I purchased this product to heat my 24x24 (7'6" ceiling) garage under my house. During the coldest periods where I live (Western Connecticut) the garage gets down to the low 40s.

After installing the heater and powering it up, in about 10 minutes the chill is gone from the space. After about an hour the space is very comfortable (about 62 degrees an increase of about 15 degrees from when it was turned on). By the end of the second hour the space warmed to 68 degrees. The built in thermostat turned down to about 3/4 maximum maintains that temperature.

The unit's internal fan is a little bit noisy, but since the unit is intended for a garage/workshop the fan noise is in my opinion not a big deal.

The unit is very well made and easy to install. After installing a 220 Volt 20A single circuit receptacle, I hung the unit in the center of the room from the ceiling about 4 feet from the rear wall of the garage. The bracket that came with the unit is very sturdy and will accommodate several differnt mounting options.

If you had a bigger space or an uninsulated detached garage, a larger unit with more capacity will be needed (5000 watts or more), however for a single car garage or a well insulated two car garage this unit is an excellent value.

I have a 24x24 garage with 10 feet ceilings. I did exactly as the last review did, mount it on the ceiling about four feet off the wall. Don't expect this to heat your space quickly. It works quite slowly and you can't really notice the heat, which I think is great. I turned it on at 4am in the morning and the garage temp was 40 degrees. After about 15 minutes, temp was up to 43 degrees. In about an hour it was up to 52 degrees and after 90 minutes it was up to 60 degrees. This unit is quality built and extremely quiet. It lacks the bell and whistle but is very inexpensive compared to other units. It only requires 240 volts and 20 amp breakers, all standard in the home. ( the other heaters require 30 amp breaker which requires more cost). it also come with a cord which save you another $40 over the other models. I highly recommended this unit as it compares well with the 5000 watt units with out all the extra cost. Plus if you want it to heat up a small area in the garage a little quicker then go buy a $40 floor heater and you will have the best of both worlds. Enjoy !

Installation was very simply and it does the job of warming up my garage. However......

It's only been in use for about 2 months and the built-in thermostat sticks so the heater doesn't shut off at it's preset temperature!!! It just stays on full heat!!! This could be a hazard!

Instead of going through the headache of sending it back for warranty service, I'm just going to buy a programmable thermostat rated for this unit and controlling it that way.

I would not buy this product again due to the thermostat problem. The built-in thermostat is very cheaply made aparently. Quality should be paramount due to the type of unit that it's in. I should have looked for a unit made in the USA. This unit is, like most everything else, made in CHINA.

*************************

I've installed a programmable thermostat and it's working great, since it's not being controlled by it's built-in thermostat.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DGWH4031 4000-Watt Garage/Workshop Heater

I had been shopping for an affordable garage heater for some time, and I decided that this heater fit the bill.

Although I was confused by the substitution, I was happy with the price difference and once the heater arrived, I was unable to find any differences between the Oullet model I received and this Dimplex model that I ordered, other than the color. The pictures and specs all appear to be exactly the same. Since it's in my garage and being a Buckeye fan I like anything scarlet, I was happy with the red color and decided to keep and install the heater.

Most reviews I've read on both models complain about the noise level. Well, when I removed the heater from the box it came in, I blew on the fan to see if it rattled or anything, and noticed that one of the blades clipped the electric motor while turning. I simply removed the metal cage, bent the offending blade ever so slightly so it no longer contacted the motor, and re-installed the cage. Easy, but definitely something worth checking before you install it.

This heater requires a 220v outlet (see pictures of what the plug looks like) and since I did not have one in my garage already, I had to install one which I'd never done before. I needed 50 feet of wire, a dual pole 20 amp breaker, various pieces of conduit, a receptacle and a couple of junction boxes. I got pretty fancy with the receptacle (added a weatherproof plate over the receptacle, etc) and total cost to wire up the new outlet was about $70. You can certainly do it cheaper than I did, but be advised if you need a 220v outlet, it will add to the cost of installing this heater.

I hung the heater on the wall using the included bracket, but it came with no screws to attach it to the wall. I went to the hardware store and bought two lag screws, and screwed it right into a stud. VERY sturdy installation, I could probably hang on the bracket if I wanted to.

This heater really pushes a ton of warm air. It is a bit noisy, but the fan blows really hard so I can't really see how it could be any quieter and push as much air as it does. It has a nice dial-type thermostat on the back. It doesn't have a certain temperature that you can set it to, but you can just turn it on until it's as warm as you want it in the garage, then twist the dial until it clicks off. Then, it will click back on and regulate the temperature.

