I bought this thermostat and really like its cute round and pretty look. I had it installed and was looking forward to this being the right one. I am using it for a boiler heater (which has a red and white wire). You can use it for more than that as well. ( it works for cooling also).

The problem came when the heater when on the display disapeared. I was suprised and contacted honeywell and they told me that if you have a "Taco" brand zone valve. (which in simple englishif your heater has different zones for different parts of the house then you would have a zone valve ( its a small outlet near the boilder). Even if you just have one zone you would still have it.

So if you have the brand Taco and you can google it, its very popular than this model will not work with it properly. I called honeywell and they are well aware of this problem. They recommend using a model that has battery backup. ( note: this is only a problem with the digital model) not the older models or non digital ones. If you are looking for the right model I would suggest calling honeywell before you buy. 1800-468-1502 many models have battery backup. I hope you save the trouble I went through.

I like this traditional style digital thermostst because it is so easy to set and see the room temperature at a glance. You almost have to be a rocket scientist to use some of today's programmable thermostats. Whereas I just want to set the temperature and forget it.

We rent, and the house we are in had an old (though charming, design wise) metal mechanical version of this unit that did a poor job of keeping the temperature constant. Installing this took about 10 min and now the house is nice an cool in summer and toasty and warm in winter.

Recommended.

My fan won't turn on independently. It does work for heat the way it should. I tried every combination of the 3 wires (except red) It replaced an old Honeywell mercury switch. The company wouldn't exchange. They wanted to service the original. I would have been without a thermostat in the winter months.

I love this little heater! I bought this to help heat my trailer. It does such a great job that my furnace has hardly kicked on, even on the 32 degree and below nights we have already had! I really like how you can set the temperature and the heater actually seems to run and heat according to the actual room temp, not the heaters temp or the immediate areas temp. When I was out looking at heaters, a Lowe's employee told me that the thermostat is on the top of the heater so the closer to the floor you can place it the more accurate the heater's thermostat will read, so therefore the heater will run more accurately. I have mine set about 18" off the floor at one end of a 450sq. ft area. My thermostat is across the room and reads fairly close to what I have the heater set for!!!

I also bought this for the safety features. The outside stays cool and if it tips over it shuts off. I have a curious 1 year old so these features were very important to me. It also has a slim design so it fits well up buy the wall out of the way. It is pretty quiet too.

I highly recommend this heater and intend to buy one for my bedroom as well!

Enjoy a softly warm flow of circulated heat by selecting this very quiet heater's oscillation that rotates up to about ½ circle.

Here's how it has been designed to save up to 35% on electricity, which means a small contribution to lowering greenhouse gases on the top of this heater is its Energy Smart knob that has six basic settings: -"frost watch" 65 F. 70 F. 75 F. 80 F. maximum heat.

On "Maximum Heat" the heater goes full force and does not save electricity. On the other settings the heater automatically selects the appropriate power level to best accommodate your desired temperature selected. As the temperature in the room approaches the set temperature, the heater will automatically lower the power consumption and provide consistent warmth without wasting energy. This also means your room will heat to the set temperature without overheating the room -a real nice feature.

The illuminated LED lights indicate what the current room temperature is. The "frost watch" automatically turns the unit on if the temperature drops below 55 F. to help protect against freezing of pipes or frost damage.

This heater also has an auto-off tip over switch and Overheat Protection; plus a 3 year warranty. And, its operation is almost silent and it's cool to the touch. Five stars for Honeywell's design and quality control of this Made in China product.

I bought this heater at Wal-Mart for $40.00 so Amazon's price is higher plus it doesn't include taxes and shipping. The unit itself is wonderful. I have a 15x14 bedroom and it gets my room up to 80 degrees in no time. It's not extremely quiet but it's not so loud that it drowns out the TV. I love the fact you can tell what temperature it is in the room right on the heater and that it swivels back and forth on it's own. The feature that was most important to me is that the front face/grill of it wouldn't be hot to the touch and no matter what the temperature it stays cool. So I don't have to worry about anyone getting burned or it tipping over on something and burning the house down.

