Buy Universal Thermostat Standard Heat / Cool with Fan Control

Customer Ratings:

First thermostat received didn't work, but seller sent out another one right away without any hassles. Both were new in factory packaging, the first one was just a lemon I guess. Installation was easy and we haven't had any problems with it since & the seller provided stellar customer service!

Amba / Jeeves Amba Towel Warmer- H Curved, Oil Rubbed Bronze Review

The towel warmer installed easily and is very solid. It isn't cheap looking or feeling. It actually looks very nice. BUT I am disappointed at the warming ability. I expected the towels to be nice and toasty when I get out of the shower. But they are just slightly warm and really only right in the center where the towel folds over the bar. I put the towel on the bar the night before and have tried snaking it through the warming bars every way I can but the towel is still only marginally warm. So while it is nice to have and looks great in the bathroom I renovated, I am disappointed in the performance. If I had it to do over, I guess I would spend a little more and get a bigger towel warmer that would warm the towels up better.

Reviews of The Original SUNHEAT Electronic Infrared Zone Heater with Remote

Update 03/06/2013

I have had the heater for about two weeks and it had worked flawlessly. I use it to supplement the heat from our heat pump when the heat pump cannot keep up. Its usually when the temperature is in the teens or below zero.

I'm increasing the star rating of the product to Five stars with the some notes and comments.

Product ***** (5 Stars) Works as described and if you are lucky to get a undamaged product.

Product Packaging * (1 Star) I would advise the company to package the product with a lot more padding. The heater is a heavy items and everytime I have received the heater, the accompanying styroform padding is disintegrated when I open the carton

Price *** (3 Stars) I bought the Sunheat original heater, Black Cherry color that sells for $329. The other colors sells for $379 and it is still somewhat expensive.

Power consumption I will update once I have a meaasure the power consumption

Customer service ***** (5 Stars) Amazon customer service is outstanding. Even when I had to deal with 3 defective/damages heaters and one empty box incident that didnt' contain any content, Amazon customer service was outstanding

OTHER NOTES:

I use the Sunheat heater in the living room and feel safe using the heater with a toddler walking/crawling around. The issue I face is that there should be some way to lock out the control buttons on the main heater unit as my curious toddler seems to press the buttons on the unit and mess up the settings. Since the unit already comes with a remote, I would suggest that the manufacturer please look into incorporating this feature which would be very beneficial for the consumer.

Update 02/18/2013

I placed a new order for the Sunheat heater (Black Cherry color) on 02/18/2013 and received the heater on 02/20/2013. The heater arrived in one piece without any issues. Let me review the heater once its been used for a couple of months. Stay tuned....

Update 02/08/2013

When I placed a replacement order for the Sunheat Black Cherry heater, the website showed that it was out of stock. I checked the order status daily. I was happy when I saw that my replacemewnt order had the message that it was shipping soon. When I tracked the replacement Sunheat heater, the UPS tracking information showed it was delivered on 02/05/2013 and was left at my front door. When I went home from work, I saw a smaller box left at my front door that could not physically contain the Sunheat heater due to its dimensions. Also the box was light as a feather. I opened the box and there were some brown paper packing materials in it. An empty box was shipped to me by the amazon fulfilment center. When looking at the Amazon website, the inventory for the Sunheat Black Cherry color still showed out of stock. I called Amazon customer service and explained the situation. Amazon customer service infromed me that they will refunded me the amount. They asked me place a new order when the item is back in stock. I'm still curious to know as to how I managed to get an empty box without nothing in it. All in all I'm still without a Sunheat heater.

Initial Review

==============

I ordered the original Sunheat infrared zone heater with the remote on January 17th 2013. I ordered the Black color and paid $379.00. It was delivered to me on January 22nd 2013. I'm an Amazon Prime memeber and this was delivered using 2 day shipping option. The heater had its own cardboard box, that was shipped inside an amazon box. I opened the heater and noticed that the wood cabinet had a small ship on the side. Hence I requested a replacement. The replacement was ordered on January 22nd and was delivered to me on January 25th via Amazon Prime. Everything looked fine outside the heater. But when I picked it up I could hear noises of nuts and bolts loose and clanking inside the unit. Even though I wanted to return this, I wanted to give the unit another try. As far as the heater it functioned without any issues. But I was not able to set the heaters internal clock. I set the internal clock to 8:24PM and after ten minutes later, when I checked the clock, it still showed 8:24PM. (The internal clock is an essential component of the heater and it is used to program the start and stop times). I wanted to get a replacement unit and placed the order. But I cancelled the order for the Black unit as I saw the unit with the color I wanted at a cheaper price offered by Amazon. I order the Sunheat heater with the Black Cherry color for $329 ($50 cheaper than the Black color) on January 25th and it was delivered to me on January 29th. The outside of the cardboard box looked tattered and beaten up. I still opened the box thinking the packaging inside might protect the heater. But I was incorrect in my assumption. The heater was pretty beat up and whole cabinet unit fell apart when taken out of the box and also there were lots of big nicks and dents on the cabinet. I have requested for the replacement and I'm awaiting to receive it.

