Discount Shabbat Hot Plate - 17.75" x 27.75" Extra Large - Black
I use this hot plate in my print shop. It was a much cheaper option than those available at art supply stores, a good value for the price. However, it does bow up in the middle and doesn't have an adjustable thermostat. I have to unplug it when it gets to hot.

Cheap Robertshaw 9020i Remote Indoor Sensor
A previous reviewer said it senses the temperature from a remote location. I would like to add that it activates the main thermostat as well from this remote location.
I have several rentals and I use this in conjunction with the 9851i thermostat. I pay the heat. I can mount the temp sensor in an apartment, then mount the thermostat in the basement where tenants do NOT have access. I can see the temp in the apt without ever having to disturb the tenants then make adjustments from the basement accordingly.
The sensor uses cheap doorbell wire to send signal to the main thermo.
I also use three of these in a three plex, one in each apt. connected to a rotary three position switch next to the thermostat. If a particular tenant thinks its cute to leave a window open in the middle of the winter and unnecessarily trigger heat from the furnace...then I switch the switch to a different apt to another sensor of a tenant who keeps their windows closed. The offending tenant no longer triggers the furnace, but instead gets cold till they shut their darn window. And the other tenants do not burn up because the furnace is running too much from the cold air hitting it from the dummies apt....plus I save money.
Every year I get different tenants with different heat/cold sensitivities, so being able to easily switch which apt controls the furnace at any given time...is a major victory for me.
BTW... a lot of Landlords are too cheap to pay the heat. I actually make MORE money that way, as I am able to charge the higher rents associated with a heat included unit. Controlling the usage is the key!
My tenants are never cold. I keep it at a temp that everyone is happy and use dampers in the basement ducts to direct more flow to apts where the tenants are cold sensitive, and direct less to those that like it a bit colder.
Control and distribution.
14 years as a landlord with not ONE eviction. How did I get so darn lucky?Senses temperature pretty accurately and when used in conjunction with a RobertShaw programmable thermostat, it provides remote readings from a different location.

Best Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker Deals
Look...making yogurt isn't that compicated. All you need is a good starter culture, a stable and appropriate temperature and clean equipment so you get the proper cultures growing. The Salton 1-quart does a beautiful job and you can't beat the price. If you've never made your own yogurt before, this is the unit to buy. Don't spend tons of money on a piece of equipment that does nothing more than keep the milk warm for a few hours. Realize, it is much easier to just buy yogurt at the supermarket. But if you don't like keep buying little plastic containers, and if you don't mind going to just a little effort to make your own foods, you'll enjoy making yogurt. I like to use milk straight from the bulk tank at a local dairy farm and either organic Stonyfield (NH)or organic Butterworks (VT) yogurt as a starter. Homemade yogurt doesn't always have the homogenous and solid consistency of store-bought, but I've had very good results (quite comparable with commercial yogurts) with the Salton, plus I can use whatever flavorings I want from real maple syrup to my favorite jams. I even use the yogurt in place of sour cream. The possibilities with home-made yogurt are almost unlimited!
If you have kids and they gobble yogurt up by the case, this handly appliance will repay you very quickly. If they insist on cups, save and clean the plastic ones from the store, or get small containers from the housewares department. Put juice-sweetened jam or crushed fruit and honey in the bottom and make home-made treats that are less expensive and have less sugar.
Why scald the milk? If you are using fresh milk, as opposed to the ultra pasturized tetrapacks (like Parmalat) you scald the milk to kill enzymes that can prevent the yogurt from forming. Why use dry milk added? The added milk solids make a stiffer yogurt. If you are going to make smoothies and yogurt shakes, don't bother to add the dry milk.
This yogurt maker holds a quart and doesn't have the goofy single containers that other yogurt makers have. A quart is a good size for a family. This maker will serve you well.
Another nice thing is that you can throw out the silly inner container it comes with, and use a widemouth quart jar, or even a recycled quart yogurt container, to make your yogurt in, so you don't ever have to transfer it to another container.
You can make your yogurt with organic milk and at a price that is dramatically cheaper than buying it in the store (mine comes out to be 1/5 the cost of bought organic yogurt).
It also makes yogurt cheese almost affordable. Just toss your yogurt in one of those reusable coffee filters (Kmart and Target sell them) and the strained yogurt becomes very thick, a good replacement for cream cheese and sour cream, among other things. Try it in cheesecake yum!
» Place the Salton yogurt maker in a convenient but out-of-the-way location where it can run for a few days. Plug it in.
» Add one cup of nonfat dry milk powder to a gallon of skim milk and mix well. This makes the resulting yogurt thicker and more nutritious. (I've read that non-instant is better for this but haven't tried it. Any experience with this, anyone?)
» Heat milk to 185-190 degrees F, stirring frequently.
» Cool milk to 110-115 degrees F. (I usually use an ice water bath. Stir the milk frequently and monitor its temperature closely. This only takes a few minutes.)
» Stir a cup to a pint of plain nonfat yogurt with live active cultures (usually from the previous batch, sometimes from a commercial product) into the cooled milk. Whisk well.
» Decant the inoculated milk into the Salton quart container and four other clean wide mouth quart canning jars. Put the Salton container in the yogurt maker and the lidded quart canning jars in the refrigerator.
» Culture the yogurt to your preferred state of solidity and tartness. It's edible in a few hours but becomes stiffer and tarter the longer you leave it. I usually let it go 24 hours (no kidding-I like it tart!).
» When the batch is done, cool it either for several hours or overnight in the fridge or, if you're dying to eat it, more quickly in an ice water bath (no stirring!). At this point the yogurt is setting. If it gets jostled or stirred anytime before it's completely cooled its consistency will be looser and runnier.
» When you're ready to make the next batch (or immediately, to keep the ball rolling until you've processed all your quarts), put a wide mouth canning jar of inoculated milk into the yogurt maker. (I used to just take them directly from the fridge. It works, but the resulting texture of the yogurt is distinctly thicker at the bottom of the jar. Now I zap the milk on half-power in the microwave in 30-second runs, stirring between, until it's at 110-115 degrees F. It works like a charm!)
SUMMARY: The Salton YM9 has been a trouble free unit. The only improvement would be larger capacity, such as the Yogourmet machine has (though at more than twice the price). Knowing what I do, I'd buy it again.

