Needed this part as well as others to get my sisters boiler running after the old power supply and zone valves were under 5 foot of salt water after Sandy flooded her house. Quick delivery at a fair price. Even with parts scarce on the East coast they kept the price fair.

I ordered on a wednesday, it arrived via UPS on a thursday afternoon, all the way from Connecticut to Philadelphia, even though I didn't expect rush shipping. I was pleased with the speed with which it arrived.

It was packed to survive anything -very securely packed.

All was as expected.

Only downside is the transformer is manufactured in China.

General Electric AST05LK 5,050 BTU Window A/C Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It cools pretty well. Not ice cold but I dont' like it getting ice cold. I have it in a small room but it says on the box that it's for a 100 square foot room and my room is about 200 square feet. So, maybe in a 100 square foot room it would get ice cold. I don't know.

It does have this high pitched noise on the high air selection. It doesn't bother me at all. Anything that covers up the neighbor's dogs barking at night is a plus for me because it's a constant sound. But that may irk some people.

On the lower temps it doesn't have any sound, though.

This unit is small. Don't expect miracles from it. It's good for a kid's room or a room you use once so often like a reading room or a den.

You also have to install the side pleats yourself. It's really not that difficult but it was unexpected. No biggie.

Overall I'm satisfied with this product. The asking price was reasonable, I got free shipping from Pavillon and it cools the room. What more could you want?

Not for a person who has a room bigger than 100 square foot and likes seriously cold air conditioners, though.

Oh yeah, it doesn't have any of those annoying led lights. I hate those things that seem to be every electrical appliance you buy these days. Really irritating. But this unit has no glowing lights coming off of it except where the plug is and you can hide that behind furniture. Yay.

For me, this was a plus.

THe controls are very simple and I like simple.

I ordered this air condtioner because of GE reputation as a large and well known company. What was most important for me was "low noise level"; this air conditioner is quieter than other comparable air conditioners.

I wanted an inexpensive,lightweight & quiet a/c unit. This one fits the bill perfectly. It does not have all the bells & whistles like most, but who cares if it keeps the room cool. Which it does very well. I have it in a 12 x 14 room and it does keep up nicely. It is a very quiet unit. I like it so much, I am ordering another one.

Honest reviews on General Electric AST05LK 5,050 BTU Window A/C

Recommended for the price.

I bought this for the bedroom, and the great thing is the noise levels are very low. On the negative side it does struggle to get temperatures down, the room is probably slightly on the large size for it to cope, but it does enough to let us sleep at night just now, but will have to wait for the real summer heat to see then! Would not recommend it for a large room, but for a small room I would think it would be great.

Oh and as an aside, I bought this direct from Abt Electrics, they ship it for free! So save your self $40.

Bought this AC this summer for my 144 sq ft room. Performance has been very steady. It operates relatively quitely especially in the low fan mode. Although it takes about 15-20 min to cool the room, but then you cannot expect anything more from a 5050 BTU unit. No other problems with the unit after 3 months of use.

This is the real deal HC461 and not the similar less expensive version. Heats a very nice area and reduces power draw when it reaches the desired temperature. Make sure your cart specifies HC461 in the description. A search often brings up the cheaper one and it is easy to end up with that one instead.

Discount Dropcam HD Wi-Fi Wireless Video Monitoring Camera

Customer Ratings:

My review is focus on one aspect so as not to be too long, but still useful. **Please note the updates at the end**

The Dropcam is a very good, very easy to use device. Many of the top rated reviews here do an excellent job of listing the pros and cons. Also, the firmware has been updated since many of the negative reviews were posted, so there have been subtle improvements (not enough) with motion detection, and also the iOS and Android apps are now easy and great.

The best use case of this camera, by far, is indoor remote surveillance of a kids room, a family room, or a workplace.

