Our bedroom happens to be the coldest room in our house, so going to bed in the winter time was a dance of quickly throwing our clothes off and jumping into our cold bed, shivering for 10 minutes to make it tolerably warm.

My wife and I were a little skeptical as to what a heated mattress pad could do, but were pleasantly surprised! This particular model has been very good to us we turn it on high a half hour or so prior to bedtime, and are greeted with a warm bed. It seems to heat more at the foot of the bed, and tapers off near the head which is perfect!

I'm thinking of getting these for some of my chronically cold friends and family!

The 10 hour shutoff is a nice touch as well there have been times when I forget to turn it off, and knowing it turns off by itself is a relief.

I've had mattress pads for years now and my last one was a Biddeford so when I needed to replace it, I went with the same brand. The first one I received barely heated up but then it only lasted for 2 days and quit working at all. Amazon was great about replacing it and when the 2nd one came, it was barely warm to the touch after heating up for 1 hour so I returned it too, afraid it would quit working as quickly as the first. I will buy another mattress pad but it won't be Biddeford.

My husband and I were given one of these for Christmas one year... loved it on cold nights, but we moved it to our spare room for guests since it's always colder in that room. Since then many of our guests have inquired where to get this wonderful product. I purchased this one as a gift for my Mom. After staying a few days with us she just loved the fact she could turn on her side of the bed without my Dad getting overheated. It's a great product we love it our guests love it!

Honest reviews on Biddeford Quilted "Skirt" Heated Mattress Pad

We received this mattress pad as a gift and were initially very happy with the product. After a few weeks the pad began shutting off (showing an "E" on the controller) within a few hours of it being turned on. This only happened on one side at first and then began happening on both sides. I called the company and they suggested that I switch the controllers to opposite sides to see if they were the problem. After trying this for a few nights the problem remained. We were offered a replacement so I mailed the original back to the company. The shipping was around $30. The new one arrived and unfortunately the same problem occurred within only a few nights (literally three) of using it. We tried the cord switch again with no success. This time around the pad would shut off more quickly than the first one. I called Biddeford to ask them about replacement and they are willing to replace the product. Their warranty is five years and that seems adequate to me. However, I am not happy about the fact that I am responsible for yet another $30 shipping fee to send it back. When I asked if they would cover the shipping due to the fact that this is my second replacement within the original mattress pad's warranty, I was firmly told no. Paying over $60 in shipping feels very excessive to me. Perhaps I am over-reacting about that cost, but I feel like the product is being purchased twice with all of the shipping costs. I couldn't recommend the product in and of itself because it's not reliable. I am still not feeling good about the customer service either.

I bought a Bidford mattress pad, the bottom half does not heat and the controls stop working. I was sent a replacement control and within 3 months it did not work. I have called several times and no one answers they state they will call back and they never do. This heated pad is made in China and some work well and others don't so why take the chance.

I used this wall humidistat to control a Fridigaire Dehumidifier in the basement, as the control in the dehumidifier had very little hysteresis and thus kept switching on and of every minute or so. This short cycling of the compressor in the dehumidifier would severely shorten its life. The Honeywell humidistat has a hysteresis of + and 3 percentage points so the the basement cycles between 47% and 53% humidity. The dehumidifier is on for approx 1/2 hr and off for several hours. While this is a more expensive way to control a dehumidifier if it saves the compressor it will be worth it.

The Honeywell switch was easy to install and the documentation was clear and easy to read.

The dehumidistat on my 4 year old Frigidaire dehumidifier quit. The part is unavailable. Instead of replacing the dehumidifier, I bought this, installed in in series with an outlet, and use it to control the dehumidifier with the dehumidifier set on "continuous" mode.

I've bought a number of house thermostats over the years, and have decided that I'll only buy Honeywell. They just work, and when they don't, their phone support people know what they're talking about, and they speak English. This was my first dehumidistat (how many does one person need?), but I couldn't be happier. It keeps my basement dry.

