This is my third tankless hot water heater. Absolutely loved the first two. This one, however, has limitations I've never seen: maximum hot water temperature setting is 120 degrees. Living in SE Alaska, I need really hot water. I was pleased with the shower temperature, but for washing dishes, the water is just not hot enough. It never gets hot enough that you can't stick your hands in it. Put it into a dish basin/sink, however, and it's rapidly tepid. I never expected to have to heat hot water on the stove to wash my dishes having spent over $1000 (with required piping/plumbing) on this. I'd need at least another 20-30 degrees in temperature for adequately hot water for dish washing. My previous 2 tankless systems had plenty of hot water, and the ability to set the temperatures appropriately; the limitation on this one makes it sub-par, to say the least. If you live in a cold winter climate, such as the northern US, I'd try to find a different system if I were you.

The water heater stopped working on a Saturday after 7 months.

Called customer service, was told the replacement parts will be sent out the next Monday, and arrive on early Tuesday morning. Well, once the package arrived Tuesday afternoon, it turned out Rheem sent out only 1 part, missing the other part that was promised to be sent out in the beginning! I was told to wait for two more days for the other part to arrive, and the contractor will come to fix the problem only after the parts have arrived. Horrible customer service, can't believe they messed up such an easy task, and keep my family suffering from no hot water in the house.

The reason I give 2 star instead of 1 star is that when it works, the water heater works great.

Honest reviews on Stainless Steel 12 Volts Heating Travel Mug - Available in Red

We often travel between two homes (270 miles). We leave early in the morning and my husband likes hot coffee. The first time he used this mug the coffee was too hot so he unplugged it. He was pleasantly surprised that the coffee remained acceptably hot due to its construction and insualtion. He went to use it a few days later and it didn't work. Don't know if the mug was defective making the coffee extremely hot and possibly rendering it unfunctional.

This recently happened and haven't looked into sending it back, yet.

For the price, this may be one of the best. Good construction, fits and balances well in hand. I've used it in the car only, not plugged into a computer USB port, and the only drawback so far is that it doesn't keep your beverage good and hot. My guess is it keeps the temp at about 120 deg.F whereas I would like it kept at about 140.

This Lifesmart heater is a good buy for me and I own just about every different type of space heater available. To start, don't expect it to heat 1200 sq ft, and don't expect the wood finish to be outstanding. The wood finish is not bad, but if viewed in direct sunlight you can see all the imperfections in the wood, though acceptable but not for a picky person. You can always refinish the wood, or darken the stain, so it does not bother me. The buttons make a beep sound when pushed, this could wake up the baby. The thermostat when cycling off and on make a faint clicking sound, this could also potentially wake up the baby.

Now for the good stuff. It is a super solid unit with nice smooth casters for rolling, weighs in over 40 pounds. The electronics are really nice, the thermostat has a 2 degree F. range. If you set it at 67, the temperature will go from 65-67, shutoff at 67 and then turn back on at 65. When it shuts off, the fan continues to push residual heat, the fan does not shut off.

I have a killowatt tester. On low it uses 940 watts, on high it uses 1360 watts, the fan alone uses 32 watts. Don't let the low scare you because the on off cycles can turn it to 500 watts or less.

It seems to push a lot of heat. I was expecting to feel the warmth of the infrared like a typical infrared heater. For some reason I could not feel the infrared, maybe most of it gets soaked up with the copper, but some must also come out. Maybe just not enough to be plainly noticeable.

I was originally thinking this would save me by taking over some work from the furnace. Instead it is saving me in a different manner. It is not powerful enough to heat my main area. I have a 4000 sq ft home. I found it works much better in our bedroom. We were using a space heater on high 1500 watts all night to supplement the furnace. I can keep this Lifesmart on low and set the digital thermostat and it cycles on and off and it does the job using under 500 watts. My calculations are at about a $50 savings per month using it in this manner. Just because it worked out for me, it does not mean it will work out for you. I was originally disappointed that it did not help the furnace with my main living area and was disappointed I did not feel the infrared. I was thinking it was a bad buy and no real use for it. Then I started trying to figure where it might work better, and am satisfied now.

