Heats very well -but -the control does not allow for a setting below 70 F, whereas the instructions say that it should.

I bought this for my basement room. It warms up, but does not really warm up the room that well. I use it in my laundry area to help dry the clothes I hang in there in the winter. The icy chill is gone, but it doesn't feel "warm" in the room.

I wrote this review before but it wasn't published probably because of the low rating. It was ordered though Warehouse Deals and advertised as like new. It wasn't. It was smashed, cracked, and broken. It should have been thrown in the trash, not put back on the shelf. If this isn't posted, I will not rate or write another review on this website.

This mantle is a beautiful dark oak with cherry undertones. The flames are realistic, and the logs look nice when the fireplace is on or off. You can feel the quiet heater blowing from a distance; it blows down and away. The reflected logs give the illusion of the flames dancing in the middle of a random pile of logs. Ember bed glows and pulsates. Assembled in minutes with a phillips screwdriver, and I am not that handy. Solid, beautiful, heats the room. Very satisfied.

Ordered this product a couple of weeks ago. Looks very nice. Heat is effective. It also has a nice handle to carry it.

However it makes as much noise as a hair dryer. Therefore is hard to keep it on for too long. Am considering returning the item.

Lasko Heater Model 5409 is the newer version of its predecessor, Model 5429 (according to Amazon; which I don't dispute).

BELOW, is my review of Lasko Model 5429. The info about Lasko Model 5429 also pertains to its successor, Model #5409.

SHORT STORY: If you use either of these heaters in a bathroom, the life of the heater will definitely be shortened.

I have owned two of these terrific little heaters -Lasko "Oscillating Ceramic Heater Model 5429."

HOWEVER, I have learned that the manufacturer states that this heater SHOULD NOT BE USED IN A BATHROOM. Not due to safety reasons, but FOR THIS REASON: The dampness/humidity from showers and tubs causes the heating element to corrode -causing the heater to permanently stop working.

I bought my second one of these heaters in July 2012, and on December 31, 2012 (6 months), the heater "died." Location where I used the heater: the BATHROOM.

Here is the link to the Lasko website, and product info for "Oscillating Ceramic Heater Model 5429."

[link not allowed by Amazon]

On the page that comes up, there is a button, "User Manual."

Click on that -it brings up a PDF file (which you can download, or read online).

On page 2 of the PDF, go to the second (smaller) "Warning" icon, and below it read item #15:

"15. This Heater is not intended for use in wet or damp locations. This Heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations."

There is a 3-year Manufacturer's Warranty. But, Amazon will not accept return of products whose Purchase Date is older than 30 days. Amazon Customer Service advised me to contact Lasko, which I did: Lasko Customer Service: 800-233-0268. Lasko has graciously consented to replace my heater this time, but they made sure I understand that using it in a bathroom will definitely shorten its life.

HERE is a space heater that is made to work in bathrooms.

In fact, it is named Holmes® Bathroom Heater, MODEL HFH436-NM. Note: Ignore the differing letters after HFH436; these two "models" are the same heater.

Holmes HFH436WGL-U Heater Fan with Bathroom Safe Plug

FYI: Holmes Customer Service, 800-545-5637

It is available at many retail stores.

Regarding this unit on Amazon: Holmes Customer Service (on 1/4/2013) told me that the model listed on Amazon -Holmes® Bathroom Heater, MODEL HFH436WGL-U -is the same as MODEL HFH436-NM.

They are one and the same unit. I have just now (1/4/2013) placed an Amazon order for this bathroom heater.

Bought this heater for our office spaces and these work so well! The heat coverage is great and it's a very simple, non complicated heater so the functions are simple, hi or low and fan. Temperatures are adjustable and simple dial too. The sound doesn't bother me or my coworkers, it's not that loud, you can hear it but it's not annoying or causing an increase in speaking volume. Someone said it's as loud as a hair dryer -that is inaccurate and over exaggerated. It's a calming background noise. Definitely good when the office gets too quiet.

I Love this heater and I hope it lasts me for next winter too if not, it's so decently priced, buying a new one isn't a problem! I recommend it!

In my quest for a healthier lifestyle, I decided to add green tea to my daily liquid intake. I've never been a coffee or tea drinker so I perused Amazon to find an electric tea kettle for my work office.

I decided to try the Aroma AWK-160SB kettle/cooker for several reasons. First, I like that it's stainless steel and not plastic like so many other electric teapots. Second, the price seemed very reasonable for the item's quality, and third, the pasta option seemed really cool!