I haven't tested it yet on a really cold day to see how long it takes to raise the temp, but I can tell you that with as much air as it moves, I'm confident it will work great. I'll update this review once I try it in really cold weather.

Overall, I'm very satisfied, but just be advised, if the price drops about $50 and the heater ships from Northern Tool, there's a good chance you'll receive the red Oullet model. But it's a great heater and you'll save $50, so for me it was a win-win!

Pleasantly surprised by this heater. I was in the midst of finishing my detached oversize two car garage and the heater choice was on my to-do list. I was going to require about 16000 BTU with standard insulation in my climate (Syracuse NY), which would equate to about 4800-5000W electric heater. Since I was over insulating the garage walls (R17 walls, R40 ceiling), I was confident I could get away with a slightly smaller unit the 4000W Dimplex. If needed I can supplement in a local area of the garage with a small 1500W space heater that I already had.

Installation was straight forward, since I was putting in all new electrical circuits in the garage anyway, it was easy enough to add the dedicated 240V circuit for this Dimplex unit. My unit required a NEMA 6-20 recepticle.

I started using the Dimplex unit with only some of the walls insulated, and was pleased that I could get a 10degF increase in room temperature in about 60-70 minutes even with the outside temp being 22-25 (starting temp in unfinished garage around 32degF).

I do not anticipate a large impact on my electric bill. I pay $0.05 (5 cents) for 1 kWhour. This ia 4kW heater, so for one hour of run time I pay $0.20 (20 cents). The heater will likely get used for about two hours a day ($0.40), for a total of about $12 a month.

Why only four stars? Well my only complaint about the heater is that it doesn't have a built in fan delay. When the unit kicks on, it powers the heating element and fan right away. So the fan is blowing cold air over a heating element that isn't up to temperature yet. This is a very small annoyance and a small inefficiency of the heater. The heater does have a shut down delay on the fan, it will keep the fan blowing over the hot element when the thermostat kicks the element off. This extracts and distributes the remaining residual heat from the element. Still the start up fan delay would have been nice.

I have a home office in an attic that's sun-baked in the summer and drafty in the winter, and this powerful heater/air conditioner can quickly bring the space to a comfortable temperature year-round.

Unfortunately, the unit is quite loud. The AC fan (which runs continuously even when the compressor is off) is so loud I have to turn it off when making a phone call. And the heater (which turns off completely when not in a heating cycle) makes such a jarring noise when it comes on that I jump out of my seat every time. Since the AC noise is more constant, it wouldn't be a problem if it were further from my desk, but if I had this in a bedroom there's no way I'd be able to sleep with that heater noise. (Update: after using this for a year, I rarely notice the sound of the heater turning on in my office setting.)

Also, despite the unit being marketed as not needing a water tank or drain for air conditioning, it does occasionally leak water onto the floor. Placing a cookie sheet or an improvised aluminum foil pan underneath is an easy solution, but it took me a while to notice what was happening.

Despite these concerns, I'd buy the same unit again due to its environmental features. The dual-hose design makes it more efficient, and the coolant doesn't harm the ozone layer. Unless the noise would be a problem in your situation, I'd recommend it.

I live in San Jose, California and we tend to have a few periods of warm weather (90 degrees and above). I purchased this unit to replace the other AC I had in my living room/kitchen area. This AC is put together very well (I'm girl challenged when it comes to DIY projects). In the past I had AC's where the hoses didn't fit right and here comes the duct tape. This one I didn't need to use any duct tape! Everything fit it perfectly, you can tug and pull on the hoses and their not coming out of their socket. My window size is larger than normal so I had to purchase the extended window kit, which I found on Amazon. The AC has a nice sleek look, kinda looks like a computer server :)

I turned the AC on and it was a breath of fresh air. Within 40 minutes my whole living room and kitchen were cool, at about 74 degrees when it was about 85 degrees outside. Amazing! My other AC unit would only slightly cool the living room and the heat/exhaust coming from the back end of the unit would sometimes interfere with the cooling capabilities of the machine. Not this one! The back side of it isn't extremely hot to the touch and same with the hoses, meaning the machine is running very efficiently. I even had the oven on and it didn't phase this machine. I actually had to turn it the fan lower because I started to get cold.

Others mentioned that it is noisy. I didn't notice the sound too much, but then again the sound of a fan is soothing to me.

