We bought this for our small office and it does such a wonderful job

of heating the area quietly. We had another heater that was much louder and didn't do nearly the job this one does. I highly recommend it!

I bought this heater to help save on the gas bill this winter. It seems to be a good powerful little heater. I am using it in the living area and right away noticed a difference in temperature. The oscillating feature is nice and so is the remote control unit. There does not seem to be much of a difference in noise level between the high and low setting, but is fairly quiet. All in all a good heater for the money.

Although I purchased this originally to heat my master bedroom, which is very large, I also use it in my bathroom. It is thermostatically controlled, takes up less room than regular heaters,and does not have hot surfaces since a fan blows out the hot air, I think it is great. I would recommend it to anyone under the same circumstances.

I bought two of these last winter to help with the heating bill. They worked great until they burnt out. The first one made it about six months then we noticed the thermostat became very incosistent. Shortly after that it turned off and would not turn back on. The second one made it almost to the end of its second winter, but bit it just like the first one. I wish they would have lasted longer than they did.

This heater was easy to assemble, works flawlessly and most importantly, on the slower fan speed,it is so quiet we can leave it running while we sleep. The circulating feature helps warm more area of the room than our previous stationary heater was able to do. I especially like it because it takes up so little floor space, and is reasonably attractive, not squatty or industrial looking.

This Fireplace did not come with a remote control and the description said that it did. Unfortunately, that was a feature that I specifically wanted and I may have purchased another fireplace that I was considering that did have that feature instead of this one had I known this ahead of time. Other than that misrepresenation in the description, the fireplace does works great and comfortably heats our sun room which is a 13 X 16 room with a cathedral ceiling. We only used it to heat the room for holiday functions so far, but it has done the job quite nicely and everyone thought it looked very nice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It looks okay if you don't stare too hard at it, but the flames look obviously fake if you actually look directly at it while it's doing it's thing. The textured black finish on the MDF board parts looks as if it's meant to resemble cast iron, but it doesn't quite pull it off, it still looks like painted wood. What it does do well is make an acceptable supplemental heater for an average sized living area. There are two heat settings, and an adjustable thermostat. It would make it nicer if it had a crackling fire sound to add to the effect, instead of just a silent fire.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have not had an electric fireplace before. But, I was certainly surprised at the heating uniformity this one produced. I was suspicious that it would heat in one spot, like those small space heaters.

I placed this in the lowest level of my home. I have a Tri-level and the basement level is the coldest. Athough it is not too cold yet, this electric Fireplace threw out some instant heat. The heat soon radiated into the room, and it kept the heat in the room uniform.

I liked the look of the flames and the wood, as it is quite realistic. The flames are high, and consistently producing nice images of fire.

My only concern is that the flames are placed in the back, and I would like the flames to billow out of the "logs" also. So, the logs are lit, and the flames are in the back.

The unit, itself, does not get hot, and there is an auto safety feature. You can operate this with or without the heat. PLUS, you can operate one heating element or both for greater warmth.

I placed the Fireplace on cinderblocks to bring the heat up a little more. It is not heavy, so you can move it where you may need it.

So, the room I have it in is narrow, but long. The heat remained constant and uniform. But what I do not know yet is if this uses more electricity than normal. I will test it out, But, in the meanwhile, it is wonderful!! Works great, looks better! Rizzo

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this product to put in one of my bedrooms.

This unit, unlike the Vienna model, was packed well. There was minimal/no assembly required. Mine did come with a remote control but I noted that other reviewers commented on not receiving one. I think there is a quality control issue with this company that needs to be addressed.

This fireplace is a bit smaller than I envisioned but it looks nice although perhaps a bit dated. I wish it had a wood top surface but from a distance it looks OK. The flames look like what you would expect from an electric fireplace. It makes the room feel cozy. There are two switches for heat settings, both 750 watts and one setting for visual effect only.

I can't comment (yet) on the heating efficiency but aesthetically the flames/fire look good. Like I said, the unit itself isn't very modern but it feels at home in the room where we put it. Overall I'd recommend this item but I would caution buyers on potential quality control issues like bad packing and missing parts.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a nice sturdy fireplace that is attractive, easy to use and it has worked great. The "flame" is about as realistic as any other electric fireplaces, and is strangely mesmerizing. The three pane window provides a better effect than the single flat pane found on most fireplaces. We put this unit in our bedroom which isn't well insulated, the heater has already come in handy on a couple of cold nights.

