The heater is small yet heats better than the larger older model we replaced. Packed with great functions and extremely portable. This heater is the best looking too. We have had no problems to date either. I highly recommend this portable heater.

I purchased this item on Nov. 2, 2011, (received it on Nov. 9, 2011), replacing an existing heater that had gone out. It was easy to hook up to the existing line that was already installed in the room from the old heater. I have NO complaints about the heater, I love it, it does everything it say and then some. It has a glass plate along with a screen in the front of it, which at first when I read that it's a 'cool touch' heater, I was very sceptically about that, but honestly it is very cool to the touch, even in the front! The only place the heat comes out is at the top and us having dogs in the house, makes this very comforting to me, as our old one was a 'brick' burner heater and it did leave the front open to being able to get to the flame and the bricks and possibly getting burnt or worse. In an approximate 15x15 area room, we can comfortable set it around 1-2 on the dial and stay very toasty with it. It's a dual gas heater, meaning you have have either natural gas or propane to hook it to, we have the propane, which there was nothing to do but hook it to the right line hole, (which are very clearly marked) and didn't have to worry about setting any other settings with it, it also has an electronic push button ignition, which does not even take batteries to work it and comes with a bunch of safety features as well. I plan on getting a larger one to replace the old brick burner we now have in our living room, but first I would like to let you know about the seller we purchased it from through Amazon, Northern Tools & Equipment, it states both here on Amazon and Northern's website that it comes with a blower,(but can't be used with this model), IT DOES NOT! I have went through countless emails back and forth about this between Amazon and Northern Tools, they, (Northern Tools & Equipment) just keep telling me that they will refund the money if I send it back to them and AFTER it passes THEIR inspection, which anyone will tell you that it won't after being hooked up! So, when I order my next ProCom heater I WILL NOT order it through Northern Tools & Equipment! I will make doubly sure that it comes from another seller and not Northern Tools! They will not stand by what they sell as far as what is suppose to come with it. I have no problems with Amazon, I have purchased many, many items over many years through them and will continue to make purchases through Amazon, they are a great company to buy from, they strongly stand behind what they sell and they have done everything in their power to correct this problem, but Northern Tools & Equipment refuses to co-operate, except as I stated earlier to return the product and refund my money after it passes inspection. So, if you want a very good heater that is easy to hook up and does what it says it will do, then I highly suggest the ProCom heater and it does come with a one year warranty included.

I purchased this unit to replace a ProCom 10,000 btu unit I had gotten in Quartzsite, Arizona 7 years ago. That unit worked fine until last winter when it wouldn't stay lit. I thought this was the same unit until I received it & it said on the box "not for use in an rv" It also said that it would not work above 4,500 ft. None of this was mentioned on the web site. I returned it having to pay postage both ways.

Honest reviews on PROCOM Blue Flame Wall Heater - 10,000 BTU Output, 300 Sq. Ft

I purchased mine on sale at Northern Tool while visiting my in-laws during Christmas of 2009. I grew up in the family plumbing business so was able to install the gas line myself, but those without experience will need professional installation. If you are replacing an existing appliance it is a non-issue. Otherwise, gas pipe and installation will cost more than the unit itself.

We live in Appalachia where power can go out for days and intended it to provide backup heat for one room. Once installed, however, the warm glow of the blue flame was irresistible and it has been on every winter since. We set its thermostat slightly lower than that of our inefficient central heat which now kicks on just often enough to disperse the heat and provide ventilation. This appliance has paid for itself in savings on our gas bill! It is supposed to only heat 300 Sq. Ft., but 700 Sq. Ft. is comfortable with a sweater when power is out and outside temperatures are below freezing.

We used to run our generator constantly when power was out just for the furnace fan, but since we bought this we can rely on a $100 inverter to cool our freezer an hour in the morning and evening and watch TV a few hours a night. Instead of standing in the freezing cold every 6 hours to refill the generator, we could fill up our Jeep once every two weeks. We live near the well heads, but if natural gas would be interrupted it will run about 3 days on a 20# propane grill tank (left outside).

An Excellent, well-built little heater (I now own two of this model).

The mandatory things I needed included:

1. A room sensitive/automatic thermostat (NOT the low-med-high manual type)

2. The size needed to be around 10,000 BTU's

3. That it was made by a trusted company

4. Priced low enough to fit my retirement budget

This unit fit the bill perfectly. I have used a much larger PROCOM heater as my primary living space heater for many years and, as long as I clean out the pilot every year (shut off for the summer), it runs perfectly.

