Cheap Honeywell HZ-690 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater

Customer Ratings:

I got a one-month propane bill for $300 this winter and I hadn't even had the house comfortably warm. Overwhelmed at the cost of the bill, I sought an alternative. Since it was an exceptionally cold winter, it seemed there were no heaters to be found anywhere. Locating one at a Target, I purchased it as the only option available to me.

It was such a toasty, seep-into-your-bones kind of warm I decided to buy a second one. This has kept me very comfortable. It's such a welcome heating choice. Even my cat loves it. I can find her snuggled RIGHT next to one or the other of the heaters. It's a safe kind of heater too. Sometimes the cat will actually curl into contact with the heater. She'll sleep quite happily there until at last she gets too hot. When that happens she leaps away from the heater, giving me a very dirty look like it was all my fault. Silly cat.

The BIG advantage though is the cost savings. My $300 propane refill bill went to $0 (my tank hasn't needed refilling yet!) My electric bill did go up though (as one would naturally expect). The electric bill? $30 higher than the previous month!

So in effect, I purchased two of these heaters and paid $30 more in electricity and still came out ahead of that horrendous propane bill of the month before. From $300 for heating to $30.

YEAH!

With the cost of natural gas way up last winter, I wanted to see if I could save money by using supplemental heating in some parts of the house. I bought this one to use in my daughter's bedroom at night because I figured it was safer than a coil heater.

The Honeywell 690 has more than met my expectations. It is odorless and silent (except a very quiet click when the thermostat goes on and off), easy to adjust and move around, and on its lowest setting (which I use exclusively), it is hot, but not too hot to touch. I'm able to turn the house furnace down as low as I dare (to about 50...don't want to freeze my pipes) while my daughter stays nice and cozy in her bedroom. And I really didn't notice any increase in my electric bill. But while everyone I know was passing out over their gas bills, mine was quite reasonable all winter.

The nature of an oil-filled heater is that it takes time to heat a room, but then it does a fantastic job of keeping the temperature steady. You don't have a super hot zone right next to the heater with it cold everywhere else. In areas where we want quick, brief periods of heat (bathroom, kitchen table), I'm using fan-assisted coil heaters. But in rooms where the occupants will be spending hours (bedrooms, family room, home office), the slow, steady heat of the Honeywell 690 is perfect.

I was so pleased with how well this performed last winter, I'm going to get one for my bedroom this winter.

Note: If you buy one and it has anything beyond maybe a slight smell the first hour of usage, take it back for an exchange. I'm very sensitive to odors, and I never smelled anything with this heater.

It takes a few hours on the high setting, but it can warm up my small basement real good. Then I turn it to medium or low during the night, so I can get out of bed real comfortable in the morning. Dandy thing.

I used this item under my desk all last season instead of a typical space heater. I am an energy conscious person and I knew that most small space heaters start at around 1000 watts. They blow hot air which promptly rises to the top of the room. Ironic since most people are complaining about their cold feet. Because this item only draws 90-120 watts, it can very safely be run through a timer. This allows you to have it automatically turn on just before you arrive at the office and turn off when you leave in the evening. There is an odor associated when you first begin using it but it does fade in time to be almost un-noticeable.

The low priced version from Amazon.com was temporarily out of stock so I had to buy the 36" by 16" heated mat from another seller.

NOTE: Rating lowered to two stars due to lack of durability (see update at bottom)

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

The mat with plug and lighted rocker switch plus a set of directions.

I also bought the optional plug in high-low switch which is really a good idea. I will tell you why shortly. I use my mat on top of wall to wall carpeting at the foot of my recliner. It's perfect for the four season family room where I have it sitting in front of my recliner on a carpeted floor although I am debating putting the heated mat under a throw rug. The room has plenty of glass so the thermal transfer is not optimal for cold and windy nights.

Pros -Warms up quickly, no smell from the rubber mat as others have reported. Not only are your feet kept warm but the entire area of personal space warms up to a nice cozy feel. Mat has an on-off switch which lights up when on and goes off when turned off. The optional high-low switch provides plenty of heat on high if your toes get cold. Best way to use it is to turn it on HIGH for a 15 to 30 minutes to warm things up and then switch it to the LOW setting for ongoing warmth. What a great device. It works like it claims.