I use this to make several quarts of yogurt a week. You can make yogurt without a specific yogurt maker, but it's a headache if you don't have an oven with digital settings that let you set the temperature very low. I never quite succeeded with any other method, but this seems to be foolproof. I plug it in, it goes on. I unplug it, it goes off. If only my vcr were this simple! So no, you're not paying for features, but features are not always useful anyway.Another nice thing is that you can throw out the silly inner container it comes with, and use a widemouth quart jar, or even a recycled quart yogurt container, to make your yogurt in, so you don't ever have to transfer it to another container.

I would love to give this nice simple little tool 5 stars, but it does have the fault of making itself a lot more complicated than it needs to be! The included yogurt container is goofy, the lid does not snap on, and the spoon is fairly useless. I just use a quart canning jar or peanut butter jar. Don't be put off by the fancy directions, its really easy. Why scald the milk, it was just pasteurized. I gently warm it up to body temperature before adding the starter. We have just put cold milk and 1/2 cup of starter in the jar, and let it warm up in the yogurt maker, but it takes a lot longer. Also, adding extra dry milk is not necessary, it just makes the yogurt a little firmer. Set yourself free from all that fussing, and enjoy some nice fresh yogurt. The basic appliance, the incubator, works great and can save you money. Our local stores do not carry good plain yogurt, so we just keep organic whole milk in the freezer and make our own.

Reviews of Whynter WC28S SNO 28 Bottle Wine Cooler, Platinum with Lock
List Price: $270.00
Sale Price: $199.99
Today's Bonus: 26% Off
Ordered this product from Amazon when it returned to stock -price for product with prime shipping (free) plus add-on overnight shipping was under $200.00. Arrived before noon the next day. A great deal.
Unpacked and set-up in family room -took 30 minutes to cool to 58 for red wine (I have a 16-bottle unit that has my whites stored). I've had the unit for four days and it's doing what it should. No sound and temperature on display verified with thermometer placed in unit for two days.
A great thing about the product is that if you would like to upgrade the look of the unit with wood shelves they are available for separate purchase on Amazon. As previous reviewer, I think it looks nice as is once the wine bottles are loaded.
Please note that the included instruction book says to level unit that all legs adjust -however, only the leg under the hinge adjusts (not really a problem).
The only "complaint" with the unit is that, like all the other units I've read about, it does not hold 28 bottles if your collection includes any pinot-size bottles. The unit has slots for the shelving at other levels which is helpful to adjust, but in the end I have taken out one shelf (half of my wines are in pinot-style bottles). I have a few small bottles that I've been able to add on top of the pinot. I would say that even with the lower capacity this is still a great deal.