An excellent, easy to use product that I highly recommend.

Accumulair Carbon Odor Block Filter Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I really want to love these filters. We have two cats. Two cases of severe seasonal allergies. And an aversion to anything that doesn't smell like Roses. We have five filters installed at once. Can we tell the difference...don't know. Our noses get used to smells quickly. There is no denying they filter well, but I can't tell you they will completely freshen up your home. We are going back to a similar filter without activated-charcoal. If we can then tell the difference, then I will update this post with a higher rating. If we can't...the review will remain the same.

A side note...Customer Service from FiltersNow through Amazon was spectacular!

UPDATE: Over the last few months we have really begun to notice the difference these filters make. Our first example is a visit from a severe, cat-allergy sufferer. A cousin of ours spent nearly an entire week with us and found that his usual cat allergies did not act up at all. Recently, the true test has come. I replaced every carbon filter with a high end 3M filter (no activated charcoal). Within days, we began to feel a general discomfort at constant subtle smells throughout our home. We allowed the 3M filters to do their job for 6 weeks, then went back to the Accumulair Carbon. By the end of the day of re-installation, the house was fresh and comfortable again. We had such a great night's rest that very same night that we ordered a supply of Accumulair to last us the rest of the year.

I am no recommending these strongly to anyone that will listen.

Stinky fumes. Not only do they singe your nose hairs, but chances are they're toxic! Chemicals, cigarette smoke... we know the aren't good for us.

I've always wondered why a charcoal-activated/carbon air filter was never available for whole-house HVAC systems. The makers of Accumulair must have pondered the same thing because here, after all these years, is an odor absorbing air filter for the house!

OK, I'll cut to the chase. This filter does a great job of absorbing household odors. It works like a regular particle filter and is just as easy to install. It's available in every size imaginable (be sure to double-check you're ordering the right one since that dropdown-menu size selector has enough sizes to make your eyes cross).

Four, not five, stars because it's not a super effective particle filter compared to a "regular" non odor-absorbing filter. The filter is more like a sponge material rather than cross-woven fibers or microfibers so there are bigger pores for some dust/allergens to penetrate. Allergy sufferers might fare better enduring the smell of last night's fish dinner instead of circulating bigger particles than a standard filter would catch. But it does exactly as claimed... it clears the funk from the air. (Well, maybe they didn't use the word "funk"...)

Honest reviews on Accumulair Carbon Odor Block Filter

These seem to work pretty well. I rent and am worried about smoke and cooking fumes accumulating. I have a 1 BR apartment with the return duct in an AC/Heater closet located near the kitchen. I would suggest stocking up on these and replace them once every 1-3 months. I suppose it's not going to trap all the smoke and cooking fumes, but it's better than the cheap cotton candy filter material that was in my apartment's heater/ac.

Edit: The new shipment of 6 filters showed more light showing thru the filters, which means they used less charcoal. I was kind of disappointed.

I've since decided these are inferior to Nordic Pure MERV 7 Plus Carbon Air Filters 1 inch. Accumulair reduced the amount of charcoal in their line of filters. You can see right thru them now!

Buy Ancona Electric Comfort Combo Towel Warmer and Drying Rack Floor

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this towel warmer (from Costco online) when our old warmer died after 20 years of use. We tried another towel warmer (a cheaper one) and it was super hot in spots and very cold in other spots so we returned it. This model, wall mounted, has all metal parts, easy installation with two allen wrenches provided and a visible on/off switch at the top.

It has five rails and gets pretty darn hot. So our towels are warm and dry after every use.

We keep it turned on all the time which helps to rid the bathroom of excess moisture and adds a little more warmth to the room in the winter.

Be aware that the option to wall mount or free stand is not available in one box. Ours was only wall mountable and did not have the option to use free standing. There must be two models and the choice is made at purchase time.

This is a nice model and in comparison to other towel warmers in this price range, is a high quality product.

