I bought it for my bathroom because its not well insulated. It worked fine for the first three months but then it stopped. Only used it for a hour a day heating up a small space and it die. Plug it in and the light lights up but the heater does not put out hot air. Regretted wasting money.

I received this heater for Christmas for my home office. The room is 12 x 16 and it is the last room in the house to get heat. It is usually 10 degrees colder than other rooms. This heater is extremely well made and sturdy. It took me a few times to find the setting I wanted to warm the room to the temperature I wanted but it has maintained it perfectly since then. I highly recommend this heater if you want one that makes very little noise and prefer a low profile instead of the radiator look.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Our girls' room is approximately 120 square feet and is easily the coldest room in the house. We've tried radiator type oil heaters but they're so slow to heat up that it's hard to change the room temp in a pinch. We thought we'd try a baseboard heater, being mindful that with toddler/crawlers the heater can't be on when the kids are on the move. Some observations:

The plastic feels cheap and the knob is flimsy.

The heater doesn't appear to kick in unless the room temp drops lower than the setting.

The heat elements never turn red, but it does get very hot to the touch.

On high, there's a distinctive low thrumming/buzzing sound. Tolerable.

It's not as long as I thought it would be, so it's pretty much good for a bedroom, but not much else.

I'd buy this again if it were priced right, but just make sure you get it for the right sized space, probably about half of what the recommended space allowance should be.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This heater releases a good amount noh heat and warms my sons smallish room decently. The problem is that it says not leave it near drapes, furniture, etc. This makes sense, but 3 feet? That's a foot circle. So,I have to keep it in the middle of his room, and it just doesn't look great there, and I have to put it away every morning. It is certainly inconvenient. The grill also gets pretty hot, easily burning you when it has been in use for a while, so be careful. At just over 5000 btu's, it puts out a nice amount of heat, easily warming my sons dormer room, which is not well insulated....of course, it hasn't gotten REALLY cold yet, but I think it will do a nice job, even when temperature really drops. I like the options, of time and temperature, though I just keep it at 75 degrees. What is also nice is that it does not dry out his room. We have forced air heat in the house, and that really dries things up. This makes it much more comfortable for him. I do worry that he might get burned if he wakes up and walks into it (even though it is not in has path to walk out of his room). Since he is 10, I am not so concerned, but I wouldn't leave it in my 8 year old's room, as she tends to walk around a lot. It is perfect for heating a small room without drying it out, just be careful not to keep it anywhere near anything, as it gets so hot that it could be potentially dangerous.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice heater, not great, but okay. It has multiple temperature settings; the highest setting is 75°. The heater also has a timer with multiple settings, allowing you to set the timer as a safety measure. The unit produces enough heat if you're right on top of it, but definitely takes some time to warm up a room. I think the addition of a fan would help distribute the heat faster, and more evenly. I know baseboard heat doesn't usually come with a fan, but it still would be a nice feature. Not a bad unit for the price, but there are other options you may want to look at before choosing this one.

I purchased this unit in May 2012. I used it to cool my apartment for almost four months. I started using the unit's supplemental heating feature in September 2012. At that time, I noticed that whenever the temperatures outside plunged BELOW 45 degrees Fahrenheit, a BURNING SMELL would come from the unit while operating in the supplemental heat mode... and when that happens, the unit provides little to no heat whatsoever! The unit indicates that its supplemental heating feature provides you with an additional heat source "when needed." But what it SHOULD indicate is that its supplemental heating feature provides you with an additional heat source "only when the outside temperatures are 45 degrees Fahrenheit or HIGHER." When I brought this issue to the attention of the manufacturer of this unit (Electrolux Major Appliances), the manufacturer completely disregarded the issue! I had to contact a DIFFERENT air conditioner manufacturer (Friedrich Air Conditioning Co., Ltd.) in order to find out the TRUTH about this unit! This unit is a HEAT PUMP heating unit, rather than a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating unit. STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating units can operate efficiently EVEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. This unit is NOT a STRAIGHT ELECTRIC heating unit, but is instead a HEAT PUMP heating unit, which means that the outside temperatures must be 45 degrees Fahrenheit OR HIGHER in order for this unit's heating feature to operate. According to Friedrich Air Conditioning Co., Ltd., attempting to use HEAT PUMP heating units when outside temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit will OVERWORK THE COMPRESSOR and can cause a BURNING SMELL to come from the unit while operating... essentially shortening the lifespan of the unit. So if you are looking for a unit that can provide supplemental heating IN MORE EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES, then this is NOT the appropriate unit for you!

