The Dimplex Lincoln Bronze Feestanding Electric Stove is really nice. It shipped on time, no assembly required, no problems. Just plugged it in and turned it on. I love the bronze color. It does produce a warm heat for a small room, as advertised. Ours is outside on an enclosed porch. We are in Florida and on a cool night (50 degrees) it helps get the chill out of the air. I especially like the sturdiness and the realistic flames. The door opens and it looks real but is cool to the touch ... good for our granddaughter. Also, a plus, is you can choose heat or no heat with the flame. We got it on sale for $150 and the shipping was an additional $65. Still, it is hundreds less than at our local hardware store ...$400+. We have no complaints. As a matter of fact, I was looking to buy another one because my mother and father fell in love with it over the holidays, but it is now over $220 on amazon ... plus shipping. So, I am shopping around or waiting for this to go on sale again. Only one suggestion ... measure your area and look at the size of this. It is not big. I was hoping for a larger unit and just didn't take time to look carefully at the dimensions.

I purchased this firplace for my bedroom. Love the bronze finish, beautiful little fireplace ! Purchased the Dimplex Celeste cream colored stove for my living room. Both are quality made stoves. About a 30 dollar difference in my electric bill. You cant go wrong with Dimplex. Amazon had the best prices !!

Honest reviews on Dimplex North America DS5629BR Traditional Electric Stove, Bronze

We bought this stove for supplemental heat in our sun room. It is a nice looking stove, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped generating heat. The owners manual states that if the unit overheats, it will shut down, and to reset the stove by turning it off for 5 minutes and turn it back on. If the problem persists, call Dimplex Customer Service. I don't see how it could have overheated, but I tried that and it didn't work.

The problem is Customer Service is only open 8:00 to 4:30 EST, Monday thru Friday, and when you call you get put on hold for the "next available technical service representative". I was on hold for over an hour twice and never got closer than caller number 11. The number went down by one about every 10 minutes. So either no one is answering the phone and the number went down as others in front of me gave up, or they are woefully understaffed.

I understand that problems happen. That's okay if the company stands behind their product and makes it right. It's obvious that customer service is not a priority at Dimplex. If that's important to you, I would not recommend buying any Dimplex product.

I purchased both the cream colored and the white colored version of this product (Intermatic FD15MWC 15-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White). Oddly, while both versions come from Amazon.com, the cream colored version costs a bit more even though it is identical excepting the color of the plastic. I have a more extensive review for the white version (with installation hints) so I won't repeat it here. Suffice it to say, this is a 5-star solution for getting your bathroom vent fan to run for a timed period, then shut off. A spring powered device may be low tech, but it would take a rather elaborate (and expensive) solid state device to outperform this one.

Perfect for bathroom fans and bathroom heaters. Perfect for rental units where the landlord pays the bills. Perfect for bathrooms where the significant other forgets to turn off the heater/light/fan after they're done. The spring holds up better than other similar models. I had a cheap off-brand that went out after 3 years, it's just stuck in the on-position. That's why I get these now. They are basically the standard.

Hope that helps.

I bought the mechanical 15 minute timer because I wanted to control a 12-volt application. Unlike many of the digital wall timers out now, this one does not require 120V to operate. Works perfectly. Not much else to say!

We searched everywhere locally and couldn't find a timer shorter than 60 minutes. I searched here and found this, in the right color for our walls as well. Installed quickly and it works beautifully with the shortest timer we could find: 15 min. We're very happy with it.

This heater ( or very similar from Patton) seems to have been around for a very long time. My father who is 96 actually did use this heater in the milk-house. Besides the nostalgia factor this heater does a good job for what it is designed to do, which is to put out safe heat. Not the prettiest, or quietest, probably not for your living room, but great for a smaller space, basement or garage. Here in Minneapolis where it is -2 degrees outside as I am writing this review, this little heater will take the edge off.