Discount Cuisinart 14 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker DCC2600C

Customer Ratings:

I love this coffee maker! We are big coffee drinkers. I bought this one because it made 2 extra cups of coffee. When my family is here, we can go through five or six pots of coffee. I did not want to buy a commercial coffee maker and all of the others are tweleve cup coffee makers. Anyway, two extra cups help. I love the brew strenth option. You can choose the bold option for brewing. It also has an option of how hot to keep the coffee. I love very hot coffee, so this is nice. I have had this for about six months, and could not be more pleased.

My search for a good coffee maker is over! I tried and returned 4 coffee makers to the store before finding this one on Amazon. The ones that I returned were from Jura, Krups, Braun and Delonghi. All good names, but the coffee was weak or not hot enough.

This Cuisinart has smart features including a bold/mild setting, 1-4 cup setting, warming plate temperature control, glass carafe (that doesn't drip) with a removable top for easy cleaning and a compact footprint. The coffee brews quickly and quietly. The result is a rich, hot, smooth cup of coffee. I routinely make 6 cups in the morning on the bold setting and occasionally a full pot on the mild setting when guest come over. In both cases, the coffee has been excellent. The overall design is sleek and it looks great in my granite and stainless kitchen. This is a new model for 2010 and Cuisinart definitely got it right.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 14 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker DCC2600C

Well, i was originally going to buy the DCC 1200 12 cup brewer, however, I went to Costco to see what they had there first before i purchssed the same product online. Well Costco didn't have that model but THIS 14-cup model instead for a phenomenal price of $60!!! So, I went back home, read the reviews for this model and was instantly swayed to purchase this it at Costco. I love everything about it! I am veeery particular in coffee pots because I am very picky when it comes to how well my coffee tastes, how warm it is, etc. This was perfect!

I previously owned the B60 Keurig brewer, but got tired of spending the money for the individual packs, of coffee splattering all over my counter, of using the small filters to put my own coffee in getting coffee everywhere and having it come out tasting watery, and for the coffee not really being hot enough. Basically i realized i wanted an actual coffee pot again! I couldn't be happier! This machine has it all14 CUP capacity, different heating levels, gold tone filter, regular or bold brew setting, a great pouring spout, a beautiful look, you can set it to make a small amount if you only need a few cups, it's of course programmable, and you can pour a cup while it's brewing if your spouse is on the go for work or something! It's perfect!

Buy Sengoku CTN-110 KeroHeat Radiant 10,600-BTU Portable Kerosene Heater

Customer Ratings:

I have two kerosene heaters, a Robeson (K-Mart) which is 25+ years old, and a Kerosun which is about 10 years old. Both work perfectly, year after year, with minimal starting and no operating odor, even with old kerosene. (I do add kerosene treatment which seems to stabilize the kerosene and claims to reduce the odor.) However, the Robeson does not have a cartridge tank, and I got tired of lugging it outside to refill. The Kerosun spoiled me.

The CT-1100 arrived promptly, and seems to be intermediate in quality between the Robeson and Kerosun. As expected it was smelly for the first few hours, but no significant smoke starting or stopping. After doing a dry wick burn, there is still a slight but annoying odor when operating. If I did not have the other two, I would probably consider it normal. After setting the wick, I regularly get 18+ hour burn times, which compares with the Kerosun which has the same size tank. I plan to work with it for the rest of the season, and if the odor continues, will replace the wick when warmer weather arrives. It definitely seems flimsier than those in the other two heaters.

So far no real problems with good heat output and much greater convenience and safety. It compares well with the Kerosun in design, though the sheet metal is clearly of a lighter but completely acceptable gauge.

bought two of these heaters both are the same one branded mega heat and

the other heat mate, both work as they should except the both give off

odor while burning, i have two other convection style heaters that have

no smell while running, but these two radiant models do give off odor.

i have dry burned the wick, unit has been adjusted just as manual says

red from top to bottom with blue flame on top , but smell is still there.

any ideas to get rid of smell would be welcome, get about 11 to 12 hours

burn time from full tank, if i could get rid of odor the would be great

buy, stick with convection type kerosene heaters they seem to burn cleaner.