Love this unit, should not be used for only heating source as in the dead of winter it will not warm. we have 8 of these in a small seasonal motel and have had zero issue with them and the operating ambient temp of 40 degrees and it keep the rooms warm enough. I dont beleive it would work well anything below that tempurature.

Best Deals on Frigidaire FRA08PZU1 8,000 BTU Cool/3,500 BTU Heat Compact Window

BACKGROUND

Traditional heat/cool ACs are specialty appliances, like window ACs that are short or narrow. They're installed where a single appliance does both summer and winter duty (think motel). Usually 220v, they produce ample heat and have ample power bills to go with them. This is because they operate like giant space heaters with resistance coils. But in a world of ever increasing energy costs, there's a better way. Its called a heat pump. Window heat pumps are rare and 120v heat pumps even more so. This is the only one made by Frigidaire and only one other company also makes only one.

THEORY

Normally the purview of expensive mini split systems, heat pumps make heat out of thin air, using much less energy than other methods of electric heat. Most window ACs on the market only make cold. This takes heat on the inside and moves it outside. Heat pumps have the ability to run in reverse. They capture heat on the outside and move it inside. Why is this useful? Because moving heat is way more efficient than making heat. This window unit can generate 3 times more BTU per watt than a space heater. Simply put, if half your winter power bill is currently making heat with space and baseboard heaters, this will cut your power bill by more than one quarter.

LOCATION

But, as other reviews indicate, this process is only effective when the outside temperature is above freezing. This model works great in the southeast, south, southwest, and northwest, where winter temperatures rarely go below 40. This model is a poor choice for the northeast and other climates with regular snow fall.

INSTALLATION

The only issue I have with this model is its size. Its 85lbs and closer in size to 12-18k (medium) window units. This reduces vibration and makes it quieter but also limits the number of places it can be installed. The smallest size you should consider is 23 inches across and that requires not using the side skirts (just get extra foam strips). Fortunately, the sleeve system reduces installation difficulty (not having to hold it while getting the bits in place) and allows for both window and through-the-wall installation. Just make sure to wear gloves when moving the inner sled.

USE

Its a little counterintuitive, how a machine with big moving parts can use less energy than a tiny little heater. But thats how much power a glowing red coil uses. This unit really does take less power than a hair dryer. It also solves that annoying burn smell so common with electric heating. It also solved my moisture problems, eliminating the need for the space/cost/power of a separate dehumidifier. Just plan for condensate: winter heating in the humid PNW, it drips more than an AC in the summer. And of course, when summer hits, no second appliance needed just change modes!

I bought one for the office and liked it so much I bought a second for the house. With enough insulation in your windows/walls and combined with an air circulator (fan or air cleaner), it can handle multiple rooms. Heating my small kitchen, living, dining, hall, and two bedrooms with a single unit, it does need an hour or two head start in the morning, but thats what the timer is for.

POWER

This 120v model can easily operate on an empty circuit. It should not be on the same circuit as other heavy appliances. This model actually has 3 systems/modes, with 3 BTU ratings and 3 wattage levels:

Cool: 8000 BTU @ 815 watts

Heat Pump: 7000 BTU @ 780 watts

Heat Strip: 3500 BTU @ 1290 watts

The middle one is the point of this appliance. The heat strip is a kind of insurance, coming on automatically when the heat pump cannot (but using more power while giving you less heat). Such as when its to cold outside or the compressor was recently cycled. Like old fashioned resistance heaters, if the heat strip hasn't been operated in a while, it will make a burning smell. This is normal and should 'burn off'.

NOTES

Window ACs only have one power level, the BTU rating of the compressor. The compressor runs at a constant rate until a target temp is reached and then cycles off. Low/medium/high only effects the fan speed. The higher the fan speed, the more diffused the total cool/heat output will be and the less cool/hot the air coming out will feel. Higher fan speeds cool/heat better when the extra air flow better distributes the cool/heat generated by the compressor. If you need more cold/heat than medium provides, you need more BTU (a bigger unit), an air circulator, or both.

