I realize this is a long review, but this is a relatively pricey unit, so I figured you would want all the hot poop! LOL I purchased this unit to replace an old thru the wall unit that died. Its time had come.

INSTALLATION: I had someone else install it into an existing sleeve in the wall. He had no problems with installation. May be different if you are making a NEW through the wall installation. Also, be aware that this Frigidaire unit requires a 220 electric line. I already had a 220 outlet in the wall from my old unit, but if you don't have such an outlet, you will have to employ an electrician to install one. How to tell if your outlet is 220? The prongs are not turned the same way as a regular outlet. Try to plug a lamp into it. If it won't fit, its probably a 220 outlet. BTW, the electric cord comes out of the LEFT side of the unit when you are facing it. My outlet is on the right side but the 6 foot cord easily reaches it. If you don't want a dangling cord, install your outlet on the left.

CAUTION: Be sure to let this unit (or any AC unit) sit right side up for 24 hours either before or after installation BEFORE turning it on, in case it was turned on its side or upside down in transit. Otherwise you could damage the unit.

REMOTE: The neutral ivory unit itself is attractive; my old one was black and brown, a real eyesore. The easy to use remote is a FULL FUNCTION remote, so you never have to touch the unit once it is plugged in, except to adjust the louvers. You can move the louvers from level to up towards the ceiling (but not down toward the floor) and from right to left and everywhere in between to direct the air flow. The unit has 4 fan speeds: low, medium, high and auto, all accessible via remote. The remote also has a built in thermometer so you can check the actual room temp. Appears to be relatively accurate, but I don't have another thermometer to check it.

COOLING: I've been using mine for about a month now. Its set at 70°, low fan speed, and auto cool, nonstop. Initially it took about 10-12 hours for the house to completely cool down, since even the walls were hot to the touch. Now it runs 24/7 and my 625 square foot first floor is always comfortable. That's saying something because we just had 10 days or so of temps in the high 90s. UGH! Two days ago the actual temp reached 103°. Factor in the humidity and it felt more like 109°. Here in Southeast Pennsylvania, humidity is a four letter word! This unit never missed a beat. The house was comfortable through it all. Keep in mind that I have two 6' x 30" south facing windows and a 6' x6' sliding glass door facing west and the sun beats in all day till sunset.

FAN: On Auto, the fan does cycle on and off frequently. I got used to it. Of course, the fan is noisy, (its a fan!) but not annoyingly so on low speed. Its in the dining room between the kitchen and living room and does not noticeably interfere with the TV in either room. And on Auto mode, the fan only runs when the unit is cooling. Since the fan doesn't run all the time, I do run a cheap pedestal fan in the corner of the living room for additional air flow, which is considerably quieter than the AC fan.

COST: I have not received an electric bill with a full month of use on it, but I don't expect a problem. The key is to run it 24/7 to maintain the temp and humidity so the house never heats up. Maintaining the temp is less work for the unit than cooling it down once it gets hot.

AWORD OF CAUTION. CHECK WITH YOUR POWER COMPANY'S WEBSITE. MANY POWER COMPANIES OFFER REBATES FOR THE PURCHASE OF ENERGY STAR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES LIKE THIS ONE. IF YOUR POWER COMPANY OFFERS SUCH A REBATE, BE SURE TO COPY THE SERIAL NUMBER THATS ON THE SIDE OF THIS UNIT ***BEFORE*** YOU INSTALL IT. AFTER IT IS INSTALLED YOU HAVE LOST THE SERIAL NUMBER BEHIND THE WALL AND WILL LOSE YOUR REBATE. Hmmm . . . Guess how I know that?

I am just about to order this product so please ignore the arbitrary 3 star rating!

I just wanted to help other people out who are trying to see if this product will fit an existing through the wall sleeve!

The specs listed are, "Product Dimensions: 20.5 x 24 x 14.5 inches ; 73 pounds."

You may be saying, "What Length x Height x Depth right?" or maybe Height x Length x Depth?

