Discount Duraflame Roasting Logs 6-Pack 5LB Firelog Bundles

Customer Ratings:

I have used the regular Duraflame logs for years in fireplaces (crackle logs, color logs,...). When I was younger, I used to burn 2 or three at a time to get a really big fire going, it was a pretty expensive habit. I just tried these by accident since this was the only type of logs in a box left at Giant. Now that I have kids, a mortgage, you get it, at roughly 6 dollars a log I do think about the cost. I like Duraflame because they burn clean, don't introduce termites and other bugs, and get the job done.

Here is what I really like about these logs. If you burn four of them, basically a bundle, the fire is huge as in "I hope my fireplace is up for this" huge. It will impress. The fire puts out a lot of heat. Much more then the standard 5 lb log but not as long. It burns stronger and faster. The bigger longs burn slower, but really sort of die down after an hour and a half. Theses are about done at that time, but you got a much bigger fire. The big news is that if you burn one at a time you still get a nice fire two and you get basically the same fire as the 5 lb logs just for a shorter time frame. So basically, you get more fires per set if you live with shorter flame life or the need to put more logs on. The added bonus of cooking marshmallows just makes it all that much better.

The fact they they are done faster means you can clean up faster too. This is especially true if you let the fire burn out and don't use water to kill the fire. If you want a longer fire just put another log on, there is just more control.

I will buy these over the standard logs in the future because they are simply more fun and manageable. I highly recommend them and Duraflame products in general. In twenty years, I have never had a problem with their products.

I was hesitant about ordering these as I had foolishly purchased another brand of fire log to use in our new outdoor fire pit and discovered that they could not be used to roast marshmallows over. I was remiss in not checking the other fire log packaging where it did mention not to use in a barbecue setting. Of course I discovered this only after we cooked marshmallows over it and it made them taste like they'd been dipped in chemicals blech.

Well, the only reason our fire pit exists is to make s'mores and roast marshmallows! I was happy to have found these and ally hoped they would fit the bill. We have had two fires using the logs so far and are quite satisfied.

The "logs" come in 5lb packs, each pack contains 4 12"L x 4"W (approximate) "sticks". Each stick lasted about 45 minutes or so for us. A perfect length of time for our two children to roast their marshmallows. The entire package says it lasts about 2 hours however we got quite a bit longer than that out of them. It is wonderful to be able to use only what we needed to and be able to save the rest. There was a slight odor of charcoal and almost no smoke. It definitely does not bother my sinuses or eyes nearly as much as a regular wood fire does. It put out a good amount of heat as well. One trick when lighting the "sticks" is to use only one or two at a time and add more as you need them and light both ends well and be patient. Also, you do not need any other fuel with these. If you add wood it will smoke and smell like a regular fire. Not bad but wholly unnecessary. It leaves no more ash behind than a regular wood fire however, we did make sure to soak it thoroughly with water before going inside. The other 3-hour fire logs we purchased stayed hot for many hours after we had soaked it and that made us nervous. We had read of people seeing them re light even days after they were supposedly put out. These individually packaged "sticks" are small enough that they don't hold the heat after a good soaking. If you want the ease of use and convenience of fire logs and you want to be able to eat the food you cook over it without poisoning yourself these are definitely the way to go!

Tried a few different firestarters for my living room fire place. These heat up very quickly which gets my chimney cooking and the result is very little to no smoke in the house when starting a fire (I use these to start a few real logs and they work consistently well though not recommended unless you know what you are doing, stick around incase anything pops out of the fireplace (or use a grate). My wife and I love em, will buy them again and again (when they are priced around 30-35 a box), over that its cheaper just to get them from the grocery store.

This was great. I lived in an apartment when I got this and it was nice to have something handy and not as overpriced as some of the other products out there. The "logs" are actually several pieces so you can have shorter burning if you want.

I actually use these in my pizza oven (as an aid to get the "real" wood started. It works well and quickens the process of getting the fire started and keeping it going.

We use in our central Florida enclosed lanai area to take chill off a winter morning. Looks like a more expensive unit except for one small log. A challenge to assemble. A couple pieces required drilling and instructions on which screws to use were not real clear. Tough to line up last few screws. Best buy amongst all reviewed though.

I had been looking for a good raclette grill for sometime, after using several different styles at friends and families homes, I saw this one on Amazon. It arrived intact with all the necessary parts and is very easy to use. The grill top reverses to a crape grill which is also fun.

