning yourself or getting overly sweaty throughout the night. We actually DID save money on our power bill last winter (January was almost $40 lower than December!). It was pretty amazing. We're actually excited for winter again so we can use it. Very comfortable and very pretty looking on the bed the ivy color matches our drapes!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Microplush Throw Blanket

Very pleased with my Sunbeam microplush electric throw. It warms up very quickly and then somehow adjusts to the temperature of your body. The warmth is even and consistent. DOES NOT feel like a thermostat is going on and off to adjust. All over warmth. I can equate the comfort to taking out a towel from a warm clothes dryer on a very cold day. The throw is not as soft as a microplush blanket because let's face it, it's an electric blanket and it has very supple wires inside...but you really can't feel them. The thermostat control doesn't look like the one pictured. It is long and is very easy to operate. One button changes the temperature from low to medium to high. Has a 3 hour shut off which is really convenient for kids who forget to shut it off or when sleeping. A couple of reviewers said that the plug was in the middle of the blanket, which is not so. The plug is positioned at the BOTTOM of the blanket in the middle. I don't find it to be in the way at all...also the electrical cord is sufficiently long enough to accommodate outlets behind a couch. Like it so much, I just ordered another one for my son who thinks the one I just got for myself, is his :) You won't regret this purchase!

I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas since she is always cold in the winter time.

Long story short, she ended up spending the majority of the winter curled up underneath it.

It warms up quickly, and kept her nice and toasty even when we turned down the heat to save on utilities.

Also, those who complain about the cord coming apart have not connected it properly. There is a plastic latch which when clipped in keeps the cord securely in place.

As my wife and I are perfectionistic designers, sifting through the vast variety of the space heaters available on the market was some task. We finally decided on one which would provide a slow constant wamth versus the hot air bast-types such as heat fan elements, coil heaters, etc. resting on the idea of purchasing a radiated type. We read the reports on DeLonghi products in general which overall had been favorable. We made the decision to purchase the non-timer version of the TRH0715T, the TRH0715. Although slighlty less expensive, in hind sight I think we would've spent the extra money and got the timer version. We have still to recieve our electricity bill, but guess it much more economical than slappiing down $1,500 for heating oil. The two we purchased, heat our main floor nicely (1,300 sq. ft.), and is not too inconvient when moving heaters from room to room if/when necessary. The overall design is thoughtfully provided in the form of a stealth high-heat resistant plastic handle, 4 castor-roller type wheels, a cord wrap attachement, and aerodynamic heating fins. The heat is slow and constant and does not get "burning hot" like coil-element heaters (I still don't suggest touching it however). This was a good purchase and we feel very good about the price we paid. If you're looking for a non-avant garde designed heater which provides a good steady soft heat, this is the one!

This little heater works well! The snap-down wheels made it very easy to install (no assembly required). The thermostatic variable control works well (unlike some others I have tried). Some reviewers reported smelling an oil or paint smell when they first turned it on, however, I did not have that issue at all. Since I only obtained my heater at the end of this years heating season, I haven't yet fully tested the high heat setting, but on the low setting, it kept my 20 x 14 foot room quite comfortable this spring. It makes no noise that I have been able to tell, except a very slight click when the heater turns on at the thermostat setting.

I got this for our 3-year-old daughter's room as for some reason she does not seem to like the sound of a radiant heater. It does a decent job of boosting the heat level in the room, which she needs because she tends to kick off her blankets during the night. I wouldn't rely on this alone to heat a room unless it was a very small room. The top and back do get hot, although you'd have to keep your skin in contact with it for several seconds to actually get burned; bumping into it should not cause any burns. I haven't noticed any odors or noises from it.

We've had this for about a week. It does a great job of keeping my daughter's 12x12 foot room warm all night when on low setting (700 watts) and about half on the thermostat setting. We left it on full blast in the garage for three hours when we first got it, and it definitely gave off an oil smell. We moved it to the bedroom after that & no smell at all. It does get a little hot to touch, so not for use around small kids, nor can you put it against draperies or furniture.

Have owned a heater just like this one for over five years now. It will not burn you, or a child, but gets very warm. With a box fan running quietly on low next to it to keep air moving over it, can keep three rooms relatively warm all night in coastal NC with one of these. It will drop into the teens here sometimes at night.

