This heater works really well for heating our living room. We found out it is running our electric bill up sky high. It was supposed to be "energy efficient" and lower you heating bills. Well, it has done just the opposite for us. I would not recommend this heater if you are worried about your electric bill.

This heater was great--quiet and quick to heat up, but for no reason that I can tell, it stopped heating (worked fine yesterday, not today--nothing happened to it, it wasn't even moved). It's on, but even at the full-heat setting, it's just warm. (It used to get hot.)

I called the company and found out that Lakewood was bought out by a company that doesn't even know they used to carry this heater. Forget about support--these heaters aren't even listed in their "no longer supported" system files.

They were imported from China for Lakewood. If they are still being made, I wasn't able to find the company that supplies them to the US.

I purchased this heater on October 21 of 2009. When it worked, it worked great. Heated quickly, quietly and effectively. It was used for most of our winter, NOV, DEC, JAN, and FEB. I started using it again this month, Nov 2010. It quit working, it just wouldn't heat up. I discovered what at first looked like just a malfunctioning tip-over switch since the heater would turn on when tilted to an angle, which would usually result in it turning off. Upon closer inspection I noticed a spot near the bottom of the control side, near a label, that appeared to be melting from behind. I made the decision to dismantle the side of the heater to get a look at the wiring. That's when I discovered that the power cord lead to the tip over sensor had failed causing it to overheat. Due to the close quarters the wire had been pressed against the plastic side and as it over heated it began melting the plastic. There was a black charred indentation where the wire had been pressed against the side. I am lucky that the heater failed before a fire could erupt.

THIS PRODUCT IS PERFECT FOR MY HOME.I HAVE A SMALL RANCH HOME WITH LOW CEILINGS. THIS IS THE ONLY ITEM I USE TO HEAT MY HOME. I TOLD MY OIL COMPANY TO GET LOST. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GOES DOWN TO THE UPPER TEENS AT NIGHT MY HOUSE STAYS ACOMFORTABLE 66 INSIDE. I'M USED TO THIS TEMPERATURE BY NOW. THE LAKKEWOOD EP-2000 HAS INFRARED TECHNOLOGY ALSO ;WHICH WONT DRY OUT YOUR SINUSUS. THIS HEATER WAS ONE GREAT BY IN MY OPINION.

Great product, it is made in the USA. Works great. keeps my temps consistent (+/4*), I use it along with a fan speed controller to lower the noise of the fan when needed. Overall a great product.

So this controller works exactly as advertised. I use it to control 1 small 8" duct fan and a large 10" centrifugal fan that cools down my home greenhouse at "night". During the "day" this controller works in my space as an emergency limit switch should my ventilation / ac fail to lower the temperature below 90F. Quotations around "night" and "day" because in my case "night" and "day" are reversed in my greenhouse as is the case for many plant growers.

If you are thinking of buying this you should know a few things.

(1) To control larger fans capable of being speed controlled only (>400CFM) that operate for longer periods I recommend the TMP-VSc unit over this one. The TMP-VSc automatically winds up and down the fan based on how close you are getting to the target temperature value. The VSc unit is only a little more expensive than the DNe, and in this specific scenario it will save you $ on your electric.

*Most in-line duct fans can not be speed controlled. Some lower quality centrifugal fans such as C.A.P.'s valueline are very noisy when speed controlled. Vortex fans are not noisy and can be speed controlled, just my experience.

(2) You must consider your source air temperature (T_source), source humidity, and set temperature (T_set). FOR GREENHOUSES ALWAYS KEEP T_SETT_outside and the outside air has undesirably low humidity either your going to put your humidifier through a workout or your space is going to get too dry or both.

Got this to automate the day/night temperature differential in my grow tent. It does a good job. I've got it connected to a heater at the moment and it does a great job. I gave it only 3 stars because there is only a 3-4 degree F variance when I place it on 7. Other than that minor problem this is a great unit!

Not much to be said about this controller. Arrived on time and works great. No rocket science involved with setting this baby up. Have my 6" inline fan plugged in to it and use it to vent hot air from my room. You can also plug an a/c unit into it if you wish instead of a fan.Either way it's worth every penny.

We purchased the New Comfort ES1500 heater to help supplement our propane heater in a very cold/drafty house. This is our first winter in this big old farm house in NW Wisconsin and even though we haven't experienced our normal cold temps, this house can get very cold.

We put the heater in the kitchen because it was always much colder in that room. We set the heater at 68 degrees during the day and 63 degrees at night. On the days we average 25+ degrees during the day, the heater manages to, at times, reach the 68 degrees..although it usually averages about 65 degrees. When we had our cold spell (below zero) the heater struggled to keep the kitchen at 60 degrees, usually only managing 56-58 degrees. Granted, our kitchen isn't blocked off from the living room or bathroom, but there are heat ducts in those areas also.

The great upside to owning this heater is the propane savings. We were going through $500 a month in heat costs, but with the heater our propane consumption has decreased by at least 25%. It is cheaper to pay an increase in electric than shell out another $500.

So, with all that said, I would buy this product again. I don't believe it can heat 1000 feet, but it does help. If you live in a warmer climate, or have a better insulated house, it just might do everything it claims.

Safe, works great, keeps me warm on very hard cold nights an days.

Best for energy , even has a energy selection!

Safest ever for RV's , surface does not get hot, blower up higher for function of air flow!

Just do not cover up plug & wires and leave open area for air flow in rear.

Now you have a wonderful product, I just can't wait till you make it look like a fireplace! I wanted one but saw these spec's, always read Spec'! This solld me, Safety is my concern!

Five Stars from Me:)

Received last year Decided half way through the year it wasn't going to work anymore Says "alarm 1" Will not work and cannot find any info or get any answers as to what the alarm is for or how to fix it. Seems to me if you are going have that type of warning there should be some sort of list of what the alarms are but nothing. So for a good price I got a heater that lasted half a winter Not impressed

It will heat a 14 by 20 foot room with no other heat source but just moderately and will run all the time. used for one season and it still works so that is a plus.

I have had this unit since Dec. 2012 and has been working great

And performs as promised. I have not had any programming issues with setting the digital thermostat and love the fact that it programs just like the house thermostat with the weekdays and weekend options along with the wake, leave, return, and sleep time frames. The tempature settings in our case had to be set lower than we would set the house thermostat because it was making the room too warm; the is only 300 sq feet but is a converted garage with no duct work. We bought a 2nd unit a few weeks later for added heat in the kids room. Both units since programming them have been a "set it and forget it". Another feature I like is there is a temporary override to the programmed settings, so when its extra cold weather outside you can adjust thd temperature without changing your programmed temperatue settings.