The manufacturer did a fantastic job of packaging this machine and UPS did a great job of ensuring the product got safely to my house. The unit is heavy, but it has wheels and glides easily around my hardwood floors. I'm a very happy customer! I would definitely recommend this AC to anyone.

This has been a very hot summer and I was going to be scared to look at the next electric bill........man I was very surprised it only went up $30.00 and this cooler was ran from 7am to 9pm every day! Rated up to 500 sf but it hold it own in keeping a larger area fairly cool, upper 70's but a lot better then the 110+ out side and the 90+ was the coolest that the swamp cooler could do during the day in my elderly fathers home. Very easy to operate as my father does not do electronics or computers very well. There will be a extra bonus now that this has a heater on it for the winter will be able to get rid of the small costly space heaters that he likes to use. This is a great buy for your money.

Honest reviews on Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with Heater

I got this in the mail after doing research for a week straight. I think I know everything there is to know about every type of AC out there. I bought a new house with no AC and its been 90+ since we moved in. AC was priority #1 which is why I spent so long researching. 4-5 hours a day reading anything any everying related.

The issue I have is my whole first floor is one open layout with 25ft vaulted ceilings. 15x25 living room attached to a 15x15 kitchen with a WIDE opening between the two so the AC Had to do both of those rooms and the Height I thought would be a problem given the ceilings were soooo high. Add those two plus a little walkway and open stair case and were talking about 1200 sq ft plus the high ceilings.

Soooo.. I got it in the mail last night and waited 4 hours to plug in as the manual says you should do incase the shipped put it on its side. If they handle it wrong and you plus it right in you will damage the product for good. Setup pipes vertically and used carboard to jimmy rig the extra length I didnt have in the window kit.Ill fix this permanently later. Read the manual and turned it on... Disappointment ... I felt the temp coming out and the speed and thought there was NO way this was going to cool this whole area.

Cleaned up the boxes and said to my wife this thing gets one chance over night. If it doesnt work I am returning it the next day. It was on for two hours while I cleaned up and ate dinner and felt no change so I was really expecting it to now work. I locked up the house. closed all the doors , windows, any thing that would seal the room as much as possible and went up stairs to bed. Again couldnt be more disappointed and upset at this point thinking im an idiot and should have listened to negative reviews.

Woke up this morning and opened my door which is 25 feet up looking down on the living room and a gust of 60-65 degree air hit me in the face... I was shocked it cooled that high up with no other fans helping. Walked down stairs and my place was freezing when it was 85 when I went to bed. Not only that but not one drop of water in the tank so it evaporated it all. Now overnight the temps cooled which helped and the sun will wreak havoc today so I too the intake hose and unhooked it so it would be pulling in cold air from inside the house and cooling it rather than cooling the hot air outside and making it work over time. When I get home today I think the place will be nice and cool even after the sun came out because the house is sealed up and the unit is pulling 65 degreed air from inside the house and spitting it out freezing cold into an already conditioned room. Had I left the intake out I think it wouldn't cool as well during the day pulling 95 degree air.

Long story short, be patient and let the unit catch up with itself and the temps. Dont judge it.My room couldn't have been any worse for this thing to cool and it did its job like a champ. Also use the intake hose properly. Its not ALWAYS good to have it pull air from outside. Sometimes you can optimize the performance by adjusting what air the unit conditions. Right now its pulling inside air but when I go home and sun goes goes and temps get better out side ill put the intake hose back on . Hope this helps.

Im going to try and post a photo of my living room from the bedroom 25 ft up so buyers can see what this thing was capable of.

This is a great product. I installed this at the mothers home. It is cooling a little over 500sq ft. It is doing a great job. I have seen other reviews stating that this product is loud. I found that not to be the case at all. It is very quiet. I purched this one due to the fact that it has the heater function as well. This is a great product...

Buy Duraflame Desktop Heater

Customer Ratings:

This heater makes a large room toasty warm. Imagine how such a small and inexpensive heater can heat a large room on the canadian border. I wish I had bought three of then instead of just one of the Duraflame plus the DeLonghi and Honeywell heaters. This is an old house with little insulation. Main heat source is a valiant woodburning stove but it cannot heat two floors and does not really heat the main floor completely. Take a walk into the closed room with the Duraflame and you could be in Jamaica...well, at least in the American south. I normally would not write about appliances. I obviously was not systematic enough in my research. If you are reading this, forget high-priced space heaters and trust in the tiny Duraflame.

