CONS: Light weighted cabinet (not stable); imitation wood (sticker); inaccurate temperature detection; displayed temperature is the temperature to reach, not the current temperature in the room; fan is very loud; no battery for the remote; advertises as a 6500 BTU when in fact it is a 5100 BTU unit.

PROS: Light weight (but easy to move); has auto turn on and off; has an economy mode setting (500 watts); master on/off switch; fan seems to blow pretty hard.

NEUTRAL: Heat blows toward the floor (maybe 35 degree angle)

..based on my experience attempting to return this item, BEWARE OF FAT BOY TOOLS a seller of this item. They attempted to close my claim for a return and sent me the following message: "Fat Boy Tools has closed your return request. The reason for the closure of your request is: Solved a technical issue" WTF.

I decided on this particular heater over others because it advertises the heater as 6500 BTUs and a five year warranty. When it arrived and I was looking at the box I noticed that it was only 5100 BTUs and has a 3 year year warranty. I thought they had sent me the wrong one but when I compared the model number it was the correct model number. I contacted the company that sent me the heater and they just said that that was the information the Lifesmart company provided them with. To me, that is false advertising!

For starters, I think this is the first time I've taken the time to write a review. I was just a little frustrated how poorly this product was ranked after I committed to buy two of them.

I actually bought this product from e-bay as they were running a big sale. However, I buy a ton from Amazon and always compare prices to theirs and often look at some of the reviews. As with any other item, there are almost always a lot of likes and dislikes. This product had plenty of one star reviews which kind of scared me. Then, I looked at the intelligence level of the reviewers. The fan was "noiser" as opposed to "noisier". One star because the remote didn't have batteries, really??? It wasn't made out of wood, it was plastic on wood. Not true with mine, it's not oak or anything, but it is at least veneer. It only raised the room "2 degree" my old one raised it "8 degree". Firstly, more than one means "degrees". There were some other reviewers that had experience with more expensive units that said this performed "comparably" for the price. I went with the more educated people and bought two of these units. I've only been using them for two days and I'm actually pretty impressed. I use these for localized heating because I run a pellet stove in a 2,850 square foot house. The heat simply can't make it to all areas. I was using some smaller electric faux stoves that worked fairly well. However, not all of them I had have built in thermostats. These units do and they seem to work pretty well. I had one in my bedroom (big bedroom and master bath) and set it at 65 degrees last night. This morning, my atomic clock was reading 63.9 degrees. Close enough considering I have the blower pointing away from the clock. I'm sure it would have been higher if I pointed the heater towards the clock/thermometer. This was on the low (500W) setting. I have not even used the 1,000W setting yet. This product is advertised to help supplement your existing heat and to be efficient at doing so. I don't pay that much attention to my electric bill, but it's 1,500W which seems to be the max for all of these small stand alone units (for the most part). I have oil heat which I have not used for two years since installing a large pellet stove, thanks to my free Obama money at the end of 2011. But, as mentioned before, the heat can't permeate through my entire house well. I use some ceiling fans to move the air around but that's not enough to get the upstairs warm. Yes, I understand, heat rises, but apparently, not as much as I would like. So, in a nutshell, this seems to work great to heat a room locally. It also has an auto on/auto off timer. I have not used that either, but figure the auto on will work nice to come on a couple of hours before you get home. It's not like an alarm clock. You have to tell it to come on in a certain amount of hours. Other complaints included that the display shows the setpoint, not the actual temperature. OK, some people will want it one way, some the other. It seems to hold the setpoint fairly well, so I'm OK with that. Another heater I have displays the actual temperature of the heater, so it is consistently hotter than what the actual room temperature is. Lastly, some people complain it's too loud. The filter on my fishtank, which is called a Whisper filter, is louder, so the volume does not bother me. Seems fine. I guess that's enough said, I think it's a pretty good product. While it may not completely heat your trailer, it's pretty good for keeping some larger rooms that need a boost nice and cozy. I'd recommend to a friend.

Pros:

Attractive package that you can easily put a picture or plant on top of

Fully assembled upon arrival, including the wheels (which are stable as opposed to one review)

On/Off Timer

Remote (except for the added $1.00 you'll have to pay for two AA batteries)

F/C temperature display

Directional heat as you can point it where you want the heat to go

Cons:

People seem to have had problems with the vendor they purchased it from when they were dissatisfied

Doesn't have the fake logs and flames that the faux heaters have that most people actually enjoy

Won't walk my dog or make me coffee in the morning (just had to come up with a complaint like the other one star reviews)

Sorry if I insulted anyone's intelligence, but some of those reviews really are comical.

Happy New Year

I bought this product for 179.00 on Amazon, through FAT BOYS TOOLS. It works about the same as my hair dryer on warm.

It ran quite for about three hours and now makes enough noise to be bothersome.

Honestly, I have a 30.00 radiant heater that works ten times better.

In retuning this item I have to pay a 12% restocking fee, that is 31.60 to me, and a 11.40 pre paid shipping fee. The grand total for 43.00. I have learned my lesson, do not buy from Fat Boys Tools. I tried to work something out with them, I wanted a replacement heater, but they don't sell any other heaters that work better then this one. In fact the young lady in customer service told me that this heater only heats as a secondary heater and brings the room four degrees higher then the primary heat source has heated it. Sounds to me that 1800 square feet "line" is just an eye catching bate, It is advertised to "1800 Square Foot Infrared Quartz Heater...." Sounds to me like it might heat that 1800 square ft. space. My place is no more then 600 sq. feet all one room, No it is not warm!!!

