My beverage center arrived quickly and we were quite eager to get it up and running as my husband always takes too much space in the fridge with his bottled water, soda pop and beer. Just as advertised, it holds a lot of stuff!

The honeymoon ended quickly though, when we found that we could not get the temp to go below 49 degrees, which is pretty tepid for any cold beverage and absolutely unacceptable for beer. We tried everything, reread instructions, etc. You can only set it on a dial, there no indication of what the temp actually is...so we bought a thermometer and got the bad news that despite being on the coldest setting possible, we weren't getting below 49-50, which according to the thermometer we bought is actually in the "danger" zone of letting bacteria breed.

So, we call the manufacturer who says that we should have know it is a "cooler" not a fridge and will only keep beverages 20 degrees cooler than the ambient temp in the house. What a crock!!!!!!

So, we're stuck with a piece of equip that barely cools things down.

I suggest anyone interested in purchasing these things, now matter the price, be well informed between the differences of cooler and refrigerator. I have learned an expensive lesson.

This thing broke in 9 months. Never really got drinks cold anyway. More of a "chiller" than refrigerator. Get something else.

The fridge looks great, would be a perfect for beer, and I thought would be perfect for my bar. Only problem is that it is junk. It does not get cold whatsoever. Might as well stick your beer outside at night to get it cooler. Do not buy unless you know how to rig the thermostat.

I purchased this fridge from another vendor and I was happy with it except it died after about 2 years of use. I looked into getting it repaired, but the person I spoke to said it would be more cost effective to replace it due to the labor charges. I saw on the Target website that another person had the same experience, so it seems the longevity of this product is in question.

Review of Sunbeam Microplush Heated Blanket

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $88.98
Sale Price: $61.95
Today's Bonus: 30% Off

My only complaint is that the description and picture mentioned NOTHING about dual zones and two controls. I specifically purchased this because I don't want two zones I sleep alone in my queen sized bed and I usually sprawl diagonally. I have no need for dual zones. So I was disappointed when I saw the second remote in there. And I also don't like the controls. Not because there's anything wrong with them, but simply because with my setup, I hang them through slats on the headboard. With the other sunbeam controllers, with the dial and numbers on the "top" surface, those end up right where I need them and can read them when on the headboard. These have the number pointing straight down then.

Other than that, it works great. The preheat function doesn't really seem too necessary to me, but unlike some out there, it's an OPTIONAL setting on this unit. You can turn it on, adjust the temp where you want it, and leave it go at that. Or you can do that, then hit the preheat to speed it up apparently, but I didn't notice much of a speed up, and when I tried it while laying in the bed, I didn't get melted like some reviewers complained about on some models with preheat.

It's a very soft blanket, very comfortable. You *can* feel the wires in there when you're looking for them, but you don't feel anything from them when you're just laying in bed with this on top of you, and a comforter on top of that.

Heat up time is good and there's no dead spots or anything. I've been running with it on 7 or so. Auto shutoff works well. And unlike some units I've seen recently, there's no hum or buzzing at all... (One problem I had with the heated mattress pad this is replacing).

I bought this last year around the holidays and loved it. I have severe arthritis and the warmth of getting into bed helped me fall asleep so fast..and stay asleep. Because of the reduced pain, I used it all year..just turned the air conditioner down at night in the summer. Eventually it became less and less warm and now it almost nonexistant. The bed never feels warm when getting in. Yet, during the night, it still does have minimal heat but barely. Just very disappointed and really expected it to last at least a few years. My mother is still using her Sunbeam electric blanket from 20 years ago. Sad how products just aren't what they used to be. Hats off to those marketing fellows...guess thats the point..create a product and make sure it only lasts a little while so they will have to buy a new one!

This blanket replaces a 10+ year old Sunbeam blanket that has served us well. The pre-heat feature works quite well and the bed is nice and toasty after a very short time. The only real complaint I have is that, even at the lowest setting, the heat output is a bit too much. Perhaps this is somewhat aggravated by the comforter we have on top of the blanket. Other things to note -The old blanket had a type of control that could be hung on the bed rails, out of the way. These controls are table top mount with no provision for hanging. The instruction book that came with it covers a whole family of different Sunbeam models and takes some studying to figure out what features this blanket has and how to operate / program the controls. Overall, a nice soft blanket that puts out some serious heat for those chilly nights. One mystery -why does the price vary significantly depending on the color you choose?

Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Based on the other reviews, it sounds as though the EQ2 works for some people and doesn't for others depending on their individual room and HVAC configurations. I have an upstairs room with a vaulted ceiling that is 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter or colder than the rest of the house. The room is more than 200 sq. ft., has only one vent, and is the farthest from the blower. I've had my EQ2 now for 3 years and it is still working fine. The EQ2 brings the temperature difference down to about 4 degrees, which is livable. I tried out the AirFlow Breeze that has 2 DC fans in it but it didn't work as well as the EQ2.

Like everyone else I have a room that doesn't get the benefit of enough heat. Is is fed by a side duct off the main furnace duct really a bad design because the heat on its way up three flights races past this duct and even a scoop doesn't cure the 5 degree deficit. I put this fan over one of the two outlets for this side duct, AND BLOCKED THE OTHER to prevent the fan from just pulling air from the other vent. It now has to pull from the furnace and the 5 degree difference disappeared. It is also on a thermostatic control.

Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.

I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.

While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.

Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

Honest reviews on Suncourt HC300 Heating & Air Conditioning Booster Fan

Works as advertised. My family recently moved into a 2-story colonial, and the airflow coming out of the vents in the master bedroom is a little weak, making it warmer than the rest of the bedrooms on the top floor. I could turn down the thermostat, but that would freeze out the rest of the house. The Suncourt (HC500) and Airflow Breeze boosted registers caught my eye, but I wanted a quick solution (i.e. no order-and-wait) and the local Home Depot had the HC300 in stock.

What can I say, but "it works". Without the HC300, the airflow (floor vents shooting upward) reached a height of 3 ft (based on holding my hand above the vent), and with the booster, it reached a perceptible height of 5 feet. With a single booster over 1 of our 2 vents, the master bedroom was noticeably cooler. In fact it worked so well that I ordered two in-vent boosters (HC500) so that I have one for each duct. The weather has cooled down, so I'm unable to compared those to the HC300, except that they are quieter.

As far as noise goes, the HC300 is not silent, but it is far quieter than a Marpac white noise machine set to the lowest setting (we use that in our baby's room). Actually, for use in a bedroom, I find the low level of white noise kinda soothing. As an added bonus, the fan in the booster doesn't turn off until the air temperature from the ductwork reaches a preset temperature. That means that after the AC (or heat) has turned off, the booster is still scavenging the remaining cool (or warm during the winter) air from the ductwork.

This is a great solution if your airflow to a room is weak, but I can imagine some circumstances (strong airflow, but warm air) where boosting the airflow won't help or you'll have a ceiling effect. Yes, you ideally would want to call in a professional to rebalance the ductwork, but in many instances it would be cost prohibitive (i.e. ripping up flooring to get to the ductwork).

I give it a 4 out of 5, with 1 point deducted for the (albeit low) noise level.

I bought two register boosters several years ago and one of the two recently stopped working; could not be repaired by my engineer husband. No longer carried at local store so I ordered two online. We use them on the second floor of our home to boost heat in the winter and A/C in the summer and they work very well. Hope neither of the new ones ordered via Amazon fail!

This fan barely moves any air. The fan was wired backwards and to have it blow air in you have to set it to exhaust. After three weeks of use, one of the two fans quit working. I wouldn't recommend this fan to anyone.

My son's 6th floor dorm room in San Diego was 80 degrees with no air conditioning. This fan was perfect for two reasons. First, it does not require installation in the window because it has feet and he can place it on the window sill, so he can leave the screen on and not worry about bugs. Secondly the fan exchanges the room air with an intake fan and exhaust fan. His room is running 8 degrees cooler and he is sleeping much better. He already had a free standing fan and wanted a second fan. I am so glad we purchased this Optimus window fan.

The fan is reliable, works fine, but the output is miniscule. For the price, I would have assumed I would be able to create a nice breeze. When the wind kicks up outside over 10 mph, it actually makes the fans move faster than if they were plugged in. Would not recommend if you are using it in the South during the summer.

Honest reviews on Optimus F-5285 8-Inch Electrically Reversible Twin 3-Speed Window

I tried this product out. But it is a cheap piece of junk for the most part. It does not fit in a standard window very well, and is somewhat clunky to use the side visors. The entire product is made of very cheap flimsy plastic. I doubt it is going to last very long, and it feels like it will fall apart if I touch it. It is not worth the price, not even close.

This fan is easy to handle, very light and quiet. All the controls are clearly marked and there is no need to remove the fan from the window to use on the exhaust setting. The thermostat control is not numerical but variable which gives more options than low, med, high. The low and medium fan settings are very quiet. The high fan setting is a little louder but not disturbing. This fan comes with removal feet so it can be used outside of the window. I checked many fans and this one is priced fairly so with no tax and free shipping, it is a good value.

