Skytech 3301PF Fireplace Remote with Thermostat and Fan Control Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I needed to replace an old wireless remote for my gas fireplace so I went to dealer where I purchased the product and had it installed. They were really no help in getting a replacement, so I went on line and found Amazon had a lot of choices. I was surprised at all the options Skytech offered and at a reasonable price. I actually improved the performance over my old wireless remote and installed the replacement remote in about 30 minutes.

Commercial Convection Oven - Cadco - Quarter Size Pan Capacity Reviews

Customer Ratings:

After having bought and thrown away three home duty convection ovens in disgust in the course of about 7 years, (two Delonghi ovens and one other) and spending almost $200 on each one, I decided to spring for a real commercial duty Sodir 1/4 size convection oven. It's made in France (not China, thank you)

and is built like a tank. Be aware that it is all mechanical. The timer is a ticking, mechanical-dial type, and there is only one other control...for the temp. There is no light (no problem!) and no exposed coils. The fan is powerful, and circulates the air very well. I have been using mine almost every night for 5 years, and it works like a charm. There is no broil function, but the oven heats to 475F, and browns food quickly. It's great for baking or cooking. I don't fry anymore since I bought this oven.

You won't find this oven in a department store. It's truly for commercial duty, and built for it!

I bought this heater last fall and it worked fine throughout the winter. Kept the family room comfortable.

Heater worked fine first year of ownership. Pulled it out the closet this fall and saw little wisps of smoke coming out. I figured it was just dust burning off, but after a few minutes a saw and heard some pretty big sparks coming from it. Luckily I turned it off before it caught fire like some of the other unfortunate reviewers here!!!

Buy Rival Hot Pot Express

Customer Ratings:

I've had this electric kettle for several years, specifically for the use of boiling water for tea. It has very basic functions warm or boil just add your water to the desired measuring line marked on the inside of the unit, plug it in and wait. The construction is sturdy and well-made. I think it's a great product for what I use it for. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a light to show you that it's on or an auto-off feature. If you forget to unplug it, the unit stays hot which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Other than that, I highly recommend this product.

Perhaps you had a faulty item, bulmabriefs144? I had the fortune of having a friend with this particular teapot during my first semester at school, and am now quite happy to have one of my own. I have found that it does indeed heat the maximum volume of water at a higher speed than a microwave, and is ideal for making things like pot noodles and cup soups.

I've never tried it with leftovers, but if you wish to boil water, this inexpensive teapot is more than worth the scant few dollars you pay for it. The design could be more attractive, but over all this is a functional product.

I must say that for the price, this is a very versatile item. I actually figured out how to cook spagetti in it. First you boil the water, then put in the pasta. Set it to the warm knob until tender. And you can also heat up your sauce. A real lifesaver on weekends when the university cafeteria was closed =-). I was really sad when it stopped working, but it lasted me through my first year, until I moved out of the dorms.

Honest reviews on Rival Hot Pot Express

My 90-year-old dad has this pot, and I'm getting him a different one, ASAP! The lid falls off when the pot is tipped up to pour out the last of the water, which is certainly a hazard. Holding the lid on isn't advisable, either, because it heats up along with the water, and becomes too hot to touch. Worse, even with the lid on "securely", steam excapes and burns your hand as you pour. Add to that the health concerns about ingesting anything cooked or heated in plastic. My recommendation: Stay away from this one!

I was making a cup of tea this morning to soothe my sore throat during these winter months, and I had a sudden revelation: I have had this hot pot for over ten years now, and it has never failed me. I often look at product reviews for items before I buy them, and I'm usually skeptical because one never knows how long a reviewer has had the product. "Sure it's cheap, but how long will it last me?" I often think. I felt compelled to share my wonderful experience with this basic item.

