It was love at first sight, A great looking heater, producing oodles of heat even in upstate New York, and using 1/3 of the wattage of my baseboard heaters what's not to love? I picked up six of them and mounted them on various walls around the house.

The honeymoon ended after 18 months. The heater in my bedroom started singing a tuneful but dolorous melody whenever it turned on. A few weeks of that and it sang no more. Curious, I removed it from its wall mounting and discovered large, deep cracks on the surface of its backside. Even more curious, I started removing some of the other heaters. Though only three had scary cracks, all showed some signs of cracking. It did not seem to matter whether they had been mounted on interior or exterior walls. They cracked. I wish the manufacturer had gone to Corning for the ceramic!

Fire hazard, I said to myself.

Divorce was inevitable.

As we try to turn back the temps at night, so we dont heat a 2,000 sq ft house, while we sleep under the covers...I have 2 kids which dont always stay under the covers!

So I used the typical space heaters for a while, ugly as the are, and at 750 or 1500 watts, they kept the room temps up just fine.

Along comes this wall unit, at 400 watts. It attaches to the wall, can be painted to match the room, plugs into any outlet, and one can heat a small room by itself.

While I do not recommend these for primary heating, because they take too long to warm up, I HIGHLY recommend them for seconardy zone heating for bedrooms.

Connecting two of more per room, and you probably could use them for primary heating and *could* take the place of base board heaters. But 2 or 3 panels would take up a lot of space and not look good, thus I do not recommend replacing baseboard heaters with these panels.

These are on simple switches out of the box, there is no thermostat. I have found the Lux WIN100 Smart Temp Fully Programmable Thermostat to be the ultimate solution. Set the times you want the heater on and off, set the temps you want, plug it in, then plug in the heater...and your done for the season.

My house is heated by a propane fireplace. With the cost of propane rising dramatically, I bought three of these heaters last year and used them all winter. I heated my full 1200 square foot living area with those three heaters at an approximate cost of $1 per day. I can't recommend these highly enough. And if you have children or pets, they are very safe--they do get hot, but not hot enough to burn you. Plus, they are totally quiet.

I have recommended these heaters to friends and neighbors.

Honest reviews on Eco-heater 602 High-Efficiency Electric Panel Whole-Room Heater

In a word...Hooray. Low energy consumption (400 watts), no tipping over, easy to install, nice toasty heat, this heater has many benefits. My home is heated by a centrally located fireplace (so I'm already a fan of radiant heat) and I use this heater to keep a bedroom warm. Installed this about 1 week ago and so far so good. As promised on the packaging, it really does only take 10 minutes to install.

The only downside is that the panel itself does get reasonably hot, it's true that it's safe enough that you can touch it and not get burnt, but you won't want too do that. I was going to install in a kids room, but had second thoughts after giving it a test run. Also it would have been great for the manufacturer to include information re: direct wire installation or use of a thermostat. ..but these are really minor points compared to having a great heat source that is safely out of the way, mounted to the wall, and efficient.

I bought this heater to install in the nursery so the baby's room would stay warmer overnight while the rest of the house went down to 60 degrees. The house has attic insulation, but no wall insulation, and there are storm windows.

The good about the heater: It is unobtrusive. We have it installed on an interior wall out of the way. It is easy to install; it took about 10 minutes. It keeps the baby's room warmer than the rest of the house. I also like the fact that it uses less power than a standard heater. Not only is it cheaper to run, I have fewer concerns about overloading circuits. I like the fact that it has a paintable surface, although I haven't decided if I am going to paint it. I have heard that painting radiators reduces their efficiency and I don't know if that applies to this heater.

The less than good: We have had this heater on in a rather small room (10 by 10) with a hot water radiator system, and over night it only seems to bring the temperature about 5 degrees above the temperature in the rest of the house. Based on other reviews of this heater and others, I ordered the plug in thermostat. I think I will return it because I won't ever need to turn off the heat because it is too hot. Also, the passive heating means that it takes a while for the heater to have any impact on the temperature of the room. I turn it on at 6 pm so that the room will be comfortable when the central heat goes down to 60 degrees at 10 pm. My final concern is that the heater says it can be mounted at any height, but that it works best closest to the ground -6 to 18 inches above the baseboard. I was hoping to install it higher so my baby wouldn't accidentally burn himself on it. Since heat rises, I should have realized this flaw in my logic.