Cons -None other than the black rubber mat decor theme won't win any awards from home decorating magazine editors. I will try tucking it under a more stylish rug.

Summary: You will like the mat. Do yourself a favor and buy the high-low switch for regulating the temperature on a floor where you walk around in your bare feet or with socks. If you use this on a cement floor, you'd want it at max output just to keep things warm.

One word of caution for anyone getting the idea of using this in a bathroom to warm you feet when you get in and out of the shower. There is no GFI or grounded plug! It's a simple two pin plug so doing so wouldn't be a great idea.

Update 12-27-11

I really like this mat heater. After 3 weeks of use I have concluded the optional high-low switch is a must if you use this to warm your feet when wearing socks or only in bare feet. The high setting is a bit too warm for my liking.

Update 1-15-12

Still working great. I placed a bathroom rug on top of the black mat and it works great and feels better on bare feet or socks. The only downside is my pet bassett hound likes it too.

Udate 3-18-13

After one year of great heat the mat is slowly dying. One six inch section is ambient temp (i.e., cool to the touch) and the rest of the mat is luke warm even at full power. I removed the optional hi-lo switch from the connectin path and it wasn't the problem. I have no idea why it is failing, it just is! The rating has been adjusted to 2 stars because of its lack of durability.

I have had this mat in place under my desk at work and running on high for about a month. It works just as I had hoped. No more cold feet! The smell of "hot rubber" was very evident the first week or so. Even now, if I mistakenly leave it on overnight, there is still a very slight odor that is noticeable when I first come in the office in the morning. (The office is approximately 18'x30' with about 13' high ceiling and is kept closed up at night.) Perhaps with another month or two of use, the smell will go away entirely, but even if it does not, it is not a deal breaker for me because it is hardly noticeable any more.

Honest reviews on Indus-Tool FWB Super Foot Warmer Mat

I use these in my home workshop in the winter. Standing in front of a lathe or milling machine in a chilly shop with cold feet is tough, but with this my feet stay cozy warm and this lets me work in short sleeves in the 50s which provides greater safety around machinery. I've used these for 3 winters now and am very happy with both the heat provided and the durability. I got an identical item from another online retailer.

Completely throwing all warnings out the window (oops), I purchased this with the intent of using it as an energy-efficient heating pad to put under my dogs' bed in the garage. It is definitely energy-efficient, but it doesn't put out much ambient heat. I had the product shipped to work, and it will definitely keep your feet toasty by standing on it! I definitely can't knock it for it doing what it's supposed to do really well! I may have to look into something else to keep my dogs warm, but I think I'll see how this goes when it starts to cool off again.

Also, without putting your face to the mat, there is no smell of rubber. Like I said, I gave it a test run at work when it first arrived. I had it under my computer desk and never noticed any smell coming from the mat.

The photos make this fireplace look MUCH more attractive than it actually is. The outside is very nice but the flame pattern is not even close to the photos.

The flames actually only go up about 4 inches from the bottom and are very hard to see, even in low lighting. As a matter of fact the reflection off the bottom shelf is easier to see than the actual flame pattern itself. And this reflection would disappear as soon as you placed the stones on the shelf, which I will not be doing because I am packing this thing up and sending it back asap.

Also the photos make the unit look much more "flush mounted" than is possible. Looking at the photos you see a SMALL shadow around the outside lip of the unit, but all together this thing sticks out from the wall over 6 inches. And you can't set it into the wall because it vents to the sides and top so it would be a fire hazard.

This unit is especially disappointing because we have two other electric fireplaces in the house already, and we are VERY happy with those! The other units are the free standing kind built into fireplace surrounds.

The second star is only because the unit is very attractive from the front, but in the "off" position!

We were pleased with this product. We bought it for our bedroom and it puts off a nice ambiance. It looks just as it does in the picture, but I do agree it sticks out a little bit further than expected. We initially thought we would recess it in the wall, but the heater blows out the top so that is out of the question. It would not prevent me from buying it again.

