I just got my Excalibur stainless steel dehydrator with stainless steel trays. I do not feel comfortable with using plastic to cook, which is another reason I got rid of my microwave a few years ago.. I think more raw, natural, the better -

I ordered this directly from Excalibur, not Amazon, to get the 10 year warranty. I researched many types of dehydrators. I've never had one, but eat mostly vegan, and decided that this was the next step to more alkaline food, tasty healthy treats, saving the planet from packaging, etc...

I ordered this Monday 5.6.13, and it was delivered today 5.8.13!!! So far the service is excellent!!

Out of the box, I read the instructions, read the cookbooks, and put the door handles on, and plugged it in!! It's been "going" all day! I've made banana, apple, potato, sweet potato, spinach, cilantro, green onions, and they are almost all done (6 + hrs later) . . .

I am so glad I got the 9 tray, as many of the other writers suggested, since 1 potato ( very thinly sliced) took 3 trays alone!! Once things shrink, they can be moved to make more space, but initially, the items take up a full tray. One apple too 2 trays.. until it started to shrink.

This product is well made, and I am so happy I spent the "big" bucks, and got the stainless steel trays... It's so simple and easy! I can't wait for holiday season, to give gifts to people.

So, it's ready to go, out of the box, basically... fits on the counter nicely and doesn't make much noise at all! It's been working hard all day and I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a dehydrator. This and my Vitamix are my 2 favorite and most expensive items in my kitchen. I think they are both made to last a life time, and the companies have excellent customer service.

So far so good!

I read all about the different dehydrators and reviews of so many models. And since most of the reviews were good no matter what unit it was, I could not figure out which one to buy.

...then found a user group who wrote a detailed review of pros and cons of different units and the strengths and weaknesses etc. it became very obvious that this style and brand of dehydrator WITH A TIMER is the only way to go. It

works so well. i also bought the "Pack of 9 Premium 14" x 14" Non-Stick Dehydrator SheetsFor Excalibur". you need these sheets for lots of reasons, you will see once you get going.

I have had it for 3 days and have used it for kale, strawberries, apples, pears, bananas, pears, sprouted sunflower seeds pumpkins seeds and almonds. Everything comes out fantastic. Rotate the trays and try different temps too. But start some of the fruits out on the sheets and once they are slightly dry peel them of the sheets and put directly onto the racks liners and they will dry faster. keep a sheeted tray in the bottom position and you will make a little less mess, but its no big deal to clean if some stuff collects in the bottom anyway.

a tip...if you have a bowl of mixed stuff you dehydrated at different temps like seeds at 105 and fruit at 135 and you want to "freshen it up a bit" (so your friends can taste it at its best), just dump a nice pile of the whole mixture on a sheeted tray an hour before they arrive, and run it at like 100-105 before serving.

I personally don't do a whole lot of drying of foods, so the 5 tray is more than adequate for my needs. Most people like the 9 tray though, that's totally up to you. Both are basically the same size, but the 9 tray is much higher.

The unit arrived in one day. Thank you Amazon for being awesome like always. This thing is fantastic. It has a self-timer and a heat control that goes up to about 155 deg F. Which is more than adequate. Depending on what you're drying too that is. I usually do "biltong" which is a South African version of beef jerky, but far far far far far better. Once you've had proper biltong, you won't want to eat jerky any longer. Jerky is way too dry and tough and hard to chew and your jaw is hurting after a few pieces. Biltong has different spices and is really tasty and does not need to be dried that long like jerky. It's up to you and your taste.

This machine is very nice. It is NOT loud. I have it on while watching a movie and it runs but it's not even given a thought. The aroma in the house is somewhat nice though.

I have made batches of biltong already and they came out so much better than I could have ever hoped. It's all in the recipe and the preparation. The drying piece is the last piece of it. The recipe is super simple and let your meat marinate for at least 4-8 hours, longer if you wish. AS you play around with the recipe, you'll learn what you like best. Then the Excalibur takes care of the drying.

It's great on other foods too, which i have not played around with yet at all. I have only used it for making biltong, thus far. I will continue to experiment. Highly recommended product.