I purchased it in August of 1999 before going to college. It served me well on many drunken nights of making cup of noodle, ramen, and the like. I used it purely to boil water, and also to cook the ramen in the hot pot itself. As the only Brit in my dorm, it was also a great way for me to make tea without having to trudge over to the dining hall. Since then it has moved 4 or 5 times with me, never getting damaged. It's tough. I still use it for ramen when I need a quick food fix, I use it several times a week to make tea, or if I'm boiling water for jello.

It heats water quickly (I turn it on while making lunch for work, and it's ready in a few minutes), the lid clips on nicely, it's easy to clean. I honestly can't think of any complaints I have with this item, and for the $10 or so that I paid for it back in the day, I struggle to think of any other cheap, basic item that I've had this much success with.

First of all, it does work quite well for a portable unit. None of these will work as good as a window unit, but we need to cool an internal office with no windows. We have bought smaller of the same brand before and had mixed luck, so this time we luckily bought an extended warranty. Like other people mentioned, they cost more to repair than replace. The extended warranty company is just going to send us a new one.

It seems with this brand if you make it past the 2 year mark, they keep going. I'd highly recommend some type of extended warranty.

READ UPDATE BELOW ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

This unit was a good unit for us. We were really happy with it. It seem to work good, cool good, have all the parts we need, etc. We bought it in 9/2011 and it helped lower the heat in the server room we have.

We purchased it because we have a room with a few servers and wanted to cool it down. We had to put it on its own breaker because with the servers and hardware sometime it would trip the switch which was fine.

So as good as it seem to be we never thought we would be writting this review. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!!!

WHY YOU ASK, after their one year service agreement expired, our unit started to act up. Not blowing out cold air. Well they would not help because it was out of warranty, ok I understand that. They said just contact your local AC repair company and have them come fix it. No problem, just like if we need our house unit repaired. Then as we call around we find that NO ONE SEEMS to repair these units. This company does not have any agreements with anyone to repair them. You can not find anyone who is willing to come repair them. At almost $1000, i figured someone out there must repair these things. My team has been calling and searching for a few days and when I ask the company again here is their reply:

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

Hello,

Thanks for contacting EdgeStar. In response to your inquiry:

You can contact EdgeStar Support to obtain a Return Authorization to send the unit to the EdgeStar Authorized Repair facility, and you would incur all costs of shipping to and from the repair facility, cost of packaging the item properly, and the cost of parts and labor.

Please contact us at 1-866-319-5473 to set that up.

Regards,

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

SO imagine how this will work, your server room or what ever you are keeping cool, you now have to send your AC unit back to them. Pack it up, ship it off and hope you get it back in a few weeks. OH and pay for the cost, which who knows what that might be. It might be the price of a NEW unit.

DO NOT DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!! I understand warranties but how do they sell something that can not be repaired when THEY say have your local repair person repair it.

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

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Got the unit back after a couple of weeks from EdgeStar. Had it less then one month and it BROKE AGAIN, not a different problem but the same problem. You would think paying $300+ for the repair, and over $70 for shipping and handling (almost HALF the price of a new unit) you would get something back that worked.

SO How did this go, well called them and they were so SHOCKED it broke again. They wanted us to ship it back to them again!. This time they would pick up the shipping and repair and not cost anything. Of course, they never fixed it right the first time. They made it sound like they were doing ME a favor. I paid to get it repaired, I shipped it to them, I waited for them to get it done and they could not GET IT right. Just tells you how bad this company is.

SO I go to send it and they ONLY use fedX, and FEDX does not ship these from all their location and THEY WILL NOT BOX IT UP. UPS, they take care of you, boxing, shipping, handling everything. But FEDX, (The walmart of LOW COST shipping), wants you to do it all. You think the company cares NO! That is your issue and your cost and THEY DO NOT SUPPORT ANYONE other then FEDX. As the manager put it to me "We are looking for the lowest cost to use and FEDX has the lowest cost for us" EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't care about your customers! CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, BAD customer support, LOW COST SHIPPING, BAD PRODUCT, and a "WE DON'T CARE AOUT YOU" attitude. This all from the Managment Level of this company.

What is wrong with us American, we should NEVER buy from companies like this! Companies like this should go away!

