Living in the heart of Sun Valley where temperatures reach 120 degrees, I never thought I would need an old friend used back east in Northwest Connecticut. Unfortunately there are frozen nights in Phoenix. This works perfectly to protect the 1 1/2 feet of exposed water main pipe. Wraps easily and stays in place keeping out the frost. It does not get too hot either, so no melted plastic valve pieces. You'll need an extension cord but for the few days we need one this saves a ton of money in repairs.

This cable was easy to install and works like a charm! Haven't had a frozen pipe since I installed it.

I underestimated the wattage I needed for a job other than pipe protection. I wanted to lay it on the floor of a generator cabinet housing to keep some warmth in it and drive out any moisture to prevent rust and allow it to start easier. It would work great for pipes, but I need more wattage. Good product and looks well made.

High Watt Heater Reviews

I just bought one of these to replace an identical one I'd purchased 20-25 years ago. The motor finally wore out after nearly daily use (during the cold season, which can be fairly long and occasionally severe in Oregon). It just quietly sits there, the thermostat maintaining whatever temp you like, year after year. It can really throw out the heat, too. I hardly ever have to turn the thermostat up over 1/4 of the way.

I'm going to find a replacement motor for my old one and keep it as a spare or put it in a different room. Probably be good for another 20 years.

It's just so nice to find something of quality that just works nowadays. I highly recommend this heater.

We have done over our basement several years ago into a lage family room. We have a wood burning stove there and have tried several small electric heaters when not wanting to build a fire. We purchased this heater with a 220 supply line. It works very well. It heats up the room quickly and then when you turn the thermostat down it only comes on as needed. It sits on carpet that does NOT heat up. I saw one that a friend had and he was very impressed so we are trying it. Have not yet received my electic bill since it has been installed only for about a week. Rochester New York

I got two of these about 15 years ago for heating a garage, and they were 10 years old when i got them. Mine are branded Rival but they are the same heater as this one. After 25 years one of the motors burned out this season, so I'm down to one. All in all I'd have to say that 25 years of winter operation in a dusty garage is pretty good performance.

As some of the other reviewers have noted, the fans are a bit noisy. The thermostat works well and seems to hold temperatures well. These units put out a lot of heat! I'm satisfied.

The things I like best about the Fahrenheat PT268 are the industrial look and the fact that it produces a good amount of heat. I use it for my main heat source in my 950 square foot home, along with smaller 120 volt heaters to help warm other areas. Even though the fan is a little noisier than others I've tried, I can overlook that for the money I save by not operating my furnace. What I dislike most about the heater is the thermostat; it just doesn't have enough sensitivity to maintain a constant temperature. I don't care for a 3 degree fluctuation in the temperature. The manufacturer seriously needs to consider adding a digital thermostat to make this a great heater.

I use this AC to cool my bedroom that's about 225 sq. ft. The manufacturer claims this unit is capable of cooling easily upto 250 sq. ft.

I've been using this AC for a week. The air it puts out is definately cool but this AC cannot cool the room more than 2-3 degrees, yes, farenheit. It cools the room by a couple degrees in the first hour, after that I can't see any difference whether the AC is on or not.

Well, ok, to be fair, the difference is that it does make noise and consume gobs of power without cooling anything.

I bought this last summer to use in a new home I purchased that has no air conditioning. It was crappy then it's crappy now. Tonight I had it going full blast and it said the ambient air temperature is between 76-78. The out door temperature is 81 or so. It has no use during the daytime heat so I don't even bother turning it on and luckily I'm out of the house. It's so loud it reminds me of those god awful noisy air conditioners in hotel rooms. I might as well go get a hotel room on the hottest nights because they cool the room better than this stupid thing. If you are moving it around to drain it or whatever it leaks EVERYWHERE!! My bedroom is only 300 sq ft. This air conditioner wouldn't cool a closet! Go check out the directions they are posted on Homedepot.com they are a total laugh. It says if it is too hot close the curtains or maybe their are too many people in the room! Yeah right, that's what's wrong with it.

It gets the job done, but its pretty big.

The two fan speeds put out super noise, so I'm going to have to return it, I'm just trying to cool an avg size room, so this one just won't work for me.

It does do a great job at putting out cold air, so if you got a big room and can take the noise, you won't be sorry....

This air conditioner is very efficient. Even with running it almost 24/7 our energy bill did not increase, it only used about 150 kilowatts in a month. Simple push button controls make it very easy to use.

Also, the company that ships these on Amazon was very fast, we received ours within 5 days.

Bought this heater back in Dec. (from another store) to heat up a fairly large living room. The unit was a little smaller than I thought in would be once I took it out of the box, but I still thought it might do the job. I like the basic design of the unit with the curve blower at the top and it does blow a fair amount of hot air. However, I didn't feel that the air that was blowing out of it was all that hot. I have a smaller "personal" unit that seems a lot hotter. So, unfortunetly it didn't really heat the room up. I could only get the room temp to increase by 2-4 degrees no matter how long the unit was on for. It worked better as a personal heater in the room, but that's not what I bought it for. I do feel that this unit would work better in a smaller room like a bedroom, especially when you close the room up. You could have a nice toasty room in about an hour. The fan isn't to loud but it might be a little more noticable in a smaller room.

Bottom line, it's a great unit but it didn't really meet my needs in this case. Although it didn't really work for me, I think it would work great in a smaller enclosed area. I ended up returning the unit and then purchased the Optimus H-5300. Although this is a Quartz heater with no fan, it's a bigger unit and is by far, hotter. It takes a little longer to heat up the room (not much), but I can increase the room temp by 4-8 degrees.

I brought this heater home, plugged it in, and it ran on the high setting for about 5 minutes, constantly switching between low and high. Then, it shut off, and it would not turn back on. I unplugged it and let it cool for an hour or so, and ran it on the low setting this time. It stayed on, but was constantly switching on and off, and did not give off enough heat to heat a bathroom, much less a large room. I returned the heater and got another just like it. This one ran slightly better, but again shut off after 5-10 minutes and would not power back up. This thing is of no value. You'd have more success heating a room with your computer.

This heater will heat up a room in a fair amount of time and keep it warm even if you have it on the lowest setting. This heater does not get hot or anything if you use it although the cord may get hot after a while.

I got this heater half price for $35 at Target a few days ago and yesterday it broke on me. I only used it for a brief amount of time each day just to heat up the room for approximately 3 days and it broke. The power indicator would light up but the control panel would not work no matter how I pushed it. It would occasionally come on and off flickering on and off. Basically I think the control panel area is defective so I will be bringing it back and getting a better model.

Overall: Good price, nice heat, bad build quality. Sort of loud on high setting.

Only things I wish it has a 3-prong plug with GFCI safety built-in, better sensor, and air filter. Also, I am not sure how good it is as a heater: the air it blows out doesn't seem to be hot enough to heat up a 20x20 room, at least not quick enough. I guess three Envi Heaters of 475 watts or four Econo-Heater running simultaneously would do a better job than just one of this 1500 watt heater. We'll see.

If you're thinking of buying this heater I'll save you some money. A store that ends in mart and is famous for rollbacks has the 855 model for $60. Check your local store and save some cash.
