This wine chiller is great for the price I paid. I like the slim width of the unit, the digital temperature controls, and the interior light is a nice touch (the light is not quite bright enough though).

It seems well made and is very quiet. Nice job Haier!

I ordered the Haier 8-Bottle wine cooler as a test of the Haier brand! With so many brands to choose from, and many negative reviews of most wine coolers, I didn't want to invest in one that I would not be happy with, and the price of this cooler is a steal! After 8 months of experience with the Haier I must say that I'm very satisfied with this wine cooler! I've had zero problems! Even after leaving home for two months this summer, where temps inside my home reached 90 degrees, the cooler worked great! I'm now looking to purchase a larger Haier, 8 bottles is OK, but I'm looking to now move up to 32...!

Our Wine Enthusiast cooler stopped working after less than a year. After some research and shopping around, we bought the Haier 8 bottle cooler for red wine. (We own a much more expensive Cusinart 8 bottle for white wine.) Although it takes a little while to reach the desired temperature, the Haier remains constant and accurate. It is a little noisy but we don't mind since its in the basement. Delivery was prompt and we are happy with this product. Good machine at a great price.

Honest reviews on Haier HVTM08ABS 8-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls

The dimensions for this Haier HVTM08ABS are incorrect on the website and on the box.

The actual height is 18", which is almost 2" taller than what is stated on the box (16 1/5") and on the website (also 16 1/5").

The actual width is 9 15/16", which is close enough to 9.9", which is on the box and the website.

The actual depth is 20 3/8", which is about an inch less than the 21.3", which is on the box and the website.

The actual dimensions are: 9-15/16" Wide, 20-3/8" Deep, 18" High.

The dimensions on the Amazon product page are: 9.9 x 16.2 x 21.3 inches. (as of the date of this review)

The dimensions printed on the product box are 9 9/10" Wide, 21 3/10" Deep, 16 1/5" High.

They actually have the wrong dimensions on the box! My cabinets are 17 3/4" above my countertops, so this will not fit.

I purchased this product with one thing in mind, 22 ounce bottles of beer. Most beers are best served in the 50 degree temperature range, and I often found myself overchilling beers in my full size fridge. Frustrated by this, I set out to find a solution.

I wanted a beer fridge, but it appears that most beer fridges are designed with cans in mind. I drink a lot of craft beers, so the majority of my beer comes in 22 ounce bottle form, or just regular 12 ounce bottles. Rarely does a craft beer come in a can. This product satisfied my needs by allowing me to chill 8x 22 ounce bottles with ease.

The price for this product is perfect. I snagged it when Amazon dropped down to $85 for one weekend, and I couldn't be happier about the price paid. I would have gladly paid a little more, if there was additional space for some 12 ounce bottles too, but I know that's asking a bit much.

As for features, the touchscreen temperature gauge is easy to read and use. There is a light inside the unit that can be accessed via the touch screen, however it doesn't really serve much of a purpose. The bottles are so close together that a little LED light shining from above won't do much. The unit itself is quiet and cool. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, beer or wine drinkers alike!

Well, it might not have 101 obvious uses, but given some time I bet I can come up with a few dozen tasks this little baby is perfect for. I bought it primarily for use in the kitchen, as I was lacking a method of checking the surface temperature of my frying surfaces on the stovetop. Stovetops are not precision controlled, and high on one may be medium on another, depending on if its an open flame, glass/ceramic enclosed electric element, or raised element. Now I can put my favorite pans on the stove on medium, and watch how long each one takes to get to certain key temperatures for optimal cooking. I use this primarily when shallow frying items, opposed to deep frying. The temperature is off a little between the top surface of the oil and the bottom, but overall its an accurate way to fry small items you'll need to flip once, like a pan of good ol' fried chicken wings, fries, or perogies.

