I bought 4 of these oscillating Warmwave heaters and love them. They can quickly concentrate heat on me at my desk or in the kitchen. Therefore, even when they are located in a big room, I don't have to wait for the entire room to heat up. Also, they are much safer than a quartz heater, so I can place one close to me and walk away temporarily.

I bought this heater for my 89 yr old mother, who is always cold when she visits Colorado from her home in Florida. It was bigger than I planned on buying, but is extremely quiet! It also has a thermostat so it turns off when it gets warm enough in her bedroom. She could leave it on overnight without worrying about it getting too hot in her small room while she was sleeping. She was delighted with it.

I wish I read more reviews before purchasing this unit. As I write I'm shivering because even at 4 feet from my chair it is quite cold in my computer room for which I purchased this inefficient unit. It was an impulse buy without doing the necessary work of research. After an hour or two it might take the chill off a room but as far as really warming it up it just pumps out lukewarm air. I borrowed a friends (different brand) this fall and it was so much more effective at warming up the space I was in. Expecting this one to work the same because the price was right was a big mistake.

It works as if half the unit is not turning on. Unfortunately I threw the box away so I'll keep it until I can replace it and then get rid of it.

Bought this 3 years ago for my baby's room. (the coldest room in the house) It worked great, stores well and this is the 3 winter of using it and it still works great. I am buying another one for my daughter in her basement room. It does well at heating up the whole room (bedroom) I have not used this in bigger open rooms to see how it works however it works great for smaller rooms, has the auto shut off when tipped, and also has the temp control, and shuts off when room is warm. Love this heater!

Received the unit and although it was a bit larger than I expected, it met our needs, at least until it started intermittent, random beeping. After contacting the company and receiving a very quick response, I was told a certain number of units were defective in this regard and that I should return the unit for full replacement.

Thus far, the second unit seems to be working as advertised. If you order one and it has the "random beeping" problem, be sure to return it immediately for replacement!

I gave this to my neice for Christmas and they love it. It has been accurate, easy to read, and fun to use. The remote sensor is great! It's nice to wake up to what the temperature is inside and outside. Works just as advertised -I'd buy it again.

Picked this up as an inexpensive replacement for a wall unit that died of old age. It was a bit smaller than I expected (should have read the specs more carefully). I set the outdoor sensor next to the indoor unit for about an hour. The outside unit reported about two degrees higher. As long as that remains consistent, it's easy enough to correct. There's also a min/max history so you can see temperature range over a given time.

The unit has a little stand for vertical mounting and this is probably a better way to use it. It could easily go on a desk or a nightstand. Be aware that you must manually set the time. This does not pick up broadcast time.

Update: After having this in use for a couple of months, I must report that the transmitter range is much lower than advertised. Even at a line-of-sight distance of about 25 feet, the receiver often can't pick up the signal. I've marked it down one more star as a result of this experience.

Although the product itself did not meet my expectations, the seller went above and beyond what I consider to be excellent customer service. It was my fault I didn't read the reviews and discovered this product to not provide the outside temp in an accurate manner. However, the seller offered to refund my money and allow me to keep the item since it does work well for inside temps as well as time. In this day and age, a seller like that who contacted me the minute he saw my original review and values those comments is rare.

Robert@ Three Boys Farms gives a good overview on the Coolbot. I use the coolbot in my coolroom to keep grapes around 39 degrees F. before I crush. What I have to offer in terms of a review is a demystification of the product for any potential user that would like to know exactly how it works. To begin, it doesn't 'turbo-charge' your air-conditioner. This is largely hyperbole. There is definitely no magic involved.

The Coolbot consists of three probes, a thermometer, a temperature probe, and a heater probe all leading back into a single well sealed package. Here is how it works. After removing the grill from the AC unit you will locate the thermostatic sensor which is affixed to the cooling fins of the AC unit. This temperature sensor is naturally responsible for cycling the AC unit on and off. You will now take the AC's temperature probe and place it in contact with (secure beside) the Coolbot heater probe. The second probe on the Coolbot is a temperature sensor which is placed in the fins of the AC unit approximately where you removed the AC temp. probe.

