I have been looking in getting a small fryer, the size is perfect for me, but the basket inside is way too small for the size of the fryer, the oil is never hot enough, just warm, so your food absorb the oil. I am very disappointed, I don't want it, just complicated to send it back and get something else.

I purchased this product as an upgrade from the 70,000 BTU unit and has worked great for what i use it for. Thermostat regulates the temperature well. One thing I did want to point out is the fuel tank, which holds 13 gallons. I purchased 5 gallons of K1 Kerosene from a local store which cost me $38.00 and only brought the tank up to just over a third full. Heater burned through the the 5 gallons between 4-5 hours of use so something to think about. I'll probably consider burning diesel as an alternative. Overall a great heater but note the fuel consumption and the large space you will need to use this.

I purchased this brand new, assembled it, and fired it up in twenty minutes. I've owned torpedo heaters without the thermostat but since this model has one, it can turn on and off to maintain the desired ambient temperature. On about the fifth start up, I heard the ignition kick on but also heard the sound of a dying motor. The fan motor had seized. I tried troubleshooting it through the manual but this kind of problem wasn't listed. So, I took this matter into my own hands. I opened the top shell and tried to spin the fan. It was very resistant but after a few turns it eventually spun free. I fired it back up and it worked for a little bit and then repeated the incident. I dug deeper: removing the air filter and air filter housing. After removing the housing, the fan would spin free again. Turns out the rotor which pumps the air is slightly too wide for the housing. If you seen the rotors, they're made of graphite (just like the graphite used in mechanical pencils but instead of a small stick it's a huge disc with four small wedges emplaced in groves). As the rotor spins the wedges slide in groves displacing the volume but at the same time are wearing down. As the rotor wears down, the graphite shavings can either get pumped into the filter or build up between the rotor and housing. The buildup caused the jamming of the fan motor. My solution was to sand the rotor faces with 800 grit so it would have enough room to allow shavings to make their way out somewhere else.

So far this fix has kept the heater going but I'm wary as to the longevity of this unit. I've already researched online and there are some heater supply stores which sell replacement rotors for around $35. Surely there is a more efficient design to pump air into the tank. All is needed is a constant 5-10 PSI while the heater runs. Essentially, if one were to design a small supercharger, that could compensate the graphite rotor and prolong the heater life without troubling the fuel supply.

I love this mattress pad!

My husband and I have an adjustable split king bed he has ALS, and needs the adjustments to assist with transferring in and out of bed and helping to make breathing easier... He is alway hot, and I am always cold. It is difficult to find things that fit our bed we need twin XL fitted sheets, and Cal. king blankets.. This twin XL mattress pad is perfect! I have it on my half of the bed husband doesn't need the heat at all. I set it on high about 5 minutes before getting into bed, then turn it all the way down to low or level 2 for a warm and toasty night. It has transformed my night experience!

It heats up quickly and stays very warm for 10 hours. I enjoy getting into a warm bed and helps calm me down after a long day.

If you have a twin XL-sized bed and want warmth, this is the pad to have. It fits a Twin XL bed perfectly and would fit a VERY deep mattress, if need be. The one thing I do not like is that the skirt around the sides is a pretty flimsy material, but since I plan on using another mattress pad over this one, to pad the wires more and keep it clean, I won't be removing/washing it too often, as I would the regular mattress pad. I pre-heat the bed on high, for a few minutes and then lower the temp to low(1) or 2, which I find to be perfectly warm all night long. You can feel the wires some through the pad, but I solved this problem by placing my regular mattress pad over this one. The included controller looks nothing like the one in the picture. So far, no durability issues. I will update, if I have any.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Twin XL Heated Mattress Pad

This mattress pad is great! We replaced another older heated mattress pad and this new one gets warm pretty fast within 5-10 minutes and can get almost too hot if it's left on High. It's so nice to get into a warm, toasty bed. This Sunbeam pad is highly recommended compared to other brands.

Despite the warnings and cautions printed in the directions, I use this little heater in a very cold, corner bathroom that often falls into the 50's on really cold days. Yes, on the highest setting, this little heater is an energy eater, but when in a really cold bathroom I don't care.

My bathroom is large and adjoins a closet so it takes some oomph to warm the room. This little heater does the trick, though when taking a shower or shaving in there, I need to turn the heater on at least 15 minutes early.

