I bought this for a baseboard electric heater because I didn't want to go to the trouble of mounting and wiring a thermostat in the wall. The first disadvantage is that you have to get down on floor with a flashlight to set and program it. The second disadvantage is that whatever temperature you set it is not what the room will be because it is mounted on the heater. When the heater comes on it warms the thermostat much sooner than the room and cuts the heater off. So to make it work you have to set it much higher than you want the room to be and then come back and reset it after the room has warmed up.

One of the reasons I purchased this was that the on/off rocker switch would be a nice replacement for the old knob thermostat, which half the time ended up getting turned in the wrong direction so that the heater was left on at the highest setting when the intention had been to turn it off.

Unfortunately, switching the switch to off completely resets the program, including the time of day! That's right, flipping the switch on the bottom of this uint to off will completely erase the entire schedule that you've tediously programmed into it, using its paltry three buttons while sitting on the floor.

Also, this unit is a very poor fit for the Cadet baseboard heater that I purchased at the same time. And the electronics in this thing probably cost about a nickel to manufacture. This thing is horribly overpriced garbage.

Do not buy!

If you have electric baseboard heat and want a digital programmable setback thermostat -and you do, because it will make your rooms more comfortable and save you money -but you don't want to wire in a regular thermostat on the far side of the room, this on-the-baseboard thermostat is the one for you.

It only fits Cadet Series F baseboards, so you'll probably end up replacing the one you have now.

Installation is the same as for any on-the-baseboard thermostat (have an electrician do it if you're not familiar with household wiring). Programming is pretty easy. The thermostat's temperature regulation is much better than I expected. I thought the heater would heat up the sensor and mess it up, but the sensor is right at the bottom, and the way convection works is that hot air exits the top of the unit, which draws cold air in at the bottom, and putting the sensor at the bottom of the thermostat assembly does the trick.

The only issues are:

1. Power outages (including a blink of about a second) cause the unit to lose track of what time it is. It still remembers its heating program, though.

2. If you have furniture in front of your baseboard heaters, getting at the thermostat can be a nuisance.

The 3405A cadet digital thermostat is eons ahead of the old bimetal cadet switch it replaced! Don't hesitate to replace yours. The new digital thermostat is way more accurate and so it does not over-shoot and under-shoot the temperature. This thermostat will provide you with an even room temperature. Say good bye to the thermal swings... it is just right!

These aren't a fix all. No they wont read as accurate as a wall thermostat there lower to the floor. Yes it will take a little more work setting it. But its still better than a twist to set thermostat.Dont install it yourself, Most of you wont BEABLE TO MAKE IT WORK. Hire electrician.

They dont fit all baseboard heaters..

Honeywell T87K1007 Heat Only Thermostat Review

Since its introduction in 1953, Honeywell has reportedly sold more than 58 million of these T-86 round thermostats. That's an amazing number. And there's a reason they're so popular: They work, they're simple and they'll last a long time.

In Summer 2007, we had a new heat pump installed in our old house and the dealer wanted to put in a programmable digital thermostat. I loathe digital thermostats for a whole host of reasons but in this case, I didn't want a beige, chincey-looking plastic box hanging on the wall in my beautiful upstairs hallway. The dealer brought out a couple of these T-86 thermostats and I opted for the white (as shown here).

Many of these modern T-86 thermostats (unlike prior models) contain no mercury. Another nice feature is the trim ring, which is very forgiving for installing into existing buildings (where cutting into walls is required).

You can probably buy a knock-off product for less, but speaking as someone with a background in architecture, I'd stick with Honeywell. They've been making thermostats since the 1880s when they started with the "Damper Flapper," a primitive switch-type mechanism designed for coal-fired furnaces that used a motor to open and shut the damper.

In my downstairs foyer, I have one of the 1930s Honeywell Thermostats, complete with its solid brass housing and the words "Minneapolis-Honeywell" on its front. More than 70 years old and it's still a dandy!

I highly recommend this contemporary T-86 Honeywell Round. It's been an industry standard for more than five decades. And the best news? The most recent information I could find shows that this product is "Made in America".

One final note: The thermostat shown here is heat only. For a few dollars more, you can get heat and air. If you do that, you can hook up the air conditioning side *when* you get the a/c installed.

I bought this blanket to replace an old Sunbeam one that I had used for years. I have used the new beautiful eggplant blanket everyday for two months. No problem with the heat control, I am always cold and I usually start out with it on high for about 30 minutes and end up leaving it on the medium setting. I absolutly love these heated throws it's the perfect solution for staying warm while sitting at the computer or watching tv. The eggplant is a medium purple shade, blanket is pretty stiff right out of the package but within a few uses it is nice and soft.

Danby Designer 50 Bottle Wine Cooler Reviews

Works perfectly and holds temp perfectly. I've never had a better wine fridge. I have tested it with my digital thermometer, and it's off by one degree. Not sure which is off, but that is close enough!

