Like many customers on-line I seem to be replacing an older "stir-crazy" model only to find poor reviews on the newest model (and every other unit too)so I had to choose among the models/brands that seemed to be the least frustrating. That is how I ended up with Waring unit. But, as many mentioned, it is almost impossible to get popcorn that is not burntyou have to take it out BEFORE all the kernals are popped or there is no way to keep that from happening. Also, the popped corn is not as crisp as the older unit (I've tried with top lid on and off).

So a little frustrating to replace a 10 year old unit that saws lots of usage to only find the quality on all these products seems to have gone down.

My Westbend popcorn popper was hard to wash, the lid cracked after only a few uses, and after a summers use, it was just old and yucky. This waring pro is fantastic! First it has an on/off switch!!! Second the lid... it is thicker, the top for melting butter is larger and the lid stays attached. Third and very best of all, the base separates from the electric heating unit! This makes for a product that will last a long time, stay clean and get a lot of use. Bravo! to Waring for making such a thoughtful and great popcorn maker. Butter flavored olive oil is great! There is also butter flavored grapeseed oil. If you like oil popped popcorn and you want something that can be easily maintained and cleaned, this is hands down the very best of the best! Worth the extra buck!

I bought this popcorn maker as a Mother's Day gift for a mom who frequently pops bowls of popcorn over a stove top. The main benefit of the Waring popcorn maker is that it requires less oil than you would need with the traditional stove top method. Another perk is that the top of the appliance doubles as a bowl for your popcorn once it's popped. The bowl is a decent size, but if you regularly use your biggest mixing bowl to serve your pots of popcorn, keep in mind this bowl is a more modest size.

The primary downside (and this goes for many specialized appliances, not exclusive to this one) is that it's somewhat hefty and will take up a good chunk of space on your counter top. For that reason, I'd really only recommend buying it if you're truly a popcorn enthusiast and will use it frequently enough to warrant the kitchen space you'll need to store it.

Honest reviews on Waring Pro WPM10 Professional Popcorn Maker

We were excited to get this as a Christmas present to replace a Presto Power Pop (a bowl you use in the microwave to pop the corn) that saw HEAVY use. The idea behind this is great, the execution not so much.

We used this one day to make three different batches of popcorn, using both yellow and white corn to see which was better. Every time each batch was done, as with other reviewers, no matter how fast you flip the corn into the bowl there are burnt and scorched pieces. After replenishing our supply of popcorn kernels at the store, about a week later when we tried to use this again. The arm would not spin, the gear that spins it, coming out exactly a few inches away from the searing heat ring, it was discovered the gear was PLASTIC, not metal!!!

Seriously, who does that? What chinese designer, and this is made in China, thought a molded plastic gear was good next to an extremely hot surface? The gear didn't melt, but disintegrated into myriad pieces. So we got exactly one day of use out of this for three batches of popcorn. Not a great way to spend $60. This junker is going back to the store, we are sticking with the Presto Power Pop, and if you are smart you will steer clear of this popcorn maker and find a better alternative.

Pros: When it works, makes ok popcorn with very little kernels left and uses little oil

Cons: Poorly designed and constructed, substandard materials, relatively high price for what you get

This is about Tool King as well as the CZ707 Heater. I have had excellent and very prompt service from these people. When I ordered this heater it arrived very quickly, however there was exterior damage, so I phoned the company. They sent a replacement immediately, no questions asked, within a week I had a brand new heater.

The little heater works fine, as advertised. It is compact, a little cube and should be very safe since it won't topple over. It's compact & easy to handle. Heater has a very low setting so it can stay on for hours and keeps the bathroom comfortable. The thermostat works fine.

It really takes the chill off, heats quickly, & doesn't use much power to do it.

As far as I can tell there are no problems at all with this heater (I've only had this for a few weeks). Even better, I feel that if there was a problem Tool King would act promptly to correct it.

I have had this heater for a month now and I absolutely love it. I cannot believe how much heat this little heater provides. I have it under my desk at work and it is perfect to warm my feet on these cold mornings. The heater I had before this one would run all day but this one puts out so much heat, I can turn it off for part of the day. I would recommend this heater for anyone who wants under the desk heat. I do not know how it would work in a room but from the amount of heat it is putting out I would think it would do the job. I would buy this again should the need arise.