Highly recommended.

bought the dehumidistat and set it up to run Radon fan in baselment to accomplish two purposes: eliminate excess humidity as well as any potential radon that may be hanging around. Installation was easy and the unit worked perfectly for several monmths and then I had to crank it below 20% RH to maintain 45% level.

I bought this to control a basement dehumidifier. I mounted it in an electrical box with a receptacle and plug my dehumidifier into it. It seems to work well. Turning the knob all the way CCW is OFF and all the way CW is ON with markings from 80 to 20 in between. I have mine set at about 52, which seems to keep the humidity in my basement around 60 percent. I would say the markings are approximate so it's best to have a separate inexpensive humidity monitor so you know the humidity level is where you want it. I used a 2 gang electrical box but a 3 gang would have been a better fit as this device is much wider than a switch or receptacle so I had to trim the cover to make everything fit. This would have been avoided with the wider box.

Discount DeLonghi HHP1500 Safeheat Mica-Panel Heater

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this from Amazon.com for our 6 month old baby's room so we don't have to heat the rest of the house just to get his room warm. I compared this to oil heaters and found this to be better since it is also quiet (no fans) and fairly safe.

I was surprised on how light weight and small it is compared to the pictures on the web. The dimensions are: 26"wide, 20" high (23" high on wheels), 2.25" depth (10" deep when on wheels). It is easy to carry because it only weighs about 5 to 8 pounds (I didn't weigh it).

The heating elements heats up very fast, so that is a definite advantage over oil heaters. It can be mounted on the wall with the included wall mount bracket. Once my baby starts walking I will mount it on the wall to keep it out of reach for him, since the front of the unit does get very hot (although you will not burn yourself if you happen to touch it for a second). So you can hang it up like a picture. The heat only radiates from the front of the unit. The front is smooth in comparison to a oil heater, so your child will suffer less injury than the sharp radiators on oil heaters if he/she runs into it with the head.

It heats a small bedroom quickly, so I think it will also heat a medium sized room with low celings well, but probably not a large living room or kitchen/dining-room.

PROS:

1. Lightweight low profile design can be wall mounted

2. Quick heating

3. Totally quiet

4. High power heating

CONS:

1. Odor: During the first day of use after new it off-gases a lot and generates a strong odor. So make sure to turn it on high heat in the garage or somewhere away for several hours before installing it in a closed room.

2. No digital thermostat: I would prefer a digital thermostat where you can set a temperature. With this one you have to wait until the room is at the right temperature and then set it. This is not exact and takes several tries to get it right.

3. The front of the unit heats up more than I expected, so make sure kids stay away from it.

We've been using this panel heater in our 16' x 20' bedroom for 6 weeks to save big $$ by turning the central heating way down at night. It works very well to heat the room throughout the night and is virtually silent. There are some tiny expansion noises when it is heating up, but it has never made any noise to waken us during the night and we are light sleepers. Just need to turn it on about a half-hour before bed to warm up the room. The room stays pleasantly warm even on the 750W low power setting with the built-in temp control turned less than half-way to max. It heats without moving air around (no fans) so it takes a while to distribute the heat. Folks who want instant blowing heat may not like it but they will have to tolerate fan noise. For us, silence is golden and this heater provides silent heat which is fully adjustable. It is also light weight and moves easily by either carrying (has built-in handle) or rolling on the supplied casters.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing space heaters I've ever seen. it can be sat on rollers or mounted to wall. It can keep my uninsulated 4,000 cubic foot (20' wide x 20' long x 10' high) garage at a tolerable temperature when it's 15 degrees outside.

Tip #1: As with any new space heater, it will emit an unpleasant chemical smell when first used. When it's new, I suggest you set it on high and place it in the garage or outside for 3 to 4 hours before using it inside.

Tip #2: Hot cords/plugs are usually the result of using the wrong gauge of wire in your extension cord or electrical outlets. Use at least a 14-gauge (I'd probably go with a 12-gauge) extension cord and plug it into an outlet that is wired (with 14, preferable 12, gauge wire) to at least a 15-amp circuit breaker. This will be the only thing you'll want running on that circuit breaker. If you don't do that, then don't complain about hot plugs or wires. It's not the heater's fault. It's a basic principle of electricity.