I don't think this is a bad product, it just isn't as good as I wanted it to be for $150.

This is the infamous Whirlpool/Kitchenaid thermal fuse that blows when you run the cleaning cycle on the Kitchenaid KGSA906PSS range. You know, the problem everyone has, but Kitchenaid denies even happens; the reason I'll not buy Kitchenaid appliances again. All because of this fuse. Or rather, the poor implementation of the fuse into the design.

Anyway, when it blows about an hour into the cleaning cycle because by design the oven gets so hot it blows the fuse (good job, Kitchenaid!), the door will remain locked closed and the timer display will go black. No clock, no controls. The burners will still light. That means power is getting to the stove, but the oven will be dead.

So if you need the oven, you are out of luck. DO NOT CLEAN THIS OVEN if you need it within a week.

You will have to turn off the gas, unplug the power and disconnect the supply pipe from the range (I do that by removing the storage drawer and reaching underneath to disconnect from the range) then pull the range out enough so you can get behind it. There's a 24"x24" panel on the back held on with about 15 black square drive screws and an upper panel that is held on by a few Phillips drive screws. After removing the panels, you can see the fuse, attached to the back of the oven box, waiting for you to run the cleaning cycle so it can blow and cost you $40.

After I got the replacement part reinstalled and put all the screws back in, plugged it in and reconnected the gas, everything worked as before.

So I went out to the garage and took the blown fuse apart. It's a shame you cannot reset the fuse. There's no real reason you can't except they didn't design a little reset button into the fuse.

The fuse "blows" when a little bimetal disc inside the fuse heats up and pops like a bottle cap, which allows a little plastic piston to move. This in turn allows two electrical contacts to separate. This turns off the power to the display, leaves the door locked and shuts off the gas to the stove. The oven then cools down, but the fuse stays in the "off" mode.

After replacing the part and getting the oven to work, I broke the Bakelite open on the old fuse to see the innards. All I really needed to do was drill a tiny hole through the metal outer cap (but not through the bimetal) then poke a toothpick into the hole and pop the bimetal disc back into its original shape. It's not worth the trouble, but in a real pinch, it might work. The other way is to jumper over the two contacts, but of course, that's not recommended. We've had this range since 2005, though, and the fuse never blew before...because we never ran the cleaning cycle. So the fuse is there only in case you run the cleaning cycle. Apparently the oven box gets so hot during the normal cleaning cycle by design it can't stand it.

Both my wife and I live-chatted with Kitchen reps. They asked if an electrical fuse had popped at the box and other lame excuses, all while denying there was any reported problem. But a quick net search shows many people have had this problem. It's big enough that Amazon carries this one part and "8300802" returns a lot of hits.

I'm glad Amazon had the part. It got here in a hurry and it was the right part. Kitchenaid needs to stick with stand mixers and get out of the appliance biz.

I bought this just to have something cool on my desk, and I love it! It looks great on the corner of my desk, and reminds me of the little bubbling lites that used to be on my Christmas tree when I was a kid.

I only gave it four stars because it's obviously not 100% accurate, and the barometer is a little hard to fill. It comes with a syringe and tube to fill it, but the tube takes awhile to thread into the barometer. It also takes three syringes full to get the barometer to a good level.

Amazon doesn't give measurements, but the base is about 8" wide, the Galileo thermometer is about 8" high as well, and the glass water barometer is almost 7" high.

I bought this as a birthday present for my fiance and he LOVES it. It looks great on a bookshelf or desk, and is a great conversation starter. I didn't have any problems filling the barometer (instead of taking the tube out of the barometer to refill, simply take the syringe off the end of the tube). Overall it is a great product, and a very cool design!

I purchased this item, and the 17" stand alone thermometer model. I knew nothing about barometers. I knew nothing about Galileo thermometers. I use this model in my living room.

The weather glass does indeed respond to pressure changes, and does a nice job of predicting foul weather. The thermometer is accurate, easy to read (and interpolate). It only works in a range of 64 thru 80 degrees F, but anything above or below those readings is likely to require I do something with the heating and cooling around my house, so it tells me what I need to know.

I think this is a great gift for kids interested in science. I have other weather glasses too, but this one comes in combination with a neat, accurate thermometer. I'm not a kid anymore, but I find it fun, as well as useful, myself.