So, my wife is the one who uses it and I had to wait to see if she thought it was worth the price. Now that she has used it a few times and learned how it works, it seems to accomplish the task for which it was intended and does so with as little fuss as possible. I'll update this as time goes on. One thing I know is great. I bought the model with the timer, and as she usually only finds time to do her stuff late at night, it is great that she can turn on the timer and go to bed. That makes the additional cost for the timer worth every cent of its cost.

Aprilaire Thermostat, Programmable Dual Powered Universal Reviews

Customer Ratings:

For Southern homeowners who need heat in the morning and air-conditioning in the afternoon, the 8466 is great! Mine has been working for more than a week and I love it! It changes between heat and air automatically, alleviating any manual switching! Since it is universal, one can choose heating/air-conditioning or a heat pump with the flip of a switch! I didn't need to replace my seven year-old Aprilaire 8365, but I needed a unit that my wife could program easily, and the 8466 fit the bill! No touch screen, just buttons and a large, brightly lit screen, and for the price, you can't beat it! However, if you want your heating temperature close to your air-conditioning temperature or you don't want your aux heat(higher bills)on in the mornings, you will need Technical Support help. Believe me, that is not a problem since their Customer Service is superb! Very quick response time and they are very thorough! It is a great company to work with!

Best Honeywell Timer Switch with Sunrise Sunset Single or 3 Way Deals

Customer Ratings:

Like many users of this product, I use programmable timers for all outdoor lighting and several indoor light fixtures to create the "someone is home" appearance. Statistics continually show that most burglars will pick a softer target if they can't be sure the home is unoccupied.

The Honeywell PLS750C is a simple solution for controlled interval lighting with most any type of load including fluorescent lights and small motors. The "small motor" feature was important to me because I use an outdoor receptacle to operate an electric string trimmer. The circuit is shared with outdoor lighting switched with the PLS750C timer.

Never again will my wife be impatiently waiting to depart for vacation while she watches me reprogram 7 timers that were programmed for a previous season with the wrong ON/OFF times. The PLS750C is truly a "set it and forget it" timer with the intuitive menu that prompts the user to enter geographic coordinates to continually adjust for the ever-changing sunrise/sunset times. The 4 hour clock backup is a good tradeoff to eliminate the batteries required by most self-adjusting wall switch timers. If power is lost for more than four hours, it is quick and easy to reset the clock. The user ON/OFF program will remain in memory indefinitely during power outages. One reviewer on another site mentioned a vacation home with frequent outages lasting longer than 4 hours. The inferior battery-backup style timers would probably be the best option in those situations when no one is at the home to reset the clock during extended power outages.

The part number for the non 3-way Honeywell timer is RPLS740B. It took me forever to find the 3-way version because it is not yet listed on the Honeywell website (as of Feb 26, 2012). As mentioned by a previous reviewer, opt for the 3-way version (unless you are intimidated by the extra wires) because it will work fine as a 2-way switch and the cost is the same. You might have a future application for a 3-way timer.

Unless I missed it, I saw no comments about using the timer to switch OFF/ON several times during the nighttime hours of each 24 hour period. I like to program a few OFF periods lasting only 5 or 10 minutes during the nighttime hours to enhance the "someone is home" appearance. By staggering brief OFF periods with different timers you create the illusion that someone is moving room-to-room inside the home.

Though my first two PLS750C timers have been in service only about one week, the clocks are accurate relative to my atomic clock. The Box Store versions of the Intermatic self-adjusting battery backup wall switch timers were poor time keepers, requiring periodic adjusting of 5 or 10 minutes every few months. Some models of the Intermatic self-adjusting wall switch timers were recalled due to a safety hazard associated with replacing the battery. The attractive illuminated LCD screen on the Honeywell PLS750C makes the timer much easier to read than other timers I have used.

I configured a cost calculator comparison chart showing an annual power savings of $112 by replacing only five 60 watt incandescent bulbs with lumen-comparable CFLs programmed to operate dusk to dawn with the Honeywell PLS750C wall switch timers.