The good:

The unit was well packed and the Installation instructions were accurate.

Everything needed to install the heater(including wall mounting anchors/screws and an allen wrench to UN-cork the gas port) was included.

The unit has a glass cover plate that extends across much of the front burn area (behind the metal grill) which serves as an added flame safety device, dust shield and draft blocker (to keep the pilot from being blown out) which is really an excellent idea. Access to this area to service the pilot is via four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom of the front grill.

-The igniter spark is strong and consistent. Once air was out of the gas pipe the pilot lit quickly and stays on.

The bad:

Nothing to speak of.

Notes:

As a dual use type (can be set to either Natural gas or Propane) it has two internal regulators and independent pilot systems. You should note that the pilot on the right is for the propane. It burns cleanly and fully covers the thermocouple which glows red as it should.

The gas pipe inlet ports are located on the bottom left as you face the heater. I ran my 1/2" black pipe to the left of the heater which allowed for a gentle "s" type curve of the flex pipe. I also purchased the Mr. Heater F271239 One-Stop Universal Gas-Appliance Hook-Up Kit which has everything you will need (except a gas pressure tap which is optional as long as you know your line pressure is in spec.)

The temperature sensing bulb is on the back of the heater very close to the bottom edge. Being on the back, you should be aware of the temperature of the wall you are mounting the heater to. I needed to mount one of my units on a cement wall which constantly radiates cool air during the winter. To minimize excessive and false thermostat turn-on, I insulated the wall behind the heater with 1" hard board insulation then used 2x4 pieces to stand the heater off the wall. So far, so good.

Summary:

The unit burns cleanly with a perfect blue flame and It puts out a good amount of heat for the modest size of the flame area. I liked the heater so much that I purchased a second one and will now be able to run the entire winter with the oil burner off.

Good luck and stay warm!

Winter only happens once a year and is separated by many months that dull the memories of the bad heaters you bought in winters past. For the winter season of 2010/2011, I purchased two different Optimus heaters for my house, the H-7328 and the H-7318.

I bought both units at the same time in October, so they sat in their unopened boxes well past the time you could return them. When winter came I set my brand new heaters up. The 7318 rattled so bad I could barely hear myself think. And within days the 7328 stopped oscillating and started to smell like burnt wiring. By February neither unit functioned, both thermostats apparently didn't work anymore so the unit that would actually provide heat would stay on forever, even if the unit fell face down on the carpet. YIKES, talk about dangerous.

So in March when I went to throw these units in the garage, on top of the pile of totally useless things I have bought in years past, I noticed something odd. I reached down and dug out three old heaters from the year before. Apparently I bought an Optimus H-5280, an H-3013 and an H-5230.

So in two years I have purchased no less than five Optimus heaters of which only one still works as advertised, which only goes to prove one thing, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT, for ever buying an Optimus product. If they don't fail to work at all, then they stand a good chance of burning you alive while you sleep.

There seems to be poor thought in engineering all electric heaters. This one is in line with all the others, it has its good and bad points. Best not to be real interested in functions other than heat, at which this one is ok.

Pros: good heat output, oscillates, digital display, nice looking, 3 yr. warrenty, oscillation stops and starts

with the operation of the thermostat

Cons: hi and low heat are just that, heat, they aren't connected to the thermostat, turn it on and will run

forever I guess.

to use the thermostat you must get to auto and to do that you must touch either the up or down buttons and

presto you get auto. just set the desired temp and is shuts on and off like you would think a heater should.

don't expect even temp, it gets 2 degrees over set temp to shut off and 1 degree under set temp to turn back

on, that 3 degree swing is pretty noticable but most heaters are this way. I almost forgot, the auto only

functions with high heat, no choice there so if you want low heat you have no thermostat control

don't pick it up and move it or it resets itself to high heat, and the thermostat goes to 75, you will have

to go through the whole procedure to set another temp and get back to auto, this is a function of the tip

over switch I guess.