Its also great if you have an electric griddle and want to regulate the temperature, or check the temperature compared to the built in thermostat. Shine the lazer in your oven aimed at the back wall where you'd normally install an oven thermometer, right upon opening the door so you don't let much heat out. This is also good for the grill to check how hot your coals are, and to even see how well your air conditioner is working. When I am cooking, I'll frequently shine the lazer on my outside and inside walls around me to see the average temperature in the room. of course, the outside walls are a degree or two cooler at night, and warmer during the day. :)

The price is *very* right for this item. other similar products cost $150+. I've only had this thermometer for a few weeks now, but I use it daily and it's worked well sofar. I'd reccomend it highly as a household gadget that might surprise you one day by letting you solve a problem you normally wouldn't have a tool for. :)

This has really made a difference in the kitchen, believe it or not. I've found that I've not let the saute pans heat up to the right temperature before throwing in the food. No more guessing. It's also handy around the house. It's accurate from many feet away. I've given this as a gift now to two people, and they've had similar fun and usefulness with it.

Purchased the Maverick Laser Surface Thermometer to chart water temperatures for a residential "pump and dump" Water Furnace heat pump. It worked fine for about five months, then started showing obviously erroneous readings. Changed to new batteries, but no improvement. This gadget has never been dropped, exposed to extreme temperatures, or abused in any way. The 90-day warranty is past, so no help there.

The product looks great and works great out of the package.... however, I bought 16 of them as gifts for our sales team and we opened them all to include them in another package. When we had all 16 opened at the same time, we tested the temperature variance between different units. Some of the units were off by as much as 10 degrees when tested side by side.

so if a few degrees off will not worry you... this is a great product and a great price.

It turns on and it turns off, that's about the only good thing about this unit.

If I set it to 69 degrees at night, I wake up to a hot house with the thermostat reading 78 degrees. What's up with that?

Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

I've been wanting a deep fat fryer for years. I didn't want to deal with most units as they hold 3 or 4 quarts of oil. This little guy only holds 1 quart max. It will even work fine with just half a quart of oil. So far I'm very happy using vegetable oil. It heats up in a couple minutes. It cooks quickly and with the lid, it doesn't make a mess. The unit is quite small so if you're going to cook for more than 2 people, get a bigger unit. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it. I think I'll make some fish fillets and french fries, AKA: fish-n-chips for lunch today. I got this on sale but it's still worth the price. I've been using it often for over a month now and the only con so far is that it doesn't clean itself. To the person who couldn't get the lid to close: Just tilt the basket a little, it will close just fine.

got tired of oil spatters allover the stove and backwall....so i got this hoping somehting good would come out if it.

used it twice. yes....id RATHER CLEAN OIL SPLATTER OFF THE WALL AND STAINLESS STEEL STOVE!

noone mentions...the actual disk the oil sits in is non removable...so you have to spill the oil out and without a spot it drips and runs everywhere.

the baskett......lets just say that after its second use it got rusty....go figure that concept out.

dont even care to mention that any breading if not all just stuck to the basket.

the plug is fine...some people had problems with theirs i guess....mine is ok. it barely sticks on but i understand why it has to be so easy to come off. its a container with hot oil last thing you need is it spilling allover.

do yourself the favor of not spending the money. these mini stupidities are not worth your money. take a pan....hell go buy a small wok with a lid....its gonna work a MILLION times better than some stupid mini deep fryer i spend 40 minutes cleaning by hand....yes...its electric and yes the disk is non removable so you had to clean the damn thing by hand with a wet cloth....cant even put it in the sink.

I got this little fryer for my girlfriend on her birthday. There are only two of us in the house but we have a lot of friends that come over all the time. We LOVE making fried foods with this little guy! Between fries, pizza rolls, fried tofu, fried pickles etc this little guy is amazing! First of all I love how you don't have to use a crap-ton of oil to make it work. Easy to clean and keep it does not hit your money hard when you have to re-up on your oil. Its small I doubted myself when I bought it at first but I never regret getting it We use it at least 3 times a week loven it! It's not family sized but it's perfect for 2-4 people and quick frying is a snap :D

I bought this item for my parents.It took 3 shipments to get one that didn't have broken glass doors. It was sent in two boxes but Amazon only sent 1 return shipping label. After numerous phone calls they finally understood and sent another. This happened with both of the returns.The product(once we got one that wasn't broken)worked well.My parents love the look and the warmth it produces.