One test I did, I took my next best heaters, a new model Lasko Cyclonic Ceramic Heater 5840 and a Lasko 5812. On a cold night near 0 night, I set it to 3 degrees above the rest of the house, and the most they could do after hours on high is 2 degrees above. I then took the Lifesmart and set it at 4 degrees above, and to top that off I set it on low. In 10 minutes it hit a degree warmer than the other 2 heaters could do in hours of work. So it is doing something, that's for sure. It is just not readily apparent as I would like it to be. I wanted to feel sunshine type heat. I didn't get the infrared feel. I am still very happy with the buy. I figure it should be free in 4 months of operation with the savings. I will recommend this to anyone who is not too picky on the wood finish. This ended up being my best space heater.

This heater works as advertised. I have had it more than a month so the electric bill came in and met my expectations. I turned down my 3500 sq.ft. home central heat from 71F to 69F. No use heating the entire house with all the kids gone. I use this heater for my bedroom during the night and set it for 73F. It brings the room to approximately 71F and turns off. Then it comes on for a minute for two every 15 minutes to maintain the temperature. I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a Digital Electrical Usage Tester to see how much power this heater is actually using. Turns out it uses 1350 Watts, 114 volts, and 11.8 Amps. If it stayed on all night this would be a energy hog, but since it only comes on approximately 4 times per hour, for a minute each time, the energy use is much less than my central air. Therefore my energy use went down for this past month since turning down my central heat and using this heater to heat my bedroom. Overall it met my expectations. Only one thing I had not anticipated is the smell of new wood and glue the first two weeks as the heater broke in.

I bought this heater, exact one for 170 shipped off a seller on ebay. This product works so well in my apartment (1000 sf) that we use it as our only source of heat. The built in heater that came with the unit was costing me 70 dollars in gas bills and up a month to heat the apartment in the winter. I was fed up with paying so much for the bill that I decided to take the plunge and buy this... I keep the unit on Low all day and all night. The unit peridocly shuts on and off (approx 1-2 min every 40-60 minutes) to cycle the heat around the house when the temperature dips below the degree listed on the face of the heater. Right now it is 40 degrees outside and my house is a comfy 72 (listed on the home thermostat, when the lifesmart heater is listed at 72). My new bill for electricity cost me compared to the previous month (no heater) only 10 dollars more, likewise my gas bill went down 70 dollars as compared to the previous month with the apartment heater on. Overall a really great product.

This Lifesmart heater caught on fire in the middle of the night. There were actual flames coming out of it. It was sitting alone with nothing around it within 3 feet. We drug it outside and put the flames out with a hose. It thankfully did not hurt anyone since the smoke alarm alerted us to the situation. It did cause smoke smell damage that is still present. The manufacturer was contacted and they wanted to replace it with a lessor type heater ($99.99) and offered $50.00 for the damage. They stated that in 99% of the time that this happens (does it happen frequently?) it is the outlet that is the problem. This particular outlet is functioning fine and there is no damage to it. The fire started inside of the unit, not at the outlet. The house has to be repainted and the furniture cleaned which will cost much more than $50.00. This has been an unacceptable suggested resolution from this company. I would not recommend this heater simply because of the manufacturer's statement that "when this happens" which tells me that we are not the first customer to experience this. If it was a first time occurrence and they were responsive that would be one thing. This sounded like it was just another incident.

Reviews of Teavana Zojirushi Gray Water Heater & Hot Water Dispenser

This has the great quality that Zojirushi is known for. If you are looking for a good, well-made hot pot and boiler this is a great choice. Has a melody alarm to alert you when the water has boiled; you can select different temperatures to have it hold at, it has a slow dispense mode for brewing coffee using a single brew cone (coffee snobs might think it flows a bit too fast to allow for proper brewing), stainless steel means easy clean ups and with the magnetic cord, it is easy to plug/unplug and get the pot filled with water. It just works. Would definitely recommend. I purchased another one for my office.

List Price: $1,499.99
Sale Price: $1,294.23

I did extensive research on many brands of wood stove before we made a purchase. Long story shortthe chimney pipe and hearth were so costly that we were unable to purchase a more expensive stove. Tractor Supply has this model with the pedestal legs for $899. At TSC this model is called the "Magnolia". We have used the stove for several months now and here are a few observations:

1. It does put out a LOT of heat. Make sure the area you put it is large.

2. The air wash feature on the glass functions beautifully unless the fire is fully damped and then the corners get a bit dirty.

