My Maytag side-by-side stopped cooling altogether due to extreme build-up of frost in the freezer section. Subsequently I replaced the malfunctioning defrost heater with the new unit (Whirlpool Defrost Heater 61006198) and now the icebox is working perfectly. Very easy to install and works well.

I used to have a mattress pad from Sunbeam. The improvement I see in Rest Secure are: 1) the power cord connector is on the side, instead of on top of the mattress like Sunbeam, which is annoying when you sleep on it. 2) warmer heat zone for the feet, it does get colder that side. 3) the setting control has 2 buttons, 5 levels, Sunbeam has a rotational knob for 10 levels. I have to say buttons looked less sophisticated, but it is easier to manipulate, especially when you are half awake at night.

Fabulous product!! I like these heated mattress pads much more than heated blankets and always have. In the winter, these things take the chill right out of the bed before you get in. We turn it on an hour or two before going to sleep and it's just perfect. This mattress pad has a 10-hour auto-timer so you don't have to worry about turning it off unless you get too warm of course. It has five levels and I'm finding level two or three is plenty. Turn it on and make sure the bed is "made" or the covers are covering the bed so the top covers/blankets also get nice and toasty.

We didn't have any issues getting this on a regular queen mattress fits fine.

Favorite features:

heating coils are all over, but their more concentrated in the bottom where your feet are great design.

Auto-off timer

But, the winner is my favorite feature has to be the dual remotes so we can adjust each side of the bed separately. I get hot easily at night but my better half is constantly cold.

We've also found that these work well in humid climates. Friends in the Caribbean and Florida swear by these for keeping the sheets dry. They only turn them on in the morning when they get out of bed. The sheets, mattress and pillows all dry quickly because of the low level heat. Wonderful for people like me who sweat a lot at night.

Brilliant and unexpected bonus!!

As a "queen sized" "restwarmer" mattress pad, this item barely fits a basic queen sized mattress of very normal height. Most Queen mattresses available today have a padding of some kind on top that extends the height to as much as 15 inches. This pad will only cover the top of that deeper mattress and, without something to hold it in place will pull off of the corners and not fit well after a few tosses and turns by a sleeper. Heat and setting are typical. Not recommended for the deeper Queen sized mattresses. Should work ok for a thin basic mattress.

Honest reviews on Rest Secure Restwarmer Dual Control Mattress Pad

When this mattress pad first arrived I was unhappy with how it looked. I almost sent it back. Once we put it on the bed I thought it wasn't going to stay put. It does not have any elastic, nor does it reach the bottom of the mattress. It looks as though it is made for a skinny, non-pillowtop mattress. We have a Cal King pillowtop. To my amazement, it does not shift and has stayed put so far. It warms just enough...... although I do turn it down while I sleep. The dual control is wonderful as is the warming feet feature. This pad is much nicer than a heated blanket. The heat rises to you rather than trying to absorb heat from a blanket on top of you.

I would recommend this pad to anyone..... I do wish it did attach to the mattress with elastic or even straps, thats why I didn't give it 5 stars.

UPDATE: This is our second season of using this heated pad. Now the lack of elastic or straps is becoming an issue. After machine washing and a season of use, the sides have stretched and lost some shape. I plan to add straps (or maybe suspenders) underneath the mattress to hold the heated cover in place.

This thing is great, turn it on about 30 minutes before you go to bed and it warms your whole mattress. Feels like a million bucks when you jump in, especially when it's really cold outside. Only problem is now I need to get one for my kids because in the winter they keep sneaking into our bed to sleep !!

Well made too, not cheap looking. Have used it for about 6 months and no problems.

This is a wonderful mattress and I'm thrilled with it! It turned my normal queen sized platform bed into a waterbed, giving me the best of both worlds. This mattress allows you to pick the bed you want, buy normal sheets, and still have a waterbed.

The water bladder is well protected. There are foam side rails that are at least 2 inches thick and there is a soft pillow on top of it that's easily an inch thick. This is great for people like me who have cats because it's impossible for my cats to knead the bed with their claws and puncture the mattress.

The only "problem" that I have with it is the instructions say to put the zipper end at the foot of your bed and you have to run the power cord for the heater out through the zipper so you can't close the zipper completely. I flipped the mattress so the zipper end is at the headboard so that the power cord for the heater is next to the wall instead of in the middle of the room.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am not a huge fan of electric heaters, but my wife cannot live without them. Problem with them typically is that it is very very warm near the heater, and not so warm away from the heater. Uneven heat distribution actually makes the room less comfortable.