I purchased this little heater to use at work for 2-3 hours every morning, and I've been using it for about six weeks now. I particularly like that it is small and portable. The heater is just slightly larger than those small square tissue boxes. I can put it on the floor or on the table. The handle on top makes it easy to move around, unlike the last heater I had which needed to be picked up from the bottom using two hands. I use it under my desk in a small office, and I rarely use the high setting since the low setting sufficiently warms my little corner. If I set the thermostat low, the heater will cycle off and on as needed, perfect for a mild day. The overheating sensor works as intended; when I briefly placed my laptop bag on the floor directly in front of the heater, the caution light came on and it shut off within two seconds. When this happens, turn off and unplug the heater for about 10 minutes so it can cool down. I like that it has a fan-only setting, handy when someone burns popcorn in the office microwave!

I have a few small negatives that account for my deduction of a star. Some of the gray paint bubbled up and is flaking off the back of the heater next to the power cord. The heater still has a bit of a burning smell for a minute after I turn it on in the morning. It isn't as quiet as some small heaters I've owned, but I do find that the consistent hum fades into the background when I get used to it after the first few minutes. If I sat in a cubicle with neighbors on all sides, this heater might be annoying to some.

I do recommend plugging it into a power strip that has a built-in circuit breaker. Twice now this heater has tripped the circuit breaker when I've had it on high heat for longer than 30 minutes (the only other thing plugged into the power strip is a small desk lamp.)

Overall the heater seems durable and I'm hoping it holds up well. I'll update this review if I encounter any issues.

This little item fits the bill perfectly. It is light weight, small, well-made, easy to move around, quiet and warm. I have yet to use the "high" setting, as it generates sufficient heat to keep my legs and feet warm under my desk, which is close to a cold (exterior) wall in the building.

Customer Ratings:

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.

Worked well the first year. Second year it overheated to the point that the plastic was soft and the knobs would burn you if you touched them. It annoys me that so much junk gets sold today. I would much rather have paid a higher price for a heater that was reliable year after year.

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.

NewAir AH400 Space Heater With Adjustable Temperature Control Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I was looking for a heater that would fit under my desk, and provide slow comfortable heat without popping the circuit breaker. This is an excellent heater for an office or other small area.

The heater is rated at 400W. I tested the current draw a few times by plugging the heater and my computer into the same outlet strip, and turning them on simultaneously. No problems the circuit never tripped (of course in actual use the heater should be plugged into a wall outlet).

When used under a table or desk, I've had to turn it down to near it's minimum setting. It provides enough local heat that I can turn the main furnace down 2-3 degrees. For the cost of a 40-watt light bulb, I can work in comfort!

Although it doesn't get as hot as a fan heater, like other oil heaters it is sometimes too hot to comfortably touch. Be aware if there are toddlers or flammables nearby.

The product page is sketchy on details; heater dimensions are approx. 21.5"L x 15.5 "H. Width ranges from 0.5" at the fins to a 5.25" W at the base. Weight is just under 7 pounds.

I own several oil filled heaters. We have used them for the baby's room at night, for rooms at the end of the house far from the furnace, bathrooms that need just a little more heat when we turn the furnace down for the night, etc. Generally speaking, oil filled heaters provide that safe, quiet, slow heat that is wonderful for sealed (non-drafty) rooms.

Just bought this 400 watt unit to go "under" a desk for my wife's cold feet. The big oil filled radiators are too big to go under there, she'd have no foot room left. So we sprung for this small unit. The problem is, it MELTED her boot when she touched it with the end of her boot for a few seconds. We are talking "MORE THAN HOT." Because it is so thin, it has almost no fins to distribute the heat through the oil. The result is...less heat output than bigger oil heaters, and the side gets extremely hot. Now..I know and you should nkow....most oil filled heaters get warm to the touch on the side of the fins....but not enough to burn you for any brief touch. This one you can fry an egg on the sides. Not as hot as say....the ceramic or electric wire heaters. But more hot than we wanted! So if you planned on putting it under your desk and touching your shoes to it.....think again! It will burn them. And it puts out nowhere near as much heat as a regular oil filled heater (such as those with 700/800/1500 watt settings).

On this little unit, the legs keep it 2 inches away from the wall, and they do seem delicate and prone to break if you push the heater over.