Though I work in a space with a central air system, sometimes my cube is just too cold. I picked this little guy up at Walgreens and he suits my needs perfectly. Hot, space-saving, powerful, and safe (auto-shutoff if the spaceheater is moved to an uneven surface), this Duraflame heater is highly recommended by me. I've owned it for about 4-5 months now and haven't had any issues.

I bought this heater to knock the morning chill out of a very small bathroom 5'9 by 5'11, that does not have any other heat source. It heats the space very quickly. There is no noise even when I put it to oscillate. The heater takes up very little space and does not look awkward or bulky. It's very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Very powerful for such a small and compact unit. I'm very pleased with the purchase. I bought it at Walgreens on sale for $21.00.

After much research and side by side comparison of heat output I determined that ceramic small heaters are the best. Do not go by watts . A 1500 watt ceramic heater will give off more heat than a 1500 watt coil type heater. I purchased this heater at bed bath and behind for $15 dollars after the five dollar discount coupon

I found this Duraflame 14T had decent to good reviews. The only question I did not have an answer to was how quiet it was. I had the hardware shop open it and plug it in. It was a quiet as one can imagine. I brought it home, plugged it in and smelled a hot smokey smell. I thought it was burning off the packing chemical/oils however with 3 minutes of turning it on, there was a "POP" sparks flew out the grill and it started smoking profusely.

I am returning it the same day I bought it and HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT PURCHASING THIS UNIT.

If you do, DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM WHILE IT IS ON!!!!!!!!!

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.

Haier Portable Air Conditioner, 8000 BTUs, CPRB08XCJ Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $409.00
Sale Price: $366.23

First a little info about portable ACs, then I will review the Haier 8000 BTU.

No portable will EVER match a window AC of the same BTU, so if you have the option to install a window unit, you should do so. A window unit will be cooler and use less power. Here is why:

A single hose unit means the hose will exhaust hot air thru the hose. But it needs an intake source of air the intake will be from the room itself so you are taking the air that you just cooled and exhausting it out the window.

Next, the exhaust hose itself as noted by other reviewers, gets very hot. As hot as a radiator in the winter.

And the AC unit itself gets hot the portables have the entire unit inside the room so it is heating up the room. Window units have the working parts outside of the room so they don't heat up the room anywhere as much.

So now you are heating the room as well as dumping cold air out the exhaust.

This is why a portable can never be as efficient as a window unit. I think you would need at least twice the BTUs of a window unit to get the same cooling power. I think the manufacturer's of the portables give you a theoretical BTU rating but with the issues of exhausting cooled air and heat generated by the unit and from the exhaust you will never get the theoretical BTUs.

This is true for all single hose portables. Dual hose portables will be more efficient (good luck finding an inexpensive one), but still not as efficient as window units as they still have the issue of the exhaust hose emitting heat into the room. Putting insulation around the exhaust hose will help. But please do not use pink fiberglass wall insulation it's not very healthy for you if it is not completely sealed off ie inside a wall.

Now to the Haier itself:

The model I purchased CPRB08XCJ can be controlled without the remote all the buttons that are on the remote are also on the unit. The screws are not too short to attach the adapter to the panel you must put the screws in from the front the side facing inside the room. The instructions are pretty simple so maybe the other reviewers got an older version of the instructions or I have a different model.

Depending on the humidity, you will need to empty the unit. I had my unit on for 3 hours, and there was a lot of water when I drained it. Had I not drained it, I think the unit would have shut off once the tank was full; it is supposed to have an auto shut off. I drained it before it shut by itself.

I also tried connecting a drain hose but that was a minor disaster the fitting is just a nipple that you push a hose into (does not come with a hose) -it came loose and water got all over. It would be nice if Haier included a hose that threads onto the nipple.

The room I used it in is 8x12. The air coming out of the unit felt cool, and it cooled the room a bit but it did not cool the room well; on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it 4 on cooling, probably due to the issues mentioned above. To be fair, I used the unit on the hottest nights (so far) of this year it was above 90 degrees at night. I have not used the unit during the day yet haven't been home. I expect the unit will perform better this week, as the night temps will be in the 80s.

The unit does not have directional fins it only blows straight out. I did not think this would be an issue but it is: the exhaust hose is very stiff and it is hard to turn the unit to the direction you want it.

Also, be aware that the cord is about 6 feet long, and it is not recommended to use an extension cord. So make sure you can reach an outlet, while trying to keep the exhaust tube as shortened as possible. The closer you can get the unit to the window, the shorter the hose will be and thus the less heat will be emitted into the room.

