My Soleus HM1-10-32 is used to supplement my oil heat since prices have gone up. I have no problem heating a 18' x 12' living room. I wanted the non-remote version because I've got too many remotes and dont need another one. To my surprise this regular model is now coming with ECO (economy mode).

The heating element consists of two 500W vertical heat panels:

1) LOW: In this mode only one heat panel turns on (the right panel).

2) High: In this mode both (right and left) heat panels turn on.

3)ECO: In this mode both 500W heat panels turn on until the room reaches a certain temp then the right heat panel turns off and the left one remains on until the thermostat takes over and cycles one 500W panel.

Noise: The 500W heat panels will warp at little as they warm-up. This warping makes a low clunk sound. Not loud enough to disturb you but noticable. Also the thermostat makes a click as it cycles.

Power: 1000W seems to be enough for me and doesnt cause heating of the line cord. At this power level the unit can share another device on the same line if need be. The 500W setting works well for most of my conditions. For instance I get home from work and the burner has kept the house at 63 degrees F. I turn-on the heater at 1000W until the living room wall thermostat reads 69 F then I turn the heater to low and let it cycle.

Heat: Since it has a back or rear to the element I tried it up against a wall. This heated the wall up real well. After moving it out in the open it seemed much more effective. The heater emits a LOT of heat out of the top and heats only about out to three feet from the front. I also heats out to 1.5 feet to the rear. Other than that its mostly Infra-red waves to the front and rear and ambient heat to the top.

Very handy carry handle on one side and attractive thin profile make this a real versatile low profile heater. With the Micathermic elements the heating elements are not exposed to the air so it is safe.

I really think this is the future in portable heating because it is the quietest heater I have used. Also with heat out of the top,infra red to the front and heat to the rear its very effective.

Edit: 2/6/07

Well we had our first single digit night here in NY and it kept the bedroom at 68F by using 1000W and letting it cycle all night. Thats 68F with my door open and attic air leaking thru the attic stairs (in otherwords worst case) at 8 deg outside temp. Normally on an 8 deg night my bedroom is 59F.

I also knocked it completely over while walking around in the dark. The Power was off and it lived no problem. No damage works fine.

Another point is that no matter how close it is to objects in the bedroom they do not heat to a dangerous temp. They will get warm but not hot.

When sitting on the coach with it 3 feet away and facing you (maximum comfy) you only feel a mild radiant heat not a blast in the face. Try that with most radiant heaters and you'll get a tan.

Lovin' it.

Does a good job heating a 10" x 12' bedroom. It's totally silent, so it's perfect for the bedroom. It does heat up almost instantly, but at only 1000 watts, does not heat up the room very quickly. Best to turn it on an hour before you turn in, to give it time to heat up the room. I'm using it in a house that I set to 58 degrees overnight, with single digit temperatures outside. The bedroom stays in the upper 60's for the night while this is on. Update: It stopped working after a couple of months. Got a new one that's been working fine all winter. The one year warranty was good, but the return experience was poor. Had to call many times over many days to get an actual person. The return involved cutting the end of the power cord and mailing at my expense back to them (good to not have to pay to send the entire unit back). Plus, had to send them money to cover shipment of the replacement unit (I think it was $16). All in all, it cost me over 40% of the original cost to get warranty replacement. It seems that this is becoming a common practice these days, but not easy to find out until you call for repair. So consider this a heads up so you can factor this in to your purchasing decision.

I bought this item online for $58 and it broke after a few days of very light use. The thermostat failed and the plastic knob broke. I don't recommend Soleus products. Their quality is very bad.

This item does NOT promote enough heat even at a high setting. I recommend the DeLongi flat panel heater, as you can actually mount the heater, and it puts off a great deal to heat at a much lower setting, for about the same price of this unit...

This new model thermoelectric cooler from Whynter is a real gem. I am a white wine drinker, and enjoy my wine at a temperature of around 48-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Most thermoelectrics do not cool that low. Many are not even specified to go below about 54 degrees. This Whynter Model WC-201TD is specified down to 46 degrees. Upon installing the wine cooler I set it to its lowest value. With the wine cooler about half full with standard 750ml bottles, it slowly made its way all the way down to the specified 46 degrees. I was impressed. Not only that, the Summertime afternoon non-air-conditioned temperature at our house over the next 24 hours hit 80 degrees. The Whynter easily "kept its cool" between 46-48 degrees. That's an impressive 32+ degree differential. Wow! I am now chilling my whites, and my wine glasses, in the Whynter WC-201TD, and enjoying this quality wine cooler.

