I got a Mr. Heater Single unit about 8 years ago as a backup source of heat after hurricane Hugo knocked out our power for three weeks. It is still working fine and has come in real handy during infrequent ice storms and winter power failures.

My dad liked my single a lot so he bought a Mr. Heater Double to heat a big 3 car garage sized shop. He liked it but now thinks that a single would have worked fine as the double gets that big area heated in no time and keeps it really toasty.

My single unit works far better than gas logs to heat up a room. It does make a hissing sound that is not too loud but barely audible. A single will knock the chill off a large room in no time. A tank of propane will last about 30 to 36 continuous hours if you keep it set on low. I think this is a great alternative to other auxilary heat sources like Kerosuns or a fireplace. With an asthmatic child in our family, a kerosene heater is out of the question for us. This burns clean, creates no odor, smoke or soot. There's no maintenance, no wicks or anything like that. You can store it indefinitely untouched and then pull it out and fire it up with no preparation. I will buy another one if mine ever wears out.

I have recommended Mr. Heater to lots of my friends and family and have no reservation about recommending one to you. If you can't decide whether you need a single, double or triple I suggest trying the single first. Then if you aren't happy step up to the double or triple. It is really amazing how much heat a Mr. Heater Single generates!

It is rare to find a really good product that is durable and an excellent value. Mr. Heater is one of those rare finds. They are the Zippo lighter of auxillary space heaters in my opinion.

I live in the South, and in November each year I like to build a temporary enclosure for my deck. Last year I tried to rely on a firepit and electric heater for warmth--big mistake. This year I have the Mr. Heater--big bonus.

I've owned and operated the Mr. Heater for a few days now, and I can tell you that it really puts out the heat. If you're used to plug-in heaters you buy at Wal-Mart, you'll be blown away by the heat this thing puts out. 8,000 BTU's is incredible (that's the lowest setting). There just isn't anything comparable in its class.

I've never used propane before, so I was hesitant (there's just something about all that compressed lethel gas that gives me pause). But, it has been easy.

1. Buy the Mr. Heater and READ the manuel.

2. Go to Home Depot, Lowes, etc. and purchase a 20lb. propane tank. At the time of this writing, it costs about $48 for a filled tank (since you're a first-time buyer).

3. There's a threaded pipe part of the Mr. Heater that you press into the companion pipe on the propane tank; twist the nut on the Mr. Heater into the propane tank. Use a wrench to tighten.

4. On the propane tank is a faucet-like handle that you turn to open the gas flow.

5. Turn the Mr. Heater nob to the Medium dot.

6. Press in the Ignition.

** I recommend checking for leaks by using some soapy water. Please do this--only takes a minute. **

7. Use a match or candle lighter placed with a flame where it says.

8. It will immediately ignite; hold in the ignition for up to 30 seconds and release.

Voila. You've got instant heat--and it's instant! To turn off, just turn the Mr. Heater nob back to Off. Also, very important, it's a good idea to "close" the gas flow from the propane tank, so just turn that faucet to the closed position.

Refills are currently about $17. Just take the tank in, and at Home Depot, the used propane tank is swapped out for one that's already filled.

It's that easy! As one reviewer noted, it's not completely silent. There is a low hiss (from the propane release), but it hasn't bothered me at all. An excellent heater.

I bought this heater to take the chill off the cool desert evenings. I use it on my patio which is not enclosed and it puts out enough heat to warm 4 people sitting around the patio table. Often the person sitting closest to the heater has to move away as they get too warm. I used this unit all winter with no problems.

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater MH15T Single Tank-Top Propane Heater

We live right on a coastal cliff in Northern California, so cool sea breezes are a way of life. It never gets over about 72 and almost never below about 50 during the day/early evening.

We have a small deck and have looked longingly at the big overhead gas heaters, but rust is such a problem here and the space so small that it wasn't really an option.

We got this heater almost as an experiment to see if a small horizontal unit would let us sit out in the evening, where after sunset it's usually around 55, too cool to sit comfortably.