Here's the real, overpowering negative about the device for me: it uses about 60GB of upload data capacity each month. The camera transmits its HD video feed to the DropCam cloud servers ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. The cloud service is what makes the user experience so easy, and what allows you to view your camera from multiple places, phones, tablets, all with just a userID and password. It's good in that you don't have to learn about firewalls, IP port forwarding and such just to make it work. But, that also means that it sends enormous amounts of video of a room with nothing at all happening in it. If your ISP has a quota or a limit to how much you can send per month, this camera WILL DEFINITELY USE A LARGE PORTION. In Canada and with some US ISPs, the limit is 50GB...i.e. less than this camera sends!

Lots of ISPs offer a quota of 250GB, so this camera won't put most US customers over their limit. Just know that this will soak up a good portion of your allotment.

Each additional camera will add to the bandwidth you use.

Consider that you are also downloading the video feed from your ISP, so if you are in the same place as the camera viewing it, it doubles the bandwidth used. Yep, that's right, your video goes up to the cloud server, then back down to you.

FYI, the upload rate is about 400-600 Kbps

The camera does use excellent compression, so the HD video is as compact as it can be in 2012.

If you have anything less than awesome Internet service, the camera will slow down your uploads of other stuff, like photos, attachments, etc. Upload speed is always much slower than download on consumer Internet service, and that's what this camera uses.

So, take this important point into consideration. It may still be a great product for you, but you need to know the costs. For me, I planned on using this at a lake house with slow Internet, so it doesn't work for me. I'll have to find another use for it.

****Update, September 2012

The camera has just received a software update that lets you switch between SD mode and HD mode. All DropCams that are turned on and connected to the Internet will get the update automatically. The standard definition mode uses half the bandwidth of the HD mode. Overall, there is a big improvement regarding the problem I cited in my original review. The update has other benefits in motion detection, etc.

As for me, the 30GB a month is still too much, so I will continue to use the available software switch to turn the camera on and off, and only enable it when I want to watch.

I spent some time researching the different options (Logitech, foscam, dropcam, adt, x10, cisco, ...) in this product category. I decided to try out a DropCam HD. So far (3 days of use), I'm delighted. The product does everything it promises.

It took me about 5-10 minutes to complete the full setup process (open the box to getting video streams online). In fact, it took me longer to figure out where I was going to put it.

Other solutions require special software to be installed and/or a PC/Mac system to be running to capture the video. I don't want to keep a computer on while I am away on travel + have to maintain/update the software. The DropCam HD solution removes all this extra effort/time/pain.

pros

====

easy to setup (5 minutes of work)

can view online or via android/iphone

can share your camera with friends securely

motion tags allow you to jump to interesting sections

no need for special software or a PC running to capture all the data

surprised by 2way audio feature. Fun to use while you are away.

cons

====

monthly dvr pricing for saved streams (free if you just want live views)

still testing

Our house got burglarized yesterday. I was working 30 miles away from home when I received a dropcam alert on my iPhone informing me that my dropcam was disconnected. When I checked the online recording, it showed the face of the thief who disconnected the dropcam. When I got home, I gave the police officer a copy of the intruder's face. Using the photo, the police officers made an arrest on the same night. Our stolen property has been recovered and we will be retrieving them from the police station where they are being photographed for evidence in a few days. My 2011 Dropcam echo has been so effective I am definitely getting a second Dropcam HD to monitor the interior of our house.

Honest reviews on Dropcam HD Wi-Fi Wireless Video Monitoring Camera

I have to say, I am loving this Dropcam! I put it in my living room to see when the kids are home from school. The setup process was done lickety-split, and all I had to type in was my wireless password (which admittedly I had to hunt through a dozen post-its to find). Now I can see it on my iphone and also from my computer at work! Cool!

Some details:

1. I tried another camera like this before and it couldn't see the entire living room from its perch in the corner. On the other hand, the Dropcam can see almost my whole living room while sitting on the same bookshelf in the corner. Faces appear a little small, but I definitely like being able to see the kids whether they are on the couch or laying on the floor

2. The night vision is a really nifty feature. I could just make out my husband on the other side of the room (about 20 feet?). We don't have a big use for it since our kids are older, but it would make a great baby monitor. I guess if somebody breaks in (eek!) we will have the video for America's Most Wanted!