The heater probe on the Coolbot is in direct contact with the AC's thermostat. The Coolbot heater probe simply heats up the AC's thermostat thereby causing the AC unit to sense a warmer temperature than what actually exists in the cool room. The second probe of the coolbot monitors the temperature of the AC fins so that the Unit doesn't ice up. Ron has taken an extremely simple concept, one that isn't wholly original and created an excellent, dependable, durable and vastly overpriced product that will do exactly what it warrants. I am very pleased with its performance.

Like Most intelligent farmers necessity and budget are always in play. The need for a commercially available refrigeration unit is part of all farms cool down and storage requirements, yet the availability of affordable

equipment to small farms does not exist, unless it is taken back to the purest form of design and function.

What Ron has done here is recognized that the limits imposed by residential A/C unit manufactures, specifically the

restriction of low temperatures by thermostatic control, can be manipulated. In designing the Cool-Bot he did several things;

1. energy conservation, large commercial units are power hogs,typically three phase 400-600 amps, and they are an antiquated, inefficient method of cooling, specifically taking copious volumes of cold air and moving it into a space that is usually poorly designed and has huge air leaks, the net result is waste, both in terms of energy, and product stored as air mass on leafy greens desiccates and wilts foliage, so unless your stored product is potatoes, you want coiling without excessive moisture robbing air mass. Cool-Bot delivers through your Energy Star unit, cold air without damaging the crop, and saves big money in energy costs, and efficiency.

2. Back up, when your space requires multiple units to achieve the desired level of cooling needed, you simply run more window units, again the often overlooked benefit here is the built in back up. If your commercial unit goes down, your product temps go up and spoil. The repair cost is high, and you still have one unit. With multiple Cool-Bots, you have an emergency back up in place, if a unit went down, the others can maintain temps for that period while you replaced that A/C unit, and since it has not been modified whatsoever, it is under a factory warranty. Now you have continued cooling during the repair or change out, something not offered by commercial refrigeration, with them your down, and your out.

3. Seasonal change. During cooler periods of the year with a multiple unit cooler you have the option of shutting down several of the A/C units for additional energy savings, with the big units, its on or off. So it is time to ask yourself, who brings the best things to life? not just those guys, but us farmers, we feed you, and increase your health with safe local foods, and design and build products that are frugal, and efficient. The highest praise a farmer or designer can receive is from his peers, and I highly recommend Cool-Bot to anyone, for a multitude of purposes. It is the only intelligent choice for efficient energy conscious cooling, and the only choice for 3 Boys Farm, a 365, 24/7 large grower of hydroponic and organic produce. Way to go Ron!

ElectroWarmth Heated Mattress Pads Reviews

Electrowarmth M54Fd Double Full Two Controls Heated Mattress Pad, 54-Inch by 74-Inch
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I'm a big fan of heated mattress pads (vs electric blankets). They seem to last longer (I've had several electric blankets break in the last few years), the heat is more even, and I like the heat from below rather than above. I've used an electric mattress pad on my own bed for several years now and been very happy with it. I picked up this twin-size pad for my 8 year old son, who was envious of my warm bed. He loves it! We turn it on about 15 minutes before bed, and he always climbs into a warm bed. We usually turn it off after he gets into bed, but on some cold nights he's left it on "Low" and gone right to sleep. It's a great feeling to have a warm bed, especially when the house is cold!

Update, 3 years later:

Unlike other electric blankets and mattress warmers I've purchased over the last 15 or so years, this one is STILL heating like new! I do have a couple of gripes that may or may not be issues for you:

The skirt that keeps the warmer snug against the mattress is a bit flimsy. After seasonally changing it a few times, the stitching ripped out along one edge. Ever since, I've been careful to treat it gently, and it hasn't gotten worse, so just remember to actually walk around your mattress to remove it from each corner, and don't try to whip it off the corners from the opposite side of the bed. But this isn't why I've lowered my rating.