I will be ordering several additional Honeywell PLS750C wall switch timers.

Google "Handy Math dot com" for the spiffy power consumption cost calculator if you wish to know precisely what it cost to operate your lights. Over a one-year period use 12 hours for the dusk-to-dawn ON time in the calculator to reflect the changing hours of darkness, or use 4,380 hours per year for each dusk-to-dawn light and you'll have a good number for a realistic average.

I don't usually post any review but I'm just so angry with Honeywell that I need to share with other people so they don't make the same mistake by buying this switch. I bought two of these wall switches because of its functionality(sunrise/sunset) and its looks. The setup was so easy until when it stopped working and Honeywell will not give you its warranty without you paying their professional group. But before I get to that warranty issue, let me tell you about my setup. I bought two of these switches 10 months ago, one for my porch and one for the kitchen, using the single-switch installation. Each switches is attached to two 15 Watts Sylvania CFL(so total of 30 watts for both per switch).

Recently, I noticed that the display is off on one of the switches(it seems like it has no power) and there's no way for me to turn on the switch manually. The switch will turn on once it reach the time that I set it to turn on. So it semi-working but it's not good if you want to manually turn on your lights. Few days after, same issue started happening on the other switch as well. The switch has 3 years warranty and since I'm only on my 10month, I should not have no problem getting a replacement, well I was wrong. I called Honeywell technical support and they want to find out how much load does each switch have. Telling them that it's only using 2-15 watts is not enough for them and since I have no idea, I told them I will have to call them back and once I have those information available. After I had my electrician friend checked it, he told me that the issue is not the wiring or load but the switch is defective. I called Honeywell support again this morning, at first, the tech told me that it might be wiring issue but I told them that it has been working for 10months and if it's wiring issue, it would not work from day 1. I also said that the switch is not completely dead since it still turns on when it scheduled to turn on but I just could not manually turn it on since there's no display. At this time, support told me that since this is a professional product, I will need to be transferred to their professional group to perform the troubleshooting and if it need replacement, they will need to install the switch for me. I told him that if they come to my house I'm pretty sure they will charge me for the service. Support said that I will pay for the service but not sure how much. So I told support that I will not waste my time talking to your professional group because I have no intention on paying them to come to my house to install a new switch. I rather buy another similar product and guarantee that it will not cost more than $100.

So be careful when buying this switch, basically its warranty is useless from day 1, unless you're willing to spend more money for their professional group. I just bought the GE digital timer which is less then $30 and it has same functionality as the Honeywell switch.

Great product IF it works. If you follow the instructions it really is simple to install and to program. Stay calm, stick with the instructions and you'll do fine. I bought two of these units to control my outside lights from dawn to dusk and when they worked they were exactly what I wanted. However after a couple of days they would randomly just shut off, the display would go blank and none of the controls / buttons would do anything. They wouldn't do it at the same time but just randomly and independently. I discovered that if I turned the breaker off for 5 seconds and then turned it back on that they would 'reset' and work again apparently as if nothing had happened. But sure enough within 24 hours or so they would shut off again. I checked the wiring, checked the line voltage etc and nothing helped.

So I did what anyone would do and called the Honeywell customer assistance hot line. To give them credit it is relatively easy to get connected to a live person, I called 4 times and each time got to talk to a person within 60 seconds of picking up the phone. However the live person is very obviously in India.... I don't care if he says his name is Chuck or Henry or whatever they are in India and can't do anything except read the prompts on their computer monitor. You would think that that one of the requirements for the person on the phone is that they had at least a basic working knowledge of the product that they are supporting and general wiring and electrical principals. Don't try using logic with these people it's almost comical, the fact that volts x amps = watts was seemingly baffling to them.

Now here is the part that completely frustrated the heck out of me. After calling 4 separate times and each time being instructed to perform certain diagnostics requiring accessing the switch to measure voltage or get a code printed on the back of the switch etc I was told that because this was a 'professional unit' that I needed to get a licensed electrician or installer to come trouble shoot the switch. No where on the box or the paperwork in the box does it say that this switch will not be warranted if installed by a home owner. I very calmly told the person on the phone that I was not paying $100 or more to have an electrician come troubleshoot a switch that could be replaced with one that actually worked for less than half that cost. Again this 'logic' was impossible for the person on the phone to grasp.

