Better than I expected for less than $200. It looks as real as you can expect an electric fireplace to be, and having two heat settings is nice. It will definitely warm up a regular sized room on high, and low will keep the room toasty afterwards. It comes with a bracket that you hang it off of, but I went a little further and used two holes inside the cabinet to secure it to the wall with some screws and drywall anchors.

We've had our fireplace for just a few days now and so far we love it. It is beautiful and it looks to be high quality. It was easy to mount on the wall. I would like to find some sort of heat deflector for it, because it does make the wall very hot where the heat blows out at the top.

One bracket to mount to the wall & I was in business...been providing plenty of heat for my man cave even on the coldest PA winter days. Very happy with this purchase: it looks great & works great. The fan MAY be too loud for some people, but for those like me (who usually have the TV on), it is not even noticeable.

I love this item. It heats my 18x13 room comfortably. I had company over after my son's baptism and yes, it was the talk of the day. Thanks for being truthful about your product. It is beautiful and efficient. Everything worked. The vent on the top caused me to have to make a deflector for heat, but it was not a problem. I simply got my husband to build a shelf and put tin underneath. Now, I do not worry about the heat interfering with the life of my flat screen TV hanging above it. It is a "must buy now" product. What are you waiting for?

Thanks

Lovely to watch, generates appropriate level of warmth. As a wall hung unit the warmth is sent above my head, though. Still, I like it.

Cheap New - Twin Window Fan by Lasko

I wanted an inexpensive haust fan to remove smoke from the room. This does the job and the noise is minimal. I would buy again if all you want is a simple fan that does the job without breaking the bank.

I thought this was going to help my life be easier, to draw the cool air into the room, or vent the hot air out of the room.

I have to turn the fan in the window, front to back, etc. It does not lock into the window, I actually have had to place a large planted pot in front of it to keep it steady and not falling over. Would I buy this specific fan....no. I do think there is another fan that gives you the options of having the fan blow into the room or out of the room, just by turning a dial.

Oh yes, when having to turn the fan, its hard to hold onto, and often slips out of my hands. Cumbersome.

After seeing how well one of these worked for my parents (for the past 3 years), I decided to get one for myself. I ordered it on a Monday and received it by Thursday. (A week ahead of expectation.) I've seen other reviews of this product and can tell you that its fan is NOT loud and it doesn't stink like burnt plastic when used. The remote control is a great feature and a plus. It's exactly what I expected. I saw it cheaper at Target ($34.98) but they were in season clearance sale and out of stock until next winter in the city where I live. With list price at around $132, this price is still a bargain.

I bought this heater last winter and had no problems with it. However, this fall the heater stopped heating on a regular basis. I began shopping for another brand of heater when I decided to call Holmes to see if there was anything they would do for me, despite not having my receipt.

They very helpfully found me a similar, but newer model heater and shipped it out to me free of charge. They said I could dispose of the one that wasn't working. I'm incredibly impressed by how helpful Holmes was. I will definitely look for more Holmes products as a result of their great customer service and warranty.

I got this only a few days ago, but so far it's working awesome. The oscillation helps spread the heat, the heater sits up off the ground a little so you don't have to worry about spilled liquids or overheating carpet, and the digital thermometer is nice for automatic heat regulation.

The only complaint I have is this... there is no audio feedback when changing the temperature with the remote, and since IR is unreliable you don't know for sure that you actually did change the temperature or if the signal was lost and the temp did not change. Strange oversight by engineering since the reliability of IR really is poor.

Anyhow, I highly recommend this over the more dumb heaters where you just turn it to a preset 1/2/3 and let it continue forever. Temp regulated space heating is the best :D

Bought this for my cabin which is a 20' X 20' room. It does a decent job and is not loud. Great auxilliary heat and the safety features are nice. It does not get hot to the touch. Has a remote control which does not matter much to me. I wanted a reliable, safe product which it seems to be. It it lasts a few years then it will be a great purchase.

We have a small office and wanted the heater to come on at 7am, one hour before arrival and go off at 4pm. We originally bought the Holmes HQH319, it was quiet and output was great however a wall timer will not work with the unit. I called Holmes and they said, "you need the Holmes HCH6150 it has a built in timer." Returned the first unit bought the second. The timer is a crude count down until it turns off and on. That means while it's on you have to press the button 8 times to get it to go off in 8 hours. If you want it on the next morning you have to press the button 15 times to get it to come on. This is a huge hassle to manage twice a day. Also, it makes too much noise for a quiet office.

