Delivered promptly. Correctsize I ordered. I don't see white dust on my floor around the vent openings, so it must be working.

These are the worst filters I have had ever laid my hands on. There are no labels or any words on these filters. They look like very cheap filters. I bought six and did not fit my intake vent and contacted seller but no success. Save yourself some money and frustration...Don't buy anything like this from this seller.

As like everyone else i was happy to have heat from this unit when first purchesed. Now only a year later all fuel line hoses have cracked which i have replaced with fuel lines that are rated for fuel not just cheap vacuum line cannot keep unit operational i am always pulling the main jet and blowing compressed air through which is a job to remove , flushed fuel tank,tried different fuels. As far as im concerned this is just more Chinese junk.Do not spend your hard earned money on this. I know people that have had their forced air heaters for more than a decade and have had no problems. I dont like to be negative about anything but when a company is not going to build a decent product people should know.

I have 4 of these heaters which I have been using to keep buildings above freezing for about 4 years. While they have done the job, they have been very problematic. I have had several catch on fire. They seem to be very maintenance intensive. Ive been replacing filters and nozzles on them to try and keep them running. I probably need to replace the air pumps as well but thats more expensive. The hoses seem to be ok so far. Ive been using off road diesel fuel in them. Like the other person said you are basically happy just to have heat but these are not made like old forced air heaters Ive dealt with in the past. They put out alot of heat and keep the buildings from freezing so they do the job, you just have to keep up on the maintenance on them.

Works very well, if using in a shop move it to an area that will circulate the warm air back through it so thermostat will cycle it on and off. I was heating through a doorway and was getting cooked out of shop, once moved it worked great.

I have a very large family room/kitchen open area. I have been closing the door to the rest of my house, setting the thermostat back to 62 and running the Duraflame in the FR area. The FR warms up to 69/70 and the rest of my home goes down to 62. About half-an-hour before going to bed I set the thermostat to 66. I was concerned about my electric bill, but when it came I was pleasantly surprised that it had only gone up $12 for the entire month. Even better my gas heating bill went down over $25 for the month. The cabinet stays cool to the touch and looks like a piece of furniture. I would definitely recommend this heater.

Holmes HWM6000-UM Small Room Warm Mist Humidifier Review

Holmes HWM6000-UM Small Room Warm Mist Humidifier
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
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).

great value for the money. no filter was the reason for the purchase and thank goodness. can be hard to clean, but i haven't tried the baking soda yet. can be heavy when full of water, and the tank is so big that i have to use the bathtub to fill it because it doesn't fit under my sink. it is very quiet and would recommend it to anyone.

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.

I recently purchased this unit because my bedroom is fairly big and I seen 14,000 BTU. Don't even think of getting one, as my fan cools the room better. I had a 8000 btu window unit and it blew this 14k btu unit away.The unit blows fairly cool air but not enough to do the job in any room not even a doghouse. It's also very loud so don't try watching TV

I recently purchased this unit & so far I am totally satisfied with the cooling. Set up was pretty easy but you have to make sure that you measure your window correctly. I have read numerous reviews about this being very noisy or it's just a big fan but I would assume they just recieved a defective unit. This ac is no louder than a window unit & doesn't bother me at all. The only problem I have is the sleeve's for the hose were not in the box but I am in contact with the seller and they are on the way but other than that once I connected the unit & turned it on the unit quickly cooled my apartment with no problem...ps I purchased this unit @ air & water inc for $426 with free shipping and they also gave me a 3 yr warranty for free but I'm not sure if that deal still exists.

Cheap Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Pressure

Zojirushi NP-HTC10 Induction Heating 5-1/2-Cup Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
1) Note that better prices can be had offline. I bought this product for $239 at an Asian grocery store and it came with a 20lb bag of rice to boot. I imagine the invoice price is around $200. Someone's making an insane amount of profit selling this for $400+.

2) This rice cooker produces moist, fluffy, chewy, textured rice that exceeds a vast majority of the restaurants out there, including those that cook individual portions of rice in stone pots. It will spoil you and make you a snob when it comes to rice. The menu has different settings for pretty much any kind of rice you want to cook like white (soft, regular, hard), brown, mixed, rinse-free, sushi, porridge, GABA, etc. You can keep the rice warm and tasting fresh for upto 24hr.

