This product is just what I was looking for and more. The speaker is very clear and high quality. The light changing is very nice in a dimmly lit room. The aromatherapy diffuser heats up fast and produces the scent in the room. I use this product in a medium size room. I know that the diffuser would not have a strong affect in a large room. Unless you would have more than one diffuser. I highly rate this product. I am very happy with this product. I am looking to purchase another.

This item is great! Looking at the features, it has a speaker you can connect with your ipod while the light changes etc. It's good for a bedroom or an office but it won't do the job for a big space. You're better off buying the ceramic oil diffusers that uses the tealights. I have a couple of those at home.

I use my rosemary essential oil with this diffuser and my room smells heavenly. It helps alleviate sinus congestion and put me to sleep. It is so relaxing. This diffuser by far is IMHO efficient and budget friendly. It has a two hour timer that automatically shuts off to prevent accidents etc. The mood light can still work as an aesthetic therapy. It's great when used at night. I've looked for other diffusers on Amazon.com but so far this one has met my expectations and my budget. Very nice buy.

This item performs well and the design makes it easy to replace the old one. What I like most about this is that they replaced the old 1-time heat fuse with a mechanical auto-resettable fuse. Generally the fuses blow out because the intake has filled with dust or lint and there is inadequate airflow causing it to overheat. With the auto-reset fuse, when it blows, you just clean out the lint and go on. Nice Improvement.

I originally purchased a different sauna from amazon for $189, but the emfs were a concern. I returned it after it set off my emf meter big time. I dont have that problem with this one. Dont get me wrong, there are emfs, but they are minimal.

I let my sauna heat up for a few minutes before using it, although I have read where you can warm up with the sauna. Its a wonderful sauna, no emf issues. I did have a few questions so I called Therasage and the person that answered the phone was very helpful, very knowledgeable, actually uses the sauna and even invited me to try out the one there in Boca Raton if I was close by. The customer service is very helpful!

Oh yes, the chair is very sturdy. I am so glad I purchased this sauna!

I've been using this sauna everyday for about a month now. It works great and haven't had any problems. Setup was easy. I get a great sweat, exactly what I wanted. I do about an hr on level 5 and start sweating at about 25 mins. I have made some adjustments, I don't use the chair, but enclose my entire body and cover opening with a blanket. I sit on a large towel. I have also fitted a piece of cardboard in the top to keep the top from sagging down on me. Works for me. Either way, it's a great sauna with different options for use. My skin is much softer, noticed immediately, and though the scales haven't registered much difference, but some(so it's not all water weight), my pants fit much better than a month ago. I do turn it on about 10 mins before I'm ready so it will be nice and toasty when I get in. Bottom line, a great little portable, convenient sauna that I'm so happy I tried. You will sweat. Very pleased. PsI'm 5'4, if you're tall, you'll be a bit more cramped, but still very usable.

I have been searching for a while to find a sauna that not only looks good, but IS good. I finally found one that fits the bill. I am always worried about fly-by-night companies that exist somewhere else in Asia and beyond. Therasage actually has an office in the USA that you can call and speak to an actual person. The sauna is very well made--I could tell as soon as I took it out of the box. It was shipped very well, and didn't smell of toxins upon removing it from the box.

I set it up in seconds and turned it on. No crazy off-gassing, no terrible smells--manual is easy to read and understand--obviously written by people with a grasp of the English language! After the 5 minute heat up I got in the sauna. Not uncomfortable in the least. At about minute 17 I was sweating profusely. It continued this way until my time was up and it beeped.

I LOVE this thing! I can fold it up out of the way if I need, it doesn't use too much electricity, doesn't smell, AND I know from watching someone online with an EMF meter that the emf's are very low for this sauna.

All in all, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to everyone. While it is not made in America, it has the qualities of a stateside product, and with a company I can actually call, it makes all the difference in the world.

I have had expensive saunas in the past, and this stacks up to them completely, but with low emf's.

The chair is comfortable, the build quality is great. I will use this thing for a long time. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Therasage Ps2002 Portable Far Infrared Sauna, Black, Large

Love this Sauna. I never could break a really good sweat in a dry Sauna, once I would start to sweat the heat would overwhelm me. With this Sauna I turn it up all the way watch TV or a movie for a hour and when I'm finished I'm wet from Sweat. Storage is easy, setup is easy. One thing to note, the instructions are not great. There is a black piece of insulation that when you unpack the unit seems to fit on the back wall of the Sauna, you need put this on the bottom, also there are plastic tubes in the front that fold down to lock the frame in place. Once these 2 items are in place the Sauna is very stable.

