I have a furnace heat register under my desk that always starts with cooler air before the warm comes out. When the furnace isn't running, my feet get cold and uncomfortable. This was the perfect size for me to use under my desk to keep that space warm (and it radiates up to my hands as well since it really gets my general work area warm.

This is not a huge direct heat product. I've used a heat dish which could almost give you sunburn. This is perfect for getting the chill out of the air without using up a lot of energy. I calculated it to cost about 26 cents a day if you run it for 10 hours (which I don't).

It does have a shut off if it gets too hot (according to the directions) but it looses a star for not having a shut off if it tips over. I don't want to test it out but if it gets knocked over with the heat face down, I'd be afraid of something burning before it could shut off.

Overall, a great little solution for any cold spot.

We use this device to control a furnace rated gas fireplace. It operates on battery as opposed to 110 volt wall current and that is a real plus when there is a power outage. Recently we purchased a second one of these devices based on two years of success with the first device. The second device operates a fireplace at a vacation home that is subject to power outages. Because it can be set to monitor the temperature and operate the fireplace without 110 volt current, it provides a backup heat source when the power is out and the temperatures are below freezing. This is important for a vacant home and it is helpful when the home is occupied. Be aware though that the fan on the fireplace will not run during a power outage so this device does not overcome that issue. FYI, batteries seem to last over a year so battery consumption is not an issue.

I bought the Skytech 3301 remote transmitter and receiver box to replace my Avanti (model AHP304R2T) which had stopped working. The Skytech has pretty much the same features, which I was happy about, but I've been disappointed in the transmitter. The transmitter works fine, but the batteries keep falling out. They are held in by a small plastic plate. The plate has two tabs at one end and another at the other end. The top tab just isn't strong enough to keep the plate in place. The other thing I don't like about the Skytech is the display. My Avanti was easy to read. It had bold block letters on an almost white screen. The Skytech letters are as big, but not as bold and they are displayed against a dark gray screen.

GREAT PRODUCT...wish i had it years ago!

VERY EASY to set up and program...installation was a snap.

Excellent instructions...very much "plug-and-play".

Best of all...the wife is now toasty warm all the time, and

I'm not jumping up and down to turn the fireplace on and off.

Again...GREAT PRODUCT...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Honest reviews on Fireplace Thermostat/Remote

The Skytech line of products is high quality at a reasonable price. I purchased the Skytech 3301 to replace the manual Skytech Control I have used for about 7 years and is still working like new. I wanted a Thermostatic Control so we would not have to cycle the logs On/Off and adjust the flame manually each time the desired temperature was reached. I contacted my local dealer, from which the logs were purchased, to see what would would work with our logs and was given the product number. I wanted to price shop before buying, local price turned out to be much higher. I ordered and it was received in a couple of days, it was as advertised however, when I removed the old remote control I noticed the two contacts were different sizes, neither of which was the size of the new one. I called Skytech, after a little discussion I learned I have a "Servo Gas Valve", i.e. read "ADJUSTABLE FLAME" and not compatable with the Thermostatic Remote Control "Either On or Off"! Unfortunately I had to return the Skytech 3301, none of the Thermostatic controllers will work with a Servo Valve. Sometime later I was in my local store and asked about the Remote Thermostat this time he told me "it would not work with our logs"! Bottom line be sure you have all the right information and ask questions before buying. Save everyone some time and money!

I have a gas fireplace that had a wall thermostat located more than 25 ft. from the fireplace. Problem was sometimes the thermostat would lite the fireplace sometimes it wouldn't, very hit or miss.

After I installed the Skytech 3301, no more trouble, works perfect everytime, and so handy, you don't have to get out of your chair to turn up the heat.

Pro's: Easy for the home handyman to install. Works great.

This has been a nice space heater to use. It has manual low, manual high, and thermostat temp auto settings,. You can either use oscillating or turn it off with switch. On high, this fan is a bit noisy, but that is my only complaint. I own two different Holmes heaters, and I like both.

I fell in love with this at first sight, unfortunately the color is not antique white. It is more of an antique yellow. A canary yellow to be exact and the mahogany slates are not mahogany but black. I would have never purchased this color or have even given it a second thought had I seen it in true color. It's still a beautiful piece but just a warning to those who are really hoping for a mahogany and antique white fireplace.

It is beautiful well constructed and is an addition to the master bedroom remodel that really brings the room the warmth and comfort feeling we were seeking. The fact that it is alcohol burning means it is a safe alternative and with kids in the house that is a HUGE selling feature.

Perfect for bath fan, so instead of the kids not using the fan or leaving it on forever, they can set it for 20 mins and forget about it. And I save on the heating bill. Now if it could only get them OUT of the shower in 20 mins.

Intermatic FD30MH 30-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer

We now have six Intermatic spring-loaded timer in our house all on fans. It seems to be the same quality and design as earlier models. E.g., the mini cover plate; the plastic piece with "OFF" & "30 Minutes" printed on it works on both kinds of wall plates; the standard version with a 7/16" wide x 1" high hole for a switch handle to protrude through, and the more modern "Decora" plates (see Customer Images) that have the much larger hole.