Air circulators (like the Air King 9214) are handy window AC companions. Placed nearby, they dramatically increase the reach of wall/window units and with AC and fan on low, are also quieter. Cold gets removed from the area near the AC, allowing it to run longer and cool more. Meanwhile, areas further away get colder sooner and stay cooler longer (replace cooler with warmer for winter operation).

Sleep mode does the opposite of the set mode, cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer. If you prefer sleeping cooler both seasons, just press sleep in morning when using cool mode.

Heat mode operates like cool mode when energy saver is on. Cycling off/on to check the room's temp.

This model does not have the loud beep found on other late model Frigidaires.

Most negative window AC reviews are because of shipping problems. Consider ordering "shipped to store", so you can inspect the box before accepting it and won't have to handle the return if there's an issue.

Review of LIFESMART Amish Inspired Power Plus 1200 Square Foot 6 Element

List Price: $399.00
Sale Price: $119.95

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.

ProCom Universal Vent-Free Firebox, Model# PC32VFC Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Box easy to frame in. Stuffed a 34,000 btu log set in. Not alot of play for connection, could've had more if used proper log set. Did not come with clear instructions for mounting fan location but could figure out after eye balling for a little bit. Costs are same with Amazon and Northern Tool, although shipping was half the cost with Amazon. This item regardless is shipped from Procom. After installed, I cranked it up and got it operating, checking for temperatures surrounding insert. Frame was cool, floor tile not effected. heat was rising although not effecting above and backwards area where future electronics will be placed. It's working out as planned although not enough room inside for planned gas shutoff valve. That had to be placed outside of insert. I got a good deal on refurbished log set at 34,000 btu and wanted to take advantage of that, dimensions fit although cramped inside insert. I don't see problems at all and can see that insert doing it's job for a long time. Hopefully log set lasts awhile. For an insert and prices on inserts would highly recommend this one.

We used an LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor of our last home. We are just finishing up remodeling a home we purchased out of foreclosure and decided immediately that we would us a large LP fireplace as the primary heating source for the first floor in this home as well. We will be moving in soon and this unit has already proven to be well worth the price. If you are in the market for a gas or LP vent free fireplace, and are handy in any way, shape or form I suggest doing what I did. I bought this firebox, chose a vent free gas log set that would be compatible and built my own mantle out of solid maple. I assembled and installed the unit myself. By doing this I saved HUNDREDS of dollars over "packaged" vent free fireplaces I have seen on the market, AND I got a better fireplace.

This unit is solid, well-made and offers several different ways to attach the mantle. It also has a huge access door in the louvered area at the bottom for installation of the blower if you should be so inclined. Great product at a great price. Definitely recommend.

I was getting some pretty high monthly bills using the standard baseboard heaters with the typical resistant type heating elements. They appeared to be cheaply made, as well.

So, I surveyed my home. Getting the number and correct lengths for the Hydronic baseboard heaters. I had to find other suppliers because Amazon's vendors didn't have all sizes needed.

I used two(2) other suppliers. I have a two(2) floor, two(2)bedroom one(1) bathroom; kitchen/dining room and a finished upstairs den/activity room Cape Cod type house.

This required two(2)\six(6) foot hydronic heaters upstairs; one(1)\two(2) footer by the back kitchen door downstairs with one(1)\five(5)foot hydronic heater against the kitchen's interior wall; one(1)\six(6) footer under the front living-room double window and one(1)\four(4) foot heater under an adjacent window, also, in the living-room; one(1)\two(2) foot hydronic in our full bathroom, which would be considered smaller than the average bathroom by today's standards. One(1)\five(5)foot heater placed under the window in the back bedroom; two(2)\four(4) foot hydronic baseboards were attached under the two(2) adjacent windows in the master-bedroom.

During the winter months, my electric bills would average over $200.00 apprx.

After installation and a few months use over winter months, the electric bills averaged a little over $100.00.

This was significant enough to bring a smile to my face.

Understand that this reflects only performance within the environment of my home. Different results may vary with other installations.

I would assume, that if the customer is replacing the resistance coil type heaters with the liquid filled hermetically sealed heating elements as seen in these hydronic units, a reduction in electrical power use should result.

I have no doubt, in my opinion, that these hydronic type heating units earn a five star rating.