Grab a towel and start sweating, it's great on cold days.

I bought this sauna about 2 months ago from a different site as I was able to get a better price. I LOVE this unit. As someone who suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, I have tried many modalities to rid my body of pollutants and toxins that we get bombarded with every day. This sauna has made a HUGE difference in my life. I use it almost every day. The first few times was kind of tough because I experienced Herxheimer reaction/crisis of healing where the symptoms are more intense initially as the body is detoxing from all of the chemicals it has been exposed to. Felt like a very nasty flu. But, since I got through that phase, I have been able to maintain a healthier existence by using the sauna almost every day.

A couple of extra things I do that helps is to dry brush my body before using the sauna. I take a quick shower after brushing and before the sauna to get rid of the powdery substance/skin. My most comfortable and effective setting is #3 for the heat and I stay in it anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. I take a shower immediately afterwards using a brown sugar scrub as it is recommended to NOT use any kind of soap, etc. and I want to finish the exfoliating process. During the sauna, I have to use extra towels. I have a couple on the chair and several on the floor because I sweat like I have never sweat before. I cover my head with a towel so that the heat rises around the neck hole and I am able to get a face sauna as well.

Not only am I feeling better and am able to do much more than I was able to do just 3 short months ago, but my 58 yr old skin is looking much nicer... moisturized. The biggest reward is no more migraines. It is nice to not have to live in a "cave" to minimize the pain and nausea. Along with that is the fact that the body aches and pains are gone as well. After the first 15 minutes, I just sort of melt into the chair. The sauna takes about 2 minutes to set it up or take down. Of all the things I have done for my health over the years, this is by far one of the best.

The other positive thing with this particular unit is that the EMF is rated much lower than comparable models. As someone who is sensitive to electromagnetic fields and is using this modality to get well, I especially want to avoid "bathing" in EMFs.

The only thing I am going to change is the chair. It is just not that comfortable, but is quite sturdy and works until I can find something that will work even better.

update: 08/06/12 I found a chair that works quite well with this sauna at my local home depot for thirteen dollars and 88 cents. It is called an oversized folding bag chair and is made of the same materials as the chair that came with the sauna, but is larger, is padded, and has arm rests. It just fits in the sauna and allows me to completely relax now whereas before I always had the feeling that I needed to "hold myself up". I see that Amazon has a selection of this type of chair, but did not see a padded version.

another update: 08/31/12 One of my boys (7 yr old black lab) was feeling poorly so I decided to try putting him in the sauna and it seemed to work great for him. I removed the chair, covered the floor with old sheets and he went right inside and layed down with his nose sticking out. Since I couldn't zip it closed, I again used old sheets that were thick enough to contain the heat and draped them across the top and down the front allowing an opening of about 10 inches to be left at the bottom. He was able to leave anytime he wanted and elected to stay in for about 15-20 minutes each time. After the 3rd time/day, he was feeling much better... running around and playing tug of war with his brother. No proof that the sauna helped much &/or that he wouldn't have just gotten better over those 3 days without the sauna, but I do know that animals tend to find what they need and since he decided that he needed/wanted to be in it as much as he was... I believe it did help to some extent. especially since I offered to him again this morning and he refused.

I love this little heater! It is never warm in my building, but it puts out a lot of heat and keeps me very warm and toasty all day at work. It has an over-heat feature (automatic shut-off), which is especially good from a safety aspect, two heat settings, and an adjustable thermostat so that you can choose the level of warmth you prefer. It is also much quieter than other portable heaters I have used in the past. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

This thing is small, but heats a normal sized bedroom really well. It's not too noisy and has several different settings to adjust. It also isn't hot to the touch which is great for me since I have a toddler in the house that likes to get into everything. I would definitely recommend this to others!