NO! You would be wrong! As per the Sears.com website for the same product Amazon has listed this as Depth x Width x Height!

Soooo just to be clear...

Width: 24

Height: 14.5

Depth: 20.5

Best Deals on Frigidaire FRA124HT2 12,000/11,700 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I bought this A/C to replace a very old behemoth of a Frigidaire through-the-wall A/C from the mid 1970's. This is one of the only 220 volt A/C's I could find, by the way, which is the same voltage as my old A/C. I was worried that this new A/C would be too small for the old sleeve which is 26" wide by 16.5" high. I was wrong. This new A/C seems to have been designed for the old sleeve that I had. The first step is to remove the old A/C which is definitely a two-man job. You should be sure to put a plastic sheet on the floor in front of the A/C before you remove it. Also have a bucket and some sponges handy. This is because the bottom of the old A/C has a drip pan which is probably full of water. After removing the face-plate, you then pull the old A/C out as straight as possible, maybe wiggling it a bit to get it sliding. It is not screwed or bolted in. It just takes a lot of strength and pulling to get it out. The directions to the new A/C recommended replacing the old exterior grille with the new grille provided. I tried this, but the new grille was too small, so I put the old one back on. Other than size, I noticed very little difference between the new grille and the old one anyway. The new A/C includes lots of different types and sizes of foam insulation, padding and cushions for using around it. After measuring the inside of the sleeve and the new A/C, I decided to first line the outermost top and side edges of the sleeve with the 1.5" stick-on foam strips. I left the bottom edge uncovered because that is where the drain holes are. Then I placed the four dense foam "centering blocks" in each corner of the sleeve floor facing inward (these are the blue pieces that are cut in the shape of stairs). In order to prevent the new A/C from snagging and moving the centering blocks while being slid into the sleeve, I then cut two long and narrow pieces of cardboard and placed them on top of the centering blocks. The new A/C is much lighter than the old A/C, but it is still good for two people to lift it and carefully slide it into the sleeve across the top of the cardboard strips. After it is centered in the sleeve, you can then lift each side one at a time and gently remove the cardboard strips. Voila! A perfect fit with the A/C resting about 1" off of the bottom of the sleeve with approx. 1" of space around each side. You then cut strips of foam for each side, the top and bottom, and then push it in around the front of the A/C. The finishing moulding/edge piece included with the A/C provides a very nice look that hides the foam and the lip of the old sleeve. I did, however, cut and fit some trim moulding around it as well, mainly to hide the rough edge left by the moulding around the old A/C. I was very pleased with how this job went. I expected it to take at least twice as long as it did. Don't worry if you end up with a lot of left over foam and other materials that are included. After it was installed, the new A/C ran very well and cooled down the room very quickly. It is much quieter than the old A/C, but it still makes some noise, as I would expect from any A/C.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA124HT2 12,000/11,700 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I purchased this unit to replace a through-the-wall unit in my condo. The documentation was pretty good; importantly there were specific installation guides depending on the previous unit's brand. Unfortunately, my sleeve is an unusual size. But the unit came with a bunch of foam and fittings so I could make it fit. I especially appreciated the power checking utility that ensures that the right voltage is supplied before the unit can be turned on. Once installed, the unit works great. Quieter than the "library quiet" unit in our bedroom. And the 12,000 btus cool our place quickly and efficiently. A good buy from a reputable company.

It works. We had a week of hundred degree days. I set the unit to 76 degrees and it kept up to that temp. It slid into the existing sleeve easily and came with more foam and weather stripping than I needed. It is noisier than I was hoping for, but it's the fan / white noise that you can tune out after a while.

JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you've got money to burn.....just burn that to keep you warm!!! I purchased 4 of these heaters when I had my boiler go out mid winter of 2011. One never worked right out of the box. When I returned it to the store....they wouldn't take it back. So....out $65.00 right off the bat! One went out the first month....and One worked...on and off...for about 3 months then started burning and power wouldn't go on again. Packed the last one up to move to my rental house this winter and now that I need it....it won't stay on either and smells burned immediately. 4 heaters x $65.00ea ($260) in less than 10 months.....none left working!