Tip #3: No, it's not going to produce as many BTUs as a propane or kerosene heater will. Electrical heaters are quite capable of producing equal BTUs, without producing carbon monoxide like gas heaters do, but they also have to make it safe to plug into a wall outlet and that means about 1500 watts max. If you have a large room you've been heating with a gas heater and you want to replace it with an electric heater, then you're going to have to get a 240v 30 Amp (or better) heater and probably have an electrician wire it in for you on a dedicated dual-pole circuit. This is a space heater, not a furnace. It's for making warm rooms warmer. Don't disparage this heater because you got the wrong tool for the job. Do your research.

Tip #4: If you want to remove the stickers from the face of the unit and the adhesive is being stubborn, then try heat. If that doesn't work, then go to an auto parts store. They sell several different adhesive removers that are safe for painted surfaces.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi HHP1500 Safeheat Mica-Panel Heater

I use this heater in an unheated screen porch where my dogs sleep. Storm windows keep the wind out, but It was still too cold for the dogs. This heater is great if you're concerned about "dog proofing". It was mounted to the wall and I covered the cord with wooden trim along the baseboard, preventing cord chewing. It heats the 12' by 15' room to a nice 70 degrees, even though the walls are not insulated. Oklahoma has fairly mild winters, rarely getting below 20 degrees, or so. I can't say how the heater would work in this application if you have harsh winters, but for keeping an unheated, small room warm in a mild climate, its great.

My review title says it all, really. I bought this heater because it was a Consumer Reports top pick. And I loved it -effective, quiet, easy to use -until it flamed out five months after I bought it. Quite literally. This was after using it for probably six hours a day (except weekends) during those five months. One day I noticed my cat staring at it; curious, I looked, too, and suddenly a bright orange spot the size of a nickel appeared near where the power cord entered the unit, and there was a burning smell. I quickly turned it off and unplugged it. There was a scorch mark where the flareup had been. After letting it cool, I plugged it back in and tried to turn it on, but it was (and is) permanently dead.

Needless to say I am disappointed with the short lifespan of this product, and am feeling rather lucky that I happened to be close by, and able to unplug it quickly, when it decided to have its fatal meltdown. Who know what damage it might have caused if I'd been out of the room.

List Price: $581.00

Before buying this unit , I did lots and lots of research. Consensus seems to be that you need about 40% more BTUs for a portable air conditioner than for a window AC and about an additional 10% more in BTUs if room gets lots of sun. I think this is why so many posters on many portable AC reviews(all brands)complain of lack of cooling. They buy units that are too small because they base it on the BTUS needed for window units. You can use a search engine to get guidelines for size or AC needed. I use this Sunpentown 1010E in a 275 square foot room that gets lots of afternoon sun. It cools very well with a strong air flow. No matter what you buy, look for cubic feet per minute air output. More air flow , more cool air. This one is 276 cubic feet per minute, which is more flow than many of the others of its size.

The foam insulation for this unit is ugly looking but it does seem to fill up the gaps in the window space so no air seems to get in or out. I keep the hose straight and as short as possible(it accordian folds to shorter length)so that hot air exits quickly and there is less heat reintroduced into the room.

Re ugly foam:You can also go to a store that sells and cuts plexiglass to window opening size and have them cut a circle to vent the hose(pricey because cutting a circle is expensive-$25 for the circle and $5 per straight cut for the plexiglass edge). Gives a nicer look tho than the foam insulation! Someone else on another website recommended Formular(see corning website) pink foam insulation board that you can cut with exacto knife to fit the window and a hole for the hose. Dow also has similar insulation board--there is one that is foam board and one that is styrofoam. I got the foam board because it is more rigid and because it has a moisture resistent coating. Remember that it will be exposed to the outside of the house and might get some rainwater/sprinkler water on it. Also, the foam comes in large sheets(96" high and 48"wide). I brought a box cutter to score/ cut it down to fit in my car. Used a six inch wide piece in my sliding glass door. Traced the inner circle of the exhaust nozzle

and used box cutter to make cuts around the circle and punched the circle out. I fit the hose through the hole and then attached the nozzle on the other side to keep hose in place.

