I've been using the Eurodib 110v Induction Cooker for about six months and am happy with it. I have a Jenn-Air propane cooktop that is unstable at low temps, cooking delicate items such as eggs on it is difficult. So I purchased the Eurodib. The Eurodib give a very consistent heat output with my magnetic pans.

It has two modes, "Heat" & "Temp"

Temp has 10 settings in 30 deg. increments from 150 to 450 deg.

Heat has 10 settings from 1 to 10.

The unit defaults to "Heat" when it is switched on, then you can switch to "Temp". I usually use "Temp" because it is more intuitive to boiling water (at 212 degrees, for example).

The Eurodib boils water much faster than my 1100 watt microwave and I was fortunate that the teapot is magnetic. Not so lucky with the KitchenAid pots and pans that I thought would have been magnetic. Unfortunately they are the cheaper non-magnetic versions.

Recommend checking your intended cookware with a magnet if you want to use it with any induction cooktop. I had enough cast iron and magnetic SS cookware to get by, whew!

Rated 4 stars, I'd give it 5 stars if it had smaller increments than 30 degrees.

This is a nice flexible hose. I use it to connect my portable garage heater. It comes with the male quick connect on one end & a 3/8 male flare on the other end. It also comes with the female quick connect fitting.

The hose replaces all the connections to my RV LP appliances and the quick disconnect adapts to the low pressure side of the regulator. I am using two of these hoses for my motorhome propane tank and the outside portable grill and stove top that I carry with me. So much better than having a separate tanks and regulators

I just needed a quick disconnect hose for my large burner (turkey fryer essentially, although I brew beer using it). I already had one for my grill. Everything in my system used and needed 3/8" pipe thread. This hose totally delivered. Nothing fancy, but solid construction, sturdy components, and plenty of length at 12 ft. Although one size was the 3/8" flare female (the side opposite the quick connect), it came with a coupler that converted the flare to pipe thread. So everything fit without sending me to the hardware store and now my problems are solved.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 12 Foot Natural Gas and Propane Gas Hose Assembly 3/8

I purchased this hose to connect my Weber Genesis grill to my house propane system. The packaging clearly stated that the hose was suitable for use with LP and natural gas. However, the markings on the hose itself only indicated it was compatible with natural gas. Due to safety concerns, I returned it and bought an MB Sturgis hose sold right here on Amazon.com ASIN number B007JYZKKA. The Mr. Heater hose is made in China while the Sturgis hose is made in St. Louis, MO. The Sturgis hose is clearly marked for use with both LP and natural gas and is standard equipment on new Weber natural gas grills.

Pros:

Keeps our feet warm under our desk

Doesn't use much energy

No buzzing sound, no weird rubber smell

Cons:

Takes about 45 minutes to get fully heated up

Expensive

Other thoughts:

We only use this with socks on or bare feet. There's no way it would keep your feet warm with shoes or heels on (as advertised).

It generates enough it to make the air a bit warmer under the desk also.

Discount 16x25x4-MERV12 A/C Furnace Air Filters by Nordic Pure (Box of 6)

I am extremely pleased with these filters. I had bought a Filtrete filter at home depot that was supposedly the same size but in actual measurements was way too big for my older Honeywell air cleaner unit.

If I remember right, that mistake cost me thirty dollars or so for the one filter as I mangled the filter trying to force it in.......

I bought the Nordic Pure filters and was delighted that because of their smaller actual measurements they fit perfectly. They were also well packed and arrived in perfect condition. Considering the free shipping they are very reasonably priced for six filters. I would be pleased to buy from this seller again.

I am not convinced that these filters are a MERV 12 rating. The material seems to be thinner & less of it than the Honeywell filter that I removed from my furnace. On a good note, the shipping was speedy.

Haier DM30EJ-T 30 Pint Mechanical Dehumidifier Review

I have owned two of these dehumidifiers, and both failed in less than 18 months due to leakage of the refrigerant. In both cases, the refrigerant loss was due to excessive corrosion of the evaporator coil. (Who would have thought a dehumidifier would be exposed to moisture?)