We bought this unit more than 5 years ago (cannot remember how long before then) when larger selection of hydronic heaters were available. This unit continues to work, turning our 3/4-season sunroom into a comfortable year-around room. It is very safe, there are no loose parts, the liquid supporting the heating method has not leaked, dripped, etc. Entire unit is solidly built and puts out so much heat that my husband can sweat if he stays in the room too long. A small change in thermostat equates to a large heat output. With 3 dogs running around, this unit has tipped over a few times. Each time, the security feature turned off the unit stopping any potential harm. We are VERY satisfied. For someone who has children playing on the floor, I recommend hieghtened attention or prohibiting the children from playing on the floor in front of the unit unless an adult is with them, because the unit produces a lot of heat in a short period of time, and many children do not recognize or report to an adult the major they feel in temperature. I would be concerned about too much high heat focused onto the child in a focused and short timeframe. The only downside is that you cannot adjust the unit to redirect the airflow, yet this seems to be common with other baseboard heaters I have seen.

I take toast very, very seriously. It is my favorite food. I have been looking for a toaster oven that can toast exotic items like bread. Turns out, the people at Black & Decker do not want me to make or eat toast.

This toaster oven toasts incredibly well. Incredibly. Well. In fact, it will toast your entire kitchen. With fire. This toaster oven actually takes bread and turns it into fire. It is a magical machine, full of mystery and wonder. If you love fire and toast, then this is the appliance for you. If you like to stay warm by the glow of a fire, then this is the appliance for you.

How to use:

1. Get fire insurance.

2. Put bread in toaster.

3. Extinguish. (Not with water though, that causes other problems, including, but not limited to, your toast being soggy)

It's pretty easy to use, except for step 1 which requires the use of a phone, which Black & Decker does not make, which is probably good because I don't like fire to be too close to my ears.

The con of this toaster oven is that it catches on fire.

The pro of this toaster oven is that it catches on fire.*

*Note this is a benefit only if you are a fire enthusiast. Otherwise, this toaster only has cons.

This toaster is not suitable for children or pets.

This toaster is not suitable if your kitchen contains anything flammable, such as furniture.

This toaster only comes in white but will turn black or brown after a few uses, so don't worry about the lack of color choices. Black matches everything.

No problems whatsoever with the new one, except the rubber feet kept falling off.

About 6 months ago, the top heating element stopped working. We have been using it as is, but once again we are in the market for a new toaster oven.

I would like to mention we have been using B & D toaster ovens for over 20 years; the very first one lasted over 11 years.I expect Black and Decker products to be faultless,and to last a lifetime. Over time, I have seen B & D using cheaper parts ie, the knobs will be poorly made, handle not as sturdy, something else falling off, poor construction.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker TRO490W Toast-R-Oven Classic 4-Slice Countertop

I was disappointed that it already began to break down after 1 year of use. The indicator light fell out and the knob is loose.

It also is anoying that the crumb tray does not come out it just swings down on hinges so you have to pick up the entire oven to empty it. I expected better from Black & Decker, which I had thought was a reputable brand.

I had a B&D toaster oven for years and therefore decided to stay with the brand. WHAT A MISTAKE. Purchased from Target. This is the worst thing I have ever purchased. I've used it twice and it's going back today. Baked fine but the toast is an issue. I first set the bagel to "Stay Warm" at 150 degrees. Because the knob is evenly shaped at both ends I was set at 450 degrees. Almost a fire. My second attempt was toast at medium and the entire glass clouded over and the inside white metal is now brown. It looks like I've had it for years. Back it goes! Took it back to Target and they graciously refunded my money. Ironically, sitting on the floor behind the counter was another one.

ORIGINAL REVIEW 5/22/13

Our Kenmore Estate dryer stopped heating last week. I took it apart and found the heating element was broken in one spot. The decision I had to make was should I buy this cheap replacement one for $20 shipped or the OEM one from the Kenmore website for $80+. Since it's such an easy part to replace I decided to try my luck with this cheaper element. It arrived today, I installed it and the dryer is heating just fine. I'm giving it a 4-star rating because 'I like it' and so far (1 day) it's been working fine. I'll be sure to update this review as time goes by to help give potential buyers a better feel for whether this heating element is the right choice for them. So far so good!

1ST UPDATE 5/29/13 It's been a week and we've probably used our dryer 5-10 times. Still drying great...

2ND UPDATE 6/17/13 It's been almost 4wks and the dryer is still going strong. At this point I'm still happy I bought the cheap-o over the OEM.

3RD UPDATE 7/27/13 Just over 2 months now and still working great...