As others have mentioned it is not easily moved from room to room you must wrangle with hose and the weight.

Overall, I do not think the cooling capacity of other single hose units will be much better. It would be a better unit if it had a separate intake hose, an included screw in drain hose, and directional fins. So an okay unit if you have no option to use a window AC, with some minor annoyances. I gave it 3 stars, but is really more like 2 and 1/2 stars.

I was in the market for a new air conditioner for my 12x15 bedroom, and upon reading the other customer reviews was sure that for the size, BTU, and price the Haier CPRB08XCJ 8000 was going to be the right fit for my needs. Upon setup and as I began using the product I ran into several issues.

The first was that the directions on setup and installation were unclear, even for such a seemingly simple process.

Secondly, while the air conditioner is said to cool a room up to 250-300 sq feet, it was struggling to cover my 180. And while it does seem to do a better job at dehumidifying than cooling, the amount of drainage from the collected water is unmanageable. The product was said to be mostly self-evaporating with a reservoir tank that will hold the excess. I was aware that the unit may need occasional drainage. I however am unable to run the unit for more than 3-4 hours before the tank is full and shuts itself off completely. Since I am using this in my bedroom there is no convenient way to drain the tank without either completely detaching it from its window fittings and rolling it into my bathroom, or allowing it to drain into pots or pans and carrying them to the kitchen sink. The other night, while I was sleeping, I attempted to just allow the unit to drain as it cooled into a spare aluminum casserole pan but the amount of water was so great that halfway through the night it had already begun overflowing. I'm going to try to find some rubber hose to fit to the drainage spout to put out my window, but without elevating the incredibly heavy unit I cant see how it will ever truly drain efficiently. I could forgive this extra inconvenience if the unit was effectively cooling my small room, but it is all around lackluster.

Thirdly I think calling this air conditioner portable is a little misleading. In order for me to move the unit into another room I need to unplug the unit from the wall, disconnect the exhaust hose, unscrew the window fitting to change the size and remove it from my window frame then transport the unit to the other room and refit the exhaust hose and window fittings . It doesn't sound like too much, but the whole process takes about 15-20 minutes. i suppose by purchasing several of the panels that go into the window frame I could keep those preinstalled into other windows in the house, but with all of the extra expense and hassle I just don't think this air conditioner is worth the fuss.

I had also tried researching some troubleshooting methods, but Haier doesn't even list this product on their website.

Lastly, because I purchased the air conditioner sponsored by amazon but sold by this company called Beach Audio I cannot return the product to amazon. Beach Audio has a 30 day return policy that excludes certain items including air conditioners regardless if they are defective or not. It was my mistake for not researching this before my purchase, but I was told that their return policy was 30 days and I didn't see the need to investigate it further.

I have two LG 9,000's for the bigger rooms which I LOVE but needed one a bit smaller for my babies room (the central AC is horrible at cooling upstairs!), so we got this one the other day and it is perfect. You don't need to drain it so I don't know what the previous review was talking about. It is self evaporating and uses it's own water cond. to cool itself. The window mount it much better then my LG's too. It's a very stylish and a small box AC that works wonderful and keeps me less stressed at night worrying about the comfort of my 18 month old at night. I have a thermostat reading in my room that tells me the temp in his room and this AC keep it exactly at what I wanted it to. Love it so far and recommend for sure!

Honest reviews on Haier Portable Air Conditioner, 8000 BTUs, CPRB08XCJ

I was looking for a good, small, and cheap portable unit to install upstairs in my gameroom, HOA does not allow for window units. This unit preforms fairly well for its size. It does not have a water collection bin through you must drain it through a hose, but I have a central unit that removes alot of the humidity.

The installation was fairly easy except for a few small problems, it comes with 4 tiny screws that are supposed to attach the exhaust hose to the window spacer, but they where not long enough, I had to use 4 tiny bolts and washers instead.

When installing it remember to keep the exhaust hose as straight as possible any bends reduce efficiency. Also I bought some insulating wrap form home depot and covered the exhaust hose. I used a temp gun and saw that the exhaust hose had a temp form 95-110 degrees. The window insert they give you is a joke also you should install some insulation around it also.

Update on review:now one year later moved to garden level in Brooklyn cools much better than on the 5th floor south side apartment but still doesn't cool a large room even with cool air coming out solution -a very good fan to circulate the air. It is a fabulous dehumidifier but handling the water without a nearby drain is a problem still emptying buckets adn working on a solution . . .perhaps a fish tank pump from the bucket out the window :-).