3. The blower on the back is loud. The variable speed function works poorly. It does push hot air nicely when the stove is heated.

4. The damper rod is a pull out vs a left/right slide making it difficult to "dial in" the damper where it works best.

5. The fire board in the top inside of the stove that redirects gasses is fragile. My wife cracked it in half the first week we had the stove.

6. It seems like 6 hours is about the best reasonable burn time we have gotten unless it is packed with wood and fully damped. (This is not reccomended)

7. The door latch and hinge hardware seems a bit weak. I will probably buy a few spares so I can have them when I need them.

8. I don't entirely understand the new wood stove science, but it seems like the firebox has to be pretty hot before there is any visible secondary burn of exaust gasses. (this can be viewed by fire coming from the little holes in the tubes that line the top of the firebox as spent gasses are reheated to burn)

9. Rear corner clearance from the wall for a corner of the room installation was 10 1/2 in. without any secondary protection. I followed that guidance with my install. When a decent fire is going the wall is so hot that I cant hold my hand against it for more than about a second. It's HOT!

10. FYI this stove calls for 26 in. of hearth in front of the stove. Most call for only 18 in. What this means to you is that to "pass code" for the building inspector you will need a bigger hearth. If you are installing the stove in the middle of the wall there are several modular DIY products that can accomplish this effectively and cheaply. HOWEVER if you are installing this in the corner you will be looking at a custom made hearth pad. I had 3 quotes with the cheapest one being $780. I ended up using 3 layers of Durarock to reach the appropriate R value on the floor and then finished it with tile. It was a lot of work but it only set me back $280 in materials.

We bought the stove for regular use to heat our 2600 sq. ft cape cod. In some ways I wish we had purchased a stove with more quality features and higher efficiency. This model only is rated at 68 to 73%. Many non catalytic stoves nowadays are 80% 90%. That's a lot of wood savings! Overall, its not a Harmon or Jotul but it is a pretty good value I think.

We bought the model 3000, the next model larger than the 2500. The 2500 and 3000 stoves look pretty much alike.

The quality of the workmanship is not as good as we had hoped for a US manufacturer.

1) When we unpacked the stove, we noticed that firerope (sealing the door) was unravelling. That should have been fixed before it left the factory.

2) When attempting to install the trim that goes around the base of the unit, we found that one of the pieces was defective because it was not pre-drilled for the screws that are intended to hold it together. I had to drill out that piece myself in order to continue the installation.

3) The metal that the trim pieces are made of appears to be about as hard as the metal the self-tapping screws included are made of. This means that during installation of the trim, when you attempt to tap the pre-drilled holes with the screws, the screws will strip (see other reviews for the same problem). One of the screws did manage to catch in the metal of the trim, but the screw head broke off. Ugh! I had to GLUE the pieces together. I spent HOURS fighting the trim.

US Stove should pay attention to the reviews and fix the QC problems. Luckily, we purchased the stove through 123Greetings and their customer service is outstanding.

We would had given the stove four or maybe five stars, but the attention to quality is lacking, so three stars is fair.

The heat output seems to be good since it is pretty much heating our 6,000 sq ft house (partly, though, because we built the home to take advantage of wood heat).

The stove's door opening is smaller than it could be, making it more difficult to load than it should be.

As at least one other review states, the air-driven glass-cleaning design works well unless the air is damped way down. This is my experience with other stoves as well, though, so is a common issue.

We like the flat top for heating water or for cooking. This was one of the features we looked for.

The blower is noisy and REALLY weak. You can barely even feel the warm air coming out. We use a different fan that we have blowing over the top of the unit to increase the efficiency of heat transfer. Over the decades, we have had numerous other stoves and inserts with fans and this fan is by far the worst. We lump this issue with quality problems.

Next time we will probably try another brand simply because there are some very nice units out there with proven quality.

UPDATE: 2/8/2013.