I am very pleased with this heater. It has one or two quirks that I didn't expect (hence the 4.5 stars), but it puts out a terrific amount of heat, looks great and was a real bargain Amazon is the best.

What I didn't expect:

* It's much larger than I expected. My impression based on the pictures I could find was that it was much smaller, but be prepared for a sizeable heater;

* Contrary to the description, it doesn't have a digital temperature readout. I was a little annoyed at first, but then most temperature gauges don't work well anyway, and I heat the room to feel comfortable and not to a specific temperature, so this doesn't matter much to me now;

* The thermostat works differently than I expected. The unit puts out a constant amount of heat, regardless of the setting, but the higher thermostat settings make the unit run until the room is hotter before it shuts off, which works fine;

* I run my heater on a 40 lb. propane bottle. If you plan to run on a bottle, be prepared to buy a pressure regulator, hose and some fittings. Oddly, I couldn't find the right combination from Mr. Heater, but did buy the Red Dragon kit on Amazon, which works well. The only other fitting I needed was an adapter from 3/8" NPT to 3/8" flare, which was only $3 at the local hardware store;

* I read reviews elsewhere that the internal fan is quiet. I like the fact that it has the fan, but find it a bit noisy to my taste. Since I have a vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans, I will rarely use the internal fan. It seems to work fine without it and runs almost silently, which is very nice.

Overall, a real deal in my opinion that suits my needs almost perfectly.

August 2011 Update: A few more observations after using the heater for a while:

* we can smell the byproducts of combustion in the room when we use this heater. This is not surprising since the combustion gases are vented into the room. As a result, we use it sparingly (usually just to warm the room) since the smell can be unpleasant, and undoubtedly isn't good for your health if used extensively;

* burning propane relases a fair bit of water vapour into the room, so we get condensation on the windows. Again, this is not a surprise;

* this heater is certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), which is one of the reasons I bought it. However, the CSA approval is only for use in the USA; these types of unvented heaters are not approved for use in Canada;

* I did some reading online about unvented heaters (sadly after I bought this unit). Anyone interested in buying unvented heaters would do well to read up about the pros and cons before buying.

Ordered the heater back in May of 2012. A licensed plumber (certified in propane) installed the 16 feet of propane line. My jaw dropped when I got his bill: $400.05 -did he really need to include that nickel? The heater cost me $179.95 and I see that it is now going for $239.95. You might want to purchase it off season.

I hooked up the heater to a 15 gallon propane tank and connected the line to the tank using a Mr. Heater 5-Feet Propane Hose/Regulator Assembly. It says right on the regulator, "LOW PRESSURE." ***BE SURE YOUR REGULATOR CAN DELIVER LOW PRESSURE (i.e., it may be a hose rated for high pressure that you can turn down, but you need to run low pressure into the heater or it can damage it. I didn't want to take that chance of any faulty guesswork, so I purchased the hose that had the words "LOW PRESSURE" stamped right on the regulator).

11/07/2012 -EDIT: I wish I had seen this before I bought the other hose hookup. I would have purchased it: Red Dragon SL-1C Low Pressure Propane Hook Up Kit With 10-Foot Hose. Just copy and paste it into the search bar and see what you think.

The instructions tell you to put the control knob on "Pilot" and then press it down (push on it straight down, toward the floor) and hold it for 30 seconds if this is the first time you're using it. Boy, were they ever wrong. First of all, it depends on how long your line is from the tank. My 16 foot run took about 3 minutes to get gas to the pilot light! So, be patient and don't do what I did -wasted some of my AA battery by clicking the igniter constantly for about 30 seconds before I realized what was happening. Just keep holding that big knob down in the Pilot position and then try the igniter every 15 seconds or so until it flames. Once that flame starts, they say to continue depressing the knob for another 30 seconds. Well, that's a bunch of bull crap. You can take your hand off after 6 seconds. Count 'em. The flame will not blow out the pilot once 6 seconds have ticked by.

Our house is 1,727 sq ft. We keep all three bedroom doors, the guest bathroom door and the laundry room door, closed. I'm guessing we're heating around 1,100 sq ft with the heater.

Here are some statistics you might find interesting...

A gallon of propane weighs approximately 4.2 lbs.

A gallon of propane has a burn rate of approximately 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. This means that if you run your heater continuously (30,000 BTUs) you will be consuming propane at a rate of about 1/3 gallon per hour. At 33,000 BTUs, your heater would be right at the1 gallon per hour approximation. I am guessing that my 15 gallon propane tank could therefore run for about 50 hours (because I'm only burning 30K and not 33K). The shorter the time you have your heater on, the longer you'll go between refills of your propane tank. (What's HUD spelled backwards?)

