This is one of the best small heaters you can buy IMO.. I have owned one of these myself for 2 years and bought this current one on amazon for my girl friend so she can bring her living room up to temp a little better then the regular house heat does. These heaters are easy to use, there pretty quiet and I have never had any over heating issues etc.. I live in an older house and since heating the house is expensive I tend to only run this in my room when I'm home or have the day off.. I can turn this heater on when the rooms 48-55 degrees on average and watch the temp climb to 70-75 degrees within 20min.. it has no problem fighting the cold and will even start to heat up the cold hallway if I leave the door open by accident it's a pretty powerhouse unit for it's size if you ask me. The digital thermostat on it is pretty damn accurate.. i have a digital thermometer clock thingy in my room that sits around 6 feet away from the heater and it is always within 1 degree of the heater's set temp. If you got a small room, a small living room, bathroom, buy one of these you won't be sorry.

I bought this to replace one I had for years. It seems to be the only heater with an accurate thermostat. -All1500 Watt heaters give out the exact same amount of heat, whether it is a $30 box with glowing ribbons inside or a big piece of wooden furniture with a fancy looking heater inside. An oil filled radiator gives off heat when you shut it off because of how long it took to get warm in the first place. How these thing react to changing conditions is the only difference. This heater has a circuit board for clock, timer and accurate thermostat.

The heater was perfect for our 8x12 bathroom. Love the automatic off and the temperature set. Note there is a delay before the fan shuts off (good thing).

I use it in my bathroom cause there isn't any heat source.It heats the room up very quickly & it's not noisy like my old heater. I got it because Consumer Reports gave a great recommendation for its performance & affordable price

I would have given this 5 stars, as I loved it while it worked. Nice thermostat control and warmed the room nicely with fan blowing heat. BUT it stopped heating after one month of use. I saw that Consumer Reports rated this second to a $400. heater and was hopeful it would last at least one winter. I know Holmes products are cheap and only last a year at best. It does come with a one year warranty, but if you live 50 miles from civilization like I do, that's a whole lot of hassle just to get the product you bought for this very moment freezing cold! I'll never buy Holmes again. And I wish these reviews wouldn't put words in my mouth for the one star rating I don't hate it. I'm frustrated and disappointed and cold and not looking forward to the time and hassle it will take to make it right! I totally loved it while it worked! And I won't buy again from any company that only gives a one month return/exchange policy. If they did a simple exchange, I could have a working heater within the week.

A REVIEW PS: I spoke to the manufacturer (Holmes), and they couldn't have been nicer! They're sending me a new heater this week, just as I had hoped the original seller would do. They make good on their warranties, and it was no hassle at all as I had anticipated. I will buy Holmes again! They said it was highly unusual for this heater to stop heating. So I'm back to giving it 5 stars... once it arrives and is working!

Efficiently heats our small 2nd bedroom, but does so at the cost of a fairly loud "click" whenever the thermostat activates/deactivates. The click is loud enough to hear from another bedroom, and tends to wake up our 6 month old baby if he's not in deep sleep. Otherwise, the timer feature and heating power are very good, but you need to be aware of how loud that click is during an otherwise silent night. If they'd fix that annoyance, I'd give this 5 stars.

The DeLonghi EW7507EB is my first radiant heater.

I originally intended to buy the TRD0715T, however when I went to the store to look at it, my wife and I agreed the big red dial for the timer coupled with the weird off white color was simply too gaudy and not condusive to our room's design, not to mention this is 2011 hello? who still uses analog gauges??? I then figured a Digital interface for the heater would certainly make the looks far better. I again did my homework and found this heater (EW7505EB) and the Honeywell version (HWLHZ709). On the Target website, the Honeywell version had 2.5 stars after 51 reviews and many indicated serious issues. That left me with one choice the DeLonghi EW7507EB...