And it works! The great thing for us is it's small enough to stuff in a wardrobe until needed.

It screws onto a propane bottle quickly (in fact once I've finished barbecuing I just unhook the bottle, drag it over to where we sit and attach the heater to the top.. it all takes about 2 minutes).

The heat is good, but not what you would call particularly radiant, which is to say most of the heat goes straight up, BUT the refector does a good enough job that if we (two of us) sit reasonably close together we for sure get a nice steady warming effect with it on max.

To sum up, it does what it says and is a good option for those who want to warm an area of their porch, but keep in mind it will be a small area unless you have a fairly enclosed space which will stop the heat escaping.

I think a larger refector would do a better job for us though, and if given the chance over I would probably spend a little more to get the same make but with the double reflector.

However this is a great product and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

The heater works as advertised. I have almost finished my second 20lb propane tank using this heater with no issues. I am located at about 5400 feet above sea level for those with concerns about using it at altitude. I have noticed that on the high setting (it also has low and medium) it tends to produce a slight propane odor. This is most likely due to the lower quantity of oxygen at our altitude, and therefore does not produce a complete burn. However, the medium heat setting works great and gets my 2 car garage comfortably warm in about 30 minutes.

Wow...I just got this throw and I love it. It is so soft and I have not had it over the low setting. I got this because I am very cold natured and now have a roommate from up north that thinks 60 is warm while if it is below 75 I freeze. I only wish that they had the ability to turn off the automatic shut off. Other than that, I am very happy with this purchase. The cost here is about twice what I paid at the store tho so check out other places before you buy.

I got this when it was priced at $20, the blanket is very nice for the price. the wire is a little stiff, the fabric a little "plasticky", and the cords are placed at the bottom-middle of the blanket (the opposite of where my outlet is), but it gets very warm which is what I was worried it wouldn't do. I previously purchased a $60 twin sized electric blanket that only felt warm when another blanket was on top, this blanket gets warm without any added weight (so warm my chihuahua has to move after a while). I came back to buy another one as a Christmas gift and was surprised at the price jump. Did a little researching and then drove to my local Walmart and bought one for $19.99. I would recommend this item, especially at the $20 price, but probably not at $40+

Floor to ceiling windows are only a good idea in places that get no deep winter they are like open refrigerator doors. I bought this throw so I could stand to sit in a chair through a whole movie. It's an ideal generous size,very lightweight, and the heat selections are great. High really IS high. The material has not instantly developed unsightly fuzz balls and seems cat hair does not stick to it. I should know since now my two very hairy cats have also discovered being warm is a good thing. I recommend it highly to anyone who'd like to stay warm and comfy anywhere in their house in single digit weather!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Fleece Throw Blanket

My daughter had an electric blanket which I really enjoyed using when I visited her recently. I hate being chilly and have a hard time sleeping when it's cold but my husband hates being too warm and having an electric blanket so I wanted one I could just use personally, so my daughter got me this throw last week. WOW! Perfect sized and it is warm! I don't need it higher than the LOW setting. I was surprised that there is a 3 hour auto timer shut off instead of 10 hours for a blanket but I guess that is the nature of a throw vs. blanket. Doesn't deter from the usefulness of this. I do feel the wires in this but it is not too prominent, and the fabric pattern is pretty and very soft. I think this throw is more comfortable than my daughter's blanket was!

Best Deals on Cadet Manufacturing 65101 120/240-Volt White Com Pak Electric Bath

This heater was installed in our new construction home as the primary heater for the master bathroom. The heater does put out heat, but I am unimpressed with the speed of the fan and how slowly the room heats up. Previously we had used a plug-in ceramic style heater that seemed to heat the room significantly faster. I believe that they are the same watt output, it may just be that the fan in this Cadet is low enough as to not evenly distribute the heated air. If you turn it on far enough in advance of needing it, things will work fine.

Last complaint is that there should be a way to turn off the timer clicking. While not exactly loud or distracting, a silent operation would be better.

