Discount Fox 48" TV Stand with Electric Fireplace in Black/Walnut

Customer Ratings:

I just got this fireplace and I love it! Very impressed with the realism of the flames and logs.

I bought this for the ambience it gives my living room and not for the heater so can't really comment on how well it will heat a room as I haven't used it.

Pros: Realistic looking flames and logs. Well built and sturdy. Open shelf is wide enough that it holds both my cable and home theater plus my center speaker.

Cons: The open shelf is only 14" in depth. So make sure you measure the components you plan on using. Mine stick out a bit but doesn't ruin the looks. This is the reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5.

Cannot comment on shipping as I found this in a little shop. However, I had been looking on line and Amazon has the lowest price I have seen.

I did not order this product via Amazon but through another source. Because I was new to dehydrators I was not certain how much time it took for things to dry. I did a lot of research: read a lot and spoke to a lot of people who worked regularly w/ dehydrators. I figured there was a learning curve and I used the machine for a number of months, rarely getting the results I expected. I finally realized the motor/heat gauge on my dehydrator was malfunctioning and sent it back. I was sent another one and it arrived with the temp control knob broken off and no way to fix it. The knob had been attached with a incorrect component that was too short to fit from the knob into the dehydrator. (Also, the shelves had not been packed "evenly" and it was amazing they hadn't broken.) The next dehydrator I received was packed well, but there was one small screw and washer inside the machine, floating around, not attached to anything, and it was unclear where exactly it came from. I began using the dehydrator anyway, it seemed to work the first two days, but then it developed a rattle and the temp gauge again seems to be wrong. 105 degrees is very cool air. I do need to say I haven't put a thermometer inside to check.

I feel like I bought a loser. I don't know who is assembling these simple machines, but it does not seem as if they are trained well. I can not vouch for the temp control. Simple crackers take beyond 40 hours to dry. I would go with a different brand if I did this again.

Be warned with 12 sq ft of drying space this is a sizeable counter top addition, I dislike that you cannot just turn it on and let it run, you have to set the timer for it to start running, but that is a nice safety feature (I can be forgetful)

I have finally given it a break since I got it set up, and I have made some grawnola, bananas, apples, flax crackers, and a few other dried veggies for snacks and it has done an amazing job.

I am sure someone will get one with a bad motor, or danaged tray at some point and give it bad reviews, but I personally enjoy it and think it was a wise investment.

I actually own 6 of these units (I dry fruits and vegetables for farmer's markets). Needless to say, owning 6 of them...these machines are marvelous. I have never had one go out on me (and in all reality, the construction of these is pretty simple...heating element, a fan, racks, and a timer). The space in the racks is perfect. The units run out quietly. I am a 100% believer in the STX Dehydra and would recommend them to any person looking to acquire a reliable and affordable entry-level dehydrator.

Honest reviews on Good4U 10 Tray Dehydrator with 40 Hour Digital Timer - Black

I love the functionality of this unit but I have had it for about 4 years and every year something else stops working. Now they have been good thus far about reparing this unit for the three times I have already had to send it back but this time I am just done. Good4U customer service is FAR from service. I actually had an employee practically yelling at me on the phone and told me the phones were for vendors and customers needed to send emails. REALLY???? Well as my unit no longer powers on (the same issue I had just about one year ago) it unfortunately is going to end up in a land fill unless I cand find someone local to look at it. After paying shipping three times already Im not sure how much more Im willing to put into this unit.

I have an email I received from Customer service that I will update with a few of the tidbits from it later.

I would just caution to be aware.

I've used this product ALOT. I have made my own beef jerky and dried fruits. I have probably saved the amount of money I spent on the Dehydrator with as much jerky as I have made. It works well and I put the trays in the dish washer. Overall great product.

The heat wire works, but the breaker doesn't fit any American breaker boxes, the thermostat doesn't fit any electrical boxes and is next to impossible to program and the foil tape is so thin and poorly made it is basically useless. This product is made for sale in another country, repackaged in english, and sold in the US.

Looks like a no brainer to install but haven't gotten to that step yet in the remodeling job. With no mat, it will take longer to lay it out, but with the savings over the easier method, we feel it was a good purchase. As retired people with a fixed income, we are always interested in the most economical choice.

The product came in two days and packaged well.

As noted in previous reviews, these air vent covers aren't magnetically strong enough to cling to an air vent with air coming out of it. Hell, I couldn't get them to stay on even then the air wasn't blowing, much less when it was blowing.

