I became interested in a dehydrator after purchasing a Superfoods recipe book. I've used this model for nearly three months, and find it very useful, and a great jump into dehydrating for someone with no experience. I can see how, if I wanted to dehydrate soups and liquids, I would need an open-space dehydrator, but so far this is fine for my purposes. Because one dehydrates for hours, a timer is unnecessary IMO. I have purchased two extra trays and four extra screensone screen and four trays come with the FD-80P.

The square shape affords a lot of space, though one thing I noticed is that the screen ribs become farther apart toward the perimeter and almonds, which sit nicely on the surface next to the center, fall through the tines of the plastic near the edge of the dehydrator. A finer point. Seven different temperature settings between 95º and 160ºF make it easy to dry foods at specific temps, and the cooler/warmer temps are labeled with specific foods, i.e., herbs and nuts are dried at cooler, slower temps; meats and vegetables at higher.

I was slightly mystified when I started, but took to the internet for instructional videos; the model directions explain some things, but are more oriented to drying garden produce and making jerky. I make kale chips twice a week, and two big bunches take up 4 5 trays. I have made crackers, flaxseed corn cakes, granola, and recently dried a big batch of nuts. I am looking forward to dehydrating loads of garden produce this summer.

I am overall highly satisfied with this dehydrator.

This is a great dehydrator and has transformed my jerky making. Love the square shape! Got the extra trays. Would recommend to everyone.

I must have recieved a bad one from the factory. I plugged it in and started cleaning the dishes. Shortly I started smelling smoke and when I turned around the unit was melting onto the heating coils. Since we usually leave the unit running over night I did not want to try another model and risk a fire while asleep.

I bought two of these to use for cabinet cooling (receiver and PS3) but next time I have to replace a case fan I'm going with one of these. Here are the specs for the 80mm:

So basically they start picking up speed ~ 25C (77F).

Pros:

Quiet, smooth operation can't even hear them at the lowest speed

Separate speed sensor cable to attach to motherboard (if applicable)

Power connector has male/female molex so it can be chained together and not consume a power lead

Moves a lot of air as the temperature rises

Cons:

None yet... No cover plate? (but comes with screws)

They do a pretty good job of keeping up with the PS3 which pumps out a lot of heat during games. The exhaust of the PS3 faces these fans and they in turn move the air out the back of the cabinet. I just used an old 12v power supply to drive them and it is plugged into the receiver so they come on when the receiver comes on.

It's silent most of the time. It has a temp sensor on it by the hub. WHen the air going through it gets too hot....it steps up. It has a mid step which is fairly quiet, and at full tilt....it may be slightly noisier that the other fans in the 2u case. However, I put this at the exhaust of a PSU, so there is nothing in the way to muffle it.

Ambient in case temps down about 4-5 degrees...board just 1 or 2..

Now using these in both the 60, and 80mm flavors....I believe they hit the sweet spot dba/cfm. Highly recomend.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm sure this thermostat works well enough, but mine was DOA screen freezes immediately after power is connected. Trane informed me that the unit was bad, and that they would send me a replacement unit and a box to ship the old one back in. A week later, neither item ever arrived, and I got a phone call from Trane "following up" on my service request. I said I never got the new unit, and they said, "We don't handle product returns, you need to return it to the merchant to get a new one." I told them that there was no merchant, that I received the product from them to write a review for it. They insisted that they can't send me a new one. I finally gave up and put my old thermostat back in.

We bought the Schlage Link/Nexia System in Sept 2011. We were very happy with the keypad lock and wanted

to be able to program our locks and thermostat online, so we bought new locks, a bridge, and a Trane thermostat.

Now almost 2 years later, the $130 thermostat is malfunctioning. I called Schlage/Nexia and was given a number

to call Trane.

After 30-60 minutes of trying to get tech support or navigate their web site to find tech support, I discovered

that Trane doesn't have tech support. They make you call a local dealer who will no doubt charge you $150-$200

to come out and troubleshoot the thermostat. If I wanted to pay $200 for someone to tell me that I need to push

some buttons to reset it to default (a common solution these days for digital products) or that I need to replace

this $130 product after only 21 months, they could tell me that on the phone.

The end result, I will probably replace this thermostat with another Z wave thermostat from another company.

