Reviews of TEC1-12706 Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler 12 Volt 92 Watt

Customer Ratings:

This replacement arrived with no damage to the ceramic exterior of the device. The edges along the square perimeter were properly sealed to prevent moisture from shortening the life of the device. Since the 12vdc device had no markings on either side as to which side is the cold or hot side, I had to hook the peltier device up to a 5vdc power supply. The red lead was connected to +5vdc and the black lead was connected to common / ground. Power was applied for only 3 seconds and quickly shut off. That short time was enough to sense with my fingers which side is the cool side and which side was the hot and side and without damaging the device from heat. Do not run this device with a power supply more than a few seconds without a heatsink mounted to the device! You will destroy the device, if you do.

After having found the cool side, I marked it with a sharpie. The defective moisture damaged device in the B&D refrigerator was removed and all of the old heatsink compound was scrapped off of the heatsinks. The new peltier device was mounted with the cool side towards its cool side heatsink and the same was done for the hot side (larger) heatsink using a modest amount of Arctic 5 Silver heatsink compound. The leads were connected up by color to the power supply, red to positive (+) and black to negative (i.e. common, "-" or ground) using butt splices. The B&D refrigerator was plugged in and allowed to run with the thermostat set to the coldest setting. The first couple of days, the temperature was 47 degrees. However, after the break in period of the Arctic 5 Silver compound, the refrigerator runs at 42 degrees at a control setting just above the lowest cooling setting (i.e. at nearly the warmest setting or the lowest power usage setting). Efficiency, and the temperatures, would be improved, if I had replaced the other device, which will soon be done.

Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

Cheap Hansgrohe 04231000 S Thermostatic Trim With Volume Control

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $475.00
Sale Price: $246.23

Useful stuff first: You will also need to buy a Hansgrohe iBox

Make sure you (or your installer) read the installation guide thoroughly before installing. My installer didn't and I had to go back and "fix" it, I'll explain later.

This shower control is very well made... most things are heavy gauge metal but operates smoothly. I agree that cheaping out on the cover plate with plastic is poor form. Mine has a small scratch already within 1 week. But the look of this is just plain awesome, very modern and shiny chrome baby!

Why spend extra money for thermostatic? Well, you or your kids won't get burned, that's why... I bought this for our kids' bath and love it.

The top dial goes left (10 o'clock position) or right (2 o'clock position) for tub / shower. Mine is left for tub and right for shower. But I think you can change it depending on the way your iBox connects to shower / tub. The bottom dial controls the temperature. Counterclock-wise for cold water, clock-wise for hot water. There is a small button on the left side of dial where you can push and turn the dial to hotter temperature beyond "thermostatic" setting.

My problem: My installer didn't pay attention to the temperature setting... Even at the hottest setting, we were only getting warm water at best. I opened up the bottom dial and adjusted it according to installation manual and then it worked like a charm. To adjust it, read the installation instructions or follow my less technical directions below:

1. Turn the bottom dial so that the hand points down at 6 o'clock position.

2. On the right side of the dial, there's a small access hole for an allen wrench. Turn the allen wrench counterclock-wise to loosen the dial. If your installer put a little rubber stopper in there, just push it in all the way and you can retrieve it later when the dial is off.

3. Once opened, there's a gold knob looking dial (it's the thing that sticks out). Find it.

4. Turn the top dial to tub or shower so you get water.

5. Turn the gold knob clock-wise or counterclock-wise to adjust the water temperature. The instruction says 100 degrees, I believe. I just turned it to the maximum temperature that I think my kids should shower at.

6. Turn the top dial to 12 o'clock to shut off the water.

7. Put back the bottom dial (pointing at 6 o'clock) via allen wrench.

8. Test it to make sure that it works.

The 6 o'clock position should be the hottest that you want the water to be... then push the little button the left and turn the bottom dial to 4 o'clock position, this should make the water even hotter... My wife showers at the 4 o'clock position but I think normal people will probably burn at this temperature, so I sent it at 6 o'clock for my kids.

Overall, I think this is a great product... well made with German engineering... but if they had included a metal coverplate (or will ship me one for free), I'll change it to 5 stars.