This heater does a better job by allowing you to split the heater into two halves. And yes, that does provide better heat distribution.

But so would having two small heaters spread out across a room. The only thing you save is the outlet.

I am not too keen on the point of it all. Perhaps it is easier to carry than two independent units for some?

It is a good heater though. Both parts are effective heaters in and of themselves.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I unpacked my new heater with much anticipation. The two heaters stacked look more like a speaker and take up less room than the Ambia side-by-side dual heaters that sits on a base. One control on the top heater determines if the top, bottom or both will be running. There is also a thermostat setting which is supposed to allow you to set both the top and bottom independently of each other, especially useful when using them up to 9' apart. This flexibility is perfect for our cold office.

When plugging the heater in you immediately get a thermostat display, which after selecting the auto mode, can be raised or lowered. The display on the thermostat said 77. After selecting auto mode I lowered the thermostat to 70 for each heater. For some reason the display jumps back up to a higher setting apparently what it believes is the current room temperature. The thermostat appears to be off by a number of degrees. The heater seems to work just fine in manual mode, but that means the heater is constantly running.

The book doesn't help with this issue other than to say if it's not coming on, you've already reached that temperature. I can guarantee it's not even close to 77 in here and wouldn't want it to.

I did raise the temperature setting on the thermostat to 75 and both heaters came on for a time. The thermostat display now says 82 and the heater hasn't come back on over a half hour later and it's been rather chilly in here for awhile. I've since raised the thermostat a few degrees and it's still not coming back on.

I'd give the product 5 stars for looks and the ability to use it up to 9' apart if it worked, but with the malfunctioning thermostat this is practically useless for what we need, hence the rating it received.

Amended 10/26. Was able to get a hold of customer service using the phone number on the instructions booklet. The number is listed a number of times throughout the booklet including calling regarding the 3-year warranty. I was told that this is the wrong number to call for the Ambia product line and the guy apologized but said he had no idea what number I should be calling.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater stinks. Literally. I guess there's a burn-in period with heaters in plastic housings, because I've returned other heaters for the same reason. It's a bit disconcerting. The fan is also pretty noisy when it's on high, but the offset for that is that this heater brings the room temperature up to comfort level very quickly.

The heater is easy to use, both as a tower and as a "stereo" heat source. It is true that the tower formation does not hold together super securely, but it works for me to be able to separate the heaters without having to give one of them a bear hug. This is a ceramic heater that will never reach the temperature necessary to combust paper, but it is still not safe to leave it on unattended, including overnight (I'm pretty sure that's the same for all space heaters the same warnings came with my oil-filled radiator and my infrared quartz heater).

Honest reviews on Ambia Ach-220 Portable Two Zone Ceramic Tower Heater

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This just arrived, and it didn't take me long to realize it is superior to our other space heaters.

First of all, it's easy to set up right out of the box. Even if you haven't read the instructions although you really should. :)

It's lightweight and easy to carry around. Also, it works fast. I felt heat the SECOND I turned it on.

It has a programmable thermostat. It tells you the current temp. of the room. You select the temp you would LIKE, and it automatically warms the room to that temperature, and then stops running. That feature is going to save us some money on our electric bill. Our other space heaters just run and run until we shut them off.

It's nice that you can separate the two halves of the unit. You can have one unit at your feet and the other near your upper body. Or you can share the heat with another person. The halves fit together easily and neatly.

If I had to pick a negative, I would say that there are a LOT of cords lying around. It sometimes looks messy to see all the wires. But that's a little nit-picky. This is a great space heater with lots of nice features.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The top heating unit does not lock into the base heating unit. When moving the heater from room to room, the top heater tumbled off and cracked against my right hand in an awkward way, giving my fingers a "stubbed" feeling for a little while. This was annoying when it was cool, but I can't imagine this thing falling off if the unit was hot. You'd need a pot holder to put it back into place.

Also, the one I received also seems to have a thermostat glitch. I turned in on in our bedroom last night where it was probably around 67 degrees. Our bedroom has a very high ceiling and is always chilly. The heater was set to 71 and would not kick in. I turned it up and nothing. I'll continue to investigate this issue and update if anything changes.