Feel safe with this heater for it would be hard to accidentally start a fire with it. Just ordered another one for I am going to let my LP gas provider have their tank back as soon as I use most of the fuel in it. Then, purchase my own LP tank. It's cheaper to use this along with my heat pump instead of just the heat pump alone. With LP heat for backup, Stay cozy no matter how cold it gets or if the power grid should fail.

Update: Do not understand the negative reviews outlining so many problems. Received my second oil filled heater, tested it for many hours and found it to work fine just like the one I have been using for many years now. Have owned many types of electric heaters. Like these oil filled units the best. Do not mind leaving my home with one running but it is definitely best to turn all portable heaters off when unattended. It has an overload/high temp automatic safety shutoff for safety. Use a 15 amp power strip on them with a 15 amp circuit breaker for extra safety.

Feburary 13, 2010: Both of my electric oil filled heaters are working fine as usual. Have had no problems at all with either of them. It's currently snowing outside tonight. Am using nothing but my two oil filled electric heaters with fans running quietly next to them to keep my home cozyhave shorts on. Propane prices are currently right high around here. Have plenty of propane gas on hand if the power grid should fail. My older model heat pump is not all that energy efficient. Like these cozy and quiet little heaters. Got another electric bill today. It was much lower than I thought it would be using these heaters with the thermostat on them set at a reasonable level.

Have popped plenty of 15 amp fuses and tripped breakers with 1500 watt portable electric heaters over the years. Especially in my motorhome. You can use a long, heavy duty, 12 guage extension cord with it on a 20 amp circuitno problem. Don't use anything lighter than a short 14 guage cord. Personally, will not be using a 14 guage extension cord, of any length, with a load like this. Have spare fuses on hand unless you have circuit breakers or are using a 20 amp circuit. It's a pretty heavy load for a 15 amp circuit.

Dec. 7, 2010: Am again using my two trusty oil filled heaters with box fans quietly running on low next to them to keep my house warm. An Artic blast has hit early this year. It's cold outside. Have five smoke alarms in my home for safety. Am just wearing shorts as usual. One good thing about these heaters for me is that I can sit a stock pot, tea kettle or whatever on top of them in order to quickly get more moisture into the air. Just don't let any water spill onto the control unit side of the heater. Be forewarned that if you use a fan to increase the heat output and move more air through these heaters, you'll keep the heater cooler and thermostat energized putting out more heat in your home. Therefore, it'll use more energy unless the thermostat is set on a really low setting.

March 2012: Have gotten through another Winter with these same two oil filled heaters, saving significant money on energy in the process. Am quite fond of these two heaters. Feel safe with them and late model ionization AND PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarms throughout my home. Photoelectric smoke sensors are important to detect slow smoldering fires before the fumes get you. If paper or something similar falls aganist the bottom of one of these heaters, it's just no big deal. Being able to use one with a stock pot of water on top of it to get more moisture in the air makes a big difference. Higher indoor humidityat least 40% is MUCH better for the respiratory system in the Winter. When the water is gone, I can soon tell without even looking to see if it is empty. The water gets warm but not too hot to be hazardous to anyone. Just keep the water away from the control unit side of the heater.

I have owned this portable machine for 18 Mo and I purchased it to clean my car carpet. It works great and provides heated water to clean car carpets like new. I got a puppy recently and of course we are house breaking him but it was impossible to keep up after him if we let him anywhere in the house outside his crate. That was until I remembered my portable Bissell. I also have the big green Bissell but it was a pain to drag out every time the puppy urinated but the little green heated machine is outstanding. It deep cleans the carpet instead of just pushing it deeper and leaving odor like trying to clean up with rags and hot water. The real advantage was when the puppy had diarrhea which is impossible to pick up and clean out without a carpet cleaner. This things pulls all of the mess and stain out and with a little disinfectant added to the solution the spot turns out virtually dry and odor free which is critical because once the dog marks a spot the instant he smells the old residual odor that becomes the bathroom location. If you have a pet (puppy or incontinent older dog) and you are an ultra clean neat-freak you will want this portable machine?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The BISSELL LITTLE GREEN SPOT CLEANER is a handy little carpet stain cleaner that's good to keep around for cleaning small accidents around the house. However, if you have pets or small kids, where accidents on the carpet are prone to happen frequently, I would suggest getting Bissell Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner with Deep Reach Technology, 33N8A. Although that unit costs about $30.00 more than the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN, it has two choices of either using a hands-free set-it-and-go scrubber or using the hose and manually cleaning out stains from the carpet (i.e. in hard to reach areas like stairs or in a corner or on furniture). The Bissell "Spotbot" is much easier to use because you simply have to place the unit on top of the stain and press a button and leave it alone. It does all the work for you. Whereas the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN only has the hose nozzle and two brush attachments, a large one for deep cleaning and a smaller one for all the rest, and you have to manually use the hose, spray the stain with the nozzle, and clean the mess up. There's no other option.