The fan on this heater is a little noisy, but not obtrusively so. Once the room warms up, I turn the heater down to the lower setting to save a little energy with no noticeable discomfort to me.

The filter on the back of the heater gets dirty quickly and needs to be vacuumed or washed. Since the back plate is screwed on, I'd often neglect this chore rather than have to fetch a screwdriver. I finally just removed the little screw and left it off. Now the filter is more easily accessible and more often cleaned.

My main reasons for buying this heater were its reduced price at the end of the season and its small size. Perfect for a bathroom. One must take great care when using this appliance in a bathroom. Also be aware that the front screen gets rather hot and can burn.

Honest reviews on Pelonis Ceramic Heater/fan 2 Heat Settings 1000/1500w

I've had this heater for over a year (purchased in October 2009).

I've used it a fair bit, but not a whole lot.

I've used it for heating small rooms (about 20 square meters; i.e. 200 square feet).

It does that very successfully. I haven't tried larger spaces.

It has worked perfectly.

The heat is good.

The fan is smooth and not very loud.

The casing feels sturdy.

It's small, so easily portable.

It has two controls: a switch controlling the mode (off/fan/low/high), and a fader which controls the thermostat.

Modes: "off" is what it says; "fan" just blows the fan without heat; "low" and "high" generate heat (at 1000W or 1500W respectively) and blow the fan.

Thermostat: The heater will automatically turn off if it gets too hot. The thermostat sets the temperature that equals "too hot". The control is gradual.

The controls are easy to use and haven't had any problems.

The mode switch has a motion which is a little soft (when it's in one position, it can move around that position a little). So it feels like it *might* eventually break, but that's only speculative so far it's been fine.

Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I'd tried just about every space heater in this price range. None of them had a thermostat that would go to the set temperature the second time. (A thermostat, once set, should heat to about the same temperature every time.) Because a reviewer said the thermostat on this unit was good, I purchased one. The room to heat was my bathroom, about 80 sq ft, no windows, door closed, interior location away from outer walls. It took a LOT of patience to arrive at the initial preferred setting--80 degrees after turned on about one hour. After that, the second time the unit was turned on for an hour, temps ranged from 72 degrees to 90 (it might have gone higher had I not shut it off.) An obliging local retailer allowed me to try four units in turn. None had a better thermostat. I suspect the different Chinese heater manufacturers source the same thermostats. I rate it one star because space heaters without thermostats are available for less, and it is very noisy. (Please don't tell me how wonderful the thermostats on your Pelonis work. I congratulate you on your good fortune. These were my experiences.)

I have had one of these for several years now and I really like it. It fairly easy to program and once you are done and close the flip up door its very easy to use day-to-day.

I am back to buy one for my 85 year old mother and the key was to keep it simple. There are only three buttons on the outside. Override up and down and the light button. The override lasts only until the next program starts so it perfect. The light really helps since it's in a hallway and its nice not to have to turn the lights on.

The display includes the time, target temp and current temp. It only shows two of the three values at one time so it has to flip back and forth between two of them every couple of seconds but that is the only thing that is less than perfect.

It does have a "hold" button which is good for when you are away and want to keep the temp set at one point.

I really like that its not cluttered with fancy buttons, a touchscreen or so many features that it takes away from its simplicity.

I purchased 2 TX1500s to replace the Carrier digital thermostats that came with my house. The old ones were very inaccurate, sometimes as much as 6 degrees off the true temperature. I purchased these mostly based on the positive Consumer Reports review, and I'm happy to say that this model keeps extremely accurate temperature never off by more than 1 degree from true temperature. My house is much more comfortable during winter and summer now. This unit does all the basics right, is well worth the price, and I would buy it again. Besides the accuracy, the programming is relatively flexible while there is only 1 weekday setting, Saturday and Sunday are separate settings.

Programming is mostly intuitive, however, some miscellaneous settings are not. (Like the filter change notification, which is reset using the "Up" button) The default program is set for the Energy Star recommended temperatures. Although the Energy Star settings are a bit unrealistic, (such as sleeping with the AC set to 82 degrees during the summer) it gives something to base your program on. Another plus is the indiglo type light button that lets you see the screen in the dark.