We picked up a broken used dryer for my daughter from a neighbor that was throwing them away. The only thing wrong was the heater core had broken. It is easy to test for this with a Ohm meter. If you don't have continuity across the 2 connections of the element then it has a break in it somewhere and can't heat up. It has to be replaced and this replacement appears to be a quality piece.

Honest reviews on Whirlpool Part Number 279838: ELEMENT

I don't understand why ours keep going out. The first one went out after a week, the 2nd one just recently went out over the weekend after 3 months. I have a house full of people so it is just as cheap for me to keep buying them versus going to a laundry mat. I'm hoping this one will hold me over another month until I can buy a new set. I hear some good reviews then some bad. The item does show up in a timely manor and they did replace the one after a week. I'm not going to pursue it this time. I guess with all parts though, you either get a descent one or the one made on "Friday" lol.

This isn't the first time this part has gone out on my dryer. The first time it happened I bought the part locally for 3x the price. I remember that when I fixed it that time, it wasn't an original manufacturer product, but it did work so I didn't mind. Fast forward about 18 months and the same part is broken. I called the same place and they wanted the same amount. I asked them for the part number and decided to check out amazon. Sure enough, same non-OEM part but 1/3 the price. I expect this one to break in a year or so but it beats buying a new dryer.

Buy Oster 5965 1-1/2-Liter Electric Water Kettle, Stainless Steel

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $79.99
Sale Price: $44.99
Today's Bonus: 44% Off

I read reviews for many electric kettles and in the end chose the great Oster 5965. It had no reviews at all, but had all the features that were important to us:

Concealed Element

Short cord/cord keeper

Auto-off, no whistle

Boil dry protection

Mesh/screen pouring filter

Water level indicator

This kettle boils water quickly and my favorite feature is the Keep Warm button. Especially helpful if you tend to get sidetracked like I do. Just don't forget to turn it off! It pours neatly, looks nice on the counter, and is great when you are cooking and need boiling water. The on/off switch is a rocker button and the Keep Warm is a push button. These two were a plus for me as they are sturdy to the touch. I felt the spring type switch on the Aroma (a contender) felt flimsy and that the time would come when it would not 'catch' in the on position.

The only con is the opening for adding water is rather small. I was concerned about cleaning it, however there are directions in the manual for cleaning it with a mix of white vinegar and water, allowing it to sit overnight to remove any scale buildup.

If you have read reviews of other products where people complain that the kettle gets hot, this one is no different. But what do you expect from a steel kettle that is full of boiling water?? It's no different than if it had been sitting on the stove except that you didn't have to heat up the element and have the residual heat from the stove heating up your kitchen.

I paid $40 at Target and I recommend this Oster Brushed Stainless Steel Kettle.

I bought this kettle to replace a plastic kettle that I've had for years. Concerns over plastic in contact with boiling water convinced me to buy a stainless kettle. There is a little plastic in the water with this kettle from the water level indicator but it is greatly reduced from my all-plastic version.

I bought this at Target because I wanted to check out the inside of it before purchase; there were no pictures online which is why I posted some at the top of this page.

It is 1500 watts and boils water fast. Also has a keep warm feature which is something I don't need. I have had no leaking water problems.

The opening is small but I can get my bottle brush inside to clean with no problem. The mesh filter pops right off. If you develop scale, just pour in a cup or so of vinegar, add some water & let it sit for an hour. I have very hard water so I do this every other week. I fill the kettle from my refrigerator water tap because that water is filtered. I had tried another pot before buying this one but I could not use my refrigerator tap; water ended up on the floor. This kettle has a nice flared spout that makes filling easy. I remove the mesh strainer when filling. I'm contemplating removing the metal bar that holds the strainer because I don't really need the strainer. The strainer hangs securely on that bar; no clicking anything to lock it. It's really simple/smart.

You'll see my little back dots on the water level indicator. (I'm referring to my photo above.) I added those with a Sharpie so I know how much water I need for everyday coffee making. I use the pour-over method to brew coffee directly in to my carafe. I use more water on the weekend, less during work week & the least when it's just me. I need things simple in the AM before I've had my coffee! The measurements are in liters on one side and cups on the other side of the indicator. This is very helpful.