Original review: We needed an air conditioner for a small East Village apartment in New York City for one of our kids going to school there. The apartment windows are on the south side. The alternative to this kind of portable unit was to have (and pay) for the installation of a window bracket and still buy a unit so we gave it a try. It does a great job given the windows allow the blast of hot sunlight in the afternoon (curtains are bound to help).

There is NO issue with water drainage when it is just being used as an air conditioner. The unit auto-evaporates as it works. According the the manual you only need to worry about drainage when you have it in dehumidifier mode. NYC is plenty humid in the summer and there has been no problem with the unit which is humming along 24/7 for two weeks now.

It is wonderful not to have a window blocked with an air conditioner box or to worry about taking it out for winter (or covering well enough to keep out the cold). Things that would improve this unit: include small screws with nuts instead of sheet metal screws to attach the exhaust conduit to the plastic window 'sleeve' and toss in the box some standard foam window weather stripping to pad underneath the window-sleeve.

There's nothing nicer than a warm, dry, towel. And in the summer this heater keeps towels from getting musty so quickly. But, our electric bill went up $40 per month and we didn't know why....until we unplugged the towel warmer. Now we plug it in long enough to dry the towels, or to heat them while we shower. Then we turn it off again. Other than being an electricity hog, this is a great product, and we enjoy the feeling of being pampered and comforted with heated towels.

I've been using the Hyde Park Freestanding Towel Warmer and Drying Rack for about one month. It appears to be very well-built it is sturdy and does not tip easily. Towels don't get nearly as warm as they would in a clothes dryer (a clothes dryer uses far more energy). However, it dries them thoroughly, allowing them to absorb more water far more quickly. I put a timer (about $10 at Lowes) on the receptacle, keeping the rack energized only a few hours before and after normal towel use times. This should minimize the impact on the electricity bill.

I live in Southern California and I really appreciate this unit. My husband and I had an apartment in Paris that had a great towel warmer. It's hard to describe the European warmer, but it had more surface area. My complaint with the few units I've seen here in the United States is that they have rungs instead of a tile-like surface heating area, and therefore aren't as efficient and don't do as good a job of heating/drying. However, given that the European units don't seem to be available here, this unit works well enough. We use it to warm/dry our towels, dry swimsuits, etc. without having to start up the clothes dryer. It's also very nice to have a warmish towel when you step out of the shower.

This towel warmer heats up quickly. I find that if I lay the towel on it when I get into the shower, it's nice and toasty warm by the time I get out. If you have never had a warm towel waiting for you after a bath or showeryou don't know what you are missing!

Cheap Haier HPR09XC5 9,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I did A LOT of research before buying this portable a/c, and I have to say I am very pleased with my choice. I live in NYC where the humid heat is unrelenting, and the dehumidification feature does wonders. AlsoI have left the a/c on for days at a time and not once have I had to drain excess water. And, set up was a breeze. My only complaint is that the unit can be noisyit makes quite a bit of noise when the cooling system kicks on and off; so much so, actually, that after two minths it still wakes me up if I am not in a deep sleep. But, that is a small complaint in the midst of a mostly happy review. If you can't have a window unit, I definitely recommend this portable a/c.

I don't know if I've got a defective unit or not but I've had the thing running for nearly three days in a room about 250 square feet and the thermostat still says 77 degrees (I've got it set for 68). This is awful. In the morning I get colder air by putting a fan in my window. This is nothing more than a very expensive fan. I'm horribly disappointed with this machine and caution others against it.

Additionally, the exhaust kit doesn't fit my standard window opening and the exhaust tubing gets super hot. So, there's a battle between the marginal coolness of the unit versus the unendurable heat of the exhaust. Lucky me.

First year worked well. we purchased a/c heater unit. Winter came heater unit didn't work. Customer service would not do anything about the unit. 2nd year it could not keep up with humidity and leaked even though drained...read some reviews where it will not keep up with high humidity areas. Just for the sheer lack of customer support for warranty coverage I would not recommend this brand. Very disappointed when 3rd summer it quit completely...

Honest reviews on Haier HPR09XC5 9,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I've been using this unit for about three months in a 12x12 ft room. Initially I was just using it for a few hours per day, but for the past month, it's been running almost nonstop in the humid Northeast. I've never had to empty the water, and it has always kept the temperature within two degrees of the requested temperature setting. Even on 90+ days, I often keep the fan setting on the lowest option since it cools well even without the fan blowing strongly. The exhaust hose is warm to the touch (as all are), but it doesn't feel like it's radiating a lot of heat back into the room.