Since I don't want to do the math to calculate how long I can go (in theory) between refills by running my heater for 6 minutes on after each 50 minutes off (see my experiment below), 14 times per day, I went ahead and wrote the date of the last fill on the tank itself. When it becomes empty, I will have my answer and I'll let you know. I started with an empty tank and it took on 14.4 gallons of propane when I filled it at the local station. By the way -I paid $2.99 per gallon! It is much cheaper at other locations, but I was too excited to wait.

Here are some results from a runtime experiment I've conducted:

Cycle #1:

Outdoor temperature: 55.6 F

Indoor temperature: 68.4 F

Time heater not burning: 56 min 46 sec

Time heater burning: 5 minutes 50 seconds

Cycle #2:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 44 min 3 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 54 sec

Cycle #3:

Outdoor temperature: 56.8 F

Indoor temperature: 68.5 F

Time heater not burning: 51 min 39 sec

Time heater burning: 5 min 32 sec

On the large heat control knob, there are small raised dots. There is a dot right at the "1" and then four more dots is where the "2" is. To achieve these runtime intervals (i.e., on/off times), I have set the dial to one dot past the "1" and this is where we achieve our 68 degrees (with temps in the 50s outdoors).

Something you should also know, and I had to find this out from experience. I thought that the low setting would set the flame lower and on the high setting, the flames would be larger. Not so. The dial is merely a thermostat. The flames are pretty much full whether the heater is on LOW or on HIGH. I did notice a little more flame at the very top end of the dial, but it's not much. To control the temperature in the house, therefore, all you need to do is select a spot on the dial and leave it there.

We keep our house at 68 degrees and dress warmer if we get a little chilly. But I am here to tell you, you'll burn a lot more propane if you keep your house just 2 degrees warmer and to us, it's just not worth it. We "wear" our 2 degrees and it doesn't cost us a penny more.

Here's something else -the pilot runs while the flame is off. BUT -when you are not going to be running the heater, just turn the whole thing off, including the fan.

The fan is rather wimpy, but adequate. I think it moves more air than we might think, but if you want more "wind," you might want to augment it with a small electric fan.

CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL YOU! -Having researched many opinions about vent free heaters running inside a home, I decided to go out and purchase a CO (carbon monoxide) detector with alarm. I have a model that includes a digital display of actual levels of Carbon Monoxide and it displays the reading in parts per million. The very first sign of CO poisoning is a frontal headache. Go read all you care to about CO poisoning and what symptoms are brought about by what levels of toxicity (you never want it above 70ppm and you definitely need to leave the house if it ever gets up to 100ppm, but my device detects zero Carbon Monoxide. I have placed the device atop a set of shelves about 30 inches, nearly directly above, the heater. That said, we still have plenty of ventilation in our manufactured home (bathroom fans pull air into the enclosure through vents in our window design) and the heater does come with a low oxygen shut-down safety feature. Which I don't trust. Which is why I bought the CO detector/alarm unit.

Obviously, it is still a warm Autumn with mild outdoor temperatures. But that's all gonna change soon. We bought this heater in preparation for the power outages we'll face when the big Pacific Northwest storms start pounding us.

I am giving the Mr Heater Model #VF30KBLUELP 30,000 BTU Vent Free Propane Heater 5 stars. Wimpy fan or not, this is a kick-butt alternative to any dependence on electric furnaces when the power goes out. And I think it can also hold its own as a primary heat source in any area with adequate ventilation (along with a CO detection device, just to be on the safe side).

Hope this review helped.

I have used several different types of this kind of stove in different locations. Currently have an all electric house with a pellet stove. Found a really nice like new 50 gallon upright propane tank at a yard sale that I'm using right now.

This is not a good do it yourself project for a home owner. These things require a real installation from someone trained and qualified. Once I got the tank, it needed a regulator, a POL, two pieces of flex (one outdoor, one indoor) a ball shut off valve, some schedule 80 black iron pipe to go through the wall with a lot of other pipe parts and a sediment trap.

THEN once everything is set up, it REQUIRES a real leak test and a gas check before it's put into service.

Once all that was installed correctly and completely tested out? It worked great. Probably took over half an hour to get gas to the pilot light though. Which is normal, air gets in there and it has to be purged out while the thing is attempting to get lit up.

Settings on the control go from 1 5. Have not had it beyond the '1' mark yet. 3 bedroom, two bath house getting into the 20's at night, mid 30's during the day I used 10 gallons of propane the first week.