These are NOT totally silent timers. Listen carefully and you can hear the timer gears whirring. That's fine if it controls a fan, but, if it's for a light in a quiet room, the sound is more obvious. Also, there's an obvious snap when it shuts off. For a silent timer, consider a product such as the Woods 59007 Decora Style 30-15-10-5 Minute Preset Wall Switch Timer, White, 30-Minute

This timer/switch can be installed in a single gang electric box or a multi-gang (double box, triple box, or more).

If the wall plate is the thin type (like our stainless steel plates), it will work well with this timer. You might have trouble with the switch handle not poking out far enough on thicker plates, such as ceramic.

The timer itself has no external wires (see Customer Images). You simply tighten the hot lead under the bottom connect and the lamp or fan wire under the top connector. (Reversing these two wires on the timer works just as well and is perfectly safe.)

Some reviews on similar Intermatic timers say their device won't cut power by turning the knob fully counter-clockwise; i.e., they still have to wait for the timer to complete. If yours doesn't work as below, return it immediately for a refund. Mine works as it should -i.e., turn the knob:

clockwise to turn the power on (a bathroom fan in my case) to a set time

fully clockwise to hold the power on until you turn it off

counter-clockwise to reduce the time remaining

fully counter-clockwise to turn power off

When my old Broan timer for a bathroom fan failed I order this one. What a mistake! Unit arrived and is missing a "pressure plate". Intermatic supplies no phone number on the instructions or package. Go to their web site and they have a number ( not toll free) and they put you through menu hell. This model # isn't even on their voice menu. When I finally did talk to a service rep (Eric) he insist that the pressure plates and screws are already in the switch. They're not. They're in the bag and one pressure plate is missing. When I ask if he can send one out to me he says no; I need to return it to my place of purchase. So back to Amazon this switch goes.

Next time I think I'll stick with another brand and avoid Intermatic.

[Interesting to see that this switch is made in Tunisia. Maybe if they didn't try to save 30 cents it could be made here in America and the rep would have parts on hand. Just a thought. I guess it is better than seeing EVERYTHING you buy made in China.]

And the instructions are not very good. There is no parts list to let you know what you should have in the bag.

Update: While Intermatics quality control and customer service leaves something to be desired, Amazon.com makes up for it and that's why I shop here so often. I went on-line and asked for a replacement. There was a hitch in the web site but they called me right away and I had the replacement timer on my door less than 19 hours after requesting a replacement!! This is an unbeatable level of customer service and is probably the reason I'm a loyal Amazon customer.

The item was smaller than it appeared (yes I read the measurements). It's all press board. About 10% of the holes were not totally complete or slightly off center. The door panels have clear plastic not glass. The fire looks far less realistic than hoped. The fan is a bit noisy. Basically it is worth about $125 at best (being generous). I would not recommend this product.

It's true you get what you pay for, whether it's cars, tv's or air. The Maxxair 4000 delivered maximum blowing capacity for a flooded basement. After returning home following a 2 week absence during subzero conditions, I was greeted with a broken supply line to the ice maker. The water had been leaking for days with over 3" of accumulation in our new log home's basement. We hadn't finished drywalling the basement and water was dripping off the ceiling like a rainforest. I rented 4, 1250 cfm units from the local rental agency until the 2 Maxxairs arrived 2nd day delivery from Amazon. I had the 4 rentals lined up on the wall directly below the broken line and the wall was still dripping wet after after 31 hours of blowing 82 degree air. Within 48 hours of using the Maxxairs the entire basement walls, ceiling,&floors were completely dry with no warping! The cost of 4 rental was just a bit more than the total cost of the 2 Maxxairs. Since the purchase, my neighbors used them for quick drying paint and I've leased them twice through word of mouth for other unlucky homeowners with waterdamage.

This blower really moves plenty of air. It seems well made as the housing is roto-molded polyethylene. It's a bit heavy though due to its large size, but what do you expect for a fan that moves this much air? The cord on it is actually 25 or 30 feet long (description says it's 10 feet long). After searching the net extensively, I came to the conclusion this blower was the best breeze for the buck. No other high output fan came close to the price of this one.

The intake grilles are plastic and the output grille is wire. The squirrel cage inside is stamped steel (as are most). There are 3 speeds and the only downside to this thing is that even at its lowest speed it's sometimes too much air for what I'm doing. I use it to ventilate my shop for welding fumes among other things.

Overall, an excellent buy since it's got Free Super Saver shipping (and I'm in Hawaii to boot!) Cost to ship this thing would be very high otherwise.

Honest reviews on MAXXAIR HVCF4000 4000 CFM High Heavy-duty Carpet and Floor Drying

This unit clearly moves a lot of air. However, the first unit I received had an off center squirrel cage blower and vibrated horribly, particularly at low speed. I had to spend $80 sending it back to the manufacturer who promptly replaced it with another unit under the warranty.