add on one year later, i changed the wick that came with heater to better

quality wick from miles stair wick shop , odor is no longer a problem i

was told cheap wicks are thinner and allow smell, better wicks are thicker and fill channel tighter so no smell comes through,with this new

wick heater works perfectly with no odor, check out miles stair wick shop

This KeroHeat Ct-1100 Must be seasoned before normal use (all kerosene heaters do). Like a cast iron pan if you skip this it will smell and smoke. . I did what the site said, and I have been quite pleased with my results. What you do is, start with a quarter tank of Kerosene, burn the heater on high for about a half hour, until the top plate is red hot. Back to low for a hour. Finally back to high for a hour and let run out of fuel. I use CLEAR kerosene and the deodorant additive as well. Don't get too fixed on a certain sent, this unit is too efficiant and you will not have the sent filling the air in your home. I also recommend the KeroHeat HMN-110 radiant and KeroHeat CV-2230 convection. **Dont forget to run the Humidifire in your home**

I've had the Kero-Heat for over 1 1/2 years and used both clear and red-dyed kerosene as a fuel source. Due to the rising cost of both, the red-dyed version clearly is the most economical but has a tendency to leave a residue in the wick and will reduce its lifespan.

However, this in infinitely preferable to an attempt by me to use a quartz tubed heater as an alternative heat source. When I received my electric bill and saw that it tripled ($70 to $230), I unplugged it immediately.

The bottom line is that you must use wicks that have a high cotton content (i.e., England) and not the OEM ones that come from Asia that look virtually identical. I tried both and the English ones not only burn better without an odor but are significantly hotter as well.

I also used a catalytic disk above the burner to further reduce any odor.

Both are available through Miles Stair's Wick Shop online.

We've had this heater for several months and use it every night. It's used to supplement heat in a 15'x18' bedroom and heats that space up very quickly. I think the 'flame' looks quite realistic...just understand that it's not a real flame but they did a pretty good job representing a flame. The heat is blown from the bottom of the unit out to the front. The noise level is low, but the fan does stay on throughout the night whether the heat is on or off. But, we have two other Lasko ceramic room heaters and they are definitely louder than this. The thermostat function works very well. Please note, though, that the thermostat is not set by degrees. The first time you turn on the heater, you turn up the thermostat knob to the highest mark then when the room reaches the temperature you want, you turn the knob back until the heating turns off...that becomes your room heat point for the unit. It does work fine once you set it up. The remote turns the unit on and off only no heat adjustment, but we haven't had a need to adjust the heat once we set the thermostat and I like the on/off remote. The unit seems to be constructed well -I've seen different brands like this made of mostly plastic but that's not the case with this one. It's pretty compact as well so it fits nicely in most spaces. I wouldn't expect it to heat a large area (I haven't tried though), but I don't think it's made for that. Overall we're very pleased with it so far and hope that it lasts a long time.

I have always wanted a fireplace in my bedroom. At the back of the house, the room get's chilly at night and, also, I love the ambiance of a fireplace. My Dimplex Electric Stove arrived two weeks ago. I read the manual, plugged it in, put the battery in the remote and there it was! An instant wood-burning stove. It is so attractive and so easily moved from room to room. Honestly, the flames look real. Even when the stove is turned off, the logs are designed to have a little glow that looks like the dying embers of a fire. There is a very quiet fan underneath that blows out the heat and when I set the temperature control, it's just right to take the chill off in the bedroom. I almost didn't buy it because of some reviewers who were not happy with the thermostat. Maybe they did not read the manual. You have to turn the temperature control knob all the way to the right, until you hear a soft click. Then you turn it counterclockwise until just the right amount of heat is coming out. It will "set" that temperature and keep it there. I've had mine on for 8 hours and it still puts out the same gentle heat. The other thing I LOVE is that the manual says you can turn off the heat and still have the flames and the glowing logs without heating up your room. Awesome because on summer nights where I live, it's never cool enough to have a fire in our regular living room fireplace. If I ever want to enjoy the glow of a fire on summer nights, I will be able to click my remote control and have the beautiful glow and atmosphere without heating up the room. I checked out the Dimplex web site before I bought this and was so impressed with how they use the latest innovations to make the flames and glowing logs/embers look real. They really do. The stove itself is so cute. The door really opens. By the way, the unit itself does not get hot. So, there is no danger of burning yourself if you touch it. I am so pleased. When we have guests, I might just put it in the guest room for them to enjoy since it is so easy to move.