Honest reviews on AcuRite 00795 Galileo Thermometer with Glass Globe Barometer

Very cool to have on your desk! I would of given it extra stars, but setting up the barometer can be tricky if you do not follow the directions exactly, and you do NEED to have sterile/distilled water along with food coloring (any color but I like blue as shown).

Also, if you put too much water or not enough water into the barometer, you have to use the syringe and little hose to take the water out. HOLD onto the syringe and hose, DO NOT throw away as you never know when it'll come into handy again.

As for the Galilio thermometer, that's pretty accurate and cool!

For those real weather geeks out there I say to get the biggest Galilio Thermometer (it's TWO FEET TALL) and can be purchased through Amazon 3rd party sellers. That one gives you 2 deg temps and is a nice thing to have in an office or desk.

I was excited about this piece when I ordered it for my office, however, although it looks nice, it is not as big as I expected. The temperature is showing 4 degree Fahrenheit increments (64,68,72,76,80) which is not as precise as I'd like. The main problem however surfaced two weeks after receiving this. Weather glass initially couldn't fit in its hole in the wooden stand, but since the misfit was minimal, I mistakenly decided to sand the hole and make it fit instead of returning the whole set and waiting for the replacement. Since there was no wood polish left, this later resulted in a cracked glass over the weekend when it got sunny in the office, some water overflew and wet the stand, the wood contracted and cracked the base of the bottle, and all water leaked to the desk. So if you receive this and it doesn't fit, you better quit (return it). Otherwise, I really like the thermometer because it confirms my belief in analog scales one glimpse and you know where you're at, and here's the analogy with my moods:

red, blue and orange up: it's too cool for most people, but kewl for me

both blue and red up: good work environment for me,

only red up: I'm hot,

red down: I'm miserable and ready to leave the office because I can't work in such heat.

Summary: Nice looking toy for grownups.

Review of Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700

Customer Ratings:

Last summer I bought five Air King window fans and one 20" box fan for my family's summer cottage in NE PA. I gave a five-star review to the window fans last year, but I neglected to review this excellent box fan. It's built well, has full air flow, a thermostatically controlled cooling knob and three speeds, sits still and does not rattle. I know it costs three times as much as other box fans, but if you've ever tried to nap with a twitching rattling rouring low power fan in the background, you will be happy to pay the extra price. With temps in the mid-90's in early June, I will be ordering one or two more.

With local energy prices scheduled to soar this summer, I bought this fan hoping to be able to reduce the thermostat setting and still be comfortable. The two main criteria for me, since the unit was going to sit in my living room, were that it must be quiet, and it must be efficient. The fan has lived up to all expectations. Many fan makers do not publish their noise levels, but Air King did, and I have found the specs to be accurate. The lowest setting is quieter than my PS2 or XBOX. The 20" blades move plenty of air, even on Low. High is like sitting in a tropical storm, really needed only for quick cooling after a long period of yard work.

I like this fan, I find the quality to be just fine, and I would buy another in a heartbeat if I needed one.

The first problem I noticed with my new King 9700 20" Deluxe Box Fan was the three places on top of the fan where the paint must have been chipped and then repaired with a brush. The repair was done very poorly. This obviously happened at the factory since the paint was touched up with the same color paint.

When I turned the fan on for the first time, I heard a loud vibration noise and I noticed the fan motor seemed to be out of balance. After some investigation, I removed the back grill and noticed that one of the bolts that mount the motor to the fan's frame was jammed into the windings area of the motor instead of into the mounting hole. After fixing that, I noticed the other three mounting bolts were not tightened.

The fan is much quieter now (the vibration noise is gone), but I still think it is very noisy, even on the low and medium speed settings.

I thought that by paying more for a fan I would get better quality and less noise. I was wrong. I would have been better off buying a $19 fan.

the fan arrived on time and in good shape. it worked great right out of the box. i bought this fan to replace a standard 20" box fan of the type that cost around $20.

i paid $55.37 delivered . it feels twice as heavy as my old fan. the metal case is bigger and stronger , and the motor is a lot bigger. the plastic grills are about the same. the fans speeds work , but all 3 a fairly similar. the thermostat works at the temperature i used about 70. i'm using it as an exhaust fan and it moves a lot more air. it is noisy and might be annoying if you used it in same room . so far i think it was worth the money , but it will have to last 2 or more years. i'll try to remember to do an update. i think it could pay for itself by the end of summer by cutting down on ac bills.

