Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is conveniently portable, you can carry it from one room to another, even if you have been using it for sometime. The heat is coming from the bottom and doesn't heats up the handles that are on the top. It uses two 40W E12 lamps that can be replaced from the back.

Pros:

wonderful magical fireplace display. It looks like an authentic fire unless you are very close to it.

no assembly required

Cons:

Not extremely loud but still makes noise even no heater is on.

No authentic fire log crackling noise. Fireplace DVDs give you better experience on audio.

It is blowing air on the bottom but not enough to spread the head across the room

Energy consumption:

I used a Kill-a-Watt to measure how much energy it consumes. This electronic fireplace has three rocker switches. The first one is for light display only. The other two switches is to turn on the heater. There are two rotating knobs. The one on the left is for the light display intensity. The one on the right is a dumb knob for the heater temperature. It is actually just a two step switch. It doesn't adjust gradually. Nothing happens until you turn the knob past halfway before the light on the second heater switch turns on. After passing halfway, the heat will not intensify more even if you turn the knob all the way to the highest setting.

Light only, dimmest setting = 53W

Light only, brightest setting = 78W

Light + 1 heater switch = 731W

Light + 2 heater switches = 1,311W

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have not had an electric fireplace before. But, I was certainly surprised at the heating uniformity this one produced. I was suspicious that it would heat in one spot, like those small space heaters.

I placed this in the lowest level of my home. I have a Tri-level and the basement level is the coldest. Although it is not too cold yet, this electric Fireplace threw out some instant heat. The heat soon radiated into the room, and it kept the heat in the room uniform.

I liked the look of the flames and the wood, as it is quite realistic. The flames are high, and consistently producing nice images of fire.

My only concern is that the flames are placed in the back, and I would like the flames to billow out of the "logs" also. So, the logs are lit, and the flames are in the back.

The unit, itself, does not get hot, and there is an auto safety feature. You can operate this with or without the heat. PLUS, you can operate one heating element or both for greater warmth.

I placed the Fireplace in the Living Room, and I got a very nice uniform heat. I will, of course, raise the fireplace for more of a level to eye view and enjoyment.

This one is smaller than my other unit Frigidaire CMSF-10310 Cleveland Floor Standing Electric Fireplace Black. It is compact and easy to move. It certainly does not take up much space.

But what I do not know yet is if this uses more electricity than normal. I will test it out, But, in the meanwhile, it is wonderful!! Works great, looks better! Rizzo

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We are thoroughly enjoying this electric fireplace. First of all, it's an attractive piece and appropriate for our bedroom, den and living area. One of the best things about it is its portability we can move it wherever we wish.

Since we live in the Southwest we've yet to experience any real winter this year so have just used it during the cool mornings of late. We cannot wait for real frosty winter to arrive as we have visions of toasty evenings watching TV.

We're pleased that we don't have to heat the entire villa to make us comfortable in one room. What a boon when the bill comes around!

Think the price for it is quite reasonable and for us a Frigidaire product is a good, dependable one.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire DSF-10302 Dallas Floor Standing Electric Fireplace

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This fireplace is a bit small to do anything with. Since it's a 'fireplace,' you want it out in the open to admire it, but it's too small to act like a fireplace. If you end up putting it close to you to act as a space heater, you lose a lot of the ambiance of the fireplace and starts to look really fake. I do like that it has two heat settings -and can put out a respectable amount of heat for its size -but I think I'd opt for one of the bigger, more expensive ones over this one. It's really too small and 'space heater like' to really appreciate as a fireplace.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This floorstanding fireplace is easily moved from location to location. It gives off a pleasant orange glow in addition to the heat coming from the bottom of the unit. The control that operates the fire appearance is a rheostat on the back panel the visual effects cannot be turned off if the unit is turned on. That is, you can't have just the heat without any visual effects; even at the dimmest setting, the effects may be too bright in an otherwise dark room. The heater control can be run at half power as there are two heater switches. Leave one off and you get half the heat at half the power. I found that to be sufficient in most cases.

The only downside of the unit is the noise. The white noise from the fan is considerable in a quiet room. It isn't grating in any way but would require that you turn up your music or watch TV at a higher volume than you might otherwise in the same space. I'd prefer a quieter fan.