This is my 4th milkhouse heater in 12 years. I use my heater daily almost 9 months out of the year. I love them for heating up a small room quickly and safely. The only complaint on this new version is that there is no OFF button. It is always on with the button lit up. Unplugging and plugging it in is a pain. But it saves on the energy bill and so I do it.

I've had this heater for two years now. It warms up the room well as you would expect, but is quite noisy when it is on.

However, the biggest problem I have with it is its poorly built construction. The heating and fan mechanism is riveted onto the frame instead of screwed on. That may be good and well, but if it gets knocked over a few times, the rivets become loose. There's no way to fix them! Thus, the heating mechanism is dangling inside the case with no easy solution other than returning it for replacement in warranty. If it had been screwed in, it would simply be a matter of tightening or replacing the screws.

This is especially disappointing because this is supposed to be a utility fan. One expects that a utility fan could be a little more durable than other types of fans. But when the rivets break after its knocked over, it becomes dangerous.

Honest reviews on Patton PUH680-U Milk-House 1000/1500 Watt Utility Heater

What prompted me to write this review was my purchase of a duraflame electric heater of similar wattage to the old milkhouse holmes branded unit a friend gave to me. Even though the two units claim similar heat output. The milkhouse heater really kicks out the heat compared with the duraflame $75 model. The duraflame is much more aesthetically appealing but cannot match the raw heat output of this unit. This unit will put out the most heat for your dollar cost. I have also purchased the plastic holmes units similar to this model and they are still not the same heat output. Just wanted to clarify for amazon customers that if you want heat buy this unit if you want fancy or pretty buy others.

This is the best small electric heater I have found--and I have used a lot of electric floor heaters. It is easy to use-uncomplicated. It turns off if you tip it over so it is safe. It doesn't overheat and turn itself off like many others. It seems to have a feature that causes it just to not overheat. I have left it on all night with no problems.

Not a great review.

Mine broke within the first few hours. The thermal cutoff switch kept tripping. Everything checked out (airflow, clearance, voltage, etc), so we suspected it was just a defective/too sensitive thermal cutoff switch (cutting out at too low of a temp).

Unfortunately, my research could not find any available parts. Called Dimplex, and they confirmed the defect and advised returning to Amazon (thanks Amazon for easy return!). Dimplex also confirmed that they don't make parts available for the heater and don't have a service center available to repair. Ie, this is a throw away heater series.

Glad I realized this now, while I could still return and buy another brand. Would have been really upset to learn this 5 yrs from now when something else broke.

My research showed that StelPro models come with parts list and parts are available through them, at least. I'm ordering one of those (too bad Amazon doesn't carry...).

Also note the unit seems nice, had it worked. But it does sit off the wall more than the pictures seemed to me.

Also, mine said made in France. Not USA as another post stated.

Good luck!

This is the only one nice contemporary European looking heater made in USA.

I was searching for heaters on-line since 2006, when I bought a house, and all the heaters available at Home Depot and Lowes are ugly baseboards with 300 years-old look. I understand, I am in Queen's New England, old-fashion area, but even on-line it was nothing.

Later I found Canadian Stelpro SC "Electronic Convectors", but they are expensive. I install them on my second floor.

This season I was going to buy a few more for my first floor and I did search again and I found this Dimplex heaters.

I was really surprised that it's American! Finally! Some progress in America!

I installed them (it's really easy) and I am using my programmable thermostat and external relays to control them. I simply set heater's thermostat to max.

It's been a month since and I am really pleased with look and performance. Quiet, fast, nice.

Thanks Dimplex!

CobraCo FB8008 Diamond Mesh Fire Pit with Screen and Cover Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $249.99
Sale Price: $187.99
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

This is my first fire pit. I bought this particular model after reviewing more than 100 others for a handful of reasons listed under PRO below, and the product delivered well on every expectation.

PRO:

====

1. It's a large diameter model. I need it big enough to hold whatever firewood I can buy locally, and this model handles it all well. I don't have to chop normal firewood into littler pieces.