Yes, it gets very hot when boiling water; it's a metal kettle with boiling water. Treat it like you would a hot pan on the stove you grab the handle not the pan. The handle is very comfortable to grip & far enough away from the body of the kettle to prevent burning. Also the kettle spins on its base so there is no need to grab the body to move it around. Just grab the handle & you're good to go. Yes, steam comes out of the spout & you may want to direct the spout facing out from under your cabinets; boiling water creates steam. Do not exceed the max water level. I tried that to see what would happen. It burped some hot water out of the spout; you could burn yourself doing that.

The "Keep Warm" feature keeps the water below boiling for up to 12 hours as long as there is enough water in the kettle. If there isn't enough water, the kettle has a "boil-dry, fail-safe device" which turns the kettle off. You just push a button to use this feature. I never use it but according to the instruction manual, the water is kept at 70 C / 158 F.

The cord wraps around underneath the electric base so it's out of the way. I always unplug this device when not in use. Just like my iron and toaster.

This is a pretty, curvy kettle; one of the nicest designs I've seen. I like the brushed stainless which looks nice next to my brushed stainless carafe.

Update 5/2013: I still use this kettle although I moved it to my cabin so it only gets used on weekends now. The kettle does not leak, still heats quickly & still looks good.

The Oster stainless steel electric kettle lives up to its reputation in our household. We replaced our old and trusted plastic Oster electric kettle of many years good service, because we became concerned with boiling water in plastic which can leach toxins. The new design is beautiful to look at and has the added advantage of a "keep warm" feature the older model did not have. It is a bit less easy to read the water gauge, but you get used to it. It still boils water very fast, keeps it warm if you so wish and has no nasty taste or smell like so many other models you read about. It is heavenly for a tea drinker like me who drinks as many as ten cups a day!! Perfect for a fast oatmeal, instant coffee, instant soup, jello, adding boiling water when cooking soup and much more. At your finger tips, withing a couple of minutes are 1.5L of fresh boiling water. It turns itself off, swivels 360degrees. Love our Oster. Very well built and we expect to enjoy many years of good service like we did the previous Oster model.

Honest reviews on Oster 5965 1-1/2-Liter Electric Water Kettle, Stainless Steel

I loved this kettle as the other reviewers did but at six months it started leaking thru the bottom. I don't know if this is a design flaw or a fluke.

UPDATE: I contacted customer service and was sent a new kettle with a slightly different design but the same item number. The design flaws appear to have been addressed and this one has had no problems even with daily use. We've already purchased another for my daughter at college.

UPDATE 2: The replacement kettle is now over a year old and still working great. Whoever gets up first turns it on and it is on most of the day almost everyday with several refills. Upgrading to 5 stars!

Number one, the price was irresistible and it is true stainless, not cheap plastic looking stainless At the time of this writing it was $30 or so. I am so tired of sticking a measuring cup in the microwave to create hot water this is such a time saver. I use this mainly to heat water for:

1) French Press Coffee

2) Tea

3) Soups

4) Grits and Oatmeal Instant Type

5) Unexpected Entertaining

6) The new Apple Cider Powder Mixes

7) Hot Chocolate

And the list goes on. I use only distilled water in the unit which will help the life of the unit by a few years and with any luck the life of me.

It does heat up fast only two minutes when it was half full and that may be incredibly valuable if electric is being rationed because I live in hurricane alley and have been out of electric weeks at a time. Being able to "borrow" a few minutes of someone's generator definitely comes to mind. This is also a great gift for someone already in such a situation. I also love this appliance for "boil water" advisories which we are seeing more and more of in any state in the nation. So, yes, I would not worry about distilled if I really need water during a boil water advisory and I would use this kettle.

I actually bought this because I will be away from home for a few months...and in "camp" like conditions. Luxuries will be few and so this is one of my picks to be with me.

For anyone in snow conditions this unit has to be a total necessity. I will have this with me when I go on a two week ski trip this upcoming holiday season. In fact I will plan a lot of ski meals around this kettle.

Downside? Well, I initially flipped out the cord was so short however, being short seems to be a big asset now and it is attractive enough to earn its prime property location in my kitchen.

EXTRA THOUGHTS: Thermal Ware can be a huge plus. If you are doing powered soup mixes, grits, oatmeal or noodles anything, you will need some heat retention capability because boiling water is not enough for some foods.

I am liking this series to buy next and in different colors so I know whose is whose when I am making small meals.