There are a couple of minor negatives. First, a larger screen would be nice you can't see the current and set temps from more than a few feet away. Also, this may not bother some people, but I don't like the fact that the set temperature and time aren't shown on the screen at the same time I find the blinking back and forth between the two values annoying. Despite this, I still rate this unit at 5 stars since the core functionality is top notch.

OK. My old round Honeywell Mercury thing got replaced 8 years ago by some digital thing (not this product) which was pretty much lame. It finally gave up the ghost, and I tried to find the old Honeywell thing since they last centuries and are bulletproof...could not find it in the garage; must have recycled it.

So the service tech offered us a buffet of products. We picked this one. He confirmed that it was the most popular, largely cuz of the big VISIBLE numbers. What a novel idea: 40-plus-year-olds need not get their glasses. (Not 40? Your day is coming.)

Next option: do you want programmable or non-programmable? We picked non-programmable, which is kinda like the old Honeywell round mercury thing from 50 years ago. You've got your Heat button, A/C button, OFF button, and of course the FAN (On/Auto) button for those fools who like to pump cool air up into the 150F attic while the compressor is off. Seems logical, but it isn't--why do they even allow this?? Then you have your Temp Up button, and your Temp Down button.

Here is how to program the non-programmable unit: as you leave the house, you choose OFF or a higher temperature. When you return, change it back. As victims of Communist Chinese products, there are very few choices that we have these days. One is to pick a flavor at the drive-thru-coffee, and the second is to press buttons on the thermo. Voila.

By the way, did I mention that there is a battery strength meter directly on the display? Oh joy!

Very happy so far, except for the markup of the outcall. Oh well I suppose I got full satisfaction.

When we had a new furnace and AC system installed in our house a Honeywell programmable thermostat with digital display was installed. I hated it the first month we had it but couldn't find anything substantially better to replace it with. What I didn't like was the print on the display is way to small for me to read and that is compounded by a very low contrast screen. To do anything with the thermostat required me to put on my reading glasses and get a flashlight. How dumb is that?

This Emerson thermostat solves all those problems. Bright and high contrast display, large letters and numbers, intuitive layout. So for you baby boomers with fading eyesight, like me, this is the thermostat you have been looking for.

Took me all of 20 minutes to swap the wires from the Honeywell to the Emerson and mount it on the wall. Even the wall mounting holes matched! Easy Peasy. Works great.

I installed this in the addition we built for my mother-in-law. She has macular generation and this thermostat is just what she needed, including the lit display. I set the maximum temperature lock at 74F and the min at 64F so she does not accidentally manually adjust the thermostat outside that range. I am purchasing another one for our side of the house as well. The heating and cooling system we have is a Bryant 95% high eff hot air with AC. The thermostat is wired to an Arzel "air boss" with three zones. I'm an engineer and this is the best thermostat I have used to date.

Best Thermostat I ever installed. Easy to see and read. Best control layout, making it so simple to use for anyone. Plus the nicest, clean looking big display, with the nice blue back light. Like the way it works. This unit I bought to replace the original 13 year old Honneywell round manuel unit installed when house was built. It had been acting up, but boy, what a difference.

Makes my ageing Heating and Cooling system feel like everything is just working so much better, although I'm sure it just feels that way. :-). Still the control is so accurate now, down to the exact degree you set it for. Simple installation anyone can do in no time at all. Looks great too. Smart design.

Really love the product and would recommend to anyone to replace even the common digital units sod today..

I dont have central heat and air for years now. I been looking for sometime a good strong heater that works on a 220V shocket.

I finally saw this one and bought it.

Same size as your typical plug in Electric heaters. The chord to plug into the socket tho is the same as my 24,000 BTU a/c....it's a Big thick 10 gauge chord with a 30 am terminal.

Anyhow, of you have a 30 amp socket, your good to go.

This unit is is waaaaaaaaaaaay Hotter than ANY standard plug in heater. Those at BEST will give you 5,100 BTU, this unit gives you 16,000 BTU's. About as much as a kerosene heater.

Has your typical controls for a heater, on off, and a thermostat by numbers (1 to 6). I highly recommend this Heater for anyone ho has no central heat or you need heat in your garage or work shed, this is perfect.