DON"T BUY TRANE unless you want a complete lack of customer service when something goes wrong.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Normally, I'd knock it down a couple stars for the monthly fee associated with Nexia, which adds way too much to the cost of the product and makes recovering the cost through schedule based thermostat adjustments highly improbable if not impossible for the average home. But, you can use this otherwise great programmable & Z-Wave compatible thermostat with other home automation systems that don't require monthly fees.

I found this thermostat to be very accurate for both temperature and humidity by comparing it to several Oregon Scientific sensors in our home. That's always important for a thermostat but even more so when you want to use it with a home automation / smart setup. For example, our house is set to "away" mode for a long weekend in the hot and humid summers, the Veralite tells this thermostat to raise the temperature to 80 degrees (or higher). However, it monitors the humidity levels. If the humidity in the house goes above 62%, the veralite will (1) lower the HVAC setting so the AC will lower the humidity, then send me a text message so that I can remotely check the temp and humidity. Once the humidity is under control, the Veralite tells the Trane to raise the temperature to the more miserly level, again. It's a great way to minimize my power bill, but to avoid the risks of mold growth. This TRANE is also linked to several motion sensors in the house, making it like a NEST thermostat that graduated magna cum laude.

Numbers / settings are easy to read. The temperature adjustment buttons are easy to push arrows that anyone can use if they want to walk over and adjust the settings.

As mentioned above, I have this connected to Veralite Z-Wave controller, which Amazon sells at a very good price: Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller, White and Green The Veralite can control this thermostat along with all the other Z-Wave devices (and Insteon) and does more than Nexia WITHOUT ANY MONTHLY FEES.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really wanted this thing to work. I even crawled into the crawlspace to make sure I had the blue (C) wire connected to the furnace. Then we had to find the blue wire in the mass of wires stuck in the wall. Finally, got everything connected and put the faceplate on. It would not power on.

I called customer service during the stated CS hours, and the phone rang and rang. I could not speak to a rep during the hours the company states a rep is available.

Again, I had high hopes for this. I currently have a pretty nice Hunter thermostat, but I wanted one that I could monitor online. Also, I was quite happy the kit came with some extras (door lock, dimmer, bridge, etc.). Despite my high hopes we had to uninstall the Trane and reinstall the Hunter.

Purchased this product as a more attractive space heater for my bedroom. The actual fireplace was delivered before the cabinet so don't be alarmed if you receive separate shipments. Putting the cabinet together was very simple and can be done by one person with little mechanical skills. I would recommend using wood glue to keep the wooden pegs that help hold the pieces together better. The wood stain and slate frontage piece look terrific and I have received compliments after I set it up. The remote makes it easy to control. I use this in a bedroom that has about 400sq feet with high ceilings and even at half heat mode, it kept the room warm. A great look to any room; I am very happy with this fireplace. I hope you enjoy it as much!

Totally worth the money! It is a quality piece. I was able to assemble it myself (it was that easy) You only need a screwdriver and it was a good thing since thats all I've got :) It locks together securely and know that no matter how many times I move, it can take it! Wasn't quite sure by the description of all that it was capable of, so I'll let you know. You can manually adjust or use the remote to turn it on/off (both just the fire effects and/or the heater), adjust the brightness of the logs from off to super bright, adjust the flaming effect from off to high effects (which is a little added niceness that I didn't know I was getting). And the switches and dials are hard to get to (I had to use a pencil to switch it on) which is nice because I'm not worried about my small children being able to play with them. I have nice new things but this is definitely the nicest thing in the room :)

I bought this in January and the mantle came damaged. I called costumer service for the company and I got a REAL person and they said they would send a new one out. It arrived within the week. The fireplace looks and works great. I use it in a large open room and am happy with the heat it generates.

To assemble it took 2 people to slide the front panel(s) on because the hardware didn't hold it together real well. I recommend some glue for the dowelsthey were a little loose. When you attach the sides to the front make sure you pull the sides toward the middle. I had to redo this part because I couldn't get the top mantle on (the side leaned out a little too much on the one corner). Otherwise installation was pretty simple.