I did find one at Lowe's and noticed it had an additional L at the end of the part number (EW7507EBL) but realized it meant it was for Lowe's version. When I researched this unit on Lowes.com I found that 10 out of 11 gave it 5 out of 5 stars and one person gave it 4 out of 5, as well as no one reporting serious issues, thus I went ahead and bought it. (i got it for 59 bucks)

I have now used it for around a month and I can't be more pleased. It was roughly $10 dollars more than the awful gaudy white version and this one is more energy efficient since it has three temp levels rather than two.

It has a thermostat that is perfect, you can set it to come on and turn off automatically with two different timer profiles. Plus the thermostat is dead on, I put a thermometer in the room I was heating all the way across the room from the heater and the temperature I set was exactly the temperature of the room every time.

It is super quiet, it only makes a click noise when it turns on and off that is hardly noticable.

The heater is not super hot to the touch, it comes with warnings and I would definitly read them (and heed them), but it has not burnt me when I brush against it or touch it for a second or two.

It definitely produces better heat than the ceramic type heaters since it doesn't dry out the air, thus it is a more even constant heat. It also heats pretty quickly, since there are three settings, low, medium, and high, you can choose how fast you want the room to heat up. Additionally in the thermostat mode you can limit it to low and medium or all three to keep the temperature constant.

The last thing that I have only used once is when you leave your house for an extended period of time you can set it for freeze protection. The thermostat turns the heater on when the room reaches 42 degrees to prevent things from freezing. It is convenient to save the money and not have to heat the house when gone.

I love this thing and would definitely buy it again!

I have tried a number of supplimental heaters in the geust room of our older home in Seattle and this has been by far the best. It has no problems heating this 140 sq ft room with a large window on the medium power setting. Things I particularly like about this unit are a) Multiple power settings 690W, 780W, 1440W by my meter. Far better than other units which have off and on at ~1500W and therefor should really be the only appliance on a circuit or you risk flipping a breaker or worse. b) Digital Thermostat You can set the unit to within 1 degree of the tempurature you want. Far better than other units I've tried which either have some funky 'temperature' dial or a thermostat in 5 degree increments. Also the thermostat chooses the best power setting (up to the maximum you have set) for a more even heat (less overshooting and undershooting your selected temperature). c) No Fan This means it heats up the room more slowly but it's completely silent. e) Time Programable You can set different temperatures for different times of the day just like most homes now have on their main heating and cooling systems (from personal experience this has saved me 15-20% on heating bills over running at a constant temperature). d) Size It's not too large and reasonably light for this style of heater and will pack away into a small closet when not in use.

On the down side no matter how small they are, oil radiant heaters are ugly and the black color makes it stand out even more. Also it would be nice if it had and handle for lifting it. All in all though I'm very happy.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi EW7507EB Oil Filled Radiator Heater Black 1500W

I bought this heater about a month ago and have been very pleased with it. I use it in my 18 month old bedroom. This is my second DeLonghi heater, first one was a different model but both have worked great. I would recommend spending the extra money for the digital temp. controller. My other heater doesn't have this feature and its a pain trying to guess what setting to put it on to get the right temp. It does have the comfort zone setting but thats too warm for me while I sleep in my bedroom. The new heater is great, you just set it at any temp. and it holds it there. The only negative I would say about the heater is it does not show you what the actual room temp. is. It's not too hard to figure out though. Just raise the temp up or down until you see the heater kick on then you know that is the room temp. Some other reviews mention a loud click when the heater turns on. Unless you have dog ears you are not going to notice it. Also some reviews talked about a smell. I have never experienced this with either heater I have bought. The instructions do mention putting the heater outside for a burn off period but I never did. Pulled it right out of the box and plugged it in. No smell. Great product!

Bought this model at Lowe's after reading the reviews. It is a great unit. Has Remote control and desired temperature setting between 41 degrees and 95 degrees F. The Remote will let user set the temperature higher or lower, turn Off the unit, or set the unit for Frost Protection.

Three lights on front of panel indicate Power On to the unit, another light for power usage Red for full power, Yellow for medium power and Green for low power, and a third light indicating the Timer is being used. Initially the unit will come on at full power until the room temperature reaches the desired setting then will cycle between the Hi, Med, Low power settings to maintain room temperature. As for noise I have never heard the unit cycle 'On' but have heard a quiet cycling to 'Off'. When mine cycles On to maintain the room temperature it cycles to Low power supposedly not using as much electricity as, maybe, other oil-filled radiators.