Honest reviews on Dimplex CFP3920BW 20-Inch Electric Fireplace, Burnished Walnut

Sadly, my fireplace was shipped without a piece, the bracket to hold the glass panel in. The panel still fits snug, and until I get the piece from Customer Service, it seems to stay in place fine anyway. The flame effect is surprisingly,very good. I did not expect it to be as life-like as it turns out. The heater is very quiet, and actually warms both my living room and dining room, an area approximately 30 x 15, to a comfortable degree. I agree with the poster above that a separate setting for the thermostat and flame would have been great. Also, since it is RF, it doesn't work with my Harmony One remote, but the remote is small and only has an "on" and an "off" button. One strange thing, I looked on the Dimplex site, and can not find this model. Even if it was a closeout, shouldn't they still list the model?

I received this last evening. It arrived in two large boxes and required assembly. It is the assembly instructions that prevent me from giving the fireplace 5 stars. While the mantle/hearth was relatively intuitive, the fireplace connections to the hearth were separate and not as simple as they could have been. There is little good instruction regarding the installation of the glass front (which was pristine upon arrival).

Now to the good: Wow! The fireplace, both wood and fake fire are top quality when compared to others I've seen in big box retailers and it was considerably less money.

The remote turns on and off the unit only which makes good sense to me. The only reason I would have to adjust the thermostat would be if I were to move the fireplace to a different room. The thermostat is easily adjustable and the flame and heat can be controlled separately. The noise made from the unit is less than the space heater I'd been using in the basement and is certainly far more attractive.

I'm very pleased with the quality, fit, finish and look of this unit and I expect to enjoy it for years to come.

UPDATE: I've had this heater for almost two years now (12/12)and while I will admit that the heater has gotten a bit noisier, it's still more quiet than most other free-standing heaters. The flame and all other components are as good as the day I put it together. It heats well and the flames are as vibrant as ever.

Best Deals on E-ware Deep Fryer 1.2Lt Counter Top Series

This little fryer works great for 1-2 servings, and it takes up a small amount of space so it works well for someone in an apartment. There are some reviews complaining about the short, magnetic cord but we found it works quite well as long as you don't stretch the cord out too far. Since pulling the unit close to the edge of the counter top is dangerous, this acts as a safety measure too.

Honest reviews on E-ware Deep Fryer 1.2Lt Counter Top Series

This is a great machine for small jobs. I can fry an entire batch of mozzarella sticks, no problem. Chicken and fries requires several batches, which is fine.

The oil maintains its quality over anywhere from 15-20 sessions, and the oil heats up so quickly! I just store it in the fridge and pull it out when I'm ready to use it again. Washes fairly easily. The basket is really convenient, compared to a Fry Daddy with a slotted spatula.

Update: 11/20/2011

Used the device this morning to fry some mozzarella sticks. Tried it again this afternoon for French fries and it simply doesn't work. The lid doesn't open, the heating element won't come on. I didn't drop it, clean it, or anything. Just put it in the refrigerator for storage.

This is most certainly one of the worst items I have bought in the past few years.

I tried to plug the cord into the back of the fryer... and it broke. There is nothing inside the machine, behind the plug, to hold the plug in, so just push on it a bit too hard and it will break. That the plug of a machine using boiling oil should break and fall into the machine is simply unacceptable and a real hazard...

I didn't even get to use the fryer!

Complete waste of money!

I am not buying anything from this brand again and this is the last time I buy appliance on Amazon because I now have to go through the whole ordeal of shipping it back as opposed to just returning it to a store...

It sounds silly, but the handle on the top of this space heater increases its portability tenfold. It's very light, and because it only takes one hand to move it around, I'm constantly switching it from the floor to an end table. The many different heat settings mean that you can be very picky about the heat blasting out at you.

Another feature that I find preferable is that it heats constantly, unlike some space heaters which practically light you on fire but come on only intermittently. This handy space heater stays at the temperature you choose the entire time. I've run this thing for 10 hours at a time with no ill effects. It lasted through last winter and is still going strong this winter. When I had the flu for a couple of weeks, I hunkered down on my couch with this on the coffee table and baked myself every single night for the entire night.

I adore this thing and I'm about to order another to keep in my office. (I live in a house that was built in 1825 so it can be a little drafty. Because all the rooms are small and the house is full of doors just for the purpose of trapping heat, it's more energy efficient for me to squirrel myself away in my office with the door shut and the space heater on than to crank the furnace in the entire house up.