I decided to review this because I saw bad reviews and I have used this heater in a travel trailer I lived in for 18 months and it works great. I was googling how to clean it when I came across this site. This heater worked great for the price and I ran it many, many hours. I would not leave a portable heater with a fan on when I am not at home, if you need to do that I suggest you get a quartz, infrared, or oil filled portable heater with no moving parts. With that said there is a switch if a pet or someone knocks it over it will shut off. I would recommend periodically blowing it out with compressed air like the cans for computers if you use it a lot. I had to disassemble to clean the dust from mine which was easy except for two plastic corners that space the heating element that I did not see how they were set before they fell out. I figured it out an it's running like new. The initial smell when you purchase it is normal for all portable heaters and will burn off. As far the 150 square foot rating that is really a guess. Outside temperature, R-value of the walls, thermal mass of the structure are all things that effect that. For it's small size it puts out quite a bit of heat but it won't heat a 30 foot trailer in 5 degree F weather. Unlike an oil filled heater it instantly starts putting out heat and it is directional. For a small inexpensive heater it has run a lot of hours with no problems.

My unit gives off a "hot plastic" smell when turned on. It doesn't bother me that much, but the wife is concerned about the possible health effects the odor might have on the kids. I have a total of about 48 hours run time on the unit, and if the smell doesn't burn-off soon, then I'll have to take the unit back.

I bought the unit for the Travel Trailer to do some winter (Holiday) camping. Electricity is included in the site rent, so why not use an electric heater instead of using my propane? The trailer is 250 sq. ft. interior. I had to go to Home Depots web site to find that the unit only heats 150 sq. ft. It'd be nice to have that info on the box before opening. The unit is only good for a 20 degree ambient rise in temperature. So if it's 35 degree out, inside will be 55 degrees. A bit cool. You can buy the taller model, but it's still only rated 1,500 watts for 150 sq. ft. Home Depot carries my unit for $22. If the smell burns off, I might another and run both.

Got this item yesterday and plugged it in. Was very impressed at first. The temperature indicator was showing rapid temperature decrease finally down to 45 degrees. This was inside a 78 degree home. Ok, I then put a thermometer inside the unit and closed it up for an hour. The external display showed 41 but the thermometer I placed inside was showing 52. This is all done inside a 78 degree home. I'm more inclined to believe my thermometer then the display. I placed 3 chilled 16oz water bottles inside and left them overnight. Took them out in the morning and they where cool, but not cold. The 32 degree claim on the box is pure puffery in my opinion. The 40-45 degree drop from ambient temperature is also was not confirmed in my test. I'm returning this unit. It isn't going to 'cool' anything to near the advertised claims.

I know I was not the only one to be misled by the product discription, and when I contacted the seller about the 'missing wall plug' all I got was the runaround. Be aware this item only comes with the auto-plug feature, the optional wall plug is only if you buy it seperately, that is, if you can find it.

The fridge comes with a temperature display that has never worked, the cup holder is a cheap, roughly hewn soda-can holder that flips open akwardly from the top of the front panel.

I have also found the fridge to be miserably under-powered. ALL it will do is lower the ambient temperature of the room slightly, and if you place items in the fridge that aren't pre-chilled, you're wasting your time if the mini-fridge isn't kept in a briskly-chilled room or car.

If ever I was to regret a purchase, this is definitely it.

To note, I have not tried using the warming feature.

I do not know where to begin.

I bought this to replace a similar older Wagan I got from Costco 5 yrs ago. That one used to hold 6 small water bottles standing up (8.25" height each). This one is a piece of junk. The same water bottles do not fit anymore. It slopes down towards the front, so it is much shorter.

I have no idea who could have designed this, they probably never seen a plastic water bottle before.

I guess the product photo showing the cooler open with the content exposed is the way it was designed for.

The whole thing is plastic. The top has a useless cushion.

The latch is so cheaply made, it pop up and leaves the fridge open.

I have to keep scotch tape on it.

The front face does not seem to be mounted securely.

Does not come with AC adapter, so I bought a Black & Decker adapter for $17 at Walmart, and it looks like it can easily outlast the cooler.

It is very under powered, the manual says reaches 34 deg, yes if you place the cooler in you fridge.

Stay away from this, it is a disappointment.

Honest reviews on Wagan 2260 Thermo-Electric Fridge/Warmer - 6L Capacity

Product works OK if you plug in the empty cooler the night before you want to use it. Then put in the COLD beverages, cold fruit, etc immediately before you are ready to go. In that case, the cooler will keep your food cold. To do this, buy the 110/12V adapter, so you can plug the cooler in at home the night before. Then when you get to the hotel or whatever the next night, plug the cooler into the wall and let it run all night. If you do these things, the cooler will meet your expectations. If you are not prepared to do this, better use the old fashion ice cooler.