In comparing this with other portable heaters that I have, this unit produces the same amount of heat but costs considerably more. You're paying here for the fireplace appearance. If that's what you are looking for, there's no question that visually this product is far more appealing than your run of the mill beige colored heat generating boxes. But if the heat is what you're looking for, and visual effects are secondary, look elsewhere.

One final point of concern is the warning in the product brochure: "This fireplace is intended for supplemental heat and/or decorative purposes. Continuous use for several hours can impact the performance and life of the fireplace." This may be of concern for those who might think to use the product, say, in their home office for 7-8 hours a day during the winter or who put it in their bedroom to keep the room warm at night after they turn down the house thermostat.

Great looking, and love the LED light inside, when the door is open. A little noisy when it's running, but I had read that before I bought it. Makes ice great and faster that I thought it would.

Only complaint is that the larger side where it holds beverage cans, temperature will not go below 45 degrees. I'm going to have a tech come out to see about the thermostat (under warranty). Also, 4 year warranty only available in Canada.

I bought this electric fireplace at a local furniture store. Unfortunately, I paid $250 more plus had to haul it an hour home! The fireplace is made of solid wood and was packaged in two boxes. (Very HEAVY) The assembly directions were very clear and took my husband and I about 90 minutes to put it together.

The flame is relistic and I have received many compliments over this piece. I have a 55 inch TV that sits on the mantle and all of my electronic components fit nicely underneath. The additional glass front storage along side the firebox is wonderful for displaying collectibles or putting my DVDs away.

Do NOT expect to heat your whole house with this fireplace. It is SUPPLEMENTAL heat only. Heat flows out from the top of the box... my dogs enjoy laying on a rug in front of the fireplace! I also like that the heat is adjustable. The flame can be turned on with or without heat.

This fireplace may be a bit more expensive than others on the market, but well worth it!

The thermostat looks kind of bulky on the wall, but so do many others. The "needle" inside of it that shows the temperature can be off by around 5°. The other problem that I have with this thing is the silly range. It starts at 45° and ends at 75°. This means that you can't have a room warmer than 75°. My other thermostats go to around 95°. Not that I'll ever need it that hot, but it's good to be able to. All together, skip this one.

The thermostat is more than just a few degrees off. I bought two of these products with the same result.

When the thermostat does decide to come on, it never consistently decides to turn off. I will have the thermostat at 72 degrees, and 76 degrees later, the heater is still running. Replaced with different thermostat. I will never purchase again.

My decision for a compact refrigerator was a double door design. Separate freezer and refrigerator.

I highly recommend this product and this brand (Air Purifiers USA). After ordering the product, I contacted the manufacture (via the email confirmation details), and asked about the color options. White on white vs. Stainless on black. (I read them on the product description page, but was not able to make the selection during checkout). The gentlemen suggested putting the order on hold for 2 hours, he then contacted the warehouse, determined availability, and called me back and I selected Stainless on black. The order arrived in 3 days using regular shipping and the box was very well packaged. In fact, the original packing carton was inserted into a slightly larger carton (with good padding) and the entire packing was first rate.

The refrigerator is a thing of beauty. A full size look in a compact size unit. Stainless front with black box. The top has a convenient molded tray, designed to be used as a 'spill proof' counter top. The topside is large enough to hold coffee maker, cups, etc. and will never scratch.

Time will tell if this unit will perform as expected. My confidence is high and I am a very pleased customer.

I bought a slightly different model 1 year ago. It has worked superbly all the time. So, why do I bother to write the review NOW ? Because of Customer Support. I needed to move the fridge to another location, and re-hung the doors from hinges-on-the-right (the way it came from the factory) to hinges-on-the-left. When I was done, the freezer door was slightly misaligned and did not close properly. I called their 800 number; it is busy much of the time (it is either busy, or a person answers, no waiting), but it was worth retrying. When I got through to a person, HE ACTUALLY WALKED ME THROUGH THE STEPS NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM on the phone; no charge, no hassle (and he spoke flawless American English, as opposed to me). I am so impressed that I felt compelled to write this review. These guys can sell me any of their equipment any time.

After lots of research, I decided to get a fridge with separate freezer and refrigerator components because I read that having a freezer inside the fridge compartment will make either the fridge too cold or too warm depending on how you dial the setting. This fridge got compliments for its looks in my office, and works great! So quiet, I don't notice it's there! The freezer freezes ice cubes and the refrigerator keeps my food cold. The dial was easily set so that the fridge is not warm but not so cold that it freezes the food. I was even impressed that the dial could be set so cold that my food got frozen in the fridge section!

