I bought the Intermatic PF1103 Freeze Guard for the swimming pool to replace the original generic freeze guard. I installed it myself along with a new Intermatic T104R201 Timer. The new T104R201 replaced a T104R201 that was 20 years old. The systems have been up for about one month now and everything has been functioning properly.

The only issue I ran into with the PF1103 Freeze Guard was with the Technical Services people at Intermatic. The PF1103 system is a 120/240 volt system and my original swimming pool equipment installation is 240 volt so I did not have a 120 volt leg out to the equipment. I should have purchased the PF1102 Freeze Guard which is the 240 volt version. After several calls to Tech Services describing the situation, they could not tell me I needed the PF1102 and they tried to tell me that I could not use the PF1103 model unless I had the additional 120 volt wiring installed from the electrical panel out to pool equipment which would have been very costly. After some research on my own, I found that the only difference between the PF1103 and the PF1102 is one extra wire that connects to a wire from the T104R201 timer. This is pre-wired in the PF1102 and is not present. Once I properly connected the extra wire on the PF1103 to the timer, I basically had a PF1102 and this now matched the original systems.

Bottom line, the Intermatic equipment is first rate, and their technical services expertise is questionable.

I have a wonderful enclosed porch that is 3 seasons. My real estate agent told me about this product and how adding it would increase my home's square footage by 200 sq ft, because the room would be a 4 season room. Not only does the product produce heat, is reasonably priced, it increased the resale value of my home by $30,000. That is what I call a huge Wow!

I got one of these for my master bedroom last month and I'm so in love with it that I already placed an order of the 400W heater from the same manufacturer for two of my other bedrooms too.

I was a little apprehensive in the beginning as there weren't much reviews for this product, but I decided to take a chance. And I'm very happy with the result.

1) Installation Very easy and quick to install

2) Power Consumption Very low, so saves a lot on your electricity bill

3) Noise Absolutely quiet, no hot air blowing out of the vent anymore

4) Design The product is very sleek and looks great anywhere in the house

5) Price Worth every penny. I've browsed some other similar products and this has the best price online.

6) Child/Pet Friendly Totally! The outer surface is perfectly insulated, so no heat flows on or around it.

Bottom line: Great product! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes to save on their heating bills and who like a noise-free "COZY" sleeping environment.

Compact, quiet, clean heat. The oscillating feature is very nice. I would have rated it 5 stars but for one thing: it has a temp setting and supposedly a thermostat so the unit can be set from 65 to 85 degrees in 5 degree increments. It flat doesn't work. I can set it for 65 degrees and it will just keep putting out heat until the room is 80 degrees. Called Bionaire and they told me it's defective. They offered to replace it for free which is nice, but "not until September. Heater season is over. Call us back in September."

Lasko 5568 34-Inch Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Reviews

Lasko 5568 34-Inch Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I love Lasko heaters, my hubby had a 29" pedestal heater that lasted roughly 5 years before acting up, so once it decided to die on us I searched and found this one on Amazon.

We had looked in the store and actually bought a Delonghi because he didn't want to have to wait until we could get this one in the mail, but it sucked! It didn't show the current room temperature like the Lasko, only the set temperature so you couldn't tell what the actual room temperature was. It kept turning on and off as if it was trying to maintain that exact temperature instead of turning on 1 degree below the set temperature, then back off at 2 degrees above like this Lasko. And the plastic at the base was grinding and popping when I tried to use it in oscillation mode, which was really annoying.

So it went back and I ordered this one, and am I ever glad we did, I love it! It arrived slightly damaged, but that could have been a manufacturing error as the box was in perfect condition, one of the side panels was pushed in making it look funny, but I carefully fixed that problem even though it didn't affect it's operation any, just couldn't stand looking at it the way it looked. Now it looks and works perfect, we couldn't be happier! And I love the added feature they've started using, it turns on low every 10 minutes for about 10 seconds to circulate the air and recheck the air temperature, instead of relying on the stagnant air temperature which can give a false reading like the old Lasko pedestal heater we had. Don't get me wrong, I loved that one too, but this one is even better! I highly recommend this heater to anyone who's looking for a way to help save on electricity and just warm the room you're in.

I actaully have the model 5586 which looks exactly like this but the buttons are different. Bought for about the same price $65-67 at a harddware store.

It's great for a small (10ftx10ft) unheated room, but doesn't do much for a large converted attic room with no heating & almost no insulation (which is fine, the product clearly says it is intendend as SUPPLEMENTAL heat, not as your only source).