It doesn't put off a ton of heat, but it will get the room (with the door closed) cozy after it's on a bit. The flames are sufficient. It comes with a remote control which can be used to dim the flames or make them brighter.

I would purchase this product again. It would be perfect for a 3 seasons room or bathroom with soaking tub.

In my effort to find an attractive "space heater" for my kitchen I found this item. I do like it and it is serving its purpose. That said, I found it a little beat up upon arrival but something I could repair myself. Secondly, the unit really needs to be placed on a wall that is only seen from the front side as it protrudes a bit from the wall which makes it unattractive if you enter the room seeing if from a profile. My remedy since I did not have a wall as described was to corner it. I built a corner support unit so it is properly suspended off the floor. I think they should offer one for purchase for those consumers who would like this but need to corner it.

The disappointment with this item is that it's required to operate a Broan or Nutone Bathroom, humidity sensitive, exhaust fan but neither manufacturer include it in their fan box.

I had to buy it separately because the major Canadian Store, which sold the fan, did not sell the switch and I could not get any sensible answer why not. Amazon.com came through with a timely solution.

Bags - Raffaello Model (White) (7H x 4W x 1D) (7 Pack) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Do not purchase from this company or its products. I purchased a vacuum from one of its distributors and stocked up on bags for the model. The bags were purchased directly from Emer. After receiving the bags, but before the vacuum shipped, (it still hadn't by the time the bags arrived, and so, I canceled the order), I found out that the model had been discontinued for quite awhile! I obtained a RAN # from Emer and paid $16.03 to insure it through USPS for return of the bags and a full refund of $109.00. I have not heard anything from them and it has been 2 months. I will now be able to file a claim with USPS, since it was tracked, (although it strangely disappeared in the mail, almost exactly when it should have arrived at Emer's doorstep across the country) and insured. Unfortunately, when you insure with USPS, be prepared to receive much less back and a long wait. We will still be out around $75.00. Emer has not tried to contact us. A vacuum is something which should not be purchased online, imo. None of the vacuum stores and repair shops had even heard of Emer, when we purchased a new machine 2 months ago.

I agree with the first reviewer. We built a new home 2 years ago. The floors are very fragile and are a dark wood. It seemed that everything scratched the surface of the wood and I searched tirelessly for a vac that would not scratch the floor. Ever was the answer! I have the Donatello model and just love it. Light weight and the pivot action allows you to get into all the corners very easily. I would be lost without this. I have a Dyson for heavy duty action, but it would tear up our hardwood floors.

These bags are worth the price. I removed the carpet from my home and installed darkly stained hardwood floors. I quickly learned that my vacuum, which I've loved for years, would not be the best way to clean/maintain my new hardwood floors. So, I started to research. Do you know how hard it is to find a GOOD vacuum cleaner WITHOUT a beater brush and that is designed NOT to scratch floors? Let me tell you, it's hard! These vacuum bags work perfectly for my Rafaello Donatello vacuum cleaner. I can only recommend this style and brand! It's light weight and it works flawlessly.

Love this unit! Our place is about 800sq-ft, put it in the living room and it cools it and the adjacent kitchen. For our our bed room we simply roll the thing in there, being smaller will cool down much quicker of course. Haven't tried the heater yet but the fan mode alone blows nice and cool. Quiter than expected, and vented properly no condesation build up. If not vented (when brought in bedroom) the holding tank holds a liter and a 1/2 and can be drained in the morning. Love it! Remote such a plus.

I purchased this item about 3 weeks before installing it. Silly me did not read the return process---must return item for refund with in 15 days of purchase !! Once it was installed, the weather was in the high 90's, it does not come close to cooling the room at all. I called the number in the book and they can only send a replacement out. I have to now find a box that it will fit in (becuase I did not save the box it was shipped in---please save the box !!!), and ship it back at my expense. The people in customer service are not very helpful and very lack a daisy to say the least.