Escutcheon (chrome cover plate) is made of PLASTIC!!! Yes, I said PLASTIC! For the hefty price tag, it should be made of real chrome-plated metal. Shame on Hansgrohe. I was under the impression they made top-notch stuff. For whatever reason they decided to skimp on this item.

along with the iBox this thing seems to work great. The only problem i had was the need to have a friction ring shipped to me that is installed on the temperature control stem, along with the chrome base to the temp handle. What happens is the weight of the temp handle can be so great that it wants to return to the vertical position, so if you want a bit of cold the handle will slowly sayno you want hot, friction ring solved this 100%, customer service was extremely helpful solving this problem. 10/10 would buy again

Honest reviews on Hansgrohe 04231000 S Thermostatic Trim With Volume Control

Goes very will with all of our other Hansgrohe products. Love the fact that you can set the bottom dial to the temperature and then the small dial at the top turns on the shower, so once you have the temperature you like you don't have to mess with it you can just turn it on and the water is perfect

Best Thermometer Min / Max with Magnet | Sper Scientific | 736680 Deals

Customer Ratings:

The Sper Scientific thermometer is a 'recording minimum maximum' device in that the highest and lowest temperatures experienced by the unit are set by little 'floats' inside the glass tube. As the temperature rises, the mercury climbs (in the right leg of the U-shaped tube) and the float is pushed higher. The float remains in the highest position as the temperature, and the mercury, fall. The mercury retreats to and rises in the left leg to indicate the lowest temperature... and the float in that left leg will be remain at that lowest temperature reading.

The included magnet, attached by a cord to the thermometer, is used to reset the floats--hopefully after the user has marked down the readings.

This is solid instrument and I recommend it for back-yard weather enthusiasts.

This is a clever device that uses two thermometers to record the high and low temperatures in a space like a greenhouse, or a garage, or a hen house. Little floats inside the columns are reset with a magnet on a string. I like it especially because it is such an elegant low-tech time-tested solution. It looks terrific and if you think you need one, get two, because you will want another one for sure.

I chose this "old school" version over the many digital varieties because there's not much that can go wrong with it. The housing is fairly study plastic, so unless you hit it with a hammer, it's likely to last a long time. It's simple, easy to read, and it helped me get my plants in the ground earlier than if I had just listened to the weather reports, since it gave me a reading at the level of my raised bed garden soil. Since I'm planning on setting up a hoop house, this will be a great tool, not only for monitoring overnight frost, but also for peak temperatures in the summer when extra shade and ventilation will be required.

Best Honeywell Yth6320r1114 Wireless Focus PRO Wifi Thermostat Kit Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product to solve a tough problem in an old house. The thermostat that controlled the upstairs heat was located on the first floor. I did not want to pay to have wires run upstairs etc etc. so this seemed a good solution. I read about the complications of installing and the need for the "C" or "Common Wire" which my existing thermostat did not have. When I got the unit, I realized that is just a 24 volt circuit to power the send and receive unit. The furnace control circuitry runs on 24 volt and I was able to easily locate where to connect the unit's C wire. It took 10 minutes to figure out. (You want to put the send/receive unit down by the furnace. It's too big on the wall.) Product works beautifully.The thermostat itself and it's program-ability are fantastic. All the internet control stuff is a plus. I highly recommend this product.

Downloaded the APP on my iPhone, iPad, etc and it couldn't be easier or more convenient to use! I keep the house set at a constant temp and adjust up just before I leave my home to drive up there. What a great product!

Honest reviews on Honeywell Yth6320r1114 Wireless Focus PRO Wifi Thermostat Kit

For the situation I was in (house construction making it really difficult to replace an existing 2 wire thermostat control with a 4 wire), this setup does what you'd expect: you can simply wire their Electronic Furnace Interface up at the furnace, and then wirelessly link the main thermostat to it remotely. Simple to install, and it works.

Add in the included Redlink gateway, and you can control the thermostat remotely via the web or a mobile device.

That said, I found a few limitations that are worth pointing out:

1. Some of the product literature for the YTH6320 implies that the thermostat may enable a circulation mode in which the fan is run periodically. This functionality isn't included in the YTH6320.

2. While you can control the fan (on/auto) with the main thermostat, the Redlink interface doesn't allow this.

This setup got me 90% of the functionality I want (I do much of my heating with a wood stove, so it's useful being able to circulate air with the fan when not running the heat), but it would be nice if it did the other 10%.

I've just finished the install, but here's a few observations: 1) "Interface module (dp)" -My instruction book & a you tube video indicated the green light would immediately start blinking when I push the "connect" button. I was VERY sad for about 5 minutes :( Then it started blinking and all is well :) 2)"System Test" via the thermostat -I could only "check the system status" by pushing the >up< arrow for each "system test", not either, as written. I must write later to give a true "star" rating

What I don't like so far--in my opinion: 1) Apparently I >must< access my thermostat (over the Internet) only thru Honeywell computers and, I cannot have a copy of the software to access my thermostat via a local (lan) computer. 2) Apparently, when I created my required online account, I >had to< agree that Honeywell has the right to charge me for this service in the future.

Deni 9301 Mini 840-Watt 1-1/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Deep Fryer Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The Deni 9301 Mini fryer sorta works but not really.