Can't hear it come on and off as it cycles through it's thermostat. Fan has an automatic setting so it doesn't have to run all the time, either.

Big plus with this one for me was that it comes with the legs and fan. Isn't as much fun to watch as my old vent free fireplace but it sure does get the job done for heating this house and is probably less than half what the stupid pellet stove was costing me. With NO hassle. And the propane company will come out and fill the tank the day after I call if it starts getting low.

Couple of the wood stove die hard neighbors are coming around to check this out. Can imagine it won't be too long before they have one of these, too!

It probably took a little over 2 1/2 hours to install.

The shipping on this was a real treat, too. Came right away in perfect shape. Sure don't have any complaints on this one!

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 30,000 BTU Propane Blue Flame Vent-Free Heater

This heater works as well as I had hoped it would and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The "auto" function for the blower fan, for example, causes a delay in the fan operation until enough heat is built up from the flame before it comes on. When the target temperature is reached, the flame goes off and the fan continues to run until it is no longer blowing warm air, then it stops blowing. In other words, this little portable heater work exactly like the furnace in your house is designed to work. It exceeds my expectations.

Ok, I took a little time before reviewing this heater because I wanted to use it for a few days. Here is what I found. Some have said it is large. Yes, its a bit large but it puts out 30,000 BTU's and heats my cabin of 1,000 sq ft. It's not a portable like Mr Heaters Big Buddy's which I also have. There are no handles on it to carry it around. For me at least it is a permanent heater. You can hang it on the wall or attach the legs for floor use.

Setting it up was not difficult but be aware you will need some pipes and connections as it only comes with one elbow for floor use. Some parts I got from Amazon and had my local hose guy put it all together. I did the rest.

Now comes the use of it. At first I had a few problems with the thermostat. It would come on and stay on which made my cabin way too hot. After texting with Bill Sisley at Mr Heater, a great tech by the way, He helped figure out my problem. Notice I said my problem not the heaters. The problem was a draft.

Now the thermostat works perfectly and so does the blower fan. The heater works like a furnace in a large house

All in all it's a great heater and I would recommend it. Just know, you will need to purchase some parts.

One last thing, The heater including the fan is very quiet.

Discount ChiliPad Bed Thermostat Control Dual Zone Queen Heat Cool Mattress

Customer Ratings:

If you live in Arizona do NOT buy this product. In one year we are in the process of getting our third replacement for queen size chilipad. The other two units, just started circulating room temperature water after a couple months of use. They wont give us a refund since we are past the short warranty period, so we have to keep asking for a replacement. And since we are past one year now, we may not get that replacement. The machine cools the water using ambient air in your room. If you live in Arizona where in the summer the outside temp doesnt drop below 80 and many nights, 90, the room in your home is not cold. The Air conditioning system (as with the chilipad) can only bring the inside air down about 20 degrees from the outside air. Thats just a fact of mother nature versus machine. So lets say your room is 80 degrees at night (A/C on), the chilipad really can only bring it down to 60 degrees in theory. Not 48 deg etc. We have never seen 60 degrees regardless. The moment you lie on the pad, it starts to warm due to body heat. So if the machine gets down to 60, it quickly warms up into the 70s. Guess what, you are almost at your room temp by now. The chilipad cannot stay cool. Its just math. Our first machine died on us after two months. It just has to work too hard in the Southwest to attempt to keep the pad cool. Now if you live in Alaska or some place where the nights are cool, this system may work for you. In Winter the system cools great. But that defeats the purpose. Why cool your bed if its already cold? Again its because the ambient room temperature during winter is colder. Thats about the only time you can get this machine to cool down to 50 or lower.

But in locations where the outside air just doesnt cool down at night (Arizona), this system cannot work. So i am sure there are good reviews out there for this product. I am sure just none from hot climates, which defeats the purpose of using the chilipad. The warranty for this product is only a couple months, which isnt long enough. Especially when you are pumping water through a pad on your bed. Too many things can and do go wrong. Be very careful if you spend the money for this unit. The unit has NEVER cooled to anything near what it says in any condition we have tested it in. Add warm climates and forget it. Its a lot of money to waste.