We have several tower space heaters in our home and this is by far the least useful. If I was purchasing another heater I would get an oscillating fan that has quieter controls. I found the control beeps on this heater to be loud, especially if you're using it at night when kids are asleep nearby.

This heater has two settings, but the low is about the same heat as a hair dryer. The higher setting is, well, like two hair dryers. The switches are on the top left side so they are easy to get to and don't show much. The product description said it had a thermostat and a remote. It does not. I have used it in a 9 x 12 room as back up heat when I turn the house furnace down and I have been comfortable. But the thing about this heater is, it really is so cute you may be tempted to forgive it for it's heat output. You may even want to carry it from room to room, which is what I did. But it wasn't easy. It is pretty heavy for me. It is a flat black metal and a pretty old fashioned design, an arched wheat design, with very realistic flame and glowing coals (even when I replaced the 2 to watt candelabra bulbs with 15 watt bulbs to save electricity.) The weather was so dismal here lately in Colorado, I took it into the living room just to enjoy the fireplace and ended up dragging it in front of the couch and warming my feet with it.

It came in a badly damaged box with a broken leg, which I repaired with JB Weld instead of returning. UPS beat it up, but it did not have adequate packing to begin with. After getting a second electric stove of a different brand, I would say the Vernon was overpriced.

Post Script. I have been using this heater throughout the winter. I suspect it is quite the energy hog. It has tripped my breaker more than once. It would probably be more effective in a very small room, but it does take the chill off the above mentioned room.

I think it will make a very pretty end table with a plant on top of it.

The 3-D Electric Fireplace has been around a couple of years now, but the cost was still fairly high. Now, it has come down to just at $100. The 3-D flame has improved vastly over the earlier drum-light type to the point that it's hard to tell if it is real or not. I bought mine through Amazon.com, and was pleasantly surprised too, at the low shipping costs!

If there is a drawback, it would be that I will have to add my own stovepipe if I want authenticity, but that isn't a real big problem.

I am very, very happy with my purchase!

Best Deals on Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

For many years, I have had a fireplace to add enjoyment to our ND snowy winters---1st, a wood burner, and then a gas fireplace. The woodstove was the real deal, along with messiness and work. The gas(with a remote) was the best---in my opinion--no fuss and yet a real fire. Recently, I moved into a small apartment, without any fireplace. I went looking for the feeling of cozy, a 'pretend' fire, and found it in my new Vernon Electric Stove. The 'logs' shine more than glow, but the dancing 'fire' met my expectations in an electric stove at this price--it gave me cute and cozy, exactly what I wanted. The weather has been too warm to review how it heats, but I turned on the fan and it does blow out heat, so I am sure it will give me the extra heat where I want it.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

my friend was going on and on about her new heater and I wondered how anyone could get that excited over an appliance. When I saw it I knew I must have one and as I live far out of the city I ordered on Amazon to be delivered. When the package came I heard some slight rattling in the box, and was very disappointed that it made a constant clicking clunking noise when operating. It worked well, put out great heat at lowest setting and was gorgeous. I remembered I had read reviews that another brand made noise so I specifically order this brand instead.( I took the noise to be just a normal part of the mechanism) I went back online and found a review ( of another similar brand)that referred to the same noise and the guy said he opened it up and the rotating rod was just off its mount. SO I bravely unscewed ( about a dozen screws)the back ( Firesense customer support was available),and it was a simple matter to put the rod back in its place and it works great with only the low fan sound. Im writing this for anyone who may have this experience and save them the trouble of sending it back or returning a great product unecessarily.

I was worried to buy this because there were no reviews on it yet. I used it today for the first time and I could not be more happy with it. It says not to fill milk past the froth indicator line inside the pitcher, I know why now. It creates the most thick rich froth that you can imagine all the way to the top of the pitcher. After you pour the heated milk out (which by the way is heated to 150 degrees checked with thermometer)you will have to spoon out the froth because it is so thick. I gave it 5 stars because it does exactly what it describes it will do. The only thing negative that I could possibly say is that I do think that steamed milk and froth is sweeter in flavor than just heated milk and froth. I make caramel macchiatos at least twice a day for my wife and myself so we do a lot of frothing. This frother will make this super thick froth in around 2 min or so and then automatically shuts off too cool. I wait till it shuts off and then hit the espresso button on our espresso machine and then pour the heated milk, add the espresso and top with that thick froth decorate with the caramel and kick back. I thought at first this was going to be an expensive learning adventure but now I am very happy to have bought it. It also will make thick heated and frothed hot chocolate.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Who says you can't have it all? You can have your hot chocolate and your cappuccino too with this handy, convenient little machine. I'm no Einstein when it comes to operating appliances but this gadget is easy to operate and produces the most delicious hot and cold drinks you can imagine. The frothing mechanism is unbelievable. Now I can have my cappuccino without having to pay a king's ransom to Starbucks. In addition, it's easy to clean and that's a real plus in my book. Anyone who has ever had to deal with cleaning some of those razor sharp "jig-saw puzzle" pieces you see on a lot of appliances (my blender has been known to attack) will just love the safe, user friendly frothPRO parts.