Also with the BISSELL LITTLE GREEN there's some assembly required, which is just to attach the hose holder and it's very simple to set up -requiring only a Phillips head screwdriver. The unit also comes with a small bottle of cleaning solution. You mix a little of the solution with lots of water in the cleaning tank chamber, which has clearly marked water and solution lines; the other chamber is for the collection of the dirty water that you rinse out after use. It's pretty much foolproof. Both the left and right chambers come on and off easily, too, and latch securely.

Although the LITTLE GREEN boasts that it continually heats up the water, I still think the "Spotbot" is the better deal.

I had to cleanup a mess of wet dog food on the carpet, after my Shiba Inu decided to push her dinner plate off of the bed and onto the floor, and though the LITTLE GREEN did a good job, I still like the "hands free" convenience of the "Spotbot." And comparing both units side by side, the "Green" is only slightly smaller than the "Spotbot."

Of course, either unit is better than scrubbing the carpet with your hands and a brush but if you're trying to decide between the two, and you have pets and/or small kids, go with the "Spotbot."

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When the Bissell Little Green PROheat Deep Reach Spot Cleaner arrived at my home it had it's work cut out for it. My stairs were the number one priority and depending on the results I had hoped to use it in my car and RV.

Preparing it for use was easy and I was cleaning my stairs within 15 minutes of unboxing it. I had vacuumed the stairs earlier and that is recommended. Now it did take a little more effort than a full size machine, but try lugging a full size machine up the stairs! I have a total of 14 stairs, with a small landing in the middle and it took about 45 minutes for me to finish, but once dried (overnight) and vacuumed again the carpet looked better than it did when we bought our home several years ago. Next I headed out to the RV thankfully it was parked in our driveway and close to an outlet. This was going to be a huge test on just how heavy duty this cleaner could be, it's a 20+ year old RV that I have no idea when the carpets were thoroughly cleaned last. Luckily the carpeted areas aren't too big and I was able to finish in under an hour. I could have been faster, but I had to empty and refill the water many more times than I did with the stairs. The dirt coming out of the carpet was horrible and I kept going over areas until it started to run clear. In the end it didn't look brand new, but a definite improvement. I also noticed that the drying time was less than the stairs, possibly because the padding was thinner?

Since the stairs and the RV, I have done the carpets in my car and a small closet in the house. Both cleaned up well and using the Little Green was much easier than trying to use a full size machine. If you are looking for a small area or spot cleaner I have no problem recommending it. The only complaint I have is that the Bissell branded cleaning solutions are rather expensive and I would like to find a reasonable alternative or see the price lowered.

Honest reviews on BISSELL Little Green PROheat Deep Reach Spot Cleaner, Bright White

This cleaner does the job fairly well of getting spots out.

Pros:

Injects the cleaning mix into carpet very well

Keeps cleaning solution warm while using I always start with warm water from the faucet, so I can't comment on how long it would take to warm up cold water

Solid build quality, I'm not afraid at all of this breaking

Con:

The suction through the vacuum isn't very powerful, it takes a pretty good amount of time to thoroughly dry the spot you just cleaned. I would say if you don't want the area to be sopping wet after cleaning, it takes about 10 minutes to do an area of about 1 square foot.