RUN FROM THEM!

We measured out our room, took into account how many servers we had, and figured we needed about 12000 btu of cooling. Surely, a 14000 BTU unit would work. Well, it does work to a degree. I guess it is keeping the temperature from skyrocketing, but it runs all the time, never turns off, and temp climbs during the day. I am not sure this unit puts our as much cooling as it claims too. We are purchasing a 9000 BUT unit to help supplement the cooling in our server room.

Reviews of Room-to-Room Fan - Circulate Cold or Warm Air from Room to Room

List Price: $83.65

Athought this fan is an 8" fan it is larger than I thought it would be. The fan blades are 8" but the baffle is 10". The hole has to be just over 10" for it to fit. For some, making a 10" hole in your wall may put you off.

This fan is wonderful. It has a high and low volumn. The low moves plenty of air and it is very quite on low OR high.

It has aa attached power cord, however we were able to hard wire it to a power line within the wall so we don't have a cord hanging. With little electrical knowlege this is easy. Other than cutting the hole in the right place so as not to hit a stud, it was very easy to install.

We use it to move the hot air from a room with a wood stove to a large kitchen area. It makes a drastic difference in temperature after running for a short time. We used a coner door frame fan prior to installing this. The old fan made almost no difference in temp and it was very loud. Again, even on high this fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air.

I bought this to move warm air from our LR to the rest of the when the woodstove is going. It gets too hot in the room and this does help. It's not the perfect solution, but it was cheaper than putting another doorway in just yet. It does require cutting a hole in the wall (obviously) so if you're not handy, keep that in mind. It's much quieter than the doorway fan we have. I'd recommend it.

We purchased this fan about 5 months ago and its working fine. I needed to get extra ventilation into a utility room. This fan moves alot of air even on the low speed. Installation was easy enough, I completed the job in about 30 minutes. The fan is a little noisy though. This is not an issue in a utility room (about the sone noise of a mid priced bathroom exhaust fan) but if it was in a room that you want quite it may be a little bothersom. Keep in mind if you are venting into a closed room you may want to put a another vent (passive) in the room so that the air can circulate back out of the room. This fan is also larger in diameter that what it appears on line so I would recomend that you take the time to mark how much space this will use on your wall before ordering.

Honest reviews on Room-to-Room Fan - Circulate Cold or Warm Air from Room to Room

I bought this on May 8th 2012 for $59.96 including ship.

Our situation: We live in a double-wide mobile home with eight foot ceilings everywhere except the great room/living room--its cathedral ceiling is a couple feet taller. From the day we moved in we've hated that room and wondered how much it would cost to convert it to a lower ceiling.

NO NEED, PROBLEM SOLVED WITH THIS FAN!! The worst thing about a situation like ours (mobile home with silly cathedral ceilings) is not just the heat in the great room, but how all the other rooms have to be freezing in the summer just to make it breathable in the great room. (Plus the thermostat is located in the great room)

We tried everything over the years--sitting box fans in the cold parts of the house and trying to suck/blow the cool air over into the hot room--running the ceiling fan in the hot room constantly and not letting the hot air build up--or doing the opposite, not running the ceiling fan and just letting it build up and stay there. We tried various things, nothing with much success.

Last year we installed two additional register vents in the "great hot room" hoping that would not only add cool air to the room via the air conditioner, but maybe because of the additional registers blowing in the hot room, the registers in the cold rooms wouldn't blow quite so hard. It helped, but I still had to close off one of the registers in a bedroom as it continued to freeze the people in that room during air conditioning months. The extra vents helped, but the great room continued to be noticeably warmer than the rest of the house.

And this year I started thinking about a through the wall fan. After reading the reviews here on Amazon, and seeing most people were using the fan to get the heat from rooms with a wood burning stove to disperse to other parts of their house--I thought, I've got a wood burning stove in my ceiling, yessiree. And I want that heat out of there--and the room right next door is always freezing--so let's suck it out of the hot room and into the cold room!