This item performs well and the design makes it easy to replace the old one. What I like most about this is that they replaced the old 1-time heat fuse with a mechanical auto-resettable fuse. Generally the fuses blow out because the intake has filled with dust or lint and there is inadequate airflow causing it to overheat. With the auto-reset fuse, when it blows, you just clean out the lint and go on. Nice Improvement.

It came regular shipping in just a few days -just as promised. The instructions were clear except it didn't specify the wire required or breaker size. 240 volts (16.67 amps) You could probably use 12 gauge20 amp, but I used 10 gauge 30 ampto exceed the 80% limit factor on the breaker. It is about as quiet as a regular fan forced plug in portable heaterbut puts out alot more heat. (It wouldn't burn anything around it though.) It was easy to install I surface mounted it to a block walland made a frame to cover the unpainted housingout of white plastic lumber. (cheaper than going to another site to buy the $60 surface mount-frame kit). Appears to have quality parts. The grill is white and neat looking.

I use mine in a 30 foot RV. After the first year I bought a second one. The heaters are compact and easy to use. The thermostat works well. My RV uses a 30 amp system, so I can only use one at a time if the unit is on high. I close the door to the bedroom section and then using one heater at a time I can heat the bedroom or living room. The heaters have worked well for me and I would recommend them to heat small spaces.

This item was decent for me except that it only decides to work when it feels like it. I had to pay to send it back to Lasko and when they got it, they said it was working, so they sent it back. It worked for a few days and now it's not working again.

It also would have been nice if they would have made the base have a joint to point the heater up or down. Overall, this is overpriced junk.

Reviews of Waterpik Ecoflow Hand Held Showerhead

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $30.99
Sale Price: $26.46
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

--In large bold lettering, the outside of the box says, "3 Settings + Water Pause". There are NOT three settings. There are only two: spray or pulsating. The so-called "third" setting is achieved by sliding the ring tab somewhere in between the two notches, according to Waterpik customer service. The result is a wimpy, weak version of both combined together.

--There is no "pausing" of the water when using the "water pause" toggle switch. The water flow is simply diminished to ½ gallon per minute. Waterpik designed the shower head so that the switch is accessible only if you are holding it at chest level, or below. If you are washing your child or your dog (or both together) in the tub, this is a great feature. If YOU are the one taking a shower, and you have it parked in the holding bracket on the wall above your head, the switch is next-to-impossible to access. You then have to lift and lower the shower head off the bracket, each and every time you want to reduce the water flow.

--Every part of the shower assembly is designed to appear as if it's made of a durable metal. Well, it's not. Everything is made of cheap plastic or soft rubber. All of it.

2/10 Update: An additional misleading statement on the package is described in the "Comments" link, below, by "jor1228". Do read it.

I like this showerhead. After looking around, I'm pretty sure this is only handheld 1.5 gpm (well, this and the more expensive model by waterpik) showerhead, so I wasn't expecting much with the lack of choices. But I was pleasantly surprised. I can't tell the difference between this one and my old 2.5 showerhead on the normal setting. Really, it doesn't feel too light at all. I like the combination pulse+regular setting. Also, unlike a prior reviewer, I don't have any problem adjusting all the settings while the thing is still in it's holder (this is probably dependent on how high it's mounted vs how tall you are). The showerhead does seem a little cheap, with the materials and the fact that the 3rd setting is just putting the dial between the two settings (couldn't they have made a nice little click?) but it's not that expensive and it will save a bit of water. The water "pause" is a little weird. It drops the water flow to about half. I think a truly water-saving nut could still shower with it "paused". I think it's set that way for tankless water heaters, which turn off when the flow does, so you'd get cold water if it actually paused.

If you want a very low-flow handheld showerhead, and you aren't looking to spend to much money or get anything too fancy, then get this. It's a nice, basic, effective showerhead.

I didn't care for this at all. Yes, it reduces the water usage, but you use more water just trying to take a decent shower!

I liked the Delta aerating shower head, and I mounted it onto a flexible extension arm in the shower. It gives you a harder, more efficient, aerated shower than this.

These water savers will never dispense high volumes of water which is why they save water and energy. This one delivers plenty of uniformly dispersed spray. They have a lifetime warranty. I have two of them and they both function perfectly. If you want a low cost option for a water saving shower, I would strongly recommend this shower head. I am a two time purchaser and I bought them years apart. That says something.