Overall: I'm pretty happy with this, and after using it, would get it again for what I bought it for. Quick tip, you only need about half as much solution as the instructions say for most stains.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a great and very handy item. The built in hot water heater boosts the water temperature so you can use the heat to remove stains much better. You can leave the cleaner in the tank ready to use so you can "pounce" on stains immediately as the machine heats up as soon as it is plugged in. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 young children, so this device gets used often and never disappoints! In addition to doing a great job the Little Green Proheat takes up very little room.

Bought a new 175,000 BTU Mr. Hazard and used about five times...then nothing but a nightmare. It starts up and blows smoke, soot and sprays kerosene all over the place...after about two minutes of horrific health hazards, fire department enroute and a crowd gathering...it finally starts, but still burns your eyes, throat, skin...and this is while operating outside.

I checked the air pressure, which was not the problem...Nothing appeared dirty because its BRAND NEW, but i still cleaned cad cell, cleaned spray nozzle, in/out air filter, fuel filter, triple checked pressure, inspected all hoses, fresh kerosene, inspected wire connections...used multi-meter to check control box, igniter assembly, pretty much overhauled the entire unit and nothing is indicating a malfunction...

I'm going to throw it off of a bridge...then give it to someone i hate...you couldn't GIVE me a Mr. (C)heater...If you offered me $400.00 to take a brand new Mr. Heater, I would elect amputation of all extremities...if I had to choose between hypothermia or a Mr. (S)Heater, I would get my affairs in order...

Severe frost bite couldn't be worse then the chemical warfare this device delivers...

The vent in our bathroom died recently, so seeing that it was a Nutone 665, I ordered this unit, assuming it would be easy to pull the old one out and replace it with this. Unfortunately, the housing has been redesigned for the worse. The old unit did indeed slide out very easily, leaving its hanger bars in the space above the ceiling. The new unit requires you to attach the hanger bars to the housing before installing it. Furthermore, the old unit had an opening for the power to come into the unit where the connections were light, vent, and heat were made. The new unit has these connections outside the housing.

Basically, I had to cut open a larger hole in the ceiling to allow for the hanger bars and give me space to hammer them in. The grille is barely larger than the housing, so now I have an ugly space surrounding the unit in the bathroom ceiling.

If they hadn't changed the design, I could have reconnected the power, slid the unit in, and hung it on the old hanger bars and written a 5-star review. The new design makes it much harder to install in a finished bathroom and I see no reason why it was changed. The old unit's design was far superior. If I fix the drywall and this unit dies, I'll have to cut the ceiling again to get it out. I'd rather just leave the hole and find some kind of frame to fit around the grille to hide the hole.

We had a 25 year old version of the same heat/vent/light which was still, amazingly, working. It was a bear to get down, but once we did, the new one installed easily in the same space. It's much quieter, heats the space more quickly, and looks great -the old one's grill had turned a murky yellow-orange and the light visor was bubbled. It's nice that we could get a similar but improved model that used the same sized hole.

Honest reviews on NuTone 665RP Heat-A-Ventlite 70 CFM Exhaust Fan with 1250-Watt

These vent/heat/light fans were installed in my house when it was built over 23 years ago. My exhaust fan motor was rumbling a lot, so I decided to replace it. They have discontinued selling the motor so I had to buy the entire thing. Last time I just had the motors rebuilt by a local small electric motor repair place. I probably should have done that this time as well.

This unit is not exactly an exact replacement. I had to cut away a little more ceiling because it was maybe a half inch longer than the original. I have full access to the attic above the fan. If you don't have access to the area above the fan installation location, I'm not sure you will be able to install this.

Biggest problem mounting the unit was the location of the support brackets on the housing. The ceiling is 1/2" sheetrock mounted onto 3/4" ferring boards which attach to the joists. When the bottom of the fan is aligned with the ceiling as per installation instructions, the support bars do not line up with the joists. They line up with the space that the ferring boards create between the joists and the sheetrock I had to mount the housing a little higher and toe-nail the supports into the joists. Only other choice is to attach some support boards onto the joists and extend them down lower to the support bracket height.