3. There's a little clicking noise here and there on the audio (not sure what that is?) but you can definitely hear what's being said ... I had to wear headphones to really make it out though because my laptop's speakers aren't too great

4. The talking feature is already a family favorite at least for Mom, that is ... let's just say I think a lot more homework is about to be done after school and before dinner time....

5. It's bee-yoo-tee-ful! I really can't tell you how many of these electronic doo-dads are ugly as sin. It looks and feels like a little art sculpture sitting next to the other knick-knacks on the bookshelf, and the white cable blends in nicely with the wall.

I think that's about it! I don't normally write reviews, but I just felt like this gem deserved it. Thanks Dropcam!!

My home and at least three others in my neighbor has been the victim of repeated home burglaries over the last few months. The police had a couple of suspects but no hard evidence. Last week my wife and I went on vacation. Before leaving I got two Dropcams and subscribed to the DRV service. I set up my I-phone to receive alerts when the cameras detected motion. Five days into our trip while driving down the interstate 800 miles from home I got an alarm. When we checked it we were able to watch the burglar going through our belongings in our home. I called the police and they caught him in the act. Without Dropcam he may have never been caught and now the video evidence I was able to download and provide the police will be a key component to the trial. I Love Dropcam!!

We managed to get just 1 season out of the Comfort Zone oil-filled space heater. Worked fine. We've been using it in our living room. This season, we used it for only a few weeks, then it started on fire at the top. Fortunately we were right by it so we could unplug it immediately. If we had been sleeping ---not a good scenario! The oily smoke smell was very strong throughout the whole house. This could have been very bad. We do not recommend this heater.

I purchased this heater from Menard's last winter and it saw fairly regular use for about 3 months. I got it out about a month ago and have used it only a few times and today it wouldn't work at all. We enjoyed the radiant heat that it put out when it worked, but I was disgusted that we didn't even one year out of it. After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to open up the controls and see if I could find out why it failed. I immediately noticed that the connections to the "tip-over" switch were burned, the wires were discolored, and the switch was melted slightly where the wire terminals entered the switch housing (see the picture that I included in the gallery). Seeing how several others have had similar problems with this heater, I would look for something else, it's not worth risking a house fire a for a cheap heater.

I bought one of these heaters about 10-years ago. Exact same appearance still, not complaining. I primarily used it to heat my 2-car attached garage non-stop for 9-years. It kept the cars interiors warm and engines started easily. It lasted exactly 10-years, but the cheap 15-amp outlet I plugged it into last winter melted and destroyed the plug\cord with it. So I broke it down and threw it away. I have since replaced the outlet with a 20-amp model (NEMA 20R). I will buy another one of these heaters soon for this winter. I would recommend upgrading ANY outlet to a quality 20-amp model if a heater will run 24-7 plugged into it (the U.S. needs make 20-amp outlets & wiring standard like the Europeans).

I already owned an oil heater that generally looks like this, one that has been very good for a few years, heating a bedroom plus adjoining bathroom. However, this Comfort Zone product that I recently bought is not adequate. I am trying to get it to warm up one room (30DegF outside), but here I sit in a fleece jacket and coat while typing this, and the heater has been in the center of the room for an hour with the dial turned all the way up. I'm not very hot on this heater.

I bought two of these heaters one year ago, to the month. They worked well, producing heat without being overly hard on the electrical bill, throughout our Maine winter last year, which was a comparatively mild winter. We began using them again a few weeks ago, but one of them quit working yesterday. It was working, and then it wasn't. It doesn't even light up when turned on and yes, I've checked the electrical socket. In comparison, I have a Lakewood oil-filled heater that I bought more than eleven years ago and, while the wheel assembly has let me down, the heater itself still works great. I am rating it three stars because one of our heaters is still working, although I don't know for how long, and because they do work well as long as they are working. I expect to get more than a year out of it, though.

