The unit vents out to the sides, not out the back. When you try to build a cabinet around the wine cooler, it will not reach desired temperatures due to insufficient ventilation. The units measurements in the advertisement on Amazon were also incorrect. It said it was 13" deep and 22 inches wide. Actually, it is 13 inches wide and 22 inches deep. I contacted Amazon by phone and let them know of this discrepancy.

While looking for a reasonably priced small capacity wine cooler, decided to give this one a try.

The touch panel controls and temperature control mechanisms are unreliable and I first noticed touch panel strangeness after setting it up. The touch panel was initially non functional but with some fidgeting and taps to the top door hinge and realizing there is a wiring harness under the hinge cover, the touch panel worked but remained somewhat tempermental.

The unit appears to have gotten the temperatures mixed up and ended up activating the heater to heat the wine to a nice toasty temperature of over 85 degrees. I had a separate fridge thermometer to monitor after some initial temperature variances and an overheating incident related to a power outage. Two corks popped with such great force that the door popped open and spilled wine all over the floor.

When the unit worked it was fine and temperature was cool at the 45 and 55 degree settings. However, the unit ended up overheating or activating it's heater function and cooked the wine TWICE... no more going back to amazon after 2 weeks. Look elsewhere as now I am running triage on the 18 bottles of wine to see if they are still drinkable after a cook cycle... A lesson learned while getting into the hobby of wine drinking/storage/enjoyment.

Better luck to all.

Bought this to supplement a much larger wine refrigerator out in our garage that is only used for reds...this one is for the modest number of whites that we have on hand at any given time. It looks nice in our kitchen and is very quiet. It can hold 44 degrees in the upper compartment and maintain a 10 degree difference between compartments, with the caveat that the thermoelectric cooling cannot attain a temperature that is more than 30 degrees below ambient. What that means is that this fridge is not for use in a garage that can get to 100F+, as the wines would then get above 70F (I haven't tested the heating capability, but assume it is much more capable). There were no instructions for attaching the handle, but even I was able to figure that out. :-)

Honest reviews on Spt Dual-Zone Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler with Heating, 18-Bottles

Bottom line: Do not buy this cooler. It's not worth it. The quality is horrible and it will break before a year is over.

If you still want to know why I feel this way: The top part of this "cooler" stopped working in January. I got the unit in October. The top portion "claims" to be able to cool to 44 degrees so I placed my white wine on top and the red wine on the bottom. I set the temperature to 47 but noticed recently that it was 60. Then it climbed to 70. And today was a whopping 77 degrees! It's February (read cold) and not even that warm in my house. My house is at 70 which means that the "cooler" is actually heating my wine. *horrifying* It's less of a wine cooler and more of a wine baker.

In regards to getting it fixed/replaced: The return window from Amazon has closed. They directed me to Home Depot who fulfilled the order. Home Depot did nothing to help me other than transfer me to other phone numbers/associates. The total time on hold/wait exceeded 1 hour. I finally got a hold of SPT. Their phone number is 1.800.330.0388. My problem is exacerbated by the fact that this was a gift from my wedding registry. So I had to hound my gift giver for the order information. Now SPT wants me to drive the fridge to their warehouse so they can inspect and possibly replace. Will post updates.

So I got this product and it makes a loud buzzing noise and the digital display does not work. Up to this point I have never had a problem with electronic products ordered through Amazon but I guess there is a first for everything. If you are looking for a headache and what is clearly inferior manufacturing, go with this product. Otherwise, stay away from this one...

Per the Amazon description, the purpose of this product is to bring your wine to the optimum temperature for drinking enjoyment. It does that very well.

It seems that this particular Waring model and the less expensive Waring model are getting such poor ratings due to unreasonable expectations of the raters. One of the complaints is that it takes too long to do the job. If you put a bottle of 75 F champagne in your refrigerator, it would probably take a couple of hours to bring it down to 40 F. You could put it in the freezer or an ice water bath and it would cool it much faster. But with any of these methods, how do you know when it has reached the correct temperature?

Depending on the temperature differential, it could take anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes to bring your wine to the correct temperature. You just need to plan a little bit in advance.

Yes, it is noisy. It is more annoying than loud. If your place is completely quiet, you will notice it. However, if you have some background noise such as music, you probably will not hear it.

Even if you already are using a dual-temperature wine cabinet to keep your wine, since you can only set it for two temperatures, it probably won't be at the optimum drinking temperature when you take it out. So this chiller/warmer would still be useful.

Since I own and like this product, I thought I would add my opinion to the mix. Yes, it is not the quietest appliance ever created. That's because it's not using a compressor like a fridge. The trade-off is that it's extremely energy efficient. Besides, this is a corded appliance so it's not meant to sit on your dining room table; it sits in the kitchen with your other semi-noisy food appliances.