You can't use this warmer with a timer or any sort of remote-operated outlet (like a home-automation, x-10, z-wave, insteon, or wifi outlet, or even a switched outlet). If the power to your outlet has been off, and gets switched on, the warmer still has to be manually turned on with its controls. Why is this a big issue for me? Well, I've been installing home-automation switches and outlets so that I can turn devices on and off with my iPhone, and this is definitely one of those devices that I want to control remotely (or even put on a timer). I frequently forget to trudge upstairs and turn the warmer on an hour before bed, and I'd like to be able to do it while watching TV downstairs, or simply have the knowledge that a simple timer will do it for me. Hence, I'm dinging them, in the hope that you, like I, find 3-star reviews to be the ones with the most helpful information for otherwise potentially great products.

I spoke with an Electrowarmth representative who said that this feature has been requested (although infrequently), and that she knew of no plans to alter the functionality. If this feature is important to you, please call them and request it!

Having tired of climbing into a cold bed during the winter and having to crank up the expensive to run furnace, I was interested in a quality heated mattress pad.

Suffice it to say, Electrowarmth delivers a fine quality USA made safe product that works exactly as advertised. It warms to set temp in about 10 minutes or so and keeps it constant all night. The fully electronic control means no annoying clicks and it is softly lit when you press the temperature buttons. The light glows for about 10 or so seconds then goes off.

The unit will run 10 hours once you turn it on. If you turn off but leave it plugged in, it will remember your last setting from L to H with 1-9 in between.

The only disadvantage I can see is the fact the wiring on the control means it is placed backward on the nightstand.

Given the fact I sleep with a comforter and a cotton top blanket, the setting marked 4 is more than enough to warm the mattress.

The cords are amply long to reach from bottom of bed to unit and still reach an outlet close by. It is machine washable and UL listed.

I recommend this product made in America, highly.

I purchased this queen mattress pad because it had the option of having only one remote and that's what I really wanted. It was intended to be for my second home as I already have one in my main home. When I opened this pad today I could immediately feel the wires in it right through the fabric. It also has a big direction/warning sheet (approx 6x8 in size) that's made of very stiff paper right on the top corner of the pad so when you are in bed, it would end up being right under your pillow where you could certainly feel it (and hear it) through your sheet. After paying twice the amount as I did my original mattress pad, I would expect at least equal or better quality. This one is already in the package to be returned. The cheaper pads out there are far better than this one!

Honest reviews on ElectroWarmth Heated Mattress Pads

The pad is well construced. The duel control for the full size bed was a must and glad to have found one. The heating is great. But we have a problem. We can't keep the bottom sheet in place due to the shiny and slippery covering of the pad. It is a constant battle. Every time one of us turns over or moves around the sheet either bunches up or comes off the edges, top, bottom or sides. Very aggravating. We would like to have a solution. We have tried different sheet fabrics.

Oster CKSTDFZM55 3-Liter Cool Touch Deep Fryer, Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I've had 4 or 5 "home" deep fryers in the past few years and this one is the best so far. First, it's large enough to actually fry something, don't know how others use the ones that are one 1 or 2 liters. It'll keep the temp better when cooking too.

The cool touch and compact form are great, you can store it immediately after use if necessary without burning yourself on hot metal sides. Controls are simple and temp lights tell you when you're ready to fry. Basket functions well enough on it's hinged system. No handles sticking out when you're done either.

I caught it for under $50 so if I can get a couple of years out of it I'm happy.

FRENCH FRY TIP:

I've seen many people complain about these units not being hot enough and fries coming out soggy. This is likely not the fryer's fault. I cook with light olive oil mix (for health reasons not that it's the best for the job) but it really works IF you do one simple thing, boil the cut potatoes for a few minutes with a half cup of vinegar to the water, dry with paper towel and they come out crispy almost every time without the overboil issues.