This fridge is pretty small. Good for a couple bottles of water and maybe a snack. I spend a lot of time driving for my job which is why I purchased it. You have to be driving for a while before it gets adequately cold. If you're going to be driving only intermittently throughout the day, the fridge won't stay cold very long while the car is off. The inside of the fridge is not really insulated to maintain the coldness.

The pros:

*I love the timer on top of the kettleI timed how long it took the kettle to heat to each ideal brewing temperature, and now I can just set the timer and leave the room. So convenient!

*It's attractive and goes well with the rest of my black appliances.

*The steeping basket is a good, fine mesh. Very little mess at the bottom with finer-cut leaf teas, and none at all with the larger leaf teas.

*Heats the water very quickly.

*The inside is stainless steel, so you don't get that weird plasticky smell/taste in your tea.

*Keeping the kettle clean, I have not had difficulty with staining or scale build-up.

*Takes the guesswork out of green and white tea brewing.

The cons:

*While I understand the cord is short for safety reasons, I do wish it was a bit longer. I also wish it was retractable.

*No whistle. It isn't really necessary with the timer, but somehow I'm just accustomed to my kettle whistling. Wouldn't affect my decision to buy it in the future.

*The timer only measures in whole minutes, when sometimes half-minute increments would be nice.

*The kettle won't maintain lower temperatures; you just have to unplug it when you get the temperature you want, and either steep a whole pot of the same kind of tea, or keep re-heating the water if you want to make different teas.

I'd been considering a few different, more expensive multi-temperature models of electric kettles/water dispensers, and I'm very glad I decided to go with this inexpensive (not cheap!) alternative.

I purchased this as a tea maker because the last one that I had finally died on me. It wasn't nearly as great as this, with all these features, however it did the job.

Awesome product! Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves tea!

A nice tea pot actually holds 40 oz, so you can't really call it a little tea pot. It does what it says it does, you put water in the pot and watch the temperature and when it gets to the right one, you put the tea in the infuser and put it in the pot. It is all pretty straight forward and a pretty good deal for the money. So the complaints I have read, it beeps when it gets to the last minute, well my stove does that too, because it doesn't time less than a minute, but will count down the last minute so you can stop it... important if you are brewing your tea for 2 and a half minute. The infuser is easy to put on. The thermometer is easy to read even with my bad eyes, same for the timer. So do I wish it had a longer cord, yes the cord on this is really short, do I wish it had an off button so when it got to the right temperature you can turn it off, yes, but I plugged into a surge protector and when it gets to the right temperature, I just flip the switch. Do I wish it was on a detachable base, you bet... but honestly for the price it does a great job and I am thinking of getting another, just so I have a back up. You want a system to brew tea and do everything for you well there is a $250 machine out there, for the rest of us, this works really well. And then we can spend money on the tea not the machine.

Honest reviews on Presto 02704 Heat 'n Steep Electric Tea Kettle

Pros:

+ Useful color-coded thermometer

+ Boils water fast

+ Stainless steel interior

Cons:

Lacks an on/off switch

Timer not connected to anything, just battery powered.

Short cord

It's useful enough to do what I need it to do: boil water for tea. If I want a green/oolong, I can just look at the thermometer and unplug it when I want to. I invested in a $2 switch for it, so I don't have to keep unplugging it and creating a big spark each time.

I ordered this because the description said it was stainless steel inside. Only the bottom warmer is stainless, the entire housing is plastic. Plastic releases toxins on a molecular level when heated. It is damaging to your health to drink from hot plastic containers.

This could be a really great piece, but the construction quality is incredibly shoddy. The welds are messy, the tile looks cheaply put together. Also, the tile panels don't line up, the pan in the middle is out of round, and it generally looks cheap for a $300 piece of hardware. The one good part, as usual, is Amazon.

It was love at first sight, A great looking heater, producing oodles of heat even in upstate New York, and using 1/3 of the wattage of my baseboard heaters what's not to love? I picked up six of them and mounted them on various walls around the house.

The honeymoon ended after 18 months. The heater in my bedroom started singing a tuneful but dolorous melody whenever it turned on. A few weeks of that and it sang no more. Curious, I removed it from its wall mounting and discovered large, deep cracks on the surface of its backside. Even more curious, I started removing some of the other heaters. Though only three had scary cracks, all showed some signs of cracking. It did not seem to matter whether they had been mounted on interior or exterior walls. They cracked. I wish the manufacturer had gone to Corning for the ceramic!