I decided if I could "tell even a little bit of difference" I'd buy a second fan. We cut the hole in the wall, for the fan, a few inches down from the ceiling on the cold room's side, therefore it is about 20 inches or so down the wall on the side with the cathedral ceiling. We've had it for over a couple of weeks now, and I'm still feeling giddy. I walk back and forth between the two sides, grinning like an idiot. You'd think I invented something that was going to make me rich the way I brag about it to everyone! There is absolutely NO REASON to buy a second fan. For the first time in ten years, the house's temperature is balanced throughout!

Got one of these today. Thot the other guys that had this problem were just unlucky, and decided to trust the Honeywell name. Boy, was I wrong. SureSet, my foot. The thermostat in this device does indeed seem to be measuring the temperature of the unit itself, although not the actual element, maybe the heated plastic body. I do not recommend that anyone buys this heater if they want to use the automatic mode. It functions well in the high and low constant heating mode. I have a lasko 5365 heater as well, that works well in all modes.

Update: Lasko 5365 is displaying same odd thermostat behaviour, I am beginning to think this behaviour is a product of the environment where the heater is used, and not just poor manufacturer design.

Update 2: Confirmed that 5365 thermostat works fine if heater placed in middle of open space to be heated as opposed to against a wall. HZ-338 thermostat performance doesn't seem to improve when in open area.

I purchased a white version of this heater elsewhere about a month ago. I love it. It is in my daughter's bedroom, which tends to be colder than the rest of the house.

At night, I turn it on to the low setting, set the temperature, set the timer, and it does the rest. It isn't as loud as my older heater that it is replacing, and I don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off in the morning.

I have since purchased a second one for my bedroom.

I have not had any of the problems the other reviewer mentioned.

The thermometer of this heater is completely messed up. It does not measure the room temperature, but the temperature of the air that has just been heated up. In other words, if your room temperature is 60 degrees and you program it to heat up the room to 70 degrees it will do so (according to the thermometer reading) in less 2 minutes and stop. If you do not use this functionality, but instead let the heater run for some time (5-10 minutes) the thermometer will want to make you believe that the room temperature has gone up to 90 degrees. The thermometer is probably in the wrong location. Did Honeywell do any kind of testing before putting this model on the market ?!

Honest reviews on Honeywell Sure-Set Ceramic Heater with Oscillation, HZ-338

Ditto the other's observations... The thermostat seems to register the temperature of the unit itself rather than the room... I had the thing in a 63 degree room, had it set to 85 degrees. It would register 90 after 30 seconds of running, turn off, slowly ramp back down to 84 degrees over a 2 minute time period, and then repeat. The temperature of the room never got above 64 degrees....

Sunbeam Ceramic Heater Review

Customer Ratings:

Bought at Walmart for $30 in February as a little heater to warm up my wife's craft room since its a back bedroom and we only open to receive heat from the rest of the house when she is working in it. However, I will be taking this heater back. The heater is a handsome little unit: 10" tall, 14" wide, and 8" deep. It sits on a 7"x9" base that makes the unit very stable and resistant to tipping over from accidental bumping. The base allows 360 degree rotation and about 15 degree tilting. The heater's operating modes (per the manual) are: Fan Only, Low Heat ("if applicable..." said the manual. This unit did have Low Heat mode.),Eco-Smart, Max Heat, and Thermostat Control. Max Heat runs continuously at 1500 watts. Low Heat (if it were available) would run continuously at 750 watts. Eco-Smart "cycles between High Heat (1500 watts) and Low Heat (750 watts) settings...". Thermostat Control only has four room-temperature settings: 70, 75, 80, and 85 degrees. The extreem left of the thermostat scale has a "Frost Protect" setting (thermostat control set for 40 degrees). The extreem right of the thermostat scale is "Constant On". While the front of the heater presents a good sized 8"x14" grill, it is for looks only the actual heat producing opening is only 2"x6". The remainder of the area behind the grill is just black plastic. When the heater is on and at 6" from the front of the heater, you feel VERY hot air at 18" from the front you feel no hot air. This is my first point about the poor functionality of this unit: the output of the internal fan is so pathetic that it can barely produce enough of a wheeze of air to get the heat only a few inches out of the heater and then (hot air rising) goes straight to the ceiling. Perhaps this is a general trait of all ceramic heaters: they can produce very hot air without using red-hot (read: accidental ignition source) heat elements; however, they cannot support large volumes of air being passed through them. Here is my second point on the poor functionality of this heater: Although the box advertises: "High/Low Heat Settings" the low setting is not actually selectable. The unit seems to run at a high heat output all the time I did not discern any "cycling" between a high and low heat output in the lame "Eco-Smart" mode. The third point is the thermostat control: only four choices: 70,75,80, and 85 nothing inbetween and nothing below 70 degrees room temp is available, and it seems to operate at max heat when in thermostat mode. Dear Sunbeam, What I wanted to know about a heater is: the heat wattage of the settings, the operating range of the thermostat, and can the low heat only setting be selected for thermostat control. You're packaging told me absouluty nothing about the details and specifications of a heater that are actually important. Oh, by the way, people are tired of, and turned off, by manufacturers who trot out the same mediocre, half-hearted designed products but think that by putting a green leaf on the box and use the word "eco-" that consumers will think that the products received an improvement of some sort.

This heater is a great idea, and the functions work great. It is one of the best space heaters I have owned with one major exception.

There are 3 wires leading to the heating elements 2 red and 1 black in the middle.The black wire in the middle had been hot and melted the plastic cover on the wires and had burnt in two.I have pictures but cant upload them here.Just another Chinese piece of DANGEROUS JUNK.

We've had this about a year. Have not had any issues and we use it every day; placed near where we sit. However, when used in a bedroom sized space (our office) and keeping the door closed, it heats up the area quite nicely and soon we turn it off when it reaches a heated comfort level for us. However, due to reviews about a burned wire, I will be more careful in how long I let it run and I do always turn it off and unplug it when I leave the space.

I purchased this product to heat my 24x24 (7'6" ceiling) garage under my house. During the coldest periods where I live (Western Connecticut) the garage gets down to the low 40s.

After installing the heater and powering it up, in about 10 minutes the chill is gone from the space. After about an hour the space is very comfortable (about 62 degrees an increase of about 15 degrees from when it was turned on). By the end of the second hour the space warmed to 68 degrees. The built in thermostat turned down to about 3/4 maximum maintains that temperature.

The unit's internal fan is a little bit noisy, but since the unit is intended for a garage/workshop the fan noise is in my opinion not a big deal.

The unit is very well made and easy to install. After installing a 220 Volt 20A single circuit receptacle, I hung the unit in the center of the room from the ceiling about 4 feet from the rear wall of the garage. The bracket that came with the unit is very sturdy and will accommodate several differnt mounting options.

If you had a bigger space or an uninsulated detached garage, a larger unit with more capacity will be needed (5000 watts or more), however for a single car garage or a well insulated two car garage this unit is an excellent value.

I have a 24x24 garage with 10 feet ceilings. I did exactly as the last review did, mount it on the ceiling about four feet off the wall. Don't expect this to heat your space quickly. It works quite slowly and you can't really notice the heat, which I think is great. I turned it on at 4am in the morning and the garage temp was 40 degrees. After about 15 minutes, temp was up to 43 degrees. In about an hour it was up to 52 degrees and after 90 minutes it was up to 60 degrees. This unit is quality built and extremely quiet. It lacks the bell and whistle but is very inexpensive compared to other units. It only requires 240 volts and 20 amp breakers, all standard in the home. ( the other heaters require 30 amp breaker which requires more cost). it also come with a cord which save you another $40 over the other models. I highly recommended this unit as it compares well with the 5000 watt units with out all the extra cost. Plus if you want it to heat up a small area in the garage a little quicker then go buy a $40 floor heater and you will have the best of both worlds. Enjoy !