The second unit also has a vibration caused by a visibly off center blower. It was not as bad as the first one, but was not satisfactory. I wound up using a Rigid blower to dry a flooded basement, which is lower capacity, but which ran smoothly on all speeds with no vibration.

I was most disappointed with the MaxxAir PB 4000. Many dollars invested for an initially poor result. Update: The second unit was just replaced under the one year warranty and the manufacturer paid the return freight. The service level of the manufacturer has been outstanding. The manufacturer's customer representative was most helpful as we worked through this. I have now been served well by the manufacturer and am satisfied with the current replacement product.

Pros:

Runs very quiet

Heats room well and quickly

Has a fan-only option for the summertime

Blue LED screen turns off after several seconds (good for nighttime)

Turns off after it reaches desired temp (I saw that some heaters only switch to the low setting)

Doesn't glow

Cons:

Beeps every time you press a button (not good when you are using it in a room where someone is sleeping)

Thermostat is off by at least 4 degrees (says the room is 73 when my other two sources say it is 69)

Not totally cool to the touch, as it says

No remote (for $150 it should have that)

Clicking sound when it turns on/off wakes me up sometimes

Overall, I am relatively happy with this fan, and after reading reviews for others it seems like this one functions just about the same and has the same pros and cons. However, most of the fans of this type run about $100 cheaper, which is leading me to consider returning it.

This is a relatively small fan, and relatively quiet. It is not silent though. Overall, it's a good fan, except that it is way overpriced.

You pay for the LCD screen, and digital controls. The problem is that the LCD is tiny, and worst, it looses all setting if turned off or unplugged. Each time you have to select the temperature, the mode (heat/fan only), etc.

To top it all, it lacks a remote control. At this price, this is quite an omission.

I'll return mine at BBuy and get a cheaper version.

Comfort Zone heater SUCKS. I bought one of these heaters and am thoroughly disappointed. It will not turn on until it is really cold, like around 40-45 degrees or so. As a result i ended up using my old heater instead.

When it does turn on (which has been about five times this winter) it won't turn off automatically so the room just got hotter and hotter until i turned it off. I can't program it to turn on/off at certain times because that part doesn't work.

I called customer service (which is lousy-you can't get them half the time after waiting a long time) and they told me to do this and that which i did, but nothing worked. I bought it in the summer when it became available so by the time i tried using it in the winter the money back guarantee was over.

So i'm stuck with a $400 piece of garbage.

P.S. I have seen other reviews that say these units break down a lot. I never got mine to work long enough to break down these other ways. Do your homework and read the customer reviews online. This is too much money to throw away.

This is a good heater. We have purchased it for our bathroom and it does a good job in heating it quickly. We know it states it is not intended for a bathroom, but those that are rated for a bathroom just have a GFI on the end of the power cord. We already have a GFI outlet that I use offering the same protection.

The timer is a nice feature and easy to set from 1 hour to 7 hours or anywhere in-between in increments of one hour. The oscillation works as expected. The power level is either 900 watts or 1500 watts. All of those options are easy to set.

The thermostat is an area we would like to see improved so that it works at the 900 watt setting. Our bathroom is small and really does not need that much heat. The thermostat only works on the high heat, 1500 watt setting. The manual states this if for "increased efficiency" which I do not understand. 900 watts is 900 watts and 1500 is 1500 watts. Have a thermostat turn it on or off does not make it any more efficient. If you get more BTUs per watt, that would be more efficient in my eyes. Plus, when I tried it on the thermostat, there appears to be a cool down period after you reach the desired temperature which I think is a good for the unit.

We like the heater and would recommend it to others given the above.

We just received our Lasko Ceramic Tower Heater Model #5775 yesterday and could immediately see that this unit really does a great job of heating up our family room.

So far we love this heater!!! I had read consumer reviews on this heater which were excellent. Also the price is great. We paid over $300 for the EdenPURE and it was not worth it. It was a rip-off.

Bought two of these one for my son-in-law in his workshed separate from his house, and another for us to use in our living room. I didn't want to keep heating the whole downstairs floor when we spent most of the evening in the living room only. It did eventually warm the room a few degrees and would have been OK if it didn't keep blowing the breaker switch. Our house has quality wiring and we don't have much of a problem with this sort of thing. We sometime have some pretty heavy electrical loads from an electric stove, electric oven, electric dryer, lighting, and air conditioning with no problem. The house has GFS breakers throughout, as well as the main breaker panel in the garage. Built in 1993. But the constant blowing of the breaker in the main panel dedicated to the living room (where we were only using the TV and one lamp), is too much of an annoyance, so it is basically useless for us. It has to be the heater, because we've run in the living room, the TV, stereo, lamp, main light, another lamp, foot massager, and a massaging chair all at the same time with no trouble. My son-in-law sent his back and got a more powerful heater. His house and workshed are much older (1960s built) but he has no trouble with blowing the breakers with a different brand of more powerful heater. Don't know why this one does it, but it's pulling too many amps or volts or something. I'm not an electrician so I don't know the exact problem but I do know it's related to that heater. No problems when it is not running.