I see Sunpentown also separately sells a metal sliding window insert with hole(other companies include it for free). Not sure if it is for this model or not. They have a website and very helpful customer service. I called them with questions twice before I bought.

I live in a dry area so I never have had to drain water. The machine also uses air condensation to cool the ac coils further so it is very energy efficient with great air floor and cools very well. Very, very quiet. I compared all portable acs in 9000 to 10000 BTU range to find the one with lowest watts consumed and this one draws only 873W / 8.15A. I have 15 amp breakers and didn't want to cause tripping or overheating of wiring. Would have gone for 12000BTUs if I had 20 amp breakers since I have very sunny room. Cools well and better if you start it earlier in the day when not at highest heat of the day so it doesn't have to work so hard(true for any ac actually) and will work more efficiently

Additional notes:All portable acs have non-insulated hoses, you can wrap them with insulation to reduce the amount of heat regenerated into the room.Also, the unit and hose should not be in the direct sun.

The idea of a portable AC is great. The Sunpentown machine itself is great, it really churns out cool air. The problems with the design in my opinion, which any potential buyer needs to be aware of, are the following:

1) the exhaust pipe going from the machine to the window is not insulated, so it actually becomes very very hot when the machine is operating at full bore. It is not hot enough to pose a hazard when touched, but it actuallly re-heats the room on the way to the window. Overall the room does cool down but there is an inherent inefficiency in the way the room is cooled on one side of the machine then partially re-warmed on the other. Commercial units I've seen utilize an insulated pipe as exhaust.

2) The window mounting supplies for the exhaust pipe are a complete joke, a real slap in the face to the consumer. What is needed is something rigid which can be sized to the window frame. The company supplies a piece of flexible foam to be cut to fit. It barely stays upright in the window frame. Handy people might want to cut themselves a piece of plywood or plexiglass instead.

The company has a potentially wonderful product. They need to supply a better (insulated) exhaust, and more realistic supplies for the window mount.

It couldn't cool an 11x12 room (high ceilings) while a window a/c with half the rated BTUs does ok. Its fan is very, very loud (although not the compressor).

GREAT customer support for a ROTTEN product. Avoid it!

Honest reviews on SPT WA-1010E 10,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control

I've had one for a couple of months, and am VERY disappointed with it. It puts out cool air, but definitely not cold air... Consequently, at best, it can get my bedroom down 10-15 degrees in temp, after several hours of running full blast. (Note that I quickly gave up trying to use it in my livingroom, where it would make almost no detectable change in room temp...)

A MUCH better choice I think would be to go with a std window unit (albeit it would be more difficult to install). It would work much better, and be much less expensive as well!!!

I bought this SPT WA-1010 portable AC unit based on the detailed reviews I had read on Amazon and other websites. We live in a two-story duplex in NE Central FL, with our upstairs bedroom windows facing the South. Needless to say, despite upgrading to the most energy-efficient windows money can buy and keeping the room darkening blinds closed, the temp rises to 81-83 in the afternoons. Our Central A/C thermostat on the main floor is set on 76 or 77. This SPT portable unit did its job of cooling the large bedroom (14 x 19) but beware of the "self-evaporating" feature. The humidity increased to 68% in no time at all when the unit ran. This could be because it was vented thru the window but we had the heavy solid window kit to fit around the vent so that there would be no leaks. We also tried draining the water continually into a closed holder but if we didn't keep the unit running then there was often nothing to drain. The most upsetting issue was the MOLD that started forming as a result of this experiment. I've never had mold issues in any of our homes! Another reviewer had warned readers who lived in tropical climates but since we have the Central Heat/Air running then I didn't think this applied to us. I was wrong.

Bottom line: The A/C works well but it WILL add humidity to your room. Monitor it closely!

I replaced the defrost thermostat in my refrigerator with this part along with a new defrost timer. I really do not know for sure which old part was bad but the fridge works perfectly now. This thermostat is a perfect replacement fit. The only thing I would do different next time is to use my own shrink tubing since the ones provided with the thermostat are too rigid and do not shrink completely around the supplied crimp connectors, which could allow moisture into the connection. But I am happy with the product itself and especially the good price.