And speaking of safety, there will be no burned lips and tongue with this little machine. It has three button settings and has the ability to control the temperature of your hot chocolate by just pushing the right hand button if you just want it WARM instead of HOT. Another plus is that you can froth your milk without the heat if ICED lattes are your drink of choice. Overall, this would be an excellent addition to your kitchen or a great gift for newlyweds who love cappuccino, latte or any hot or cold coffee drinks but can't afford those "Coffee house" prices.

Now that I've listed all the pros, let me add a couple of cons.

#1 The machine is a little pricey at the sixty dollars.

($ 35 to $40 would be a much fairer price). The machine

is a simple mechanism and made in China so there can

be no excuse like "union wages" to justify the $60 price

tag.

#2 The power cord could have been a little longer to provide

more options as to where it can be plugged in.

#3 Be careful not to touch the BOTTOM of the milk pitcher

once you have heated your milk and removed it from

the heating base and DO NOT set it down on a laminate

surface (like formica) because that baby is really HOT

and can leave a burn mark.

For performance and ease of operation this product falls into the 4 to 5 star range. The pricing, etc. rate 2 ½ to 3 stars. Overall rating 3 ½ stars.

I am so happy I bought this machine! I have a DeLonghi espresso maker, and it makes great espresso, but the milk frother on my machine is a joke. In looking for a better milk frothing solution, I tried Aerolatte machines, but I wasn't satisfied with their weak results either. Luckily, I stumbled onto this device.

To be clear, I was seeking out very thick, creamy, meringue-like froth. My espresso machine and the Aerolatte made foam with bubbles far too large to support this type of froth, so I was skeptical when I saw that this machine advertised "meringue-like frother," yet works on pretty much the same principle as an Aerolatte frother. Nevertheless, I decided to try it out, and on its first run, it gave me exactly what I was looking for: mounds of soft, pillowy forthed milk that looked more like whipped cream or meringue. I was also left with just enough steamed milk at the bottom of the pitcher to make my cappuccino.

Making frothed milk with this machine couldn't be easier: add cold milk, put on the lid, and press a button. A few minutes later, the machine automatically shuts down when it's done. As I said, you're left with mounds of perfect frothed milk, and just enough steamed milk to finish your drink. The pitcher has a nonstick surface, so cleanup is pretty simple and doens't take much time.

My only complaint is that it's a bit difficult to remove the frothing disk from the bottom of the pitcher, and the instructions don't provide any guidance or tips. My technique is to reach down underneath the disk and just pry up one side until it pops off. The disk is quite firmly connected to the pitcher and is made of thin plastic, so it doesn't seem like the best design. Like a previous reviewer, I was initially scared that I might break the disk, but it hasn't happened yet, so maybe it's more rugged than it looks. There's a little tab that sticks up from the center of each disk--it looks like it's for gripping the disk, but I didn't have any luck removing it that way. Another complaint is that the disk-mounting assembly sticking up at the bottom center of the pitcher is like a little needle! I got a pretty bad poke when figuring out how to attach and remove the disks, and, again, I didn't see any warning in the instruction book.

Overall, however, these are very minor complaints, and I'm more than satisfied with this unit. It is a bit pricey for such a specialized machine, but if you'd otherwise be buying your coffee at a coffee shop, you'll make up the cost of the machine and then some in no time!

Honest reviews on Capresso frothPRO

This frother was great while it worked... easy to use, great frothy milk, quiet.

After three months, it just stopped working. Their customer service department insisted I return the broken frother before they would send a replacement... understandable if this was an expensive coffee maker but much less customer-friendly for a less expensive appliance which broke so quickly.