I got my kettle and took it to work, only to find that the on/off switch would kick to off immediately when I turned the temp up. So, to boil water I had to hold down the switch manually. Not good. I contacted Amazon about returning the item and was VERY VERY impressed with their return policy on faulty products. They RUSHED me a new one AND paid return postage on the bad one. In this day of awful customer service being the norm for so many companies, I was thrilled about how well Amazon treated me.

When I got the new one, I was happy to find that it worked just fine. It is SO versatile. I've cooked both pasta and oatmeal in it, and also make my daily green tea. It comes to a boil very quickly and it's very easy to turn down the dial and stabilize the water temp at just under a rolling boil for pasta.

My only complaint is that the cord that comes out of the base is really short, but worse is that it's stiff and twisted (from being wrapped around the base) and when you don't have the pot on the base, the cord can and will whip the base around like what happens to a person at the end of the line in 'crack the whip'.

I would think this item would be handy for an office, a dorm room or a single person's kitchen. All in all, I'm quite impressed with its features and its cost/quality value.

I use this as a water kettle only currently, and I really like it so far. I've looked for a long time for an electric kettle that allows the water not to contact any plastic, and this kettle has this exact feature -the interior is completely metal although the lid is plastic, but you don't have to use the lid if you don't want to. I also like the way the heating element is completely sealed and that the kettle detaches from the base (the cordless feature). This kettle's construction appear to be very good quality, and it has a 1-year warranty. Its water kettle function works great -it boils 1 liter of cold water in about 5 minutes. It being a noodle cooker/ soup warmer is a cool feature that I might use one day. This item also comes with a collander and a cute little metal pasta fork to aid you with cooking noodles. I'm very glad I found this kettle.

I've only had this item for 3 weeks now and primarily purchased it for cooking 2 portions of pasta and Ramen noodle soups quickly.. I've used it about 15 times so far and here are the results..

The Good:

The pot is extreamly well built and boils water for cooking pasta and soups much quicker than on the stove. The pasta cooking feature works great for 2 cups (dry) of wide egg noodles, as well as Ramen Noodle soups.

It also works great for simply boiling water for tea or any other use, and the automatic shutoff feature is great as well..

The Bad:

Because the electronics are in the pot itself, and not the base, and the manual warns of getting those components wet, the pot is more difficult to clean than it should be. The pot is also not teflon lined, so I would not be inclined to cook cream based soups or other things that might stick.. I also have to agree with another reviewer here about the power cord.. It's very stiff and unyielding, much more so than necessary in this day and age. When the pot is off the base its basically "the tail wagging the dog". The cord is also hard to store in the base as well.

The Bottom Line.

If you can live with the bad which isn't really hard to do, it's a great little appliance and has found a favored spot in my kitchen..

Honest reviews on Aroma AWK-160SB Pasta Plus Water Kettle and Noodle Cooker

I bought this item to boil water and cook food without a range after my house burned down. It boils water pretty fast and is great for drip coffee or espresso. You can also throw the tea bags right in it for tea. I cooked pasta in it, and although the cleanup isn't fun and you have to be careful about the water level so it doesn't boil over, that works too. For a single serving, it's so much faster than a stove as well. I also used it for instant oatmeal and to heat soup. You can eat right out of it if you want.

To clean it, I soak it in a vinegar solution overnight, and then it's easy. I have well water with lots of minerals, so that takes care of the mineral buildup at the same time. I'd never get one that didn't have a wide opening as it would be horrible to clean! The simple shape and wide opening means you can get right in there with a scrubbie.

I also love that there's no plastic in contact with the water. I had a plastic one, and one day it shocked me when I placed my finger in the water (the metal heating element didn't interface well with the plastic container), and the plastic got horribly discolored with iron and tomato sauce.

But, after using the Aroma for four months, I started to smell plastic burning inside the unit. It seemed that it had an electrical issue, and that could cause a fire! Which, after being through a fire and being told by the fire marshal that small appliances are a major cause of house fires, freaked me out! I hope I just got a defective one. I liked its functionality so much I might try another...it's so versatile and the stainless steel is high quality and thick.

I've used electric teakettles for about 25 years. This one promises to last a long time the heating element is self-contained, the pot itself has no holes in it, and thus no gaskets to leak. However, it was designed by someone who never uses an electric teakettle.

It is sloppy to pour, and clumsy to fill (you have to remove the top, which is locked on or is it off? hard to tell by 2 little press tabs). The top always has a large puddle of condensation ready to drip out. It is hard to read the Max and Min labels. Also, I have twice scalded my thumb because of the gap between the handle and the top. Plus, I really cannot imagine someone using both the teakettle and the pasta cooker maybe my son at college, except he wouldn't trust the plastic drainer. Others are keen on the lack of plastic, but the top is plastic and the pasta strainer is cheap plastic.