2. It's a deep model. Those little pan models are out of the question. This model holds several pieces of wood and all the newspaper I care to ball up underneath. When I'm ready to light it, a single match takes care of everything for the first couple hours. Instead of giving the fire my constant attention, I can enjoy my family and guests.

3. There's a wonderful flat surface ringing the pit, and it's tall enough to be useful. The ring stays cool, perfect for plates and drinks. We particularly like keeping mugs of hot chocolate on the ring as we settle around the fire after dark, having eaten dinner there when it was light out. We also bought marshmallow roasting sticks that work beautifully with this fire pit.

4. The diamond mesh allows superior air flow. A fire cannot thrive without air, and this pit provides far more than other models. I could wish that the pan's bottom allowed air also, but that would allow debris (and hot coals) to fall through.

5. The mesh lid is solid and effective. I have no worries about safety when the lid is in place.

6. The entire unit is solid. Some friends have a more rickety model. This fire pit's legs are sturdily attached, but their real stability comes from their wide base.

7. Absolutely zero maintenance is required after initial assumbly. Just park this fire pit in your back yard and pull up a few of those soccer-mom sideline chairs. The firewood itself requires a bit of attention of course, but there's nothing to turn or tighten on the fire pit itself.

8. It comes with a cover! That's something you definitely want, and this model saves you that expense. My cover lasted until the lawnmowing service started a few months later, but I expect that any cover of any quality would not have survived that weed-eater treatment. Shame on me for leaving the fire pit in my suburban backyard grass instead of building a patio or laying out some bricks.

CON:

====

1. Assembly was a bit more difficult than I expected, but not bad really. All the parts are black, so it's hard even to see the holes and alignments. The metal edges aren't sharp exactly, but neither are they smooth and comfortable like rolled edges. The instructinos are clearly written in real English. But legs were attachable curving inward instead of outward, and the big ring was attachable upside-down. I could imagine v2.0 of this model ensuring that parts can only be assembled correctly. This one minor point almost gave this product less than a perfect score, but ultimately the finished product is what I rated not the assembly.

2. After six months of occasional use, the wire mesh lid looks a little burned in one place. I expect that the fire got too hot once, and that a steel wire brush would make it look new again. But I'm still in zero-maintenance mode, and I care far more about the function than continuing the like-new look.

Overall Summary: It's bigger than it looks, and quite solid. The size allows pre-building a long-lasting fire, and the mesh allows air to feed that fire so you don't need to tend it constantly. The wide, flat ring surface makes the whole unit more functional.

The product itself is actually really nice. Pretty much it's the main bowl that sits in the frame with the legs so that when you have the firepit going the main bowl is hot but the outer metal stay cool.

The problem I had with the product was that one of the legs was broken out of the box and the mesh cover was dented. I guess thankfully I have a lot of patients and am in no hurry; I called the company to request replacement for these parts under warranty. Now some may go crazy considering how long it's taking for these parts to arrive. (Around a month) but that's because they need to ship the part from China to their HQ in the US and then ship it to you. Best part is the request stays in the their records, I've dealt with so many other companies and half the time the ticket number would just magically disappear *cough HTC cough*. They even personally called me up to give me the status of the part and to give me the situation of the part.

Best Deals on CobraCo FB8008 Diamond Mesh Fire Pit with Screen and Cover

Be aware that if any parts are missing you will be asked to ship the whole fire pit to Woodstream for replacement. I was missing the screen handle and bolt and they told me to ship the whole fire pit back to them for replacement. Sorry, I did not stay on the call long enough to find out if the shipping would be at my cost or theirs.

In my opinion this is pretty poor customer service for a minor part. There are a lot of other choices, I plan to avoid this company in the future.