I have had lasko tower heaters work for 10 years, that cost less. I also have small Lakewood $10.00 metal box heaters that have worked for years as well.....this COMFORT ZONE heater is JUNK!

I will NEVER purchase anything from Comfort Zone again!

OH....btw....go on google and just TRY to locate a customer support number or address for them!!!!

I purchased 3 of these heaters 2 months ago. I've only had to use them full time the past few weeks. All three have stopped working in the last week. One of them started putting out smoke before it quit working altogether. Only buy these if you don't need them to last very long, and if you'll be able to monitor them while they're on. They lasted just long enough to not be able to get a refund.

I bought this heater in the fall of 2010. It had a made on 8/2010 sticker on the bottom. It worked very well. Always kept the room nice a warm. However, in November 2011 I started noticing a burning smell. Then power button (not the on off button) stopped working. Then today it just stopped working all together. I noticed on the bottom a burn mark and hole. I looked around the area where it was sitting and sure enough my carpet has burn marks on it now. I took the bottom plate off to find that the coating around the small wire connecting to the power button had burned off and the wire disconnected. The wire was lying on the bottom of the unit, hence the burn mark. This is why you should never leave these space heaters on unattended. So in summary, it works great until the it starts to melt down!

This heater shuts itself off after just a few minutes, which is probably a good thing, and smells like something is burning. This order permeates the room and makes one afraid to use again. I was going to put it in my daughter's room but won't now. Be very careful when purchasing this item -could be dangerous!

Bought for seldom used bathroom because it was big enough to fill the hole left by the original fan. Wires in bulb connector started shorting near end of warranty. Replaced bulb thinking that was the likely trouble but wires pulled out of connector during bulb change. Solution offered by customer service was to buy a new unit and swap out the wiring.

We own a B&B made of vintage railroad cabooses in Northern California's wine country and we now own four of these units. Being cabooses, the rooms are about 450 square feet with this unit in the center of one wall keeping the room cool or hot depending on the season.

The nice thing about this unit is that it's inexpensive, installs in moments and just does the job. Our guests don't need to be rocket scientists to operate the included remote control and the unit can cope with summers where the outside temperature reaches 110° and winters where the nights can be in the low teens. The grapes love this weather, but people aren't as thrilled.

The air conditioning mode is the best of all on this unit. There are two fan speeds and you simply select the temperature you desire and the unit does a very effective job of keeping the room very comfortable. When the temperature is reached the unit shuts off as you might expect and comes on again when it's time for another dose of nice, cold air.

The heating function is slightly different. You still set the temperature and all, but the fan never shuts off. This means that as the unit blows increasingly cold air until the compressor kicks in again and heats up the incoming air. This is strange I don't know why the fan never shuts off in heat mode but it doesn't, and this is true of all of these units.

I also had one unit arrive slightly damaged but I was able to fix the problem.

If your room is under about 500 square feet this is a nice, efficient way of keeping it comfortable. I've had one of these units for up to three years with no issues. Considering that some of our rooms use ductless/mini split type systems with infinitely complicated remote controls this is such a refreshing change. The reason I didn't rate the unit five stars is because of the heater fan never shutting off, otherwise these units are great.

I was so excited to find an A/C and heater in one, but unfortunately, this was not worth it. The plug requires special work in the form of re-wiring the outlet, getting a converter (which is not safe or recommended), or I don't know what else. If this came with a standard plug, it still wouldn't be worth it. It did not seem to heat or cool effectively and I returned it.

As I installed 2 units on my boat an when it gets to the mid 80's the units shut down for protection I am sure. I have tried to use insulated blinds to cut down the direct sun and may try another idea or 2 to make them finish the season. I think this environment is to harsh for this type of air conditioner but have other uses at the main house. Other than that when the temps are lower they work very well. I am hopeful tech service may offer a idea to try

It fits Kitchenaid 6QT model, and you don't have to change any parts. You need two bowls if you are making cakes. I bought the used one from Amazon and it was less than 30 dollars. Best deal.