This is my fourth portable AC. I have a boat that I frequently sleep on therefore, I pull my ACs out when leaving for an overnight visit. (Decided to do this after I had $10,000 of varies items stolen from my house.) I had intended to buy a Royal Sovereign Portable Ac which is the best of the three that I have but they no longer make my unit and I was not impressed with newer models are prices. I'm glad I got this instead. It works great in a large room. I also wanted one that was black/silver but this is a very nice looking model (better than the picture shows). It takes up a little bit more room than my other units but it is worth the use of space considering how good it works. It was easy to put together and the hoses that go through the window have a slick design better than the rounded models. I wasn't sure if I needed a two hose or if one would do as my other units are two but after reading up on it, I decided to go again with the two hoses. I haven't tried the heat yet but had the AC for two months use it almost daily and it works great. Did the job during a heat wave that was in the 90s with "feels like temps over a 100". It is a little loud but not as bad as my other units. Good price also as I spent several hours shopping for this product.

Update on February 13, 2013. This steamer is amazing and the most used appliance in our kitchen. I steam whole grains in it, reheat food, cook vegetables it's a true winner and highly recommended.

-------------------------------------

I was waiting for more of you to review this steamer but then I was too curious to wait. We have really loved our Oster steamer but we are severly uncomfortable with the plastic components. I have been looking for over a year for another steamer that is BPA free/plastic free. The steamer arrived yesterday and we tried it out right away. I filled it with warm/hot tap water, and it steamed beautifully. The stainless steel bowls are neat. We bought this as an "intermediary" device until more healthy steamers come on the market. They could have added a few things to make this steamer perfect: water tank for 90 min. steaming; ability to add water while steaming; timer that allows steaming at future time; Keeping warm component basically stuff that I liked about our Oster steamer. Also, while the water basket is stainless steel, there is a hard plastic component that goes around the heating element I have no idea what plastic it is or whether it is BPA free and if BPA could leak into the steam and contaminate our food. I hope not.

A very cool advantage of this steamer, besides the stainless steel bowls, is that each basket gets its own steam so e.g. the thai dumpling steam does not flavor the broccoli. Also the stainless steel bowls are easy to wash. Our Oster plastic bowls were hard to clean around the steam holes and the plastic took on weird colors that would not come off.

Update: okay, we are sold we love this steamer; it steams really fast (it is powerful), I made rice and it worked out perfectly (I tried to make rice with the Oster once it was a met mess) in the time they indicated (brown rice, 50 min), and I realize that I can now season my food. With the Oster, only the rice bowl was solid, everything else you could not add anything to it. Today I made the rice, when it was almost done, I added a second level for veggies seasoned with herbs and olive oil just wonderful. Our old rice-cooker is gong to good will. I think this is all we need.

The single best thing about this steamer is that there's no need to worry about plastics (even plastics marketed as BPA-free may leach chemicals that mimic estrogen). I looked high and low on Amazon and this is pretty much the only electric steamer not made out of plastic. FYI, I purchased the 9-quart version (9" diameter, 2.5" deep pans). While we're happy to have the larger one for the steaming capacity, it's a bit hard to find storage space when it's not in use.

Pros:

* No plastics (the "hard plastic heating element" mentioned in the other reviews looks and feel like ceramic to me which is a common material for heating elements).

* The insert pans are optional, so if you have items that are taller than 2.5", you can add another layer and leave out the pan.

* Heats up pretty quickly, and steams all three layers well.

* Simple operation (mechanical dial to set the steam duration).

* Easy to clean, including the water reservoir. The various parts are all stainless steel and can be cleaned easily in the dish washer or with some Bar Keepers Friend. If you don't use distilled water, the water reservoir will end up with scaling, but that can be cleaned easily by heating it with a little distilled white vinegar. There are no hidden or hard to reach bits where mold or nasty mysterious stuff can grow.

* Makes great rice. I'd get rid of our dedicated rice maker except our fancy rice maker has advanced timing features (like setting it in the morning so that it finishes 30 minutes before "dinner time").

* Automatic shutoff safety feature if it runs out of water.