3) Good things take time, but this cooker pushes the limit of patience, taking ~50mins for white rice, ~75min for mixed rice, and upto 3.5hr for GABA rice. Fortunately, there's a timer so you can tell it to have rice done by say 6pm, as well as an express mode (25mins) when you are starving. Though still quite good, rice cooked in express mode tends to be slightly firmer and not as impressive as the regular mode. (Minus half star for long cooking time)

4) Compared to the $10 variety I used for a number of years, this one has more parts to clean. The non-stick bowl, the inner lid, and the steam vent needs cleaning after each use as you'd expect. In addition, you need to check if any debris is obstructing any of the sensors, holes, or vents. The air intake and exhaust located on the bottom of the cooker for dissipating heat needs an occasional vacuuming. (Minus half star for extra cleaning required)

5) This unit is rated at ~1230 watts, but that doesn't mean it's using that much electricity continuously like a hair dryer. The cooker turns the heat on and off as needed like an oven to maintain internal temperature and pressure. (Since posting this review, I measured the total electricity consumed by using a Kill A Watt 4460 meter and it came out to 3 cents per use.)

6) Back to the original question, is it worth it? This is really a personal decision based on your budget, utilization, and love for rice. My thought process was I could buy 16 x 20lb bags of rice, or get this rice cooker and enjoy that 1 bag of rice like I never have before. Finding it for $200+ cheaper sweetened the deal too.

I have never had a better more intuitive rice cooker than this Zojirushi! I am just sorry I had not purchased it sooner. It makes delicious brown rice (I have not tried the GABA yet, but I expect it to be par excelllence). The brown rice is the best that can be made as long as it is washed, as you should with all rice. I love trying new things to add to my brown rice and I am itchin' to try the GABA. I could not recommend this rice cooker with greater enthusiasm, delight and satisfaction.

I cooked Steel Cut Oats on the Porridge setting, and I could not have made it better; as a matter of fact, I was extremely pleased and mine, heretofore, never tasted as good.

I have been cooking rice with Japanese rice cookers for decades. When my last one failed after more than 20-years of service, I decided to buy the best replacement I could find, regardless of cost. (It's easy for me to justify paying a premium for a product I plan to use on a daily basis for decades.) After much research, I chose this one because it seemed to me that the Zojirushi induction pressure rice cookers were regarded as among the best rice cookers sold in US.

I am very happy with the build quality, look and convenience features of the product. However, after buying the rice cooker, I realized that pressure cookers produce rice that is too soft for my taste. I now know that many people prefer pressure rice cookers specifically because they produce super soft rice that doesn't adhere together too much. I prefer rice with a little more body. After corresponding directly with Zojirushi, I learned that the "soft", "medium", and "hard" settings can only be used when cooking white rice on the default setting, but not in any of the other settings (e.g., quick rice) or with any other grains (e.g., brown rice) and that white rice cooked on the "hard" setting in this cooker is roughly as hard as white rice cooked in a non-pressure cooker on the default setting.

I had eight people from three families individually compare high quality white and brown rice freshly cooked in this cooker and a budget one-button rice cooker in side-by-side blind taste tests. Everyone had surprisingly strong preferences, but their preferences were roughly equally split between rice cooked in the pressure cooker and budget cooker based on texture. Those who liked super soft rice thought the rice cooked in the Zojirushi was great. Those who didn't prefered the rice cooked in the budget cooker.

I rate this cooker with 1-star, while my wife would give it 5-stars, based solely on whether we happen to like super soft rice. I like everything about the cooker, except for the texture of the rice it produces. If I had my druthers, I would swap this pressure induction cooker for a non-pressure version from the same maker. Unfortunately for me, her vote is more equal than mine, especially in the kitchen....

Got this Pressure Rice Cooker and used it the next day. White rice came out better than any other rice cookers I have owned. It was a lot of money, but in my opinion, was so worth the cost. You get what you pay for, and in the case of this rice cooker, I got exactly that -one excellent cooker! Had no problems with it, just followed the directions and used their provided cup to measure level cups of raw rice. It is a 5 Star all the way!