Fire hazard, I said to myself.

Divorce was inevitable.

As we try to turn back the temps at night, so we dont heat a 2,000 sq ft house, while we sleep under the covers...I have 2 kids which dont always stay under the covers!

So I used the typical space heaters for a while, ugly as the are, and at 750 or 1500 watts, they kept the room temps up just fine.

Along comes this wall unit, at 400 watts. It attaches to the wall, can be painted to match the room, plugs into any outlet, and one can heat a small room by itself.

While I do not recommend these for primary heating, because they take too long to warm up, I HIGHLY recommend them for seconardy zone heating for bedrooms.

Connecting two of more per room, and you probably could use them for primary heating and *could* take the place of base board heaters. But 2 or 3 panels would take up a lot of space and not look good, thus I do not recommend replacing baseboard heaters with these panels.

These are on simple switches out of the box, there is no thermostat. I have found the Lux WIN100 Smart Temp Fully Programmable Thermostat to be the ultimate solution. Set the times you want the heater on and off, set the temps you want, plug it in, then plug in the heater...and your done for the season.

My house is heated by a propane fireplace. With the cost of propane rising dramatically, I bought three of these heaters last year and used them all winter. I heated my full 1200 square foot living area with those three heaters at an approximate cost of $1 per day. I can't recommend these highly enough. And if you have children or pets, they are very safe--they do get hot, but not hot enough to burn you. Plus, they are totally quiet.

I have recommended these heaters to friends and neighbors.

Honest reviews on Eco-heater 602 High-Efficiency Electric Panel Whole-Room Heater

In a word...Hooray. Low energy consumption (400 watts), no tipping over, easy to install, nice toasty heat, this heater has many benefits. My home is heated by a centrally located fireplace (so I'm already a fan of radiant heat) and I use this heater to keep a bedroom warm. Installed this about 1 week ago and so far so good. As promised on the packaging, it really does only take 10 minutes to install.

The only downside is that the panel itself does get reasonably hot, it's true that it's safe enough that you can touch it and not get burnt, but you won't want too do that. I was going to install in a kids room, but had second thoughts after giving it a test run. Also it would have been great for the manufacturer to include information re: direct wire installation or use of a thermostat. ..but these are really minor points compared to having a great heat source that is safely out of the way, mounted to the wall, and efficient.

I bought this heater to install in the nursery so the baby's room would stay warmer overnight while the rest of the house went down to 60 degrees. The house has attic insulation, but no wall insulation, and there are storm windows.

The good about the heater: It is unobtrusive. We have it installed on an interior wall out of the way. It is easy to install; it took about 10 minutes. It keeps the baby's room warmer than the rest of the house. I also like the fact that it uses less power than a standard heater. Not only is it cheaper to run, I have fewer concerns about overloading circuits. I like the fact that it has a paintable surface, although I haven't decided if I am going to paint it. I have heard that painting radiators reduces their efficiency and I don't know if that applies to this heater.

The less than good: We have had this heater on in a rather small room (10 by 10) with a hot water radiator system, and over night it only seems to bring the temperature about 5 degrees above the temperature in the rest of the house. Based on other reviews of this heater and others, I ordered the plug in thermostat. I think I will return it because I won't ever need to turn off the heat because it is too hot. Also, the passive heating means that it takes a while for the heater to have any impact on the temperature of the room. I turn it on at 6 pm so that the room will be comfortable when the central heat goes down to 60 degrees at 10 pm. My final concern is that the heater says it can be mounted at any height, but that it works best closest to the ground -6 to 18 inches above the baseboard. I was hoping to install it higher so my baby wouldn't accidentally burn himself on it. Since heat rises, I should have realized this flaw in my logic.

I don't think this is a bad product, it just isn't as good as I wanted it to be for $150.

