Discount Honeywell, Inc. Prestige Hd 2-Wire Iaq Kit

Honeywell, Inc. Prestige Hd 2-Wire Iaq Kit
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I purchased the Prestige IAQ after comparing with other high-end thermostats (Ecobee, Nest) and have been very happy with the system. I didn't want to run new wiring, so the Prestige fit the bill perfectly.

Pros:

+ Wireless temp/humidity sensors (outdoor included, optional indoor sensor extra)

+ Circulate fan mode to even out temperatures in the house

+ 2 wire connection between the Equipment Interface Module and the thermostat

+ Proper humidifier support (no extra relay needed like the Nest 2nd Gen)

Cons:

Internet connectivity is extra-cost and basic in function (lacks usage/efficiency reporting)

No automatic learning capability like the Nest

Can be challenging to install (took me 3 hours, being extra-careful)

Potential deal-breaker:

Honeywell markets the Prestige as a PRO-installed device and will not provide any support or warranty service to do-it-yourself consumers (despite listing an 800 number in the manual).

I know that I take a risk by purchasing and installing this system myself, but I hope that it proves as reliable as my past Honeywell thermostats. Sadly, if it does break, I know that Honeywell won't be willing to help me.

First, there aren't a lot of options given the size in terms of dimensions and BTU output and price range. Cast iron was my first choice, but too expensive. The stove is attractive, easy to use and does have good heat output. It's high enough so that it doesn't have to sit on a mantle. It arrived when they said it would. Pretty easy to set up. I've only had it for 5 or six weeks, but I like it.

We have a cold ground level family room that's about 15x20 and this heats it up great. Blasts the heat out.

The remote is very convenient. Forget the thermostat control...it just doesn't work/calibrate correctly. Made in China...you understand.

Now the bad news..

After 11 months of flawless operation the remote receiver died. Called the manufacturer, and they said they would ship me a new one, free of charge. After about a couple of days of manually turning it on using the switch on the receiver box it quit entirely. Apparently the receiver sends a small charge to a solenoid that starts it up. If the remote receiver dies (and I've read a few review where this has happened) there is no manual way to start the stove. Sure, you can always get he pilot lit with a match, but the solenoid won't open the internals to allow the gas to flow into the burners unless the remote receiver is working and delivers the small voltage to the solenoid. Now the joke part...since the receiver is a back-ordered part the manufacturer offered to let me RMA the entire stove..which I am doing. So for something the size of a cigarette pack I need to swap the entire stove. It's getting cold out and I miss it already.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one..

It really is a great stove. During the recent hurricane when we didn't have power this thing was fantastic. Kept us all warm for 13 days.

Just understand how that remote receiver works...they make a model without the remote...you may want to consider it.

Update 9/19/2013:

Lost the remote (sigh)...If you go to ProComm or SkyCom (the remote manufacturer) you'll pay dearly ($150+) for a replacement. I did check the auction sites and was able to replace it for $25...just make sure it's one that will send voltage to the solenoid. There are 2 types...The unit works good as new, and this is our 3rd season using it. Last year it was a lifesaver after Sandy. We didn't have electricity for 2 weeks and this unit saved us.

When I first started to look for a replacement for my old (very, very) Black and Decker SpaceSaver toaster oven I had a long list of requirements. As I hadn't shopped for a toaster oven in about 30 years I didn't realize that those stipulations were wildly optimistic. After months of frustrating research (and one very bad purchase), I was left with two show-stopping requirements: no Teflon (or Teflon-like) coating because of the fumes that emits, and an "I am done" sound that didn't shatter my eardrums and cause my dog to run away from home.

The TCO600 meets both of those requirements. There is no Teflon coating just bare metal. (I would have preferred the old style blue/black enamel like my old toaster oven had and like my real oven has, but, as I said, I gave up on most of my "prefers".) The sound when the timer (60 minute) is complete is one "ding". That I love.

I'm pleased with the unit so far. The convection fan is quiet, the oven heats to the temperature set. I've used it to bake a few things and was satisfied. Haven't yet used the broiler. The toaster is not the most convenient to use, and you cannot choose a setting and leave it there. (One must turn the timer past 20, then turn it to whatever you think might be the right setting for the bread and wait for the timer to turn it off.) The toast was not bad at all.

It is nice looking, chrome front, painted silver metal along the sides and top. That chrome is going to show every fingerprint that touches it, but it's wiped clean easily enough. It does get hot, as toaster ovens do, but it hasn't caused any problems. The crumb tray is very accessible in the front of the unit. I do like the analog dials rather than pushbutton digital stuff.

It's a bigger footprint than I was looking for. My old unit was not called "SpaceSaver" for nothing: it was small outside and huge inside.

I have not had any problems with the oven being on the same circuit as the refrigerator. My house is fairly new, so maybe that makes a difference.