For air returns, these would probably work okay if the magnetics were strong enough to hold it to the register.

If you are using it for floor vents, it is fine, but I have a vent on the ceiling and it does not stay up.

The problem is that when packed three together, the magnetic fields are weakened. I found two covers placed with the right polarity stick to a ceiling vent better. You also need to cut them to the vent size to reduce weight.

It's a good idea but the solution needs refinement.

Unfortunately, these cover are not magnetic enough to support their weight in a vertical position, which is what I bought them for.

All the prior reviews are acccurate and these don't work as advertised for the purposes of covering wall vents. However as weak as these magnetic covers are they can potentially work for you. Here's the solution I found that works ok:

1) First make sure to cut them exactly to size...the smaller the better as this allows them to hold their own weight much better.

2) Double them up. After you cut it to size use 2 covers back-to-back on wall vents. They will hold this way.

If all else fails you can always use those mini-magnets which are obscure and powerful enough to hold these up and get the job done.

Review of Amcor ALTL12000EH 12000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Heat

Customer Ratings:

This is the most terrible piece of electronic/small appliance/ home equipment I have ever had to deal with. The unit is ridiculously heavy, and therefore difficult to move and very frustrating and difficult to position near windows of various heights from the floor. It heats the room as much as it cools, rendering it as "useful" as a fan sucking in air in a window on a hot and humid day. It does this because the pipe that "vents" to the outside radiates heat through itself. The hot part of the A/C unit is still in the room with you, not hanging out the window, and therefore renders the cooling ineffective.

Go to insulate this trash thin plastic pipe, and its fitting cuff teeth that fasten it to the back of the unit snap off. It is poorly built, over-priced, and a frustrating waste of money and time.

The graphical display on the unit takes a thorough re-read of the manual to interpret all its obnoxious symbols for operation. I cannot wait to bring this back and retrieve every wasted nickel spent on it.

My advice to you is to buy a window unit. If you must get a "portable" one, don't buy Amcor. They Amsuck.

I purchased a NanoMaxA12000EH several years ago to cool a large bedroom of around 300 sqft. The equipment is advertised for up to 400 sqft. Presumably more than adquate for this application. Window units are sized at about 20 btu per sqft or in this case 6,000 btu. To be immediately noted is that it takes a lot more btu per square foot for this and other portable air conditioners to achieve the same outcome as a window unit half the size in btu.

So how did it work? Not well at all. On a hot day starting with the room in the mid 80 degree range with say 60 percent humidity it cannot cool the room down. It may drop the temperature 1 degree per hour. If we cool the room with a fan it can drop the temperature from say 78 degrees to 74 degrees in 2-3 hours. It of course provides comforting cool air if you focus on you.

A call to AMCOR support revealed that the technician thought I was definitely at or above the limit of its capacity at 300 sqft.

In use it is easy to see why it is slow. It adds considerable heat load to the room through the exhaust tube and in particular the large plastic attachment the connects the tube to the window vent. This plastic can be very hot to the touch and it is of course inside the room. The tubing is less hot however I have it as close to the window as possible (2 feet) to minimize the length the tube is played out. Presumably a long stretch of tube will also generate a lot of heat like a dryer duct. In sum, the unit is adding substantial heat load to the room severely compromising cooling efficiency. I addressed this issue by placing wet towels on the tubing and large plastic fitting. So long as they are wet they do keep it cool.

I also learned from the service rep you cannot operate the heating feature without also having the tubing installed in the window. Of course on a cold day you probably do not want an insert in your window.

Since the compressor, fans, etc. are inside the room it makes more noise than a window unit.

The filters (3) are white so it is easy to miss seeing that they should be cleaned.

On the plus side it is easy to roll around and install the vent in the window although I had to upgrade the insulation around the edge of the window insert to keep hot air that was vented circulating back into the room. I looks nice and it avoids having an unsightly window unit sticking out of a front window.

In sum, if you want cooling you are well advised to get a good window unit many of which are not that hard to insall. This unit would be best used in a room of 200 square feet or less.

Purchased my Amcor ALTL 12,000EH about three years ago. Wanted one to cool and heat my windowless two car attached garage. I decided to set it up on a work bench and vent to the attic area rather that cutting a hole in a wall or door.

Living in coastal Georgia it does get the temperature to comfortable level in both summer and winter.