I asked to speak to a manager to see if the policy could be waived (I'd return the broken frother in the box they sent, they could even charge me while I held both). Seemingly annoyed at being bothered, the manager practically berated me for asking and, literally, mocked my speech before unapologetically telling me "this is how it is".

My previous coffee maker was Capresso with which I had quality problems (returned twice) and I've also given two other Capresso products as gifts (this Frother and a coffee maker) which both subsequently broke. Clearly, I like their products but, more clearly, they have a big quality control problem.

With such quality problems and horrible customer service, I will no longer purchase Capresso products.

I liked this product so much that when the frother stopped working, I ordered a replacement machine. Only later did I discover that I did not need the $60 replacement, only the $6 replacement cup. The cup has a pivot point that the magnetized frothing disk rides on. This wears down with time. No where in the literature is this mentioned as a solution when frothing fails to happen. I am disappointed that no one suggested this solution, I would have saved over 50 bucks, but I am happy with the machine.

Reviews of Dimplex #EUAF2 Summer Fan Switch

Customer Ratings:

I have a Dimplex 7.5KW garage heater, and this switch lets you bypass the heating elements so that you can use the heater as a fan in the warm weather.

The heater had cutouts and mounting space available for the unit, so installation only took a few minutes. It wires right in following the schematic on the underside of the heater...all in all, a neat looking installation.

Only complaint is that it seems to me this should be a standard built-in part of the heater, not something that you have to pay extra for. Otherwise, it does the job and transforms your garage/workshop heater into something usable year-round.

Honest reviews on Magnetic Vent Covers

I found these to cover our heating vents because we can't control the thermostat in our building and it gets very hot. They work pretty well for that purpose, but we had to paint them to match the color of the heaters and cut them down to size, and after one season they started to curl. After another few months they curled so badly they needed to be replaced, and when I ordered more, they arrived bent (poor packaging) and never really straightened out. They are pretty inexpensive and I haven't found another way to control the heat so I bought another package, but it would be nice if the magnet was a little heavier so maybe the curling problem wouldn't happen.

Review of Sunbeam SLP3310-UM Low-Profile 1000/1500-Watt Convection Heater

Customer Ratings:

I purchased two of these units both failed after a few weeks. Problem was identical the units would work fine, but when shut off, would not power on again. The indicator light might blink, but then nothing.

I have found the problem is the cheap, polished 2 prong power plugs on these heaters. After a few uses they do not conduct enough current for the electronic control to be able to apply full power to the element.

The fix? Simple. Use an emory board to "roughen up" the plug power prongs so that a decent contact is made when the plug is inserted in the outlet. Then, buy a decent three conductor, grounded power cord and replace the AC cord entirely. At least, cut off the cheap power plug and replace it with a good plug with conductors that can carry the current needed.

If you can't do this competently, take the units to someone qualified to perform the repairs. Obviously, poor electrical connections can cause fires and would, if these units didn't have the "smarts" to see the faulty power and shut off the unit entirely.

We bought this heater for our living room to try to avoid using our central gas heating very much this winter. Our living room is fairly large, and this heater is doing a pretty good job so far. We closed doors so that it's heating just our living room and kitchen, and it has stayed very comfortable for the most part. There have been a few nights though where it was a little colder (in the 20s and 30s we live in Georgia!) and it did seem a little chilly in the room, but not COLD. We haven't noticed any significant change in our electric bill either, and we run this heater almost 24/7. Overall, it's a decent heater for keeping our living area comfortable, but if you live in an area that gets very cold, this may or may not work well for you (depending on the area you want to heat and the insulation of your home).

***UPDATED*** 12/15/09

It was nice while it lasted. We woke up this morning and the heater was off. We tried everything, and nothing would get it to turn back on no buttons worked, unplugging it and then plugging it back in didn't work, nothing. It worked well for the month that we had it, and now it just suddenly died.

I click the auto temp to 65 degrees and my rooms are warm (I also have 12' ceilings). I used these in place of the baseboard oil heat (when oil was $4 a gallon) and my heating bill was about $350 a month through the cold northeast Pa. winter. Oil would've been about $1000 a month.

I am buying 2 more to replace other models I tried that just don't work as well as these.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam SLP3310-UM Low-Profile 1000/1500-Watt Convection Heater

This unit has changed the way I heat my home in the winter.