I bought this to replace a broken chiller made by Waste King. The old unit had a broken compressor and fan and the parts cost plus labor exceeded the cost of this Clover C12E so I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The unit is slightly bigger than the one being replaced but shaped like a large block of wood so you have a flat surface on top to put things. I didn't quite like the unfinished surface but it is meant to go inside the cabinet so it really does not matter. The hookup is a snap. I had to get the 2 quick connect connectors that would fit the 2 outlets and connect the tubing to the old connectors. The fan is a bit noisy but quieter than the old one. All in all I am very happy with this product.

Rather than a fridge mounted water dispenser on our new fridge I decided to install this unit in my basement and connect it to a separate faucet with an inline filter for cold water in the kitchen. The water is nice and cold and the unit shuts off when the correct temperature is reached. It also has a large enough tank for the cold water which the old fridge mounted unit did not.

Perfect for folks switching to an integrated style refrigerator from an "ice & water through the door" model. Compact unit should fit under most sinks. Appears to be well made and a great value. Includes basic installation instructions, including recommended ventilation dimensions.

So far, I could not use this water chiller unit because the water drains from the bottom out of the service drain. Now we've been at it for more than three hours trying to figure out how to stop the leaking: tightening the valve, passing water into the unit to find if there's a crack, etc. The only thing we could not do was open up the unit to find the actual problem, in fear of voiding the warranty.

Instead we asked the distributor of this item for a replacement unit. Turns out that same unit has that same leaking problem out of the same exact place.

I found this item to have wasted more than two months of my time. I do not recommend this item in fear that more units will be just as defective.

The TMWB2REGW Toastmaster Waffle Maker makes really good waffles. It has red, yellow, and green indicator lights so that you know when it is preheated, and when your waffles are done. The lid locks in position to insure even cooking. For storage, this appliance stands on end, so it takes up very little space, and the cord tucks neatly out of the way. An added plus is that it is reasonably priced.I am so glad that I decided to purchase this particular waffle maker.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I bought this because my other one went out. I purchased a Food Network one that did 4 waffles at a time. It took lots of batter and when it messed up, you had to throw out 4 waffles. This one does the job but it has very small square imprint. Very cheap design. Definately not a belgium size and not even a recipe in booklet. That said, it makes decent waffles, but you must take time to fluff your egg whites or it will not be crispy. This is a great size for ice cream sandwiches. Also I went to Walmart one day and they sell one that is similar for quite a bit less. I always buy on Amazon because it is usually best price and I do not have to drive to town.

Best Deals on Toastmaster 2-Section Waffle Maker TMWB2REGW

I followed directions exactly let it warm up, waited 3 minutes as per instructions before even attempting to check waffles for doneness. Even let them cook a little longer. What I ended up with were waffles that were separated and stuck to either side of the waffle maker. Yes, I also did grease the grills a little so they wouldn't stick. But they separated in the middle so I had to pry them off each side. If I had left them on any longer they would have burnt. Then, there was the cleaning of what was left on the grills. Instructions say to use a pastry brush to clean. Ha! No way. Luckily I had a plastic spatula scraper thing that came with a George Forman grill that I could use to scrape off the remainder of the "waffles". My advice: don't get this thing. Find something else.

Honest reviews on Toastmaster 2-Section Waffle Maker TMWB2REGW

The waffles are more like pancakes with slight indents. I have an older model of this Toastmaster which is far far superior. Knowing full well this isn't a Belgian waffle iron, it's not really like any waffle maker I've ever seen. My guess is that it's been cheapened to save a little bit of materials.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I like the thin "eggo" style waffles, not the Belgian style; and I like the square shape as well, they are easier to freeze for later. These make very nicely browned waffles. I have accidentally left waffles cooking in this for quite a while once and they didn't burn! I got it for a REALLY great price too! I love this waffle maker!

Review of Lasko 5365 Ceramic Pedestal Heater with Remote Control

Lasko 5365 Ceramic Pedestal Heater with Remote Control
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
This could be a very good heater option for some people, if the features fit what you need.