Honest reviews on Cadet Manufacturing 65101 120/240-Volt White Com Pak Electric Bath

The only reason I purchased this unit was because it has a timer on it. I thought it would turn off the heat when the timer shuts off so that it wouldn't run continuously. It doesn't work that way. There is NO way to shut this off. The timer can temporarily override the thermostat control but it will NOT shut off the unit. So if you're looking for a timed heater, just buy a cheaper one and wire it through an external timer.

Excellent price and received quickly from Andy at atwin77383.

In a condo with central air and hot water heat. Had the old Honeywell mercury type with 4 wires.

This Hunter 44155C is about $6 bucks more in price to the Honeywell RTH221, but the Hunter has more features.

Instead of 4 daily programs for 7 days, this Hunter is 4 x 5 and 2 days.

This Hunter also has a Span control to increase or reduce cycle.

It also has a back-lite by pressing a button for checking temp in dark.

Had one issue. The a/c would come on with the heat. Verified the wiring and called customer service. The lady advised me to to change the default setting of HG to HE, since my hot water heat is controlled by an electric solenoid valve. Told her I'd change it and if I still had a problem I'd call her back. Spoke to her about one minute. After switching to HE and checking out the heat and air, everything was fine. HG is for gas heat, HE is for electric and also hot water controlled by an electric solenoid.

Excellent troubleshooting and advice from Hunter customer service.

Nice thermostat and service!

I bought this item after a friend of mine showed me his Prestige 1.0 system. This one, the Prestige 2.0 HD model, offers support for more RedLink accessories and more stages of heat/cool I believe. At any rate, it wasn't too hard to install, I had to use an extra wire to provide power to the unit from the furnace, but other than that it was relatively easy to install. Programming it is fun albeit a little confusing if you aren't familiar with HVAC jargon, as I am not.

I also bought the outdoor wireless sensor to have it show real-world outdoor conditions. All in all a very cool unit I'm enjoying very much.

I picked up two Honeywell THX9321R5030 Prestige HD 2.0 Thermostat from Plumbing Planet and had them in hand within 3 days. Both units shipped quickly despite being provided a longer deliver time and were installed by our HVAC technician during the replacement of our furnance & AC unit. These are identical to the THX9421R5013 unit except the 5030 unit can be wired or do wireless to the zone panel. We actually have one 5030 wired and the other set up wireless with no issue from either in over a month. All three thermostats are also reading the same outside temperature gauage which is conveniently displayed with your indoor and set temperatures on the home screen. A great product and quick deliver by Plumbing Planet made the purchase all that much easier given the units are not cheap.

Update 2/3/13: All three units are still working great. The wife decided to have fun with the themes (font & background colors) by setting up unique themes for each holiday/season. The only issue I've seen is the outdoor wireles sensor for temperature appears to be off by about 2-4 degrees compared to other temperature senors we have. It's not a big deal and I'm sure there is likely a 1 degree error rating either way but it's something I noticed. One other thing we noticed is that the wired unit in the master bedroom clicks when it's engaged for heating or cooling while the wireless unit makes no noise of course. Again, not a big deal but we do hear it click on/off when sleeping which is normal for any wired in theromostat.

It took two tries to get this installed right. First, the velcro was a little too sticky. When I tried to move the fan, the velcro came unstuck from the fireplace and not the hook/loop like it's supposed to. Second, I thought the temperate sensor was supposed to go on the top side of the fireplace. The first attempt yielded melting wires and loud hums from the fan.

The second attempt, I made a "bed" with insulation tape (the kind you put on door jams) and put some 2.5" wide velcro tape on the bed. This thoroughly insulated the fan from the fireplace shell. Then I took the magnet and sensor and put a screw through them so they would hold together and stuck it to the bottom of the fireplace.

Everything is working great. Other than the sound of the air moving, you can't tell the fan is on. And now the entire room warms nicely when the fireplace is on.