I bought this for my 20'x20' semi-insulated attached garage in Wisconsin. It cranks out some heat, but not enough to realistically heat that garage in the winter unless it runs ALL the time. Nicely built unit, VERY simple, basically a coil, fan, and thermostat. There is nothing else inside this thing. When I turned this unit on, and placed it next to my existing 120V 1500W fan heater ($10 type model), I had to check several times because I didn't even think the 1500w heater was turned on! This unit cranks out some heat for it's size. It's basically the size of two shoeboxes taped together, or maybe a pice of paper, it's very small. It helps in the garage, but I found that it is better used in my basement where it can make a bid difference in just a few minutes of use.

Remember you need a 30 amp 240 volt outlet for this. I used my dryer outlet, since I now have a gas dryer. I made up an extension cord that plugs into the existing dryer outlet, and has the 30 amp NEMA outlet on the other end. I got all the stuff at Home Depot, and the cord will be the most expensive part (you need 12 guage, 3 conductors total, no neutral needed).

All in allnot big enough for the garage, but works nice in the workshop. 4800 watts is a lot of power though so I expect a big electric bill :)

I bought this air conditioner off amazon because during the heat wave here all of the stores locally had sold out. I was concerend about such a large delicate item being shipped to me but UPS must have done their job correctly because it arrived to me safely. I bought this unit after my Soleus Air Conditioner broke down on me during a 105 degree day. I got online and found this air conditioner the very next day. I used the free super saver shipping and received it 2 days later even though it said 5 to 8 business days which was FANTASTIC!

I installed this unit by myself but I do not recommend it. I am a huge strong guy and have above average knowledge of installing window air conditioners. This unit is huge and heavy and cools my entire house. I live in a small 3 bedroom one story house and with the aid from a few fans every room stays nice and cool even on the hottest humid days. I have the unit in my living room I position a fan pointed down the hall from my living room to funnel cold air to the bedrooms and bathroom and have a fan in two of the bedrooms which works great! It is 102 degrees right now as I am writing this review I have the unit set on 67 energy saver and its frosty in every room. It gets downright freezing at night in all the rooms after the sun has set for a while. No complaints so far about the performance but I do have a small issue of the front panel cover. The front panel cover is slighly bulky and feels pretty cheap. I would expect a more sleek design from LG and I do not lik it does not have an option on the display for me to see what the temperature is in the room it only allows you to see the temp you have the ac set for.

I'll give a more detailed performance review after I've had it working for a while, but wanted to give a heads-up about handling this during delivery.

I'm giving this another chance. I tried this last year, but the Fedex guy dropped it while unloading it from the truck. The G-force bent the mount that holds the motor and fan creating a grinding sound. Amazon had it picked up for free and refunded all of my money with no problems. This year I purchased it from a local electronics store. Two skinny little guys delivered it to my apartment, which made me nervous. I did notice that there is a slight wobble to the fan as it turns, but I'm hoping this won't be a problem. Not sure if they dropped it during loading/unloading.

So far I'm trying different locations for installation and it is putting out a lot of cold air. Once it is fully installed and running, I'll update my review.

Bottom-line; Make sure you know who is delivering this to you and how. This thing is heavy and hard to get a grip on, make sure there are two guys.

Update:

I finally got it installed in my one bedroom apartment and it produced really cold air! I'm using it on the lowest setting so I don't disturb my neighbors in nearby apartment units. It was 88 degrees outside and my place was cooled down to 74 very quickly. I'm sure I could have gotten it much colder if needed. I don't detect any problems from the fan, as mentioned above. Timer shuts it off several hours later as needed and the energy features shut off both the compressor and the fan until cooling is need again.

Giving it 4 stars of now, because getting to your house without some kind of damage makes me wonder about the long term quality. Maybe it needs a real shipping container instead of a cardboard box with 1" to 2" of styrofoam!

Once the outside temp gets into the 90's and 100's, I'll give another update.

Update 2:

I have operated the unit with outside temps around 97 degrees now. I had no problem keeping the apartment around 72 degrees with the fan set at the lowest setting.

Note that if you have this AC unit set on timer mode it will auto increase the temp by 2 degrees after about 2 hours, then stop increasing. They do this because they think your body is getting colder by 2 degrees while you sleep. I found this out the hard way. I couldn't understand why the unit was changing my temp settings. Now if I use the timer, I just set it 2 degrees colder than normal.

Our AC started to act up just after the warranty was up. First the touch pad on the AC itself stopped working, and we could only operate the unit by remote.