I really hoped that this product would deliver; the idea of keeping your mattress cool in the summer months sounded so seductive. I first started with the queen sized single unita model the company no longer sells because at their own admission, the pad would't get chilly. So then I tried a single unit full sized pad, and it worked a little more efficiently, but still it didn't do the job. So finally I bit the bullet and upgraded to the dual system queen size. The temperature settings purportedly can be adjusted between 46-116˚, but when I set the pumps to the coolest temp, one reached a tepid 66˚and the other 62˚, and that was with my AC cranked to full throttle. I think the pumps' cooling mechanism depend on ambient temperature, so if your room is warm and humid, there is no chance that this product is going to reach the lowest setting. So perhaps if you live in a house/apartment with central air and lots of open space, this may in fact, work well. I happen to rent in the NYC area, where summers are hot and humid, and the older apartments are cramped convection ovens. If you are a latter dweller, then this is not the answer to your hot and sleepless nights. I gave the product one star for two reasons: 1 the heating mechanism works great and with winter on its way, it will be nice to have the extra benefit of warmth, and 2 customer service was genuinely interested in trying to solve my problem. Bottom line: I would not recommend this product.

The Chilipad works very much like the radiator in your car. It exposes your body to a constant flow of water through the hidden tubes. Your body attempts to cool or heat that water to 98.6 degrees. That water is then sent to a processing unit that senses the tempuature of the water coming from your body and then either cools it or warms it depending upon what tempuature you have set the unit to as a goal temp. Then it sends the water back to you. It's a simple idea and well executed by the Chilipad. The response is fast. You will never again have a hot spot in your bed as the Chilipad is constantly responding and adjusting to your selected tempurature setiing. Put a big, cozy comforter on the bed and, no matter the ambient tempurature, the tempurature under the covers stays right where you want it to be. Super product for those of us who have different tempurature needs in a single, queen bed. Sharing a comforter no longer means sharing the same heat.

My biggest fear was that this would not be quiet. It is very quiet. I only hear it when I first turn it on and then I don't hear it at all in 2 or 3 min. Usually any noise bothers me when I sleep.

It works very well keeping me at the temperature that I have set. It took a little experimentation to get "my temp" but after that it is set.

I did order the extension tubing because the device did not fit under, right next to the bed due to the nightstand.

I've been wanting a deep fat fryer for years. I didn't want to deal with most units as they hold 3 or 4 quarts of oil. This little guy only holds 1 quart max. It will even work fine with just half a quart of oil. So far I'm very happy using vegetable oil. It heats up in a couple minutes. It cooks quickly and with the lid, it doesn't make a mess. The unit is quite small so if you're going to cook for more than 2 people, get a bigger unit. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it. I think I'll make some fish fillets and french fries, AKA: fish-n-chips for lunch today. I got this on sale but it's still worth the price. I've been using it often for over a month now and the only con so far is that it doesn't clean itself. To the person who couldn't get the lid to close: Just tilt the basket a little, it will close just fine.

got tired of oil spatters allover the stove and backwall....so i got this hoping somehting good would come out if it.

used it twice. yes....id RATHER CLEAN OIL SPLATTER OFF THE WALL AND STAINLESS STEEL STOVE!

noone mentions...the actual disk the oil sits in is non removable...so you have to spill the oil out and without a spot it drips and runs everywhere.

the baskett......lets just say that after its second use it got rusty....go figure that concept out.

dont even care to mention that any breading if not all just stuck to the basket.

the plug is fine...some people had problems with theirs i guess....mine is ok. it barely sticks on but i understand why it has to be so easy to come off. its a container with hot oil last thing you need is it spilling allover.

do yourself the favor of not spending the money. these mini stupidities are not worth your money. take a pan....hell go buy a small wok with a lid....its gonna work a MILLION times better than some stupid mini deep fryer i spend 40 minutes cleaning by hand....yes...its electric and yes the disk is non removable so you had to clean the damn thing by hand with a wet cloth....cant even put it in the sink.

This is a great thermostat. I live in Michigan, and I have a, well insulated, home office built into one side of my garage. I have used a cheap ceramic electric heater (with a fan and built in thermostat)for 14 years. Until I got this thermostat, the temperature had always varied widely. Most of the time I had to wear a sweater to work in the winter. From January of this year until summer, the Dimplex thermostat kept the temperature constant, with the same heater.

The heater is in front of my desk on the floor, and I mounted the thermostat about 6 feet up, on the wall next to my desk. I have a digital clock, with a thermometer on the opposite wall. Every time I looked at it, from January until I put the heater away for the summer, the temperature was 73 degrees or rarely 72.

The wiring was a little trouble, because the thermostat is on the opposite wall from the out;et for the heater, but it was definitely worth it.

I would recommend this to anyone.

It looks really good in the shower and it IS a rain shower as advertised, however, the short arm it comes with is useless... if you buy this shower head you need to buy a longer arm. The water pressure that comes through it could be stonger but it works okay, I just stand under it longer to get my thick hair wet. Besides, I think all the rain showers are like that.