you have to lean way over to read the display, bad angle, to small, or just bad lighting, led's would be

better choice

who, now really, needs to have a remote control for a space heater

Seems to be a lot of cons but all heaters are pretty much the same in function. Doing it over I would get the

cheapest heater with a rotary switch and a rotary thermostat. Forget the digital display and remote control. Also

forget those $400.oo infrared heaters with nice wood cabinets. Physics is physics and E=ir still applies no matter

the price. 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what generates the heat. put a fan behind 15 100watt light bulbs

and you get the same amount of heat. This heater does what it was designed to do pretty well, but I think I could probably make one the way I would like it to function, just would cost to much to do.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-7318 Portable 17-Inch Oscillating Tower Heater

I love this heater! I've gone through several electric heaters that do not warm up a room fast enough. I have had this heater for over 2 years now and it finally broke. The caution light turns on and then it doesn't do anything. We think it may be the thermal fuse so we might head to Radio Shack and fix it ourselves. Anyway, this heater has traveled with me from 3 different houses and it lasted throughout. I also love the remote that comes with it. The oscillating feature was great and I loved how it turned on and heated up quickly. The digital temperature was easy to read and it turned off when the room would be at that temperature. Small heater with a lot of power! Definitely recommend this product. Just hope it doesn't break!

As others have experienced, the probe for my thermometer failed to work out of the package. The temperature rose very quickly and then froze at a "HI" reading, despite powering on and off, changing batteries, etc. I contacted the company, and they were kind enough to ship me a new probe and they determined the original one was likely faulty. The new probe worked terrific and I was happy with my digital oven thermometer and its performance. For 6 months. Then the probe froze in the "HI" reading again. I once again contacted Maverick regarding the failure of the new probe and was told that: "Getting 6 months of use out of it before it fails doesn't seem like a defective probe to me." (actual quote from email), and that I was welcome to purchase a replacement probe for $12 each or 2/$20. So it seems to me that the probe portion of the unit is basically a "disposable" that needs to be periodically replace in order for the unit to function. This is not stated anywhere in the product literature, and frankly, is very disappointing and misleading. I expected that I was purchasing a product that would last at least twice as long as it did. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing a replacement probe or this product again. Now, it's simply relegated to being yet another kitchen timer. Very disappointing.

Just remove the battery cover, remove the isolating plastic from the battery and the unit is ready. Push the sensor into the clip, attach the clip to the oven shelf and plug the sensor in to the unit. Now find somewhere to mount the head unit and that's it.

The only criticism right now would be that the clip that is supposed to attach the sensor to the oven shelf doesn't locate well. It works, but it really needs reshaping slightly so that the clip won't slip up out of the grid.

Item worked for one year, three weeks. Then had widely varing temperature readings, or indications that the oven had reached over maximum temperature (500+ degrees) when oven was set for 325 degrees.

Honest reviews on Maverick Baker's Oven Thermometer

I knew my oven was inconsistent. I'm pretty sure it was original equipment for my 25 year old house. And like everything else about this house, I can find equivalent replacements for doors, light fixtures and faucets in the bargain bin at Home Depot. I shouldn't be surprised that the appliances are of similar quality.

I wish I could say that this little item solved all my problems. But all this digital thermometer told me was that my oven was emotionally incapable of maintaining anything resembling a consistent temperature. The temperature on the knob bore absolutely no relation to the temperature in the oven. Turning the temperature knob up or down produced completely random results. So with tax refund check in hand, I purchased a new oven. I would like to drag the old oven out into the street and shoot it like a mad dog, but discharging firearms within city limits is apparently illegal, even in Texas. But I digress.

This thing saved me months/years of frustration trying to work with an unworkable appliance by showing me how truly awful my oven is in a very consistent, verifiable manner. The thermometer simple to use, and the 20 hour timer is a nice feature. I use it to remind me that my 12 hour dough rise has, in fact, been rising 12 hours.

My only quibble is that the cable for the probe is pretty short. I'd planned on sticking it to the control panel on the back of the stove, but the wire length is entirely inadequate. I'd happily pay an extra 5 bucks to get another 2 feet (0.00303030303 furlongs) for a little extra flexibility in placement.

Other than that minor aside, it works great. The price can't be beat. I'll still use to with my new oven as a double-check on the oven's own thermometer. To quote Ronald Reagan: "Trust, but verify. Especially when baking bread."

Even though I got pretty good at determining when my oven reached 450 degrees by touch alone, this thermometer is almost completely pain-free. And doesn't raise near as many blisters.