Haier warranty support was not able to address the issue in any way. In my professional opinion, this humidifier was not designed to last more than two years. I will not buy another Haier product.

My Haier dehumidifier was a problem from the start. The energy saving function worked too well: the device refused to run for more than about 1 minute. Despite the high moisture levels in our basement (despite growing mold on the furniture!), our dehumidifier refused to run properly. Haier devices have created a huge problem for my wife and I. I would not recommend them to anyone. Their customer service department has also been disappointing to work with. Overall, I would recommend going with a different dehumidifier--any company but Haier!

This is the closest model to an oler model that we could find by the same maker. It is a bit noisy, but the water resevoir is big. Most models are much smaller and therefore have to be emptied more often.

We have had this dehumidifier for our basement for more than 3 years and it is still working very well. We are very happy about this prodcut and considering to buy another one for our second home. The only comment is the bukect needs to be more secure to prevent it from separating from the handle.

Review of Royal Sovereign ARP-5012XH Portable Air Conditioner Dual Hose

Royal Sovereign ARP-5012XH Portable Air Conditioner Dual Hose Heat/Cool 12,000 BTU
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this unit online about 1.5 yrs ago. The sleek design is cool as is the air it produces. The initial setup time was around 30mins (you must assemble the plastic hoses and mounts), but I managed to get it running within 10min this year. The product works as designed and keeps my living room/kitchen at a constant 73 degrees (easily 400sq ft). I have not emptied any water from the drip valve in the rear so maintenance isn't an issue. The system is a bit noisy and definitely heavy (does have wheels) but we are talking 12,000 BTU. I would recommend this product to a friend or family member.

I consult for an association in the DC metro area and the building space they rent shuts off the AC on weekends and week nights. I've installed 5 rack mount servers and their related switches, routers, etc., in their network closet. This is shared with several telecom systems and back up power systems. This technology setup produces incredible dry heat and is torture on the electronics and media. Several times the servers have shut down due to thermal overload.

This closet is about 10' square with a 9 foot ceiling. The building's HVAC system is connected to this closet.

This unit has kept the closet to the set 76 degrees and only runs when the building's system is on standby as the building keeps the temp at around 74 and this closet has a supply that is wide open.

Installing this unit was painless, cut the drop ceiling tile to size, install included drop ceiling vent adapter, connect exhaust hose and plug in the unit. We've yet to trip the 15 amp breaker.

I gave this unit only four stars because the condenser fan (made of a reinforced plastic) disintegrated at the end of last year's cooling season. When the association fired up the AC this season they noticed it would only produce cold air for perhaps 2-4 minutes, then cycle to room temperature air.

As the case is, Royal Sovereign has just one part listed on its web site for this unit, a $15 replacement condenser fan. Well, today I replaced the fan and it took perhaps an hour. I even removed the 48 blades and assorted other plastic that was once the fan, none were left attached, the squirrel cage was demolished.

I could see where someone else might rate this unit a 2 or 3 if their fan catastrophically disintegrated, however, this unit, when running as it did all last season, was more than up to the task. Because other contractors, consultants, and personnel access this closet, I'm not all that uncertain that someone may have bumped roughly into the unit while it was running and caused the damage.

As the closet air is dry because of the heat produced by the electronics, I haven't, nor do I expect to, experience any issues with condensation.

This thing cooled my 100 degree room in no time. I live on the second floor and as we all know, heat rises! Well this thing really worked well. A bit pricey ($550 when I bought it), but soooo worth it. Put it next to our bed and it cooled down my husband with it's oscilating fan. Remote came in handy when we woke up in the middle of the night cuz we were freezing! I don't know why the other reviews were so poor; we think it's excellent! Not to mention the nice black and silver looks so much better than the clunky white ones we used to own.

While this product did cool my room a bit, it wasn't what I expected.