For a rain shower head it's of good quality and looks great, but the shower arm is unacceptable in my opinion. They shouldn't include it, as it just makes people angry. If you don't plan to buy a longer shower arm with the purchase of this shower head, then don't buy it. I don't regret my purchase though I just wish I would have known I'd need a longer arm... And that's the reason I'm only giving 3 stars.

For the price, this is a fantastic shower head both look and operation. It does come with an 8 inch shower arm, but ideally should have a 12+ inch shower arm.

Great shower head, which meets the quality expected of Pfister. Has shorter arm. Bottom line, a good quality shower head for low ceilings or tall people.

Bi-Metal Egg Incubator Thermostat Kit - Mechanical Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Bought this for a homemade styrofoam cooler egg incubator, in which the temps prior to installation swung from 85-112 using only a lightbulb and no fan. (Still miraculously got a couple chicks to hatch!) Installed this baby (plus a CPU fan) after reading mixed reviews on it's comparison to a wafer thermo and am thrilled! My eggs are now comfortably incubating with no more than a 2 degree swing! Hooray! Hopefully it stays this way with time..we shall see..

I made my own incubator using a water heater thermostat. The temperature range was too varied. I had some chicks hatch but most didn't. If I were to venture a guess it was probably about 25%. Some chicks got stuck to the egg membrane and despite my best efforts died. These were usually my Jersey Giants. With the new thermostat I probably get about a 75% hatch rate now and I've had far more Jersey Giants hatch than I did previously.

Can't set exact temperature. Have to do trial and error to set it. When set temperature does not remain constant. It varies by almost 3 degrees F. Not acceptable for an incubator.

Reviews of Rival Chef's Fry Deep Fryer

Customer Ratings:

simple, straight forward and low priced. this fryer was made for people who fry once a week or less.pre-heat for 10 minutes and you're ready to fry at 375 degrees which just happens to be the perfect temp. for frying most foods. use a splatter screen to catch any popping grease & help control odors.the plastic lid is nice for storing oil for re-use.if you fry a lot, you might want to consider paying more for a model with basket & temp controls etc., however the chef's fryer is perfect for the infrequent fry cook.

The manual was very thorough, and the setup was a breeze. It has a ton of advertised features, I found the following VERY useful:

1. The battery replacement cover is on the front (you do not have to take out the whole unit or take screw out to replace batteries

2. The 1 touch backlight is very convenient to look things up at night

3. The ability to program the device off the wall while sitting down comfortably with the manual and pieces of paper is convenient

4. The one touch feature to tell the device that you home for the day wthout other intervention is convenient.

other than that, what can I say? it works!

'Tis the part of the year when temperatures here range between freezing and 85 degrees, sometimes during the same day. It was a continuous hassle, turning on the heat or turning on the A/C, trying to keep the kids from having pneumonia or the chinchillas passing away from the heat.

My son and I installed this thermostat in about 20 minutes. The directions are very comprehensive, and when it says read through them *before* installation, they are correct RTFM!

As for the thermostat, it has performed well. We set a range for it to stay within, and it does that without any problem. Switches between A/C and heat as needed without our intervention. A great feature is the Home button, which allows you to move to the warmest (heat) or coolest (A/C) setting on days when you are home (or are just too darned cold). Otherwise, set it and forget it no need for seasonal (or daily) adjustments.

We wanted to cut back on costs as well as use less energy, so we researched programmable thermostats and chose this one based on the good reviews. After installing the thermostat and using it for a few days, I can say that we are VERY pleased and that it lives up to the good reviews. It came with everything needed to install as well as very detailed instructions on installation and on using the many customization features. It's tedious to set all of your daily options I mean, you have the option of setting four different programs a day! but after it's set, it's very easy to just let it go and you only need to hit one or two buttons to override without changing your saved settings. It also doesn't reset your features if the batteries go dead, which is good to know.

Honest reviews on Hunter 44550 Auto Save 7-Day Programmable Thermostat

I purchased the model 44459 4 years ago, which essentially is the same unit. My basis for the selection was the indiglo feature. This is one that most of the other similar priced units did not have.

To my suprise, I found the energy and filter monitoring features to be most usefull. The energy monitor allowed me to track my usage in both summer and winter, and to see how much the other upgrades to the house made a difference in energy savings. The front access to the battery is also usefull, although I changed the battery this year for the first time in 4 years.