Honest reviews on CobraCo FB8008 Diamond Mesh Fire Pit with Screen and Cover

Very good movable fire pit. We recently remodeled the back patio and wanted a small fire pit to relax around during the evening. The CobraCo FB8008 had good reviews and was the right size for our area. It was very easy to assemble, but I was a little disappointed with the engineering of the surrounding ledge. The 4 sections do connect at the support legs which leads to a slightly uneven ledge. Also, the handle for the fire screen is attached with a single screw. I can see this being a problem in the future. The rest of the fire pit appears very solid. We have used it several times in the three weeks we have had this, with our favorite activity being toasting marshmallows to make s'mores! It truly has been a wonderful addition to our patio.

We purchased this fire pit to accommodate our family of seven. It is the perfect size. Assembly was not difficult at all. The tools are already provided. Several screws and washers. You must be careful not to lose any as they didn't include any extras. I assembled this by myself in about 15 minutes. Not bad for me! My husband was surprised I had it put together before he even had a chance to look it over. It is VERY nice and sturdy. Thinking this will last us quite a long time! We are very happy with this purchase!

This fan works great to heat up a room but it does have its draw backs. The multiple temp settings and high/low fan setting are a plus. One of the things that I was looking for in a heater was oscillation and this one has it, but the problem is that it doesn't shutoff when the fan shuts off. It just keeps on oscillating! You have to manually switch it on/off. It is also a little on the noisy side and makes a slight popping sound as it turns from side to side. Safety feature-wise, it does shut off immediately if tipped over but does not shut off if covered. There is a warning on the box that items can burst into flames if placed on or too close to the heater.

Buy Auto Sensor Induction Cooktop

Customer Ratings:

I bought the Aroma Induction Cooktop at Costco for $49.99. Up close it looks stylish and feels well built (I don't trust photos). I have a natural gas R366 Wolf at home and this amazing little cooktop will get a pot of water boiling faster.

And I was impressed even more with the ease of clean up. Since the glass doesn't get scorching hot like conventional radiant heat cooktops spilled food will wipe off easily. A big plus.

Another interesting feature...when you turn off the power the cooking stops immediately just like gas.

I'm sold, my next full sized cooktop will be induction.

We bought this from Costco.

Initially I was not so sure, but now I totally love it.

It is an extremely fast and a very cool product. We have to use iron & steel vessels, so it can become a very healthy way of cooking ( no more non-stick).

It has different heat settings as well as timer, eg, I boil water, add pasta or rice or egg, put it in the lowest possible heat setting, put the timer on and forget about it :-) It will beep when its ready.

Making Indian tea is the fastest in induction cooker.

We can also take it outside next to a plug point, for cooking outside (camping or parties)

Things I cook in induction cooker:

Rice

Pasta

Tea

eggs

Boiling water for anything

Coffee

Seasoning

Fish Fry

Any curries or sauces, that need to simmer/boil for some time.

steaming veggies (very quick)

Only drawback I can think of is getting some iron cookwares, it comes very cheap in walmart & target for $10.

Best Deals on Auto Sensor Induction Cooktop

Coming from a "foodie" and "chef" home background, I have been predisposed to gas cooking. My Wolf range has seen no spill-overs. I LOVE cooking with gas. As I enter the retirement stage of my life most of living options seem to be electric. I have read a bit about induction cooking and with the help of Costco's affordable Aroma Gourmet Induction Cooktop I am converted.

It heats up super quickly, responds instantaniously to heat changes just as gas does. I have always used cast iron and am super pleased that pieces handed down from my mom and my mother-in-law adapt VERY well to this new way of cooking. I can't believe how quickly the pans heat up. I use the magnet test and am surprised that some of the expensive (wedding gift) stainless cookware will not work, but I have enough that will that I am super, super pleased with this manner of cooking.

I would love to retire to a live-aboard boat and can see that with one induction burner and an oven of some kind my fantastic, gourmet cooking is still possible.

I may not be ready to totally give up a gas grill for outside parties, but this is a truely excellent option.

I am a self-styled gourmet and lover of my own cooking (for the most part!). (Plain, simple, close to the source cooking.)