Then it started working again normally on it's own after about a month. It was short lived though because the remote stopped working(changing the batteries did not help). Then shortly after that, all of buttons on the unit failed except the power button. In order for it to work, the power button had to be held down for about 3 seconds..... but the mode/fan speed/ temp etc did not respond to touch. Then the unit started working once again on it's own. The last issue is, the AC will automatically change it's temperature. Lowering, or raising the temperature on it's own, usually in the middle of the night. Not only did I get a piece of junk, but I got a possessed piece of junk starts to beep when one try's to sleep.

LG's site support was difficult to navigate, and the AC is too heavy for one to carry to a repair shop. I'm done with LG's AC line.

I would highly recommend this toaster oven. I wasn't sure whether or not I would like this one. It is not a brand that I usually think of that goes with toaster ovens. I have used it several times & it is GREAT! It has lots of power and will toast bread to perfection. I especially like the pizza pan that came with it. It will hold a 12" pizza and the crust gets nice & crunchy and the toppings melt well too. I have yet to cook anything like a roast or chicken in it but one of these days I will and I am sure it will do fine.

This oven is simple, easy to use and it just plain works. I have paid high dollar for fancy models with LCD readouts. They all break.

It seems every toaster oven I have bought over the last 4 or 5 years has lasted about a year. I finally decided to stop buying the more expensive ovens and get something cheaper so that when it gives out in a year, it won't be such a loss. I have only had this one for a week, so I don't know how long it will last, but it has worked perfectly and accurately every time I have used it. The interior is big enough to hold a small casserole or small pizza. Last night I re-warmed/crisped up some Chinese salt and pepper shrimp and it worked great. Two nights ago I broiled steaks which turned out great. Plus, shipping was faster than I expected, and I had great service from the manufacturer who immediately shipped a missing oven rack.

Honest reviews on Rosewill RTOB-11001 6 Slice Toaster Oven Broiler, Black

Overall I am very happy with this oven. But there are a couple of things to be aware of.

1) It's BIG. Check the dimensions listed. Then realize it has built in stand-offs in the rear that push it back from the wall another 1.5-2". It's also very TALL so keep that in mind when considering where to place it. The top and sides get very hot when in use so give it some room there.

2) This is a no-frills oven. While it is very well-built, there is nothing extra. Dial-based timer. The oven door has no springs or counterweight and doesn't retract the tray when opened. Actually due to the large size, that's not really an issue as you can easily fit your hand inside without having to squeeze it in under the hot top heating elements. But it works great, can fit anything and warms up very quickly. Overall I'm quite happy with it and would buy it again.

I have only used it for baking, however biscuits, cupcakes and pizza have all turned out wonderfully thus far. It was also very well packaged and arrived next day. I highly recommend this toaster oven.

This is a great meter. I work in tight places that are difficult to access in most cases, and this meter works extremely well for me. I am a professional commercial HVAC tech and this is my meter of choice. It has all the features I need to get accurate, easy to read values that are critical in my line of work.

If I would change anything on this model it would be the addition of the magnetic hanger (like in some of the other FP models) and the test leads are recessed which I struggled with at first. Rugged and reliable, great meter.

Most important tool in my tool bag!I do apartment maintenance and this meter is used many times a day,everyday!Its all you need for HVAC,appliance diagnostics,120 volt wiring 208 240 volt and low voltage.Its small enough to fit in the tool bag and rugged enough to be dropped from time to time and still works perfectly!

for the price this meter is pretty reasonable. i just got one for an electronics class at school and it works but is not the most accurate. i also noticed that it doesn't have a fuse so if you overload it you overload it and that's it. if you've got the money or need something more professional get a fluke.

Buy Holmes HFH-5656-U Power Heater Fan

Holmes HFH-5656-U Power Heater Fan
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Got this to use in my office during the winter. The 1 touch button is completely annoying because you have to push it repeatedly to get what you want. And the thermostat settings do not work at all and the heater remains off when in the thermostat settings. This is frustrating because even the LO setting is to warm so I want it to just detect when to turn on and off automatically rather than me wasting time and constantly turning it on and off automatically. I am going to return this product ASAP and get a space heater with dual knobs.