I bought another heater (smaller) for my office cubicle and that one's going back because it throws heat but only in one direction and the front/grill gets hot. For it to be effective it would have to sit on my desk and that's not possible. So, I'll just pick-up another Honeywell. I highly recommend this Honeywell heater, I haven't had to turn on the heat so far and with these units I hopefully won't have to all winter long.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Cool Touch Oscillating Heater w/ Smart Energy Digital

This is my first negative review on Amazon. I bought two of these space heaters, and both of them failed within the first year. One turns on but the heating element doesn't heat up. The other overheats anytime it's turned on, then shuts itself off. Talk about poor quality control! I wouldn't waste your time with these Honeywell heaters; try any other brand first.

This is a good heater. I have it and it serves it's purpose good. What I wanted to say most importantly is that the cord is very long. What most people do not realize is that it is wrapped up underneath the base...so it is hidden. If you look underneath you'll see it...it's a storage compartment for the cord.

This coffeemaker is probably used commercially as it doesn't provide any instructions for the best type of ground coffee to use or if you need to use a filter and if so what size. Simple instructions would have helped prevent a big problem during a party when the grounds were too small and plugged up the maker resulting in a big mess. The last thing a host needs in the middle of a party of 85 people.

This Fireplace has it all. My wife and I had been shopping for some time, and even bought a different model fireplace but ended it returning it because it looked cheesy. We were very excited to find this one on Amazon. The installation was pretty simple. It heats up our large bedroom nicely, has a beautiful curved front glass face, and a variety of colored background LED lights to choose from, plus a remote!!! This is a very nice and modern compliment to our bedroom, we couldn't be happier. As a side note, this seller is easy to work with, was very prompt in his email replies to us, and it was shipped very fast to Wa State. We initially were unable to turn it on, and when we contacted the seller he offered to ship us one the next day. Well we ended up figuring it out on our own, but was very grateful the seller was willing to quickly go above and beyone that extra mile. Highly recommend this!

Review of Honeywell HM512VPIAQ TrueSteam Humidifier - 12 Gallon

Honeywell HM512VPIAQ TrueSteam Humidifier - 12 Gallon
Customer Ratings: 2 stars
Buy Now
Here's the deal. This product is basically a bucket with a huge electrode in the middle of it. The system fills the bucket with water and turns on the electrode. This creates steam which is pumped into the air ducts. Other humidifiers work by passing air over a water soaked filter. The idea of not having to deal with a nasty filter but rather having steam injected into the air flow is amazing. Because this unit basically boils the water, it leaves behind all of the calcium and lime in the tank. It does try to flush the tank every so often to get rid of it but as we all know, hard water builds up on everything. Unless you have VERY soft water the system will eventually need a cleaning. When you follow the instructions you have do due a hard water test and then buy a filter product. The product comes with a hard water test kit that you use to tell how hard your water is. There are 3 levels and at each level Honeywell recommends a product to reduce the water hardness. I am telling you, you need a method to get rid of the calcium or lime in your water or this product will not work. As with everything, people try to do it as cheaply as possible and not buy a filter. Then the system doesn't work, even though Honeywell told you want you need and people complain that this is junk. The $250 item the other reviewer is talking about is a reverse osmosis kit that removes all the calcium and lime from the water. Sure it sucks to have to buy another item but you'll need one for other products as well, unless you like chipping away the build up every so often. The part number you need is Honeywell 50045947-001. If you have really bad water pressure get 50045947-002 which comes with a pump. 50045947-001 runs about $178.

With that said, Honeywell advertises this as being able to be installed in 5 minutes. That is only true if you have: 1. a drain nearby, a dedicated 15 AMP circuit (this product draws 12 amps), and a water source. You also need spot on your HVAC outflow duct large enough to mount this on. I didn't have a dedicated 15 AMP line in so I put one in easy enough but if you aren't good with electrical you'll have to hire someone to put a line in. This comes with a saddle value which allows you to tap onto an existing water pipe without having to call a plumber. It worked great. You can use this with any humidistat or thermostat that has a humidity control. I have the Honeywell Prestige thermostat and wanted to connect this to the system wirelessly. To do that I had to buy an additional Honeywell wireless adapter. The wireless adapter made it easy though. Connect A to A, B to B, C to C, D to D and you're done. All in all my complete install was about $800-$900 (including reverse osmosis filter). Is that a lot of money? I guess, but I like the best.