For anyone wants to buy...this bowl is wide mouth bowl which is for Costco 5.5qt KV25 model. It also fits 6qt model, which is KP26 model. It is not as deep as 6qt bowl. So, it makes easy to whip or do anything small amount. I actually replaced my 6qt bowl by this one. 6qt bowl was too big and heavy to me.

Not much to say, it is a bowl, when you need one nothing else will do. When ordering however be sure to identify whether you need a wide bowl or a narrow bowl. Size is one thing, like 5 qt but then you have to know wide or narrow as well. If you get the wrong size it will not fit on your mixer.

I have a 5.5 model KitchenAid mixer from Costco and when I went to buy a second bowl (because I find 2 are necessary if you are making frosting, a double batch of something, a layered cake, etc), I found that they don't make replacements for the 5.5 model! I e-mailed KitchenAid and they told me the 5 qt option (KN25WPBH) and a 6 qt option (KN2B6PEH) would both fit. I ended up going with the 5 qt one (I think it was on sale) and it works perfectly! It fits without me needing to make any adjustments and somehow mixes perfectly for both the 5 qt and 5.5 qt sizes! Highly recommended!

Review of Lifesmart LS-4W1500X Wood Infrared Heater

Customer Ratings:

I have already owned a similar one for a year now and am very pleased

I have no Idea why others complain that it doesn't heat the 1500 sq. ft .I does, they must have missed the part that says its not to be used alone as the sole heat source.

I use this heater in my bed room and parrot room, and haven't had any issues with loss of humidity

the washable filter and remote is a bonus

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

So, first the positives about this unit: the wood cabinet is attractive and stays cool to the touch. The washable filter and remote control are a big plus. It has several heat settings to choose from, which is another plus.

But here are things not mentioned in the blurb about the unit, but are mentioned in the owners' manual. When deciding where to put it, the area in front of and behind the unit must be clear of any other items for several feet. So no putting it with its back to a wall. But the larger issue is that this unit needs its own circuit. Not just its own electrical outlet, but a circuit all its own. It draws too much power so it would trip the circuit breaker if other things are running on the same circuit. Pretty impractical, in my opinion. Naturally you'd want this unit in a room you're using, and presumably using other electrical appliances that are on the same circuit. (Most electrical circuits are 15 amps. When this unit is running at full power it would be drawing most of those amps.)

Despite this, I managed. I bought the unit to heat the den and adjoining kitchen, a total of about 700 sq. feet. Fortunately I have a small office off the den (about 150 sq. feet), so I have the unit plugged in there and facing into the den. The office has its own circuit so the heater draws its power from there. I'm just not able to use any major electrical items in the office, but I worked around that.

Another thing: the owners' manual says you can't use an extention cord with this unit. Yet its power cord is less than 6 feet. Another impracticality when deciding where to put the heater and yet have it somewhere it can evenly distribute heat. Like I said, my unit faces into the den, but I'm also trying to heat the kitchen with it too. The den gets nice and warm but the kitchen is noticeably cooler. In essence, uneven heating (which I guess isn't surprising).

I waited to write this review until I received the electric and oil bills. The electric bill went up by $75 for the month I was using this unit. (I have our house heat set at 62 and use this unit to bring it up to 68 degrees.) But the oil bill, which is usually about $450 a month, went down by about $200. So I am realizing some savings there. Of course there are lots of variances in what cost savings can be realized, like the square footage of the area you're heating, what your thermostat is set at, the insulation of your house, how often you run the unit, etc.

If I had to decide whether to recommend this unit then I'd probably not advise it. If I had to do it all over again I think I'd put my money towards a wood stove.