I live in Minnesota in a commercial loft with 12' ceilings, 10' windows and hardwood floors. Heating this place evenly can be a challenge! However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that a few of these heaters were up to the task; they've made all the difference for me. I had been relying on my natural gas forced-air furnace, but the ceiling registers were too high in the air to heat the place evenly. Placing a few of these along the walls areas gave me nice, even heat throughout the apartment and sharply reduced my furnace's workload.

Even with all the cubic space created by 12' ceilings, a single heater can handle an impressively large area: each unit heats about 250-350 sq ft in my home and it doesn't seem to have a hard time keeping up. The programmable thermostat allows you to toggle-select temperatures from 65-85 (in 5-degree steps), the automatic shut-off timer has settings for 4, 8 and 12 hours. The energy saving feature cycles the wattage to save electricity consumption over a long period of time. This does reduce the heat produced (despite the claim that there is no noticeable difference) but the reduction is slight enough that I consider it a pretty good trade-off.

Outside it's variable "energy saving" mode, the unit uses a continuous 1500 watts and about 12 amps. The unit doesn't seem to be fragile and looks/feels well made. Dependability hasn't been an issue for me at all, and I now have three of these that I've pretty much been running continuously. These units are also pretty light and easy to move: there's even a small hand grip on each end to make it easy to grab. The claim that this is a silent heater is absolutely true you won't hear it at all except for some soft metallic expansion "pops" from the metal grate as it initially heats up. The size is pretty manageable also. It's about as wide and tall as the boiler drawer beneath a standard oven and is about as thick as a box of Kleenex.

All in all, I've been really pleased with these heaters. For a pretty small investment, they've made my home much more comfortable this winter and haven't been intrusive while doing so.

I bought this item from another vendor in person and paid a little less than Amazon's list price. So far so good though with this heater. It was easy to get startedjust remove the packaging materials and plug it in. At first, like your furnaces, the unit smells as it heats up. It puts out a fair amount of heat too. I am using mine in combination with a second space heater to avoid turning on the gas furnace as long as possible. I have a small home so it's nice and warm. I would recommend this to people who have a small space to heat. I'll be testing it in the basement soon. That is also the reason for only 4 stars. I really haven't had it long enough to put it through all of it paces yet. Once I do, and I expect it to pass with flying colors, I see myself getting one more possibly.

If anything changes I will post an update.

The Lasco 5812 is a very good heater especially since it has stronger fan forced air than any other I have tried & still not loud, even stronger air flow than one costing over $90. It sends the air along the floor rather than out of the top. Moving warm air can be felt for at least 5 feet from the heater. I measured it. One serious drawback is that the thermostat even though it controls the heating of the air from a lower level of 750 watts to a high of 1500 watts, it will not cut the heater off when the thermostat setting is reached. It will only lower it to the 750 watt maintenance level. This is not a problem if the heater is located where you can turn it off yourself when the room is warm enough or the temp is too cold for it to need to shut off. Where I find a problem is in my office which is unattended for hours at a time and over night or I am away on a trip. I like to keep my computer, etc. at least 60 degrees when I am not around. Since the outside temp varies from night to day which affects the inside temp, this heater will stay on even when warm enough although it will lower to the low wattage. This means that my office could get a lot hotter than desired during the day when unattended. Because of this, I use the more expensive $90+ heater in my office even though it seems not to put out as much warm air and certainly not as strong an air flow as the Lasco 5812. The Lasco works as designed very nicely, but uses electricity even when not necessary. To be just about perfect, all it needs is a thermostat that will turn it off rather than just provide controlled high and low heat. It is great when you will be around to shut it off yourself if the temp over reaches your desired amount like in your den while watching TV. I like mine regardless. Besides, the company does not want you to leave the heater unattended for safety sake anyway...Dan

The build quality is great, but it is louder than most heaters and the thermostat will never shut off the heating element even at the lowest setting. The noise isn't outrageous, but it's definitely on the loud side compared to other forced-air heaters I've used. As for the thermostat, this probably wouldn't be a problem on a very cold night or in a large room. In my small room on a mildly chilly night, however, the heater remains on even when the dial is on the lowest setting. I was roasting. Too bad. The build quality seems really solid, and it comes with a three-year warrantee.