After going through a process of elimination to find the culprit that was causing my refrigerator problems, I came to the conclusion that I either needed a defrost thermostat or a defrost timer. I decided to purchase both from Amazon for less than $30 total even though I was 90% certain it was this item (defrost thermostat). Anyways, the installation was easy with the help of my refrigerator's parts diagram I found on the web.

I saved literally hundreds fixing my 5 year old Frigidaire myself and it should be good-to-go for at least another 5 more years! I'll keep it at 'medium' temperature instead of super cold and hopefully it will not die out so quickly this time around.

This was purchased to replace a cheap mechanical thermostat in a RV travel trailer. I wanted just a plain, no frills (i.e., no programming!) digital thermostat that closed a mechanical relay contact, and had a display that was large enough to read without having to put on the reading glasses. This unit fit the requirements perfectly. The set point temperature goes down to 40 F, just enough to keep the pipes from freezing on cold winter nights while in storage. The high end set point is 95 F, well above anyones comfort level. Remember, this ONLY controls the heater, NOT heat and A/C! My only negative is there isn't a back light, but I knew that before I bought it. Buy it it works great!

This is the 3rd winter I have had this stove, and my wife and I are very impressed as to how it has performed. Our family room is in the rear of our house (added on), and it has always been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. Since I didn't have either natural gas or propane at my house, I researched everything carefully before my purchase. I ended up having my local propane company provide a 100 gallon tank (it usually lasts at least a full year), and I installed a flexible gas line to the new location. It was actually pretty simple for anyone who is handy with tools.

Since the installation, we have found we can decrease the thermostat setting for our house furnace a full 5 degrees and be perfectly comfortable in the family room. There was a noticeable drop in our overall heating costs the past 3 years. When you add that to the ambiance of having a fireplace, and the fact that there is no mess involved, this is one of my best purchases.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and needed a natural gas heater solution. After searching the internet, this stove seemed to meet my needs due to its high BTU rating, nice looks and some comments made by folks on various websites. However, once installed, it did not work. After several calls to customer service, it turned out that this stove does not work over 4,500 feet elevation (I am at 7,000 ft). Nowhere did it say this anywhere in all of the sales brochures published nor on anyone's website. Customer service did say it this information was posted on their website. However, I did not buy it from their website. Anyone who lives at higher altitude should avoid this product.

I was concerned if this would work at my home at 7,800 feet. It was very difficult to heat above 60 degrees with large windows in the front of the house. Another reviewer gave it a single star for not working at 7,000 ft. and mentioned he was using Natural Gas which may have been his problem. I have a 500 gallon LP tank and use it for central heat and the kitchen stove. Propane is under a higher pressure than Natural Gas. It worked so well I installed one heater in my bedroom. I have it at the lowest heat setting when it is 18 degrees outside at night. I no longer need my electric blanket and my dog loves sleeping in front of it.

One of these stoves is the Living Room under a large picture window. It works like a charm. I no longer close the blinds and have a great view of the snow capped mountains around the house. This raised my living room 15 degrees in a lttle over an hour. I did not purchase the blower for the unit since I have ceiling fans. I just turned them to rotate clockwise and the air is "sucked up" and distributed around the room. I no longer heat the whole house but just the rooms I use.

After getting out of the shower in the morning I can wear a towel while roaming around the house still dripping wet, make coffee and take my time getting dressed before going out into the snow to get my newspaper and clearing the driveway.

After all the work it is nice to have these "space" heaters keeping me warm in previously "cold" rooms.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Stove - 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T

I bought this two months ago and finally had it installed today. I cannot say enough how great this little stove is! We bought it for a renovated basement area for warmth and ambiance and it gives plenty of both. We did not purchase the blower because the room is only 400 sq ft, and I can say for sure now, it wasn't needed for us. The instant heat filters out at a pretty decent pace and the room is warm within minutes.