The Honeywell heater arrived packed within its own box within an Amazon box and was well protected. Getting started was as easy as plugging it in. All the features have little icons on the heater but you may need to review the instructions once to understand the icons. Pluses: the heater begins to warm immediately. Even the low power setting seems to generate heat for a small room. The oscillating feature is virtually soundless. The timer turns off the heater within a few minutes of the setting. Minuses: While the temperature display is very easy to read, the actual temperature setting is like a toy. The heater does cycle off close to a setting but the displayed temperature is not very accurate. Also the temperature resets to 75 when the unit is turned off so your desired temperature must be reset every time the unit is turned on. Also, every button that is pressed creates an annoying "beep" that I cannot seem to turn off or decrease. Overall, this is a good basic heater suitable for smaller rooms.

I'm using this heater to help regulate temperature swings in an over air-conditioned office. You would expect that having a thermostatic control would direct the heater to switch on and off as required to maintain a narrow range around a preset temperature. With this Honeywell, comfort requires manual switching because the thermostatic temperature control functions poorly. When the heater reaches +1-2 degrees above the preset temperature, the fan and heater element shut off and the thermostat should then be monitoring room temperature to determine when to restart the heater, (at least that's how it's supposed to work).

Reality is: once the thermostat triggers the Honeywell heater to shut off at a preset 72 degrees; the fan stops immediately and the displayed temperature quickly rises about four degrees. As the unit cycles off there is no airflow over the temperature sensor so the thermostat is no longer sensing room temperature; it's actually sensing residual radiated heat from the unit itself. As the office A/C kicks in, actual room temperature drops from 72 to 66 but the Honeywell heater display shows 76 and won't cycle on because its temperature sensor is still responding to residual heat in the heater. At this point the thermostat was set at 72, the Honeywell temperature display shows 76, and the actual room temperature was 66. The only way to restart the heater at this point is to reset the Honeywell's thermostat to 78 or above. As the heater cycles on, the fan restores air circulation past the internal sensor and the temperature display indicator quickly drops from 76 to 66. Now the heater won't shut down until room temp reaches 80 degrees because it was necessary to reset the thermostat to 78 to get the heater to cycle on when the actual room temperature was 66.

This heater isn't a 'set it and forget it' affair. I found my office was consistently too cold, then too hot. This demonstrates a latent design defect where the temperature sensor is either located too close to the heater element, poorly shielded, or worse. Most thermostatically controlled heaters I've experienced, address this issue by continuing to run the fan for a couple of minutes after the heater element shuts off to dissipate residual heat and equalize internal heater temperature with room temperature so the thermostatic sensor is accurately tracking ambient room temp. I've already had two of these heaters, so it isn't a defective unit, its a defective design.

Your choices with this heater are 14 degree temperature swings with thermostat function, or switching the heater on and off manually. A remote control would be greatly appreciated since manual operation is necessary for temperature control. Note that competitive units INCLUDE a remote; my recommendation is to keep shopping until you locate a heater with a remote. (Ironic that a company that made its reputation for thermostatic controls can't make a thermostat function properly in a space heater.)

I'd speculate that similarly priced, thermostatically controlled space heaters would likely function as poorly as this Chinese-made Honeywell and I wouldn't be surprised to find they're all made in the same factory. In my opinion a remote control would be an infinitely more desirable feature than a poorly executed, wonky thermostatic control.

Best Deals on Honeywell Electronic Ceramic Tower Heater, HZ-3750GP

Heater warm quickly. Oscillating feature is very good. The timer turns off the heater within a few minutes of the setting. Actual temperature setting is not real accurate but you learn to adjust to it. I don't like having to reset temperature each time unit is turned on, however, overall, this is a very good heater for small rooms.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Electronic Ceramic Tower Heater, HZ-3750GP

Not for babies, I wanted to keep temperature more or less constant at around 26oC for the small baby room, the HZ-3759GP turned out to be noisy and the room temperature goes down little more than two degrees oC below the set temperature before the unit turns on (too cold) and then the unit will not turn off until the temperature goes two degrees above set temperature (too hot), that is a 4oC temperature swing!!! of course I measured the temperature with a calibrated ambient thermometer...since the built in thermometer does not do a good job tracking the room temperature...may be that is the problem.

I HAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED ANOTHER BRAND OF ELECTRONIC CERAMIC TOWER HEATER AND WAS VERY UNSATISFIED. I PURCHASED THE HONEYWELL AND GUEST WHAT'IT WORKS GREAT' I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ALL THREE OF THE HEATERS. THERE IS VERY LOW NOISE TO THESE UNITS AND RECOMMEND THIS BRAND TO EVERYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT CERAMIC HEATER.