We discovered another design flaw in the unit. The firebox has an cast iron plug that can be lifted out to allow you to clean out the ashes. You simply lift the plug then brush the ashes into the hole. The ashes drop down into the drawer below. The PROBLEM with this is that the clean-out hole is near the left-hand side of the drawer. Every time we clean out the ash, they spill out over the side of the drawer into the unit below. They could easily have avoided this issue by CENTERING the clean-out hole over the drawer. We can't figure out WHY they would make the hole near the SIDE of the drawer instead of in the center.

The stove is generally performing fairly well, over all, with respect to staying together while burning North Idaho Energy Logs (which are MUCH better than regular firewood since they burn hotter and longer).

The front door did become stuck at one point due to the expansion of the metal. We had to pry it open with a tool and then use a grinder to remove some metal near the latch in order to get the door to open and close properly. This was another small quality issue, it looks like. We think this problem was a result of the extreme heat generated by the North Idaho Energy Logs. Previously, we were burning regular oak and maple firewood, but recently switched entirely to the Energy Logs and then experienced the door issue. The Energy Logs burn substantially hotter than regular firewood and likely caused unusual expansion of the metal, resulting in the misalignment.

We bought this model at Lowe's (which matched a lower price we found elsewhere) and have been extremely happy with it. It heats our 1700-foot house very efficiently. We find we don't need to use the blower at this time, but were glad it was included in case we do. We found the construction was also fine no problem like the other reviewer noted on the different model. We shopped around for a good price with good quality and thus far we have been extremely satisfied. We plan on getting a stovepipe thermometer to further increase efficiency.

The overall quality of my experience with both a pellet and then a wood stove from US Stove is that they are simply poorly made and that the company makes a great deal of money off of the price of their parts. And you have to watch to make sure that the stove you order hasn't been "gobbled up" by the giant that calls itself "US Stove". They may make stoves but I got burned in a different way than expected. Heck, robbed is more like it.

Three things though. First, it really needs to be thoroughly cleaned each time it's emptied. Second, the warmer doesn't penetrate far enough into the dispensing unit, so I have a full week of cold lotion application to use what's in the bottom so I can get it emptied and cleaned. Finally, I've used it so much that it finally quit working, so I went online to buy another. Holy Cow this thing is expensive!! I'll try a little harder the fix the other one, but will most certainly be buying another one if I can't.

The first time I encountered a salt lamp was in a local day spa that features therapeutic massages. The warm, glowing product captured my interest and curiosity. That particular salt lamp at the spa was big, though,--a sphere kind of like something from a Harry Potter movie--LOL! The salt sphere was costing over $100, so it was beyond my budget at the time. My curiosity led to me Amazon to see if I could find a smaller, more affordable one. To my joy, I found that Amazon had various opportunities for a product like this, but to my worry, there seemed to be some negativity / problems about certain groups of products. I read all the mixed reviews from various products, including the horror stories where people had received defective, damaged lamps and beat up boxes. After landing on this product's page and mulling it over for a day or two, I decided to try the product...for better or worse. I clicked checkout, and I didn't set my expectations too high. So, the day came, and the product arrived in a nice, clean sturdy outer box with plastic air bags as internal cushions. The product was heavy, but its personal box inside the shipping box was in pristine condition---no bangs, dents, scraps, etc. My heart lifted! So, I carefully opened that outer box and encountered a white innerbox, then at last, the product in carefully arranged, secure bubble wrap. It was quite obviously new---not some display product that had been in someone's shop and stuffed in a box at the last minute for shipping. I did NOT see any broken pieces, shards, dust, or broken bulb! (The bulb was included; some reviewers had stated they had received the product with no bulb.) Also, one of the best things for me: no upfront assembly was required! :) Once the lamp was free from packing materials, it was ready to go! I flipped the generous-sized switch and received the beauty, magic, and joy a salt lamp promised to offer.

In my experience with this WBM International product, everything was in perfect order--better than expected actually, and the product even came with a helpful little user manual that discusses the following: 1) Product Features; 2) Benefits; 3) Locations for Usage; 4) FAQ section; 5) Safety Instructions & Handling; 6) Operating Instructions and maintenance; 7) How to Change Bulb when needed / what type of replacement bulb to use; and 8) company contact information. I suggest that everyone read this information thoroughly before using the lamp!