As I recall, someone else mentioned the sound effects not being too good. No, doesn't really sound like a crackling fire to me, but you can mute it. I am happy with my purchase temp control, ambiance control (brightness of flame image), and it works...also doesn't get hot anywhere on the unit, other than the air coming out the front vents. The fan is a bit loud, but I don't mind. My Dad and Step-mom have one like this, so I already knew I'd like it. I looked around, but ended up with one just like theirs. Good for the price!

Best Nordic Pure 20x24x4M12-1 MERV12 AC Furnace Air Filter, Box of 1 Deals

Understand that when you receive your box, the filter itself will be unwrapped and will not have any identification on it. If your box arrives unsealed (and 2 of my boxes have) you may suspect a scam when the outside package is genuine, and an unscrupulous reseller has replaced the contents with junk.

Nordic says that they don't print the Nordic name on their product to save money. They do print the size and air flow direction, so adding their name won't change their cost. At best, it allows them to manufacture for bulk sale to other companies. Wonder who is reselling re-branded Nordic filters, and do they cost less???

Printing an ID on the filter...

1) Adds marketing push to the Nordic brand,

2) Assures the consumer they've received the quality they think they are purchasing, and

3) Puts the Nordic name in front of the consumer when filter replacement time comes.

I can't assure you that I received a MERV 12 filter, but it does resist airflow more than the MERV 8 filter I replaced does. This could just be thicker filter material or reduced surface area, not better material that will stop more and smaller particles. Nordic, despite the product picture, doesn't identify the filter as even Nordic, let alone MERV 12. {Minus 1 star.}

PS: Other vendors such as Honeywell have upgraded their standard filter MERV rating. If I re-order the part number on Honeywell sticker on my furnace, I will now get a MERV 11 instead of the old MERV 8, and pay the lower MERV 8 price. {Minus 1/2 star.}

PPS: What Nordic calls a 4" filter is actually 3 1/2 inches thick. Other vendors 4" filters are actually 4 3/8 inches thick. Measure your old one, and read the manufacture's dimensions CAREFULLY. {Minus 1/2 star.}

These filters appear to be doing a good job. We're seeing less dust around the house which is great.

One comment once I got the filter out of the box there wasn't any info on the filter itself documenting the MERV level, and in fact the shipping box was somewhat unclear as to whether I had received a MERV 12 or MERV 13 filter. To Nordic's credit they answered the phone, talked to me about the product and how they make it, and I was convinced I made a good purchase.

I will certainly look to Nordic Pure as my go to filter in the future. Very nice company, good product, good price.

Sunbeam Hot Shot Beverage Machine Review

Customer Ratings:

This is a marvelous appliance because it is just so darn simple! I bought one to keep in my office at work for making tea, and it has worked out great!

There isn't even an on/off switch. Just put water in it, plug it in, and a red light goes off when it is ready to pour. Put a mug under the dispenser, push the lever, and there you go!

One reviewer said that it does not have a fill-to line, and so water can spill over. I don't see this as a problem. Just heat as much water as you need. I fill up my mug with hot water, pour the water into the appliance, and dispense the water when it is hot back into the mug. Oddly enough, I get out exactly the same amount as I put in! Don't try to heat more than 16 ounces at a time.

The Hot Shot does only one thing, but boy does it do it well! Easy to use, simple to clean, and attractive on the counter. Love having hot tea without fussing with heating water in the office microwave!

This is one of my favorite small appliance products ever. I got one of these in the 1980s and it lasted me for years and years. I gave it away to charity and have searched for one since then ! I thought I'd get a new one and it would look 'new' therefore better. But it was still working perfectly when I gave it away. I only hope whoever got it, knew how to use it and likes it as much as I did ! I can't find another one now ! LOL

Anyway, it's been described in the other reviews but I'll add this: Its design is very simple. You plug it in, sit it on your counter top, lift the lid and pour in a couple mugfuls of water (there is a line to show you how much is two cups exactly).

You close the lid, and then you push down the button in front. The light goes on. When the light goes green (if memory serves; it's either that or goes off but either way it's sooo simple to figure out) the water is boiling hot. (By the way, if you are vision impaired -you can hear the water boiling, and when the sound stops you know it is ready. It is a gentle soothing 'steam' sound). Now, you just put your mug or soup bowl underneath it (there is a stand/base, and the water tank is on top of that) and push the button down.

The hot water pours out of the water tank into the soup bowl or mug. It is that simple ! And it really does take two minutes. I've tried boiling water in a microwave; it does not get hot enough. This really does the trick. The water is boiling hot but not bubbling. I never hurt myself with the temperature of this water; you will want to keep small kids away from it though, like you would with any hot water. There is no latch on the lid, so if they pulled it down off the counter the water might come out and burn them.