Cons:

* The stainless steel pans are pretty thin and looks cheap (definitely not nice 18/10 stainless steel). If you let water sit in the pans, you will get rust stains (fairly easy to clean off, but you will get them).

* The included chrome plated wire rack rusted pretty badly after just a few uses (replaced with a silicone steaming insert).

* Some sort of machine oil coated all the stainless steel parts. Even after washing everything in hot water and soap, the first couple of times we ran the steamer, some sort of black, oily stuff dripped into the pans. I recommend running the steamer without anything in it a few times until this no longer happens.

* No advanced timer functions. While the simple mechanical dial works great, it would be nice to be able to have the steamer start in some hours as opposed to immediately.

* Takes up lots of storage space. WYSIWYG the layers don't collapse in some clever way for storage.

* Seems expensive for what it is. It's the most expensive electric steamer on Amazon by far. For the cost, it feels like they could have used better stainless steel.

Having said all that, it's pretty much the only electric steamer that's guaranteed to not have any BPA / chemical leaching issues. So until other stainless steel or glass electric steamers become available, this is pretty much the only game in town if the plastics issue is important to you. I'm happy with the steamer overall. It does what it's supposed to. But hopefully, eventually there'll be more plastic free steamers with higher quality components and advanced timing features.

Best Deals on Secura 3-Tier Stainless Steel Food Steamer, w/ Steam360 technology

The best thing I love about this food steamer is ... needless to say, Stainless Steel. The steam baskets are all made of stainless steel, the housing is stainless steel and the water tank is stainless steel!! My previous food steamer, while still functioning, are all plastic, even the water reservoir. Well, I am pretty sure they are safe to use and the manufacturers probably claim the contamination level is well below limit. But have they considered how many other different sources we are in contact with plastics and other contamination. When come in food, it is better to be safe than sorry, and stainless steel is proven to be safe. This is why we bought this stainless steel food steamer. We love steamed vegi, but not comfortable to use our old plastic steamer.

This new stainless steel steamer have not let us down. It is actually more powerful and steams faster. Filling with warm tap water, it steams within 20 secs, pretty amazing. Cold tap water takes a bit longer to boil.

And I love the design too. Apparently the structure is more complicated than ordinary steamer, with more parts. But only the steam basket needs washing after cooking, which is very easy to clean by hand washing. My old steamer baskets have many small holes at the bottom and you know it is a pain to clean all those tiny holes.

My experience with this food steamer is very positive. I will recommend this product.

Honest reviews on Secura 3-Tier Stainless Steel Food Steamer, w/ Steam360 technology

This was a gift from my husband as I had asked for one.

It looks real nice, although the steel/platic bottom combination confuses me.

Things I like about the product:

Basket bottoms are solid, so little food like corn does not drop through like other 'vented' baskets.

You can marinade items and keep the juice in the basket.

The baskets are seperate from the steam rings, they just slot in. Makes for cleaning the baskets rather easy. This also means you can remove a basket but stack the vent rings to accommidate something larger.

The steam vents are located at the top of each ring level, so if you want to cook fish, the steam travels through the vents on the outside, not through the food keeping flavours apart.

The baskets are large, which is great for our 4 person family. You can make an entire dinner from it with decent servings for all.

It has a super large water resevoir approx 6 cups or more. So anything that requires super long steaming does not require a refill.

Things I do not like about the product:

It leaks steam at each level, which can burn if you are not paying attention and want to peek inside to check food.

There is no visiable water level viewing which means taking off all of the levels if you do need to add more water durning cooking.

There is a base plate that sits between the white base and the first level that catches the excess water, this is very shallow with a lip approx 1/4" high and requires being by the sink to take off.

The base does not have a water resevoir insert so draining the excess water from that requires dangling the white unit over the sink to empty, which also means you can only clean out the base with a cloth or sponge wipe.

It came with two inserts in the base, does not state what the purpose of these inserts are in the instructions. One is stainless and the other plastic, they kinda seat over the heating filliment, I assume as a protector. I am clueless on this one.

The baskets do not sit (nest) inside of each other so you need storage space approx the size of the unit to store this. I had to designate a cupboard just for this item.