This is a simple, accurate, indoor outdoor thermometer. The outdoor sensor is neat and appear water tight.

The indoor display (with integral sensor) is easy to read and small enough to be unobtrusive.

Before rating, I checked accuracy with three regular thermometers and an extremely sensitive/accurate Casio Pathfinder. This device got A+ for both consistency and reliability.

In my seller review, I mentioned that the black part around the screen had very small scratches (not visible without very close inspection) and I got an email from the company expressing their concern and wanting to make things better. Very nice to deal with a company like this. And they have all good reviews as far as I can see.

The thermometer itself works very well and is easy to use . I like this one because it's simple. I just want to know the temp indoor and out. Some people say it's too small but you can see it easily from across the room.

The product comes in a small box with plenty of protection inside. A minor point, however, is that there is no removable plastic film on the front of the unit so it arrives very lightly scratched. Not a big deal but its something.

You will need 4 AAA batteries in total. two for the inside part and two for the outside part. Longer batteries can be a tight fit. The amazon basics rechargeables just manage to squeeze in.

I have tested the Amazon Basics AAA rechargeable batteries with both parts (they are good for cold weather as well & slow discharge). They have performed as well as I expect any battery to. They were thus only charged once in over a year (and that was for testing a small problem). The outdoor sensor and batteries also continued to work through the coldest of nights here with the lowest in the teens.

The problem stems from moister. I do not have it in the best location (a location that isn't recommended by the manufacture) and every so often when it rains the outdoor sensor disconnects. Not every rain. Anyway, no problem. Bring it in, take the batteries out, let it sit for an hour, and put it all back as it was. Keeps on going.

So all you have to do to get everything working is to:

Take both units out of the packaging.

Open the battery compartments with your finger.

Install the batteries.

Seperate them about 5 feet or a bit more for testing (indoor).

After testing, place them where you want and that's it.

So the idea is to test that the outdoor sensor is four degrees or less different than the indoor sensor. This makes sure they are working correctly. The sensors are correct within 2 degrees each, so max of four, of actual temperature...

Tested the indoor sensor next to one of those wall gps weather stations and after about 1/2 hour they both read the exact same indoor temperature. It takes up to 1/2 hour for the temperature to settle.

The outside part isn't water proof and I personally don't think anyone should be expecting it to resist mother nature like its some kind of miracle sensor especially at its price. However, I can't see why a weather proof sensor can't be constructed. There are weather proof sensors on my a/c condensors and they work great.

The indoor sensor is sensitive. You'll want to place it where there's the least fluctuation of temperature or perhaps more importantly where you are the most interested in knowing what the temperature will be.

I haven't tested it much, except for 1/2 hour, but it appears the outdoor sensor works fine at 25' from indoor sensor with no line of sight.

Other infomation:

Indoor part measurements 3.5" x 2.5" x 0.75"

Outdoor part measurements 2.5" x 2" x 1"

There's a hole for screw mounting to a wall (both indoor and outdoor).

The indoor sensor has a pull out stand.

The outdoor sensor is able to stand on its own (for temperary use).

Range for outdoor sensor is up to 120 feet (line of sight).

Works at 433MHz.

Battery life 24+ months

1 year warranty.

So the end result is that the temperature is accurate enough for satisfaction. I do recommend if your searching for a cheap indoor and outdoor digital temperature gauge. If in time that changes, I will update this review. As of right now, with 14 months of use, I would buy another if a second were needed.

** Battery update ** July 2013

So the indoor unit wasn't keeping the outdoor temperature lost it after a few hours. Tested recharge of amazon basics batteries in outdoor unit and no effect. Tested recharge of amazon basics batteries in indoor unit and success.

The batteries lasted about one year and a couple months before having not enough charge for normal use.

Had also swapped the batteries in both parts and that had failed as well, so batteries in both needed recharging. A test of non-recharged batteries in indoor unit and charged batteries in outdoor unit left a test of recharging indoor unit batteries which was successful. Also ruled out interference by moving them close together which was unsuccessful. Outdoor unit is working properly.

