Review of MSZ-GE15NA
We purchased a ductless heat pump (Mitsubishi MSZ-D30NA) two years ago. It's cut our winter electric bill in half. We had no air conditioning before we installed this unit so our summer electric bills are a little higher depending on how hot our summers are here in the Northwest. This unit has performed flawlessly with no maintenance except for vacuuming the filters. It's so quite that we barely hear the inside unit and the outside unit is also very quite. It also has a very handy remote control. We have a 2000 sq ft one level home and this unit, with just one evaporator mounted in the family room, heats and cools the entire home except for the master bath. It's amazing the amount of heat that it puts out even in the cold winter. This unit is bigger than was recomended by the contractor. My thought was to have a higher output unit that would not have to work as hard. I could of had a smaller less expensive unit. The inside mounted evaporator is fairly large hanging on the wall near the ceiling but after a while we don't even notice it. When visitors come over they don't even notice it unless we point it out. With this 30,600 btu unit you could run 3 or 4 more inside units, say to upstairs bedrooms. This is a much less expensive way to have heat and air conditioning installed in an exesisting home that doesn't have duct work. Some public unilities offer rebates for ductless pumps.

I was very excited about this heater it looks so much nicer than anything else on the market and I had high hopes for it alleviating my gas bill by allowing me to heat only the space I needed in my apartment. It worked great for about 3 or 4 weeks.
Pros:
Max heat output is very high
Noise is minimal (my girlfriend and I could sleep with it on no problem)
Nice selection of intensity with two heat levels and an optional fan
Useful timer system we used it to heat the bedroom while we fell asleep and set it to come on an hour or so before we woke up.
Cons:
Would be nice if the cord was a bit longer. But, we live in an old house with few outlets so that may be a non-issue for most.
Unfortunately, it abruptly stopped working after only a few weeks of use. We tried to turn it on one morning and it was simply unresponsive. I would like to order a replacement, but since I have heard others complain of similar issues, I'm afraid that might be a waste of time. I am returning it for a refund (thanks to Amazon for making that a fairly simple process).
When I looked for reviews of this heater, I noticed many complaints that they simply stop working after a few weeks or months. Somewhere, I found a very helpful review from a person who explained that the reason is a fuse in the heater. That review identified the specific fuse. I don't recall where I found that specific review, but I saved the content for future reference in case our heater suddenly stops working.
Review content that identifies the potential problem:
[As another reviewer, trlinde, said in their review my heater stopped after about a month of use. I took my volt meter after it and eventually discovered that the source of the problem was a blown fuse (SF169E for those that feel adventurous). There was no outward sign that this fuse was blown but after replacing it the heater started working again. The fuse may have blown since I would run it on high often but considering trlinde's experience and what I have read about the fuse in other applications, I have to wonder if the fuse is either of poor quality or a poor component choice for this heater.
I would recommend this heater to my friends but with the caveat about the fuse.]
We did purchase one of the fuses to have on hand, just in case ours fails.
* It's long narrow design makes it convenient to tuck alongside a wall, out of the way.
* The fan is not loud or obtrusive or all, and it can be run without the fan for perfectly silent service. That is not an option on all space heaters, and was a very welcome feature on this one.
* You can choose to run both elements or just one, in addition to choosing the level of heat you want.
* It has a timer. Although I have no used this option yet, it is a nice option to have.
* It uses very little electricity, making it economical to run.
*It is very stable and sturdy; I am never concerned with it falling or being knocked over.
In comparison to other models we have had in the past, it is worth noting that this does not have any auto temperature setting. It can't be programmed to keep a room at a given temperature or to turn off when a desired temperature is reached like the DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater with Remote Control and Eco Energy Setting Gray/Black we have used in the past.
UPDATE: We were very happy with this heater, but it abruptly died after only a couple months of use for no apparent reason. Couldn't figure out why it up and died, and had no luck reviving it, so I won't be buying another!
The first thing I noted when I got this heating element out was its sleek, slim design. I love the fact that it can fit into narrow crevices. I was also impressed with the fact that setup required merely screwing on two legs ... that is until I actually got out my screwdriver and discovered the illogical location of the screw holes. The screws are very small and the lower vents are located right next to them. So yep, you guessed it. ... While I was trying to place the screw in its hole, it slipped and fell in the vent. Fortunately, by turning the heater upside-down I was able to get it back out, but not before cursing it under my breath. The next frustration came from the fact that the screw holes weren't exactly the right size for the screws. You'll have to use some manual strength to get them in, but upon further reflection, I prefer tight holes over too loose ones, so no points deducted there.
Now the real test was turning it on. I live in a large, old home that is not well insulated. I'm always cold. I thought this would be the perfect addition to my home office. Alas, the heater does not throw much heat, even on the highest setting. Granted, the room I'm using it in is on the larger side (about 400 square feet), but that doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask of a 1500-watt heater. My other space heaters do just as well if not better of a job and were all much cheaper. In all fairness, though, this one is whisper soft in comparison to those other heaters I own. It also comes with a built-in timer, nifty, but given that the heater doesn't ever get hot, I don't foresee myself really taking advantage of that feature.
Another plus is that my old electrical wiring handled this heater just fine--no frustrating flipped circuit breakers. It also comes with a two-prong plug, a godsend for older homes that lack grounded outlets.
Bottom line: Probably a good bet for small rooms (250 square feet or less) or as a supplemental heating element in rooms that are already a comfortable temperature. Not recommended for large rooms or as a sole heating source.
Updated February 2013: Alas, less than two months into using this heater, it no longer works. I thought I was one of the lucky ones, but I tried to turn it on one morning and got nothing. The price of this heater was a bit steep to begin with, but when multiple users are getting only weeks to 1.5 months of use out of it before it dies, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The heater we received was also black, not red. We have used it to warm up the master bathroom prior to showering and it worked great. We've had an older, small ceramic space heater for many years that cost less and works fine, but lacks the temperature control and timer aspects that this heater has. The ceramic heater also makes more noise than this heater does.When I looked for reviews of this heater, I noticed many complaints that they simply stop working after a few weeks or months.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First off, upon opening the box, I encountered a surprise. I received a black heater as opposed to the red one I thought I'd be getting.