So bottom line is this. The product is great, it does exactly what it is advertised to do (when it works), and when it works it works very well in fact I don't think you will find a comparable product for the price. However be prepared to simply toss it in the trash IF it doesn't work.

I've owned one of these in my prior home, and had ZERO problems with it over several years. I've just purchased this one for my new home, and the pros include:

Excellent quality construction

Works perfectly in a 3-way wiring setup

Works perfectly with LED lighting

Attractive, and very easy to program

Highly recommended.

I was looking for a timer for my exterior lights that would would fit into an existing 3-way setup with CFL's and this worked perfectly. It took a little bit of online research to correlate the included instructions with my existing 3-way wiring but that was a quick exercise.

One caution: this unit requires a neutral feed so folks with older wiring will be out of luck.

I have used this little pot for three years. I wanted to have my own pot because I prefer to use single cup drip method for my own coffee rather than the various hotel coffee pots and packaged coffees. I have carried it overseas many times. It comes with two converter plug options, one for the U.S. I have had no problems using other converters for more countries. The company is very customer friendly and replaced the lid at no charge when I cracked it due to careless packing on my part.

Review of Johnson Controls Digital Thermostat Control Unit

Customer Ratings:

I use the thermostat to control the temperature in a chest freezer that I use for fermenting beer (35-55 F). The controller works great for this purpose. I also have a second one that I plan on using to operate a HERMS device for my mashing system. You can set the controller to operate a heater or cooling device but you must reposition "jumpers" inside the unit (not difficult but a pain if you plan on doing it often). If you want a unit that switches automatically betweem cooling and heating, you are better off with the more expensive Ranco controller.

This particular controller will allow you to set the target temperature (as either a closing or openning point), the number of degrees of variance from target before the unit turns on/off, a time delay before the unit is allowed to reactivate the device(great for extending the life of a freezer or fridge), power supply on/off option in the case of unit failure and options for using remote monitoring/controlling if you choose to upgrade.

For the money, it is the best value on the market. No wiring required, simply plug in the device to the controller and the controller into the wall. The Ranco offers more options if you prefer to wire your own device or you can go all out and use a Love or other commercial controller that is fully customizable but is best mounted into a control device panel. Check out for examples of what can be done with more sophisticated controller units.

Its easy to use...the manual makes it seem overly complicated.

SP: setpoint (for my purpose 67) the temperature you want the thing to try and maintain.

dIF: differential (1 to 30F, default = 5) I leave at default, this is the point + or from the setpoint temp (so 62 to 73 in my case.

ASd: anti-short cycle delay (0 to 12 minutes, default = 1)I set to 12 minutes, just to put the least amount of stress on the compressor.

I recommend it!

Using this for home brewing. Connected to a small chest freezer. It controlled my 7 gallon fermentation vessel as well as the corny kegs. Setting the thresholds could be easier but once you understand it works exactly as advertised.

I have been looking at sous vide water ovens for years now, but could just not bring myself to spend $500 or more on one. Then I discovered the Johnson Controls Control unit. I paired this unit with the Maxi-Matic MST-800V Elite Gourmet Large 8-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, a Danesco Roasting Rack Oval 6x9 Inch Non-stick (which fits perfectly in the bottom of the slow cooker, and a Weber 6479 Grill Press (cast iron, but covered in enamel so it won't rust). The grill press is heavy enough to hold the vacuum sealed bag with meat in it down again against the roasting rack. I use a plastic twist tie to attach the temperature probe to the handle of the grill press for accurtate water temp measurement. The temp. contoller is very easy to change from cooling to heating and directions are easy to understand in the following youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prbWgMY3c5c

I also purchased the Stainless Steel Toast Rack: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LWVJHA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the IRIS Stainless Steel Cutting Board Organizer / Napkin Holder

The toast holder or Cutting Board Organizer / Napkin Holder can be wired to the handle of the grill press sitting on the bottom of the crock pot and used to hold smaller individually sealed pieces of meat or steaks to keep them submerged in the bath and separated.