I love this deep fryer! Our old one didn't have the removable basket, and you couldn't lower the handle once the lid was shut, and it didn't have the timer or the filtersthe list goes on! I also love that fact that you can completely disassemble it and wash the entire thing! The basket looks really small compared to my other one but did some actually comparison with food quantity and they actually hold about the same amount. Really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it!

Best Deals on Oster CKSTDFZM55 3-Liter Cool Touch Deep Fryer, Black

The fryer has performed flawlessly. I use it 2 3 times a week and have not been disappointed yet. The oil heats up fairly quickly and it is able to maintain temperature. The best feature of this fryer is the easy of changing oil and cleaning everything you need to clean comes apart and can be cleaned over a sink (except you cannot immerse the control unit in water of course). The basket is likewise easy to clean and it is well designed and constructed.

Follow-up: After using the fryer for approximately a month (2-3 times a week), the control panel plastic, where the heating element exits, melted and began to smoke. I turned the unit off and unplugged it immediately. Glad that I was monitoring it at the time don't know how bad it would have gotten (it was hot enough to a fire). I contacted Oster by email (which is now Sunbeam and apparently managed by a company named Jarden). My email was answered the following day wherein they offered me a different model (the M70) as a replacement fryer, claiming that the M55 model was out of stock and it was unknown when it would be back in stock. I agreed to the M70 and the replacement was delivered within a week by UPS (even before the broken unit was returned) no charge. A UPS shipping label was sent in the mail for the return of the M55 no charge. The M70 is a 4 liter unit and not made as well as the M55 but, so far, it hasn't melted guess we'll see if it holds up. So, I am disappointed that the M55 failed but I am impressed with the customer service and prompt response to the problem.

It looks really good in the shower and it IS a rain shower as advertised, however, the short arm it comes with is useless... if you buy this shower head you need to buy a longer arm. The water pressure that comes through it could be stonger but it works okay, I just stand under it longer to get my thick hair wet. Besides, I think all the rain showers are like that.

For a rain shower head it's of good quality and looks great, but the shower arm is unacceptable in my opinion. They shouldn't include it, as it just makes people angry. If you don't plan to buy a longer shower arm with the purchase of this shower head, then don't buy it. I don't regret my purchase though I just wish I would have known I'd need a longer arm... And that's the reason I'm only giving 3 stars.

-I'm using this thing in my shop with a duct system attached to the torpedo and the comfort range I set on this gizmo ain't right on the nut but close. By the time my shop starts to cool down, and it's insulated, just to the point where you cann't work in shirt sleeves, it kicks on.

Not exact temp but close enough to keep my garage warm while I work in the winter. I almost returned this when I first bought it because I thought it wasn't working. It works, just keep in mind it's not like your house furnace thermostat. It has a wider temperature range before it kicks on and off. After using it all winter I realized its better this way since it doesn't kick on and off as often.

This is being used with a 60,0000 BTU Ready Heater. I hung the thermostat on the wall. Seems very well made.

Worked for 2 minutes and then my torpedo heater motor froze the bushings so the unit is now dead. Waiting on a replacement to get back in business.

Part I didn't like is that the manufacturer appears to have abandoned making these with the capillary tubes and is using a cheaper bi-metal thermostat. Not as robust as the older units but should work for years.

Update on 26FEB13:

Thermostat didn't fail, torpedo heater motor failed. Replaced motor on Forced Air Heater and gave this thermostat a whirl again. Very disappointed with the performance of this unit in that there is about 20 degrees between on/off with this thermostatic controller. That said, you bring the environment up to temperature and the heater shuts off correctly but you will be running for your jacket before this unit ever turns back on. Total waste of money and that's too bad because it's a good idea.

The built-in thermostats on some forced air heaters are much more precise than these units.

If your heater doesn't have a built-in thermostat, you will be better served by picking up a cheap thermostat for the house, a double gang box and rolling your own.

Problem for me is that I already threw away the box so I won't be able to return for a refund.