I've had it about two months. So far, so good.

We bought this oven based on its size/appearance and the poor reviews of other models.

* It's large capacity: They claim 6 slices can fit, maybe so, but I what I know for sure is that 4 frozen waffles fit very easily; it's also easy to reach in to remove them when done, no more using a fork to pull them out, my hand can fit w/o risk of hitting a hot element

* It looks good: It's got the stainless steel look and matches my counter-top microwave. Despite its capacity, it's unobtrusive on the counter and doesn't dominate other appliances near it.

* Timer/Convection/"Done" noises: Another review on here claims that the timer is very loud when running and that the sound of the oven element turning on and off is also overly loud. I think s/he must have a bad unit, because that is simply not the case with mine. When the timer is running you do hear a "ticking" noise, but it's not overly loud at all, it's quite soft actually. When the heating elements turn on/off there is a soft "click", I wouldn't have given it another thought except that I was watching for it due to the other review. The convection fan is also very quiet--yes, it is not completely silent, but there is no way that I would consider it loud or annoying in any way. The "done" ding is pretty loud, but that's a good thing in my opinion.

* Crumb Tray: It's a decent one. I was looking for two things--a little bit of depth, and front removal. This has both. Though one thing to note is that the fit/finish of the tray/door is tight and as a result the crumb tray will open approx. 1/4-1/2" after you open the oven door, it's not a big deal at all and many people might not even notice it. The crumb tray to me was important because our old toaster oven had one that you had to flip open from the bottom, it was basically worthless unless you picked up the oven and held it perfectly level until you were over the sink, then opened it. This one lets you easily clean it without moving the oven or making a mess.

* Elements: It has 4 heating elements, they aren't protected by a metal guard and should be easy to wipe off when cool if something drips on them

* Controls: Here's where it goes from 5 to 4 stars. There are three knobs which I'll call top, middle and bottom, you can view them by doing a zoom on the product image to see what I'm talking about. The top knob is straight forward enough, it has 4 positions: Conv/Bake, Bake, Toast and Broil. The middle knob is the typical temp knob with a wide range of "min to warm", then numbered in 50*F increments from 200*F to "450*/Broil". The bottom knob is the timer, turn it one detent to the left and it's in "always on" mode, to the right is the toast "shade control" and beyond that a 10-60 minute timer (in 5 min increments). The "shade control" is my number one complaint: It's way too small! It represents about 10* out of 360* of knob movement, which means about 1" of travel at most, the result is that it's very different to select a good position that doesn't result in either "not toasted" or "burnt", it's also dangerous because someone careless or not paying attention could easily turn the knob to 20 minutes and then end up burning something very badly.

What could be done different? My suggestion would be to make the bottom knob a "toast only" knob, giving you the whole turn of the knob to equal the shade of your toast. Make a "broil" position on the middle knob just beyond 450*. These two suggestions eliminate the need for two of the four positions on the top knob which could become the new oven timer, perhaps 0-60 on one side for Conv/Bake and 0-60 on the other for just Bake. Frankly having an "always on" position for a toaster oven is just not a good idea anyway, as you should be checking it at least once an hour and when you do that you can just turn the timer knob to add more time.

So overall I'm happy with this oven except for the somewhat touchy "shade control". I do feel like we'll need to warn any guests who might use it, because I can imagine a relative or two popping in some toast then turning it to 20 minutes and walking away.

I've had this for a few weeks now and I've used it exclusively...I haven't turned my oven on once. That's the whole reason I have a toaster oven of this size to begin with, so I can do the majority of my baking in it rather than heating up the oven.

I've cooked everything from frozen pizzas to a soufflé in this oven. I've found that the convection cooking is no faster and in some cases is significantly slower, than regular baking. Frozen pizzas take a few minutes longer on convection/bake than on bake. I made a small loaf of bread, which took 20 extra minutes on bake, after the 55 minutes on convection/bake! It's only supposed to take 55 minutes total! Same with the soufflé...it took almost double the time.

As a toaster oven goes, it's good. Good size, looks nice, easy to clean and easy to use. As a convection oven, it's absolutely worthless. I am extremely disappointed in it compared to my previous convection oven experience.

So, if you're just looking for a toaster oven, you can't go wrong. If you want a convection oven to speed up your cooking, look elsewhere.

EDIT #2: After rearranging my kitchen so that I can accommodate the toaster oven to a different outlet (no small feat in my Brooklyn Apartment), it appears that separating the oven from the refrigerator did the trick. Fridge now seems unaffected. Which is really good. I can now use this toaster oven. It does cook well and is better constructed than other toaster ovens I inspected at various stores. So, it's a keeper for now....