So for a total of $177.18, I got myself, what I think, is a very nice sous vide set up that can be adapted to a variety of sizes and pieces of meat or seafood.

Addendum: 7/18/2013

Used the sous vide for the first time this weekend and it's performance was stellar. I cooked a plain, old, run of the mill, chuck roast with nothing but salt and pepper on it. I cooked it at 142 degrees for 2 1/2 days. However, next time I need to reduce the temp some. When I took it out it was medium well and I prefer medium rare. It was just pink, but no red juices. I must say though, even though it was done more than I prefer, it was the best roast beef I have ever had, anywhere, anytime. You literally could eat this without teeth it was so tender. I cut mine in pieces and dipped it in steak sauce. It really rivaled a filet mignon. If you have the time and can plan ahead, this is the only way to cook meat. I am going to do a pork loin in the sous vide for pulled pork for a pot luck I have coming up next month.

First off, to the 50% of the people that are complaining or gave low rating on this because it was too complicated to install or wifi was too complicated to setup, or the fact that because it requires a 5th wire (C wire) that its garbage, I dont know what to tell you folks. Before getting all bent out of shape, why not understand how the thing works.

First off yes you need a 5th wire, mainly to power the wifi module, without it, you cannot expect 3 AA batteries to power a wifi module endlessly for years. It would barely last 6hrs on the AA batteries. Most furnances have C wires, many times they are not wired up because none of the older thermostats ever needed it, they were always operated by battery or worse you had an old school round mercury based one. So as long as the installer ran the wire and tucked away the unused ones, its nothing but untucking that wire, attaching it, going to the furnace and attaching that end also to the C terminal. DONE!

2ndly, the wifi is somewhat of a complicated setup but the reason is that it has to be provisioned with Filtretes servers/cloud. Almost all things of this nature (even my iAqualink pool control module) was like this. You have to undertand that all your devices inside a house will be private IP addresses not accessible through the public/internet side. So the only way around this is to setup a cloud and have the devices periodically talk back to the cloud. If you follow the directions, getting wifi to work using the Andrioid App or iPhone/iPad is a joke. I provisioned them in minutes. I have 4 of these in my house and I wasnt pulling my hair out. You simply directly connect to the thermostat's wifi SSID, initially setup your wifi's SSID and encryption key, let it reboot the thermostat, then go back to the Thermostat app and it will finish off adding the thermostat to your account.

Lastly, for those saying it cannot directly communicate with the thermostat? Uh.... think again, it does. If you phone for exmaple is on wifi in your house and you launch the thermostat App, it will directly talk to each thermostat, not to the cloud. So you adjust the temperature, it will within few seconds update and activate. The cloud communication is used primarily if you are not on the same network, like out at the mall/store or another state.

This also has open APIs you can use to program logging applications, etc. You can easily also program the GeoFencing concept of having it know when you are say 3miles within radius of the house and have it automatically move it out of away mode and back into heat/cool mode. Take a look at Filtrete's forums, its full of info on stuff like this, all of which is open source.

So for between my house (4 of these 3M50s, and my parents house (two of them)), everything works great.

Installation took me roughly 30 minutes, including WiFi setup. I am experienced with networking, however if I were not, I don't see how this odd WiFi setup process could have worked! Instead of providing ad-hoc WiFi and a DHCP server, wouldn't WPS be much easier and more applicable? Press a button on router, press a button on thermostat, done.

Since this implementation also assumes that the customer already has a computer or iPhone with WiFi support, the customer that comes home from the store with a WiFi router and thermostat to connect to their broadband connection is going to be disappointed -and the router and thermostat are all that should be necessary. And to back up the critical review, the cloud should be an enhancement, not a requirement -if it has an HTTP server, build a local interface!