Best Deals on Lifesmart LS-4W1500X Wood Infrared Heater

I wish I had read more reviews before I purchased this brand of infrared heater. Like so many other customers, I bought the unit in November and it stopped working in January. It was effective when it did work, although mine never did register the ambient temperature. I do not think it is coincidence that the Owner's Manual had nothing to say about the error code, "E1". That is what the display will show when the unit's heating system wears out. The manufacturer of this heater may bring in a lot of customers with its promises of lowering bills, but it won't keep customers with these durability problems. It seems that LifeSmart must have programmed a short life into its infrared heaters, which does ensure that the customer will purchase a second unit, but doesn't build loyalty. If you buy this heater, you will be happy with it for about 90 days. Just consider it to be disposable and you won't be disappointed.

Honest reviews on Lifesmart LS-4W1500X Wood Infrared Heater

We purchashed this product to replace a radiant style heater. The main concern being that we didnt want our 3 year old to burn herself.

One of our bedrooms is too far from the central air handler and never seems to get as warm as the other rooms. We placed this heater in the room for use at night. I use the low setting (750W) and set the thermostat to 75 works great and stays cool to the touch. The timer function is also nice so you don't have to remember to turn it off in the morning. It is a bit louder than I expected but it doesn't bother me. After a couple days of use, It stops making the horrible smell when you turn it on.

I'll update the review if anything changes.

right now our husband and i are using this little baby to heat our entire house which is not a mansion but is by no means small. my husband is on the war path about the cost of oil and refuses to use our burner. i'm not saying that the bedrooms don't get chilly (the way our house is designed is most of it is on one floor and the bedrooms are partitioned off from the rest of the house by a series of doors), but the common areas in which we spend the most time are toasty warm. i tend to get hot so i leave the stove on the lowest setting most of the times and that's enough to warm the house. it's a good looking piece of "furniture" and doesn't detract from the room. it eats about a bag of pellets a day on the lower settings and is virtually no work. it stays lit without any tending, reignites easily once it has been turned off, and only requires a vaccumming out every day or so to collect the excess ash. if you buy one, which i recommend, you need to buy the ash vac with it because trust me you will be using it and you don't want hot ash going into your regular vac..

I just purchased this heater to heat an 8-12 room and it works very well. There have been no overheating problems, the fan is reasonably quiet, and the room is heated very quickly. The tip-over safety device works extremely well, as does the thermostat; however, one doesn't set a particular temperature in degrees, once the room is warm enough the thermostat is adjusted until the unit just goes off and then it maintains that temperature. All metal construction, looks well built, sturdy, and durable.

I live in San Antonio, so winters are not as drastic as farther north; however, we do have months of 40-degree nights. I use this in my efficiency (250 sqft). It is powerful for such a small heater and works well to keep the place warm. On coldest nights I supplement it in the mornings by turning on a couple of my gas stove burners for 30 minutes. This is the only heating system I use and am happy with it.

The heater is not decorative, but is solid and sturdy; the fan works great, it is fairly quiet, thermostat is a nice feature to set at night, and it is small enough to work around easily in my tiny place.

I have gone through many nicer-looking heaters which would work for a year, then overheat. This seems as if it is made to last. No oscillation, unfortunately, but the quality and value make up for that. I turn my ceiling fan on low winter setting to circulate the heat and stay cozy.

Would recommend to anyone looking to heat a small place or maybe one room in colder winter weather.

Honest reviews on Geneva Industrial Group Westpointe LH-879 750/1500-WattMilk House

I like this style/type of space heater because I think it is safer--the heating element is not close to the front. And the heater has a fan to disperse the heat.

This heater is easily set for the temperature you want in a room by following the instructions. Basically, when the room reaches the comfort level you want, you turn the dial slowly until the heater shuts off ... and then it will come back on when the temperature drops below a certain level. I like that it shuts off and comes back on this way because some heaters have sensors or dials that don't measure the temperature as accurately, and I have found myself resetting them during the night. What a bother.

I use a Sharpie pen to mark the setting for each of the space heaters and this works very well for me. I turn them off when I leave the house. During the night, I use one or two, one for my parrot--he's used one for years. His stays on when I leave the house, but the range is then set lower--only comes on if the temperature drops below 50 degrees. Has only happened when I arrived home after dark, and found the heater on, so I know the heater works well. He has a thermometer attached to the lower level of his cage.