Holmes HCH4953-U Ultra-Quiet Dual Ceramic Heater with 1-Touch Review

Customer Ratings:

I've had this heater as the only heat source in my 10X15 ft. office through two Florida winters. It puts out plenty of heat on "low," and is so quiet that I don't know whether it's on or off without looking. The only problem, sadly a big one, is that the thermostat only sets in 5 degree increments and allows too much heat variation before it turns on, so I'm always a little too hot or too cold. I'm thinking of replacing it with one of the competing Lasko ceramic heaters. A friend has one, and it seems to be just as quiet and efficient as the Holmes, but does a better job of maintaining a stable temperature. I have waited and waited for Holmes to come out with a ceramic heater just like this one but with a better thermostat, but I guess this isn't going to happen. Oh, well.

Holmes makes an excellent compact and portable ceramic space heater that really gives off a lot of heat than my older one does! Moreover, the unit is very lightweight and easy to carry although of course I wouldn't carry it while it's working or just after it's been shut off.

The heater is reasonably priced as of the time I am writing this and I sure hope that Holmes continues to make these; I would like to get one for my father. The unit is completely quiet--in fact it's so quiet that you'll never know that it's there unless you see it. It rapidly provides a good amount of heat to areas like bedrooms and offices.

This heater by Holmes is best used for spaces that are roughly 100 square feet or slightly more; I wouldn't depend on it to heat several rooms or a combination living room/dining room all at once. For that you'll either need more than one of these space heaters or you'll have to use this unit along with your central heat or oil heat, whatever you have.

I also like that the unit turns itself off automatically of it should accidentally tip over. That's good protection against fire or ugly marks on your carpeting that could be tough to remove.

If you look at the fourth picture of the unit at the top of this page, you can see for yourself the way you can control the temperature. You get "on" and "off" buttons; and there are five specific temperatures from which to choose. You can adjust the temperature a bit more simply by pushing the "hi" and "lo" buttons. Great!

Again, this is one awesome space heater that's more than worth the current price. I highly recommend it.

I just ordered two more of these units. We've been using them for the last five years or so and love them! We need more because we keep giving them away to our kids, who ask for them specifically. They run quieter and put out more heat (double ceramic heater) than any other fan driven area heater we've ever used. We also love the thermostat features and tip-over shut off. I don't think Holmes is making this model any more and it's a shame. I thought I better get a few more while I can.

Honest reviews on Holmes HCH4953-U Ultra-Quiet Dual Ceramic Heater with 1-Touch

I have to say I've enjoyed my unit. It's the only heat I've had in my large north-east exposure, 2nd floor bedroom over a 2-car garage and still kept it toasty warm. We've had cold weather much more snow than we've ever had at one time and it's been a great little heater. I doubt the thermostat is correct ... I just adjust it up or down as needed. So glad I got it. The 2 Laskos I had were very loud and ineffective. They stopped after only a couple of weeks and not during our coldest weather. This has been very quiet and I really like it. I bought mine from Amazon, and now I see it's sold by a vendor I won't use at $11 higher price than I paid. I bought mine mid-December 2009.

It's been safe to have around my small dog and my 2 yr. old grand-daughter. I would buy it again if Amazon is the vendor and it is a reasonable price.

I hate being cold.

Update (3-28-10) It suddenly quit. Not sure why yet. The temperature can still get cold so I'm not happy. Like another reviewer said it turns itself off no matter what. So what's up with that? It's been about the same 4 month time frame as the other reviewer mentioned. Have to figure something to do about it. Not too sure I would give it the same rating now. I hate being cold.

