Bought a new media cabinet and there was no airflow. I put one CG Cabcool 1202 Deluxe on both sides. The product does what it says: set a temperature and watch it kick on and off keeping your equipment nice and cool. The nice thing is that they are both very quiet.

I installed these fans about 18 months ago. I installed them into a custom desk that we had built into our motor home. There was no air flow in the desk and our laptop kept overheating. The laptop in on 24/7 (work unit)so it was important for it to function correctly.

This system included a digital readout and a remote temperature probe. The lead on the probe was not long enough so I splice on the same size wires to the length I needed. I placed the probe under the laptop, and set the unit to come on at 96deg.F and turn off at 86deg.F . It has preformed flawlessly over the last 18 months. It keeps the computer cool and we have had no more computer problems associated with overheating.

CoolerGuys are great to work with also. Prompt to answer an email or a phone call. Highly recommend.

I installed this cooling system in my entertainment system cabinet about nine months ago, and it has worked flawlessly since installation. The cooling fans are pretty easy to install, and the instructions for setting up the cooling system on/off parameters are easy to understand. I wouldn't say the cooling fans are completely inaudible, but they're pretty quiet and barely noticeable, especially if they're mounted toward the rear of your entertainment system.

I installed this fan unit inside an enclosed cabinet where I wanted to install my cable boxes, BlueRay player, receiver and video switches. It vents between two studs in the adjacent wall and keeps the equipment cool. The fans are very quiet, and the thermostat runs them only when needed.

Highly recommended!

I am disappointed in this item. This thing was not cheap so I expected more,

It is very well made but I cannot highly recommend.

Unless you always listen to movies or music at very loud levels,

you will find yourself unplugging the thing as I have.

I know I can replace the fans with quieter ones that run at a slower speed, but for what this cost,

you would think the mfg would have selected better/more appropriate fans.

I bought this in 1991 when I had a heat pump installed. I've used it through two HP installations, and it works as good as new. It ramps up to temp without turning on emergency heat unescessarilly, like some of the newer units do. No, it doesn't have the fancy large screen display like the new ones, but as far as dependability and price, it can't be beat. BTW, the price for it here, with shipping, is about what I payed for it from contractor in 1991. Highly recommended.

It's so cuddly and soft, we just use it for a teddy bear when it's too warm to turn on and then crank it up to keep us toasty when the weather gets nippy. I love the dual controls as I am always warm and my husband requires more heat to be comfortable. There is plenty of cord to easily store the controls in the book case headboard even when blanket is not in use.

My plumber who installed this told me that I would need to set it on about 3 out of 5 to keep the detached garage apartment that I use for an office warm, which is about 450 square feet on a second floor with an unheated garage below. The other night it was 17 degrees and breezy outside and 1.25-1.5 out of 5 kept things comfortable. I have been using two electric heaters and the winter electric bills have been higher for the office than for my house on the same realty that has central heat and air, a washing macnine, an electric dryer, refrigerator, multiple TVs with every family member watching theirs and all sorts of other electrical devices. Further, electric heaters did not keep it warm, just unfrozen. Most winter days my fingers were darn cold on the keyboard. Now I look forward to winter days in the office. Why didn't I install this years ago? Great unit.

I wanted a ventless heater that didn't need power. We have frequent, and sometimes extended, power outages and it GETS COLD when the stupid GAS FURNACE won't operate without power!

So I installed it myself in the basement (there was already a gas connection there from an old gas clothes dryer) in about a hour. No problem. The instructions explain everything, and list what you need to buy extra (a few pieces of "black iron pipe", some gas-safe Mylar tape to wrap the pipe threads, and a flexible gas appliance hookup line. I got everything from the appliance section of the local hardware store in one trip. Installation worked the first try. It lit right up on the first try, too. Wheeee!

Now we turn the darned thing on anytime we're working in the basement (like doing laundry) during the winter. Very easy to use, very reliable (I'm on it's second winter), and IT PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT!