So if you want to be successful make sure you buy the Honeywell reverse osmosis system or you'll be sorry. Installers, quit selling this to people without also selling the reverse osmosis system.

What a frustrating expensive disappointment this humidifier has been.My wife wanted more humidity in our home. Pretty dry out here in the desert southwest. We had this unit professionally installed in our 7 year old home. We have two split HVAC systems in our 3000 sq foot home. We live in Western AZ. It was installed in one of the air handlers. We have a soft water conditioner and the recommended water filter in the system. We had some initial issues with a defective pump assembly and erroneous error codes that were due to a bad water sensor. Once those items were corrected, it worked great for about two months. Then we would get air flow, but no humidity change, or it wouldn't come on at all. The HVAC company has installed complete system installations for us on a few homes we had built over the last several years. They have a good reputation in this town and know what they are doing. We have had at least 12 service visits since it was installed in January of 2012. Our air handlers are installed in our attics, which is typical for this area, but makes reading the service lights and doing repairs a real pain in the rear and costly.Our HVAC contractor now wants to refund all of our money and remove the system. They too, have had enough with this unreliable system. They have a few others installed in town that are causing them issues.Tech support with Honeywell is pretty good for the Techs, but the homeowner support phone number is in India and their service,in my opinion is poor, very poor. I am retired now, but I have HVAC experience. You can press one for English, but that won't get you anyone that speaks it very well. When I asked to speak to someone at Honeywell in the U.S., I never received a return call back as promised. Buy a portable humidifier, you will be happier with it and save a lot of money.

Update: The humidifier system was removed on 03/11/13 at the request of the contractor and we received a full refund.

Honeywell HM506H8908 Truesteam Humidifier, 6-GallonIt sounded so good. Bought online and installed it myself and my HVAC friend set up the wiring into my system. Worked OK a few months, but added about $100.00 a month to my electric bill. Then, the little red trouble lights started blinking, so I cleaned it repeatedly and replaced parts, but a day or two later the defect light was blinking again. Got a new one on warranty and it did not last any longer. The new manual, when the red light flashes, says just call your installer for a service call!!!! Ripped it all out and into trash.

Honest reviews on Honeywell HM512VPIAQ TrueSteam Humidifier - 12 Gallon

I have a TrueSteam humidifire. Half of the parts are replaced at least once. It has cost me way more than its price to maintain it, not considering all the time I put into it, all the nights I wend down to the furnace room to reset it, and days off work to be home to open the door for my tech guy. Don't be deceived by the 5 year warranty, it is just a gimmick to lure you in. Once you're hooked you have implicitly accepted paying Honeywell hundreds of dollars without having a choice. Consider buying a unit which is more expensive and have it properly installed. Just think about it, if you buy a decent humidifier twice as expensive and it works for you for ten years you have saved yourself at least $500 because with Honeywell you must buy at least three units to get through 10 years of service, let alone your time to baby sit them.

Do not buy. I have four of these units; two in my home and two in my parents' home. They are very poorly designed and I strongly recommend you avoid them. In the two years I have had them, I have had the following problems:

1) Three water overflow sensor errors. Even though these can be removed and cleaned, in each case the fault would recur despite their relatively short life span and no obvious visual sign of wear. I ended up purchasing new sensors for all three. (About $90 each as I recall). Oh, and Honeywell won't talk to you or let you order parts if you are not a HVAC professional. The result of this silly policy is that people end up going to internet supply houses and buying parts that they might not need because Honeywell won't help with diagnosis of problems.

2) These get very hot when working. You need rubber drain hoses or hi-temp PVC. Both of my resevoirs have discolored and on occasion, water boils up through the top vents. and down the face of the unit. Frankly, they are a little scary and had I known how hot they would get, I probably would not have bought a plastic unit. I can't really blame Honeywell for that (it is supposed to make steam after all).

3) The automoatic drain cycles are almost useless and you can plan on cleaning these a couple of times a season or the heating element and the water resevoir where the overflow sensor sits will start to build up with scale and you will start getting error messages (blinking lights). Over the summer, fill the tank with a mix of CLR and water and leave it unplugged. After a few weeks, all the crud and scale will dissolve.