My parrot is 32 yrs. old and this system has worked for us. He's healthy and has survived well our transplant from California to Missouri. We've lived in MO now since 2001.

I clean the space heaters carefully with a small attachment to the vacuum cleaner to remove dust. I don't open the unit. After two years I replace them for safety reasons. This Geneva unit is the latest available milk house type and it works just as I described. I recommend it and emphasize the fact that If used as recommended in the instructions, the unit is safe.

I don't ever run any heaters full bore for any length of time. Instead, I'll use two separate heaters, each with a little different setting.

By the way, I have ceiling fans, and I reverse the blades so they turn clockwise in winter. The heat then goes down. It helps.

I ALREADY OWN ANOTHER MILK HOUSE HEATER AND WHEN I WENT LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL UNITS I HAD NO LUCK. I DECIDED TO SEARCH AMAZON.COM FOR SIMILAR MODELS. RESULT:

I ORDERED FOUR OF THE MODEL IN THE TITLE AND THEY TRULY ACT LIKE LITTLE FURNACES! I ONLY WANT TO KEEP THEM ON HAND TO SUPPLEMENT HEAT IN INDIVIDUAL ROOM'S ON REALLY COLD DAYS. THIS MODEL IS APPROX THE SAME SIZE AS MY ORIGINAL, THOUGH NOT NEARLY AS SUBSTANTIAL IN WEIGHT. THIS BIT OF A DIFFERENCE REALLY DOESN'T CONCERN ME BECAUSE AT NO TIME WILL THESE MODELS BE ON HAZARDOUS DUTY. THE PRICE ALSO CUSHIONED ANY CONCERNS I MIGHT HAVE HAD. MY FIRST HEATER COST ME NEARLY THREE AND A HALF TIMES WHAT EACH OF THESE HEATERS COST ME. NOTE: THEY BOTH HAVE SIMILAR SAFETY FEATURES.

Just Love it, I was looking for a Fats & Convenient single serve machine and so far, after a few weeks using it, i still love it. The only con is the availability of the T-Disk compare to the K-Cup which is everywhere.

The Tassimo is an excellent alternative to the " other one". It works exceptionally well, is quiet and quite sleek looking. The price of the T cups is comparable to k cup. If you are looking for an alternative to a single cup maker, this would be a great choice.

This worked great for a Party that I had for around 50 people. There was no odor what so ever, (that was one of my worries) and it kept everything a a good temp. It was very solid and I will be able to use it again in the future. I cleaned everything and it fit perfectly back in it's box for the next use.

it worked just well for a party of 30, the fuel was enough for 3-4 hours and kept the food piping hot.

Great item. Wish I had upgraded to get the tin covers, but I was cheap at the time. Now I know for next time.

Honest reviews on 33 piece Buffet Chafer Chafing Serving Kit & Food Warmers - 3

We used it for an outdoor party; everything stayed warm for hours. We were even able to wash some of the pans for reuse. I would, however, recommend buying extra half-size pans; we used quite a few extras having second pans of food ready, and for lids on those already warming. I also bought an extra package (6) fuel canisters but ended up not needing them. Good to have on hand anyway. Plastic serving utensils are flimsy plan on using something stronger. All in all, a great purchase and I would recommend it highly.

I used this set to serve 40 guests for a catered BBQ dinner for over 40 guests and it worked perfectly. I had 4 hot dishes to keep warm and used the third pan 2 of the cold sides. It was very sturdy and the casual look was appropriate for the occasion. I bought additional pans and used them for covers until I was ready to serve. The serving utensils were sturdy enough to be washed and will be re-used. The water pan got a little discolored from the heat of the sterno, but I don't believe this will affect the future use, and of course no one can see that piece. I should have partially covered the flame on the sterno earlier than I did. Clean up was super easy unless you want to wash the pans that hold the food, which is not worth it, in my opinion. I'll be using this again.