Received fireplace yesterday, it was easy to put together and looks great. Only issue at all was the wooden dowels are a little loose in some holes so I applied a little Elmers wood glue to the dowels. The fire box's fake flame isn't as realistic as the top of the line units, but it looks good. The wood work is very nice and absolutely looks great. For the price we couldn't find anything that comes close to looking this good in local retail stores. Ordered the fireplace on a Monday morning and received it Wednesday (2 days)with regular shipping at no extra charge. In all we couldn't be happier with this purchase.

We purchased this electric fireplace to sit in the corner of our living room. It has an attractive physical presence and looks nice in its location. It is substantial and well built. The ability to turn on the "flame" without the heat is a nice touch.

It is shipped in two packages one includes the cabinet and the other includes the heating unit. The cabinet is extremely well packaged and one would be unlikely to obtain it in a damaged condition. I was impressed with how well they packaged it.

But we were a bit disappointed in the "oak finish". It does not match the rest of our oak furniture as it has a darker finish (darker than the pictures show it to be). Still, it is quite attractive and "COZY IN KENTUCKY", who stated below that it looks better than the pictures, is correct.

Assembly is easy, but will take some time. Set aside an hour or two and use wood glue on the wooden dowels as others have suggested. While it is much easier to assemble with two people, one person can handle the task although it could be awkward to do so. An electric screwdriver is a great help. Instructions were supposed to be included, but were not included in my packaging. All else was as it should be. The instructions are easy to obtain and seem to be commonly left out of the package as SEI has spelled out how to obtain them in their FAQ. A simple call, or email, will result in the instructions being faxed or emailed directly to you. Unfortunately, SEI is not open past 5PM CST on Friday. If you have plans to assemble the unit over the weekend, and your instructions were not included, you will be out of luck until Monday. I found several people across the internet trying to locate the instructions and in the same fix as myself.

Overall, this is a nice unit, easy to assemble, works as it should, and is quite attractive. If you are looking for a reasonably cheap and good looking electric fireplace, you should consider this one.

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.

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.

I have owned single burners in the past for several reasons. They are nice to have when entertaining, especially around the holidays. Also, when I make shabu shabu, fondue, or a hot-pot dish, a tabletop burner is much nicer that using candles or alcohol-type burners.

I occasionally help out a friend at trade shows, demonstrating cooking techniques, and we always use single gas burners. I bought this one for when I need a slow, low heat for a long time. Gas burners need to have the butane canisters changed fairly often where this one plugs in and stays hot for as long as you need it. At home however, gas burners will be a great back-up during power outages where this one would be worthless.

I decided to show how this burner works by making this short video. I hope that it is helpful to you! Thanks.

EDIT: I am including this information about the boiling water demonstration by request: I used a heavy-duty anodized aluminium pan; the water was room temerature (72 degrees Fahrenheit); and the experiment was conducted at approximately 700 feet above sea level.

I have been using an Eclipse single for about 3 years now. Before that I used another Eclipse model but it finally quit working. Recently my latest Eclipse started acting funny and so I thought it was time to fund a replacement and while I was at it, I thought I would try to find a higher quality unit. The Waring SB30 was well rated and not too expensive, so I grabbed one.

My initial take on the SB30 was that it was very well built and sturdy. This is a great improvement over the Eclipse burners I have used in the past. My only complaint is that cord is fairly short, maybe 3ft long. The knob has a very nice and smooth action to it. The base is rather large but it is very stable with an 8qt stock pot on it, so I guess I can't complain too much about that. The burner weighs a lot. I believe most of that weight is from the metal burner itself. More on this later on.

I use this burner as my main burner as I live in a rental and the range is not so good. The burner heats up a little slow but transfers that heat to the pan very quickly. I believe this is because the burner has a lot of metal in it and that allows it to store a lot of heat. This is a very good thing for boiling water and sauteing but not such a good thing for cooking touchier foods like milk and sauces.

ONE YEAR UPDATE: The SB30 has performed great over the past year. I have not had a single problem with the burner, it looks and works like new. All in all I am very happy with it.