Update 04-01-10 Discovered that the heater melted the plastic outlet on the heavy duty extension cord I had to use because of the heater's short cord. At first it looked like the heater plug had arc-welded itself to the extension cord. But instead it melted everything inside the extension cord outlet. Thank gooness it was the only thing on that extension cord and the only thing plugged into that wall socket. We thought after prying it loose from (and destroying) the extension cord that the heater was fine since its plug looked normal. But something's changed the prongs, and it won't plug in anywhere.

So lesson learned don't use even heavy duty extension cords (even with a built-in breaker and being the only item plugged into it and only thing plugged into the wall socket). I don't trust this heater enough to buy another of it's kind. I feel fortunate it didn't catch my house on fire.

This heater works great. Extremely quiet and puts out an incredible amount heat for its size. I did a lot of research before purchasing and am very happy with this heater. Safe, quiet, and will heat a room in very little time. The only thing I could think of to make a good product better would be the digital heat settings. They are adjustable in 5 degree increments, which seem to be accurate in terms of actual temp, but it would be nice to have the option of setting it for each degree in between. I always set the thermostat to 70 and let the heater do its thing. Very pleased with its performance.

Sunbeam Royal Mink Microfiber/Fleece Throw Electric Heated Warming Review

Customer Ratings:

This is peachy warm and versatile. I've had it for a couple of weeks now. Couldn't be easier to use. I'm sitting on it right now, folded over my shoulders, and this works for me since I can get up and leave it in the chair very easily. The low setting is usually warm enough, and it gives a consistent comfortable heat. It is not very wide, but this leaves space for arm motion if sitting on top of it, and makes it easy to handle, so no complaints. If someone came up with an electric bathrobe, I guess that would be better, but I've also used this one as a leg wrap all the way down to the floor. I also got their king size bed blanket (which is huge and covers the entire bed from head to foot and sides) and it's as easy to use as this personal wrap, with more temperature settings, also consistent and comfortable heat. Both are fine products, with ample quality and convenience, a pleasure to find someone who cares more about the quality of their product and their customer than they do about their d*** stock options. Somebody really did some research on these blankets because they don't "toast" you at all, so there's no fine tuning required to get it right. Plug it in, push a button, and you're warm within a few minutes. Love 'em.

I don't know why Amazon.com is using a drawing of a bathroom vanity instead of a photo of this great little heat panel. Visit other sites to see what it really looks like. Photos show it as a grey panel with rounded corners. This is accurate, but what the photos don't show is that the front surface is covered with a soft, felt-like covering which adds to the warmth of this little gem. The back is just metal. It heats up quickly and silently and radiates warmth almost instantly. It would easily fit under a desk. It's hard to believe it only uses 150 watts of electricity. I like this unit better than others I've looked at, since it comes with attachable feet and the on/off switch has a red light to remind you that it's on. The switch and light are on the right side and can be easily seen from the front. I'm very pleased with it. But keep in mind, it's meant to be close to you, and it probably won't help heat up an entire room. Still, the warmth it radiates is impressive.

Wonderful, warm, safe, uses barely any electricity, and adds just that right amount of warmth to one person (on top of normal house heating). Great if you have one person in a household who gets cold, but the other people are not cold. Great if you sit at a desk all day and want a heat source near you that is safe. Will help heat up a very small bedroom easily.

Honest reviews on Sengoku SP-160 Mini Panel Electric Heater. 150 Watt

I purchased this for under my desk in my home office as my feet are always cold.

It works "okay" and emits a constant, small, soothing amount of heat, but does not get real warm.

I was finding myself pulling it between my legs. Then it felt much warmer. (Heat comes out both sides.)

I was sensible when I purchased it knowing that it is only 150 Watts ... there is only so much heat that a unit of that size will throw.

What I did next was the "ticket" to total and complete warmth for my feet under my desk!

After this purchase, I purchased a heated floor mat. (Foot Warmer – Cozy Toes – 18"W x 19"D x 1/2"H)

That floor mat product is excellent and gets very warm.

I now use the 2 products together and I'm extremely happy.

This heating panel is definitely better than nothing, but If I could recommend one or the other, it would be the floor mat. It emits much more heat directly to the feet.