All in all.. I have to give this a 50/50. The size and holeless baskets are nice, but the impractical cleaning and storage turn me off this.

Not the best review as I am on the fence with this product. However I hope some of the information helps in you making an ultimate decision either way.

This steamer is more than what I could have asked for. On top of that I had to contact customer service just to make sure that it was steaming in proper timing and they responded within the same day and offered to ship out a new one if something was wrong. I kept the original one I had because nothing was wrong after all. Its great to be able to cook three different items at once and with only prep needed. Once done just set the time and wait for it to be done. Brown rice takes about 60-65 minutes; 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Vegetables take about 20-25 minutes (brocolli, carrots, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and sugar snap peas). It start steaming right away and the tree independent bowls are really great for not mixing flavors. Overall I would recommend and I am pleased with this purchase.

Reviews of Muskoka MM2830E Palmer Mantel Electric Fireplace, Espresso

Customer Ratings:

I bought this w/out any reviews; which I never do, however it looks as good as or better than the picuture. The fireplace insert is bigger than most I've reviewed and the flame is fairly real looking. puts off a lot of heat too. The finish is truly a dark espresso.

The only bad thing was many damaged pieces, some parts the wood (particle board) was cracked or chipped. This may not be the fault of the seller as this was packaged nicely, it was likely due to the delievey folks.

I bought this in lieu of a TV stand and overall the fileplace is very nice and holds my 50" slim Sony TV perfectly, like it was made for it. I also purchased a ladder shelf from Amazon to go next to it that hold the TV/Cable components. What a beautiful set up.

We use it to control an attic fan that is timed to shut off at approximately 3:00AM. The fan ran all night long, and the timer dial was still in the same place it was originally set.

Ain't China great?

Had to replace 22 year old timer. This one's specs were similar and choose it for that reason. It came quickly and works just fine

Spring Wound Timer works well and has been in service for several months. I will buy another when needed.

I would recommend this item to others.

This is a great kettle. I've used plastic electric kettles for years but with concern about plastics in the food chain, I purchased this kettle. The design makes the kettle very stable on the counter. Wiping the kettle down with a microfiber cloth will keep the brushed stainless finish looking fine. Instructions say not to use vinegar to remove scale that builds up in the kettle. I do it anyway as I have done in all kettles I've owned. Boil 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water in the kettle, let it rest for awhile, pour it off and boil a pot of plain water to get rid of vinegar and scale residue and kettle will run quietly and efficiently. Enjoy!

I had one for 15 years by this manufacturer. That one was durable and worked

every time. It still works but is suffering from wear. The new one is better engineered: no port in the lid to emit burning hot vapor; the handle is positioned out of way of the steam.

Severe disappointment. This is the second of this model in less than 12 months on which the on/off switch has gone faulty. It's not true 'Russell Hobbs' like the old British days -that name was sold off. If you boil water only two or three times a day, this might serve. I use it an average of once every hour to 90 minutes, and the switch is not up to the job.

It's a relatively quiet, fast boiler, and is a handsome brushed steel finish. Be aware that the lid is a bit too snug, so you may need to adjust the tangs that hold the thing on (use needlenose pliers). It's attractive enough and stable on the base. To keep the inside clean, empty out the unit and stand it upside down with the lid off, overnight.

The fact that it's made in China is not itself a negative. It seems that most electric kettles, cordless or otherwise, do not live up to the reputation of their predecessors.

I wanted a kettle that would have no plastic parts touching the water. This one did. I returned it.

I had purchased a tea kettle 7 years ago, had a larger base and heated alot faster. The newer model is sleeker looking but I prefer the heat time for the older model.

This mini fridge may be good in the car but we bought it for our beverage bar for cream and it just doesn't get cold enough. It is loud, throws off a lot of heat, and it's hard to get the door to close. I'm keeping it only cuz it's too much trouble to return it. Maybe we'll use it on trips but not working for what I wanted.

size is fine but makes a bit of noise & not as cool as hoped. had a previous one that ran for 2-3 yrs & kept things cooler/quieter.