I purchased this window air conditioner at a Southern California Walmart in July, 2003 for $125. After lugging it home, I installed it in my bedroom(15X15)window. It worked well during that summer, but now (June, 2004) it no longer cools sufficiently it has become more like a window fan. I cycled it off and on every month during the past winter (Southern California style)as advised in the included instruction manual. The manual states a one year free maintenance guarantee, but doesn't tell you about the $50/hour diagnostic charge levied by their affiliated independent service organization.

Let me ask all the readers out there an important question. How many times have you taken your air conditioner out of your window come October or November, and when you put it back in May or June, plug it in and turn it on, you discover that it's no longer capable of blowing cold air? This seems to happen ALL the time with Goldstar air conditioners. When it does happen, the AC is done so you're better off getting another one. A hot summer such as the one we Americans are experiencing this year in 2012 can be downright *brutal* and... it happened to me just last week with the kitchen air conditioner. My oh my is it mighty hot in here, especially when it's 4 in the afternoon, cooking on the stove, 100 smoldering degrees outside and no wind blowing whatsoever. Not a pleasant situation to find yourself in...

I give this model 4 stars because it works for up to 5 years at least, but when it STOPS working there will be no warning signs ahead of time. You've been warned.

This is a nice 3-setting standard oil heater, and it DOES have a tip-over protection feature, unlike many.

Gets hot to the touch not a safety concern for adults but could be for younger children. Not sure what the other reviewer is referring to regarding the u-bolts. It took a sec to figure out how to attach them but they work just fine and hold the wheel bases on securely. My only quibble is that the wheels are not that great not large enough to roll the unit easily.

These oil-filled radiator-type heaters are a real bargain! (and i don't use that word often, or lightly). These things are definite cost-cutters! I have lowered my electric bill for heating from $90 per month, to a varying degree of $30 TO $40 per month, and the $40 bill occurs only when it's especially cold outside. This item runs on 110 Volt wall socket current (unlike the ELECTRICITY-MUNCHING 220 Volt unit in the ceiling, which is actually the A/C unit being used as a heat pump, which is NOT it's intended use, even though it can perform that function, but is SO INEFFICIENT while doing so). I use one of these to keep an entire 800 square foot, 1 bedroom apartment warm-as-needed in the winter, at over 4,000 feet in elevation in northern Arizona. Granted, we don't have winters here like back in my state of origin, Wisconsin. But, when it does get cold here, all i do is crank this baby up to 3/4's of maximum to warm it up, and then lower it to about 50% to maintain the desired temperature, and my electric bill still doesn't reach $50 per month! Quite a break from the old $90 per month! It is NOT recommended that you use a fan with this unit, as blowing air across it messes with the built-in thermostat, but at the coldest times, i do use a small 9 inch fan, set on the lowest speed, either drawing from in front of it, or blowing just over the top of it from behind (you'll find that if you do point a fan directly at it--i did, being me, i had to test it...lol--it will cause so much "SNAPPIN', CRACKLIN' & POPPIN'" that you wouldn't want to continue that VERY noisy way anyway (the internal oil gets cooled too fast as it rises, by the air moving over it from a direct blast from even a small fan, causing it to literally "snap, crackle & pop" when the cooler oil comes back in contact with the hotter oil inside...try it for a few minutes when you get this, you won't hurt it, and you'll see what i mean. It also will snap crackle & pop a bit when it's new out-of-the-box, but this goes away in a few minutes). With a small fan either drawing from the front, from about 2 feet away, or blowing just over the top of it, from about 2 feet behind, you'll have more heat than you know what to do with. And actually, once the room is warmed (and in my case, when all 800 square feet of my 1 bedroom apartment is warmed), it will keep it warm & toasty (sometimes too warm & toasty) all by itself, without any air-flow from a fan. My neighbor, who is our maintenance man at our apartment complex, who lives in a 2 bedroom, 1,250 square foot apartment, introduced me to these on a maintenance call. He uses 2 of these, only because his apartment is a 2 bedroom, with about 55% more square footage than mine. He said he has to be careful not to leave the thermostat set very high, or he "cooks" his family. But, the thing that really got my attention when we talked about these, was that his electric bill went from $120 per month using his A/C unit as a heat pump, to NO MORE THAN $70 per month with two of these, and he said even at the coldest times, he keeps his set at no more than 50%, and uses no fan! Take my word for it folks, if you're looking to save money on your heating bill, whether you have electric-generated heat, or gas-generated heat, or whatever-generated heat, these little helpers WILL save you money! Bank on it! I don't use my heat pump AT ALL anymore! Neither does the maintenance man. And the cost of one unit, for a 1 bedroom apartment, will be recouped in about one month's saving on your electric bill! Same math works for 2 of these units for a 2 bedroom apartment. A great buy! And WAY more efficient than either the ceramic or coil-type forced-air electric heaters. The only thing is, that they don't heat as fast as those other forced-air units, but once they are warmed up, the heat is constant, AND CHEAP!!