One of the FAQ questions caught my eye, and I thought it was interesting information to pass along to potential buyers: "What size should an Ionic Salt Lamp be to give the best results?" The answer was given with some examples in a little grid, but here, I will give you some of the information as text. Quoted from User Manual: "A rough rule of thumb is 1 pound for every 10 square feet." / For optimal results in large rooms, several lamps should be strategically placed throughout the room." Examples:Room: Office Cubicle; lamp size needed, 4-8lbs. Room Size: 10' x 20'; lamp size needed, 16-23lbs **

**You should be aware, though, that some people believe such products' health benefits to be an outright hoax / scam from specified source, and googling salt lamp scams can be very interesting reading for those that like to delve into more research and debates, You get to see people that swear by them and people who believe its all bunk--with everything in between. It can be really difficult to decide who to believe and why! LOL :)

Health Happy product or Hoax--it's still an interesting, unusual lamp to me. The whole product is really earthy and natural looking, and if someone didn't like earthy and natural, he / she may not like this product. People who like smooth, "elegant" products and no jagged edges may not like this product. I, however, was pleased with the unique, somewhat egg shape of my lamp. I find its peaks and valleys to be most distinctive and interesting.

From my view, the light's color is rather like a happy, warm orange that rather glows like embers in the fireplace. I cannot speak to its actual ionic health properties and / or as scam folks would say, the "lack there of." I believe that determination comes with more use and time and what people wish to research and believe or disbelieve as the case may be. However, in my home, this strange lamp comforts through its glow and appearance. It inspires creativity, conversation, and humor--really, its hard to be so miserable and serious around a lamp made of a large lump of salt! LOL I feel most blessed to have received a quality, intact product, and it is my wish that others receive the same quality and satisfaction with the Salt Lamp as I have. My advise is to read product reviews and informational articles first before you buy---especially with certain manufacturers as well as certain types of electrical chords / bases. Be safety concerned for you and yours as apparently there are a lot of inferior products in this category from certain providers / sellers! Be sure to look at SELLER reviews / ratings also. [I suspect the seller / manufacturers makes a notable difference between receiving quality and a box of junk --scams, crams, and otherwise.] A visit to the WBM International website can give you specific product details as it relates to uses for their products like the one on this page, its benefits, and even its alleged healing. Sometimes, with healing and comfort, attitude and belief are everything! If you believe something is positive in your life and helpful, then maybe in many cases that something is! :) Everyone's experiences are different.

This is a lamp to rest or relax by, not to read by. As with any electrical product, exercise caution AND good sense, especially when changing the bulb or working with the cord. I personally would be mindful about putting this around small children or pets who might grab or bump it--potentially hurting themselves or the lamp. To help other buyers, I have added some images of the box I received. One of the panels confirms the UL listing. // I purchased the "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" option, and my salt lamp is from WBM. [There seems to be at least one competing product from Ancient Secrets and Tiger Dive!] Again read choices and reviews carefully!

Before I realized they were sold here, I bought one on clearance at the Vitamin Shoppe (50% off retail). My personal experience is that they are very nice-looking (IMHO) and since I bought mine with positive intentions, I am reminded of that, when I turn it on. I use it in my bedroom, on a wooden dresser (no issues with moisture or flaking, but I have had to replace the bulb once within the 6 months I've owned it). I've used it in two homes now, and really like the "decor" effect it gave, in both. Currently, there are bright lights outside my bedroom window, which cast unpleasant shadows around my room at night. I haven't yet gotten shades, but I do use the lamp while I'm sleeping, which eliminates these shadows as I fall asleep, or if I wake up in the night ('cause there's some light inside the room, now). If you're a 'conscious-shopper', and the production/procurement/distribution methods affect your buying choices, that might be another thing to consider, as I don't know how these lamps come into being. I have seen some brands tout their fair-tradey-ness, so if you're concerned about that, I'm thinking there may be a number of options. I'm generally an open-minded skeptic, who finds all this new-agey "stuff" interesting enough to research, or at least look into. These lamps may have the ability to ionize/purify/filter, but I can't prove that, in my personal experience. I do know that I like how it looks (on & off), I often feel better/calmer when I have it on (who knows why?!), it is a good reminder for those positive intentions, as well as a 'signal' that it's time to relax and get ready for bed (I think that can be proven via stimulus/response), the price (for mine) was right, and, when I bought it, I needed a lower-light lamp, anyway. So, if any part of my experience resonates with your needs, and if you can afford to take the risk that you may really just be buying a dim lamp, then it may be a worthy purchase, as at least THIS new-agey item does have one scientifically-proven function.