Not any use as a fridge. Maybe as a warmer, or, as a box with a nice door.

Not recommended.

Shipping was on time and packaging was well done. I bought this fridge to store medications. While it is working out very well for the purpose I bought it the unit doesn't necessarily get cold enough to make it a mini beer fridge.

This liner is very good quality and completely worth your money! At first I was worried that it would be a king, even tho is said Cal. King, but it fit perfectly and works great! It has a solid structure in the four edges so it holds itself up while you are filling up the mattress, and we really liked that. Overall, great product!

April 13, 2013 FOLLOW-UP REVIEW I have suffered with this extremely flimsy waterbed liner for the winter bacause I originally installed it last fall and did not want to have to drain and refill during cold weather. Now that warmer weather has arrived, I will be changing the liner within a week or two.

About all that I can add to the Original Review is that this liner continues to disappoint. It DOES NOT "Stand Up"!!! The liner material is so flimsy and the material used to try to stiffen the sides is so thin that each time I try to tuck sheets into the sides, the liner bunches down down toward the bottom and has to be pulled back up into place. This was not at all my experience with two previous waterbed liners that I used over a 20 year period prior to buying this piece of garbage. AVOID THIS WATERBED LINER. Spend a little more and buy something better. I am buying local this time so I can feel the thickness before going to the bother of draining my waterbed. The Amazon Marketplace vendor refunded my purchase price, so it's on me that circumstances (winter) has prevented me from replacing it so far. However, I also should not have to drain and refill my waterbed twice to change the liner due to a miserably low quality product. Shame on Amazon for continuing to list this product!

Sept 12, 2012 ORIGINAL REVIEW I would give this liner ZERO stars if that was allowed!!! This liner was purchased from Rick's Home Store on Amazon. It was advertised as 12 mil. Based on previous reviews, this seemed to be a very sturdy and thick liner, just what I was hoping to buy. The liner that arrived is approximately 5 mil thick.

Unfortunately, I did not realize its flimsiness upon arrival and placed myself in a bad situation by already committing myself to changing my waterbed liner before I fully handled this new liner. I then realized how the new liner felt very flimsy compared to the older one I was removing.

To confirm my "feel" of new versus old, I used my dial caliper to measure the thicknesses of each. To make a long story short, I measured my old liner (heavy duty feel) at 10 mil and this new liner (very thin feel) at 5 mil.

I then used calibrated feeler gauges to confirm the accuracy of my dial caliper. Finally, I referred to several articles and plastic sheeting manufacturer web sites to confirm that I understand "mil" plastic sheeting thickness measurements. "12 mil" is measured at 0.012 Inch thick.

I was sold a 5 mil thick waterbed liner a VERY, VERY cheap liner at a 12 mil liner price. As I mentioned earlier, I mistakenly committed myself to using this liner before I fully understood how truly thin it is, so I am stuck with a nearly $40 lesson (with shipping) in deception. I will be buying another liner of higher quality soon and will toss this one before it fails me. I am very DISAPPOINTTED.

This is the Best Quality liner that I've ever purchased! I recently moved and the thin liner that I had, ended up with many holes and rips. This one is Very Thick, made with Very Good Quality vinyl and the sides are taller than the cheap ones for adequate protection! I would Highly Recommend this liner!

Liner fit frame well and looks like to will be good. Extra bottle of water conditioner is good, but it calls for partially filling the bed, adding the conditioner, then draining the bed and refilling. A lot of effort.

It does what it is supposed to do. I have a 30 feet by 12 feet wood shop and it keeps the building cool or warm. I use dust extraction so no problem with clogging it up. plus i clean the filter every week. A little medium pressure air from my compressor and the unit gets clean. I chose this unit because it runs on 230VAC. So does my dust extraction system. Now when I make saw dust it goes into a bag and not my lungs

The remote does work. I just dont have a reason to use it.

The product fit perfectly into a cement block wall, but we worried before we received it. Every online seller's description we found for it was different--by as much as 3 inches. We finally "trusted" the manufacturer's dimensions rather than Amazon's.