I bought this to replace an original bathroom wall heater that was over 50 years old. That one had coils and the surface would get real hot. If you left a towel in front of it for awhile, I think it would ignite. The new version has a fan and is much safer. The surface doesn't get very hot and the fan is quiet. I just purchased another one to replace the heater in my other bathroom.

My old wall heater from the 1970's finally burned out. Because that model wasn't available anymore i want with something that looked similar, the Cadet heater. It was very easy to install and took only about an hour from box to turning it on. And it works perfect, heating up the room quickly. It doesn't get as hot as my old heater but i can understand why. The old heater seemed too much of a fire hazard. This new heater covers the heating units and blows the hot air out. Works great.

Despite being made in the USA (its not, its made in Canada) this is a mediocre item. I replaced the last one (A Cadet) which only lasted about six years. The original (no longer made) lasted thirty years.

The heat produced is minimal for a bathroom. This is not a particularly good heater... The only real advantage is that it fits into (with some pushing, etc.) the orginal wall "can." If you are like me and not particularly handy this is the only way to go. If you are handy enough to put in a new heater, ceiling or wall etc.. loose this one. Its just not that good a heater nor is the quality there.

The "protective coating" is some tape all over the chrome parts and had to be picked away sliver, by sliver a pain in the neck to say the least.

If you do buy one avoid buying from Gradysonline.com I made that mistake. It took eleven days to get the heater. I have amazon direct which offered free two day shipping but the web site said that Amazon was out of the product. The only communication from Grady's was a UPS tracking EMAIL two days ago. The tracking information indicated it left the seller's facility yesterday near my home!!! Eleven days is ridiculous without some communication. Wish I had just gone to the local ACE hardware to buy this thing its been a cold week.

Three stars, only because it is the "only game in town" for a direct replacement. Otherwise, there are much better heaters and stay away from Grady's. I am really surprised that Amazon (typically excellent customer service) allows this company to sell on the Amazon web site. Well, three stars is actually quite generous considering the overall product and sales...

Buy Honeywell Baseboard Heater, HZ-519

List Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $81.75
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

We needed a supplemental electric space heater for an unheated bedroom in our home that is occasionally used by guests. I selected this model over the Honeywell HZ515 because it has a screen to display the temperature instead of just a selector dial. We own one other electric heater that has a thermostat without a display, and it is much harder on that Delonghi unit for someone to set the temperature without consulting the manual. This heater is quite straightforward to operate in comparison.

If you simply push the power button, the unit will come on at full power and keep heating at full power until you turn it off again.

If you push the power button and then use the upand down-arrow buttons, you can select a temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) that the unit will attempt to maintain (up to its 1500 W capacity) until you turn it off.

If you push power, then use the arrows to select a temperature, and then push the timer button (and use the arrows to increase/decrease the amount of time), the heater will run as much as needed to keep the heat to the pre-selected temperature for the amount of time you've selected. I believe the maximum is 10 hours--enough for overnight use.

For me, this offers some extra peace of mind. I can set this heater for a guest (or tell them how to do it) and not feel the need to check up on them in the morning to be sure the heater has been turned off.

Two other features on this heater are superior to those on my Delonghi Mica Panel heater:

* the Honeywell HZ519 has a 5 year warranty (vs. Delonghi's 1 year)

* the Honeywell HZ519 has a three prong power cord (vs. Delonghi's 2 prong plug)

I own five of these, and heat my home with them (and five upright oil-filled types).

Pros: usually safe to touch, non-electronic glowing badge-type overheat indicator, timer, quiet, five-year warrantee, great flexible 16-gage 3-wire cord (stays cool), appears to be of highest quality, inexpensive.

Cons: Although there is a bright bulb indicating the unit is on, the LCD panel is unlit by it, so you can't check the indicator easily when it is dark. This is important, because the heaters sometimes reset themselves to maximum, so you need to look at the panel repeatedly during the night.

The timer only works for shut-off, not for timed turn-on, so you can't use it for programmed heating, such as warming up for the morning, or warming up for return in the afternoon.

Timer and temp settings are lost when powered off (no back-up battery or constant power to the panel from the plug).

Temp settings unpredictably reset to maximum, so you can't leave these heaters on unattended (for instance, to keep the house above freezing when going out for the day or a weekend). You may come back to a house at 80 degrees, at great electric expense.

To repeat, on all five of my units, if I have them set at some lower temperature, say, sixty-five degrees, I may come back some time later to find it at eighty degrees. So I must constantly go around checking them.