I recommend this particular grill above others I have used for several reasons. First, it can accomodate 8 people, while many grills max out at 6. Second, it has an adjustable temperature. We generally start out at a higher temperature then when everyone has slowed down and wants to eat slowly and talk I adjust the temperature down. Third, the grill is easy to clean. Its non-stick surface easily wipes off. I would advise to only use the included scrapers on the non-stick surface, if it gets scratched it will not be as easy to use. And fourth, it is very sturdy. This is a solidly built grill and looks great on the table. It is a little more money than some other models, but if you want to use it for years I would definately invest in the better grill.

I have a love for swiss food ever since I came back from Australia and missed my favorite Swiss Restaurant called Kellers. I heard about these Raclette grills from an officemate who used to live in Switzerland. Let me tell you it might seem like a complex item but it truly isn't. It is good for so many uses because it is a grill and broiler in one. On Saturday I go to the store and buy different fresh veggies, french bread, and meats. I marinate the meats and put them in the freezer and fridge. I usually do this in no more than an hour. Then every night after work my husband and I and any guests that might be visiting pull all of these out of the fridge and freezer and grill up whatever we want. Everyone can have the same thing or they can fix their own dishes using all the items you have out. Your options are limitless. We have made kabobs, sandwhiches, stir fry's, potatoes, omlettes, garlic bread, pizza, pretty much everything. Clean up is very simple you just clean the top grill plate and any raclette dishes you used. We keep the grill out on our table for every meal and saves me from standing on my feet all afternoon over a hot stove. Which can be very hard when you have come home late from working a long day! I also have a picky husband and this is a great way for us each to have whatever we want cooked the exact way we want it cooked.

I know and love raclette dinners from my home country Germany, so I was happy to find some that will work in the US. I tried to find out what the dimensions of the raclettes offered are, but without success. There was no answer to get anywhere. The dimensions listed on this page are obviously bogus, Amazon can not be contacted and Swissmar doesn't answer to emails. So finally I decided to just order one and was really disappointed: this raclette is much smaller than the raclettes I'm used to from home. The size of the grill plate is just 24 cm x 36 cm. The dishes are just 8.5 x 8.5 cm. The dishes are all lined up to the two sites, you can't turn the handles of the ones at the end to the front sides. If you sit around a rectangular table, the guests at the front ends of the table will have trouble to reach theirs. This raclette might work for 4 persons but is not suitable for 8 as normal European raclettes are.

We are having a lot of fun with this grill.

This grill is great fun for dinner parties. I have now thrown 4 dinner parties using it from basic grilling to fajitas. I plan to try the round side of the grill next for dessert crepes. Traditional raclette is cheese melted in the drawers, with pickles and cold meats. I also use it as a party activity for more healthy fare by offering a variety of marinated vegetables portobello mushrooms marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, garlic and red pepper is my favorite. I've grilled shrimp, asparagus, onions, chicken, tofu, bell peppers, sausages, sliced potatoes (I boil them a bit first.) Then I put out sauces for people to dip into as well.

I find it helps break the ice with guests who don't know one another so well, as they can talk about the grilling, etc.

My one complaint is that it would be hard for eight people to use, the most I have used it for now is six, but it worked really well for six. The adjustable heating works really nicely.

If you're looking for something new and fun, I highly recommend it. It is great for dinner parties and book club meetings (everyone can bring something to grill.)

I bought this Raclette grill for my wife thinking that it would just be another kitchen gadget that we never used. Wow, what a great way to have an intimate dinner. It's perfect to enjoy a relaxing meal with 2-4 adults. I guess you could entertain a larger group if you don't mind getting your fixins close to each other! If you're use to eating a fast meal in front of the TV then you should try raclette. It really makes you slow down and enjoy the meal.

We bought some very inexpensive miniature wooden tongs from a Chinese supply store that work very well for taking your food on and off the grill surface. I had to subtract a star just because calling it an 8 person grill is a bit of a stretch.

I bought 3 of these units at $500 each. 2 of them ceased working within a week. No help from the help line. OK, try to pack them back up again and lug them back to the store, or ship them. The third one does come on, but the tiny water reservoir fills immediately and is difficult and time-consuming to empty.

this is a very badly designed and thought-out product. I wish I'd never laid eyes on it. I've never been so disgusted with anything I've bought ever. Save yourself. Do not even consider this item. It does not work.