PROS: It's lightweight. You can carry and move it easily with one hand. It's pretty small. It's dead silent. It uses relatively little power (400 watt maximum). I find we have it on maximum most of the time and we are lucky to get it to raise the 8 by 8 room temperature in that office by 2 or 3 degrees. It uses so little power, however, that it never trips our overloaded breaker. That is one reason we replaced the 1500 watt heater in the room with this one...because when all of the laser printers and computers were whirring, the 1500 watt heater would trip things. But the 1500 watt oil filled never burned us. This one, although hot to the touch, does not raise the temperature much for things that are 2 or 3 inches away. I had it two inches from a chair one day, and the vinyl chair was barely warm to the touch....even when the unit would burn you if you touched it. That says something about the unit....it's hot....but it's not throwing out much heat to warm the room. Kind of like how a soldering iron is really hot to the touch...but it's not heating the air around much. Unfortunately, that is what we have with this unit...it's a thin compromise unit...and the thinness really robs it of convective ability. As long as the legs work, I don't worry about this thing burning things close that it is not touching. I would worry, however, if this unit fell over and touched something...like something plastic.

CONS: I'm disappointed in the heat output. The problem is...lack of fins means the heater gets hot to the touch....VERY...but not as much air flow is generated due to lack of fins. So my wife complained, it burns her feet to the touch, but does not get her under desk area warm. This is the OPPOSITE of what we were hoping to achieve! We wanted something that would heat up the underside of her desk so she could be toasty under there, while being safe for her feet or items down there.

In fairness, this unit might do the trick in an under-desk space, with no drafts and where you have a LOT Of leg room so that you cannot touch it with your feet. Say....a very large under desk space under an L-shaped or U-shaped desk. This would then very gradually radiate heat and raise things around the desk 2 to 5 degrees....desk would be warmer to touch, keyboard warmer, etc if you left it on all of the time. That was our goal with the unit, but it just won't work in my wife's office due to too hot to the touch...will burn tootsies or shoes. But I have another office I'm going to attempt to use it in where the desk is an L...and there is nothing under one side that can touch it.

If you are looking at this unit, please remember that 400 watts is 400 watts. And anything 100 to 300 watts is not going to create much heat at all. And 400 watts is not a whole lot better...especially without big convection fins. If you have a drafty and open space.....NONE of these oil filled heaters are going to work well for you. They work BEST in small sealed rooms, with closed doors, where they can raise the temperature gradually as the hot air rises off of them. If you are looking for FAST heat, you want a heater with a fan...not a radiator. But if you have the room, and wattage ability in your circuit, and you want quiet even heat, your way better off going with a bigger oil filled heater than this unit. Most of the bigger units, you can turn down to 700 watts and then turn that thermostat so it only comes on occasionally or half the time..which would be equivalent of 350 watts per hour and it would give more even, more safe heat than this unit...at the price of more floor real estate. If you must buy this unit, remember it gets hot to the touch...cannot touch things to the side....but it is small and "might" slip between two desks or the desk and the wall and just might make a "niche" heater for you. Some place...where you just don't have room for that big heater. Example....under a sink in a cabinet! To keep pipes from freezing. Or in a garage ...or in a closet in a garage to keep things from freezing. The thinness "Just might" allow you to put it in an odd space.

The personal heaters I've tried over the years have been noisy, tripped circuit breakers and often gave off burning smells that made me wonder if they were even safe. After trying a large-sized oil-filled radiant heater at home, I wished I could find a smaller version to sit by my desk at work. With some research online, I found the Newair AH-400. It was just what I wanted a radiant-style heater small enough for my workspace. I ordered it hoping it would keep my legs warm at work without causing power problems among the computer equipment. After a month or so of use, I am very pleased. It fits my needs perfectly. My experience with ordering and shipping was good as well. Everything was prompt and correct.

I bought this as a xmass gift for my wife. I was a little concerned with the dimensions listed thought it would be to wide, but it did fit under her desk. She loves it, not only keeps her feet warm but even when the room is cold she is comfortable.

I had been thinking about one of those radiant underdesk panels but after reading the reviews decided those wouldn't be enough for a climate like ours (Wyoming). This unit works very well.

Wrote the above review in 2008 when we got the heater, now 2013 still working great no problems with it what so ever. It runs under the wife's desk all winter day and night.

One of these units was left on low and after a few months both feet cracked and the unit fell over. This ment that neither the thermostat nor the needed air cooling worked and the unit burst from over heating and blackened the carpet unit the heating element tube. Vary Dangerous!!!

Bought this unit two months ago and it did fine--although not really adequate--for our open loft space of about 800 SF. On the plus side, it is convenient in that it vents through the window and is portable. However, having read other reviews it seems ours is not the monster cooling machine that some folks seem to have.