On one of the five units the tilt switch burned out. Not from being tilted, just from being on for a few months.

Many of the high-raters of this heater mention these same problems, but don't consider them as bad as I do. That is probably because they don't use the heaters as much as I do.

Many of the low-raters of this heater don't understand that all 1500 watt heaters put out the same amount of heat, and don't understand that a thermometer near the heating element is bound to read higher than one across the room, and don't understand that a convection heater is bound to be slower than, but ultimately equal or superior to, a fan-forced or radiant heater of the same wattage. Oil convection heaters are even slower, since the oil has to heat up first. Radiant heaters lose heat out the window if pointed at an unshaded window. There is a theory that radiant heat is equivalently comfortable at lower power use. Fan-forced heaters' fans will eventually fail, sometimes causing a fire.

Some reviewers mention the poor instructions, and how important they are. Much better instructions are available online. The controls are not obvious; you are sure to misuse them if you don't have the online instructions. Basically: to set the temperature, turn the unit off, turn it on, press the Temp button, use the up/down buttons to set the temperature, and then don't touch it again. If you subsequently touch any button it will reset to maximum. At first the indicator will show what temperature you have set it to try to get up to. After a while, the indicator will show the actual temperature at the unit you can no longer check the temperature it is attempting to attain. Ignore the fan icon: there is no fan. If the clock icon appears (unintentionally), you have double-clicked, and must start over. The thermometer icon shows you have set the temperature. When the temperature blinks, it has attained the goal you set.

This heater really heats up a room in a hurry. To provide some context, my kitchen is in the vicinity of 120 square feet, and it only takes 5 minutes or so to heat up after turning this heater on. As advertised, it is indeed silent. And even when first turning it on, it didn't emit that nasty new-heater smell. This heater is a great value and I'm glad I bought it.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Baseboard Heater, HZ-519

I've had one of these heaters for a couple years and it has worked well for occasional use & I've been quite happy with it. So, last week when I saw them for sale at Home Depot I picked another one up. I used it for a couple days, turning it on during the day and off at night. Then one morning I went to turn it on and was surprised to find the unit was hot. Even though it was powered off and the display was off the unit was still heating. I unplugged it and tried again later with the same result. I don't know if this a common problem, but you may want to make sure yours is working OK.

Thankfully I was able to return the defective heater to the store I bought it. But my experience with this heater and a previous experience with defective Honeywell humidifiers makes me wonder if Honeywell's quality no longer lives up to their reputation. And their support company, Kaz, leaves very much to be desired in regard to customer service.

If I had no concerns about the safety and reliability of this heater, I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately that is not the case.

Moved into a new place that didn't have central heating, got rather cold at night and in the morning so I searched for an electric heater. Never bought one before, but I came across this one and purchased it. Very happy with the purchase, it is dead silent, heats a rather large bedroom well and keeps it warm through the night so I am not freezing in the morning. Has great options, you can leave it on and just constantly running or set it at a certain temperature and it will turn it self off when it reaches that temp. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a reliable, silent heater for a decent sized room.

I purchased this little fireplace heater for my vintage Comet Travel Trailer. I absolutely love how small and compact it is. It creates a pleasant ambiance and heats effectively without taking up much space. I like that it doesn't overload my breaker and it has 2 heat settings. I can only say that when it's going, it definately brings a smile on my face and heats my small quarters with warmth and character. I would recommend this heater in spite of it not having an automatic thermostat to turn itself off.

Honest reviews on Comfort Zone® Mini Fireplace CZFP1

I wanted a small electric fireplace to install in my renovated Classic Shasta LoFlyte travel trailer however, the models I found had displays that were too large and they came in large prebuilt cabinets. During my web search I stumbled across the Comfort Zone space heater/electric fireplace for a great price. It turns out my next door neighbor had one so I checked the dimensions and checked out the fireplace function and was sold.

Once I received the unit I built a faux fireplace cabinet to place it in complete with a faux river rock face and hearth and a maple mantle, it fits perfectly in the rear of the trailer between the couch and dinette and looks and works great. The only thing missing was the fireplace sound so... I downloaded an hour of real fireplace recording onto my Android phone and installed 2 powered PC speakers in the cabinet and Presto! I have the look and sound of a real fireplace. Even if you're just buying it for the heater function alone... this is an attractive unit at a great price!