I used to do Air conditioning and Heating for a living so I know very well what I am talking about. For many years now I have a different career. I recently bought a house that was missing its central heat and AC air unit. My mom intending to be sweet and wanting to help out bought me a moving in gift which is this DeLonghi PACN130HPE. She forgets I am a expert in AC as I lived out of state while in that career.

Upon opening the box I immediately became suspicious of its advertised cooling capacities. I instantly knew that in order for it to accomplish its claims, it would have to have two ventilation hoses to an outside window. 1 a fresh air intake hose. And 2 a heat exhaust hose. But it only came with the capacity to handle one hose only which is the heat exhaust hose.

Let me explain Air conditioning principles of operation. There are two primary components of moving heat from the inside of a building to the outside of a building so you are left with a cool interior. One is an evaporator and the other is a condenser.

The evaporator is made cold by the incoming Freon/refrigerant. Warm humid interior air is drawn into the evaporator where it becomes cold and dryer and is then blown out the other/exhaust side of the evaporator as cool air. The heat and moisture/humidity that had been in the incoming air is removed and transferred into the refrigerant as the now cool dry air leaves the exhaust side of the evaporator and is blown back into the room for your enjoyment.

Now the refrigerant has picked up the heat and humidity and must take it somewhere to dump the heat as it becomes cool again so it can continue in its continuous circle loop endlessly. Always picking up heat, moving it, dumping it and coming back to the front of the loop to do it all over again as long as a AC unit is running.

Now comes the condenser. The condenser receives this hot refrigerant as air is blown thru the condenser. Outside air of maybe a 100 degrees enters the condenser and picks up the heat from the refrigerant and is blown back to the outside much hotter than it entered. Around 120 degrees. NOTE: The outside heat and humidity and moisture do go through the condenser but never actually enters the interior of your room in a normal AC unit.

Your interior air is constantly being recycled inside the room thru the evaporator becoming cooler and dryer. Unfortunately ALL homes leak. They let in moisture and heat so you have a constant daily battle of throwing them back outside where it leaked in from. It would be sweet if homes did not leak as you could run your AC for a couple of days and then be good for the rest of the year not needing any more AC. But that is not the case. AC units merely keep up with the rate of leak in so you can stay 15-30 degrees ahead of the game.

You probably want your interior room temperature to stay in the vicinity of 70-80 degrees. So you never want hot humid outside air of 100 degrees entering your home or you might as well just open all your windows.

Here is the problem with DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC units. They do not use outside air to blow through the condenser to pick up the heat from the refrigerant and then take the heat outside to dump it. It uses your interior air to carry the heat outside and dump it. In order for your interior air to be exhausted outside with the heat, air must be entering your home and room from another area to be replacing what is being blown outside. You cannot be continuously removing air from a container unless somewhere else you're letting air back into the container.

So while it is using your inside room air to carry the heat outside, somewhere else in your home hot humid air is re-entering your home to compensate for the air that is constantly being thrown out. Now nearly as fast as your dumping the heat and humidity outside away from you, in another area of the home hot moist air is being sucked back into the house almost as fast as your dumping it out of the house.

While that one room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in is feeling cooler, the other areas of your home are feeling warmer as hot moist air is literally being sucked in at an equal rate that is being thrown out of the one room with the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit.

So the evaporator is blowing 13,000 BTU's of cool into the room the DeLonghi PACN130HPE AC unit is in, but the outside air being sucked into the house is immediately bringing 5,000 BTU's of heat and moist air back in at the same time. That is a HUGE loss that must be applied against the cool claims to determine the real gain your left with.

DeLonghi PACN130HPE does not tell you about the simultaneous losses but only about the claimed gains which are not even close to being accurate by the time you figure in all the other secret factors they don't want you to know about.

I actually tested this by replacing the DeLonghi PACN130HPE with some widow units I had to see what the real gains were. My 5,000 BTU window AC unit did not cool the room as much as the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU's claimed did. But it did dry the room better as it was not sucking in wet moist air.

However when I placed my 8,000 BTU window unit in the room, it did deliver the same amount of cooling as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did, but still I gained the advantage from my window unit that the humidity level dropped much lower so it still felt even much better.