The negative first: it's expensive and not for everyone (i.e. you do not eat rice a lot, and yet I am Asian).

The rest is nothing but positive. It looks good and makes fantastic rice. I don't quite understand how it does it, but this rice cooker manages to make brown rice the same consistency of white rice. If you and your family only casually eat rice, this is not the rice cooker for you, buy something a lot less expensive. If you eat rice more than once a week it is definitely worth it from my perspective. It is well designed and very easy to clean.

The item looks very nice on the wall, but the fire doesn't really look real in my opinion. I was expecting a real flame, but this is just lights that make it LOOK like a flame, not actual fire. The only warmth comes from the fan which you can set to two settings. It blows out hot air from the top of the fireplace which makes it impossible to put anything else up on the wall above it. We have our TV up there so we cannot ever turn the heat function on. The fan is also really noisy which ruins that atmosphere. We decided to keep it as we cannot afford much more than this for one with real flames, but would not have purchased if we had more funds!

I received the Warm House electric fireplace as a Christmas present from my daughter. The fireplace stopped working 3 days later. Following the Instruction Manual, I contacted Midwest Trading Group via email for a repair or replacement. Midwest Trading Group gave me a number to call which was their shipping department. ???! The shipping department referred me back to Midwest's Customer Service who sent me to Groupon through which my daughter placed her order. Because of the back and forth, I was too late in contacting them (14 days) so they couldn't help. The original warranty was 30 days; all contact with Midwest Trading Group was made within that time, and during that time no one would accept responsibility for repairing or replacing the fireplace. I am now stuck with a 40 lb. handsome looking, non-functioning piece of metal.

When I purchased this, it had five 5 star reviews and one 1 star review. Unfortunately, I had the exact same problem as the previous 1 star review. When I lit the heater, it was fine for about a minute, then started sputtering and shooting flames from the front, and eventually shut off. I repeated several times, double checked the installation and operation instructions, and it still didn't work.

After inspecting the unit, I realized that a rivet was missing, which was allowing air to leak in, apparently causing the sputtering and flame. I was able to bolt it down using my own hardware and the unit works fine now.

Had it worked from the start, it would be a great buy. As is, I can't give a good review to something that I had to fix (and only hope stays functional).

Great heater for the money. I got it for working in my detached garage, but I found it is effective even outside on a 35F day while I was replacing my car brakes. I just got an exchange 20LB propane tank in the local (NY) liquor store for $22 and running! The unit also will work with smaller tanks like 5 pounds, typically not as convenient or cost effective as the classic 20 LB.

I purchased this candle warmer to melt a lotion candle, but have since also used it to melt a normal wax candle. It works great! I've had it running continuously for several weeks. It keeps the room pleasantly scented without any of the risks of flame. Plus, the wax doesn't burn, so I think the candle will last much longer. I'm thinking of putting some of my other burned-down candles on the warmer to even them out. I know some reviewers didn't like that it took a long time to completely melt a large candle, but with a smaller one (the $1.99 Tindra candles from IKEA), I found it melts in less than half an hour.

I've tried a lot of things to keep my rooms scented (plug-ins, sprayers, etc.), and I think I'm sold on the candle warmer. It is a little consumptive, but most active room fragrance devices take power, so that is likely close to a wash. But with the candle warmer, I have a virtually endless number of scent choices at a wide range of prices, unlike a proprietary diffuser. I'm definitely planning on one for my office as well.

Honest reviews on Candle Warmers Etc. Original Candle Warmer

I purchased this guy for two reasons: I wanted to use it in our combined living/dining room area without having to light the candle and disperse smoke, but the scent of the candle doesn't travel far enough when using the warmer as opposed to lighting the candle. It does work well in smaller spaces. The second reason I bought the warmer was to use up the last of my Yankee candles to create my own layered candles. See idea here:

It's generally difficult to burn off the last bit of your candles because the liquified wax puts out the flame, so I loved the idea of creating my own layered candle using complimentary scents. I purchased these candle wicks on Amazon: Gelly Candle Wick & Anchors-9' Wick, 12 Anchors and together both products have worked great!