My only complaints are minor. First, the exhaust hose is configured such that the unit can't be placed closer than about two feet from the wall if you want it in front of the window you're venting it out. You may be able to get it closer to the wall if it's off to the side of the window, but I don't have any wall/floor space on either side of my window. Also, the display light is constantly on and is a blue light. During the day, this is fine (although perhaps a small waste of energy), but at night it's rather bright, and I have to drape something over it so I can sleep. These are certainly not issues that would prevent me from recommending the unit, however. I read a lot of reviews before settling on this one, and I still had concerns, especially about having to drain water. But this unit has performed perfectly!

I've had one of these for several years. Puts out a pretty good amount of heat -about what you'd expect. After a couple years, the on/off pull switch broke. I opened it up, which was a pain, and bypassed the broken switch. Now we turn it on and off using the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) at the plug.

First, there aren't a lot of options given the size in terms of dimensions and BTU output and price range. Cast iron was my first choice, but too expensive. The stove is attractive, easy to use and does have good heat output. It's high enough so that it doesn't have to sit on a mantle. It arrived when they said it would. Pretty easy to set up. I've only had it for 5 or six weeks, but I like it.

We have a cold ground level family room that's about 15x20 and this heats it up great. Blasts the heat out.

The remote is very convenient. Forget the thermostat control...it just doesn't work/calibrate correctly. Made in China...you understand.

Now the bad news..

After 11 months of flawless operation the remote receiver died. Called the manufacturer, and they said they would ship me a new one, free of charge. After about a couple of days of manually turning it on using the switch on the receiver box it quit entirely. Apparently the receiver sends a small charge to a solenoid that starts it up. If the remote receiver dies (and I've read a few review where this has happened) there is no manual way to start the stove. Sure, you can always get he pilot lit with a match, but the solenoid won't open the internals to allow the gas to flow into the burners unless the remote receiver is working and delivers the small voltage to the solenoid. Now the joke part...since the receiver is a back-ordered part the manufacturer offered to let me RMA the entire stove..which I am doing. So for something the size of a cigarette pack I need to swap the entire stove. It's getting cold out and I miss it already.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one..

It really is a great stove. During the recent hurricane when we didn't have power this thing was fantastic. Kept us all warm for 13 days.

Just understand how that remote receiver works...they make a model without the remote...you may want to consider it.

Update 9/19/2013:

Lost the remote (sigh)...If you go to ProComm or SkyCom (the remote manufacturer) you'll pay dearly ($150+) for a replacement. I did check the auction sites and was able to replace it for $25...just make sure it's one that will send voltage to the solenoid. There are 2 types...The unit works good as new, and this is our 3rd season using it. Last year it was a lifesaver after Sandy. We didn't have electricity for 2 weeks and this unit saved us.

UPDATE 10/31/12

Another month passed, and the kettle does not work that well anymore as I experienced in the beginning. Obviously, the rust buildup on the heating element is now somehow hindering its auto shut-off function. This means I have to manually flip the switch to turn off the kettle when water is boiling, otherwise it just keep heating up! This can really be a major safety issue, not to mention that the whole point of a electric kettle is that I don't have to stand around it watching the water. Although it is still usable, I wouldn't use it anymore. Sent an email to the company, and I was told that it's most likely due to mishandling, and I'll have to pay to ship it over to get it fixed. Since shipping this guy in its original box costs half its selling price and there's no guarantee it'll be fixed for free, I'll just opt for a new kettle. It could be problem with my tap water, but aren't these supposed to be a way to purify water anyways?

UPDATE 9/29/12

Now that I've used this kettle for over a few months, I'll take away two stars for it. The reason is that you have to keep using it very, very often, almost daily, to keep the kettle in good working order. Scale buildup, although a problem, is easily taken care of by some vinegar; however, once I leave the kettle alone for a week or two without using it, the heating element rusts. This not only makes boiling time much longer than before and consume a lot of energy, but also releases potentially harmful chemicals into your water. The only way to prevent this is to wipe the inside of the kettle dry after boiling water. Once the heating element rusts there's pretty much nothing I can do about it than replacing the kettle as it's not really possible to scrape and polish the insides.

This large kettle is very convenient for those who occasionally need hot water. I bought it looking for some tea as well as instant food and it does the job perfectly.