4) Two of the four units leak from the bottowm of the water resevoir near the resevoir retaining and drain stem. I've disassembled the valve assemblies (clean and lube), but there are no washers -if you want to fix the leak, pull out your wallet and buy a new internal stem. I just keep a bucket underneath them for now because I plan on replacing all four units at the end of this season.

All in all, good concept, bad execution.

Works like a charm.

Connect the Heat Mat monitor's power cord into the wall, then connect the seedling heat mat's power cord into the monitor.

To set the degrees is very easy. Hold down the button "SET" until the numbers are blinking. Then using the up and down arrows, set the desired temperature then press the "SET" button again to stop the blinking. Also press down the "UP" button for 6 seconds for readings in Fahrenheit or hold down the "DOWN" button for 6 seconds for readings in Celsius.

There is a little wire with a plastic white tip that hangs from the monitor.

Push the white part into the soil for temperature reading.(Once temperature is set, do not be alarmed when your heat mat reaches its maximum temperature you set it to then the Heat Mat monitor temperature will go up and down 3 degrees to prevent over heating)

This is very helpful for starting seeds.

I am using this mat to keep a constant temperature on my Kombucha brew. Using a standard heating pad, this theromstat does the job. I'm very pleased with it. I can keep the temperature at 79 degrees and not have to have a heating pad constantly on. Keep the suction cup clean so it doesn't pop off the glass and a thermometer handy to monitor the temperature.

Just like a few other reviewers on here, I bought these for my under tank heaters on my two python tanks. They are very, very effective at regulating the temperatures accurately. I compare the temps on this product with my digital thermometers and they work great.

A few things some people would like to know:

These are set it and forget it thermostats. You put in the maximum temp (i.e, 90 or 92) degrees and this thermostat will automatically kick on if the temp gets 2 degrees less (88 or 90 degrees respectively). This means you are not going to get too much variation in the warm spot hide which is a great thing but you CAN NOT change this variance. I don't see a real reason you need to though.

The probe cables are perfect length and since they are designed for soil applications, they can be buried in substrate. They also have a suction cup if you need to monitor ambient air instead.

TIP: Though some people say you should bury the probe and it should make have DIRECT contact with the UTH, I tried this out and I didn't like it. I am more concerned with the overall micro-climate in the hide or on the surface of the substrate so I just let it lay level with the substrate. That way, if the snake is colder than usual, they will coil in the hide and will give the thermostats a reading that is cooler than the actual temperature. This means the UTH will kick on a little longer than normal and warm the snake back up to a nice temperature.

These thermostats are very heavy duty and can handle a large electrical load (1000 watts). Since most undertank heaters are 24 watts or less, you can definitely use this stat with multiple tank heaters. It has a three-prong connector on it and heavy-duty power cords/connectors.

There isn't a reason you can't use this with visible light heaters but I would imagine it would be annoying to have the constant on/off. Use it with ceramic heaters or heat tamp instead. For the visible light heaters, use a dimmer or proportional thermostat. The same goes for incubators. Get a proportional thermostat for your incub.

PS. Gave it 4/5 stars because it's not a proportional thermostat, but for the money you know what you're getting! Definitely recommend!!!

This was just what I needed to keep my seed soil at a proper warmth to promote growth. When used in conhuction of a seedling heating pad, it makes growing from seeds a snap. It was easily set-up and easy to adjust as I added different types of seeds. It kept the seeding tray at a constant 81-86 degrees until my peppers had sprouted. Later it kept it at around 75 degrees. The click it makes when coming on and turning off is quiet and no disturbing to the conversation.