This heater is a better quality then the blue flame kinds. If you are shopping make sure you buy the thermostate model and not the hight medium low models. Its worth the extra money so the heater will turn off and on automatically. The non-thermostat models stay on all the time either high, medium, or low flame.

I use this in my home in Ohio and it heats my two story three bedroom home without using my furnace at 14 degrees!!!

I have since installed them in my rental apartments to help my tenants save money on their gas. I am shocked that everybody doenst have these!!! They are so efficient and cost so little money and are a 5 minute installation!

If you set this heater on high it will give you way too much heat for one bathroom, unless it is a bigger than average bathroom. I initially used it in my bedroom, but again, too much heat, so I now use it on the stair landing, which is open to below and it still manages to warm-up the space without the heat concentrating too much -I don't like warm spaces, I'm just looking the tone-down the cold, and this does the job very nicely... but I've gotten the same results from heaters a lot less expensive than this.

Two things to consider: it is NOT "quiet operation". The fan is actually pretty noisy I can hear it all the way down to the kitchen, when it's on I put on music to drown the fan sound.

Secondly, unless you screw it onto the wall, it will come off just by the fan vibration, and forget trying to use a hairdryer or any other appliance using the extra outlet, the hardware to hold it in place is just too flimsy. Since I don't want it as a permanent fixture, I found my own way to hold it in place (using an outlet cover -this actually works better the hardware provided) but I still put my left hand on it when I turn it on or off to keep it from jumping off the wall.

This heater is really fantastic! It mounts on a wall socket in just second, and is removable just as fast. We heat a 16 X 12 three season room with just one of these heaters! They are a little noisy on high, but once the desired temperature is reached you can turn it down to a lower setting, and maintain the rooms temperature with less noise!! I would definetly recommend this heater!!

Best Deals on Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I agree with the Jan 18, 2005 review; the heater does not stay in the wall outlet. It falls out when you turn the knob to turn it off/on or after a few seconds on (from vibrations). It was our second time purchasing this model; the first one from a couple of years ago did not have this problem.

Honest reviews on Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I had doubts that this heater could keep our bedroom warm

all night, but the gas company wanted $3000 to install a

wall heater. So we gambled on $50+ and installed the

Seabreeze. It took about three minutes to install it and

a couple of nights to find the ideal temperature setting.

Now it quietly holds the room at a comfortable temperature

all night.

This would have received five stars except for the thermostat,

which is a bit temperamental. Sometimes it would turn on the heater immediately after setting it manually to a position which turned it off.

Designed AND constructed in Canada, where they understand the need for staying warm! The design is brilliant but flawed by the assumption that all proper grounded bathroom 2-plug outlets will fit within their wall-mount box; the standard boxes our electricians installed a few months ago are too big, making it impossible to plug the unit in if you follow their instructions. However, good bathroom heaters are hard to find and it's easy to work around this (and other criticisms of this item): 1. Using the holes indicated on the wall-mount box, screw it into your bathroom wall anywhere within about 3-5 inches above your bathroom outlet (test in advance to be sure the short cord will still reach the outlet). We use 1.5 inch wood screws and happen to know that the wiring doesn't go above our outlet but you might want to adjust location depending on where your wires are in the wall. 2. Don't bother with the "dummy" plastic 3-hole piece they include; that's just to prevent you from accidentally overloading the outlet by using another device when the heater is on. If you need to remind yourself, it might work as a stand-alone dummy plug, or you could cap off the second outlet, or just remember and use common sense.