Pros:

-Large volume. Can boil a lot of water, which means the water stays warm a little longer when I let it sit. No need to reboil for refills.

-Power design. The "special" power connection used on the base is pretty high so I feel more comfortable leaving it near the sink.

-Cordless. I can take it away without trying to unplug it. I used to use a corded one and unplugging it can be a pain when the water is boiling inside and the kettle gets hot.

-Handle with anti-slip. Great when the kettle gets heavy.

-Switch that can turn off. The old kettle I have can only turn off itself, and this one is really convenient when I think I don't want the water anymore.

Cons:

-Scale builds up really fast. I've used it a week now and can already see some on the heating element.

-Minimum line at 0.5L. This means I have to boil at least 2+ mugs of water, even I just want a cup.

-Plastic smell needs 5+ boils to clear up.

The bad parts can be dealt with pretty easily so it's no big deal for an occasional user. If you want something to use every hour to serve a whole family (or more), consider one of the stainless steel kettles with hidden elements. This kettle will probably take some descaling, but I guess that is the cost of having one that boils a full kettle in under 4 minutes.

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach K6080 Large Cordless Kettle, 1.8-Liter, Black

So to start with i use to this to make mostly tea (loose leaf in a defuser) and coffe (french press).

Pros

*boils fast, typically i only boil 1L at a time, it takes 3 minutes and 35 seconds to boil from room temperature.

*Plastic, this is nice because it makes it safe and easy to handle without getting burned.

*No plastic taste in the water, i only use filtered water so if it did it would be very obvious. Now that being said i did fill it to the max 6 times and boiled it and dumped the water when i first got it to clean it.

*THE PRICE

Con

*There is only one con, and that is that it doesn't make any noise when it is done other than the fact that it shuts off. If it wasn't for this fact it would have 5 stars.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a very reasonably priced electric kettle that works great than this is for you. I would buy it again in a heart beat.

I bought it in July and It stopped working October. It worked fine...when it worked but I expected it to last at least a year...not 3 1/2 months. First impression was that it was cheap, flimsy plastic but for $20, I couldn't complain. I would suggest forking out more money for something of higher quality. It's not worth it to take advantage of the warranty BECAUSE Hamilton Beach says the customer is responsible for shipping to and from their center. Again...I spent $20 on the thing. Shipping would probably cost more. WIth the good reviews, I thought it would be a better quality product. It's not.

Buy Dimplex RFI8 Commercial Fan-Forced Wall Heater

Customer Ratings:

I would like to warn anyone who wants to buy Dimplex Wall Heaters period, "don't". I bought 3. Two for my home and one for a friend's home. All three work and preform the exact same way, Terrible. You half to turn the thermostat all the way up to get it to come on when its cold. They then continually go off and on, off and on. On for about eight minutes each time. They don't stay on heating but about maybe five minutes, which does not heat the room at all. Like I said all 3 work just alike. Now one of them will not go off period unless I turn the knob all the way off. Because they keep going off and on continually for a short period of time the heater does not put enough heat out to warm the room. The heaters should since the room temperature before they go off so that when it gets warm, then cut off. But not so. Please do not buy Dimplex heaters thinking they will warm your house. Made only, I repeat only for indoor spaces, whether placed in a vestibule, entrance way, stairwell, kiosk, or other area subject to cold drafts and at that I can't see how they would work.

I am having to buy another brand called Q-Mark which is made to heat a 480 square foot room. I since then I have done a lot of research on wall heaters and found Q-Mark to be one of the top brands. Just cut my loses and move on. Like they say live and learn sometimes the hard and expensive way.

The heater was received in new condition. Installation was extremely simple. Works great. Nice feature to have the built-in thermostat. The only issue I have is the dial on the heater unit doesn't indicate temperature, so you have to guess where to set the dial for the proper temperature. Other than that, a great unit.

Sunbeam SCH4062 Ceramic Space Heater for Small Room Review

This heater is super strong and powerful. It's amazing how quickly it heats up my ENTIRE apartment. I've had 2 other small heaters and when I got this one I was seriously impressed with the quality. It's way stronger and warmer than any other heater I've had. I used it for about 3 winters and it was still going strong until my puppy chewed through the cord. Now I'm on the lookout for another one. I haven't been able to find this heater in stores so I'm going to have to purchase it online. I won't settle for any other heater because I know this one is the best. It's the best heater for this price. You won't be disappointed!