Positives

Very good zone heater if you are lucky in getting an undamaged unit

Fast shipping if you are a Amazon Prime Member

Depening on the color choices, you can find the prices cheaper. Example Black unit sells for $379 where as the Black Cherry sells for $329

Amazons hazzle free return policy

Negatives

Bad packaging/carton that disintegrates during shipment

Hit and miss on the receiving a good working heather. (Seems like playing the lottery)

My mother in law decided to use my microwave as a timer but failed to use the timer feature and used the cook in high power setting for 30 minutes. Needless to say the cabinet flame cut-out switch tripped and is not resettable. I purchased this product, installed it, problem solved.

Reviews of Jackson Systems WCT-32 Wireless Comfort Programmable Thermostat

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $251.09

We installed this thermostat in an 11 unit, two story apartment building. The building is old with boiler heat. The original thermostat was in the owners unit. We recently have started to rent the unit out and that created a problem. If the tenant turned on the gas fireplace to warm up the living room, that "fooled" the thermostat into believing the entire building was warm and so the steam heat was not kicking in.

We put the new wireless WCT-32 unit in the hallway with a locking cover and the problem was solved. As a bonus, it seems to be very accurate and is holding a steady heat to all units better than the original.

We recently put a fireplace insert in our living room. I was concerned that because the thermostat for one of our zones would be influenced by the circulated heat, it might make the rest of the house on that zone unbearably cold. I wanted to relocate the thermostat, but I didn't want to run another wire, and it made sense to keep the existing thermostat where its at for the AC control.

I searched for wireless thermostats, and found that they ranged from ~$150 up to $300 or more. I wanted something reliable, but without too many bells and whistles. I opted for this model and brand based on a few comments on other products I found, and it was made in the USA.

I have a mechanical engineering background, which helped in figuring out the wiring. The instructions didn't provide a lot of detail. But with a bit of internet surfing, and a few educated guesses, I was able to tie this into my existing setup. If you have a 2 wire system, you will need an isolation relay that is switched by the 24V source. There is a receiver that is mounted near the furnace, and the thermostat that is located in the place you want to control.

Once installed, I placed this about 40 feet away, through 2 walls, and a hardwood floor. I can't really tell you how far away you can place this, but it works flawlessly. I was worried that there could be too much RF interference from wireless networks, and other interference. But as I said, it has been trouble free.

We have radiant floor heating which reacts very slowly to changes. With this located in the far bedroom, we are able to keep that room comfortable for sleeping, while at the same time running the fireplace insert to reduce the energy required by the furnace. It was fairly easy to program. It is well made, and I really like the large display.

We have had zero degree weather, and I haven't given this a second thought.

I highly recommend this product.

Best Avanti : WCR683DZD2 24 Freestanding Wine Cooler with Wooden Shelves Deals

Customer Ratings:

When I first received this wine cooler it worked great. Loved the layout and the dual controls. But after a couple years in service the compressor went out. Fortunately we had an extended warranty that covered the costs. About 1/2 a year later the cooler was down again. This time the warranty was up and the parts were on backorder. The cooler was down about 45 days before we received the parts (Which were very expensive). That brings us up to now and the cooler is down again, only this time the parts will be 2-3 months. My feeling is that a company is only as good as its service and Avanti gets and F. They do not returns calls. The local repair shop--their "authorized service tech"--is at wits end trying to get the parts for us. Well, after reviewing the cost of the new parts, we finally decided that to repair it again would be too expensive...so it becomes junk!

Shipped promptly and was set up inside the house. The unit has no rollers under it just leveling feet. The compressor and fan are fairly quiet when they come on. Shelves accommodate various size bottles including chardonnay, pinot noir and thick glass bottles. Did not have issues with the fit being so tight that it scraped the labels off. It is rare that I was able to get 10 bottles on a shelf, so capacity was really more like 130 bottles than 160. Overall great unit at a great price. I would recommend it.

The temperature does not remain constant, widely fluctuating as much as 7 degrees within minutes with no atmosphereic temperature change of any significance, and it will not remain at the same temperature range as its 683 counterpart right next to it that I purchased in 2010. Further, I called the Avanti service line to arrange a for a technician to examine the unit under the warranty. The company they contract with in St. Louis is called ServTech and the technician who was supposed to make the service call for them is Ed Springer. I arranged with Ed to come Saturday morning (April 13) at 9:30 A.M. I opened the main front door of the house around 9:10 or 9:15, thus leaving only the windowed storm door closed so he would know I was there, I saw his card stuck in the main door window. So the guy showed up long before 9:30, left his card, and took off. I never heard a knock and never got a call from him to tell me he was there. Wait, it gets worse. I called him 3 times on Saturday, told him that I knew he was there before 9:30, and to please call me back so he could come back and do the job. I never heard from him.