Well, this morning, I found that my heat would not turn off, and the thermostat was stuck in the on position. I performed all normal troubleshooting procedures to no avail. I spoke directly with a Hunter Tech Support agent, who agreed with me, the unit went bad. She put me on hold for about 10 minutes, and when she returned, she informed me that my unit was no longer under warranty (which I knew, just wanted to get repaired). To my supprise, she offered a one-time courtesy replacement of the unit, NO CHARGE! All they ask is that I pay for return postage of the bad unit. She even offered to expedite the order, so that I would not be without heat for very long!

Now, I am not saying that they will extend this to everybody, but I was highly impressed with the way they stand behind their product. When I looked at the specs between my unit, and this one, which they are sending to me, they are exact! Even the owner's manual is the same!

I have been very pleased with the unit, and have grown to love the features. Home Today, Hold, and ease of programming features a plus. It even has a keypad lock function to keep the kids from messing with the temp settings.

Great value and features for the price. Highly reccomended!!!

I purchased this product following a recommendation from Consumer Reports and extensively reading consumer comments on Amazon. We are VERY pleased with the thermostat! My husband was a little bit anxious on whether he could replace the unit himself (decided to do it on a weekday so that back-up could be called if needed). He was surprised how easy it was to replace the unit.

We especially like the automatic change-over between heat and A/C. Since it's not uncommon in the fall to go from very chilly nights to very warm days, we were constantly shifting the thermostat back and forth. With this unit, you no longer have to do that. You simply set your heat temperature for wake-up, leave the house, return home, go to bed, and then do the same with your A/C temperature. The unit automatically engages the right unit at the right time -it's amazing!

Also, the unit is very easy to program and does NOT make any noises when it turns on and off. This is an excellent choice -you won't be disappointed!

UPDATE:

10/9/2013: Product Update 6 years later and thermostats are still working perfectly. Batteries need replacement about once a year so that the lovely little light works when we adjust the thermostat. Have not had a single issue with them. Still a 5-Star product !!!

Reviews of Bionaire Pure Indoor Living Low Profile Room Heater

Customer Ratings:

Bought this heater at Costco last weekend. It's a great design, nicely made, and the remote is a very nice feature. It's about 28" long, and made of good quality matte-finish black plastic, with a black metal grill (the casing stays cool, but the grill gets pretty hot). It's lightweight and easy to move around. The fan is so quiet you can't hear it at all, even at the highest heat setting. There is a red light on the front that is on whenever the heater is connected to power; the control panel on the top has a main power button, a five-level thermostat setting (65-70-75-80-85) with red indicator light for each choice, and a 3-setting automatic-off timer (4, 8 and 12 hours). There is a separate button to activate the 'Eco-Smart' feature, which supposedly cycles the heater somehow to make it more efficient (I have no idea how to tell if it is more economical or not, but it does put out less heat with this setting turned on.)

I bought this heater to use in the office corner of a larger room, so I don't need a blast furnace, but it's not the kind of heater you can put in a cold room and expect it to warm up immediately. Even on the 'Eco-Smart' setting, it does a fair job of heating the immediate area, but it doesn't broadcast the heat very far from the source on ANY of the settings. I'd recommend this heater for a small room (bathroom, den or small bedroom). I wouldn't consider using it in a larger area, such as a family room or living room, and I'd also avoid it in rooms with especially high ceilings, because with this heater, the warmed air tends to rise straight up rather than spread out horizontally.

All in all, not a bad heater, just not a very quick one.

Note added November 19: This original post included review of the remote control which came with my unit from Costco ($45) but another reviewer noted this Amazon unit does not come with a remote. I've revised my review, but I apologize if I misled earlier readers with my error.

I read the previous reviews and was hesitant to buy this but my wife decided to try it. Agree w the ?transformer noice which is very quiet though. Disagree that it's slow. We heat up our master bedroom which is 15x15 and takes very short time to make it comfortable. Typically all we need is to go from 69 deg to say 74 which takes no time and makes the room quite pleasant.

This heater was in use for only 1 month but then broke. It stopped making any heat although all buttons and lights work normally. Even though it has warranty I did not want to ship it back and pay shipping and wait weeks till they fix it. So I opened it up myself and fixed it. As it turned out the problem was a faulty over temperature protection switch. The switch is supposed to be normally closed providing current to the heat element but in my case it was always open so the element never gets hot. Took me a few hours to fix it but now it works again. In addition to over temperature protection this heater also has tip over protection which works without any trouble on my unit. It turns OFF immediately after you accidentally tip it over. Other reviewer is wrong about saying that the fan is quiet. This heater does not have any fan at all. Also, another reviewer mentioned how noisy it is because of transformer. There is no transformer inside. The buzz comes from the heat element. When it gets hot it vibrates slightly. The element is attached to the side walls by only two screws, one on each side. As I had to open it, I know how cheaply it is made inside.