Honest reviews on Ambient Weather Wireless Thermometer with Indoor and Outdoor

I bought this as a replacement for the disappointing Acu-Rite 00782A2 Wireless Thermometer I had, and to be honest the inexpensive price was my key reason. I like having the ability to see the temperature outside in my bedroom before I head out to walk the dog or at other points during the day. The sending unit is fairly small and unobtrusive, although the occasional LED flash startled me one night. The receiver is attractive and relatively small with a pop out stand that allows it to sit on a desk, table, or nightstand. One major drawback however is that the receive has only a two digit readout. If it's over 99 degrees all you get are two dashes, which initially made me think the sending unit was again malfunctioning. It wasn't...it was 106 outside. And in all honesty this points out the silliness of giving me temperatures to a tenth of a degree...I don't really care about the tenths...I'm not checking my own body temperature and I doubt there's people who need THAT much precision in temperature...I'd rather it read out to three digits. There also is no reset function on either the sending or receiving unit; one of the few things I liked on the Acu-Rite 00782A2 Wireless Thermometer. You get what you pay for, and for what I need this is OK, not the greatest, but at least not the battery eater the Acu-Rite 00782A2 Wireless Thermometer was. It has its flaws, but I'm not about to spend a huge amount of money for something that by and large is a convenience item.

First Ambient weather instrument ordered ever, but exceeded expectations for the specs. I have a $600 Davis Vantage Pro 2 professional weather station and needed a simple wireless thermometer as a backup if ever needed. The specs for this items shows +2 degrees, but this thing is within .5 degrees of my professional weather station! Wow.

Need to give it 24 hours for thermometer to orientate itself to the outside for best readings, but after that it is .5 of true temps.

Wish it had Max/Min recording, but other than that, I would highly recommend this item for anybody that likes accurate weather temps.

Just remember that where you put your thermometer will dictate how accurate it is. Best in shaded areas on a north side of a building or home, away from any direct sunlight or artificial heat or cold sources, or where excess heat or cold could accumulate.

Buy SPT SH-1509 Pedestal Ceramic Heater

List Price: $189.99
Sale Price: $87.94

I've been using this tower heater/fan since October and I've had a fairly good experience. It's basically the taller version of the "SPT SH-1508 Tower Ceramic Heater with Ionizer." The SH-1508 was too short for my tall bed and adding an extra foot to the height in the SH-1509 made is ideal. It heats up my mid size room pretty well.

When I first got this product it looked like it was in good condition (the box definitely wasn't though). But it seems that there's a little bit of blurred area on the front inside of the remote control signal receptor. But that area is a black background with a red light covered by the transparent plastic so I can't really tell the blurred plastic cover anymore unless I look closely.

The fan was very quiet when I first got it. I am a very light sleeper and even the smallest sounds can wake me up, and I slept through fine when the heater went off. However, about a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the fan, when especially oscillating, makes a vibrating noise. Pretty unfortunate since it makes the fan noisey now I might have to take it apart to see if anything came loose.

Besides those two things, I really have no complaints except the shape of the heater itself. It's not symmetrical as I expect most products to be. It's really not a big deal but it might bother the odd ones like myself.

PROS:

Tall

Multiple settings: High, Low, Fan (although very week) and Auto (I always use this setting heater is set to go off when the adjustable temperature is reached)

Quiet

Remote control this is one of the best features

Neat and clear blue screen

Space-efficient

CONS:

Wasn't in 100% prestine condition when I first got it.

Something came loose and now makes a vibrating noise only after 2 months of use.

Fan is weak I can't feel any cool air unless I'm directly in front of it.

Overall, I would recommend that other people who don't want a stubby heater like the SH-1508 should get the SH-1509. It's pretty much the same fan around the same price but taller. If it weren't for the vibrating noise that suddenly happened, I'd give it five stars.

This is a great little heater/fan. It puts out a lot of heat and only takes up a minimal amount of space. The remote control is an added convenience and I like the safety/shut-off feature when the heater is moved. The only negative is in trying to get the device to fan only; I wish this had been a separate button on the remote control as it is somewhat difficult to see/read from the distance that you would use the remote.