But that isn't likely to happen, because the cord is short. Just push it back far on the counter top. Another safety feature is, it does shut itself off once the water is done boiling. When I ignored it, I would have to boil it again but that's good; I'd rather re boil it than have it totally scalding or simmering all day.

The best part is you can use Hot Shot for many things. I made instant mashed potatoes with it, and usually just tea or hot chocolate. It is the ideal appliance for anyone in a small living area such as a dorm or studio apartment. It is even good to have in one's bedroom if you share living quarters. You could have your morning coffee or tea before facing the roommates !

If there is a downside it is that it only boils water. You can't heat soup in it but then I like it that way ! I had a hot POT in college and never used it after the first time. I hated cleaning old soup out of there ! It's much easier and neater to just boil water in the Hot SHOT and use instant soup powder in a mug.

I had the Hot Shot for a long time and it never needed cleaning inside. But there is an easy to understand user's manual with it, that explains how to clean it out if calcium deposits do settle in from the water over the years. All in all I recommend this with the highest rating. It remains one of my all time favorite small appliances for its ease of use and for its simplicity ! I used it every day ! Also it does not take up much room on the counter top.

I had a Hot Shot for many years. I never had a problem with it, and we used ours for everything. Water for tea, coffee, cocoa, instant soups and oatmeal, and other hot drink mixes. The water boils so fast that the only time I use a kettle is if I am making a pot of tea. For a couple of cups of tea, filling the Hot Shot twice is still faster!

I did find that some mugs don't fit under the dispenser, and some mugs dribble when you pour into the compartment. Also, sometimes with a mix like cocoa, when you pour the water into the cup, the inside of the cup area gets dirty. However, I solved all these problems. I got a 2 cup glass measuring cup. It fits perfectly under the dispenser, pours with no drips into the water compartment, and will leave no mess behind. Simply measure the water you need, pour it into the dispenser, dispense the water back into the measuring cup, and pour it where needed. I leave the measuring cup in the Hot Shot when not in use.

I had my Hot Shot for seven years and it worked like new until I accidentally melted the cord. If I hadn't done that, I am sure it would still be working. My new one works fine, too, and I wasn't going to buy one until I quickly remembered how long the kettle took!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Hot Shot Beverage Machine

The Sunbeam Hot Shot is the absolute best when it comes to quickly boiling water for hot chocolate, Top Ramen, coffee and tea. A cup of water boils in 45 seconds. Unlike boiling water in a microwave, the cup doesn't heat up and there is no danger of the cup exploding due to the microwaves intense heating of water. Plus, it doesn't take up any space and you can store it when not in use. This would make a great gift for the college student in the dorm or the office jockey who is too busy to leave his or her desk to make a quick cup of anything...

We were given a Sunbeam Hotshot beverage machine as a housegift possibly the first year it came on the market -anyway we've had the very same one since back in the early to mid 1980s :::

~~ It's STILL going strong -utterly and totally reliable.

~~ Actually keeps a large mugful of water hot for a decent time 'til you get around to pouring, because of the metal interior (hope this newer model still has it).

~~ No exposed element inside or out. Interior of ours has never needed cleaning (although we did treat it to a lil vinegar run maybe twice in nearly two decades!).

~~ Exterior is plastic so never any accidental finger or hand burns.

~~ GREAT for all those recipes calling for just a small amount of hot water which of course one always forgets to heat ahead of time.

~~ Low, small, tidy, fits ANYWHERE : kitchen counter or island, desktop at work, basement workbench, etc etc etc etc.

Quite a shame that we Americans have almost completely defected to those larger British-style electric water kettles, making the wonderful Hotshot VERY tough to find any more. I suppose those elec kettles are okay if you simply *must have* more than a mugful of hot water -or if you get old and forgetful like me and completely burn up your poor old traditional stovetop whistling kettle. HOWEVER, as far as we can recall, also according to our experience -the Hotshot was the first and we think still the absolute best of the "just-hot-water-nothing-else-&-fast-please" appliances on the American market.

We prob'ly better get another one here quick before it disappears off the market entirely. And if the one we have poops out, we'll just have to inform the manufacturer about what a shoddy product it was to have lasted 'only' 20 years, lolol. Hmm now I think about it though, that COULD be why it's so hard to find :: maybe it NEVER breaks or stops, no 'planned obsolescence,' so nobody really needed another one?!