No complaints. Highly recommended.

Update: The first unit worked so well so I bought a second unit. The first unit was very quiet...maybe you could hear a 'click' when the power cycled to Off. The second unit does makes a metallic pinging noise as the metal expands/contracts. This only lasts for about 3 to 5 'pings' then is quiet again. Box says for heating a 12 x 12 room. Mine work well with 14 x 14 rooms (one per room) plus bathroom, and temperature last night at 29 degrees F. Any time I looked to see which power level was being used it was always the Low power usage level.

We are pleasantly surprised by the cooling power of this AC. It works great on the hottest New York afternoons and cools down our living room and kitchen area (a bit less than 600 sq ft) very quickly.

This AC works great even while using the oven in the attached kitchen area. It is not too noisy definitely quieter than the lower capacity AC we have in our bedroom which we have to run constantly at the high setting to get good cooling.

This AC runs on the standard 110 volt wall outlet.

I have a vault or cathedral ceiling for my large living room attached to a kitchen and the temperature in the room could rise up to the high upper ninety. The living room would get hotter than the outside of the house since I have no roof ventilation so the heat would build up during the day and the ceiling fan would just blow down hot air.

I have several 8000 BTU window AC units for each bedrooms but I'm going to need a larger BTU for my living room so I decided to go with 15,000 BTU. My neighborhood's large chain stores were all sold out of air conditions so I thought I would give Amazon a shot on something this big and heavy and since I'm a prime member, why not? Having it deliver right to my doorstep, it doesn't get any better than this.

I've never heard of SPT brand before but from reading the few reviews I decided to give it a try and go with my gut instinct. Two days later, the unit came and I noticed box was in a pretty bad shape. I unboxed it anyway to find that the frontal frame and the casing were a bit off and not flushing. With the weather being so hot, I decided that it was just cosmetic damaged and decided to put it up anyway. I went ahead a built a frame for my side sliding window and installed the unit. I'm a big guy so I was able to lift the unit into its casing myself but I would highly recommend 2 people for this. I put the 4 screws back into the frontal frame and plugged in the 110 outlet. I then turned on the power and it started to vibrate vigorously and I can hear a loud cranking from the fan. I had to turn off the unit right away and thought to myself as to why did I purchased this. I had to undo everything and pulled the unit back down to see what caused the loud cranking noise. I found out that a piece of the fan broke off during shipping causing the fan to spin unbalanced. I was very disappointed and upset. I packed everything back into the box and went straight to the Amazon website to click on the return item. Amazon made it so easy to return the unit and I decided to get a replacement instead of refunds since it wasn't SPT's fault for what happened to the unit. They shipped out the replacement right away and sent a shipping company to pick up the damaged unit from my house the next day.

A few days later, the new unit came and the shipment was in good shape. I decided to plugged the unit and tested it before installing this time and it powered up and ran like a charm. It's now up on my living room window and surprisingly runs very quiet. Quieter than the small units in the bedrooms. I put up a curtain to block the cool air escaping into my hall way and the living room and kitchen are now very comfortable to relax in again.

Pros: Very quiet, regular household 110 outlet, fast cooling, nice frame and metal grill in the back, looks well built and sturdy, cool up the room fast, very easy to install.

Cons: Unit packaging could be better, not a lot of differences between low and high fan.

Have had the unit installed for a few months now and am very disappointed with the overall performance. The unit it replaced did a much better job of cooling. The front is a lot of trouble to remove and there are no controls on the remote to adjust the temperature up or down. Will not buy this brand again.

I mounted this in the wall. Although it would have easily worked in a window that was big enough,it was easy to mounting a wall. Mounting is easy and all the parts including supports for outside are included. You don't need to buy anything else other than trim strips and weather strips for around the unit.

This thing is awesome for a giant 110v unit. It is very very cold and the fan in pretty awesome. It is far more quiet than my 8k btu window model in my bedroom. The controls are far more than I need but nice to actually have the control. The remote works very well and the unit responds that it has received the command. The timer is great for having the thing on until the temp outside drops. Just saves a lazy button push.