Very well built unit and spreads heat properly in our small bathroom. It installed easily and the price was less than I had expected.
In my opinion (contrast to some other reviewers) it blows more hot air more quickly than the original part and it doesn't seem louder.

As others have written this is a newer design than the old plastic scroll heaters but it fits into the existing housing of the older Nutone models listed. The installation is straightforward you just have to get the small screw into the side hole to hold it in place.In my opinion (contrast to some other reviewers) it blows more hot air more quickly than the original part and it doesn't seem louder.

Excellent Heater. I installed one in bathroom about 8 years ago. Heater still works great. Thermostat is fairly consistant. Must be cleaned regularly. That is the secret to keeping it working satisfactorily.
It is easy to access the wiring and to take out the innards so that you have access to mount the box in different ways (not all installations are new construction as you may know!). This also makes it easy to service it and I was happy that it came with a parts diagram, always a good sign.
I found it to be a good and thoughtful design for a decent price. It is recommended.
This heater fan is an exact match to its decades old product.
It fit the existing opening within a sixteenth of an inch.
However if you are looking for an improved product, this is not it.
It has the same loud fan noise as the old one.
It will require the same periodic cleaning to keep it running.
It will need to be removed annually to be cleaned and oiled.
For the price it is a good product and will last ten to fifteen years, but if want a quiet heater, pay moe and buy a unit with a better fan.

Started out by replacing a toilet and ended up with a new floor and a new heater. And other things. The Nautilus was a good style and fit for what I was dealing with. It is quiet and provides more than enough heat for any bathroom.

List Price: $224.95

This is a great item if you want to get started with making your own Kombucha. It contains all the things you need including clear instructions and support from KKamp. Once I started with this, I regularly bottle 8 16oz bottles every three or four days. Its effortless, and because you can fill bottles right from the spout, it's even easier.
It was fairly easy to put together, you just need a screw driver to bolt the legs, but the trickiest part to me was the spout. Once I figured it out it was a snap.
Do get this kit if you can, the heater was very helpful starting mine in March in California. It can be pretty cold that time of the year. The only thing I would change if I could would be to upgrade to a heater with a thermostat. I have to plug and unplug with the weather changes.
You won't be disappointed with this great combo.