I hope this was helpful!

This is a great little heater if you need to heat a small enclosed space or simply provide some extra warmth to an area. I use this heater for my birds. I was forced to move them into the basement and this heater allowed me to do that without compromising their health. The birds can bathe, relax, and play without getting too cold or too hot. There is no temperature adjustment but, really, it doesn't need it. The front gets hot but not enough to really catch fire or burn someone right away. Although, leaving your hand there for a few seconds might result in a minor burn. The lighted on/off switch is a nice touch. Overall, I like it so far... we'll see how long it lasts.

Reviews of Sunbeam Heated Red Plaid Throw Blanket Warm Electric

Customer Ratings:

I bought this blanket last April and fortunately was able to use for a month or so before summer. I have since been using it in the chilly and temperamental fall weather of Western New York. It is a perfect size for one person, it covers me nicely as I lay out on the couch and it even spreads nicely across two laps. I usually have it on the medium setting, low is just a little warmer than a regular blanket..medium gets that nice warming heat. I have only had it on hot once or twice on a very chilly day and only for 5 minutes tops, it gets hot very quickly. The three hour shut off is nice, I don't have to worry about losing heat midway through a movie and I am also not worried if my cats accidentally turn it on when we're not at home. The fabric is lovely, the pattern is fun and great colors, i have not needed to wash it yet. I believe the manufacturer warns about hot spots if the blanket is folded (as in not laid flat out) if this happens it is not enough for me to notice. Also the cord and control is a nice length. My house is very old with very few outlets, I have the blanket plugged in behind the couch and I can use and store the blanket on either side trailing the cord out of the way very nicely. I very much recommend this blanket if you are looking for a nice blanket with a quick and comfortable warming heat.

I bought this for my son as a Christmas present. You can imagine the look on his face when he said "Blanket? Ug..." and tossed it aside for the good stuff. When he realized it was an electric blanket though, that changed things.

Now he goes to bed when it gets cold in the house. I love this thing! A secret to other parents: If you want to get your kids to bed, spend $30 on this blanket then turn the heat down to 60 around 7pm...by 8-9pm, watch what happens. he he he...

ANYHOW...

PROS

Light...Easy to blend with other blankets and not feel too heavy

Warm...not too hot. It works well. Child loves it and cannot get hurt by it.

Quality: The stitching is very nice and the electronics are sturdy but not heavy. Washing it will not hurt it.

Cheap! For the money, it's a great product.

Saves money! Turn off your thermostat and use this. It's very, very efficient.

CONS

None...this is why it gets my coveted 5-star review

I will say: Pay attention to the product description. Dimensions: 50" x 60" This is very small. It is not intended to be the ONLY blanket on your bed, folks. Use it with other blankets. For best use, I recommend a thin sheet/blanket for layer 1, then this blanket for layer 2 then a throw or feather top to top it off. That will keep you warm and let you turn the heat down!

Did I mention it was soft? I wish I had this in the early 1980's. My Electric blanket back then was made out of sandpaper, I swear!

We bought this heater to replace a vertical, standing quartz heater, because our dogs would get too close to the quartz heater and face it, which is bad for anyone to do. This heater avoids that problem entirely, while warming its surroundings quite handily. We like the ability to customize the distribution pattern of the heat as well as the ability to set the temperature either as a unit or individually, however there was no instruction sheet, so learning how to use the various features had to be learned by trial and error. Nonetheless, this is a well-built system with good design and excellent safety features. The only improvement we would suggest is quieter fans in the units.

If you have kids or neurotics in the house, or have knocked your thermostat loose while moving furniture you might consider getting one of these. It is very simple but sturdy. You can't reach through the vent ports with bent paper clips or wire etc. The vents are staggered in a double layer to prevent tampering.

Although the product is what I wanted, the manufacturer and retailer did not do a good job explaining the dimensions. Improve your specifications especially the dimensions to your customers.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This White Rogers Thermostat is a bare Bones, easy to install replacement for just about anyone's basic furnace/AC set-up.