Honest reviews on Bionaire Pure Indoor Living Low Profile Room Heater

I bought this at Costco for 45 bucks and did not expect a lot. It keeps my living room and open kitchen and dining area comfortable (about 700 square feet). Outside the temperature was 32 Fahrenheit. Our house is well insulated and I use insulated curtains (except for the kitchen window ) and It got the temperature up to 68 and for faster heating I turned my infrared heater on at the beginning for about 20 minutes, and the temperature increased to 72. Obviously gas is cheaper, but we are on propane, haven't received my electric bill yet, but I am very comfortable. All with all I like this heater. Its not a fast heater, so during the night I get up at 3:00 am to turn it on and it is ready by about 6:00 a.m.

Purchased this directly from the manufacturer. Thought it was a good deal, nice, quiet heater, no fan, has thermostat, and covers a good area. However, upon trying it on the first cold night (27 deg as a low that night), I had it on for about 20 minutes, then it blew the circuit. Contacted Bionaire and the representative said that it is rated 12 Amps and most homes are 15 Amps. She said I had to remove everything else from that circuit. How is that reasonable? I'd have to trace that outlet to all other outlets, remove everything connected, and dedicate this small heater to its own 15 Amp circuit? I said that is not reasonable and asked for a refund. She immediately denied and said the only way to get a refund was for me to pay shipping to send it back. At the low price I got this, the shipping would have exceeded the purchase price. So I opted not to bother. However, I will never purchase another Bionaire heater based on that low level and unsatisfactory customer service from the Bionaire company and representative.

Cheap Waterbed Heater-Hardside

Customer Ratings:

I have the Thermal Guardian Touch Temp Digital Waterbed Heater. The Product Details for this product don't tell you which model this is and there isn't a close-up for the heater control so you can see what the model is or how you will control the temperature. My heater works well, except for one thing. My house is old and has very little insulation, so it tends to be chilly in the winter. The Thermal Guardian heaters profess to keeping the temperature to within 1/8 of a degree of the set temperature. That's fine if your house isn't chilly, but when it is the heater warms to the set temperature and then turns off. The chilliness of the room cools the water enough for the heater to come back on and thus the heater continues to turn off and on several times per second indefinitely. The only way to stop it is to turn the heater off or change the desired temperature a couple degrees and once it reaches the new setting you have to change it again. I can't help but think, if you let it turn off and on all the time it will wear out and anyone who has a waterbed knows it's a pain to drain the bed and put in a new heater any more often than necessary. On days when the sun warms the house, this does not happen. I don't plan on changing heaters, just know this can be a problem.

I ordered this heater with the fastest shipping option there was (2-6 days). The next day my shipping confirmation email estimated that the soonest heater would come would be in 7 days. If you have a waterbed then you understand the need to get a heater quick so you aren't sleeping on a frozen mattress. After 3 weeks my package never came. I wrote a poor review and the seller very quickly sent me an email insulting me and demanding I take down my review. I told him I wouldn't take it down because it was all true. He then tried to rectify the situation by refunding me for the product and shipping and repeatedly offering to send me the heater regardless. I told him I appreciated that and eagerly awaited a warm bed. Over the next few days I got many emails saying I should take down my review because the situation was fixed. Really, it wasn't because I'd been sleeping on a cold mattress for nearly a month. I did take the review down thinking that everything would be fixed. I never did get that heater, and I know it's silly to complain about not getting something you didn't pay for, so instead I'll complain that I would have gone somewhere else to buy one had a known it wasn't coming. This is easily the worst shopping experience I've had on Amazon. This heater is readily available from other sellers on this site, I would recommend them.

Our old heater quit on us in the coldest part of the winter. Those of you who are waterbed owners know that a cold waterbed in the winter months is not a good thing. We were glad to find a merchant on Amazon with the product we needed. It shipped within a week and we were able to quickly and easily replace the old heater unit with this one. Then we were back to comfortable nights once again.

Honest reviews on Waterbed Heater-Hardside

I originally bought this heater to replace an old style on and off heater which failed after about 15 years.

This heater was much better at regulating the temperature than the old one. It keeps the bed the same temperature.

That is, until it failed. I bought it less than 8 months ago, and it can no longer heat the bed over 80 degrees.

Having the heater for your waterbed fail is a huge inconvenience. I'd rather have a heater which causes the bed to have wider temperature swings, but is reliable vs a heater with tighter temp control which needs to be replaced more often.