I can't begin to say how THRILLED I am with this unit.It is, simply, the BEST, PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL QUALITY unit you can find. I've had other, non-professional units--which never heat hot enough--which causes sticking-and soon stop working. The extra $$ for this unit are worth every penny.I had given up on others-and this was my last resort. These burners heat and stay HOT for even cooking and frying. I use this double burner ALL THE TIME for all types of stove cooking-in place of of my regular stove-which had died. I didn't want to purchase another stove now because we'll soon be moving. ( It does take a minute or so to heat up--not a fault--it's in the construction--because once it does reach

the temperature level you want--IT STAYS hot at that temperature.)This is the ONLY unit which gets hot enough to BOIL WATER and COOK PASTA --in a BIG POT, too--because large burner IS large....and QUICKLY.All the other units NEVER reach boiling temperature.This is because it's 1500. I, also, recommend this flat surface over the raised burner grids--which are hard to clean. These flat surfaces clean instantly. REAL metal-not plastic and substitute stuff--for easy cleaning and quality appearance. When we move and have a stove, again, I know we'll continue to use this

as an extra burner . This is the ONLY unit I would recommend over all those cheapie ones--whether they cost little or a lot.I don't write reviews very often-but just had to share and praise this one.

This is the second identical unit I've owned. The first one worked fine for about 6-8 months, then the temperature knob stopped working and I could only use it for 100% hot (5 on the knob) or nothing at all. Then it stopped working altogether.

The most recent one had a problem the second time I used it. I was cooking poached eggs and some water boiled over the pan. The burner shot sparks about 2 feet out the side and burned my wooden counter, smoked, and shot out another big spark before blowing out the electrical breaker. The company should look into these issues and fix them. The second one could have been really dangerous.

'Tis the part of the year when temperatures here range between freezing and 85 degrees, sometimes during the same day. It was a continuous hassle, turning on the heat or turning on the A/C, trying to keep the kids from having pneumonia or the chinchillas passing away from the heat.

My son and I installed this thermostat in about 20 minutes. The directions are very comprehensive, and when it says read through them *before* installation, they are correct RTFM!

As for the thermostat, it has performed well. We set a range for it to stay within, and it does that without any problem. Switches between A/C and heat as needed without our intervention. A great feature is the Home button, which allows you to move to the warmest (heat) or coolest (A/C) setting on days when you are home (or are just too darned cold). Otherwise, set it and forget it no need for seasonal (or daily) adjustments.

We wanted to cut back on costs as well as use less energy, so we researched programmable thermostats and chose this one based on the good reviews. After installing the thermostat and using it for a few days, I can say that we are VERY pleased and that it lives up to the good reviews. It came with everything needed to install as well as very detailed instructions on installation and on using the many customization features. It's tedious to set all of your daily options I mean, you have the option of setting four different programs a day! but after it's set, it's very easy to just let it go and you only need to hit one or two buttons to override without changing your saved settings. It also doesn't reset your features if the batteries go dead, which is good to know.

I purchased the model 44459 4 years ago, which essentially is the same unit. My basis for the selection was the indiglo feature. This is one that most of the other similar priced units did not have.

To my suprise, I found the energy and filter monitoring features to be most usefull. The energy monitor allowed me to track my usage in both summer and winter, and to see how much the other upgrades to the house made a difference in energy savings. The front access to the battery is also usefull, although I changed the battery this year for the first time in 4 years.

Well, this morning, I found that my heat would not turn off, and the thermostat was stuck in the on position. I performed all normal troubleshooting procedures to no avail. I spoke directly with a Hunter Tech Support agent, who agreed with me, the unit went bad. She put me on hold for about 10 minutes, and when she returned, she informed me that my unit was no longer under warranty (which I knew, just wanted to get repaired). To my supprise, she offered a one-time courtesy replacement of the unit, NO CHARGE! All they ask is that I pay for return postage of the bad unit. She even offered to expedite the order, so that I would not be without heat for very long!

Now, I am not saying that they will extend this to everybody, but I was highly impressed with the way they stand behind their product. When I looked at the specs between my unit, and this one, which they are sending to me, they are exact! Even the owner's manual is the same!

I have been very pleased with the unit, and have grown to love the features. Home Today, Hold, and ease of programming features a plus. It even has a keypad lock function to keep the kids from messing with the temp settings.

Great value and features for the price. Highly reccomended!!!

I purchased this product following a recommendation from Consumer Reports and extensively reading consumer comments on Amazon. We are VERY pleased with the thermostat! My husband was a little bit anxious on whether he could replace the unit himself (decided to do it on a weekday so that back-up could be called if needed). He was surprised how easy it was to replace the unit.