Installation was very simply and it does the job of warming up my garage. However......

It's only been in use for about 2 months and the built-in thermostat sticks so the heater doesn't shut off at it's preset temperature!!! It just stays on full heat!!! This could be a hazard!

Instead of going through the headache of sending it back for warranty service, I'm just going to buy a programmable thermostat rated for this unit and controlling it that way.

I would not buy this product again due to the thermostat problem. The built-in thermostat is very cheaply made aparently. Quality should be paramount due to the type of unit that it's in. I should have looked for a unit made in the USA. This unit is, like most everything else, made in CHINA.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DGWH4031 4000-Watt Garage/Workshop Heater

I had been shopping for an affordable garage heater for some time, and I decided that this heater fit the bill.

Although I was confused by the substitution, I was happy with the price difference and once the heater arrived, I was unable to find any differences between the Oullet model I received and this Dimplex model that I ordered, other than the color. The pictures and specs all appear to be exactly the same. Since it's in my garage and being a Buckeye fan I like anything scarlet, I was happy with the red color and decided to keep and install the heater.

Most reviews I've read on both models complain about the noise level. Well, when I removed the heater from the box it came in, I blew on the fan to see if it rattled or anything, and noticed that one of the blades clipped the electric motor while turning. I simply removed the metal cage, bent the offending blade ever so slightly so it no longer contacted the motor, and re-installed the cage. Easy, but definitely something worth checking before you install it.

This heater requires a 220v outlet (see pictures of what the plug looks like) and since I did not have one in my garage already, I had to install one which I'd never done before. I needed 50 feet of wire, a dual pole 20 amp breaker, various pieces of conduit, a receptacle and a couple of junction boxes. I got pretty fancy with the receptacle (added a weatherproof plate over the receptacle, etc) and total cost to wire up the new outlet was about $70. You can certainly do it cheaper than I did, but be advised if you need a 220v outlet, it will add to the cost of installing this heater.

I hung the heater on the wall using the included bracket, but it came with no screws to attach it to the wall. I went to the hardware store and bought two lag screws, and screwed it right into a stud. VERY sturdy installation, I could probably hang on the bracket if I wanted to.

This heater really pushes a ton of warm air. It is a bit noisy, but the fan blows really hard so I can't really see how it could be any quieter and push as much air as it does. It has a nice dial-type thermostat on the back. It doesn't have a certain temperature that you can set it to, but you can just turn it on until it's as warm as you want it in the garage, then twist the dial until it clicks off. Then, it will click back on and regulate the temperature.

I haven't tested it yet on a really cold day to see how long it takes to raise the temp, but I can tell you that with as much air as it moves, I'm confident it will work great. I'll update this review once I try it in really cold weather.

Overall, I'm very satisfied, but just be advised, if the price drops about $50 and the heater ships from Northern Tool, there's a good chance you'll receive the red Oullet model. But it's a great heater and you'll save $50, so for me it was a win-win!

Pleasantly surprised by this heater. I was in the midst of finishing my detached oversize two car garage and the heater choice was on my to-do list. I was going to require about 16000 BTU with standard insulation in my climate (Syracuse NY), which would equate to about 4800-5000W electric heater. Since I was over insulating the garage walls (R17 walls, R40 ceiling), I was confident I could get away with a slightly smaller unit the 4000W Dimplex. If needed I can supplement in a local area of the garage with a small 1500W space heater that I already had.

Installation was straight forward, since I was putting in all new electrical circuits in the garage anyway, it was easy enough to add the dedicated 240V circuit for this Dimplex unit. My unit required a NEMA 6-20 recepticle.

I started using the Dimplex unit with only some of the walls insulated, and was pleased that I could get a 10degF increase in room temperature in about 60-70 minutes even with the outside temp being 22-25 (starting temp in unfinished garage around 32degF).