Does a good job and makes my otherwise useless gas fireplace useful. It puts some actual heat into the room. Instructions could have been better but it's pretty straight forward. Basically stick the blower unit to the back of the fireplace, plug it in and put the magnetic temperature switch on the top of fire pan. The unit doesn't come on as soon as it has power. It waits until the fireplace warms up and then turns on. It will also stay on for a few minutes when you turn the fireplace off to push the residual heat into the room. The noise from the fan is a little louder than I thought it would be but not too bad. There is also a fan speed control to adjust the speed (and noise) of the fan. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase and performance of the unit.

I have one in our fireplace, I installed this one in a friend's fireplace, and two other friends each have one similar to this also. They are well built units and work well. I also want to mention that the support from "fireplaceblowers" is excellent. They promptly answered questions by email and were available by phone as advertised on their website.

My installation is good but my friend's installation had an issue. These work by placing the blower below and at the back of the firebox so it blows air up the back air gap and out the top grill. The issue is my friend's fireplace has a much larger air gap (3" vs 1" in my fireplace) along the sides of the firebox which allowed a lot of the air to go down the sides to the bottom instead of out the top grill and thus recirculate into the blower. This heated up the gap under of the fireplace box which should have been cooled by incoming air. Fireplaceblowers immediately answered my phone call but, unfortuneately, did not have a ready solution. However, being able to discuss it with them helped as I devised a solution. I bought a 3x3 ft sheet of galvanized steel at Lowes, cut two 2.75 inch strips and put one strip in each air gap along the sides of fireplace to restrict the air flow along the sides. I left the 0.25 inch gap to allow side air flow if the fireplace is run without the blower. I also tested this reduced air gap to ensure I did not overheat anything but since the 3" air gap is still there, the only thing is a slight restriction of a thermally driven flow. Without an exact sketch of how I placed these sheet strips, I hope you get the idea. This worked to restrict downward side air flow, recirculating air along the sides is minimal, and good warm air is flowing out the top grill.

I bought this EXACT model in 2001, and along with steaming, blanching, roasting, etc., it clearly advertises itself as a "deep fryer" of which it does an excellent job. The manual even includes full frying instructions!

If Presto has decided to now say "don't fry in this", it is strictly a legal move. The problem is that Presto's "fry daddy" line has no temperature control, and it's preset low enough so that you can't set any frying liquid on fire. But these also have no versatility.

The multi-cooker can do so much more, because you can set the temperature from "warm" to 400 degrees. This is higher than the smoke point of some frying mediums (lard and shortening in particular) and therefore IF you don't know the smoke point of what you're using, you can get in trouble. This is probably why Presto's lawyers decided to say it's not a fryer anymore, although it clearly is. I, however, will happily continue to use my multi-cooker to make great fries, fried shrimp and chicken, donuts, etc. in addition to steaming and blanching vegetables, as well as braising. It's the most versatile appliance I own!

I gave this for a Christmas present to my wife The Cooking Fiend in 2007 and she "purely loved" it. The temperature control was the best feature. She could perfectly sear a small pot roast and braise it in the same pan. It made soup outstandingly every single week. She used it many times every week. It worked great for deep-frying bluegill too. She cleaned it occasionally in the dishwasher but usually by hand, no abrasives. Imagine our dismay when she saw the non-stick finish flaking off. She just about cried, because while some may call us flaky folks, we do not use flaky cookware. So I'm on the hunt for something more durable. What a shame!

I, too, bought this cooker at Target believing it was a fryer and was disappointed that the instructions noted it was NOT a fryer. Unable to find anything I liked better (the plastic machines seem flimsy and clunky), I took the advice of the last reviewer and tried it as a deep-fryer for tofu and eggrolls. It works! The thermostat seems reliable, and it heats up quickly enough. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe and nonstick. The only disappointments include the fry-basket, which isn't optimum for draining oil and is awkward to handle with a removable pinch-handle-but I improvised with tongs. And it would be nice to have an airtight lid to store the oil-but the glass one does just fine if you change the oil occasionally. As someone who usually avoids frying foods for health reasons, this little pot allows me to cook the few fried goods I'd normally go out for as well, or even better, than how I'd get them at a restaurant-and it makes my "it-ain't-good-unless-it's-fried" husband feel like he's got a place in the kitchen.