When I was looking to purchase an electric stove, I couldn't find a decent video of how the flames looked. I made this video with the heater running, and no other sounds in the room. When the heater switch is turned off and you are using the stove solely for the ambiance of the flames, it's even more quiet. If you have the TV or radio on, you can barely hear the heater fan. It's much quieter than I thought it would be. (There IS a rhythmic hum, but it's not loud enough to be distracting and I'm right up in front of the unit so it will be louder than if you're sitting 8 to 10 feet away).

The heater is attached to the bottom, and there is approximately a 1-1/2" clearance, so if you place this directly on carpeting, most of the heat exiting the heater will warm the carpet up quite well. I purchased some 18" x 18" cement blocks made to look like bricks from a local home improvement store, and stacked them to form a faux hearth.

Another thing you might want to get if you miss the crackling noise that you can only get from a "real" fire: Crackling Fire download this to your MP3 player or burn it to a CD and play it softly in the background.

I've also uploaded a few photos.

I'm giving this a 3-star rating ("It's OK") because although I'd argue it's one of the better stoves in this class, I think this class is lousy and lacks some basic features, I guess maybe because no one would be willing to pay $300+ for an electric faux-fireplace...

I'm not really going to speak much to its heating ability because the fact is that a 1300W forced air heater is a 1300W forced air heater, regardless of the form it comes in. No space heater will give much more than 1300W because then you're into blown circuit territory.

I personally have this unit setup about 2-3' from my recliner in the living room (it's in front of my fireplace), so it is basically heating the area around my feet, I think it seems to be working well, but then I don't expect it to do much more than kick the room temp up about 1-2* higher than the central heating is set for, my room is a 15x15 room with two double-sized openings to other spaces...

Also, a word of warning that I heeded thanks to another reviewer: The first time this unit is turned on it STINKS. There is some sort of oil or something on the heating element. It gives of a distinct burning smell. Had I not already opened the windows in the room, and the adjacent room, I have no doubt my smoke detector may have gone off (which in my case means 5-6 units on all levels yelling "SMOKE DETECTED! EVACUATE! EVACUATE!" and can get really annoying very fast!!)

Pro's:

It's got a metal top/sides. It's not overly heavy, but does feel nice and solid

The "fire" effect and glowing logs are surprisingly nice

Overall appearance is quite nice

It does make some noise (the fan) but it's not loud, and it's a deep rushing noise, so it's easy to tune out

Con's:

I would have liked to see a heavier cord, 3-prong cord. With a metal body and resistive-heating elements that seems important to me

The remote will only turn the unit on/off, it will not let you change the temperature

There is no way to run the heating part w/o the fake flames (I suppose I could unscrew the light bulb...)

MOST IMPORTANT: There is no way to adjust the power consumed by the heating element (more on the below)

I used a non-contact thermometer to measure a few things for anyone interested:

Output at the grill, 250-350*F (it's HOT, you should be careful of small children around this unit, and be very careful of objects anywhere near the underside)

Floor in front of the unit, 120*F (I have the stove placed on the tile floor in front of my fireplace, there is a lot of thermal mass there... I'd be seriously hesitant to place this on a medium/deep pile carpet)

Most important: The plug/cord, 85*F (this measurement was taken after the stove was continuously heating for over FOUR HOURS. This was my biggest concern because I read another review here where someone said the cord/plug got hot to the touch--my cord/plug are not getting "hot", but they are warm. I think after four hours I've reached a steady state where it won't get any hotter, so my conclusion here is that this is not a significant problem. Tho, I would add however, that the outlet I'm plugged into is a new outlet, so it is not loose like one that is 15+ years old. You might consider replacing the outlet you plug this into if you notice your plug/cord getting more than just warm--new outlet is cheap, only a buck or two, and replacement is generally easy, everyone probably knows someone who can do it)

Here is my biggest grip about this stove, and this class of stoves in general:

This thing draws 1360W when operating w/ the heating element on... a typical 15A circuit will trip at 1800W, so there isn't much head room here. I really would have appreciated at least a 2-level heating element setting so that I could optionally run the stove at ~700W instead. I have an oil filled electric radiator with 3-element settings, it only cost $40 and has an LCD display and electronic controls... not sure why this stove at 4X the price cannot have the same.