EDIT: After using this toaster oven several times, it seems to have knocked my refrigerator out temporarily. I surmise that the high wattage with its heating elements constantly turning on and off had shut down the refrigerator's motor/compressor as the oven was probably drawing too much power. This is very disappointing as it cooked good. I immediately disconnected the product. My refrigerator rebooted after about 20 minutes or so. Of course, the temperature in the refrigerator was going up. Luckily the refrigerator has been working properly 24 hours after the shut down.

If you want this oven, don't connect it to the same outlet as your refrigerator! I'll leave my original review in place for now.

_______________________

Living by myself in a Brooklyn apartment means that your big gas oven will heat up the apartment everytime you use it. So, for years now, I've been using toaster ovens to cook just about everything. No sense firing up the big oven for a personal frozen pizza.

I was using a DeLonghi digital toaster oven, but it was too small. It cooked very fast but I needed something a little bigger.

Most of the toaster ovens I inspected at Macy's were poor-quality looking.

Then I saw the Waring Pro. It looked better constructed than most. So, I decided to spend an extra $20 and get this model.

So far, so good. It's my first convection toaster oven. The fan is very quiet. Cook time isn't as fast as the smaller DeLonghi, but it's not really a problem.

Cooking is more even with the Waring Pro. I used to get half my pizza burnt with my previous ovens. So I guess the convection fan does make cooking a little more even.

Construction of this unit is pretty good. The door closes well and opens with no problem. The crumb tray pulls out easily for cleaning. Knobs turn easily. The oven can stay on indefinitely, or it can be set by the timer.

The top and bottom heating elements turn on and off to maintain proper heat. This is also stated in the manual.

As for the manual, its very sparse. My only gripe so far is that the manual should have been more comprehensive with a somewhat higher priced oven like this.

The back of the oven also curves outward to handle a 12" pizza. The size of this oven is really good and can handle most everything you can put in it.

So, hopefully it will serve me well for quite a while.

As for the first review regarding their unit catching fire with pop tarts, please be advised that pop tarts contain an ingredient in its frosting that is very flammable. Homes have been burned down from pop tarts while cooking in toasters! Just google it and see for yourself!

I got this toaster oven after an exhaustive research period searching for a toaster oven that had no non-stick coatings (i.e. Teflon etc.). It was my great hope and I gave it every chance in the book but in the end I had to reject it before I even got to the point where I actually got to cook in it!

From the research that I had done (and from the user's manual in the 1st oven I tried, yes that's right, I tried twice) you need to "burn-off" the protective coatings / lubricants in the oven. I did this in my master bathroom where I could be sure that the fan vented directly outside.

I followed the directions and in the last stage I turned the selector from bake to broil left the room for five minutes, heard something fall and returned to find that the handle had melted off. That's MELTED off.

Now, I will admit I left the glass door closed while the broiling element was on but the main culprit here is a flaw in the design/engineering in the way in which the handle is attached to the door and the fact that they used a type of plastic that obviously cannot hold up to the highest temperature that this oven can put out.

If you look you'll see that the handle is attached to the glass along its entire length. Noting this, I looked at other models and most of them only attach the handles at two points.

But it can't be just this. They must have used the wrong kind of plastic for the handles. I can say this because, wanting this oven to succeed, I returned the first oven and tried a second one. This time making sure not to "broil the handle".

Well, it has spent a month in my bathroom now, being "burnt-off" periodically. I kept doing this because there was this odor that just wouldn't go away. I've finally accepted that it is the plastic handle heating up and not some other mysterious oil that was taking a long time to burn off (as I was hoping). The smell occurs at a relatively low temperature, 300 degrees, and is not pleasant at all. I'm definitely not going to eat food cooked in it. If you feel the handle and the exterior it does get hot at a relatively low temperature.

So, I'm giving up! This one's going back tomorrow, no more chances.

So, no, I never got to cook food in it. Yes, the timer was click-y as it ticked away. I imagine it would take some time to gain experience on dial to determine toast "darkness". The dinger bell was average. What can I say? It's low tech. That's what you get with low tech. Dials to turn and things that click and ding.

My problem's not with the low tech it's with the low grade plastic used for the handles. I consider that to be a safety and health hazard. It's unfortunate because otherwise I think this could have been a hit.

As an additional FYI I believe that the manufacturer is aware of the flaw because the manual in the second unit did NOT mention the "burning-off" procedure. Which makes me wonder...what else they have "overlooked"?

So the search for the NO non-stick interior goes on...

EDIT: After much searching I never did find a toaster oven that I was 100% certain didn't have a non-stick/Teflon coating.

I ended up purchasing an Oster® Large Digital Countertop Oven Model: TSSTTVMNDG. I just posted a review here on Amazon if you want to search for it.