The unit itself seems well made with a nice clean appearance. The controls are pretty self explanatory. A complete exploded wiring diagram with all specs and requirements is posted on the company website so you can easily check this model against your personal electrical requirements to make sure it will work for your central units. All the info you need is posted on the company web site and is MUCH BETTER than the included instructions which are a bit hard to see for us old timers.

A word on installation, if in doubt GET SOMEONE to do it for you, but if you feel comfortable reading simple schematics then it really is a piece of cake to do it yourself. It's not rocket science, it's just a switch/thermostatic control with a few connections. Total installation time was around 15 minutes and everything worked perfectly the first time. (looks good on the wall too)

I was not interested in units that are programmable or respond to internet commands. All I wanted was a good solid decent looking replacement for our ancient 22 year old dinosaur that came with the house when it was new. This Emerson branded White-Rogers does the job admirably and honestly should last hopefully as long as I do. (knock on wood)

Fairly priced, nice looking and functional. Recommended for all those needing a no frills solid thermostat.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I used this White-Rodgers thermostat to replace a Honeywell RTH221B Basic Programmable Thermostat that I had purchased from amazon.com a few years back. The installation was fairly straightforward, it took me less than 15 minutes to remove the old and put on the new. The better part is its operation, it's really fool-proof, there are only three selectable and self-explanatory modes "Home", "Sleep" and "Away", no need to read the user manual in order to know how to use it. With my old one, I could not even figure out how to programm it after reading the manual, maybe that's just me, I always used the up and down buttons to adjust the temperature when needed.

The white-Rodgers thermostat is the best for its look and user friendliness, as far as I am concerned. The blue background is very helpful when adjusting the temp in the dark. It holds only three simple temperature settings: when you are home, sleep time,and when away from home. The settings can be easily adjusted by moving the arrow up for higher temp or down for lower temp.

Honest reviews on White-Rodgers 1F86EZ-0251 Non-Programmable Thermostat

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The programmable thermostat in our home has given us nothing but trouble for many years now. For unknown reasons, it will drop the times & the settings we have programmed into it. My husband & I were looking for a thermostat that was simple to install and simple to use.

The White-Rodgers IF86EZ 0251 has fit the bill. My husband is technically minded, so it was simple for him to install. The thermostat has been easy for us to use. No more dropped times or settings. All we really need is something for home, away, or sleeping, which makes this thermostat perfect for us.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When programmable thermostats first came out, I rushed out to buy one because I liked the idea of being able to pre-set my desired temperatures and, theoretically, reduce my hvac bills. As it turned out, the programming instructions proved to be complicated, so instead of programming, I would set my desired temperature and press the "hold" button. To change temperatures, I would use the arrow buttons, and press "hold". So much for needing a programmable thermostat.

Over the years, and thanks to owning numerous rental Properties, I've learned that many people are just like me set temperature, then press "hold".

This easy set thermostat is made for the "hold" button crowd. All you have to do is set the thermostat for three scenarios, home, sleep or away, and then you press the corresponding button for the time of day. If you don't want to program, the thermostat has factory pre-set temperatures (see chart in the included instructions). The up-down buttons are still there, so you can adjust your Settings, and, if you desire, the thermostat has a Cool Savings Option that allows the thermostat to make small temperature adjustments during high peak demand (like the thermostats advertised by the power companies). I have not tried this setting, so cannot give first-hand experience detail.

For us, having installed well over 75 thermostats over the course of years, installation was not difficult. The unit comes with screws and batteries (many units do not come with batteries), and the unit itself is fairly small. It sticks out from the wall about an inch, but the display is a nice size and I can read the numbers without my glasses (!).

Overall, I am very happy with this unit. It is a good basic thermostat for those who don't want a fancy, programmable unit, or for landlord's who are looking for a simple digital thermostat for their rental properties.