I do not anticipate a large impact on my electric bill. I pay $0.05 (5 cents) for 1 kWhour. This ia 4kW heater, so for one hour of run time I pay $0.20 (20 cents). The heater will likely get used for about two hours a day ($0.40), for a total of about $12 a month.

Why only four stars? Well my only complaint about the heater is that it doesn't have a built in fan delay. When the unit kicks on, it powers the heating element and fan right away. So the fan is blowing cold air over a heating element that isn't up to temperature yet. This is a very small annoyance and a small inefficiency of the heater. The heater does have a shut down delay on the fan, it will keep the fan blowing over the hot element when the thermostat kicks the element off. This extracts and distributes the remaining residual heat from the element. Still the start up fan delay would have been nice.

This would be a five star review if the description were accurate.

The description says it has a thermostat. There is none. It simply has Low and High, and you can get some variations in between. It does not regulate itself to maintain a desired temperature, as would be indicated by the description "thermostat".

To be honest, though... Based on the price, I pretty much figured that it would not have one, and it does what I expected it to do.

I think the description should be amended.

I am ordering the much more expensive 20k and 30k versions of this heater. I expect they will actually have a thermostat... hopefully.

Best constructed, best control knob system, best set of legs, best heat transfer.

I hooked it up at one end of a small apartment and it transferred the heat easily through-out the apartment even to a shower room just off the hallway.

I purchased this heater for a rental unit on the back of my house on hopes of reducing the electric bill. The blue flame option was what I needed since the space is limited and I dont want my tenant to complain about his furniture getting too hot or even himself by standing on front of it. Installation was kind of easy, I like the fact that it comes with expansors, and required screws, the only tricky part was to reach the back wall panel on the bottom to secure it to the wall.

Settings are low or hi, my tenant says that it works great and he is just not trying to find a happy point. Will be updating rating as I heard more from him.

Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black Review

Customer Ratings:

I'm fond of some of the 'thicker' smokier coffees. Mocha Matari (while difficult to find) is among my favorites. Normal drip pots (including some expensive ones) don't provide the complexity of flavor I enjoy. (I suspect the water is too hot, the brewing cycle is too long, and the coffee is over-extracted.)

One of my daughters is a coffee fanatic. She brought me some Ethopian coffee that she insisted I just had to try. So I ground it up, brewed it with the Bunn, and tasted it. The coffee was great. But my daughter's comments were revealing. "This tastes so good at home, but so much better here. My birthday is coming up -I know what I want for a gift."

And that's basically what it comes down to. Even supermarket "100% Columbian" coffee tastes pretty good, better than it has any right to taste.

There are a couple of down-sides, though. It keeps the water hot all the time, and that means that the water evaporates over time. Get accustomed to brewing a pot a day, and if you brew two pots in a row, you'll get more water than you expect and the coffee will be thin. Go away for the weekend, and you'll have less water than you expected when you return. Also, the brewing does not over-extract the coffee compared to most other brewing machines, and that means that to get the strength of coffee you want, you'll probably want to use about 20% more coffee than what you're accustomed to. Also, the quick extraction seems to brew the coffee with less caffeine, so if coffee is something you use to get started after not enough sleep, and not something to savor, this may not be for you.

But what you get in return is something that doesn't just open your eyes, but that tastes better than you probably thought was possible. For my money, there is no second choice.

Also -stock up on the Bunn filter papers. They're deeper, and that's necessary to keep grounds from overflowing. The quick brew cycle means that there's more water in with the coffee than with typical coffee brewers, and standard filters can't contain all that water.

I've never reviewed an Amazon item before, but will give it a shot because this coffee-maker is so great.

I do a lot of research before buying any home products, including televisions, audio equipment, and even my toaster. I typically drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and 1-2 cups in the evening. I was looking for a coffee maker that recreated the coffee-house experience, as most home brewers do not taste as good as a fresh cup from an industrial brewer.

After much thought and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Bunn NHB despite complaints of weak flavor, cool coffee, and a higher price than most brewers given the relative paucity of features.