I bought the Danby wine cooler Model DWC508BLS on positive reviews that I had read. Those reviews did not match my experience with this cooler. The cooler looks good in pictures but that is about it. Build quality is not what I expected. The location of the door handle is qirky and requires more effort to open...I suppose the manufacturer did this to allow for hinge change so that the door swing can be changed left or right..I would have prefered extra holes to move the handle. The wire racks are made from thin wire and are poorly supported on ridges molded into the thin plastic interior. The bottom rack sits loosely on the cooler floor and is not retained at all ! I would not recommend storing bottles on the bottom wire rack as attempting to pull out the rack to access a bottle will send bottles crashing to the floor! Bottle shapes vary widley, however even following Danby's shelf loading instructions 50 bottle storage isn't realistic..30 to 35 bottles perhaps. Last, this unit generates a LOT of noise. The compressor is about what I expect for a small refrigeration unit, however there is also a noisey internal fan that runs 15 seconds ON, 10 seconds OFF, then repeats.. 24 hr X 7 ! This fan has become even louder in just the few days the unit has been plugged in. My cooler is installed under-counter between two cabinets in a pantry just off the kitchen and I still need to keep the pantry door closed to block the annoying noise of the cycling fan from entering adjacent rooms. I have a call into Danby customer service to determine if this is a defect or is by design..my bet is that it is by design. I'm also checking the return policy. If I'm stuck with this unit I will likely attempt to access the interior fan and unplug it to cut down on the noise. This Danby replaced an older Haier, the Haier was running like a champ so I gave it to my neighbor. Wish I waited before giving away my Haier...I'll be sure to leave this Danby unit behind for the new homeowner that buys my house !!

I have had my Danby DWC508BLS in service for about 2.5 months and so far, so good. There is a little noise if you care to listen, but nothing that bothers me. Seems to maintain temperature well. It looks great in my new kitchen. One of my favorite parts is that if you are storing standard sized wine bottles, I have fit as many as 54 into the unit! I am giving this 4 stars only because of short use time so far, and I am stingy on giving 5s. Keep an eye out on price...I had this DELIVERED in November 2012 for under $600 (I recall about $575 including delivery).

Honest reviews on Danby Designer 50 Bottle Wine Cooler

Got this to replace an extra dishwasher the previous owners has installed in the kitchen. My father got a stand alone Danny years ago and it works great, so I was familiar with the brand. This model was one of the few I found that for our kitchen's dimensions. So far ( 2 weeks in), its working great. It also looks very high end, with the wood racks and the stainless steel finish. It's actually a lot better than the Viking wine fridge we had in our old house (that one didn't have adjustable temperature control, it was really hard to for the bottles in, and it was probably more expensive!).

One thing to note: this model only allows you to set one temperature (from the photos you might think two, since there are two temps displayed), but that's fine for me since I'm just using it for whites, roses, and champagne.

We have this installed in a fairly large living room where we sleep in the summertime and it cools pretty well. It's not what I'd call quiet, but, it's not what I'd call really noisy either (to me it sounds like a box fan). Though, as another reviewer stated there's no drainage holes, so it does make a little noise when the water pools.

It's easy to install and comes with all the screws, foam strip and little brackets so, if you have a Phillips head screwdriver you should have everything you will need when you get home to install it. It's very easy to use as well.

Overall, a nice little a/c that cools nicely.

UPDATE 6/9/11: This is still working nicely for us, though, we started running a fan about 5 feet from this to "pull" the cool air down (as it blows up) as we have very high ceilings and that really helps it actually not only cool down our living room but, our kitchen as well. We have an open floor plan in our home with high ceilings and so far with the fan set up while this a/c is running has been keeping us more than cool enough.

If you want an a/c that's going to "freeze" you out this little a/c probably isn't for you. If you have a small to mid-size room and you want to be just cool and comfortable, than this will work; at least it has for us.

I had one of these that lasted 3 years, I noticed that there was no drainage, I looked it up and apparently the water is supposed to keep the motor cool. But if its too humid it spits water and ice. I purchased a new one a few days ago because I know it going to be a brutal summer, and once again. no Drainage hole. So this time I took pliers and bent the lower pan out so water could drain, and it does. I think there is enough water in the bottom to keep the motor cool and with the bottom drain I created it does not spit water and is quieter. Seems to run very well. When they made this they prolly did not count on Ga humidity. It cools my 14x12 Room very well. It can be 100 outside and 65 in my room with the unit running.

Honest reviews on Haier 5000 BTU Window Air Conditioner

I recently moved to Chicago, where it is quite humid in the summer time. If we didn't live in such a humid area, I think this actually might work alright. But that's not the case and we wasted $100 for basically nothing.

The room we were initially planning on using this was a small bedroom, but unfortunately it only extends up to 3 ft or so, which isn't long enough to accommodate our window (poor planning on our part). We instead put it in our living room, which is about 8x10. This manages to cool more than half of the room. If you're standing on the opposite side of the room, you won't feel the cool air at all. We've had this running on full blast for 5 days and it still hasn't gotten the room cooler than 78-80 degrees, but most of the time it's much hotter than that even. It pulls in so much humidity from outside that you're constantly sweating regardless, so that 78 is actually feels like 6-8 degrees warmer. In addition, it's incredibly noisy. We have to listen to TV with the volume on full blast and still have difficulty hearing it sometimes.