Great Little heater, good Build Quality, unit won't shut off when at set temp . It's just a simple good little heater. It has a thermostat control, power switch, auto shut off if tipped, and forces are from the top and hot air forced to the bottom so you can place the heater against the wall if needed

Honest reviews on Lasko 5812 Automatic Air-Flow Heater with Temperature-Regulation

I bought this space heater in October of 2008 from a vendor on Amazon.com. I'd gone back to school and was renting a basement apartment with little heat. This heater made the late autumn/early winter of Michigan's Upper Peninsula bearable, and my small room livable.

It's been going strong in Mid-Michigan, all through the night, in front of the front the door, for over two years. I place it there at night and it really mitigates the chilly air that comes off the steel door. The fact that the hot air comes out the bottom makes my cats happy and my feet, too. Now, winters here can get down to -30 deg F, and if the wind's blowing over 10-15 MPH, even colder. Late 1970's trailer homes aren't known for being well-insulated and this really helps keep the propane bill down by making the room I'm in warm and comfortable.

If I turn it past midway, the poor heater turns itself off and has to sit for about 45 minutes until I can turn it back on, but it can run through the night, 8 to 9 hours, on the lowest (750 W) setting or just slightly higher. It's blowing warm/hot air, so it's not silent, but it's a white noise so it's very easy to ignore. If you want to use the highest setting, use if for only 40-45 minutes or it will turn itself automatically. I think there's a fuse that overheats at that setting.

It has a very heavy cord, which makes it ideal if you need to step over it or tug on it inadvertently. It's not fancy, but it got me through three days of no propane during a cold spell of 10 deg F during the day and -20 deg F at night. It's been kicked, pushed over, had cats run into it, had groceries dropped on it, and it still does what I purchased it for: it keeps me warm, supplements my furnace so I'm only heating the room I'm in and not the whole trailer, and it keeps the cold drafts from my feet.

I was actually thinking of buying another one because of both its toughness and its decent cost. Well, if this one does quit working, I will most definitely replace it. It's not perfect, it's not pretty, but it does the job it's built for, and if I could, I'd give it four-and-a-half stars.

UPDATE:

This heater lasted three and a half years, giving up the ghost in January of 2013 after three power outages and two subsequent surges. I will definitely be purchasing another one. This heater was both durable and effective.

I just received this heater today. The problem is that the heat never shuts off, becuse the thermostat controls only the variation between 1500 watts and 750 watts. Even at the lowest possible thermostat setting the heat elements will never shut off. If you have a large, cold room it's fine, but if you're trying to heat a small room, such as a bathroom, or using it to supplement a heater in a larger room, the heat will keep on building and building up without control. Obviously, in a bedroom situation you would have to get up at night to manually adjust the heater--turn it off--then get up later to turn it back on. This is not a heater that can be used without constnt supervision and manual adjustment.

I called customer service to find out if this is a design flaw, or am I missing something, but have not received a call back. Rereading some of the reviews of this heater, I notice that some people mentioned this design flaw, but it was not stated vehemently enough to disuade me from buying the heater. I am bluntly stating it now; this is an enormous problem.

I bought this heater over 2 years ago, have used it on a regular basis since day one, and it's still going strong. My apartment is pretty cold and the only other heat source I have is electric baseboard, which is WAY too expensive to use, so this little heater is my main source of warmth. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!

I was disappointed with the quality of this heater, it produced very little forced air and did not heat the room that way I hoped. Not usually typical with Delonghi products to not be efficient.

Save your money... this heater is NOT safe at all. It actually gets very hot to the touch, emits some type of chemical smell when first used, and did not warm my living room at all. To top it all, the quality of this heater is very poor. I returned it and bought a Vornado whole-room vortex heater-which stays cool AND heats the entire living room perfectly (for the same price).

Honest reviews on DeLonghi HS15F Safe Heat Convection Heater

Have this unit for past 2 yrs and it works perfectly. I heats up my bedroom which is approx 350sqft in about 30 mins. If I have the dual heat setting, the room gets heated up within an hour.

If you are looking for perfect heater for a bedroom or any other room then this unit will be sufficient. I also save on electric bills as I do not run the central air when I am using this.

Unit arrived couple of days ago and the box was taped around the seams, which wasn't a concern but opening today the unit was used. The plastic bag containing leg stand and screws was already torn open and had masking tape to keep closed. Screws were missing and looking at the unit very apparent it was used!! I've purchased many, many items from Amazon and can't believe they would sell a USED item as brand new!! What a shame or should I call them a sham!