I rely on reviews here at Amazon, to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You!

Honest reviews on WBM Himalayan Light #1002 Natural Air Purifying Himalayan Salt Lamp

I bought two of these Salt Lamps.... Within days the electric went on one of them. Amazon replaced it.. Now 2 1/2 months later, another lamps electric is defective. The first one I believe was just a faulty electric on/off (rotation) switch.

But this one now appears to be a faulty design with these lamps.

I took this apart and the electric bulb holder was loaded with salt that apparently had loosened up from the lamp because of the heat and moisture. I cleaned it and replaced the bulb from my other lamp, but it will not work. There should be something covering the bulb and bulb holder to prevent the salt from getting all over it..

Also good to know, both of my lamps drip a lot of water on to the furniture they are on.. I've placed a dish under both of them, but the danger is the cord ends up sitting in the water as the water now collects in the dish! Not a good idea me thinks!

These lamps are a good idea. they give out a nice light, but the electric portion of this lamp is destined to fail as the salt falls down on the bulb and holder and the cord sitting in the water.. And it is dangerous that the lamp cord ends up sitting in water collect is the dish placed under the lamp.

I would strongly suggest to anyone using these lamps to place a dish under the lamp and empty it daily. I would also suggest you take the bottom of the unit (electric) off the lamp weekly and clean out any salt near the bulb..

I now have more info and concerns about these lamps... As I explained in my initial review, these lamps gather moisture from the air and will make your furniture wet, very wet. Placing a saucer under the lamp is supposed to protect your furniture, the only problem is the water gathers in the saucer and the lamp cord is sitting in the water, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!

Well now I have found with the lamp plugged in, but the light not turned on, this salt lamp still collects a lot of water in the saucer, thus allowing the plugged in cord again to be sitting in water!! I can not express how DANGEROUS this is!

I have removed the electrical part of the Lamp, placed the Salt part on my kitchen counters and again, water is all over the counters... This time the electric was not plugged in, but I am amazed how much moisture these salt lamps collect from the air! Certainly most people buy these lamps to use the light, doing so puts every user in danger. The cord comes out of the lamp on the bottom, and this is where the water gathers in the saucer... Any lamp plugged in while the cord is sitting in water is HIGHLY DANGEROUS for electrocuting someone!

PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THESE LAMPs!

perfect gift. Creates romantic atmosphere, healthy, pretty. i bought it as a gift for my husb. He wanted it for so long,now he got it and he is happy.

The quality is good. I mean what would you expect from a piece of natural salt? It's a little bit chalky on the surface, but as soon as the outer layer comes to its shape and small crumbs are removed, it does not crumble.

the wooden coaster is fair. You hardly can spot it perfect fit to the shape of the salt block.

The product is pretty much as described.

the only thing is that the bulb is so tiny little... it does not create any significant light, but gives nice and soft radiance. We leave it on all night and it does not disturb our sleep.

The color of the lamp is exactly as shown on the picture bright orange to terracotta.

We purchased the New Comfort ES1500 heater to help supplement our propane heater in a very cold/drafty house. This is our first winter in this big old farm house in NW Wisconsin and even though we haven't experienced our normal cold temps, this house can get very cold.

We put the heater in the kitchen because it was always much colder in that room. We set the heater at 68 degrees during the day and 63 degrees at night. On the days we average 25+ degrees during the day, the heater manages to, at times, reach the 68 degrees..although it usually averages about 65 degrees. When we had our cold spell (below zero) the heater struggled to keep the kitchen at 60 degrees, usually only managing 56-58 degrees. Granted, our kitchen isn't blocked off from the living room or bathroom, but there are heat ducts in those areas also.

The great upside to owning this heater is the propane savings. We were going through $500 a month in heat costs, but with the heater our propane consumption has decreased by at least 25%. It is cheaper to pay an increase in electric than shell out another $500.

So, with all that said, I would buy this product again. I don't believe it can heat 1000 feet, but it does help. If you live in a warmer climate, or have a better insulated house, it just might do everything it claims.