Great Fan, not hot enough to set anything on fire, but really helps keep the room warm. Note: Does Not automatically oscillate

Holmes HFH-5656-U Power Heater Fan I purchased this heater to help keep our tent warm during a weekend campout, where the overnight temperature was to be below 20 degrees. I used it for a 3-man tent and it provided outstanding performance. The tent stayed warm throughout the night.

Honest reviews on Holmes HFH-5656-U Power Heater Fan

I bought this one a long time ago. Maybe there are better heaters out there but this one does the job, and it does not get so hot that you end up burning yourself when you touch it, yet it heats a small room fine. Here are the pluses and minuses:

Positives:

+ Reasonably priced

+ Can keep a bedroom plenty hot

+ The exhaust grill stays cool. I feel safe with it around my 3 year old, and felt safe with it around him when he was 2 (even let him play with it)

Negatives:

The one-button interface is a bit irritating. You need to push it a bunch of times to hit the temperature you need.

The thermostat is not very accurate, it's probably off by as much as ten degrees. I keep it on "80", when I really want 70. Sometimes when I want it hotter, I put it on "High", but that means that it stays on and never shuts off, and I end up overheated. I wish it had a setting for "90", so that I could get it to heat the room to 75.

I will probably buy a second unit, and would not feel bad recommending this to someone else. I bought several other space heaters that were more expensive, cheaper, more feature rich, etc., and ended up returning them in frustration because they all shared the common problem of burning whoever touched the grill. Having gone through so many others looking for a replacement, I have a greater appreciation for this little guy.

This is not the review for the product, in fact this is a review for dealyard firm that sold me a used and defective product! Well.. Dealyard send me a defective product and its definitely a used product. Upon following up with dealyard they are requesting me to contact Holmes as the product has still warranty!! This is really funny, Here is a company that sells a defective and used product and finally wants their customers to send the product to the actual vendors for fixing!!! Net, Dealyard sucks!!

We use this heater in our small personal greenhouse. When my last heater quite working (after 7 years) in the middle of winter, I was in a panic to find a replacement that would match the last one--How surprised to find it on Amazon. Hope this one lasts as long as the last one.

I bought this expecting the extra vertical height to deliver the heat at a more direct level. Which it kind of does but that design is a compromise which doesn't offer a great benefit.

The design gives you the impression that the front fascia is mostly a heat output area but that's a lie. What they've done is taken a typical 1500W wide-type heating element and just stretched it vertically, so the actual area of output is through a 1 inch vertical gap between the center three fins. The lower quarter of the design is for the fan intake too so don't consider that part of the heating element.

What this means is the heat delivery is a very narrow area of effect and you have to be standing within about three or four feet to feel it on your skin. In fact the output even on high is not very hot at all. On the plus side it means the casing remains cool to the touch on all sides, in fact you could actually put your hand over the opening and leave it there. A hair dryer has a hotter output and at high speed this unit sounds about the same as a hair dryer so it needs to be at a distance. Low speed is more tolerable.

The remote is useful in that it has an LCD feedback display for temperature and fan setting but is very cheaply made with loose, cheap feeling buttons. The main unit fares better but it is not one of Lasko's better quality products.

If you want to slowly heat a small room then this would probably work, but for medium to large rooms the output will not provide instant heat and be in constant use trying to automatically maintain your set temperature.

I have a smaller Lasko heater, but I needed a bigger one to heat my 670SF work space. It works great. Really gets the place comfortable. The price is affordable, too.

I works pretty well. My furnace went out one morning and this kept my living/kitchen room at 58-60F. It is nice thats its taller than most space heaters incase you were in bed or on a couch.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5588 Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote

Having purchased a Lasco fan which works very well and has a relatively small footprint, I definitely turned to Lasko when I was looking for a heater. The 5588 fit the bill. I have not experienced any problems, EXCEPT that when my printer (in the office where I was using the heater) began to print, the electricity went out. I had to get a new line for my office to prevent this from happening again. Now it works well! I imagine that my experience is similar to others who have purchased a heater (Lasko or another brand). It is well to be warned so you are prepared if this happens to you. Getting a new line installed cost me almost $300.00, but, in the end, it was worth it.

This is the best tower heater ive ever used. Love that the remote has a small lcd display. Heats up my bedroom quick. Love the automatic temp thing, turns off when it gets to the temp and then keeps checking it every once in a while to see if its still the same temp. Only dislike is the bright blue lights on the top, just a little too bright for sleeping.