This thermostat works great and turned a poor farmer like me into a succesful grower so far. I set the thermostat 2oF above what I wanted it and when the temp drops to where I want it, it kicks the heat mat in to keep seedlings at or 2oF above my temp range desired. VERY easy to set and use and can be set at any temp a plant seed would like to sprout at. :D

I would reccomend this thermometer to anyone that wants to sprout seeds. Your mat will not overheat your seeds this way and you don't have to sit and monitor your seeds all day and night... just set and forget. ;)

By the way you should see how many seeds I sprouted on my first attempt useing this thing... gonna have a HUGE garden full of alll kinds of herbs... Parsley, Oregano, Tomatos, Cilantro, Asperagus, etc. I have tons of seeds my first time out sprouting and growing at an incredible rate now. :D

For quite awhile I've had a Honeywell programmable thermostat, but it wouldn't allow me to set the the temp span. It had a 1 deg span (1/2 deg down and 1/2 deg up) and it looked like it was stuck on one temp (I'm old fashion: I like setting my thermostat manually so I couldn't tell if the furnace had just went off or if it was ready to turn on again, it just stayed on one temp). So a while back I bought a Hunter thermostat just like this one, so that I could set the temp span on it and I really liked it, but it didn't have a back light. Needless to say, its a pain in the A$$ trying to set a temp on a thermostat at night without a back light and now my pain is gone because this Hunter does have a back light, so a lesson learned: before buying a thermostat always make sure it has a back light (in my defense, I guess I was looking too hard at the temp span aspect and over looked the light aspect). I guess it telling that I like this thermostat if I'll spend the extra money just to get a light.

Note: Sorry, I can't comment on the programmable aspect of the thermostat, because even though I have the skills, I'm just old fashion and I haven't use the programmable part of this thermostat

Cons: Changes temperature setting outside it's programmed schedule, very small print on display, somewhat complicated to operate (for a thermostat!)

I bought two units, both "malfunctioned" in the same way I set "Asleep" time to end at 6am (heat was programmed to 55 degrees for Asleep time) but the thermostat changed to "At Home" heat temperature setting (62 degrees) at 5:20am!! I verified several times that I had set it up correctly. I even changed the "Asleep" schedule period to 7am, then the thermostat changed to the "At Home" temperature at 6:30am, while still displaying that it was in the "Asleep" period.

I can't really say much about this item because I only replaced my original working part based on the recommendation that this part, along with a few others, should be replaced when your dryer stops working properly. My original part was still testing good with a multimeter but I replaced it anyway and tucked it away as a spare part. This new thermostat worked as advertised and is still holding up fine after 7 months.

I bought these in an attempt to save $180 repair bill. It took the better part of a day to take the dryer apart and put it back together but it was well worth it

My husband wanted to buy one of these last fall, and I was unconvinced. We had a power outage last winter when it was -30 degrees outside and suffered for three days with no heat in our house. After that, I was persuaded to go along with his "crazy" idea. We are using this as a natural gas heat source. The great part about it is that if we lose electricity again this winter, we will still be able to stay warm and comfortable. One of the things I like about it is the moisture that is put into the air by the gas burning. The humidity in our house is staying around 60 degrees when we have the stove running. We are going to get rid of the old humidifier, as it is no longer needed. We are both very pleased with our purchase.

We had a professional run the gas line and hook it up for us, and bought a CO2 alarm for the house, for safety.

I have three propane fireplaces in my home. I love being able to warm up a room quickly and watch the fire dance. This one looks nice and sets up easily except that the instructions didn't say where the battery for the electronic starter went. A phone call answered that question easily (you unscrew the starter button). If you are looking for a reasonably priced stove that puts out a lot of heat, it does. Unfortunately for me, the room I put it in is only 13x16 and it heats up so fast that I can't sit and watch the fire for very long. So if you like to sit and watch flames dance, consider getting a smaller stove. My other concern is that when it kicks on, the gas comes out for several seconds before it catches fire with a big "whosh." My other fireplaces don't do that. As long as it is in a big room and far from any curtains or fabric, it is probably perfectly safe, but where I have it, I turn it off when I leave the room just to be safe.

If you are deciding between a vent-free and direct-vent stove, first make sure you have enough space to support a vent-free stove. If you do, I found the look to be much nicer than the direct-vent. The flames dance more, and they put out lots more usable heat.

I purchased the Bainbridge II Dual Fuel Freestanding Stove with an optional blower attachment. The Stove works great for its intended purpose. The blower on the other hand did not work at all. When I purchased these items I believed they were going to be brand new products like the item description stated. The blower came in a box that had the return receipt of another customer still inside it. So, someone else returned it because it didn't work and then the company resells it to me as brand new! I have exchanged a couple of e-mails with the company about it but then nothing. They have gone unheard of! I'm now out $100 because this company refused to stand behind their sale. Look around for a different seller.