I have provided two personal photos to show size. I am satisfied with this heater but beware that most states, including mine (MA), prohibits vent-less heaters as primary sources of heat and should only be used as supplemental.

With that said, please be aware that although this product is 99.9% efficient, the unit does give off a smell. The gas by-products that are burning off into the air make the .1% and it is important to keep one window cracked 1 inch.

I have a 1000 square foot apartment, and this year (December 2012) temperatures have dropped below 32 degrees a couple of times and this heater has more than done its job. It is extremely warm and very nice to look at with the blue flame and compact size.

This model does NOT have a digital reading of the temperature despite the product image description. I did purchase an indoor digital thermometer along with a carbon monoxide detector for safety, it has not detected any levels of carbon monoxide. It does come with a kit to either mount it to the wall or have it free standing.

I spent over 5 months researching gas heaters before buying this one, and am overall very satisfied with the physical and mechanical performance.

I did have to call customer serviced a couple of times with questions and they were not only helpful but there weren't any wait times.

Great heater! We had a Williams brand wall heater that failed on us. If we were to fix it , it would have cost us around $150 just to buy the pilot for the old heater SO we decided to try this product. Note that the one we bought does not require vent, blue flame, natural gas. The blower fan blows the heat from the unit towards the room it helps make the room heat quicker and it helps keeps the unit and the things close to it reasonably cool. Also we got the blue flame coz we read somewhere that the yellow flame gives out radiant heat (not sure). The 20k btu heats up a 20-30 degrees 700 sqm (approx) fairly quick. I would buy this product as a gift or recommend it to others.

I mounted this on the wall of my basement shop and I set it and forget it. I have an old thermostat that I use to monitor the temperature and it stays a constant 72F. The flame modulation feature works very well. The 2012 winter is very mild, but I am still glad I got it. This is a quality unit.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater 20,000 BTU Natural Gas Blue Flame Vent Free Heater

I am pretty happy with the heater, but I have run several tests on the blower fan ... and I can't even tell a 1 inch difference in whether the fan is on or off.

I hear the fan running, (and I can see the blades moving) but it does not blow into the room (not even one inch more than if the fan is not on) I am beginning to think the fan blades have no significant pitch to them ie they just spin but do not move any air forward.

What do you suggest?

I have two of these units in my 3200 square foot top floor loft (which always gets the hottest) with 15 foot high ceilings, and they are FANTASTIC! They start cooling almost immediately, even in the middle of a 95 degree heat wave. Very nice looking units as well, I like the fact that the remote control shows you the ambient room temperature even when the unit is not on. Very easy to install, I did it myself (I am a 120 pound woman) and only needed the hubby to help lift the unit to the window after I had put in the sleeve. The hardware provided is very secure, I have no fears whatsoever of the unit coming out of the window. Shop around though for the best price with shipping and tax (if any). Also do your research and make sure you have the proper outlet for this unit and your window can accommodate it.

Reviews of Biddeford 100% Poly Knit MicroPlush Heated Blanket

Customer Ratings:

Compared to my previous two Sunbeam blankets that were rather scratchy, this blanket is super soft. But more importantly, this blanket is warmer than the last Sunbeam ever was. Both Sunbeams quit heating on one or both sides within about three years. Hopefully, this blanket will last longer than they did. The only problem with this blanket is that it is so soft that little dogs that love blankets will want to nest on it and can easily snag it. Of course, the instructions say to keep pets off of it. My dog does not read.

Update Dec. 22, 2011 I carefully folded and stored the blanket while it was not needed during warm/hot weather. This fall I got it back out and it is still working perfectly! My dog is so happy!

No hard wires to make the blanket stiff and unbendable. I use the blanket to warm the bed before I go to sleep and sometimes leave it on low heat just for comfort. Can't leave it on very high with the down comforter because it gets so hot it will run me out of bed.

Best Cuisinart Private Reserve 6 Bottle Wine Cellar Deals

Customer Ratings:

Pros: 1) It works quite well keeps a very even temperature, which I think is the only thing that's more important than keeping a wine cool to preserve it. (My thought is the juice "breathes" through the cork, and thermal expansion, either up or down messes with the chemistry more than anything.)

2) It actually holds 8 bottles stacked if you remove the two top racks.

3) Looks very well-made, the digital temp (in degrees F or C) is great.