Before this I was living in FL where it is comparably humid, and I have used a 5,000 btu frigidaire window ac unit that was much quieter, did not pull in humidity and it easily cooled down an entire 700 sq ft apartment within 2-3 hours. It's maybe $30-40 more than this unit, but it's well worth it, especially if you live in humid climates. Unfortunately for us, the place we bought this at will not return it if the box has been opened, so we'll have to buy a whole new AC once we get the money.

Please don't buy this thing. I have to call it a thing because it's not an air conditioner. I'm kind of an expert on cheap, little 5000 BTU air conditioners because I have a apartment with old wiring that requires low BTU models and have had to replace my AC twice after construction workers inadvertently damaged them. In the bedroom I have a nice, high-end 8000 BTU model that keeps most of my apartment cool but the air doesn't quite get to the living room on the far side of the apartment. That circuit is wired with old wiring for the half of the apartment that has a lot of high voltage appliances ( the fridge, TV, track lights, toaster oven etc.) so if I put anything more powerful in that window it's too much. So I just use a little one over there and the big AC in the bedroom is doing most of the work. Out of all the little ones I've had over the years the Haier one was the worst. It was so bad I wouldn't even give it to a friend and just threw it out. I don't hate anyone enough to give it away. It slightly dehumidifies the air and blows the air around about as well as a box fan so you won't realize it has no cooling power at first and you might not return it in time to get a refund (and you will want to return it trust me). Once the weather gets over 90 degrees you are better off opening the window because it just will not cool. Even if you tip it downwards properly it spits out lots of water ( most models recycle water and spray it over the parts to keep them cool). Water will also pool up in the bottom. When I threw it out I was amazed how much water was inside. Just do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20 or $30 to get the cheapo Frigidaire 5000 BTU model with rotary control knobs. That one is cheap and a little noisy but at least it will cool the air. Amazon sells both, just compare the reviews.

I have provided two personal photos to show size. I am satisfied with this heater but beware that most states, including mine (MA), prohibits vent-less heaters as primary sources of heat and should only be used as supplemental.

With that said, please be aware that although this product is 99.9% efficient, the unit does give off a smell. The gas by-products that are burning off into the air make the .1% and it is important to keep one window cracked 1 inch.

I have a 1000 square foot apartment, and this year (December 2012) temperatures have dropped below 32 degrees a couple of times and this heater has more than done its job. It is extremely warm and very nice to look at with the blue flame and compact size.

This model does NOT have a digital reading of the temperature despite the product image description. I did purchase an indoor digital thermometer along with a carbon monoxide detector for safety, it has not detected any levels of carbon monoxide. It does come with a kit to either mount it to the wall or have it free standing.

I spent over 5 months researching gas heaters before buying this one, and am overall very satisfied with the physical and mechanical performance.

I did have to call customer serviced a couple of times with questions and they were not only helpful but there weren't any wait times.

Great heater! We had a Williams brand wall heater that failed on us. If we were to fix it , it would have cost us around $150 just to buy the pilot for the old heater SO we decided to try this product. Note that the one we bought does not require vent, blue flame, natural gas. The blower fan blows the heat from the unit towards the room it helps make the room heat quicker and it helps keeps the unit and the things close to it reasonably cool. Also we got the blue flame coz we read somewhere that the yellow flame gives out radiant heat (not sure). The 20k btu heats up a 20-30 degrees 700 sqm (approx) fairly quick. I would buy this product as a gift or recommend it to others.

I am pretty happy with the heater, but I have run several tests on the blower fan ... and I can't even tell a 1 inch difference in whether the fan is on or off.

I hear the fan running, (and I can see the blades moving) but it does not blow into the room (not even one inch more than if the fan is not on) I am beginning to think the fan blades have no significant pitch to them ie they just spin but do not move any air forward.

This is the best basic non-programmable thermostat I have ever installed or used. I have put in several in businesses, churches, my home(s), relative's homes, and friend's homes. I like it that much. It does a much better job of temperature sensing than cheaper (no-name) brands that you can buy for less at the local hardware store. Therefore, the temperature is maintained much more evenly, making it obviously more comfortable.

By far one of my favorite features is the filter alarm. How do you know if your filter needs replacing at 2 or 3 or 4 months? It all depends on how long the fan has run. This thermostat keeps track of the fan running time and you can adjust the time interval on the filter alarm for your environment. Not even the expensive Honeywell thermostats have this feature. (Most of the White-Rodgers / Emerson's do!) Most filter alarms are based only on the number of days that have gone by, not the time the fan is running during those days.

Another nice feature is that it maintains separate heat and cool set temperatures. Many thermostats, especially cheaper ones, have only one set temperature, making it very likely, for example, that when you switch from cool to heat that the furnace will come on immediately. With this thermostat you can set your favorite temps for both, for example, cool to 74 degrees and heat to 68. That way when you switch between them you don't have to change anything else.

It is easy to use and hides all the un-needed controls behind an easy to access panel. This makes it simple for even little kids or anyone else to use. It never beeps at you and has held up well for years. I'm currently buying two more for my new house!