3. Now just hook the heater onto the wall-mount box. It's quite secure unless you're rough with it. But if you're worried about accidentally knocking it off the box, it is possible to thread a wire or large paper clip between the plastic grill and the mount box (common sense again: do this when everything is unplugged and try to be sure the wire doesn't touch anything inside the heater; and use metal, not anything that's flammable!). The above took about 10 minutes. That's for our bathroom fan; we bought two. The second one works fine in our unheated kitchen, follow the same instructions for screwing wall-mount into the wall wherever you want it, or even can safely stand on its side inside a metal box with some air space at the back in a location where it can't possibly get knocked over. We are the careful types so we simply use a heavy duty (14 gauge or larger--meaning 13-12--and guaranteed to handle 1875 watts: NOT a flimsy or ordinary) extension cord to reach the nearest available grounded plug (again, don't share the plug with other devices when the heater is on). Again, this is 10 minutes work. Result is a beautiful, small, attractive, affordable little heater that is safe, quiet, and Canadian-quality toasty!

Discount KB Electronics Solid State Variable Speed AC Electric Motor Control

KB Electronics Solid State Variable Speed AC Electric Motor Control 2.5 Max amps 115V # K177-1002
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
The control has a small adjustment screw on the side that you are supposed to tweak when you install. The screw allows you to set the lowest speed (which should not be so slow that the motor stalls). You can set a slow speed easily enough, but two problems crop up after installation:

1. The taper isn't smooth, meaning that (in may case, with a fireplace fan) there really isn't a "medium" speed. In other words, as you turn the control towards "low" the speed of the fan stays pretty much the same until you reach a certain point at which the speed drops to the previously mentioned lowest setting. Same deal in reverse, i.e., as you turn the dial toward "high," the fan runs slow until it jumps to full speed.

2. If you set the control low enough to be, well...low, then any additional draw put on the same circuit stalls the motor. In my case I turned on a light, so we aren't talking major draw. I tried changing the adjustment (putting more load on the circuit and then setting the "low" adjustment a bit higher), but I couldn't find a happy medium. If I set the adjustment high enough to not be bothered by a minor additional stress on the circuit, the "low" setting was almost the same as the "high" setting.

So, with these limitations, this speed control is effectively an on/off switch, something I could have purchased locally for less than a buck.

I bought this to slow down a ceiling fan and it worked perfectly. I wanted to run a 50 cfm ceiling fan in my basement all of the time to keep pet smells from entering the rest of the house but did not want 50 cfm of conditioned air being exhausted constantly. I also wanted the fan to make less noise. This switch worked perfectly, I did not even have to adjust the set screw. The fan speed seemed to vary with the switch position perfectly. I read a few unfavorable reviews and I can only speculate, but it might be that they did not purchase the correct amp rating for their motor. In my case, I bought the 2.5 amp model for my motor rated at 1.6 amps.

Best Deals on KB Electronics Solid State Variable Speed AC Electric Motor Control

I have Hunter air cleaners to control dust from my parrots, and the motor speeds were much too fast even on low setting, and blew more dust than they collected. I purchased these units to slow down the motor speed, and was able to mount them inside the cases for a clean mount, with the wall plate and dial on the outside. These work perfectly for my application to lower the fan speed of my air cleaners, resulting in less noise and a lower CFM rate, while still filtering the air satisfactorily.

Honest reviews on KB Electronics Solid State Variable Speed AC Electric Motor Control

This is a great speed control, much better than the sunmile or whatever I bought before. I really like the small adjustment screw on it that allows me to bring the fan down to barely spinning. That is a great option that I've never seen before. My fan runs great and I can adjust it from high speed down to almost not spinning accurately which is something I haven't been able to do with some of my other fan controls.

The A/C unit in my condo blew air far too strongly, even on the lowest of the 3 fan speeds. It blew freezing air over people anytime the A/C was running and was quite uncomfortable. So I wired this in series with the low fan speed setting, and now I have perfect control over the fan and can get it as low as I want, and the A/C is much more comfortable. It is also much quieter. Problem solved!

My fan motor is a 2.0 amp, 1/8 HP, single phase 120 VAC. This control, good for up to 2.5 amps, works perfectly with my motor. Be sure to check your motor's rating and order the speed control with the correct amperage for it.