Safe, works great, keeps me warm on very hard cold nights an days.

Best for energy , even has a energy selection!

Safest ever for RV's , surface does not get hot, blower up higher for function of air flow!

Just do not cover up plug & wires and leave open area for air flow in rear.

Now you have a wonderful product, I just can't wait till you make it look like a fireplace! I wanted one but saw these spec's, always read Spec'! This solld me, Safety is my concern!

Received last year Decided half way through the year it wasn't going to work anymore Says "alarm 1" Will not work and cannot find any info or get any answers as to what the alarm is for or how to fix it. Seems to me if you are going have that type of warning there should be some sort of list of what the alarms are but nothing. So for a good price I got a heater that lasted half a winter Not impressed

It will heat a 14 by 20 foot room with no other heat source but just moderately and will run all the time. used for one season and it still works so that is a plus.

I have had this unit since Dec. 2012 and has been working great

And performs as promised. I have not had any programming issues with setting the digital thermostat and love the fact that it programs just like the house thermostat with the weekdays and weekend options along with the wake, leave, return, and sleep time frames. The tempature settings in our case had to be set lower than we would set the house thermostat because it was making the room too warm; the is only 300 sq feet but is a converted garage with no duct work. We bought a 2nd unit a few weeks later for added heat in the kids room. Both units since programming them have been a "set it and forget it". Another feature I like is there is a temporary override to the programmed settings, so when its extra cold weather outside you can adjust thd temperature without changing your programmed temperatue settings.

I thought that this would be a simple cheap heater. I paid $36 but I think $10 is the price I would feel comfortable paying. It is very low power, doesn't rotate, settings are confusing. I would not recommend this heater to anyone.

Buy Celiera 9000 BTU Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner + Heat Pump

Customer Ratings:

I am a Master Commercial HVACRefrigeration Mechanic .To be honest after I saw the price I said to myself why not ,this kit includes every thing except a vacuum pump and a pair of refrigeration gauges .I installed this unit in five hours .I inspected the high build quality of the cabinet,compressor,indoor fan coil unit ,set outside unit and wired up power supply from the house connected refrigerant lines to wall unit and the control wires are already connected to indoor unit so you will just need to secure them to refrigerant lines with the zip ties that are included and duct tape to the outdoor unit tightened all fittings hooked up the vacuum pump checked for leaks powered up the unit with the High quality long range remote and it cranked up without a flaw it cools a 13x18 remodeled sun room .The unit is very quiet ,the only thing about the instructions has the temperature measurement in celsius but you can convert it and I would recommend to vacuum the system down not to purge the system the secret to a long lasting system is a proper install and thats part of the job ,Over all compared to the Major manufacturers Its an equal to the big boys on quality.

I found out what the problem was with this unit I hired a second tech and he showed me where the freon had leaked out of. then he vacuumed the pressure and tried to recharge the outside unit with refrigerant and sure enough it leaked out of where showed me.

This is very inconvenient for my business' opening day

another thing wrong with the system was a thermo sensor he told me it is used for the heat pump.

*also this unit is not whisper quiet like advertised*.

extremely disappointed by amazon for the first time because now i have to go through the hassle of uninstalling this AC, Box it up and ship it back!

I have 3 mini-splits, 2 LG and this off brand. It has brand name components inside and Chinese cabinet outside. It works flawlessly

in all modes. For longevity I would suggest having a tech draw a vacuum rather than bleeding system before 1st start up.

Very easy to install, extremely quiet, and cools very well. Needed an adapter to pull vacuum, but after that, no problems.

I did a remodeling project; turning a shed into a bedroom. Because this new bedroom is somehow separated from my main house the only way to get heating and cooling system for it is through a new split unit system. I searched everywhere (believe me, I have spent hours and hours of searching) until I came upon this product and it's the best in price and value. The unit was successfully installed with no problems whatsoever. I asked the HVAC specialist who installed this unit what he thinks about the unit (being not of a famous brand) he said basically they are all the same and I bet this unit will work as good as the famous brand names. It makes me feel happy to hear that from a specialist. I have not used it as a heater, but so far the units functions perfectly as a cooling system. Can't be happier!