After about 5 months, I love it. My girlfriend loves it. We can't drink coffee from other home brewing machines now. We use Peet's Coffee Major Dickason blend primarily. It is true that you need more grounds for this machine. I use about 2/3 to 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup as labeled on the side of the decanter. Realize that it takes about 2 "cups" by this scale to fill a regular coffee mug. This machine brews quickly without over-extraction, so you trade grounds economy for flavor essentially.

As far as coffee heat, 200 degrees is hot enough for me, which the Bunn is preset to brew at. 12 degrees hotter and you have steam, right? The warming plate works well and cleans up easily, made of ceramic and not metal. Keep in mind that after more than 20 minutes on the plate, the coffee will start to taste bitter. So if you're the type to milk a pot for an hour or so, the stainless steel insulated one may be for you. Since I drink two mugs worth myself, the 3-4 tablespoon for 4 cup ratio is great for me. I wouldn't brew less than this at any given time, as the machine seems to have trouble brewing smaller volumes accurately. To reiterate another frequently addressed point, if you brew less than 2x per week, add more water than you anticipate to need, as evaporation of preheated water will occur. More than a week on vacation, and you should use the vacation mode switch discussed in other reviews.

A typical problem for some folks is overflow. I have not experienced this as long as I use the taller Bunn brand filters, using up to 8 tablespoons of grounds with the high-flow 3-minute brewing spray-head. The filters cost more than regular filters, but over a year this equals one frappacino, so I got over it.

An added perk is that you have an instant hot water source. I like to switch it up sometimes and have French press coffee. Of course you need a coarser grind for this, but you just pour the requisite amount of water in the top of this machine, and within a minute or two there's perfect temperature/volume water. I've even made a cup-o-noodles successfully, for you college folks living in a dorm who stay up all night.

One more reminder. There is no "on" or "make coffee" switch or button. When you slide open the top of the machine, you are committed. The instant you close the lid, hot water starts flowing. Never close the lid without both the filter holder and pot in place. By the way, clean-up is a breeze. I love the removable filter holder; just dump grounds plus filter in the trash without dripping on your kitchen floor. The whole thing cleans easily, and the black color doesn't show brown stains after long-time use.

Overall, a great machine if you want a great-tasting pot of coffee fast and you're willing to spend a little extra for it.

I never take the time to write reviews, but this Coffee Maker deserves it!

I have purchased every high-end coffe maker out there over the past few years, and every one had issues of one kind or another.

This product is fantastic! Simple, with no bells and whistles. Just a great tasting cup of coffee in lightning time.

And it looks like it should last years with no problem.

Honest reviews on Bunn NHB Professional Home Brewer, Black

Everything about this coffee maker should be excellent. It brews extraordinarily fast and it brews the most consistent cup of coffee I've ever had. All good, right?

Well, that's the problem with this coffee maker: is that it makes the exact same cup of coffee every time, just like the Bunn's I use in my restaurant background. So if you want a really strong cup of coffee, forget it. In fact regardless of how much you vary from your grind or amount, the coffee tastes exactly the same in 3 minutes. (which, frankly is amazing).

So this coffee maker is for a person who wants a medium, no-fuss cup of coffee. If you're looking for coffee with a lot of body and strength, I'd suggest another model.

PS. the 3 minute brew time is amazing.

I like this machine. It keeps the next pot of coffee water hot using a low power heater in the tank in waiting for you to start the next brew cycle. The coffee basket is so easy to access, the basket filters are easy to fill (unlike some cone or swivel baskets) and easy to empty. I just pour in the new water (I do 5 cups at a time), put the carafe in place and activate the warmer plate ... in less than 2 minutes the coffee is completely done. Bunn's customer service is excellent, I called for a restricter to slow down the coffee brewer so I can get a stronger result and it arrived within a few days no questions asked.

One more thing, this machine makes coffee well, that's it. It doesn't beep at you, it doesn't tell the time, it doesn't need a programming guide, it just makes coffee. That's all I want from my coffee maker!