Review of Factory-Reconditioned BISSELL 7901R Powersteamer Proheat Clearview

Customer Ratings:

A couple of years ago we took our carpets out and refinished the 50 year old hardwood floors on the main level of the house. The floor below we kept the carpet because of the concrete slab. I had an old bissel steam cleaner (round model) from 15 years back that was dying out. We now have a 1 year old maltese that is not nessarily fully potty trained, so we needed to upgrade our cleaner. A neighbor had the 7901 model and we used it a couple of times and it worked wonders. I wanted to purchase one but not at the full price in the store. I ended up buying the factory reconditioned model and am very pleased with it. It really cleans and extracts the water from the rug. I use the separate attachments in my cars and it works much better than the bissel little green. I have not tried any other models or brands because I have been pleased with bissel in the past. All in all it has been a great purchased.

We put the steamer to work the day it arrived, and were completely satisfied with its performance. We have purchased new steamers in the past, and there was no discernable difference between them and the reconditioned model we purchased from Amazon. Try one. You'll like it!

My factory-reconditioned Bissell works just fine. I do agree that the "turbo brush" doesn't really do anything, however.

I have used my steamer about once a month since I bought it last summer (2004), and I have never had any problems with it. I even use a natural cleaner in it so that I don't put chemicals into my carpet that could harm my son, and that has not caused any problems either.

I do recommend that you perform the maintenance listed in the booklet because I see how problems could occur without proper maintenance, and it doesn't take a lot of effort to maintain this machine (mostly just rinsing off pieces that pop in and out). The most "difficult" task I have had in maintaining this machine was to unscrew the front of the unit to remove carpet fibers that had been sucked inside. It took less than 3 minutes total to do this.

I have not tried it on hard floors.

I really like this machine, and I recommend it!!

Honest reviews on Factory-Reconditioned BISSELL 7901R Powersteamer Proheat Clearview

It worked great for about 6 cleanings. After about 6 cleanings over the past year the Bissell Pro cleaners water bucket no longer seated very well. The suction dropped off to about 50% and I had to put weight on the bucket in order to suck up the water. That fix worked but then the REALLY CHEAP floor attachments broke. Yes, just when I needed it most to clean my stairs, the THIN and poorly designed floor suction attachment broke and would not spray water very well and it started leaking air where it cracked. It's been too long to get a refund so I'm throwing this one away and am going to try a hoover. I'm in my 40s and can work my way around most mechanical problems but I can't thicken cheap plastic parts. Bissell, your product engineers need to be fired!

To keep the long story short: I own it for 6+ months, it works Ok for carpets to remove stains when using hand tool (get ready for hard work). Standard mode does not do much as well as TurboBrush works for marketing purposes only. As for hardfloor cleaning this thing fails miserably (bare floor attachemnt does not help much eaither).

As for chemicals look for other brands. Bissel cleaning solutions are useless. I've tried Pink Solution and it works well, but remember to use hot water for SmartMix Tank on the last run otherwise this chemical may cloak the system. Scotchgard is a joke carpets stay cleaner without it.

On the positive side it is powerful and I really like the water tank idea easy to replace and clean.

Got for father's day, and have to say I'm disappointed in the design of the kettle and lid. It makes great popped corn, but the photos weren't very good on the Amazon site, so I bought thinking this was a higher-end model, really like the black look. The issue with the kettle is the lid on this lifts off when cooking, and rotates around until it is jammed between the two supports, a lot of kernels fall out in the process because the lid doesn't put pressure on the popped corn coming out the top. If I had to purchase again, I'd get one that has the solid lid that in hinged on each side. Solid construction, and looks great and works okay just wish design was better.

This is the best item I've purchased in a long time.

I'm still going through different brands of popcorn to find the one that I Love.

I say almost like the theater....because I have to make it myself as opposed to walking up and having it handed to me. LOL

I've tried making flavored popcorn and have had mixed results... I pop the corn first then try mixing in a large container..

Peanut Butter came out great... the Cheddar Cheese ok.. but the Caramel... not so much.. still working on it.

I would definitely recommend one of these poppers to any popcorn purist.

I only looked at others either in stores or online... and found this to be the best deal.

I like that it has a deck warmer, even though the popcorn never stays in the machine for more than an hour...LOL

I like that it is easily removed from the base and can sit on the countertop or end table.