People also complain that it's not quick to chill your wine. Well, they clearly have never owned a thermoelectric product. It's well-known that you are not supposed to put a bottle of wine kept at 70-80 Fahrenheit (in your kitchen) into a wine chiller and expect instant results. The efficiency of a thermoelectric product is based upon many factors: ambient room temperature and starting wine temperature, primarily.

First of all, wine should be kept at 45-55 Fahrenheit. That is the proper storage temperature; period. If you are not doing that already, why you would need this device is beyond me. Who cares if your wine is served at the proper temperature if you ruined it by storing it improperly? So let's say you aren't made of money, and you can only afford a 6-30 bottle wine storage fridge. You are forced to keep a case of your favorite ready-to-drink wine in the coolest part of your basement (60-65 Fahrenheit or so). 25 minutes before you need it, throw the bottle in the fridge for 10 minutes and then stick it in this puppy for the remainder. You will have your wine at the proper serving temperature in no time.

A little bit of RTFM and common sense go a long way. Don't expect miracles from a consumer level product, and you'll quickly see how to make the best use out of them. Do you really think that your favorite high-end restaurant with the visually appealing wine display has 20 of these in a back room somewhere? Of course not. They spend a pretty penny to store and serve wine at the proper temperature. Any sommelier that would allow anything else needs to be fired on the spot.

I would have maybe given this 4 stars, but clearly someone needs to give it 5 to offset reviewers with unrealistic expectations.

I have had this product for about 8 months. I have used it many times over the last 8 months. It chills the wine but It takes too long to get the wine chilled. When I use it I plan ahead and put the bottle in the refrigerator for a while then I use the wine chiller to get the wine to the recommended temperature. This cuts down on the time it takes to chill the wine. Another drawback is that the chiller is kind of noisy.

If you have pay full price for this product I might think twice about buying it.

Honest reviews on Waring Pro RPC175 Professional Wine Chiller/Warmer

As others have said, it takes forever to chill a bottle of wine. If you're like 98% of wine drinkers, you want something like this for those times when you've picked up a bottle at a store and would like to drink it soon. Based on the owner's manual, expect to chill a bottle of white for at least an hour. For champagne, expect to wait about 90 mins. A fridge or freezer will do the same work in a fraction of the time making this thing utterly pointless. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect a wine chiller to actually chill wine in under an hour.

This chiller took over 90 minutes to chill a room temperature bottle of Chardonnay to 47 degrees. That wasn't what I was looking for in a wine chiller, so I returned it. Besides the lengthy chill time, the features on the product were very cool. And yeah it is a little noisy, like a fan working hard.

Reviews of ProCom Dual Fuel Vent-Free Fireplace with Corner Conversion Kit

Customer Ratings:

The price of this vent-free fireplace is good and the mantle is very sturdy and looks great. What I don't like is the flame burns blue (I have natural gas) and looks more like a gas cooking stove than a cozy, warm fireplace. Creates no glow at all. It does warm the house quick and is very efficient.

The shipping was unpleasant, and although quick, the company would not approve a lift-gate to unload and expected me to assist the driver to unload the approx 150lb fireplace!

I'm considering a direct vent fireplace instead to have a more authentic looking flame.

Find that most of the heat does come out and up. Doesn't project too far out. Settings are nice the temperature regulation is nice if your using it in addition to a home or apartment heating system. This way it will shut off when the room gets warm enough.

I've had two of these kettles and like the design, the whistle, and the quickness with which it heats. However, both kettles eventually began to leak after a couple of years. If you buy one, I suggest making sure you pour out any remaining water once you've used it, and don't accidentally overfill. I am not sure which caused my leakage, but I'm buying another electric kettle of a different brand this time. Still for the price, I've been very happy with this kettle. It's lasted a long time, and I can afford to replace it when it's worn out.

Got for father's day, and have to say I'm disappointed in the design of the kettle and lid. It makes great popped corn, but the photos weren't very good on the Amazon site, so I bought thinking this was a higher-end model, really like the black look. The issue with the kettle is the lid on this lifts off when cooking, and rotates around until it is jammed between the two supports, a lot of kernels fall out in the process because the lid doesn't put pressure on the popped corn coming out the top. If I had to purchase again, I'd get one that has the solid lid that in hinged on each side. Solid construction, and looks great and works okay just wish design was better.

I'm still going through different brands of popcorn to find the one that I Love.

I say almost like the theater....because I have to make it myself as opposed to walking up and having it handed to me. LOL

I've tried making flavored popcorn and have had mixed results... I pop the corn first then try mixing in a large container..

Peanut Butter came out great... the Cheddar Cheese ok.. but the Caramel... not so much.. still working on it.

I would definitely recommend one of these poppers to any popcorn purist.

I only looked at others either in stores or online... and found this to be the best deal.