It did pretty well until we had our recent heat wave, at which point it kept giving the FL error message (need to empty water) and shutting itself off. According to the manual, this should not have to be done in AC mode, but we figured "hey, it's a heat wave and really humid; makes sense, right?"

The first time this happened about a week ago, we emptied the water (not much of it) and it ran again for a few days before shutting off again. This progressed from shutting off every day, to every few hours, to its current status of shutting off immediately even though there is no water in it! It won't run AT ALL.

We called LG and followed instructions again to reset, clean filters, vacuum any dust/pet hair (which was already done), to no avail. This was followed by removing the color and meticulously cleaning the entire interior to make sure there was no dust in there. As of right now, we have a service call set up to see if a pro can't get it working again. Needless to say, this is super-frustrating because we're suffering record-breaking heat.

LG LP1111WXR 11,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with remote

With our local power company estimating one week to restore electricity after a storm and temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees each day, some sort of A/C for our basement walk-out rec-room was essential. Our two-story house became virtually uninhabitable due to the high heat, except for the basement. We have a good generator, so power wasn't an issue as long as the A/C used 115 volts. Some units in this BTU range need 230 volts, which we didn't have. We bought this unit from a local Home Depot.

Features:

running continuously, it kept a 1000 square foot (well insulated) rec room in the low to mid 70's on days it reached nearly 100 outside.

Even though it's pretty loud, we could watch TV with it running, with no problem. The operating sound is mostly the whooshing of air.

it doesn't come with a drain pan, which is actually OK. After running for 2 full days in the hot humid Washington DC are, there was zero water to drain.

the unit's control panel is intuitive. We didn't need the instructions or the remote. Plug it in, turn it on, set the temperature you want.

since you don't have to lift it up (after it's in the room where you want it), installation is easy on your back.

this device can be used as a dehumidifier, in which case, exhausted air isn't sent to the outside. In this case, you'll need to buy a drain hose for the water (but that connection is only one inch off the floor!).

rolls easily on a hard floor (but not so easily on carpet).

Other:

This design is excellent for emergency A/C use, or if the other types of A/C are impractical for the room. It exhausts hot air out the window that it sucks in through other household windows/doors i.e., a corresponding quantity of [warm] outside air is being pulled into the room you're trying to cool, from other places in your house. Thus, this design is less efficient, electric-usage wise, than a window A/C unit; and far less efficient than a central A/C, or a ductless A/C.

The unit itself is 33" high, 18.5" wide, 14" deep, and it has to be about a foot out from the window to give the 6" flexible exhaust hose room to bend.

this unit is called "portable", which is technically valid since it's on wheels. However, it has to be exhausted through a window after installing the supplied widow trim. That means it has to stay at the window where that trim is mounted. In other words, it's not portable if it's being used. The only time it will be rolled more than a few inches is when it's not "installed". A truly portable unit could be rolled to, and used, anywhere there's a 115 v receptacle.

LG includes variable-width trim to install at the bottom or side (on a slider) of a window, that the unit's 6" exhaust hose plugs into. These plastic parts are pretty thin, so be careful they don't crack. Screw it to the window frame to hold it in place if it is to stay there awhile. However, since an installation is only for a few days, duct tape can be used to hold it in place and seal the opening. After the emergency, just peel the duct tape off and remove the trim.

One end of the 6" exhaust hose snaps into the base unit and the other end snaps into that window trim. The ends of this hose are thin plastic and could be broken; so be careful.

One year warranty is fairly typical.

Summary:

If the above description meets your needs, this unit is probably comparable to any "portable" A/C in this BTU range.

My husband and I purchased this item in June 2012 for a small summer home. We have used it maybe a total of 3-4 weeks over the past year. It has been very hot and humid lately which is when you want a functioning unit the most. Two days ago, the Air Conditioning unit began to leak a significant amount of water onto a new rug and the wood floor. The rug is stained with an orange color (like rust) permanently. We tried to take the unit apart to see if there was a hose that became disconnected and was causing the water to leak all over the floor. This was not the case. There is no drain hose. There is a magnetic float that tells the unit to shut off if the water reservoir is full and needs to be emptied. We only looked on the inside and did not manipulate anything. After we put it back together the unit flashed FL and says the water if full. There is not water in the reservoir. The customer service assistance at LG is lacking tremendously. I spent about 2 hours of my vacation time trying to understand the customer service representative. They basically told me my unit needs service. As I have read in many of the other reviews, the service cost is just shy of a new unit. I requested to speak to a supervisor at LG which took another 30-45 minutes of my vacation time because they lost my call when transferred, and then I was placed on hold for a very long time. It is so frustrating!!!!! Then I was told they could not help me because I cannot locate my original receipt. Oh and by the way, a warranty card does not assist them with finding a purchase date and location. The warranty card goes to a third party for who knows what!!!