It takes up relatively little floor space, and the pedestal design puts the heater up a little higher, if that suits your needs. (A regular tower heater might be fine for lots of people, though.)

It's 30 tall" and the base is a 12" circle. The top part is about 7.5" wide at the top (the widest part).

Pros:

High 1500W (5118 BTU) and low 900W (3070 BTU) settings. And two fan speeds to go with that the fans runs more slowly and quieter on low which is a feature that's missing on many heaters for some inexplicable reason.

Quiet for a heater with a fan, especially on the low setting. (But that can't be used with the auto thermostat setting, see below!)

Well built, and well packed.

The light weight and convenient handle, at the top of the back, make it easy to carry and move around.

The controls are well placed, easy to read, and make sense they do the things you'd think they should.

The LCD shows the room temperature and the thermostat setting, exactly no guessing on a dial with marks around it! Both seem very accurate it matches a digital thermometer I have in the room.

Cons:

The biggest one by far for me the auto setting (to maintain the temperature you set) only uses high heat. Low auto isn't an option.

No automatic shutoff if it tips over. Maybe the overheat protection would take care of it, and it doesn't really get that hot but I'd think they'd want to have that in a heater with this design.

The base looks a little big 12" across but I suppose it has to be to make the pedestal work.

There's no auto low setting which was the main reason I wanted this heater, to have something quiet that could maintain the temperature in a bedroom at night. That would also mean it would switch on and off fewer times, and draw less peak electric current. Big oversight on the manufacturer's part.

Though otherwise, it's about as quiet as fan heater could be, I imagine. If you need something quieter, look at something like the DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator very quiet, but the heat circulates only by convection (hot air rising), which might not work for all situations.

This heater requires some assembly of the pedestal and base. Just tightening some screws, really, but it's a little cumbersome since the top piece can't rest anywhere given the shape. Just plan on it taking ten minutes or so.

The manufacturers website, laskoproducts.com, has more info and you can download the owners' manuals in pdf form.

There are multiple model number versions of this heater 5355, 5365, and 5350 and as far as I can tell they vary only in the colors and what stores sell them. You can read lots more comments on a similar version of this heater at the HomeDepot website.

This heater works great! Now I have to give a little disclaimer: I don't have much experience with many different brands or types of space heaters. I do know however that this space heater kept a 20'x25' room at 85 degrees no problem. I should mention that one of the walls in this room is almost entirely windows (which lose heat quickly).

Pros:

-Comes with remote

-Is quiet (It sounds like a fan on a low setting)

-Heats well

-Space efficient (takes up little room)

-Very lightweight with handle (easy transport)

-Won't start a fire! (I touched the face of it and held my hand to it on high setting, it is warm but not painfully hot. The entire rest of the unit stays so cool it is amazing!)

Cons:

-Control Panel is only visible from almost directly in front (I thought there was something wrong at first because I couldn't make out anything on it)

-Timer Function: You may only set the timer to go for a certain length of time. I was under the impression you could set the heater to START after a certain time (e.g., to warm up the room before you get home)

Other than that I found that you have to keep it on oscillating to really keep the room warm, otherwise it only heats the area in front of it and continually switches to low power, never getting the entire room to the desired temperature. I went through a ton of these reviews on different heaters and one concern I saw in a bunch of them was that the power cord might not hold up (i.e. cause electrical fire). I got the heater for my girlfriend so I wanted to be sure this wouldn't be a problemI ran it for over 14 hours straight on the high setting and the cord wasn't even warm, so that put my fears to rest.

I've only owned this thing for about a month so I'll give a durability assessment later. If I don't change my review you can be sure that it hasn't broken downI will absolutely complain if this thing malfunctions within the next two years.

Update:

So she left it at her parents place over the weekend, and after setting it up they decided they wanted one for themselves. Just another testament to how well it works!

Best Deals on Lasko 5365 Ceramic Pedestal Heater with Remote Control

We try to reduce our heating bills by keeping upstairs doors closed, setting the furnace thermostat down and using space heaters for the room we are in. Last year I tried several space heaters. All but 2 stopped working. This year I bought the LASKO heater. After a month of using it I ordered another. We use them constantly. What we love about it: the base and shape of it, extremely quiet, heats a small room well, the timer feature and remote are very nice. Dislike: haven't found anything yet. If these continue working all winter, I will be very pleased. So far we have ran them to death and had no problems with them.