The unit comes with a new 'reflector' that accomodates a regular incandescent light bulb. The old unit had a much larger 'reflector' which gave enough room to use a CFL bulb. If you use a regular light bulb, the lens will get a yellow spot burned into it after a few years of use. I've seen this in a lot of houses with this model. So I use a CFL which burns cool and doesn't discolor the lens. In order to use the CFL bulb I just installed my old 'reflector' instead of the one that came with the new unit.

Construction is a liitle cheap, but so is the price, and it works fine. The wire hookup area has a flimsy aluminum shield and you're working with a lot of #12 wires that need to be folded away carefully in a small space or else the aluminum shield will bend and/or won't re-install properly.

It's a little on the noisy side, but it has the heater as well as the exhaust vent. To get a 'quiet' fan the cost is considerably more, especially if you want a heater as well. It's the guest bath so it's not used that much, so it's ok. In the master bath we installed a remotely located fan unit so that you can barely hear it running.

I bought this one to check it out for a house that we're rehabbing

This one is a bit smaller but still pumps out the heat and has

a decent exhaust fan (4 Sones). There is no night light in itsomething

I will remedy by hooking the light up to a dimmer. Overall this unit

should last as well as my old one It's a tried and true design

and built wellbut in China.

It calls for a dedicated 20A 120V circuit though at 1250 watts

it should run OK on a 15A circuit if not shared with any other big loadsesp a hair dryer.

At the current price it is a bargain for installation from above.

However, I agree with Hari NairAs a retrofit it has a serious design flaw. It

is difficult to install from belowsomething that could have and should have been

accommodated at the design stage. It can made to work by cutting off the

external mounting ears and drilling some holes to screw it directly to the joist

from inside the housing. Then, with a strong and patient person holding it close to the ceiling you can push

the wires through the wiring cover and wire nut them to the various connections. then attach the cover with

its' one screw (too bad the cover doesnt have a keyhole for the screw) and then you and your helper can push the unit through the opening and screw it to the joist.

I know this works because we did it last weekbut it certainly isnt easy.

I have always thought that designers who are too lazy to think about the end user and installer should

be sentenced to installing and repairing their designs for a month. Design Supervisors who tolerate such

laziness should get 2 months.

I'm subtracting a star for Nutones's failure to accommodate retrofit applications.

The Bonavita just arrived. Haven't even turned it on, Looks GREAT even though the outer carton was damaged; the contents survived.

I am (was *) upset that the Gold Tone Filter does not fit this machine. This was importaint!

Just makes no sense to package a Gold 'basket type' filter with a high quality coffee maker that only accepts '#4 cone type' filters! Does it?

The coffee cups received are different than shown.

They're ...almost as nice as the ones pictured, so I won't make this a big deal.

The ceramic Hario and Hario paper filters are a nice plus.

* 08/10/13 UPDATE: 6:00 AM made my 1st pot. Very satisfied. Quiet, fast, and the coffee is Fabulous. Also, 7:00 AM I opened an email from Amazon Customer Service. I called their number and received excellent fast and courteous service. The rep credited my account the value of a #4 Gold filter.

My product rating just jumped from 3 to 5 STARS.

I connected this to my whole house fan. Works as expected. I wanted to limit the amount of time I have the fan on. Since this was originally wired in the attic. This switch is a wonder.

I got one of these for my outdoor patio overhead fans/lights. The timer is good but I have used these and other wall based spring wound timer switches from Intermatic and they don't last more than 3-5 years. The timers quit. Still can be used manually but that's not what I am buying this product for. In that time, you make your money back from the savings without a doubt but be prepared to buy a new one as they will not last. I love the product, hate to be so honest about the lack of useful life but I think Intermatic knows as I've had over 12 of these (many with different timer settings) at my properties and only a few lasted over 5 years. Easy as a light switch to install. Several years of saving on wasted electricity makes this a good deal. I've tried other brands and they fail even sooner.

This short life is not representative of all Intermatic timers. The ones that are encased in a metal enclosure with a 24 hour timer and trippers that you can change have been in pools and electric water heaters for 20+ years without a problem except resetting the timers when there has been a power outage. They are great!

Update: One year later...still going strong!

I have used these for many years for controlling bathroom exhaust fans. I have used one unit since 1978 and it still works. In 1978 Amazon did not exist so I did not buy it from Amazon. My most recent unit I bought is from Amazon.