Overall this is an awesome unit. It does make a lot of noise outside and pings, clangs, and clinks under ormaloperation just like the manual states quite clearly. So normal and I don't care.

Cooling is truly awesome. This old paper wall Ouse gets half a day of direct sunlight all afternoon. The heat increase was horrible. The 10k portable that I had could ot keep up and temps in the room were approaching 85 degrees on a mid 90s day. So sitting in front of the portable was the only choice. This unit keeps the room and kitchen down to the mid to lower 70s on an upper 90s day. Pretty good considering the western wall is warm.

I am very very happy. Awesome unit although very big and very heavy. Thi mounting is simplifies by having an exterior shell that is fully mounted and it quite manageable and light. Then the unit is slid into the shell and retained. The last step is still a two person job unless you are hulk or just dumb enough to pretend.

I had an SPT 11,000 portable A/C that was not able to cool past my bedroom in my new apartment, but this window A/C does the trick. It was a bit of a beast to install because I'm not so handy, but I still was able to do it. I love that I ordered it around 5am on a Friday and paid $8.99 for Saturday shipping, and FedEx delivered it at 9:30am the next day. I may have gotten the Frigidaire 15000 BTU model but it wouldn't have gotten here so fast and this last week was HOT, but I don't regret paying a little bit more for the SPT since I had good luck with the portable unit that I was able to easily sell on Craiglist for almost as much as this one cost me.

I generally only leave reviews for the best and the worst products that I buy here on Amazon. Thankfully, this product falls into the former.

I am pretty hard to please in general but this little stove won me over right from the start even while still removing it from it's box.

Growing up in wintry New England, we heated our modest little house in the sticks with wood stoves. This was not without it's unpleasantries. Lugging wood into the cellar and enduring bloody noses and dry skin from the moisture-sucking heated air was never my favorite but I must admit there is nothing like the sound and smell of a wood stove on a cold January night.

After living in Southern California for the last 13 years, I recently grew nostalgic for my childhood. I live in an apartment and a real stove is not possible so I looked for solutions that didn't require venting or actual wood and came across the Duraflame 4600 btu.

It's built solidly, with a nice patina that does resemble an old cast iron stove. It's also a very good size, not too big and not too small. Perfect for the corner of the living room in my 700 sq foot 1 bedroom apartment.

I was rather dubious as to the quality of the 'flames' so I wasn't expecting much when I flipped on the switch (nicely hidden by a solid glass door) to activate them. It turns out they look very realistic. The coals even look convincing. I sat with a glass of wine and watched them dance for at least 30 minutes, happily reminiscing.

After being completely spell-bound, I remembered to test out the heater part finally. It has a blower underneath that directs the heat out the front. I tested underneath, behind, on top, and found no heat except where it should be. That's reassuring to me, knowing that the heat will always be confined to a cone coming from underneath the front.

I even placed a candle on top and left it there for 10 mins. It did not melt at all. It does get hot around the circumference of the bottom surface but that's about it.

All in all, I am extremely satisfied with this product. It's going to be a big hit at my Christmas dinner party. Buy this thing immediately. you won't be disappointed.

I am already showing it off to my neighbors ...

This is a video of my heater. The flames look really real!Everyone who sees it loves it and wants one.I am now able to keep my central heater at 70, and still have a warm home. Heats from the floor up so your feet and legs stay warm, which central heat doesn't always do that well. I absolutely love this heater/fireplace! Perfect size for bedroom, bathroom or small living room(like I have, 20"x20")Why didn't I get one of these sooner!

Update! 1/5/2012...

I had this heater almost a year now. And I just wanted to say...I STILL LOVE IT! Small size, but puts out the heat. I have a 870sq ft home. And this little fireplace keeps at least half of it warm.

It gives a very nice fireplace efffect coming from a small stove. The heating element is very powerful and warms up the room quite fast.

You won't be sorry very nicely made.