Holmes HWM6000-UM Small Room Warm Mist Humidifier Review

Customer Ratings:

I would have rated this a 5 star if the cleaning was easier, but I do not know if such a humidifier exists.

We have hard water and the build up of scale was becoming a problem, even with daily cleaning (yes, you should clean this unit daily). I came up with a solution to reduce and almost eliminate the scale I add a teaspoon of baking soda to the tank when I refill it. The scale is drastically reduced and the unit runs at a whisper quiet. I originally ran the unit without the baking soda and there was some noise, mainly gurgling, that was too loud for me since I am a light sleeper.

There is a black covered heating element that requires cleaning to remove scale. This can be very difficult to remove. I solved this as part of the weekly maintenance when you use vinegar to clean the base. The part with the heating element rests on the base. By adding enough vinegar to fill the well where the heating element engages with the base, and allowing it to soak for 10 or 15 minutes, the scale is easily removed.

I like the warm mist because it helps warm up the room.

Overall, I believe this unit is a great value.

I bought one for the office and liked it so much I bought another one for home. I like the warm mist, it heats the water and kills the germs before sending out mist. You have to be so careful with cool mist humidifiers especially ones with a filter, because if you get sick the germs lodge in the filter and just multiply and you wind up re-circulating germs through the mist. I've read about the gurgling noise and yes baking soda does get rid of it I'm a light sleeper and I have mine right next to my bed. It keeps the sinus moist which prevents sinus infections. The vinegar is great for cleaning the unit as well. And I love the fact that I don't have to deal with filters. I HATE filters. This is like plug and go! I've had mine over 2 years and it's still going strong. Hope they never discontinue it.

It produces upto 2.5 gallons per day, but the tank is only 1 gallon so you have to refill it a lot to get this. The instructions say DO NOT use detergents on any part but then it says to put the bottom section in the dishwasher. It takes a lot of time and effort to clean the scaling off, partly because you have to wait 15 minutes after turning it off since the heating element remains hot for a long time and could send out random steam to burn you as you pick it up. In terms of cost vs time it's probably a better deal for many people to just buy new wicks for an evaporating humidifier. But the worst thing is a metal plate on the bottom maybe 1/3" from the ground that's there to prevent the plastic from melting under the heating element. That's pretty close to the floor to have a metal plate that's nearly boiling hot and is probably the real reason why the manual says to keep it off rugs or finished floors. It also had a pretty bad plastic outgas smell; maybe this will go away in time though. All considered I don't really even feel safe leaving this on when I'm not in the room (although there's probably no rational reason behind it).

We bought this humidifier last year and my son used it in his smaller room and it worked very well. The gurgling sound was no louder than a tranquility fountain. It only lasted about 10 minutes and then it was silent throughout the night. The water tank was just right, one fill is all it took. (Any larger capacity tank would cause it be too heavy to carry. I can't imagine that.) We tried it in our master bedroom and since it is large we would rather have two of these humidifiers than to try another brand. We save a lot of money since we don't need to buy filters. We have had no issues with cleaning.

THIS IS a great heater. It heats the entire first floor which is 1300 sqft and then takes the chill off the upstairs also 1300sqft. On HI the main floor get to 74 or 75F. as the temp goes in the single digits it does not hold up as well. However keep in mind that the area is larger than what they estimate it heats. Go for it you won't regret it.

PS The only thing negative we found was that the wall above the heater gets very hot. Maybe thats because we did not get the fan.

We are switching to propane and ordered this heater to put in the basement. It's not as unattractive as what I thought it would be but still personally wouldn't want it in my upstairs living area. We had my brother in law (who delivers and installs propane) hook everything up for us. He said it was a fairly easy install and switching it over to the LP selection. It definitely throws out heat. However, it's not cold enough to use right now so I can't say on how well or poor it does in cold temps. I will say that the blower that is sold with it is not very strong. The angle that it goes into the box and points upwards into the box is almost like it is inhibiting alot of the air flow going through it. But it's not completely useless and does throw some of the air around. As of right now I am happy with this purchase and am anxious to see what it can do this winter, and the reason I gave it four stars is because I don't know yet how well it will heat this winter.