While the DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit did cool the room as much as my 8,000 BTU window unit did, it could not remove nearly as much humidity because the DeLonghi PACN130HPE is always sucking in wet moist air continuously. My window units did not do that. Besides my 8,000 BTU unit cooling the room exactly as much as DeLonghi PACN130HPE 13,000 BTU unit, I was much further ahead of the game by the fact the room was dry and not humid/muggy as had the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had made it.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did surprisingly little to remove the humidity from the room because it was constantly replacing the humidity through the incoming air. Its gains were constantly being eroded away by the constant losses.

Removing humidity from the room and removing it from the air is not the same things. The outside air may have a 80% humidity level. That is very sticky and muggy. You want the inside air below a 30% humidity level to feel very comfortable with. The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did remove humidity from the air but did not remove it from the room because the moisture being removed the air was being replaced at a equivalent level by in incoming air the DeLonghi PACN130HPE had to suck back into the room as it used room air to carry the heat and humidity it captured back outside. So as fast as it threw humidity outside it was sucking it back into the home at the same rate so there never was a drop in the room humidity level.

Be aware of what they won't tell you.

Another fact I did not like about the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it took up significant floor space in my room making it look and feel even more crowded. I would much rather have a window unit that uses 70% less electricity than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE as it does so much better at making the room more comfortable and humid free. My 8,000 BTU window unit for $300did a better job than DeLonghi PACN130HPE for $500as it uses 70% less electricity.

The advantage of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE was that it easily rolled around from room to room and in 60 seconds could be connected to virtually any window for quick temporary very inefficient cooling. I will say inefficient cooling is still much better than no cooling. I almost kept the DeLonghi PACN130HPE because I have another mobile home that needs remodeling and the DeLonghi PACN130HPE would be super quick and easy to set up in whatever room I happened to be working in that particular day, and then move it to another room the next day. My 8,000 BTU window unit takes 5 minutes to set up in any particular room. It weighs 40 pounds and does not roll around so I have to carry it from window to window. So what?

The advantages of the DeLonghi PACN130HPE were not large enough to justify keeping it for short term temporary cooling so I took it back to Lowes and traded it in for a 24,000 BTU window unit that really kicks ass for the same exact money. My 24,000 BTU window unit gives me 300% more cooling than the DeLonghi PACN130HPE does.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE did have a good digital thermostat that held the room temp even without much fluctuation. It was attractive looking for what it was, a floor space user upper.

The DeLonghi PACN130HPE was not a total flop, but it was a far cry from what they claim and advertise it to be. Matter of fact, it was so far from the truth that I call it a gimmick and fake AC unit. Hope this helps you.

I would say this has the cooling capacity of a 4,000 btu unit... No where near worth the expense of running a (supposed) 14,000 btu AC.

The room stays warm and even with the temp outside at 80 the room never get lower than 75... It's going back to the store for a window unit.

(Update) Keep in mind this is a 14,000 Btu unit.... I just replaced it with a 12,000 BTU window AC and the room temp difference is huge. I wish this unit had worked.. It seems like a great idea... But it needs a redesign.

Sunbeam SLP3300-UM Low Profile Heater with Adjustable Thermostat Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This heater works fine if you have a small room to heat and have a couple hours to wait for it to make a difference. I should have done more research and learned what convection heating (like this one) is all about. There is no warm air that blows from the heater unit, rather it just gets hot and the warm air rises from it. If you are looking for faster and more directed heat...I suggest a heater with a built-in fan.

Because the digital sister model SLP3310 would not work with a timer, I returned the 3310 to the big box store where I bought it and bought on-line 2 of the SLP3300 for $60 each & free shipping. The 3300 is analog, with 2 rotary dials. The 3300 will come back on after a power outage, and it will work with a 3-prong, 1875 watt timer. I use the 'low' heat setting with the thermostat on a modest setting, in a 12 x 14 foot room with 8 foot ceilings, and it keeps my (well insulated) bedroom very, very comfortable. Although Sunbeam has a lousy reputation in electric blankets, this 3300 heater appears well made. Note, the 'high' setting could burn paint off a wall if positioned too close.

I bought this unit last year and it stopped working after a few months. You turn it on, it heats up for 3 minutes then shuts down. Save your money, buy something else, this product seems to have a high failure rate from what I have read online.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam SLP3300-UM Low Profile Heater with Adjustable Thermostat

I bought one of these a little over a year ago. I didn't use it that much, but after the warranty (1 yr.) ran out, it stopped working. They sent out another one (to Sunbeam's credit), but it worked for about 8-10 hours then stopped. This is an example of too much tech for a simple product.