Got one of these today. Thot the other guys that had this problem were just unlucky, and decided to trust the Honeywell name. Boy, was I wrong. SureSet, my foot. The thermostat in this device does indeed seem to be measuring the temperature of the unit itself, although not the actual element, maybe the heated plastic body. I do not recommend that anyone buys this heater if they want to use the automatic mode. It functions well in the high and low constant heating mode. I have a lasko 5365 heater as well, that works well in all modes.

Update: Lasko 5365 is displaying same odd thermostat behaviour, I am beginning to think this behaviour is a product of the environment where the heater is used, and not just poor manufacturer design.

Update 2: Confirmed that 5365 thermostat works fine if heater placed in middle of open space to be heated as opposed to against a wall. HZ-338 thermostat performance doesn't seem to improve when in open area.

I purchased a white version of this heater elsewhere about a month ago. I love it. It is in my daughter's bedroom, which tends to be colder than the rest of the house.

At night, I turn it on to the low setting, set the temperature, set the timer, and it does the rest. It isn't as loud as my older heater that it is replacing, and I don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off in the morning.

I have since purchased a second one for my bedroom.

The thermometer of this heater is completely messed up. It does not measure the room temperature, but the temperature of the air that has just been heated up. In other words, if your room temperature is 60 degrees and you program it to heat up the room to 70 degrees it will do so (according to the thermometer reading) in less 2 minutes and stop. If you do not use this functionality, but instead let the heater run for some time (5-10 minutes) the thermometer will want to make you believe that the room temperature has gone up to 90 degrees. The thermometer is probably in the wrong location. Did Honeywell do any kind of testing before putting this model on the market ?!

Ditto the other's observations... The thermostat seems to register the temperature of the unit itself rather than the room... I had the thing in a 63 degree room, had it set to 85 degrees. It would register 90 after 30 seconds of running, turn off, slowly ramp back down to 84 degrees over a 2 minute time period, and then repeat. The temperature of the room never got above 64 degrees....

I make yogurt at home everyday and we as a family eat yogurt 2 times a day at the end of each meal( lunch and dinner). Its a south indian thing... I made yogurt at home perfectly well at home all summer without the yogurt maker....but the weather in winter at the place where i live gets really cold and even with heat on at home...i was not able to make good yogurt. Then at last i purchased this yogurt maker. This works perfectly. I do the exact same thing with my milk that i used to do before, bring it to boil, cool it down till its just luke warm and then mix some yogurt from the previous day into it as culture and keep it into this yogurt maker and turn it on...and next morning i have perfect yogurt.

This yogurt maker comes with 4 , 5 ounce jars. These too worked out great for me. I make different kinds of yogurt now everyday in these jars. yogurt with whole milk for my kids and yogurt with fat free milk for myself and husband. I also purchased on big bowl from walmart that fits perfectly into this yogurt maker...for days when I need more yogurt when we have ppl over and stuff...and it makes more than 1/2 litre of yogurt......

I usually let the milk sit in the maker for 6 hours to make sweet/non-sour perfect yogurt for daily consumption. But when i need sour yogurt for some dish ( like rava idli) and stuff I let it sit for 8 -10hrs and it works out great.

It consumes very less power, this device comsumes only 11 watts and so haven't seen any noticeable difference in my electric bill too..

Makes good yogurt...now. On first try I used Trader Joe's 2% milk and Greek Gods plain yogurt as starter, used the amount suggested in the instructions, 1/2 cup i think. I heated the milk & cooled down beforehand, left in for 8 hours. Result was runny & inconsistent setting, inedible and too sour. Second try I used Strauss Family 2% milk and two generous tablespoons of Fage plain, heated/cooled milk beforehand, plus put a paper towel in the machine, under the jars. (I suspect the floor of the machine gets too hot for cultures to survive, don't need too much starter). Result was perfect yogurt after 8 hours, thick & creamy even without straining. Very happy esp since Amazon price was only $18 for new.