Generac 5635 Cold Weather Kit for 10 kW to 20 kW Air-Cooled Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $299.00
Sale Price: $250.41
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

After Hurricane Irene I had professionally installed a Generac Guardian 20KW generator, which I have reviewed on Amazon.

Generac sells two accessories for conditions where the generator is exposed to below freezing temperatures for a prolonged period: (1) a battery warmer, which is called the cold weather kit, and (2) an engine block heater, which is called the extreme cold weather kit. Just as your car won't start if you have a dead battery or frozen engine block, neither will this generator.

Note: You can install the battery warmer without also installing the engine block heater, but not vice versa.

I had both installed by the same contractor who installed the generator.

I am glad that I installed this product because this winter the temperatures in my area have been abnormally cold (single digits for a week). I got an alarm on my remote monitor (another useful accessory, which I have reviewed on Amazon) to inspect the battery. Fortunately it was okay; the bitter cold had triggered the alarm just to have someone check the battery. My contractor had to reset something on the generator, and then the alarm stopped flashing.

I have no doubt that without this item I could have wound up with a dead battery in my generator.

Bottom line: If you live in an area where the winters are cold, you should really get the battery warmer and engine block heater. With installation my cost for both was $425.

First of all, ignore the one star review. If you can't take time to research what you intend to buy, then you deserve to be dissapointed.

I installed this heater along with a basic honeywell thermostat in my bedroom. I live in an old home, so heating is a pain. Being only 1000 watts, it doesn't heat super fast, but I can definitively say that it can get and maintain a much more comfortable room temp than the fan forced heater it replaced. Being that it is mounted onto the wall, it is completely out of the way.

The unit seems well made and so far I haven't had any issues with it. Even when the thermostat turns it on full heat, it is silent And makes no creaking sounds. The quiet even heat is absolute bliss when I lay down to rest for the night. I had gotten use to fan heaters so much that now it is almost eerie how quiet the room is.

With my experience having this heater, im going to be buying more of their heaters.

Honest reviews on Cadet Manufacturing 05534 120-Volt White Baseboard Hardwire

This 'Cadet' stuff is a misrepresented farce. It should be in a building supply online store and not in home products. People are looking here in 'amazon' for a unit with a thermostat that they can plug into a wall socket and get heat not for a partially assembled non-functioning unit that will need a thermostat and special tools and skill to hopefully work. It doesn't plug into a wall socket, you need to connect 'supply wires' to it! just look at what is required to get a 'Cadet' baseboard heater to work at . In the video it states that if you are not able to assemble this yourself, you should get a licensed electrician to do it. Oh yes, at $50/hr! the electrician would wind up costing more than the unit! I am used to buying something that states what you are getting, this unit description states what you are NOT getting with an ambiguous 'no' that could be mistaken for 'number'. This company apparently floods an online store with partially assembled non-functioning items that can be listed at a lower price and overshadow the few really good working items. I sent the 'heater' and 'thermostat' back for a refund and bought a somewhat higher priced functioning unit that came with a thermostat and wall socket power cord and gave me good heat right away.

The Good:

The materials are excellent quality. The device has space for six vials of insulin which is plenty. It is March and I haven't used the device in hot weather, but the insulin has been kept cool. The operative word is cool not cold. Ambient temperatures are in high 60's and insulin is at mid-50's temperature. I wonder whether it will work in hot weather.

The power supply will work worldwide, and there is an adapter that runs in an automotive cigar lighter socket.

The Bad:

The device is noisy. I can't sleep with it in the room. It is really noisy. And it never shuts off. It runs 24 hours a day no matter what the external temperature. The device is rated at 15 Watts. This is a lot of power for so little cooling.

The Ugly:

The plastic and construction is good quality, but it looks like an expensive coffin. Somebody has a sense of (sick) humor and flaunts that diabetics will die early. The designers of this device don't want their customers to forget it.

I ordered the part I needed it and it worked like it is supposed to.

It's more expensive at the appliance store.

Refrigerator stopped working one night. Google resulted in a gamble on replacing the thermostat and or defrost cycle mechanism. I decided to spend the $xx.xx on this thermostat. Result: refrigerator is back in working condition. Saved me $xxx.xx on a repairman and $xxxx.xx on a new refrigerator.

Shipping was relatively quick and packaging was okay. Only major concern I had was the metal wire (probe). When it arrived, it was coiled. I had to uncoil it and shape it to the slot in the fridge. I was concerned I would snap it but it held up.

If this part works on your refrigerator and you suspect it's the thermostat, I definitely recommend buying this product. Amazon's return policy is a plus as well.

About this item: The part received matched the original perfectly. No delivery problems. Functions just as it should, as far as I can tell. Packaging was a little casual, luckily it is not a fragile item.

To other handy-persons wondering if they should replace their fridge's thermostat: We have an older fridge that was cycling on and off erratically. Symptoms could be temporarily relieved by tapping directly on the thermostat housing. Seemed likely that the thermostat was problematic. On replacing the thermostat the erratic cycling was cured but I was surprised to find that other odd behaviors such as compressor-motor noise and excessively long running times have also been cured. Who knew thermostats affected all that (not me!).

Honest reviews on Whirlpool 2204605 Thermostat for Refrigerator

Thought this was the bad part because the fridge would just shut down, unless you knocked it right where this is located. After having it happen one night and ruining a lot of food I looked up the part on an appliance parts web site. I decided to plug the part # into Amazon and see what happened. There it was for less and FREE shipping. I ordered it and it arrived on time, packed safely cushioned in its box.Unplug the fridge and remove the shroud housing the old one it making sure to keep track of the screw. Make note of the position of everything then replace exactly with the new one. I Put everything back and two months later not one shut down, everything works great. Very happy with part, order process and price.