Honest reviews on Bionaire BCH9221-UM Ceramic Tower Heater with LCD Control

I've only had the unit for a week or two so my comments are just based on first impressions. I've had many space heaters over the years and ship them off to electronics recycling after a few years when I start getting paranoid about the age contributing to a fire hazard. The only space heater that has ever earned my notice was a Bionaire tower that I bought several years ago. So I decided to purchase what I presumed to be the updated version. In this case, newer does not mean better. Nothing major to report just little things. First thing I thought was strange is that the display no longer reports the room temperature. It seems fairly basic and important to know what the temperature of the room IS, in order to decide what temperature that you'd like to set the unit. Honestly, I'm used to the old display showing the ambient room temperature so I find that having it missing is really irritating. Second, I miss the handle for easy lifting/moving rather than the new partial grab spot in the back. Third, the buttons are hard to depress I'm not sure if it is the buttons themselves or the strange tilted angle of their placement. Because the buttons are so hard to use, I am forced to use the remote control. And lastly, the unit is so much lighter that the tipping potential makes me nervous. However, we are careful to leave the unit on only when an adult is present for supervision. I'll reserve final judgment after more use.

UPDATE: I would rate this at "zero" stars if I could. It lasted approximately 3-4 months with very limited use. Like many of the other reviewers the heating element blew out with a giant spark flying out of the unit and the smell of something burning. The best I can say about it is that it didn't burn down my house.

Bought a heater to keep us warm while buddies and I ice fish while the lakes are frozen here in Colorado. I was torn between this Buddy heater and the bigger model, the Big Buddy heater, but decided this smaller one would work fine. It does the job nicely, when we are in our ice fishing tent we turn it on and it heats it up nicely. The only thing I wish this model had was a fan blower like the bigger model has, because most of the heat it produces goes straight up. It might be worth it just to buy the bigger model so you can have the fan blow the hot air on you. This thing does produce some serious heat though, if you put your hands too close to it they will start to burn after a few seconds.

I also bought a Mac Coupler to go along with this heater, this lets you refill the 1LB propane bottles from your 20LB gas grill propane bottle so you won't have to throw the 1LB propane bottles away. I would suggest for anybody that uses the 1LB propane bottles to buy a Mac Coupler, just search for it on amazon and read the reviews for it. It will save you alot of money!

Some other reviewer from Colorado on here said this does not work that great at high altitudes, but I live in Colorado as well, and I have used this heater at several lakes ice fishing including Antero Reservoir (8900 ft. altitude) and 11 Mile Reservoir (8600 ft. altitude) and the heater has worked fine. I guess it just doesn't work at the really super high altitudes like 10,000 ft. and above.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater F232025 MH9BX Buddy 4,000-9,000-BTU Portable Radiant

This is for the MH9BX newer version of Mr. Heater Portable Buddy. It would appear that Mr. Heater has made some improvements in the Portable Buddy line and perhaps they have, but as is often the case these days "improved" versions are often lacking.

First I should say that I have been using an older version of this product for a couple of years now and have only good things to say about it. So when the need arose to buy two more Portable Buddy heaters I went right to Amazon and did so. The new Buddy differs from the old in several seemingly unimportant ways, but these differences are important.

1. The propane connection is now built with a swivel mechanism which makes attaching a propane bottle much easier. Remains to be seen if this feature works well over time.

2. The control valve has been redesigned. The old model had a separate valve control and ignitor control. Now these two functions have been combined in a single control. The best I can say about this is that it is "funky", meaning that it doesn't work smoothly and requires a bit of fussing with it to change the control from one setting to the next. This is consistent with both units I purchased.

Just one week after the 30 day Amazon return period expired, one of these units stuck in the HIGH position and would not turn off. After messing with the control for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to get it to the off position. The internal push-to-turn safety mechanism just barely works correctly on a good day. I think it's only a matter of time before both fail completely.

Warranty service requires you to return the unit at your expense. Meanwhile my old Buddy continues to work flawlessly. Let me also state that I'm very mechanically minded so the problem here is not with my skill level.

Fantastic product highly recommended for snappy localized heating. I bought this unit for a fall camping trip to Vail, CO -Bryce Canyon, UT -and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ.

While in Vail, the temps made it down to 25 the first night we were tent camping and the Mr. Buddy heater kept our 100 sq. foot tent toasty warm throughout the night.

Over the 9 day trip we successfully used the unit at various altitudes up to 8500' and temps down to 25 with no problems whatsoever. I used the 16 oz propane canisters (green coleman fuel) with ease. (Count on about 1 can per night)

Excellent product and designed with safety in mind...even though the unit is kicking out the heat, the surround and body stay cool enough to touch. No concerns for my tent floor.

Shop around and get it on sale. (Minor note mine has the newer yellow body vs. the pictured red)