Honest reviews on Duraflame Vent-Free Metal Stove - 4600 BTU, 400 Sq. Ft. Heating

I purchased this stove instead of the Dimplex model that is almost identical because I liked the design of the door better and I thought that Duraflame was a respected brand. I know someone that has the Dimplex and absolutely loves it. I read the reviews of the Dimplex and there are tons of them and almost all extremely positive. I thought the fact that there were only a few reviews for this stove might be because it was newer to the market. The stove looks fine. Was delivered in good condition, and is easy to just plug in. No assembly of any kind. The flame is a resonable facsimile of a real fire, so all that is fine. But within a few weeks the motorized parts that rotate to make the look of fire started to make noise. Also, the heat blower makes noise. So the fire plus the blower make some pretty audible noise. If you turn off the heat blower you have what is essentially an annoying noise that actually makes me have to turn the TV up louder. Sometimes the noise gets quiter. Sometimes it gets louder. It would be too much trouble to return it so I'm stuck with it. I'll never order something this large from Amazon again.

We have the square Johnson Controls thermostats at work for every zone. Several of these are in places where the general public has the opportunity to make adjustments. Despite our HVAC only having a 3 degree variance on either side of neutral, this does cause disturbances in the workplace.

This is a great solution. It seems sturdy for the money, and works great. It installed super easy and the key, while tight, works excellently. It's sturdy enough to discourage people from trying to pry it open and would fit those standard round home thermostats too.

It comes with all the parts you need and keeps people from meddling with the controls.

My husband likes to keep the house icy cold all year round. I was annoyed that I had to freeze even in the summer time and usually we can't sleep in the same room due to me being cold and him being hot. My friend mentioned electric blanket, and I immediately went online and bought this one. I wish I had thought of it long time ago. This blanket is such a dream! Every time I wrap myself in it, I feel like I'm sunbathing on a Hawaiian beach. I use it every day at my computer desk, and its so comfy I usually fall asleep at my desk instead of going to bed at night! The 3hr auto-shut off is a nice feature, but it would be nice to be able to control the timer myself (not complaining, though!)

Pros: Baby soft texture, works 100% in keeping me toasty warm, never gets too hot to a point where I feel like I'm burning.

For a throw, it has good coverage I can use it as a full size blanket that covers me from neck to feet (I'm5'4.5").

Can snap off the cord at the edge of blanket if you need to leave the room for a minute but want to remain wrapped.

Cons: The cord is a bit awkward logistically, with the control console that dangles at an odd location. Not much of a big

deal, but since I have to think of something "con" to write, I will note this curious cord placement issue. Cools

off rather rapidly when it turns off or disconnects (within 3 mins). Keep your visit to the kitchen short when going

hunting for your midnight snacks; the withdrawal could be cruel LOL. Not big enough to share, as it wraps one person

only comfortably (I wish they had various sizes). I'm curiously annoyed about the difference in the prices depending

on the color!? What is up with that??? Supply and demand? Seems a bit silly.

All in all, I highly recommend it. For this price, it certainly doesn't disappoint. Enjoy!

I'm buying a whole bunch of them as Christmas gifts for everyone this year. I'm glad I got to test it out before I gave this as a gift. It passed my test with flying colors. The only thing I'm concerned about is what I'm reading in here from others; that it may have a short life span (it stops working after few months?). Since I've only had mine for about one month, I'd be very disappointed if it breaks on me soon. I hope it lasts the winter season, at least! I'll let you know.

Best Rowenta DW6080 Eco-Intelligence Iron 1700-Watt Steam Iron Deals

I recently purchased this Rowenta to replace my old Sunbeam which was also a great steam iron, and wow, what a nice piece of household equipment! I ironed 8 dress shirts in less than an hour and they all had a great finish, only refilled the iron once and I was using heavy stream. My shirts came out looking better than they do when I take them to the cleaners. This iron will easily pay for itself in the first couple months. Also, how cool is the finish on this iron? I couldn't resist it. The black, green and stainless steel are a nice option from the boring colors irons usually are, looks great sitting up in my walk in closet. I've already had several people ask what brand it was and where I it it from. Definitely reccomend, well worth the money and will last a decade before needing to be replaced.