I like the remote control & that I can have it stationary blowing directly on me or moving to circulate the air. I also like that I can set it to click on when tempature drops below a certain temperature. I like that it shows me the temperature. Those features were (to me) worth spending a little more than the cheaper heaters. I've had it for 3 months and it has made a big difference for cold No. CA nights/early mornings (though our electric bill did go pretty high so I'm not sure we saved $ by running the gas/central heating less).

I find it quiet enough to sleep through, but my boyfriend claims that even on the low setting the noise of the air venting bothers him. But he's gotten used to it & can usually sleep through it now.

Other reviews of Lasko heaters had complained their cords got too hot. My cord gets warm, but not hot. I am not concerned by this.

In my opinion, the only flaw is that EVERY TIME you turn it on/off or adjust ANY setting (even to go up or down a few degrees), a fairly loud beep is emitted.

I called their customer service # and there is no way to turn this off.

This means I can not make any adjustment at night or even turn it on for a little while while my boyfriend is sleeping. This is a serious drawback to me, I'd give this product 5 stars if it wasn't for this.

The fan is not loud, but I wouldn't say it is quiet either. The annoying thing is that there is no option to leave the fan on continuously, so it cycles on and off with the heater. The problem with this is that you don't have a constant white noise to aid sleeping, but something that could make sleeping not so restful--or worse yet--wake you up. Also using the remote to change any settings creates a loud beep that your sleeping partner might not be so happy about.

I did notice that a smallish room heated up very fast. I'm guessing the large size helps with that.

The remote is sorta cheap, but does the job--with a lot of beeps.

I would say it is a good value at the price I paid: $49.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5568 34-Inch Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Last winter proved that it can get pretty cold in South Florida. I purchased this Lasko heater to supplement our central heating system. It worked like a dream, is light and very portable. It also came with a remote so one could make adjustments without getting up from a comfortable chair. I have told all my friends about how good this heater is.

Warms up a 30 degrees, 250 something square meter room in few minutes. Thermostat comes in handy. I love this. Also the front grilldoes not get hot. Unlike the smaller lasko model which burned my child's leg by accident. Great product. I hope it's durable enough like the smaller lasko heater.

Review of Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

This heater blew a fuse twice in my office, causing my coworkers' computers to shut down and lose unsaved information. The darn thing comes on for 2 seconds every 5 minutes so I'm constantly cold. I would recommend one where you can change the fan setting to go at all times on low without the thermostat stepping in and ruining a good warmth. Also, doesn't turn off unless you unplug it so I have to crawl under my desk everytime I leave the office. No fun. Want to return but it's too much of a hassle.

While this little heater creates heat it isnt what I wanted at all. First of all I realized that it has no safety features. If it tips over unto the rug, it just keeps going! A real fire hazard. Also also the front heat control knob says "off" you cant really turn it off without pulling the plug out of the wall, rather inconvenient. And as one of the reviewers mentioned its a real drain on a circuit, throwing the circuit breaker in the first day of use. Last year I bought a Pelonis for less and it was far better.

Best Deals on Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Wow, what a fine example of terrible engineering. The only control is a knob that ranges from OFF to SUPER. To set the thermostat, you turn the knob to the SUPER setting. When the room reaches a comfortable level, you slowly turn the thermostat down until the heater goes off. This is the point at which the thermostat setting equals the room temp. At this setting, the thermostat will automatically turn on and off to maintain the selected temp.

This design sets the stage for a frustrating user experience:

By design, you must turn the thermostat to the highest setting, then WAIT FOR THE ROOM TO HEAT UP before fiddling with the knob until the unit clicks off, at which point you end up turning it up a bit until it clicks on (if it does). Its like trying to adjust your home's thermostat in the dark...just show me where to set the dial for 68 degrees and let me get on with my day.

when the heater is working as designed, it turns on for 30-60 seconds, turns off for 10-90 seconds, then repeats the cycle relentlessly and unpredictably until you unplug it, let it cool, box it back up, and send it back.

I want a refund, reimbursement for lost productivity, and an ice cream sandwich.

Honest reviews on Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

This is a great heater for small to medium sized rooms. I've owned two of them for a number of years, and they work great. I just bought one as a gift, due to this cold winter we are having. I think the other reviews are not fair to this product, and what it was designed for. You cannot go wrong with this heater, and at such a great price.

Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Greetings to whom it may concern. I purchased two of these HZ-315 ceramic heaters on January 28, 2009. Both vibrated across a smooth hard floor surface, very unsafe behavior for an electrical heating appliance. It was too costly to ship back even though they said they'd waive the return fee at customer service. Heater #1 failed on March 20th, didn't even last 2 months. I would advise to steer clear of this model, it's not the quality product you'd expect from a company like Honeywell and doesn't appear to be built to last either. The company I bought it from was very professional and timely, I did not contact them for a replacement. I wouldn't have wanted it anyway.

I have also bought a smaller one for another room. I highly recommend this AC unit! It really is icy cold!! Memphis is hot and humid. It has already hit 100 several days in a row. This one unit is all we have right now for 4 rooms and our hallway. We are very comfortable, even will the sweltering heat outside. It blows very hard, and very cold. If you are looking for a powerful AC, this is the one.

I have two of these units in my 3200 square foot top floor loft (which always gets the hottest) with 15 foot high ceilings, and they are FANTASTIC! They start cooling almost immediately, even in the middle of a 95 degree heat wave. Very nice looking units as well, I like the fact that the remote control shows you the ambient room temperature even when the unit is not on. Very easy to install, I did it myself (I am a 120 pound woman) and only needed the hubby to help lift the unit to the window after I had put in the sleeve. The hardware provided is very secure, I have no fears whatsoever of the unit coming out of the window. Shop around though for the best price with shipping and tax (if any). Also do your research and make sure you have the proper outlet for this unit and your window can accommodate it.

We don't have a very big home and this air conditioner works well to cool down 2/3's of our home (the other 1/3 is shut off and has an air conditioner of its own). I highly recommend it if you have about 1000-1100 sq/ft to cool.

First we bought a 24,500 btu LG a/c from Amazon and it arrived with a broken fan and sounded like a 747 when the compressor kicked in. Amazon took it back and we order the Frigidaire model. This unit is AWESOME! It's quiet, and cools great. Our living room area is 1,600 sq. ft and has 17ft. ceilings. The sleep mode is great and the unit has been going 24/7. Although it is a window unit we installed it in our existing wall frame without any problems.

Discount Danby DCR34W 3.2-Cubic Foot Compact Refrigerator

Danby DCR34W 3.2-Cubic Foot Compact Refrigerator with Freezer, White
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this refrigerator for my son to take with him to college and it ended up being a terrific choice. We were limited to less than 4.5 cu. feet, so in going lower than that, I thought this would end up being pretty small. Unboxed however, it was larger than I expected and bigger than the picture would lead you to believe; I'm 5'7" and this comes nearly up to my hip.

I purchased the black, and the entire refrigerator outer surface is a matte, slightly textured sort of fingerprint-proof finish that wipes clean very easily.

This was surprisingly quiet; having checked out models in our local appliance stores and finding them all annoyingly loud, I didn't think I could do any worse picking one online. This was a very pleasant surprise. It was whisper quiet on startup and when it kicked in each time the cooling cycle started, it barely even registered. There was no vibration, even when things started getting stacked on top (a coffee maker and the usual cups and junk).

The shelf levels are pretty short, non-moveable and not practical for anything other than snack and leftover storage use, which is exactly what my son's dorm use happens to be. The refrigerator comes with a clear plastic tray with holes for keeping eggs from rolling around and a miniscule (useless) ice cube tray. The freezer compartment is very tiny and I can't even imagine what you could fit in there beyond a handful of Popsicles, although it got nice and cold even on the mid-cool setting.

Just one word of warning: my unit came undamaged, and I can't speak for all shippers' policies, but be aware that if your unit comes in its original manufacturer's box, check it out immediately. There is absolutely no packing inside the box besides a thin top and bottom piece of styrofoam. I took the top piece out to unbox it and to my horror, found there was nothing else, that the box was actually the size of the refrigerator.

Got the black fridge for my office and love it! I guess my complaints would be that at times it can be a tad loud and since I do not drink soda, the soda slot is lost real estate (the bars are not removable). Overall I like it a lot and am happy with the purchase.

We've had this compact or mini fridge for six months or so. It has turned out to be a very useful unit at a modest cost. We keep it next to our computers in our "office" area. We use it mostly for pop, fruit drinks, etc. Also, I store my camera film in the freezer compartment. It is truly self defrosting, quiet, holds a lot of beverages, and makes a fair auxiliary work table from time to time.

I sure recommend it.