I will never purchase another LG product again.

We have owned this until less than 2 years. Within the first three months of owning it we had it serviced because there was no charge in it. We had owned it long enough at that point that we couldn't return it. Now, during the next warm season we discover the evaporator coil needs replaced which is a $200 repair. We own several LG products in our home and this will be the last one. While contacting LG the customer service department told us the entire sealed system was covered for 5 years, but when our technician went to submit a claim they were told it wasn't covered. There is lots of inconsistent information from their customer service number. We found it to be a complete waste of two hours trying to navigate through the company at LG and that is only if you can find someone who speaks good enough English to answer your questions. DO NOT BUY ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS!!! STAY AWAY!!!!

I bought this unit in June 2012 after a friend of mine had it in her living room and said it worked wonders. Since my apartment complex does not allow window a/c's, I figured this would be perfect. It worked fine last summer. However, after using it for the first time this summer just this past week, the unit is now leaking water on to my bedroom floor. The water is SUPPOSED to collect in the internal tank and then the unit will alert you that the tank is full and you can drain it from the back port, but this is not happening. The water is leaking out the FRONT of the unit on the bottom. Called The Home Depot and they said it sounds like the hose that runs from the compressor to the tank is either crimped, broken or fell off. How this happens when I never moved the unit from where it was after last summer is beyond me. Someone now has to come take a look at it. Spent $429 on this and paid an additional $60 for a 2 year warranty. It worked for only one summer. Disappointed.

Portable Woodburning-Style Large Electric Stove with Stay-Cool Review

Customer Ratings:

We just started using this stove in our living room and really like it. It puts out a nice amount of heat. My 3 year old son calls it our "fireplace" and likes to have it on while he's playing. The flames are pretty cozy and even though they aren't super realistic, they create the ambiance of a fire. The fan makes an audible sound, but I don't find it to be unpleasant. The stove itself is quite attractive, but the color in the ad is totally misleading. It's definitely more of a dark brick red (almost plum) color. It's going to look really nice with holiday decorations on top of it. My mother-in-law came to visit and liked it so much that we just ordered her one as well.

I like the item itself but the dealings I had with the company is enough for me to rethink ordering again. Placed my order several weeks ago, received first stove about a week later and it was dented. I called, they sent a return shipping label and a replacement. The second stove came another week later and the metal strip that hold the glass in was broken off with broken chunks of plastic still screwed on it and was rattling around the box. I called again. They sent another return shipping label and another replacement. The third stove came and the door was broken. All 3 boxes, when they came were gashed and torn all over and there was no protection around the stoves to prevent any damage. I called and got angry and they sent one more return shipping label and the 4th replacement. The 4th stove came on Dec. 19th(this was for a Christmas gift). This one was in a box, in a bigger box. It was finally packed the way they should have been to start with. The customer service was very questionable and they did nothing to make up for the unbelievable hassle of having to repack and return 3 large heavy boxes.

I have a red one and the paint looks like enamel over cast iron. The logs look realistic, just like glowing embers, and the flame effect is fairly realistic. The room just seems cozier, and I find it relaxing. I have lived with a real wood stove...carrying wood in all winter, cleaning up the mess....this is a nice alternative! My cat is not impressed, but then he never carried firewood or offered to sweep up ashes.

I don't really like to use the heater, (I have seen how portable electric heaters can run up an electric bill) so I can't honestly rate it.

I think it may have been a little pricy because of the Plow & Hearth name. I paid around $220 including S&H...probably really only worth around $150. I looked for a couple of months before buying this stove, and there are nicer stoves out there, but you are going to pay a lot more money.

I think this is a good quality stove for the price range. You will have to attach the legs, and the doors feel a little flimsy (this is why 4 stars, and not 5). You should know that it is mostly heavy plastic, only the sides and back are sheet metal, but if you are just sitting back and LOOKING at it, it looks good.