I put this together on my own with no problems, and the install went smoothly. I chose this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on other websites and also because of the price. Our installer was very impressed with it and plans to recommend it to others as well.

Best of all, it is very attractive. Before it was even installed we had it sitting out during a party and it became a topic of admiring conversation: our guests asked us to invite them back to enjoy the fireplace after the install.

I noticed an earlier reviewer that was angry mentioned receiving a different model, and I want to point out, we ordered from this seller but the fireplace is slightly different than the picture above. But fret not I think it's much nicer! There is no 'ProCom' logo on the front. I was happy about this because I thought it looked a little cheap with that. So I have to say I am 100% happy!

****** Update

We've now had this in use every day for a few weeks. It is in our basement, and we have found that it is not 'overwhelmingly hot' in our space because much of the hot air rushes up the stairs and is also heating the first floor of our home, so we've hardly even had to run the home furnace at all. It makes all the rooms feel comfortable and cozy. WOW. I can't wait to see how much this lowers our winter gas bill!

I purchased an antique home in the summer and was told the floor furnace was great by the inspector. When winter came, after the house filled with gas TWICE had to disconnect. After a winter with no heat (and of course no water since pipes freeze), I was a VERY motivated buyer. This little stove (with the blower) sits in my living room. The 1100 sq. ft. house has no other heat system. Even when temperatures drop to below 0, my house is toasty warm. Because my house has doors and halls all over the place, I do place a floor fan in front of the hall from the living room towards the bedrooms. This helps move the warm air into the bedrooms and bathroom. Houses of similar size and from the same time period with central heat on my block run around 150 dollars a month to heat in the winter. My house runs between 20 and 35 dollars a month. The temperature is kept on 55 when I am gone during the day and 70 at night. However, it only takes a short time for the little stove to warm up the place. Also, I have hard wood floors. My stove doesn't sit on a platform of any kind. There has been no damage to the floor in the 6 years the vent free stove has been heating my home. A bonus is that the heat dries clothes on a little wood drying rack within hours. This saves money, is "green", and puts some humidity back into the house. Another added bonus is the flickering of the flames. They are just a delight to watch dancing after the lights are out on a cold winter's night.

Honeywell T498B1512 Electric Line Voltage Thermostat Review

Customer Ratings:

I needed replacements for several thermostats that failed (as they all do eventually) and the pricing on these were ultra competitive. They came quickly and were well protected in the box. Just what I needed and this saved me many $$ in electrician costs by DIYing it.

This was a direct replacement for one I already had in place ,that one had been in service for 30 years...good supplier service...worked well once installed. Can't ask for any more than that.

This style was required for the use of the electric baseboard I have and it looks better then the 30 year old one that had to be replaced and it has a temperature gauge which the other one didn't have This Honeywell control switch is functioning very well.

Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater Review

Customer Ratings:

Over the years, I've had all kinds of small heaters, both forced air and ceramic. This one takes the cake.

Like most other heaters of this price range, the thermostat doesn't work consistently all of the time, but it works as well or better than any other heater I've used.

What makes this heater great is that it really cranks out the heat! The low setting is great for a small room like a bathroom, and the high setting can bring up the temperature of my large living room in a very short time. I'm really impressed with its heating abilities.

It isn't silent, but it's as quiet as anything else out there. If I turn it on while watching TV, I might have to turn up the volume one or two clicks, but that's it. I doubt it would be prohibitive to sleeping, if you want it in your bedroom.

The oscillation isn't something I've used a whole lot, but eyeballing it, I'd say it rotates somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees.

I've had this Lasko heater for 2+ years and it has worked like a charm... reliable, durable, a little soldier churning out heat. Controls are easy to use and there is a fan only setting for hot days. I keep it near me so the heat output is fine (not trying to heat up the entire room).

What I don't like about it though (and hence my 3 star rating) is the noise from the fan --it's soooo loud; too loud to have in my office when I'm on the phone, and too loud in the room when the tv is on. If you want white noise when you fall asleep, this is the fan for you. But I'm looking for a new QUIET heater to replace this unit.