We especially like the automatic change-over between heat and A/C. Since it's not uncommon in the fall to go from very chilly nights to very warm days, we were constantly shifting the thermostat back and forth. With this unit, you no longer have to do that. You simply set your heat temperature for wake-up, leave the house, return home, go to bed, and then do the same with your A/C temperature. The unit automatically engages the right unit at the right time -it's amazing!

Also, the unit is very easy to program and does NOT make any noises when it turns on and off. This is an excellent choice -you won't be disappointed!

UPDATE:

10/9/2013: Product Update 6 years later and thermostats are still working perfectly. Batteries need replacement about once a year so that the lovely little light works when we adjust the thermostat. Have not had a single issue with them. Still a 5-Star product !!!

The heater is powerful and blows air well. The problem is that a minor reason I purchased this was that I thought it would be quiet, but the blower makes a strange rattling noise. It isn't very loud, but it is noticeable. Worse, it is intermittent, so you can't even just get used to it.

While watching tv, it's perfectly fine, but once I'm ready for sleep, this heater is a bit annoying. I will probably move it to the living room or find a spot for it in the kitchen.

I recieved this product in the time they said I would and I love the heaters so much. I love the fact I can use a regular plastic soda bottle for the humidifier.

I had an Eden Pure for a few years, paid much more for it and this one works as good.

I got this to replace a 50a55-480 controller for my Trane furnace (TDE080).

I got it instead of the cheaper 50a55-843 for 2 reasons:

1) It drives newer Silcon Nitride ignitors which are supposed to be more reliable than the older silicon carbide ignitors. It will also drive your existing silicon carbide ignitor.

2) This kit also includes an ignitor, worth about $25. I keep it as a spare until my SiC ignitor fails.

Installation is easy using the supplied instructions, but there are a few things to note:

1) The unit mounts to the same clips as the 50a55-480, but is about 1/2 inch wider on the left side (with LED).

2) The indicator LED is in a different place, so I had to drill a new 1/4" hole in the furnace to be able to see the light from the outside.

3) The harness adapter (F) works fine and provides a spade clip for the Flame Sensor. Also be sure to install the rollout jumper between pins 5 and 11. Trane furnaces don't have rollout sensors. I preferred to skip the adapter and do a little minor surgery to attach a spade clip directly to the flame sensor wire. The gas valve connection is OK as long as the controller is configured for a single-stage furnace.

4) When the thermostat's Fan-ON switch is set, most controllers enable the cool-H fan terminal. However, this controller enables the Heat-L terminal. You should connect a "parked" (red, blue, yellow) fan lead to Heat-L, or if you don't have air conditioning, connect the black cool-H lead to the Heat-L terminal instead.

5) As mentioned in a previous review, all of the 6 neutral spades are connected together, so it doesn't matter which ones you use. To be extra nerdy, put the incoming line-N on a center terminal and Fan-N and Xfrmr-N on the adjacent terminals.

This was to replace a obsoleat one, the wireing instruction could have been more expliced to the one it is to replace.

I wouldn't have had to call in the HVAC guy, to be sure I had it right. It works the air, now if it works the heat and the humidifier in the heating season, the I'll upgrade my rateing to "Love IT", cause I sure saved a lota money.

Very easy installation, if you are a DIY type of person then replacing this control module will be a piece of cake. The instructions are clear. Came with a large selection of adapter connections for many different type of applications. The seller shipped out the product the same day it was ordered and was delivered a day early! Which was good because it was getting chilly in my house.

It was the wrong board and the instructions said it was nonreturnable. If you need a control board, buy the Orem version.

Unfortunately, as soon as I took it out of the box, I noticed that one of the rear vents was damaged. It looked as if someone took a hammer to it!! The box itself is not damaged, nor is the styrofoam that surrounded the product in the box. This means, it was damaged before they ever shipped it! How in the world do they not see the entire side having dents...and I mean...really noticeable dents... BEFORE they send it to the buyer??!! I requested a replacement and/or refund to cover the repair costs so let's see how their customer service is. Hopefully they get it right this time. I was so excited for it. Now it has just become a hassle to deal with.... A couple statements regarding the product itself...the frame is made of a rather light metal...you can literally press the vent itself with your finger and reshape the inlets. The drawers are a bit narrow. I can only fit 2 bottles on 3 of the 5 shelves in the red-wine section of the cooler. The unit itself looks nice though. It fits well in the apartment, and has a nice contemporary look to it.