On the plus side, the product is nicely styled, compact, has an adjustable thermostat, heating indicator light, fry basket, lid that can be placed on the oil tank while the fryer is still hot, and after a fasion it does function as a deep fryer for one or two people.

On the minus side, the thermostat only goes to 375 degrees which is not hot enough for crisp frying. The fryer is very lightly built so there is not enough mass in the oil tank to hold the heat when you emerse food in the oil. If you emerse a half basket of frozen french fries at an oil temperature of 375 degrees, the oil temperature will quickly drop to around 250 degrees and not recover much beyond 300 degrees before the fries are done. This results in soggy french fries. The fryer is slow to recover oil temperature between frying batches which makes cooking a second batch of something a protracted event. The handle on the fry basket has to be removed for storage rather than just folded. The oil will not pour out of the fryer without dripping because of the design of the oil tank lip.

Overall I would rate the Deni 9301 as a step in the right direction but it is in need of significant redesign to make it an effective product for its intended use. I wish I still had my 26 year old Oster mini fryer that finally gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service. The Oster was a far better product than the Deni 9301. Given how lightly the Deni 9301 mini fryer is built, I seriouly doubt it will be around very long. In good faith, I cannot recommend this product to anyone. The Deni 9301 is an improvement over nothing but it does not perform its intended mission very well.

I knew that this was a 1.25 quart deep fryer when I purchased it, but I was still very shocked and surprised at how TINY it was when I removed it from the box. Once I got over my initial shock, I was pleased at the compactness of the unit and how very little room it took up in my small kitchen.

The box states this is a snack size deep fryer and they weren't lying. It's the perfect size for one person. The unit itself is a nice compact size and shape and holds a substantial amount of oil but the fry basket is itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny. You can fit about a cup of frozen french fries or one breaded, boneless chicken breast in the basket comfortably. Anything more than that and you will have issues with even browning and cooking and you will still have to flip the food to achieve it. This happened to me when I tried to fry two medium size chicken breasts cut into four pieces all at once. You will have to fry large batches of food in smaller batches and keep it warm in the oven or upgrade to a larger fryer.

Outside of that, the unit heats up quickly and frys nicely. Crisp and golden brown on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. I was not disappointed with the results at all. Clean up is also fairly simple: wait for the oil to cool and remove from the unit; fill the unit halfway with warm, soapy water; cleanse thoroughly with a sponge; rinse and dry. Of course you never want to immerse the unit in water. The only disappointment I found was not being able to store the oil in the unit with an air tight seal like the Fry-Daddys from the 80s.

Overall, a really nice but very small fryer that performs well and gives excellent results. If you're thinking of buying one and plan on frying large batches of food I would suggest purchasing a larger unit. But if you're single or live by yourself and plan on frying small batches of food for yourself then it's perfect.

Perfect size, just what we were looking for to make snacks quickly. Love that the basket comes out, love the steel, love the fact it has a thermostat. Doesn't make a mess. Absolutely hate the stupid magnetic plug. More than once I've dropped a basket of food only to realize the plug had come loose (I think the lightest breeze loosens it) and I was soaking the food in cool or lukewarm oil. So you gotta pay attention to that. Unfortunately it just stopped working after less than a month. Now that I read the reviews, I see we're not the only ones that happened to. Willing to give it another try, sent for a replacement. If that one dies too we'll be looking at a different manufacturer.

UPDATE: DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE. The replacement stopped working as well, only this time JUST after the window to return it expired. But if you want a greasy $44 doorstop, by all means send your money in.

I previously purchased a $60 twin sized electric blanket that only felt warm when another blanket was on top, this blanket gets warm without any added weight (so warm my chihuahua has to move after a while). I came back to buy another one as a Christmas gift and was surprised at the price jump. Did a little researching and then drove to my local Walmart and bought one for $19.99.

WOW! Perfect sized and it is warm! I don't need it higher than the LOW setting. I was surprised that there is a 3 hour auto timer shut off instead of 10 hours for a blanket but I guess that is the nature of a throw vs. blanket. Doesn't deter from the usefulness of this.

The installation took about 30 minutes. I did the installation myself and should be within the ability of of DIY types who have experience with electric circuts, It's not rocket science but if you need a profession installer, it is a very short bit of work so it could easily be added onto some other routine service call.

The wireless transmission on this unit works flawlessly in old construction metal lathe walls at a distance of 60 feet. In fact, I can take the remote unit nearly 800 feet from the house and it still stays in contact.