Love this stove. I have a fairly big room (17x24 with arch ceiling) that has electric heat (rest of the house is propane). This room at very best in the winter (New England) was sort of warm. I never use the electric anymore. This stove not only provides lots of cozy heat but it actually heats the rest of the house as well. The logs are pretty real looking, especially at night. I am using just the stove without the blower attachment. The sides and rear of the stove stay cool all the time.

The downside is the starter button. When I unscrew the cap to put in the battery the starter fell back through the hole. Just remove the 2 screws that hold the face plate and then it is a piece of cake.

I bought this gas stove last autumn (a full year ago) when my home's furnace died, as an interim measure until I replaced an ancient oil fired furnace from the 1920s with electric heat. I live in Philadelphia where it gets COLD, in a 1920s two-story row house of about 1000 square feet, with no insulation in the attic, and old single-glazed aluminum windows. I never intended to use this to heat the house, it was meant to add some ambience and serve as an emergency heat source.

Well, this little stove stepped up to the challenge, in ways I NEVER thought it could. It was very easy to set it up, the instructions were very clear and straightforward; anyone with moderate plumbing skills can do it. It's nice and wide, an ideal height, and not very deep so it fits better in a small living room than any other stove I could find. The thermostat works very well at regulating a steady heat, and works in two stages, adjusting the flame height according to how much demand there is for heat. In mild autumn weather it cycles on and off on its own and easily maintains a constant temperature. In the coldest weather of January it runs pretty much continually, but will cycle between a low flame and a high flame depending on the need for extra heat (e.g., when someone opens the front door). Even without using a fan, this stove is capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the house, THE ENTIRE YEAR! I still haven't replaced my furnace, and this little stove is ready for its 2nd heating season.

Now, because there is no central heating plant (yet, I'm working on that, but I think I'll just install electric baseboard heaters because they're cheaper and I won't ever use them anyway) the basement gets cold. SO! I purchased a gas ventless "garage heater" and installed it downstairs (FOLLOW THIS LINK, HERE: ProCom Dual Fuel Vent-Free Blue Flame Garage Heater 30,000 BTU, Model# MD300TGA ) it's not as pretty but just as efficient. Now the basement is warm, the floors on the main floor are nice and toasty warm, and the temperature is more even. Perfect! And I am saving a TON on heating bills. In the coldest month my gas bill was only $200. And to be fair I should point out that I have gas hot water, a gas clothes dryer, gas oven and cooktop, gas bar-b-que.

As far as safety, I installed a C02 monitor on each floor and the basement. None of them have ever gone off, so the people that say you'll get sick from too mich C02 are nuts. It's no different than using your gas cooktop (which doesn't have a chimney, either, and I've never heard of anyone getting sick from having a gas range). Ventless stoves burn differently than do gas appliances that are designed to have chimneys they are NOT the same. The downside? Because ventless appliances have to burn cleanly the flame isn't as "pretty" as a vented fireplace the flame is more blue and less yellow, and not as large. So turn the lights down if you want to see the flame! Even though the "fire" is not as dramatic as a wood fireplace or vented gas fireplace, IT'S 100% EFFICIENT! no WASTE! Every penny you spend on gas stays IN your house as heat. Nothing goes up a chimney. You'd have to spend thousands on a gas furnace to compare to the efficiency of this stove, and even then no furnace is more than 97% efficient. And these expensive high-efficiency gas furnaces still use a lot of electricity, too, to operate the controls and the fan this stove doesn't need ANY electricity. It's worth having a less exciting blaze knowing you're spending hundreds less on your gas (and electric) bill, isn't it?? Any drawbacks? Yes if you have a dusty environment or are fond of using a lot of air-contaminating air fresheners (or if you smoke indoors, or use cleaners with heavy scents all which ARE bad for your lungs) these airborne particles will be burnt up by the stove, as well. The result is a gray ash film will build up on the inside of the stove around the flame, and on articles near the stove. I am doing renovations, which makes my house dustier than is typical for most people; I have a mirror above the stove and I have to clean it every 2 or 3 months because a faint film of ash builds up. It's easy enough to wipe it off with a damp cloth or glass cleaner. It DID improve when I bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner (awesome!) which significantly reduced the level of dust in my home. Now to be fair, if you've ever used an open fireplace, or a wood stove for heat, this is NOTHING compared to the soot and dust that using a wood fire produces in your home!! Other than that, this little stove is amazing