The design is also a bit quirky -the top, bottom, and sides have way too much clearance (depth) from the wall, and the wire routing is odd. The self-adhesive "wire cover" doesn't cut it at all. The captive screw contacts are too close to the top of the LCD and you must be very careful not to nick the plastic. The recessed installation screw holes are a pain. I almost want to cut a square hole in my wall just to recess the unit!

However, even with the flaws, this is cool (or hot, ha) functionality for $100. Since the mode selection is auto/cool/heat, it appears that I just upgraded to automatic switching between cool/heat, which would be useful in the spring when the outdoor temperature goes haywire.

A little difficult to install (running the additional C wire was a challenge). Once installed the thermostat controls as required and allows access remotely. This is very useful in lowering the air conditioning a few hours before arriving at a remote location. The house temperature in Texas has been checked from Australia by smart phone and iPad!

I almost let the reviews scare me away from the product but I am glad I actually went ahead and bought it on closeout at Home Depot.

Install was straightforward. I would not call it easy, and I would not call it complex. I am just a normal guy with no real experience with these sorts of things, but the manual explained everything very easily and I had the hardware disconnected and reconnected in half an hour.

The software install is very logical with your wireless router system. If you follow the online manual, it works perfectly. Just make sure to write down the codes when it tells you to.

I was able to install the app on my Android phone (Galaxy S3) and it works flawlessly.

I am very happy with the scheduling options and I've put it to the test already. It works great and I'm looking forward to more consistent comfortable temperatures and lower energy bills in my home.

I have one of these in our two homes. They work great!

The only draw back, as others have written, is wifi setup is tricky. You also must have power to the thermostat from the A/C or furnace to use wifii. If not you have to supply power via an inexpensive transformer. Both of my air conditioner units had power to the thermostat via what is referred to as a "C" wire. Once set up its a pleasure.

I've been using them for over a year and they are rock solid so far.

I never ever go to the actual thermostat any more as I always use my iPhone or iPad app to control.

You can monitor temp, change temp settings, switch from cool to heat from anywhere in the world as long as you have Internet or smart phone connectivity.

I spent several days on Amazon to compare different grills before I placed the order. And yes, this is the one! The temperature can be very high and heating is fast. Very less smoke and the non-sticky surface is good so far easy to clean and won't peel off. It is also very easy to move around and assemble/disassemble. Light but well-made. The price is also competitive. Much cheaper than the Zojirushi one. We have several appliances from Zojirushi, but I will prefer this one for grill. Plus it has an interchangeable griddle surface. So everything is perfect.

I had to send this same grill back to another store because the handle was broken. But when I saw this one with the griddle also included I had to try it again. This one also had a broken piece to the handle, but I managed to fix it, and happy to have kept it. It has been a pleasure to use.

I have grilled chicken, steak and fish in the first week, I liked it so much. This electric grill is slotted for air and it gets hot enough to give a nice browning like a gas bar-b-que does. The pan below it catches the drips. I added (as instructed) a half cup of water to the lower pan and everything was easy clean up. Easy cleaning and browning was my goal and this grill did really well.

I don't really like the G. Forman type grills, so was happy to find this electric open grill that can move inside or out, instead of gas grilling, yet on the sink indoors! I set it outside my door by a close electric outlet when grilling fish so the smells stay outside. Worked beautifully!

The griddle is an added plus, and they both will go in the RV perfectly. Lightweight also, and I hope it lasts because I really found what I was looking for.

One of these was recently installed by my landlord. The design is pretty terrible. It has numbers on the surface, but they are so far away from anything that moves when you set the temperature that you can't actually see what temperature you've set it to. It also doesn't keep whatever temperature very well; at least in my installation, if I set it to a comfortable temperature, it will wait too start heating until I'm uncomfortably cold, and stop heating when I'm uncomfortably hot. People have told me I'm not particularly sensitive to temperature, so I'm pretty sure it isn't just me.