This product is extremely heavy and takes a lot of space. The dual hose window ventilation kit is a piece of junk! I had to use heavy tape just to keep it together. I am returning this product right away.

I am unable to report how this unit works because two different units shipped "badly" damaged. I spent a great deal of time researching 12k BTU units. This RS ARP-5012 fit the bill technically. I ordered one from another vendor returned damaged, and ordered the same from Amazon in hopes this would be OK. My mistake.

If I had paid attention to the packaging the first time, I would have noticed that there was very little protecting foam at the top of the unit. Both came in with the very thin, soft foam material broken and in the bottom of the box.

Beware of this manufacturer.

I didnt go into this buy with much expectation. but upon receiving the heater, it was a little smaller looking than the picture leads it to be. What it lacks in size it makes up for in functionality. I am currently deployed and live in a 15x20 shack with two other guys, and it easily keeps us all warm at night on just the low setting. Also has a tip over switch on the base that keeps me from worrying about any mid-night fires. The small size has actually grown on me since we have very limited space to begin with. GREAT BUY!

The heater is smaller than expected; it's barely a foot tall, but it does the job admirably. It has two heat settings and when the room is warm, I turn the heater off and the room stays toasty for hours. Unlike another reviewer, I have not had problems with the oscillator making noise, but even without oscillating the heater still heats a room; the oscillator is just a bonus. It also has a fan setting that I will try out in warmer weather.

This certainly isn't marketed at people with a knowledge of thermodynamics. It advertises that it uses 1/10 the heat of a space heater, but that means it also puts out 1/10 of the heat.

As as space heater I can see this thing being pretty poor because of its low heat output, but It worked perfectly for my application. I used it for a makeshift kotatsu (a Japanese heated table) It works great for that because you don't want 1000 watts cooking your feet. Its really thin, and it won't burn you if you hit it with your knee. It was a tad difficult to mount upside-down. I cut out some wooden mounting blocks and screwed it directly into the bottom of the table. They give you velcro to mount it vertically, which is a joke considering how heavy it is.

I bought this heater for our bird cage to keep them warm during cool season. Its radiant model works just great, zero noise, distributes the heat evenly and does not disturb the birds like the regular fan heater models that not only not energy efficient but also really noisy. And best of all, it uses only 100W try to compare it to any other regular heater that would eat 750W-1000W minimum. Got it amortized in less than two months. The overall dimension is about 16"x22"x1" so it can be placed anywhere. I'm glad I found this one and Amazon is the best and least expensive place to buy from.

It delivers what is advertised, but few people (including myself) actually realize how much heat 100W is.

It basically takes a 100W light bulb and spreads the energy across a 3x2 ft panel. It will raise the temp under your desk a degree or two, but if you are expecting "radiant" heat, you need to look elsewhere.

Honest reviews on Indus-Tool CL Cozy Legs Flat-Panel 150-Watt Radiant Heater

I thought this would be perfect for my office, which is always kept freezing cold. However, while it fits great under desk, low voltage etc, and the panel itself is warm, you can't feel any heat unless you are physically touching it. with it's feet it doesn't sit high enough to slide your feet underneath so your legs can actually be within an inch of the panel, I've raised it up on boxes on either side, so my feet can partially fit under, but still I freeze at work all day. not satisfied.

I purchased two of these 3 years ago for my bathroom. I mounted one under my towel bar and the other next to my toilet, then wired them to a motion sensing outlet for extra efficiency. I hate utility bills, so this item has been perfect for me. I now have warm towels and a warm toilet seat when wanted. They've also taken the winter chill out of my bathroom.

I'm now purchasing two more to mount under my living room futon to keep my wife and I's legs warm under a blanket while we watch movies this winter. I'd previously set a 1200 watt fin style space heater under there but the heat was too much when cranked and got cold when the thermostat shut off. Plus the risk of fire had me constantly checking it.

The warmth of the cozy legs panel is perfect for many applications, so be creative, just don't expect it to heat an entire room. I personally think they're awesome and very safe.

Highly Recommended,

David