I took it apart to see if I could wire it back together and bypass the electronics. This one had already been worked on. The solder joint for the power cord was loose from the circuit board.

Threw it away and bought some Pelonis oil-filled space heaters. Rock solid.

We tend to keep our central heating set pretty low (65 during the day, 61 overnight), but we have a newborn so we wanted to keep one of the rooms really warm. This unit does a good job of keeping a 14x12 ft. room warm during the day and overnight. As the other reviews say, it doesn't heat up a cold room very quickly, but it does a good job of maintaining a temperature once it get to its target temp.

pro: it seems to do a good job maintaing a temperature once you figure out the right dial positions. It doesn't keep swinging between too cold and too hot.

cons:

1. No temperature degrees markings I'd really prefer to be able to turn the dial to 70 degrees and know that it'll shut off at 70. The way it is now, I had to turn the dial all the way up, wait for the room to get too hot, turn it down a little, then a little more, etc. until it finally kept the room at a comfortable temperature.

2. Timer it'd be nice if it had a built in timer so it would turn on/off at preset times. Right now we just have to switch it off and then *hope* we remember to switch it on a few hours before we want the room to be warm.

Having read some negative reviews prior to purchase, I questioned the wisdom of ordering the Sure Mountain Natural Gas burner. It arrived intact, with no damage to the ceramic logs. I uninstalled my non-functioning gas logs and in less than one hour had the new unit unpacked, installed, tested for gas leaks, and operating.

It does have a whistling sound when the burner is turned to the highest setting, but at that setting the amount of heat produced is more than I want. At the lowest setting it produces more heat than the previous gas logs we were using.

I was slightly disappointed when I received it. It was much smaller than I expected. I read the descripion several times, but it just doesnt look the same as the picture, I wish I would have spent a little more and bought on with more logs. That being said, I did keep it and installed it with no problem. It works well and Iwe have grown used to it. Once we added a screen door to our fireplace, we like it much better. It does a fine job and does put out good heat. It warms out living and dinning area in about 15 minutes on a cold morning on low setting. I think that having a screen in front of it made us forget about it and just start enjoying it.

I have just arranged to return this set to Amazon. Despite repeated attempts by ourselves and later by a plumber, we could not get the burner to light. We checked the gas line to the fireplace and the gas pressure. No problem with either. We also checked all of the fittings. The pilot lit okay and burned with a steady blue flame, so we know that gas was reaching the burner. The problem was likely the regulator, but I refused to pay any more money than I already had to try and fix it. Amazon will refund my purchase price, but the initial savings on the item was eaten up by the extra cost of a plumber. I considered asking for a replacement, but really don't want to take another chance on a product from this manufacturer. The picture looks nice. Shame I can't tell you that it actually looks that good when burning in the fireplace.

I live in a studio apartment where a 10,000-BTU a/c handles most of the cooling.

Unfortunately, the cold air doesn't quite reach the bathroom, around a corner through an alcove.

So for many years I have had a Slant/Fin Personal Zone Air Cooler perched on the window sill in there (it's a pre-war building with windows in the bathrooms), pointed down at me when I'm, uh, reading...

The S/F finally conked -the motor gave out, and water leaked through the water level indicator window -so I was looking for a compact air cooler to fit in the bathroom. S/F no longer makes air coolers, apparently.

Enter this unusual tower, which looks rather like one might expect Dr. Who's nemesis, a Dalek, to look like if the cyborg slimmed down and became a fashion model... Like a Dalek, this tower rolls around on casters, but it lacks a plunger or exterminator ray!

Goodness, but this Dalek blows a gust of cool air! If you used this just as a tower fan, it seems to blow more air at the highest of three fan speed settings than any tower fan I've ever encountered -strong enough to make a plastic bottle of dental solution wobble on the bathtub rim three or four feet away!

But things get even cooler when you push the Cool button, activating a water pump that moistens a sponge-like wick through which air blows inside the tower. You add water to the reservoir that slides back from the base of the tower; the tower also comes with two ice packs you can chill in your freezer and slide into compartments in the water reservoir, yielding extra cool air for up to four hours, according to the instructions.