Honest reviews on Honeywell YTH6320R1015 - Wireless Thermostat System

After much research as to how best to deal with vast temperature variations in our one zone, multi-story condo, I found this thermostat. As stated, the thermostat includes a wireless base (which can be attached to a wall or not) and remote. The base is programmable and senses the temperature wherever the base is. The remote can be moved anywhere in the house to sense temperature in other locations (e.g. bedrooms, offices) and then can be easily set to over-ride the base and control the temperature at that remote location. This works great at night if your bedroom is far away from the base.

Because I found it hard to get product information, I called Honeywell, which has fantastic customer service. If you opt to have the thermostat installed for you, I would highly recommend using contractors recommended by Honeywell as the first several contractors I tried were suspicious of these "new-fangled" thermostats and couldn't explain how they worked.

What a great quality of life improvement! I'm already sleeping better at night!

Bought it and got it hooked up it hooks up just like any other thermostat, but the base unit goes by the furnace, not in the living space.

We put the remote in our new baby's room, and it keeps the room a perfect even temperature at night. She started sleeping much better the very night I got it working. So new parents highly recommended.

Honestly, the "outdoor" unit and the normal thermostat are still sitting on the coffee table in our living room since I can't decide where to put either one.

Only negative I think it's cycling the air on and off more often than the old thermostat did.

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

Update 2/24/13: The portable unit's touch screen stopped responding to touch in January. The seller I bought it from was non-responsive to my inquiries, and Honeywell informed me that the date code meant that it was made in the 42nd week of 2008!

(The date code is really simple just YYWW year/week of year. Or maybe the other way around, WWYY. I don't remember now.)

Fortunately they give a five-year warranty on this line and after mailing the broken one to Honeywell, a new one showed up on my front porch about a month later.

So if you're buying from anyone except Amazon themselves, you may want to inquire about date code, because the warranty may give you difficulties if you have problems. I still like the actual item, though. Just not the fact that I bought 4-year-old stock.

This is the infamous Whirlpool/Kitchenaid thermal fuse that blows when you run the cleaning cycle on the Kitchenaid KGSA906PSS range. You know, the problem everyone has, but Kitchenaid denies even happens; the reason I'll not buy Kitchenaid appliances again. All because of this fuse. Or rather, the poor implementation of the fuse into the design.

Anyway, when it blows about an hour into the cleaning cycle because by design the oven gets so hot it blows the fuse (good job, Kitchenaid!), the door will remain locked closed and the timer display will go black. No clock, no controls. The burners will still light. That means power is getting to the stove, but the oven will be dead.

So if you need the oven, you are out of luck. DO NOT CLEAN THIS OVEN if you need it within a week.

You will have to turn off the gas, unplug the power and disconnect the supply pipe from the range (I do that by removing the storage drawer and reaching underneath to disconnect from the range) then pull the range out enough so you can get behind it. There's a 24"x24" panel on the back held on with about 15 black square drive screws and an upper panel that is held on by a few Phillips drive screws. After removing the panels, you can see the fuse, attached to the back of the oven box, waiting for you to run the cleaning cycle so it can blow and cost you $40.

After I got the replacement part reinstalled and put all the screws back in, plugged it in and reconnected the gas, everything worked as before.

So I went out to the garage and took the blown fuse apart. It's a shame you cannot reset the fuse. There's no real reason you can't except they didn't design a little reset button into the fuse.

The fuse "blows" when a little bimetal disc inside the fuse heats up and pops like a bottle cap, which allows a little plastic piston to move. This in turn allows two electrical contacts to separate. This turns off the power to the display, leaves the door locked and shuts off the gas to the stove. The oven then cools down, but the fuse stays in the "off" mode.

After replacing the part and getting the oven to work, I broke the Bakelite open on the old fuse to see the innards. All I really needed to do was drill a tiny hole through the metal outer cap (but not through the bimetal) then poke a toothpick into the hole and pop the bimetal disc back into its original shape. It's not worth the trouble, but in a real pinch, it might work. The other way is to jumper over the two contacts, but of course, that's not recommended. We've had this range since 2005, though, and the fuse never blew before...because we never ran the cleaning cycle. So the fuse is there only in case you run the cleaning cycle. Apparently the oven box gets so hot during the normal cleaning cycle by design it can't stand it.

Both my wife and I live-chatted with Kitchen reps. They asked if an electrical fuse had popped at the box and other lame excuses, all while denying there was any reported problem. But a quick net search shows many people have had this problem. It's big enough that Amazon carries this one part and "8300802" returns a lot of hits.

I'm glad Amazon had the part. It got here in a hurry and it was the right part. Kitchenaid needs to stick with stand mixers and get out of the appliance biz.

A repairman wanted over $300 to fix my stove when all I needed was this part. Took me a minute to figure out where is was on my stove but installing it was a breeze!

Easy to install/replace, even with my 9 yr old helping me out. Just remember on the models this fits Self Clean is actually Self Destruct.