We've been using this powerful iron since early November 2012. It puts out a great amount of steam on medium and high settings, and, to its credit, I do think the one millimeter bevel helps with dispersing steam using less water. The unit feels good in my hands and the cord is not too short. For medium and high temperature-capable fabrics, this iron is a good, solid buy. For low temperature fabrics, well, that is another story.

One millimeter. What a difference that millimeter makes.

That missing millimeter across the vast amount of the surface of the iron's soleplate, means you are actually only pressing your material in the areas with bordering ridges. These ridges appear to equate to, at most, four inches in the center, from front to back, and two inches closer to the sides. This means you either press harder, use more steam (which means raising the temperature almost to the line where the medium heat range starts), or press longer, if you want to eliminate wrinkles on low-temperature fabrics.

Why is this? Because when using the lower heat range, the thermostat only turns on the heating element long after any steam stops. Sadly, all of my dress pants require heat lower than what this iron needs to produce steam (to be fair, the steam button can occasionally produce steam, but only right after the element cycles on). So, it leaves one ironing very slowly (remember, you are only hitting the fabric with 2-4 inches of warm metal) or raising the temperature, and, in reality, going really slow IS raising the temperature on the fabric to some extent. Although I've tried to be careful, two pairs of pants have not-too-nice glossy areas on them from these approaches (thankfully, I iron them inside-out).

This iron also makes wet ironing when you don't use the dryer difficult. Again, that millimeter means that even if you are ironing shirts that accept a medium heat setting, you are only going to really be ironing with 2-4 inches of the whole plate bottom. So, this makes another ironing chore of mine rather more time consuming than I would have expected. (Of note, it is interesting to see the inverse image of dry-vs.-wet soleplate on a wet shirt. It really illustrates what part of the iron is actually doing the work.)

Despite these concerns, the iron has been worth the try. I can vouch that it does a really nice job if you aren't using it for my normal circumstances.

Due to these issues, we may find a close relative to whom to give this. To Rowenta's credit, we will likely get one of their flat-bottomed units.

What a difference a millimeter makes.

Best Deals on Rowenta DW6080 Eco-Intelligence Iron 1700-Watt Steam Iron

I finally had to replace my old Rowenta which has lasted 20 years--and actually still works but does not steam as well as it once did. My fault I am sure, because I never emptied the water out. Not sure why the Eco Intelligence tag on this iron--it basically works like any other but has lots of steam and a pointy nose to help me iron quilt seams. And if an iron can be said to be pretty--well yes this one is--kind of old school and new rolled into one. Not too heavy ---but heavy enough to warrent the price. This is every bit as good as my old one--only with more steam vents. I would recommend this iron to anyone who sews. A little spendy if all you do is touch up perma-press shirts.

Honest reviews on Rowenta DW6080 Eco-Intelligence Iron 1700-Watt Steam Iron

I have owned many irons that came from big box stores in the $20-$30 range. They always do a decent job for a while and then they break. When my old iron was on its last legs, I started looking for something that wasn't quite so disposable. I decided I wanted to go with Rowenta because of the company's reputation and especially because most of the irons are still made in Germany instead of China like everything else. When comparing Rowenta models, I'll be honest, the design of this iron won me over. It didn't look like any other iron and is actually kind of pretty. I mean, it is still an iron and I'm not going to put it on my mantle or anything, but it is a pretty iron!

I am blown away by the performance of this iron. After years of using those crappy irons and struggling to get wrinkles out, it has been incredible to smooth fabric with one pass. This iron has LOTS of steam. The first big ironing project I had was a quilt I was making. Every step was a breeze, from ironing uncut fabric, to pressing seams, to smoothing multiple layers of fabric. I have since had similar results ironing clothes and even delicate curtains. It is just incredibly quick and easy. I have never used an iron that works so well and would recommend this model to anyone.

Recently bought this to replace my 7yr old Azur Philips steam iron. The Rowenta iron works wonders. Everything about this iron is great, except its cord would be better if its longer.