Other functions include a timer for automatic shut-off, side-to-side oscillation, a sleep mode that throttles down as the night air cools off while you sleep, and a "natural" mode, which randomly changes fan speed to simulate real breezes.

I am impressed by the manufacturer's attention to detail here. When you push a button, for example, the control lights get brighter, then dim after a few minutes. The tower also comes with a handy remote, duplicating all functions on the top switch panel. And the tower includes a washable air filter to keep the wick from getting gunked up by dust in the air.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether I will need to add some bleach to the water to prevent the fetid smells most coolers and humidifiers give off over time. The instructions don't address this issue. I can't imagine that the wick is treated with a germ-retardant that will continue to work after weeks and months.

In the meantime, however, this tower of power is sure keeping my bathroom cool and comfortable! The tower would probably work in any setting where you are within a fiveor six-foot radius. I should mention as well that the fan is quiet, even at the highest setting.

I will report back if I encounter any problems. Until then, I am impressed by the amount of cooling this tower provides, running on less energy than an incandescent light bulb consumes...

PROS:

* Tower form uses minimal floor space.

* Quiet in operation.

* Powerful fan.

* Swing mode disperses cool air.

* Several operating modes.

* Easy to maintain.

* Freezer packs for extra cooling.

* Remote control duplicates all functions.

* Minimum energy consumption.

* Casters enable easy re-positioning.

CONS:

* So far, haven't found any.

Honest reviews on Luma Comfort EC45S Tower Evaporative Cooler with 125 Square Foot

The huge tree that used to shade my house was taken down this Spring. I bought this evaporative cooler to help with the increased heat. Last week we had 3 days of 100 degrees in a row. At 4pm on the third day the house was 76 degrees, which I think is success. The water holding tank is a little difficult to pull out to fill, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Warning though, only good in low humidity climates. I could feel a rise is humidity in the room, which in Colorado is almost welcomed. This unit is good for small areas. I like the sleek non-bulky look. It is quiet enough.

This didn't even come close to doing what it says. If anything it made the room hotter!

I would not recommend this to anyone.

Review of Sierra-EasyFire 4001B1 Pellet Insert Heater w/Battery Back

Customer Ratings:

I bought one of these in 2008 did not even make it through the first season before issues that shut unit down. Very little help from factory. Finally got parts to get operable. Would run great when it ran, problem is it seldom ran. I agreed with factory to purchase another unit at a discounted price, continued to have problems with new unit and kept getting run around. Factory would send parts, would then work until next part broke. Have never made it through a season without unit in failure at least part of the season. Unit down for about 2.5 months during this heating season. Finally got part and put it in only to find several other issues with unit. After spending a considerable amount of money on unit and many hours attempting to make it run, I quit. Unit is going to the trash. I highly recommend that no one buy this product it is piece of garbage prone to break down and cause considerable frustration and many cold nights. I can not repeat enough times DO NOT BUY UNIT not even remotely worth the cost. I rated it one star only because the review would not accept comments without it.

I bought my EasyFire model 3801AF in 2008 and have used it since with very few problems.It has required one repair: broken weld on the feed disk, which with the factory customer service reps help was quickly replaced. I have added a battery backup to keep it running in case of power outages and has functioned perfectly in the 2 times that has happened. I keep a stock of some parts that I might need for repairs ( but have not neededyet) just in case--brushes for the 2 motors, a spare auger and feed motor gasket. Other than that I just keep it up as per the instruction. I can't explain why some are having trouble with their heaters but mine has worked well.

I purchased the Sierra Easy Fire Pellet Stove direct from Sierra Products about 4 years ago. So it may be an older model than the one they are selling here. The original feeder motor broke just after the warranty period had ended. I have purchased several since then. The feeder motors seem to always break just after the warranty period is over. I replaced one last year, the factory sent me the wrong one and after they finally sent me the right one it did not even last the season. They also sold me a repair kit to keep sawdust out of the motor, it fell part and did nothing. I am not purchasing any more parts for this stove. That is not the only problem with this stove and I would definitely recommend that you do your homework before buying any Sierra Easy Fire Wood pellet stove.