Best Deals on Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I did a lot of research online and got a Honeywell ceramic heater from Target. I wasn't happy with it and took it back.

Then I got this one, the Lasko oscillating ceramic heater. I guess I will keep it, but not because it's super great; I just don't expect that I could find anything better.

I like that it has two settings (low = 875 W, high = 1500 W), because my apartment wiring is not great and it worries me when it switches on and all the lights dim. Since I'm just using it to supplement a flaky hot water radiator, I don't usually need to run it on high. I've been running it for about 3 weeks, on low, using about 130 W on average. I just set it on low and use the thermostat to try to keep the temperature in the room stable.

The thermostat, though, is rather schizophrenic. I guess this is a problem with all of these little electric heaters, though, since the Honeywell I returned was even worse. I want this heater to just sit in the corner and turn on when needed to keep the temperature in the room constant, since my main heater varies too much in temperature, but I find myself adjusting the thermostat back and forth pretty regularly because it doesn't behave consistently from one day to the next. The settings are different for high and low mode, too, presumably since it heats up its own thermostat and shuts off prematurely.

In low mode (1), I have it almost to the lowest setting to get the room to stay at 65-70 F. I often find it turning on when the room is already warm, and not turning on when the room is cold. In high mode (2), I have to turn it up towards the top to maintain the same temperature. I am sure they could have compensated for any self-heating effects and made the thermostat more accurate no matter what the circumstances, but they didn't bother.

It doesn't have any kind of tip-over safety switch, but the other ceramic heater didn't either. Maybe it's not as critical with these because the outside surface doesn't get too hot. I can actually touch most of the surface of the front grill while it's on high and not get burned. It has an overheat protection switch, which would probably trigger if it fell onto something that blocked the flow of air, but I've never seen it activate.

I don't find it terribly loud, but I have a jet engine of a humidifier in the same room (Holmes garbage), so maybe I'm biased.

It also has a (20 W) fan-only mode, which could theoretically make the unit useful in warmer weather, too. The fan is apparently hard-wired to the thermostat in every mode, though. You might think that a thermostat-controlled fan is a good thing, and I would too, except that the fan is stupidly connected with the same functionality as in the heater modes, so the fan turns ON when the room is cold, and turns OFF when the room is hot. Duh.

Oh, it also oscillates. I care so little about this feature I almost forgot it had it. It seems to circulate air just fine whether this is on or off. I'd be happier if they left out the oscillation and spent the money on better temperature regulation. It might be even better if the thermostat could switch it from low to high when needed.

Honest reviews on Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't vouch for its long-term durability. But this heater is designed very nicely. It looks and feels of good quality materials. Other positives:

* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with

* elegant and practical handle

* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)

* small footprint but stable

I use the heater in a 10 x 10 room. I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10, even when it's been 10 F. outside. I usually keep it in low power mode. But I'm not very demanding that way so if you need a really strong fan blowing high heat or if you prefer the direct warm feeling of glowing radiant heat you might not be satisfied.

Shortly before getting this "Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Heater" I had tried and returned two unsatisfactory heaters. One was a poor quality $20 heater ("DeLonghi DFH132"). The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I purchased this Lasko ceramic heater (model 5429) at Target after reading all the rave reviews that people wrote. I was not disappointed in my decision to buy this particular heater. I honestly can't find anything to complain about. It works very well, I especially like the oscillating action, and find that the heat gets more evenly distributed throughout the room because of it. People that don't like the oscillating feature can just not turn it on, at least you have a choice.

As far as noise level, I don't find that it's any noisier than any other heater I've ever used, in fact it's probably quieter than most. I am extremely pleased with this small but mighty little heater. The last test for me will be when I receive my electric bill. To heat my small livingroom to a comfortable temperature, I put the control on the low setting. I find that works just fine, without using the higher (1500 watt), more costlier heat setting. And because the heater works so well, I only have to put it on the third notch temperature setting, to get the results I need. Also the instruction manual is so simple, you don't need an engineering degree to understand it.

I would highly recommend this mighty little heater. The cost is fairly cheap, but the quality is outstanding. You don't see that very often.