The last advice i'll give you is this...BUY THIS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS! I bought mine last July (i waited 'til now to write my review, because i wanted to see exactly how well it performed), because at the time, i paid only $34.99, with FREE Super-Saver shipping, when i bought this in July of 2011! (out of season). During the winter months, when demand for these is up (in season), they go way up in price, but are still worth it at $48.94 (the advertised price as of the time of this review).

Literally, the third time I used it, it gave a visible big spark (it comes with scary electric shortage sound) then died. I think this product can pose fire hazard.

Thinking backward, luckily I was right standing by the heater at the time of incidence (as it was just turned on), so I pulled off the wall plug quickly. Don't know if I was not there what would happen!

I got what I paid for, but certainly not expecting something scary like this.

I end up bought the honeywell type which comes with nice temperature control.

The Heater works well, and its cord is very long so it is quite mobile if limited to certain outlets.

Great heater, not like a regular fan heater but it does pretty well keeping a room warm. Recommend buying it if you need something that requires less wattage.

These are the best heaters. I have 1 in my hot tub house ( I live in Ohio) and it is perfect. It doesn't run all day like my old one did. I also use 1 in my master bath as the room is huge and the register just doesn't warm the room enough

I purchased one of these on sale at a local hardware store. Wished I had purchased all 4 they had available. So off to Amazon. They are powerful, and heat a large room. The thermostat feature is what makes them really indispensable. In Wyoming in an all electric house, they have kept my rooms warm without breaking the bank. You won't be disappointed.

I had borrowed a Pelonix heater which was extremely easy to operate,could be set at temperatures varying by one degree increments, would remain in this mode until turned off, and was somewhat cheaper than the Lasko machine you shipped me which has none of these features. Please let me know if you carry the Pelonix line. Robert Cryan

I researched for a long time before purchasing this Lasko heater last winter. I bought one and ran a test for a month to see if A)the heater would heat up a rather large living room, and B)whether my electric bill would go down. So, with my heat pump thermostat set on 65, we used this unit in our living area all last winter. Our electric bill was drastically lower! In fact, I liked the heater so much that I bought my daughter one, just to help her save money too.

Best points on the heater are the remote control, the oscillation, and the pedestal which better evenly distributes the heat. We bought 2 more smaller Lasko heaters from Amazon to basically heat up every room where we need heat this winter...and I guarantee that our electric bill will still be lower than merely using the heat pump alone. I had no idea that the heat pump ate up so much power.

Great heater!

Did not heat as well as we thought it would. The heater kept cutting off before it reached the temperature we set for.

works great for a room and not having to crank up the central air, the auto mode works great although recommend using ceiling fan to circulate air or you get hot spots

Honest reviews on 30" Digital Crmc Pdstl Heater

I did a lot of research and shopping around for a space heater and was not disappointed with this. It's provided excellent heat for a large room.

The digital remote is great so you can see the temp without having to walk across the room. The timer feature can be used in automatic mode as well so I set the temperature and have it shut off after a couple hours.

Nice heater. Easy to assemble. The remote is nice too. It has a digital temperature display. Timer, height and decent power, given the price.