12/07/09 Update on this heater. I bought these two space heaters over a year ago. I covered them during the summer to prevent dust and the one other thing we don't do is use the oscillating feature. From trial and error with other floor heaters, that seems to wear them out quicker. Both these units are now into heavy use over the last month for their second winter. We have had no issues. I am about to buy 3 more because we fight over which rooms get these. My favorite things about these heaters are: (1) they are very quiet, (2) the timer feature, (3) physically do not seem to get hot like other heaters, (4) pedestal design gets the heat where you want it, (5) they work they heat a good sized bedroom. We've had no problems with either unit.

I love this heater.

It really does a good job keeping the bedroom warm. Sometimes I'll wake up and it'll be too hot that I have to turn it off... did I tell you that it comes with a remote control????

It's a great thing to have by the night table especially when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't feel like getting out of bed to shut it off.

I also love the fact that you can adjust the temperature to what you want and also how many hours you want it on for.

It's a excellent heater to have It's especially great for those of you who have Landlords that are too cheap to give you heat.

I had been searching online for a heater for months. I looked at every review. I got one at target for $50 and had it for about 1 month. The air started coming out cold once the heater felt the room was warm enough! Finally I started to borrow my roommates heater this one. It was awesome. Heats a room really fast. You can feel the heat right away. The cord gets a little warm when it's on too long but it turns off by itself if it gets too warm so no worries there. My roommate has had hers for about 3 years so I'm confident mine will last a long time.

Bought one of these about 2 weeks ago, seemed to work well at first. A few hours later the fan was making an annoying chirping noise off and on.

Fast forward 2 weeks, and I smell a burning electronic smell but can't tell where it's coming from. A few minutes pass and suddenly I see my shiny new space heater shooting sparks like crazy. Luckily I was across the room, and quickly unplugged it, otherwise it likely would have started a fire.

I bought a cheap one under the assumption they're pretty simple products, and anything should do the trick, but apparently "not burning your house down" is something you have to pay a little extra for.

I have been using one of these for seven (yes, 7) years at work and it's showing no signs of giving up the ghost. It runs almost all day every day including summer because the AC at work is too cold for me. I actually have another one waiting in the wings in case this does finally quit and am now buying one to replace a 9-year-old old Maxi-Heat in my bathroom. To those who let heaters run unattended (as in when you're sleeping)... you just shouldn't. If you must, get an oil-filled radiator type they're much safer to leave unattended

0 stars, unit needs to be retested by UL.

Well last night I woke up and felt cold. But the heater was still making noise. I got up and all the elements were off, there was a funny smell but the fan was still blowing cool air out. I toggled the switch and nothing would work.

So, I unplugged the heater, got my flashlight and screwdriver and looked inside. I took it apart(fan side) and the wire connected to the element had literally melted through the connection point and there were signs of burnt plastic on the wire and the connection point.

Basically there was a mini fire inside the unit while I was SLEEPING.I cannot explain how uncomfortable this knowledge made me feel today. I got lucky, but someone else might not.Someones kids may not,please avoid this product. I would never recommend this unit to anyone. Please don't buy this unit it quite literally could burn your house down while you sleep. Btw, the overheat alarm never went off, I don't understand how this unit is still on the market.

I am currently sitting in a cold room tonight because I have no heater down here atm. I need to get one tomorrow.If you have any question I will try to answer them.

As soon as I figure out how I will be reporting this to UL and see what they have to say, I have seen a few other negative fire related reviews about this product online.

Best DeLonghi DDH30 30-Pint Capacity Dehumidifier Deals

DeLonghi DDH30 30-Pint Capacity Dehumidifier
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

The first DeLonghi 30-pint unit I received from Amazon looked great but did not function properly; the cooling unit that removes water from the air didn't work. I returned the unit for an exchange. (Amazon gets five stars for their excellent return process). The second unit arrived in good condition and worked for about 2 minutes before the compressor in the cooling unit stopped, never to start again. I tested the unit in an 80 degree bathroom at 100 percent humidity and it did not remove a drop of water from the air. The literature with the unit does not provide any help on this type of malfunction, but does give a Web site address ( The Web site had great graphics but no useful information. A note to the company asking if there was any way to solve the problem elicited a recommendation to return the unit.