We purchased the Whynter 28 bottle wine cooler to start our small mid-range collection. From what I have gathered, the no-vibration thermoelectric wine coolers are much more gentle on your wine and easily hit the required temp range. The Whynter unit appeared to be a nice looking unit and had the capacity we were looking for.We received the product in a much quicker timeframe than we expected. It was a no fuss setup and looked really high-end when we had our bottles in the unit. Couldn't be happier on the price too. Depending on where you situate the unit, it takes less than 25-30 mins to get the internal temperature to an ideal 58F for my reds. The door lock was also a nice bonus, especially with teens at home =)
Very pleased with everything about this purchase. Thanks again for a great shopping experience.

Whynter WC28S SNO 28 Bottle Wine Cooler, Platinum with LockThis is what I would call a fancy starter wine cooler. Ideal for thermoelectric enthusiast. It easily gets your wines to 10-15 degrees as preferred. Has very decent storage capacity and the shelving is removable as needed. It's not stainless steel but looks better than my previous stainless steel unit. The temperature indicator is accurate and the unit chills fast. Haven't had any need for the lock on the door but I can imagine it would be useful on occasion. It's worked just fine since for me and based on all features and price, I would recommend it.

I was a little apprehensive about this remote but it has turned out better than I expected. Works much better than the original remote that came with the fireplace logs.Best Deals on Skytech 1001 TH-A remote control
I would recommend this control / receiver unit to anyone needing a gas-log control system that is more than an "on-off" unit, which is not a good idea in that for a few more bucks one can purchase this unit which offers more than the "on-off" feature which most folks would later find is necessary / desirable.This item is a complete set of both remote control and fireplace receiver unit. I had a very expensive Skytech 5301 touchscreen which failed (the touchscreen went bonkers) after 2-1/2 years, which I initially planned to replace in kind. However, in searching for the "5301" I found it to be very costly. Upon contacting the store where the unit was purchased and installed, the saleswoman suggested I replace it with the Skytech 1001 TH-A, which cost less than half the price of the "5301" touchscreen.Quite obviously, the Skytech 5301 touchscreen unit has proven problematic based on the recommendation of the saleswoman to replace it with Skytech 1001 TH-A unit.
The vendor promptly sent this unit and thus met or exceeded my expectations. In fact, after receiving the unit and setting it up -which is very simple -I ordered a second unit for the expected failure of a second gas-log unit.
The new remote is simple to use and easily adjusted to match the existing Skytech receiver. The features include simple "on off" buttons, as well as being able to set a temperature at which the unit will shut down once the set temperature is achieved.

Johnson Digital Temperature Controller Review
Works excellent with the firm wrap for controlling wine temperature in the basement. Use plumers pudy around the probe on the outside of the carboy and wrap the carboy in hot water tank bubble wrap. Painters tape holds on the firm wrap and the pudy.

Other than being a bit pricey, this is an amazing temp control. I am sure it can be used for other things as well, but for homebrewing its a must. One of the first early upgrades a new homebrewer should make is crafting a temp controlled fermentation chamber (read: old fridge with one of these) Also, very needed when building a kegerator or Keezer.

Buy Hunter Universal 7-Day Programmable Internet Thermostat with Iphone
The company made a business decision to discontinue the product and cut off the Web interface, so they are virtually inoperable. They gave consumers one month to file a refund, purchase and install a new thermostat.
I have called their customer service number (888-830-1326 x5) multiple times over the past month and have waited over an hour on hold with no one taking my call...
I have these units installed in my winter home, which I will not be back into until sometime in October, but the service is discontinued in August. I will NEVER buy a Hunter (or any other brand they own) product because of how horrible their customer service is!
I consider this a major design flaw for a device that Hunter advertise can operate any eqquipment, including Heat Pump.
Also, the web site has glitches on the "Span" control and "Time" adjustment page.
I discovered that "Aux Heat" comes on every time the heat is on, so your heating bill will hit the roof. Definitely not a thermostat for heat pump.