For the price of this thing, it should be as standard in the kitchen as a spatula or wooden spoon. 20 bucks is cheap insurance in case your oven decides it wants to report its temperature in Celsius or Kelvins for the day without notifying you.

If you use your oven, buy this thermometer.

It might be okay if this thing were flimsy, or had hard to press buttons, or just about any of a thousand issues aside from the one it presents. I read this issue on another review (I think it was listed under a different item heading, but definitely the same product) but assumed the user was doing something oddperhaps turning on the device well into the heating process?

I can safely say he or she likely was not. The first one or two times I used this, it seemed to work okay giving temps in the same range as an old analog thermometer I had borrowed. After that though, I began turning it on (with a cold oven) only to get the word "HI" looking back at me. It never changes, and power cycling the thermometer does not help either. Changing the batteries? Nope. It just continues to read "HI". "HI" doesn't help when I'm looking for temperatures.

Buy Cook Rite Oven Thermometer, Stainless Steel

Customer Ratings:

My oven has always been much hotter than the number on the dial. So, a while back, I bought this oven thermometer (Taylor 503 Connoissuer Line Oven Thermometer) which I hated because it was hard to read. So recently I bought this Sunbeam one and an MIU one (MIU #90069 Commercial Oven Thermometer) because it was 4 for 3 and I was tired of not knowing the oven temperature.

Then I turned my oven on to somewhere between 325 and 350F, put all three thermometers in the same part of the oven, and let it heat for a while. After 10 or 15 minutes, I opened the door and took a picture of the thermometers so I could get their readings at the same time.

The results were:

Sunbeam: approx 380F

MIU: approx 360F

Taylor: approx 380F

So, the 380-degrees have it. Anyway, my cooking experiences have led me to believe that my oven is more likely to be off by about that much.

The Sunbeam and the Taylor had the same temperatures, so the only difference between them is that the numbers on the Sunbeam are legible, and the Taylor costs three times as much.

Hooray Sunbeam!

I've never needed an oven thermometer before. That is until I moved to California and my apartment had an electric stove.

Me,only ever having used gas stoves, made the mistake of thinking that they were all the same. Well, my first meal in this oven was supposed to be meatloaf. I put the oven at 350, put the loaf in the oven and figured I'd have ample time to take a shower.

Well 10 minutes later, my house was full of smoke and there was a lovely black brick of what used to be meat in my oven.

After this little escapade, I was so paranoid about cooking anything in this oven, I would only set the thermostat to 150 and watch everything like a hawk.

Then one day, I'm surfing on Amazon and see this little beauty. I ordered it immediately. I now know that my oven was cooking at at temperature above 500 degrees (the thermometer only reads up to 500) when I so innocently put it on to 350 so I could cook my meatloaf.

The thermometer itself is very easy to read and can be put into the oven any number of ways, from sitting on a shelf to hanging from one. I am no longer afraid to use this oven and have made pies, cookies, cakes, pork chops, chicken and especially meatloaf several times now.

No more burnt food, no more smoke filled house and I'm getting ready to re label my oven thermometer dial to what the temperatures really are now (200 will get me 375) so the next person that lives here won't have the same problem.

Even if your oven thermostat is spot on, I would still get one of these, since you never know when it's going to decide to lose calibration and begin cooking at different temperatures.

Happy Cooking!

After I realized that my Sunbeam thermometer was off 10 degrees by testing it against other more accurate thermometers, I was told by Sunbeam that this thermometer is rated to be plus or minus 15 degrees of the actual temperature. Which makes this thermometer not accurate enough for my oven.

I bought this because my oven wasn't cooking things with any regularity, some things were done on time, some would take up to 45 minutes longer. This thermometer I have to assume it's accurate since as I mentioned, the stove has been acting strange has showed me that my oven temperature varies and doesn't stay constant at all. I hung it on the bottom of my top rack and it has never been in the way and I count on it. I will be buying a new oven as soon as finances allow.

Try to find a better one. My oven takes about 8 to 10 minutes to reach 400 this thermometer takes 15-20 minutes to reach 350 it shows my oven is not hot enough even though food is burning, so I know it is not accurate. I have never seen a thermometer take so long to register a temperature. Its also a pain cause it doesn't stand up without constantly falling over, & hanging it always falls off the hook with little vibration.