I like that it has a deck warmer, even though the popcorn never stays in the machine for more than an hour...LOL

I like that it is easily removed from the base and can sit on the countertop or end table.

Review of Waring Pro Countertop Portable Burner

Today's Bonus: 46% Off

I have owned single burners in the past for several reasons. They are nice to have when entertaining, especially around the holidays. Also, when I make shabu shabu, fondue, or a hot-pot dish, a tabletop burner is much nicer that using candles or alcohol-type burners.

I occasionally help out a friend at trade shows, demonstrating cooking techniques, and we always use single gas burners. I bought this one for when I need a slow, low heat for a long time. Gas burners need to have the butane canisters changed fairly often where this one plugs in and stays hot for as long as you need it. At home however, gas burners will be a great back-up during power outages where this one would be worthless.

I decided to show how this burner works by making this short video. I hope that it is helpful to you! Thanks.

EDIT: I am including this information about the boiling water demonstration by request: I used a heavy-duty anodized aluminium pan; the water was room temerature (72 degrees Fahrenheit); and the experiment was conducted at approximately 700 feet above sea level.

I have been using an Eclipse single for about 3 years now. Before that I used another Eclipse model but it finally quit working. Recently my latest Eclipse started acting funny and so I thought it was time to fund a replacement and while I was at it, I thought I would try to find a higher quality unit. The Waring SB30 was well rated and not too expensive, so I grabbed one.

My initial take on the SB30 was that it was very well built and sturdy. This is a great improvement over the Eclipse burners I have used in the past. My only complaint is that cord is fairly short, maybe 3ft long. The knob has a very nice and smooth action to it. The base is rather large but it is very stable with an 8qt stock pot on it, so I guess I can't complain too much about that. The burner weighs a lot. I believe most of that weight is from the metal burner itself. More on this later on.

I use this burner as my main burner as I live in a rental and the range is not so good. The burner heats up a little slow but transfers that heat to the pan very quickly. I believe this is because the burner has a lot of metal in it and that allows it to store a lot of heat. This is a very good thing for boiling water and sauteing but not such a good thing for cooking touchier foods like milk and sauces.

ONE YEAR UPDATE: The SB30 has performed great over the past year. I have not had a single problem with the burner, it looks and works like new. All in all I am very happy with it.

I can't begin to say how THRILLED I am with this unit.It is, simply, the BEST, PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL QUALITY unit you can find. I've had other, non-professional units--which never heat hot enough--which causes sticking-and soon stop working. The extra $$ for this unit are worth every penny.I had given up on others-and this was my last resort. These burners heat and stay HOT for even cooking and frying. I use this double burner ALL THE TIME for all types of stove cooking-in place of of my regular stove-which had died. I didn't want to purchase another stove now because we'll soon be moving. ( It does take a minute or so to heat up--not a fault--it's in the construction--because once it does reach

the temperature level you want--IT STAYS hot at that temperature.)This is the ONLY unit which gets hot enough to BOIL WATER and COOK PASTA --in a BIG POT, too--because large burner IS large....and QUICKLY.All the other units NEVER reach boiling temperature.This is because it's 1500. I, also, recommend this flat surface over the raised burner grids--which are hard to clean. These flat surfaces clean instantly. REAL metal-not plastic and substitute stuff--for easy cleaning and quality appearance. When we move and have a stove, again, I know we'll continue to use this

as an extra burner . This is the ONLY unit I would recommend over all those cheapie ones--whether they cost little or a lot.I don't write reviews very often-but just had to share and praise this one.

This is the second identical unit I've owned. The first one worked fine for about 6-8 months, then the temperature knob stopped working and I could only use it for 100% hot (5 on the knob) or nothing at all. Then it stopped working altogether.

The most recent one had a problem the second time I used it. I was cooking poached eggs and some water boiled over the pan. The burner shot sparks about 2 feet out the side and burned my wooden counter, smoked, and shot out another big spark before blowing out the electrical breaker. The company should look into these issues and fix them. The second one could have been really dangerous.

Bought this Fridge for my camper van and it's awesome. It is quiet while it is running and is well insulated.

The price for the 63qt is great. I couldn't be happier. It is similar to the Whytner/EdgeStar/whatever clones but with a better controller board and some added features... Build quality and materials are top knotch. The wireless remote temp and voltage monitoring is cool and works well, no one else has this. Current consumption while the compressor is running is around 5.5 amps but seems to keep the heat out well. My testing was brief but seemed to indicate that the claimed hourly average current consumnption is possible (fully loaded cool day in the shade) I will update the review after some long term testing. Went with 4 stars since there are more efficient compressors out there like in the Engel/ARB/NationalLuna price bracket. For this price range I say it is top shelf. Only time will tell if it can stand up over the long term.