Honest reviews on Sierra-EasyFire 4001B1 Pellet Insert Heater w/Battery Back

Have had the stove for a few years now, first year was fine, second year had a fire in the back of the stove where the fan is due to saw dust dropping from the hopper into the back. Then the ignitor went out. Now the thing is having an issue where it will start and run fine for about 15mins or so then stop feeding the pellets. Cleaned everything really good and still doing it. Replaced the T1/T2 sensors and still seeing the issue. Is probably the main circuit board, but haven't replaced it yet since it's around $300. Wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't purchase another one. Plan to go solar and use electric heat eventually. :)

Purchased a Sierra Easy Fire 4001 Pellet insert in 2008. While the unit works fine when it works-the problem is it rarely works. From day one the ignitor would not work, the battery back up system stopped working. The motor brushes constantly need to be replaced and/or cleaned. Now in 5th season unit is malfunctioning and pellets do not feed correctly causing unit to shut down.I am constantly researching product support files to troubleshoot problems. Since I purchased unit online there is no local dealer for servicing. Company cannot/will not provide tech support to fix problems. Looked like a great and reliable product on line and on Sierras website but simply would not purchase this companys product again.

The Bon Home Heat Lamp is not worth your time. We wanted this to work so badly because we have pizza parties quite often and thought this would make a great addition to those. Didn't heat up even enough to be hot on my hand. And the unit kept tipping forward when we adjusted the light angle/distance from food. I do not recommend this produt.

As a previous 3-star reviewer said, a majority of the 5-star reviews are questionable. Most of them have no other reviews but a single review for this heat lamp. I purchased this heat lamp regardless of my skepticism and the heat generated is no more than a 60 watt light bulb. My plan was to keep a Turkey warm for the night. This lamp has no impact. I'm returning tomorrow.

This heat lamp consumes 200w but most of the energy is convection (heat the air around it) and conduction (heat by contact). There is very little infrared heat which can be focused by the parabola in the forward direction. As a result you must use it at no more than ten inches away. So you can keep warm a very small dish of food. There is a lot of heat in the form of hot air escaping thru the vents on top and the "cup" like shield gets very hot.

On the other hand, you can use this heat lamp as a very small room heater if your electrical wiring cannot handle a regular full size 1200-1500w heater.

Honest reviews on Bon Home HL100SV Culinary Heat Lamp

I've been buying stuff on Amazon.com for 4+ years. This is the first product that compelled me to write a review.

This product sucks and there is no way to avoid that with product liability lawyers involved. The R&D engineers likely started out with a good intentions, but they got slapped down by the lawyers. The manufacturer was forced to diminish the heat output / fire causing potential to the point that this product is virtually worthless.

If you angle the lamp so that the upper arm is completely horizontal you will get an 8" 9" heated area below. I had the lamp on for 45 minutes and it never gets that hot. The high angle shown in the advertisement won't heat up anything except the air directly around the heating element. You could get your food hotter using a cheap plastic handheld hair dryer from a drugstore.

If you want something to keep your pre-cooked chicken wings slightly hot for your drunken friends this thing may do the trick if they are drunk enough. If your guests aren't drunk, forget about it.

UPDATE April, 23 2013: I can't believe that people are still buying this product. STOP IT, IT'S JUNK. If you are hell bent on giving away your money for nothing in return, send it to me. I will send you a nice thank you letter than will give you a warm fuzzy feeling. My letter will give you more warmth than this piece of crap.

First of all it burned out after about 3 weeks.

Secondary... it's so heavy that for a none athletic woman would be a problem to move it (about 20lb).

I was laughing to tears when I start using it it's such a great idea, and such an idiotic execution of it. What a shame.

But the most interesting part is that takes about 15 min to warm up the element itself, then + about 30 min to warm your food (don't forget its 300watt). It will dry inside out your pizza or what have you "cooking";))) Well, can they at list put instead of hitting coiled wires some hitting lamp? Halogen or Quartz lamp of this power would warm up food in seconds ...Plus what they were thinking = there is no timer ,no temp. adjustment control...

OK, maybe in the next Century we gonna see this idea will be realized.

Reviews of 10 Cup High Speed Intellichef Coffee Maker by Cook Essentials

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99

After several happy years with my Bunn (10 cup/thermal carafe) coffee maker, it started leaking if multiple pots were brewed in a day. While comparing prices of other 'rapid' brew drip coffeemakers, found the low price of the Cook Essentials Intellichef Coffee Maker too low to resist. After initial set-up, the first pot brewed a full 10-cups in under 5 minutes. In addition to being spoiled by the rapid brew cycle of the Bunn, the temperature and flavor (regardless of brand of ground coffee) was always superior to Mr Coffee, Deloghni or Black & Decker brewers purchased and then given away. This unit seems to be well constructed and offers a sleek design. At 14 1/2" tall, easily accessible for adding water without moving the unit from under wall cabinet above countertop placement.