Honest reviews on Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker

I chose this one since it was the perfect size for me since I'm single. The instructions say to use 1/2 c plain yogurt or starter, 4 cups of milk, and 1/4c to 1/2 c instant non fat dry milk powder. I didn't do that. First off, the 4 cups of milk is way too much and will not fit in the glass containers.

I used 3 cups of organic, ultra pasteurized(UHT) milk and about 1 1/2 Tbsp of Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt. If you use UHT milk you don't have to parboil. I wasn't thrilled about using nonfat dry milk so I left that out. Came out perfect for my tastes. I pulled out two at about 7 hours and the other 2 after about 15 hours. I didn't notice a huge difference in tartness but the consistency for the ones that stayed in longer was a tiny bit thicker. I mostly use yogurt for smoothies so I don't need it to be very thick. The consistency reminds me of yogurt you can get in Europe or Asia. Next time I may try using a full fat, organic Greek yogurt as a starter and see how it comes out. I also saw a recipe that uses 2 c milk and only 2 tsps of yogurt as a starter. I just got this yesterday so I'm still in the testing stages but I totally love it so far and would recommend this to anyone!

DeLonghi PAC700T Pinguino Portable Air Conditioner
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

I purchased the PAC600T (one step below this unit) from Amazon one year ago. When it arrived, I filled the tank with water, inserted it in the unit and my floor was covered with water less than a minute later. Turns out the unit's plastic base housing was cracked during shipment. Amazon replaced the unit, with the same results for the second unit. At that same time, there must have been lots of returns because Amazon stopped selling the unit. I stepped up to this unit with its slightly higher BTUs and hefty price.

The unit arrived fine, no leaks after filling with water, and I used it most of last summer (in a 14' x 20' room with average height ceiling). The unit puts out cool, definitely not cold, air. The only way to really use the unit is to get it started when the temperature isn't too high, then keep it running. I don't think it would be able to cool a warm room. It simply isn't overly powerful. That may have to do with the fact that it operates at 110 volt, rather than 220 like many AC units that are built into apartment walls.

The unit has been sitting behind my couch all winter. When I went to use it this year, the removable plastic water tank was cracked. It was emptied at the end of the season and not exposed to excessive temperatures, so I don't know what that's about.

I assumed that with the high BTU (and price tag), this would be the unit to use. But I'm going to try one of the less expensive units this year and check out its performance.

I bought 2 units last year. At first it worked fine. Then, this season, when I started to use the air conditioners, one of the unit leaked at the base, ruining my wood floor. I thought I could just use it without water, and I found it to be very insufficient to cool off the room. I have used different models of pinguino and I found that the newer models are more problematic. If it isn't leaking, then it is the alarm light that kept coming on, shutting down the unit. I followed the maintenance procedure to clean the unit, but it doesn't seem to help. I am fed up with pinquino. I think I may have to switch back to those window units.

They informed me that they no longer have any repair centers in Massachusetts. They suggested that I take the unit to Hartford, CT, about 2 hours from Boston where I live. Having paid $1300 for this unit just 3 years ago, I expected better service than this. It appears that DeLonghi maybe doesn't care too much about supporting their products after the sale. This will be my last DeLonghi product of any kind.

I bought the 700 Pinquino A/C unit because of its excellent energy efficiency and quiet operation. I liked the looks too, so many others look so ugly that I would not have them in my livingroom. I have had the unit for two years now, and so far no problems at all. It works great, and is very quiet, and cools my 700sqft room well, although it takes a while when above 90F. The water reservoir lasts about a day before needing refilling. My only complaint is a minor one: The plastic finish is of good quality, but it scratches easily when moving the unit around and you bump into something. If it had some color matching bumper strips or something around its middle section, that might help. I am happy with this unit.