Do not waste your money. I have 2 of them. One is upstairs on a heat pump and the other is downstairs on a conventional unit. They use proprietary wireless that does not work with anything else. You can't set the clock, it has to get the time from the Internet and that takes days. The schedule randomly turns itself off. The internal temperature of the house does not update. Commands from the app sometimes go through and sometimes they don't no telling. Get a Nest or a Honeywell unit.Honest reviews on Hunter Universal 7-Day Programmable Internet Thermostat with Iphone

Cheap TSM Products Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator with 10 Stainless
In my opinion, this is the best dehydrator on the market. I have one of the largest raw food websites on the internet, and two published books on raw food recipes. I am constantly using my D10 dehydrator as I have found that nothing on the market even comes close to how well this dehydrator works. And to top it off, it is made from stainless steel, not plastic, and it is quiet! I have never had a failure with this dehydrator and find it easy to dial in the temps to dehydrate with. The addition of the mesh screens and the non-stick sheets make it perfect for everything that I dehydrate.
I have friends who have companies that produce products and the TSM is the only dehydrator they will use. It is the one that I always recommend.
This dehydrator worked better than expected right out of the box. Our first batch of dried fruit was wonderful. Much better than store bought. Be sure to get a thermometer to track the temperature if you don't already have one.
The stainless steel is great: We clean the shelves easily in the dishwasher, and I don't have to worry about plastic leaching chemicals on our food.
Well worth the cost.
Now it's two years later (August 2013), and I still think it's a gem. However, it wouldn't start early this year. The seller recommended replacing all of the circuitry, but I had done a continuity check with my electrical metre (I'm Canadian we spell this word in the French fashion). As a result, I knew that the problem was the on-off switch, which wasn't available from the seller. So I went to Amazon to find a replacement I found the same switch (Amico red light boat rocker switch) for less than $4 (compared to the about $200 to replace the complete circuitry). When I spoke, again, to the tech at the selling company, he was surprised but I'm not. This switch is not particularly robust (I bought two, so that the next time I won't have any down time). Still, despite this, my experience with this dehydrator would lead me to buying it again. For the price, it's a fantastic bargain.

As a small sideline of my smoked salmon business, I've been making smoked salmon jerky & Indian candy for many years, now, using a locally built dehydrator. I wanted to shift to an all stainless steel version, and, after lots of research and indecision, settled on the 10 tray TSM dehydrator. It's a gem. It's shortened the time to jerky stage by several hours and requires much less tray turning than my previous dehydrator and a real bonus is a snap to clean up. It's also fairly quiet certainly much quieter than my previous dehydrator.Now it's two years later (August 2013), and I still think it's a gem. However, it wouldn't start early this year.

Amazon advertises this item as being with stainless steel shelves. Instead, I received model #32608 (it's clearly written on the back of the unit), which is the chrome shelves model (which is actually cheaper). Good thing I checked before starting to use it.

Summit Professional Outdoor Kegerator - Stainless Reviews
Comes complete with CO2 gauge, hoses, tap, empty CO2 bottleall you need is to fill the CO2 bottle (or swap it for a full one at your liquor store) and buy a keg. Carefully double boxed so shipping damage is unlikely, mine arrived in pristine condition. Slightly misaligned screw holes made installing the tap tower and guard rail difficult. Comes with two wire shelves if you go on the wagon and want to turn it into a refrigerator. Great, sturdy looking unit all around and the motor runs very quiet. The label on the rear panel displays "Assembled in USA" but take that panel off and the inside label says Made in China. I feel like a fossil that I can remember when stuff was made in the US.
I've been using it for 6 months and the only problem I've had is the frost buildup around the thermostat sensor. The ice buildup seems to throw off the thermostat and my beer was pouring in the low 40's. A ten minute defrosting with a hair dryer brought my beer back down around 35F but still a bit of a hassle. Despite what the product description might say this unit does not have an auto defrost so when you're looking at other kegerators make sure it has an active heating defrost element. To be fair, I use a swamp cooler and the extra humidity could be to blame for the excessive frost and this might not be an issue for you.There are many kegerator brands out there...purchase something other then Summit especially via AJ Madison. I received my kegerator October 2, it's still not working due to missing parts.