Honest reviews on Auto Sensor Induction Cooktop

I've only had this since last week and it's currently my primary cooking device. Bought it from Home depot and paid a little more because amazon didn't have it.

For the price, I think it's a good start for induction cooking if you're new to it.

I'll start with the cons:

The 1 setting might be a little too hot for simmering certain stuff. I've goat meat boiling at 1 right now and it cycles, just like most induction cookers do. Except at the 1 setting, it doesn't come to a crazy boil just 3 seconds at a soft boil and then 8 seconds at calm.

If you've read reviews on amazon about induction cookware, you'll know they do make noise. This is like the fridge noise. It's the fan. I find the noise was higher when i was using the frying pan but a lot less now with the stockpot. The intensity also decreases at lower power levels. The quality of the SS pan determines if you hear the vibrating sorta shrill or not.

It doesn't have the temperature setting like other induction cooktops; just power settings up to 6 levels. (Personally, I don't have a problem with that although i should mention some cooktops have 10. My reasearch showed most people only go up to 6 on those). I

This is soooo not for warming foods. From what i've read, most induction cooktops are a little too hot at the lowest setting to be used as warmers.

could go either way: fan stays on a little while after power button has been turned off.

Pros:

The device clearly states at the surface that cooking surface will be hot after cooking. The area around it remains cool as I'd water on the device while my pan was at a full boil.

The highest power i've used is 4 for boiling water. most of my cooking have been between 1 and 3.

It works with the cheap stainless steel utensil I got as a gift from penny's.

The timer is nice because I can put stuff on it, set the timer and go to bed as i work nights certain days. I must mention it only goes up to 180 minutes which is 3hrs. I wish it was longer only because goat meat takes about 3-4hrs to cook. My way around it was to set the timer about an hour later right before going to bed.

1500W of power is plenty for everyday cooking.

It cleans easily.

it's very easy to use right out of the box. I've yet to read the manual. I took it right out of the box, plugged it in and started using it. Figured out how the timer works by hitting the button and then hitting the + button.

It fits a small space on my counter top so it's space saving. Plus, If i choose to live in the dorm for school later on, I'll have something portable.

I'll update this review as needed but for now, I highly recommend it. I think it's a bargain at the current price (Amazon sells these for $54.99, you may need to do a new search as this product is listed differently for various sellers.)

update april 2012: Still using this as my primary cooktop and I'm loving it more. if you do have a large dutch oven with thick sauce in it, you can use the 1 setting to keep things warm. Things heat evenly, no hotspots or nothing.

August 2, 2012: This cooktop is dead. Gave me an error message when i put one of my pans on it. Same pan I've always used on it. Yesterday, It would only take my dutch oven. Today, it's just giving an error message for all the pans i put on it and I've different brands of stainless steel appliances. Only lasted a little over half a year. quite awful, in my opinion.

August 8: So I called aroma 2days ago. The rep mentioned 1yr warranty and offered to replace it if i can show proof of purchase so I faxed it to them that evening. Today, they called informing me they don't have this current model but have an upgraded model with a keep warm function and wanted to know if i'm OK with getting that. So they are shipping it today and got a UPS email confirmation 2hrs following the call.

All in all, I'm glad at the ease of product replacement as I was super pissed, hence my 1 star review but I'll move it to 4stars. I've aroma products 4+ years old and this is the first time a product had failed on me.

They told me 5-7days to receive the replacement when i called monday. I went ahead and purchased another induction cooktop on august 3rd as I've noticed that I can't go back to using electric burners. My SS pans looked new when I used this but one day of cooking on an electric burner and I had discoloring at the bottom and food burning and sticking which required soaking, SOS and lots of scrubing. Despite my experience, I still think Induction cooktops are great and I'm a convert.

Love it, I have it in an efficiency and it IS efficient, safe and very economical. Couldn't be more pleased. Remember you do need to buy pots that will work with the induction. So far our cast iron pots and the blue enamel 'camping' gear seem to work. No aluminum or copper bottom.