3rd pot brewed on Day 1. Consistent brew time, (very hot) temperature and (bold) flavor. Pleased to be sure. I typically brew between 2-3 pots per day during the week, and 4 or more per day on weekend lots of coffee drinking visitors. I will update at some point in the futre as to continued performance and satisfaction. Basic fact, at this unit's price, I can buy 5 of these units and just equal the best price I found for replacing my beloved Bunn. Using that price point logic, no complaints if this unit lasts at least nine months before a replacement should be necessary. Since there is a 1 year warranty, hopefully, a non-issue.

Makes good coffee, but misses some essential functions to make it more user friendly and if for whatever reason the power goes out you have guarantee no coffee in the morning because even if the power goes back on it doesn't switch on the coffee maker so you'll have to wait a minimum of 20 minutes. You can't pull out the coffee carafe while it's brewing because it misses a simple stop drip feature and the heating plate under the carafe seems to burn the coffee in the carafe fast.

The noise from the reheating of the water was annoying, but I could live with it to get a hot cup of coffee fast. No more. Less than 2 months after putting it in operation, both heating elements quit working. Never again for this brand

I guess you get what you pay for...but I just wanted the ambience of a "flame" in my living room. The heat is a bonus. I was replacing a previous electric fireplace. The flame "effect" has already stopped working, and I've only had it for about a month or so. If I "bang" on the back of it, the flame tries to work, but makes a grinding noise and quits again. My advice is to spend more money and get something a bit better than this.

I purchased this item on Sunday afternoon and it arrived via UPS ground this morning (Wed). I noticed instantly that the unit does not resemble the online or box photo. The handle is very shiny brass and the front door is shiny plastic (like a child's cheap toy#. The rest of the unit is made of thin, shiny metal #again, like a child's toy#. The legs are platic. It took about ten minutes to remove from the box and screw in the legs. It turned on instantly and has been running since #for about two hours). It makes more noise than I had anticipated but it's not overpowering. I am rating this four stars because I have no previous experience with electric fireplaces and I am not sure how what I have described compares with other units. If you are looking for an affordable, small, ambient, supplemental heat source that looks nice from across the room then buy this unit. If you are looking for something substantial or authentic, you will be disappointed.

This small stove looks nice, but is very cheaply built. When you open the front door, the plastic bends almost to the point of breaking just to overcome the magnet that holds it shut. The fan is very noisy sometimes, other times it's quiet. The bearings act like they were going out from day one. The flames work.....sometimes. If they don't move, bang the sides and they usually take off. I should have sent this back, but it really wasn't worth the effort after assembling it.

This stove has a great flame and has a more rustic style than other stoves we looked at. It is a excellent heater for a smaller room or apartment.

I just received my new stove today. I love this thing! It is a great size and the "flames" are more realistic than I thought they'd be. The glowing embers/logs also look very good. You could never mistake the burning effect for a real fire, but it looks much nicer than I ever thought it would and it provides great ambiance.

The heater also works very well. The best surprise of all is how quiet it is. You can hear the heater when it is on, but it is far from intrusive. It is completely quiet when the heater is not turned on.

When I first turned the unit on the flame effect was quite noisy. I tightened some screws that obviously loosened during shipping. Now it is as quiet as a church mouse.

You should be aware, however, that the stove doesn't look matte black like in the pictures. It is a gloss black, and the the handle is shiny brass. I like it better this way, though. It resembles one of those beautiful enamel wood stoves.

All in all, this was a great purchase. If you are on the fence I wouldn't hesitate, Amazon has a great return policy if you don't like it.

I would give this piece of junk 0 stars, but you have to give it one. It worked for about a month of light use, and then it stopped. I called customer service at the company (KAZ/HONEYWELL), and all they would do is allow ME to pay $10 to ship the piece of junk back to them! So now I've paid twice. DON'T BUY IT!!!

There is not enough air flow to keepp the heater cool. It gets hot enough to seriously burn a child or pet (or me).

I returned it.