4) Very easy to use.

Cons: 1) Smelled terrible: like Bondo or fingernail polish at first. Because of the "breathing" that wine does (mentioned above) I recommend leaving it open out on the back porch for a few days before using it, and then with a bag of activated charcoal in it for a while (baking soda didn't help.)

2) It's loud maybe as loud as a regular refigerator running. The heat-sink fans on the back sound like a suped-up computer system, but what's worse is that they go on an off every few seconds (apparently precisely adjusting the interior temperature.) If the fans would stay on constantly, at least you could get used to it.

3) If the power goes off, it resets to 45 degrees which is way too cold and negates the benefit of Pro number 1. The last thing you want is a slowly-warming bottle going up to 65 or 70 in a few hours to then be quickly chilled to 45 I can just see the cork sliding back and forth like a piston on an antique locomotive.

If they packed it with a bag of charcoal, had a quieter fan that you could set to be on-continuously, and used non-volatile memory for the temperature setting, it would get 5 stars.

This is a great size for a vacation cottage or to fit a smaller space. It's sophisticated enough to set different temperatures for the different wines. It has an interior light and a circulating fan. The instruction booklet gives you the 8 settings it has for various wines. The wine cellar looks good, so you could have it wherever you need your wine for meals or entertaining.

Although it is quieter than other beverage coolers and small refrigerators that we've had, it still hums quite frequently. We had to move it away from our dining room so it wouldn't annoy us.

There are plenty of preset temperature settings along with manual if you need them. I do reccomend you keep it a cool room and out of direct sunlight as the instructions say. I definately reccomend this product to anyone that needs a small refrigerator.

I bought this product hoping to be able to help preserve some of my better wines during the warm summer months. According to the insert with the product, if the room temperature is 77 then you can't do better than 54 in the wine cellar. My house temps usually run around 78+ through the summer, so this unit won't even make the 54 setting or the 57. I have it set at 64 and it continuously cycles on an off (every 30 seconds or so) with a fan that's very obnoxious and not at all quiet as advertised. On the insert and in bold letters they state "This is a wine cellar, not a refrigerator." I'm not so sure I would even call it a 'wine cellar'...more of an energy gulper (approx. 100 watts according to the user guide.)

I returned the first unit I received as defective. Amazon promptly shipped me a replacement, but unfortunately it arrived with the same defect. Units are not calibrated to any level of usable accuracy. A set point of 10% on the humidistat is actually 45% as verified with a quality sling psychrometer. At 20 degree outside temperature you should set your humidifier to 35% and even lower as the temperature drops. This is not possible with this amount of mis-calibration.

Discount Danby DCR34W 3.2-Cubic Foot Compact Refrigerator

Customer Ratings:

I bought this refrigerator for my son to take with him to college and it ended up being a terrific choice. We were limited to less than 4.5 cu. feet, so in going lower than that, I thought this would end up being pretty small. Unboxed however, it was larger than I expected and bigger than the picture would lead you to believe; I'm 5'7" and this comes nearly up to my hip.

I purchased the black, and the entire refrigerator outer surface is a matte, slightly textured sort of fingerprint-proof finish that wipes clean very easily.

This was surprisingly quiet; having checked out models in our local appliance stores and finding them all annoyingly loud, I didn't think I could do any worse picking one online. This was a very pleasant surprise. It was whisper quiet on startup and when it kicked in each time the cooling cycle started, it barely even registered. There was no vibration, even when things started getting stacked on top (a coffee maker and the usual cups and junk).

The shelf levels are pretty short, non-moveable and not practical for anything other than snack and leftover storage use, which is exactly what my son's dorm use happens to be. The refrigerator comes with a clear plastic tray with holes for keeping eggs from rolling around and a miniscule (useless) ice cube tray. The freezer compartment is very tiny and I can't even imagine what you could fit in there beyond a handful of Popsicles, although it got nice and cold even on the mid-cool setting.

Just one word of warning: my unit came undamaged, and I can't speak for all shippers' policies, but be aware that if your unit comes in its original manufacturer's box, check it out immediately. There is absolutely no packing inside the box besides a thin top and bottom piece of styrofoam. I took the top piece out to unbox it and to my horror, found there was nothing else, that the box was actually the size of the refrigerator.

A dent on the back edge of the refrigerator and the plastic strip on the top is cracked but it is difficult for me to return because it is too heavy for me. Also I don't know if the shipping charges are refundable. There is no styrofoam at the edges to protect the body of the refrigerator.