This was a great heater for the first year I used it. It heats quickly and the fan with oscillation distributes the heat well. I do feel the cons out weigh the pros. As some of the other reviews have stated when you change a setting on the heater it does make a rather loud beep sound, the heater fan is a little on the loud side in general, if you turn off the heat and just use this as a fan, it really does not move very much air, and lastly it only lasted for two winters which I feel is not very long for something in this price point. Currently it heats for about ten minutes and then the heater element and fan just stop working and I have to disconnect power for several hours and it will work for another ten minutes.

We purchased this heater to warm up our living room to help combat rising heating costs.

I prefer the stationary option, but the rotating is great if you want to warm a larger area. The remote is very handy and it's great that you can program a specific temperature. The lip in the back is a bit small if you need to pick it up to move, otherwise we haven't had any issues or complaints. Very happy with this purchase.

Just purchased this (Lowe's $38) and used it last night. I've used various (all ceramic) models over the years and was very pleased with this one planned to return to Lowe's for a second unit and was checking prices on Amazon. Will now be exchanging it for the tower version of this model (didn't realize it featured a multi-function remote) which received great reviews here. The oscillator works well (90 degrees side to side).

NOTE: despite the claim here of an internal tip-over switch (not stated on the carton) this unit will not shut off until the overheat sensor activates. I did not wait for that to occur as I tipped the running unit over backwards, forwards and each side the only difference was reduced air output on its back (since the carpet was blocking the fan's air input) and higher temp setting when tipped forward (as the temp+ button contacted the carpet).

Bottom Line: had I not found a more desirable alternative, or preferred a shorter unit, I would have purchased a second identical unit and been quite satisfied (although careful to reduce tip-over risk).

Bought this from Lowe's. All functions worked well. The timer was odd in that you set how many hours ahead you want to turn it on, but that was not hard to grasp. I had two issues with this unit: You have to turn the timer on every night in order for it to come on in the morning before you get up. You can't set a timer and have it run on its own like a light timer. We were using this for a sunroom so it would be warm when I got up to let the dog out every morning. The problem we had was that we either got a flaky unit, or the whole design was bad, because if we wanted the unit to work properly we had to turn it on and then off before setting the timer. If we didn't do that, the unit would turn on, but the room would still be cold. The nights we remembered to turn it on and off before setting the timer I would wake up to the room being warm and the heat maintained. Since I wanted a low maintenance heater this one was getting to be too much remembering for me and I took it back.

We live in a drafty old house that was built in 1855. The kitchen is freezing! 63 when the rest of the house is at 71. The heater runs a lot in the kitchen during the day, but keeps us comfortable. I use it in my daughters drafty bedroom at night and it shuts off when the temp is reached so she's not overheated! $10 rebate going on through Jan. 31, 2013 too. Good price for what you get. My parents have been happy with the one they bought too.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater

I was excited to have all the features I've been looking for: remote, replaceable filter, oscillation, tip over switch, ceramic, eco option, timer, etc. Tip over switch does not work, it smells toxic at first and it did not heat my tiny tiny room. Its going back.

I bought it for my office because i like a little warmer and office is always set at 71-72F. The heater looks good and has decent features. The best part that i like is that it has remote.

Now the worst part which rules out all good things...the heater is just too noisy. In my office i feel like am sitting in an airplane. The heater has no high/low setting for fan and the fan just keeps spinning at a very high speed. How difficult was it to put that feature? It has a high low setting for heat which is only to switch the power output but not to control the fan. I just needed to warm the room a little but cant stand the noise. Also, it doesnt turn off when set at 73 even when my wall thermostat shows 73.4 degrees. I would recommend a Lasko heater because they all have high/low settings and are much quieter.

This is the third electric mattress pad we have had and it is by far my favorite. I bought it because of the auto-off feature. My spouse is not so good about remembering to turn it off and now I don't have to check it.

We use the European style of bedding: a comforter with a duvet cover and no top sheet. Making the bed literally takes a few seconds. However, this set-up is impossible with electric blankets, so we use the electric mattress pads. The first one had very noticeable wires. Now we are not "Princess and a Pea" people, but it was not comfortable. It had to be on for at least 15 minutes to feel any heat. Still, we used it for many years. Later I replaced it with a better one. Still, the wires were uncomfortable and it was slow to heat. I put an additional mattress pad on top of the heated one to make it more comfortable, which probably reduced the heat even further, but it cushioned the wires.