I think the scalding concern should make this a good candidate for recall.

Aroma could have made this quite elegant and useful, but instead it is simply klutzy and unsafe.

This little fireplace is worth its weight in gold. It's attractive, light weight, cool on top so I don't have to worry about the cat frying herself, and heats up my office beautifully. The fan is a bit louder than I'd prefer, but that is a minor issue since it's in the same room as two computers. However, I don't think I'd want it in a bedroom.

One caveat: If you turn the unit off and move it, it will not turn back on until the heating element cools down. This is a design feature, according to the manufacturer, but not mentioned in the documentation.

I've been searching for a small, efficient, quiet fireplace stove for several months and have always held back on a purchase because after reading reviews I learn they are either inefficient or loud! After doing a thorough check online about this particular stove, I finally ordered it on Amazon! It arrived in perfect shape, all I had to do was screw on the legs which took about 5 minutes and after reading the directions it was up and running! I really like the option of choosing one of the 500 watts of power or both so energy isn't wasted when I don't need that much heat output. You can also control the intensity of the realistic looking flame or simply leave it off. The stove runs quietly even on the highest setting. The infrared heat is a bonus over other stoves as the heat is absorbed and reflected. I'm using this heater in my 3 1/2 year old grandson's playroom at our home and the safety factor of the unit remaining cool to the touch is a high priority of course, the actual heat source at the bottom of the stove is still a "hands off area"!!!! I can't vouch for the efficiency cost wise of this unit as I don't use it that often but my guess is that it's great! Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

The only minus I can think of is that it does not have a remote personally, I don't need one for its intended use but that might be a consideration for others...say if you're using it in the bedroom and don't want to get out of bed to turn it off or on!?

Another note is that I had questions about the unit before I bought it, wrote to the manufacturer and received a thorough, speedy reply via Amazon always good to know communications are good!

I received this heater at the end of Dec. 2012. Even on high it does not put out enough heat to heat 600 Sq. Feet of space.

Can't really state it's electricity usage because of many other electrical use factors. For around $200.00, this item

is certainly not worth it. It has the basic metal coils at bottom of heater that turn bright orange and a small fan blowing across

them. Typical of old stlye heaters. Many other equalivants at walmart for half the price.

I installed this in the living room of my 5th wheel trailer. We rarely see temps below freezing, so this does a nice job of keeping my trailer toasty. The all steel construction is much better than the plastic De Longhi that it replaced. I have it wall mounted, so I can't comment on the wheels.

RV's do not have unlimited current available, so the ability to run this on 5, 10 or 15 amps is very useful.

Expensive, but worth it. The steel case can be opened, it therefore can be repaired.

For years I've used a kerosene heater to heat my garage, and found it acceptable for occasional use. On my last trip to the gas station, Kerosene was over $5 per gallon. Now, each time I wanted to do a project in the garage during the winter, it cost me $3 to $4 just to take off the cold! Being the cheapskate that I am, I shopped the online used stuff site we all love, and purchased a used blue flame heater for $80, that looked like new. The owner told me it worked great. So I parted with the cash and hooked everything up to my new gas line in the garage. After an hour, I went out to see how things were going. Obviously, there was a problem, because the garage stunk to high heaven. I had just wasted $80.

After reeling from my loss of four crisp Twenty Dollar Bills, I suddenly became a very smart shopper. While I was not able to do comparisons on anything but paper, I decided on the ProCom based on what "seemed" to be the popularity of the system. Also, I went with the infra-red design, based on the notion that newer usually means improved. Minutes ago, I fired up my new heater, and I could not be happier. After a few minutes of running, there are no fumes at all. I even went outside for a breath of fresh air, and to tune up my nostrils for anything I may not have detected earlier. No problem! This thing burns clean!

I live in the Detroit area, and could not locate a retail store where I could pourchase this unit. On-line seemed to be my only option. Then, as I was driving to Central Michigan University to pick up my daughter, it occurred to me that the buyer demographic in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan (up north, as we say here) may actually stock these things. They do, and the price at Manard's was competitive with the best I found on-line. I'm sold. You can't go wrong with a ProCom.

Have been using an electric metabolic heater for years in the garage, decided it was time to get more comfortable. Installed this heater in my garage, aka "Man Cave" and couldn't be happier. I would say this is the best item I have purchased in the past few years. Installation was simple, hookup to natural gas a plus and it heats up a 3 car garage in a little over an hour from about 45 to 70 degrees, exactly what I was looking for. Gas is so much cheaper than electricity it just makes $ence. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