Buy the stove stop looking for a better model, there isn't one. Just do it, it will pay for itself in a couple of months, AND you'll have the pleasure of an open flame to stare at, and being toasty warm, on those cold blustery nights when your neighbors are bundled up in blankets trying to save a few dollars on their gas bill!

I just (unfortunately) bought this heater on ebay. Luckily I didn't pay a lot for it. The heater has trouble keeping the set temperature and there is NO factory warranty that comes with it. It's pretty bad when the manufacturer won't even put a warranty on their product. If you buy anything on ebay, check it out at AMAZON first to see how its rated. It might help you save some money.

This appeared to be a product that would perform as advertised.

Well, it can't keep a 14 by 24 room warm.

And it consumption of electricity is toooo high!

realize that all electric heaters put out a max of a little more than 5000 btu's per their 1500 watt rating. so do not be fooled into spending more on features to get nothing. it is good to have a thermostat for auto temperature control but beyond that money is wasted on remote controls and the like. up to 50 dollars for a fan forced or oil filled heater with thermostat is the sensible way to go.

I've been using this tower heater/fan since October and I've had a fairly good experience. It's basically the taller version of the "SPT SH-1508 Tower Ceramic Heater with Ionizer." The SH-1508 was too short for my tall bed and adding an extra foot to the height in the SH-1509 made is ideal. It heats up my mid size room pretty well.

When I first got this product it looked like it was in good condition (the box definitely wasn't though). But it seems that there's a little bit of blurred area on the front inside of the remote control signal receptor. But that area is a black background with a red light covered by the transparent plastic so I can't really tell the blurred plastic cover anymore unless I look closely.

The fan was very quiet when I first got it. I am a very light sleeper and even the smallest sounds can wake me up, and I slept through fine when the heater went off. However, about a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the fan, when especially oscillating, makes a vibrating noise. Pretty unfortunate since it makes the fan noisey now I might have to take it apart to see if anything came loose.

Besides those two things, I really have no complaints except the shape of the heater itself. It's not symmetrical as I expect most products to be. It's really not a big deal but it might bother the odd ones like myself.

PROS:

Tall

Multiple settings: High, Low, Fan (although very week) and Auto (I always use this setting heater is set to go off when the adjustable temperature is reached)

Quiet

Remote control this is one of the best features

Neat and clear blue screen

Space-efficient

CONS:

Wasn't in 100% prestine condition when I first got it.

Something came loose and now makes a vibrating noise only after 2 months of use.

Fan is weak I can't feel any cool air unless I'm directly in front of it.

Overall, I would recommend that other people who don't want a stubby heater like the SH-1508 should get the SH-1509. It's pretty much the same fan around the same price but taller. If it weren't for the vibrating noise that suddenly happened, I'd give it five stars.

Heater is great for the money. heats up quickly, fan is a little loud for the living room but overall great item. i would buy another one if i needed it.

Honest reviews on SPT SH-1509 Pedestal Ceramic Heater

This is a great little heater/fan. It puts out a lot of heat and only takes up a minimal amount of space. The remote control is an added convenience and I like the safety/shut-off feature when the heater is moved. The only negative is in trying to get the device to fan only; I wish this had been a separate button on the remote control as it is somewhat difficult to see/read from the distance that you would use the remote.

This was a great heater for the first year I used it. It heats quickly and the fan with oscillation distributes the heat well. I do feel the cons out weigh the pros. As some of the other reviews have stated when you change a setting on the heater it does make a rather loud beep sound, the heater fan is a little on the loud side in general, if you turn off the heat and just use this as a fan, it really does not move very much air, and lastly it only lasted for two winters which I feel is not very long for something in this price point. Currently it heats for about ten minutes and then the heater element and fan just stop working and I have to disconnect power for several hours and it will work for another ten minutes.