Review of Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control

Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is absolutely the best heater available. It is essentially the same as the Bionaire BH3900 (see reviews there), but this one has a wireless remote control that allows you to set it at a certain temperature, and it will maintain that temperature consistently. Just like the reviews said about the BH3900, this unit is almost silent, except for a soft "click" when it toggles on/off, as well as a slight crackling sound, which is produced as the elements expand and contract. It is very safe, as the heat comes up from the top, not the side, so the side will at most feel warm, not dangerously hot. The remote makes this heater from good to GREAT, because you can set the heater to the exact temperature that you want. No more guessing and playing with unlabeled dials. Also, you can set the remote to the other side of the room and it will only turn off after the entire room is warmed to that temperature. Then, when the temperature drops by one degree, it will kick on again to heat things up. We have a two year old in the house, so we keep this unit in his room. We can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that regardless of how cold it is outside, we know EXACTLY what the temperature will be in his room.

There is one potential problem with this unit. If you press the "mode" button too fast on the remote, it will become out of sync with the heater. For example, if you want to set it to auto-low, you would have to press the mode button three times (low->high->autolow->autohigh). If you press the button too fast, then instead of autolow, the heater will think you want it to be on high instead. The remote will still show "auto low", but the heater will be set on high. This is bad, because if you leave this thing on high all night long, the room can get close to 100 degrees! There is a very simple solution to this, however. After you press the mode button on the remote, simply check the lights on the control panel of the heater to see if it is on the right mode. I always give it a quick glance after I set it on the remote, so it is always right and it always works perfectly.

One very strange thing about this unit is that it is generally not available anywhere. The BH3900 is available at a few places, but the more advanced BH3930 is not. It is not even available from the manufacturer at the time of this writing. So if you find one, new or used, buy it!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, provided the remote does not break. Without the remote you can set the heater to LOW or HIGH and in either case the room becomes a sauna! I have three of these heaters in my house, one for each bedroom, and with the remote they are really AMAZING (read the other reviews, they are 100% accurate). But I have broken one remote (the mode button is stuck) and misplaced another remote, and BIONAIRE does not have any additional remotes for sale. In fact they suggested that I return the heaters (even though I bought them 3 years ago at Sharper Image) and they would replace them with new BIONAIRE BH 3900, which are the same heathers but with no remote. So I think that Bionaire kileld this product because without the Galileo remote the heater is useless. That said I would pay just about any price to have two remotes, or for Bionaire to introduce a new units with BOTH a remote and an on board thermostat.

We are using this heater for three years and it still works great. There is really only one way to make a heater to keep an accurate room temperature to have a remote thermostat. It's so surprising that other manufacturers don't get it, so far I've only seen Bonaire heaters with remote wireless thermostat. We use it in our daughter's bedroom and for three years the heater kept the room temperature between 68 and 69 degrees at night. We also have a LaCrosse wireless temperature sensor installed in the same room and the temperature never fluctuated more then 2 degrees from the Bonaire setting. I think it's the best portable heater on the market.

Since I have started using this unit I have cooked my best Thanksgiving turkey, my best Christmas ham and my best New Year's pork roast ever.

I'd go 4-1/2 stars if I had the option.

Great idea, but be careful about transmission range.

If the receiver is too far away from the transmitter, or is otherwise unable to get a signal, the display

doesn't inform you of this problem. So, if the temperature is 150 degrees, and you walk out of range, the temperature

won't update. Meanwhile, your BBQ is burning and you don't know.

It would be great if the receiver beeped to indicate that it hasn't received a temperature update

in the last 30 seconds or so. Then, you would know need to get back into range.

But, as long as you're sure that you are always in range, the device works well.

Another gripe... Turning the device on requires a specific sequence:

1. Turn on the receiver

2. Turn on the transmitter, within 30 seconds

Otherwise, the receiver won't pair with the transmitter and you won't get updates.

And, if you turn the receiver or transmitter off then on, you won't get updates either.

(So, don't do that...)

Best Deals on Wireless Cooking Thermometer

I have cooked many steaks and a couple of briskets to perfection with this device.

The range has proved adequate at my house, where I am approximately 35 feet away from my smoker or grill with one wall in between.

It is important to follow the instructions and pair the base station with the remote monitor (similar to bluetooth and and cell phones) or they will not talk to each other.

Honest reviews on Wireless Cooking Thermometer

I guess the bottom line is that it does do the job, but...

150 foot range? Not with a hurricane at its back. With brand new batteries, mine is a bit inconsistent at 25' line of site or 10' through an interior wall. Also, you can't disable that loud voice. When I'm cooking a 5 lb roast beef, I don't want her yelling "YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!! YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!!" when it's 10 degrees under the target temperature. I slow cook, and that means I still have a good half hour to go. I'd prefer a nice old fashioned beep.

Also, it seems that if it doesn't get a signal for a while, it simply stops updating and the temperature changes to "---" without any audible warning. Now you've got to go back through the startup routine to find out what the current temperature is.

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.

Honest reviews on Cook Rite Oven Thermometer, Stainless Steel

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.