Review of Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this thermostat because I like the programmable setback features as well as the ability to see how long the system has ran in a given day. However, during the heating season my heat bill almost doubled. I had HVAC techs out 4 times, under warranty thankfully, to check the heat pump and they kept saying it was ok. Finally the last guy who came out determined it was the thermostat. The thermostat will run the heat pump for 15mins (this is preprogrammed and NOT changeable). If it hasn't reached its set point within that time it brings in Aux heat until it reaches its set point. When it's cold you're almost always running on Aux heat. For me that was electric and you can imagine the bills. I have since went with a thermostat that has Adaptive Intelligence (Honeywell) that will only bring in Aux heat when needed based on an internal calculation. The Adapative Intelligence thermostats will also shut off the Aux heat when it gets close enough to the set point that the thermostat knows the heat pump can do the rest. This Hunter thermostat works great for A/C, just not for heat with electric backup (Aux).

I bought this thermostat a couple of weeks ago; it has been working well so far and has plenty of bells and whistles. Installation was fairly straight-forward; the instructions were a bit unclear, but one call to their support staff took care of that problem. This unit seems pricy when compared to other thermostats, but it was the only one that I could find for a multi-state heat pump system. But since I was able to install it myself, and it has been working well since then, I'm not particularly unhappy about the price.

Bought this thermostat yesterday to replace the mundane mechanical manual one on my Ruud heat pump system. Included instructions for wiring could not have been any clearer. Programmed weekly schedule in 10 mins. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Honest reviews on Hunter 44760 Multi-Stage Heat Pump Thermostat

We got the thermostat for its programmability and the way it switches between heat and air. All those are great. BUT when the heat does run, the auxillary heat kicks on EVERY TIME. I have spent more time than I care to admit on the phone with tech support, then I found the review that explains that it is what this one does... in an electric heat pump, auxillary heat is VERY EXPENSIVE. So much for the energy star! We have purchased another...Our heat system had NEVER had its auxillary heat on in its four year life. We've replaced it and returned it. I'm watching for my electricity bill and worried...

We had previously installed a regular programmable thermostat for a standard system. Unfortunately we found out two years (too late) later that if you use a regular programmable thermostat with a heat pump system then you never actually use the heat pump in the winter you always run off of emergency heat which uses a ton of electricity and runs up the electric bill big time! We've since installed this unit and it works excellent. There are so many programmable features I don't even know where to start! This is an exceptional unit for the price you won't be dissatisfied!

I've bought this part after my KitchenAid Superba oven (KEBS177DBL7) lost heat after I used SELF cleaning option (for the first time!). This is infamous design flaw in KitchenAid ovens, however, KitchenAid does not admit (even though there are thousands of reports about this in Internet!). I contacted KitchenAid hoping they send me a new thermostat for free but no such luck: even though I am "a valuable customer" they don't care since my oven is out of warranty. It should be called a "recall" considering number of complains, but again KitchenAid doesn't care.

So, this part replaces the original KitchenAid part (p/n 4452223) perfectly, but I am not going to use SELF CLEANING ever again. And this is my last KitchenAid appliance, I'd never buy anything from them again.

The first time we tried to use the self clean feature on our kitchenaid oven. Two and a half hours into the self clean, the oven showed a fault code and shut off. Upon googling the issue, many said the thermostat had blown. Sure enough, this fixed the problem. I did it myself, saved probably $150.00 and didn't spend any more time on the issue than I would have if I had to deal with someone coming in to fix it for me.

If you have a Kitchenaid Superba oven, DO NOT EVER RUN THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION. It shorts out a fuse that is super expensive. A repair visit will cost you over $100. I ordered this part, removed the oven (found the installation manual online) and easily replaced this burnt out fuse, or thermostat...

I ordered this part to repair my mother-n-law's oven after she ran the self cleaning cycle. It took about 15 min and I had it going again. A lot cheaper than having a repairman do it.

Must be a design flaw...wall ovens frequently stop heating after one uses their self-clean cycle.

The culprit more often than not is a burnt-out thermal fuse on the back of the oven.

Save yourself a bundle...buy this part (or one similar to it for your oven) and install it yourself! It only takes a few minutes, and Presto! your oven works again.

Caution: make sure you order the correct fuse for your oven. Remove the old one before ordering, or look at your oven's specs, to make sure what part you need.