I bought the iStorm hand dryer two month ago and I love it! I was using paper towels for my restaurant before but after reading some articles about how hand dryers can save a lot of money, I decided to give it a try. Unlike the other hand dryers, iStorm dries hand fast enough and really does keep the floor dry! The ceramic pad works perfectly! And I also have customers compliment on it's interesting smooth round shape. It is a great investment! I am glad that I switched from paper towel to it!

Received these thermoswitches quickly and they were just as expected. I used one of them to replace a bad one on my auto air conditioner compressor that had a open connection. I could not find the original one so with this replacement and JB Weld I made a form the shape of the original and it works great.

If you have a 2 wire hookup to your furnace, you will need this in order to use the wireless thermostat offered by Jackson Systems. That thermostat supplies a 24V signal, whereas a 2 wire thermostat expects a relay or switch to close. This isolation relay provides that function.

This is well made, and comes with a bracket and screws to attach it properly. If you are handy with tools and an ohm meter, you will have no trouble figuring out the necessary wiring.

I recommend the product.

Works great. Compared temperature accuracy to another portable device and accurate. Easy to install. Can move to any room in house to meet comfort level. Downside could be since portable could get misplaced. Can hang on wall too. We purchased after house remodel. It was going to be a greater challenge to rework thermostat wiring and hang on appropriate interior wall. Took a chance on these newer devices and glad we did. Would recommend to others.

[See detailed review] on the two-wire kit. Great products, work well, easily installed. Appreciate the fast response time between a temperature change and the "message" to the boiler to move into action.

Buyer beware if you have a two wire system this product will only work if you buy a separate kit that you need to plug in to a 120 Volt outlet. When I realized that I needed additional accessories to make it work correctly I returned product to the seller immediately. I was looking to save some time with a wireless system, not add additional wiring!

When contacting the seller for the returned merchandise, Venstar stated that I will need to pay for shipping and a 15% restocking fee. This was disappointing but still worth it to recoup some of my money back.

I packaged it up at the UPS store, (minus some original Venstar bubblewrap), and got a response from seller today that it was not packaged in original packaging and since I had attempted to install it and left the AA battery inside the unit for shipping they would only reimburse me 50%. Very disappointed in Venstar's customer service. I buy a lot of products via Amazon and this is the first time a seller has been difficult when returning an item.

Venstar lost a customer today I can honestly say that I will never look to buy a Venstar product again!!!!

Honest reviews on Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC

I rent a townhouse in a hot climate and since the thermostat was on the first floor, the upstairs would stay hot while downstairs would be at the desired temperature. Since I couldn't really make any major changes to the property, I had few solutions for making the upstairs comfortable in the summer. This made living here pretty miserable until I purchased this wireless thermostat system.

Now whatever room I am in is kept at the desired temperature. You can hang or mount the remote on a wall, or it has a stand where you can take it with you and place it upright on a desk/table/shelf. It seems to have a pretty impressive range and I haven't had it lose signal anywhere in my place. It also has a 7-day programming feature, but I've never needed to use it.

You don't necessarily need to have a professional install it, but you do need to know a little about your Heating/AC system in order to wire the receiver properly. Once you know that the installation is about as simple as any other thermostat.

When I move out, I'm definitely taking this with me. It's perfect for solving the problem of homes with hot-spots, but it's also a really nice system for any residence, even without these problems.

We got it because wall thermostat was in upstairs unheated hall and we sleep with doors closed. Heat would kick on and bedrooms got hot while hall stayed cold...calling for more and more heat. This solved problem nicely. Only glitch was if you have only two wires on thermostat you need an additional "two wire kit"... More money . It's not the prettiest thing because it has a black power supply you have to plug in and we couldn't get the component to fit inside. But it works. Venstar needs to redesign the transmitter box to fit it inside and change the power supply to white for aesthetics. Programming is a little tedious, but has plenty of options.