The DDH30 dehumidifier appears well-made in other respects, but clearly there is a quality control problem with the refrigeration unit, or it is easily damaged during shipment. It appears impossible for a homeowner to open the unit to do any minor repairs, so the only alternative is to return units that don't work. An electrical schematic is located behind the removable water bucket, but isn't very helpful because there isn't any easy way to access the unit's innards. I notice that the controls for the DDH30 are more primitive than the larger models. Perhaps those more sophisticated units are more reliable, but I'm not taking the chance...

In my experience, the DDH30 dehumidifier -like the DeLonghi web site -looks great but isn't very useful.

I purchased it because it had a good name and my apartment had too much moisture. Once I set it up, the dehumidifier did not collect any moisture and runs very loud. We tried it for a few more days, but no moisture was collected. Had to return it. It was somewhat a hassle trying to use the same box to repack it.

I had been a satisfied owner of a DeLonghi dehumidifier that ran for years. When it finally went quit working, I wanted another DeLonghi and ordered this one. It arrived with a broken-off humidstat knob and a bent case, so I had to return it for a replacement. The replacement's water condensation unit didn't work at all (i.e., it didn't extract any water from the air). It also a small, strange ding that looked as if a heavy interior part of the machine had been thrown against the inside of the case so hard it made a reverse dent. I returned this DOA machine too, and asked for yet another replacement, but Amazon said no. Can't blame them.

It looks to me like the real problem is the ridiculously flimsy packaging, which isn't nearly sturdy enough to protect these weighty but somewhat fragile machines during shipment. Because of this, I cannot recommend ordering this item, even though for all I know the machine itself may be excellent if it isn't damaged in shipment.

I finally ended up ordering a different brand from a different vendor, and the difference in the packaging is worth describing. The DeLonghi machines arrived in only the manufacturer's original cardboard box. Inside the box were top and bottom styrofoam pads but just air around the sides of the machine. A couple of shipping straps helped hold the box together. The boxes were torn and gouged and in generally terrible condition on arrival; one looked like it had been taped up extensively to hold it together before it even shipped. But this "other" brand dehumidifier from a different retailer arrived with bubble pack and a second cardboard box around the manufacturer's original box, which itself had styrofoam protecting the machine on top, bottom, AND sides. The outside box had a heavy corner reinforcement splint along each of the four vertical corners and there were five shipping straps holding them in place. These splints extended beyond the top and bottom of the box, which had the effect of creating short legs so that the box itself didn't touch the floor very clever. The outside box had not so much as a dent. Now THAT's how to ship a machine like a dehumidifier, and sure enough, the one inside was cosmetically perfect and has been working just fine for the week since it arrived.

Has worked for years. Wheels need to be stronger(plastic instead of rubber and one fell off) and a little bigger for moving it.

i unwrapped the heater, made sure it was on 0 as per instructions, started to put the plug in and there was a loud POP!, burning smell, part of the metal part of the plug melted and it was blackened. didn't even get the plug in more than a centimeter. wasn't the socket, b/c that still worked (for my air conditioner--a dedicated outlet) right after. am sending it right back! it really should be given zero stars.

Sending it back. A little bit too audible of an air flow sound for my cubicle environment. Should be fine for home use.

Hi. I bought this Boston Ceramic Space Heater, black (25962) October 13, 2012. It quit workinhg on HI about a week and a half ago. (Until then it worked very well). That's about four months of being happy with the product. I had a milk house heater type that worked very well for years. So I almost bought another one. I should have. Don't buy this Boston ceramic heater. I am exceedingly disappointed! Thanks, Richard

This is a great little heater. It is just right for my office. Kind of loud, but I loved it.

It was a little smaller than what I had anticipated, but it is perfect for my small bathroom. I don't have ventilation in the bathroom, and this heater dries out the humidity in it.

I wish Apple made thermostats, they would put products like this to shame. The display is small, has very poor illumination, uses ambiguous and messy icons, and is joined to a programming procedure that would have been good 50 years ago. Doesnt ANYONE have any creativity in the US heating industry?

Great product,it has all the information necessary for the professional installer.

The thermostat has multiple use for different HVAC units domestic or commercial.

It's pricey,too, but worth the investment.

Without more information about this unit, you are wasting your time. Will it hook up S1, S2 wires? NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION.