This model is really great. I do not feel any wires at all. It heats very quickly. Turn it on PH and it preheats at the top setting for 30 minutes, then goes to what you had it set at.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the plug in is on the top (horizontal)foot of the bed instead of on the (vertical) side. Our feet hit a hard plate. It is not unpleasant, it will just take some time to get used to it. You also have to plug the unit in on an outlet that is on the right side of the bed for the controllers to properly reach your nightstands. It states that in the instructions, but I wanted to plug it in on the left (my husband's) side as my side's outlet was full. The first time I tried the bed I was unhappy with the heat. I had it on PH and didn't feel it. Then my foot happened to kick over to my husband's side and it was toasty warm. A minute spent moving the plug (and controllers) and it worked fine. Amazing what following the instructions can do.

This product works as shown. It has dual adjustable zones (my wife likes to cook, I merely like to steep) and a nice "preheat" mode that works quickly (turn it on before you brush your teeth, and the bed is warm by the time you get there). We haven't turned on the heat at all this winter, and we would have if we didn't have this.

We have previously owned electric blankets and this is *so* much better. Heat rises, make the most of it!

We've had it about a month so far, and no problems. I was worried whether we should pay a lot more for the more expensive line Amazon offered, but so far I am really happy with how this one turned out.

This is a great product. The preheat function means you don't have to turn it on 30 minutes before bedtime. 5 minutes is plenty for it to warm the bed. Would definitely recommend.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Imperial 140-Thread-Count Polyester Cotton Blend Comfort

I purchased this product last week and it failed out of the box. Sunbeam's heated blanket and mattress pad products have many quality issues. I have purchased 3 within the the last 5 years and they typically will not last more than a single winter. I can guarantee they will not last the 5 year guarantee period. When they quit operating, Sunbeam requires that you ship the blanket to a service center somewhere in the south. After several weeks a blanket is returned to you. Ours was not the blanket shipped. At least the returned blanket was clean. Thanks! I purchased this heated mattresss pad because I thought it might be more durable than the blanket.

Sunbeam used to manufacture quality products that worked well and lasted for years. It's hard to believe this product is still marketed as the "#1 Heated Mattress Pad."

I received this mattress pad heater as a present and it was wonderful for a total of 23 days. It now blinks an error message 'F2' and will not heat up. I googled this in hopes of finding a solution and apparently it happens quite often to other buyers and is un-fixable. Very unhappy with this product (SUNBEAM IMPERIAL HEATED MATTRESS PAD).

I've bought this part after my KitchenAid Superba oven (KEBS177DBL7) lost heat after I used SELF cleaning option (for the first time!). This is infamous design flaw in KitchenAid ovens, however, KitchenAid does not admit (even though there are thousands of reports about this in Internet!). I contacted KitchenAid hoping they send me a new thermostat for free but no such luck: even though I am "a valuable customer" they don't care since my oven is out of warranty. It should be called a "recall" considering number of complains, but again KitchenAid doesn't care.

So, this part replaces the original KitchenAid part (p/n 4452223) perfectly, but I am not going to use SELF CLEANING ever again. And this is my last KitchenAid appliance, I'd never buy anything from them again.

The first time we tried to use the self clean feature on our kitchenaid oven. Two and a half hours into the self clean, the oven showed a fault code and shut off. Upon googling the issue, many said the thermostat had blown. Sure enough, this fixed the problem. I did it myself, saved probably $150.00 and didn't spend any more time on the issue than I would have if I had to deal with someone coming in to fix it for me.

If you have a Kitchenaid Superba oven, DO NOT EVER RUN THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION. It shorts out a fuse that is super expensive. A repair visit will cost you over $100. I ordered this part, removed the oven (found the installation manual online) and easily replaced this burnt out fuse, or thermostat...

I ordered this part to repair my mother-n-law's oven after she ran the self cleaning cycle. It took about 15 min and I had it going again. A lot cheaper than having a repairman do it.

Must be a design flaw...wall ovens frequently stop heating after one uses their self-clean cycle.

The culprit more often than not is a burnt-out thermal fuse on the back of the oven.

Save yourself a bundle...buy this part (or one similar to it for your oven) and install it yourself! It only takes a few minutes, and Presto! your oven works again.

Caution: make sure you order the correct fuse for your oven. Remove the old one before ordering, or look at your oven's specs, to make sure what part you need.