A huge disappointment. I wanted to heat a fairly small room (about 200 sq ft) and hoped that this product would do the trick without the help of standard baseboard heat. On a cold day, in the 20's for example, the unit raises the room temp by 1 or 2 degrees after an hour at the maximum setting. There is no way this unit could heat an area of 1000 sq ft.

Save yourself about 300 dollars and get a standard space heater like a Lasko. It will do just as good of a job as a "Comfort Furnace".

I wasn't familiar with the Maxi-Matic brand, but decided to try this toaster oven because I liked the color and design, the convection option, and the reasonable cost. We have been using it for a about a month, and have found it to be a very practical and well designed oven. It heats evenly, the interior is spacious for a toaster oven, and the front pull-out crumb tray is a really helpful accessory.

Love this oven, a little larger than expected as site did not give dimensions prior to ordering ( 10" tall, 12" deep, 19 1/2" long). Often used this often instead of regular oven. Perfect for baking casseroles for 2-4. Wonderful for heating standard size frozen pizza. Would recommend this if you have room on kitchen counter.

This oven gets a little hotter towards the back. Heats up fast. I bought it to replace a microwave, but it isn't that great for reheating or I haven't figured it out yet. I over cooked the bottoms of the first batch of biscuits I tried. I messed up and used the bottom rack. I haven't used the bottom rack since, just the top rack. I imagine the bottom rack will be great for pizza. The outside gets hot so plan for that. Also you have to pick the degree of heat you want for toast or it won't turn on. I think it's a great oven.

We had never heard of this brand before, but after reading the Amazon reviews, and my wife discovering on a consumer website that this toaster oven was rated as one of the top 10 to buy, we were sold. There is only one word to describe this ovenAWESOME! We wanted to reduce the cost of using our propane gas stove, and heating up the kitchen. Chicken breasts bake a nice golden brown on the bake setting at 350F in around 23 minutes. My wife makes homemade pitas, and used the convection setting, they puffed up nice and fast, something that was never accomplished in regular ovens. The manual advises to bake convection items at 50 degrees lower then normal, but we found that it should be 75 degrees lower. We make mini pita pizzas on a daily basis, they turn out terrific. The broiler setting works great for melting cheese on potatoes, and making tuna melts. We use the broiler pan, included, for chicken and meat. Clean up is easy, and the included handle to pull out the racks is a tremendous help. We mainly use the lower rack and bake everything on foil for easy clean up. When making toast, we advise using the bake/roast setting at 350F or the broil setting. The toast setting left a rather cold oven, and didn't seem to do well. The oven does release heat on all sides, so make sure you place it in a well-ventilated area.

We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase. The price can't be beat, and my wife enjoys cooking even more. Thank you Amazon, for offering such wonderful products at great prices! Your customer service is top notch too!

I just received my toaster oven in the mail today. Still too early to thoroughly review, but I just wanted to include some omitted information. I notice in the instruction manual, it failed to suggest a temperature to set the oven at when it was on the "toast" function, so I called the company. The temperature suggested by the CSR is 350 degrees; she stated that info was inadvertently skipped in the manual. I also like the fact that a rack/broiler pan "handle" was included with this toaster oven to pull the hot rack/broiler pan out of the oven (No burned fingers!). The interior is NOT teflon coated for the folks that are concerned with fumes, of which I am one. Thought this might be helpful to other potential buyers/owners. It's a nice looking oven; judging by the other reviews, I can't wait to use it!

Update: Love this oven. The convection feature works wonderfully, it is large enough for full meals to be baked and does not look like a giant box sitting on your counter. Very pleased with this, especially considering the price. I am a fan!