EDIT 9/19/2013: This thing is still going strong. During the winter, my programmed thermostats turn the house temp way down, so at night I close the doors to my room and bake myself all night. This heater has never once let me down. At this point, I can't tell you how many nights it's run the entire night, 8+ hours, every night during the winter months. It still works just as great now as the day I first got it. I LOVE this heater.

I bought this heater in November 2010 from another seller. I first used it in a room that did not have a carpeted floor and it provided good heat for its size although the temperature was only about 60-degrees F so it really wasn't much of a test. At the end of the month when the temperature dropped to the 40s and 30s at night, I used the heater in a rather small 15' x 13' carpeted room and almost froze until I realized this: the heater blows its heat downward toward the floor. I was about to return it for being defective until I decided to try sitting it on a small box I had. After I put it on the box, it started heating the entire room with no problem at all even getting too hot at the highest setting. The fact that it blows downward could be a defect, but I am thinking that because this is actually a utility heater, it is made for non-carpeted rooms which helps bounce the heat around the room or keep it from igniting items directly in front of it although I could be wrong.

For the quality, this heater is very durable and sturdy. It has a very solid feel to it, with a good weight. Nor does it feel or look cheaply made. The fan sound is a bit noticeable compared to my tower heater, but it isn't loud as to hinder sleeping or watching tv. One thing about the heater is that the fan is always on high, but, in my opinion, that is good for low heat settings because it still helps distribute the heat throughout the room. The thermostat isn't digital but works very well. If the temperature is constant outside, the heater keeps the room at a fairly even temperature. And, I like the fact that I can turn the knob to exactly where I want it rather than it being set at say 5 degree increments the way my tower heater is.

This heater and all of its comparable models do use quite a bit of electricity. I have noticed that this heater will use about 36 kilowatts in a 24-hour period. That is about $4 $6 a day depending on the electric company rates.

I have used this heater every day for the past month with no problems at all other than having to sit in on a box. So, overall, I give it 4 stars. The only thing taking away is the fact that I have to sit it on the box, the slightly audible fan noise and the amount of electricity it uses. But those are all very minor, in my opinion, for the comfort it provides.

(sorry for the VERY poor video quality my little digital camera isn't exactly designed for making movies and the sound does not pick up very well either; hope you can turn up your volume and still get the gist!)

This video briefly compares the Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater, and a Dr Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater 1500W, Dual Heating System, UL Listed.**, with the spotlight on the Lasko 675945 Stanley 12-Inch Ceramic Utility Heater. While all three heaters are relatively energy efficient choices each have various strong and weak points which are discussed, but the Stanley model is a BIG winner in a small package! It costs the least and heats even a large room just about as fast and as well as my old favorite, Dr. Heater.

Important: the design of this model produces directional heat it blows on an angle towards the floor. On hard surfaces like tile or hardwood this is a huge plus for quick distribution of heat. When I use this in a carpeted area, the carpet will absorb the heat and the room takes longer to warm unless I put the heater on heat resistant surface a couple of feet above the floor like on a small end table.

Edited to add: the description states "built-in safety features, which consist of a self-regulating ceramic heating element and automatic overheat protection", but please be aware that this unit appears NOT to have a tip-over shut off feature.

The video highlights differences in features and functions of each, including demonstrating how fast and how hot each unit gets comparatively.

Uses about 36kwh per 24hrs; you can use your electric bill to find your rate to see what this unit will cost to run day to day.

No word on longevity as this is a new purchase for me. Very pleased with this item so far though and happy to recommend!

Sturdy, with a great handle, so it's easy to pick up and move around. But no turn off "tip over" switch. I almost started a fire on the carpet with this heater turned over. Most of my other space heater turn off. So do not use in a children's area, could be dangerous. It's very industrial looking but it's only looks. The output is no more than any other of its size and it pulls a LOT of electricity for the output you get. Thermostat is a joke, doesn't regulate a steady temp at all. THE WORST is the noise...IT'S THE NOISIEST HEATER I HAVE EVER HAD...and it varies with its noise, in cycles like a snoring person!...LOL...Anyways, the bottom line was the cost vs efficiency and this heater fails.
