My 86 year old dad bought one, he said it would be good when the grandkids. A great product, love that the basket not only comes out but can rest on the side. Each kid was able to have their favorite for dinner, corn dogs, tater tots, chicken nuggets. Breakfast became very easy with french toast sticks. Made well and easy to use.

Honeywell YTHX9321R5079 Prestige® 2.0 HD Comfort System Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Love this thermostat.

I have it coupled to Honeywell's Red-Link Gateway (also available on Amazon) which plugs into my interent router. This allows me to adjust the thermostat from my smart phone! Who cares?

Well, I work in a sometimes-chilly office above my garage. I used to have a thermostat set on a timer but it never quite fit my erratic schedule -it would turn on when I had to be at a meeting; it would turn off when I wanted to do some early-morning work. (OK, clearly the problem was with ME, not the old thermostat, but you get the idea).

Now whenever I'm ready to work I can go on my smartphone, say, when I wake up, and by the time I've brushed my teeth and gotten dressed, my work space is already at the right temperature. Yahoo!

Tech support on the phone is good. Gave this four stars instead of five for a minor reason -if you have simple tech questions the Honeywell folks are happy to help. But any question beyond the basics and Honeywell insists that they will only talk to a licensed installer. For all you licensed installers out there I certainly respect your talent and expertise, but the crankier part of me is thinking, "I paid for this thing why can't I ask a question?" For example, to perform certain functions you need a passcode, which is hidden on the unit. (Sorry; if I remembered where it is I would tell you!) My friend is a licensed electrician and so was able to speak their language but I still find it a bit annoying. Of course I think that if you just said, "I'm Joe of Joe's Electrical Service" you'd be fine, still...

This items is sold by Planet Plumbing through Amazon and the Planet Plumbing service was superb. (I ordered the wrong item -entirely my fault -and they did a fantastic job of getting the right one to me fast.)

Honeywell Prestige 2.0 HD is very powerful and easy to install / use / customize. It is capable of controlling commercial HVAC installations, which is also a hint that it is overkill for most simple home installations. Installation instructions are geared toward professional installers (so you need to have a good idea of what you're doing).

The main unit is removable, snapping into a wall mounted frame. The electrical connection between the unit and the wall frame is made by two rows of connector pins. If the unit is not properly aligned when you're inserting it the pins can (will) bend. This is not a good connection method (says one that bent 2 pins). (That's why I've deducted one star).

Love the thermostat and the ability to use my smartphone or tablet to control it from anywhere.

Do NOT love that the gateway required to be able to use the wifi features of the thermostat is not included and not clearly noted that it is required and will cost you another almost $100. Ended up buying the gateway because the wifi and remote access was the entire reason that I bought this thermostat, just disappointed that it wasn't included or clearly marked that it was going to cost even more.

Review of Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Customer Ratings:

This heater blew a fuse twice in my office, causing my coworkers' computers to shut down and lose unsaved information. The darn thing comes on for 2 seconds every 5 minutes so I'm constantly cold. I would recommend one where you can change the fan setting to go at all times on low without the thermostat stepping in and ruining a good warmth. Also, doesn't turn off unless you unplug it so I have to crawl under my desk everytime I leave the office. No fun. Want to return but it's too much of a hassle.

While this little heater creates heat it isnt what I wanted at all. First of all I realized that it has no safety features. If it tips over unto the rug, it just keeps going! A real fire hazard. Also also the front heat control knob says "off" you cant really turn it off without pulling the plug out of the wall, rather inconvenient. And as one of the reviewers mentioned its a real drain on a circuit, throwing the circuit breaker in the first day of use. Last year I bought a Pelonis for less and it was far better.

Best Deals on Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Wow, what a fine example of terrible engineering. The only control is a knob that ranges from OFF to SUPER. To set the thermostat, you turn the knob to the SUPER setting. When the room reaches a comfortable level, you slowly turn the thermostat down until the heater goes off. This is the point at which the thermostat setting equals the room temp. At this setting, the thermostat will automatically turn on and off to maintain the selected temp.

This design sets the stage for a frustrating user experience:

By design, you must turn the thermostat to the highest setting, then WAIT FOR THE ROOM TO HEAT UP before fiddling with the knob until the unit clicks off, at which point you end up turning it up a bit until it clicks on (if it does). Its like trying to adjust your home's thermostat in the dark...just show me where to set the dial for 68 degrees and let me get on with my day.

when the heater is working as designed, it turns on for 30-60 seconds, turns off for 10-90 seconds, then repeats the cycle relentlessly and unpredictably until you unplug it, let it cool, box it back up, and send it back.

I want a refund, reimbursement for lost productivity, and an ice cream sandwich.

Honest reviews on Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

This is a great heater for small to medium sized rooms. I've owned two of them for a number of years, and they work great. I just bought one as a gift, due to this cold winter we are having. I think the other reviews are not fair to this product, and what it was designed for. You cannot go wrong with this heater, and at such a great price.

Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Greetings to whom it may concern. I purchased two of these HZ-315 ceramic heaters on January 28, 2009. Both vibrated across a smooth hard floor surface, very unsafe behavior for an electrical heating appliance. It was too costly to ship back even though they said they'd waive the return fee at customer service. Heater #1 failed on March 20th, didn't even last 2 months. I would advise to steer clear of this model, it's not the quality product you'd expect from a company like Honeywell and doesn't appear to be built to last either. The company I bought it from was very professional and timely, I did not contact them for a replacement. I wouldn't have wanted it anyway.

Buy SpeedHeat Rugbuddy 370 Under Rug Space Heater, 5' X 7'

Customer Ratings:

I bought one of these early in the year & it has been a blessing in my old, drafty, under-insulated house. I don't need to crank up the expensive gas heating, but I stay nice & warm in my family room now. I am saving up to buy 2 more in smaller sizes for other rooms. The increase in my electric bill has been slight, but the decrease in my gas bill has been noticeable!

Plus my older cat loves it too! She just lays right down & goes to sleep!

We bought our first rug buddy (5x7) for our baby's nursery and love it! It keeps his room warm (with a programmable outlet thermostat we also ordered) while we can keep our bedroom and the rest of the house cool. We loved it so much we bought a second one for our drafty living room. Guests always comment on how great it feels!

GQF Wafer Thermostat Assembly for Incubator 22 Amp Review

Customer Ratings:

I made a homemade brooder box to keep baby chickens in, and this works great as a thermostat. I use this to turn 4, 60 watt light bulbs on and off automatically to keep the babies warm. I hook this in series with the light bulb sockets which are hooked in parallel. I have one 20 watt bulb hooked up alone that stays on all the time to give light when the other four bulbs are turned off by the thermostat. It works great. I have raised many chickens using this.

Integrated the wafer into a heated food dehydrator to make an egg incubator and it works great. Maintains a delta of 2 degrees (temperature range) which is far better then any thermostats I tried previously.

I have been using this thermostat for a few weeks and it connects to my network and controls my HVAC well most of the time. The problem is that the battery backup does not work in some of these units. I have now tried four different batteries and have had a new version of the thermostat shipped to me from Amazon. Same problem. The biggest problem with this is that the unit will not function after a power outage until the date & time are reset. This means that if your power goes out while you area way from home, there is no way to turn the hvac system on without getting home to reset the data/time. To make matters worse, Honeywell refuses to provide an technical support, stating that this is not a consumer product and must be installed by a licensed technician. This is really frustrating.

I purchased 3 of these and they work great. I replaced Honeywell touch screen thermostats that looked and operate nearly identical to theses so the operation was something I was familiar with. Linking them up to MiCasa z Wave was simple. I did a full power link to the z wave network and never had to move the MiCasa controller to the thermostats.

I can now look up and control current temperatures for each of the three thermostats from my IPhone, computer and I pad very conveniently.

One thing worthy of knowing... the units have 7 days programing with 4 different setting per day. The 4 daily time settings (time slots) and the temperatures per slot are all adjustable. You can also put the thermostat on permanent hold.

The previous thermostats had provisions where you could hold a temperature for a specified number of days, then it would revert back to its normal cycle. I would use this if I was going to be away from the property for say a week or two and wanted it to return to my desired temperature for my return. My arrival didn't always perfectly coincide but it was close and worked ok. These new thermostats only have permanent holds. No holds for a specified number of days. But now it doesn't matter because I can control it remotely. When the thermostat is NOT in permanent hold, your remote changes last only until the next time slot. If the thermostat is on permanent hold, the remote changes the temperature and keeps it there. It doesn't not get automatically altered by the next time slot setting. This works fine, you just need to know how it works as the book doesn't not adequately describe this.

All in all, a wonderful unit.

Best Deals on Honeywell YTH8320ZW1007/U Z-Wave Enabled Programmable Thermostat

Written Sept 2011

I just replaced my two Honeywell Thermostats with the Honeywell TH8320ZW1007/U Z-Wave Enabled Programmable Thermostat . The old thermostat, a Honeywell TH8321U1006 VisionPRO Universal, had a "more" display that showed humidity and days left to change the filter. The Z-Wave version doesn't have the "more" display. Otherwise they are quite similar. The Z-Wave thermostat base is slightly larger than the older Honeywell unit, so I did have to move the wires from the old base to the new base. The units paired just fine with a Vera 2 controller and I'm accessing the thermostats from my iPhone using iVera. The iPhone display doesn't show the fan status even though I run both HVAC systems with the fans ON all the time.

In my setup I have a Trane 2-stage gas furnace/air conditioner on the bottom 2 floors and a Trane heat pump/emergency electrical heat on the top 2 floors of a townhouse. Installation and programming took about half an hour for each thermostat. Pairing went fast once I figured out the flashing light sequence in the Vera 2 to determine when to tell the thermostat to pair.

******

Update Oct 20, 2012

I've only had this setup 2 days now, but it is really nice to be able to monitor and control the furnace from the iPhone from anywhere. I'm anxious to add more z-wave devices to the house. These thermostats were my first two z-wave devices. I did download a plug-in that allows the Vera 2 to capture data from a TED 5000 gateway via the IP network in the house. So the integration of the thermostats with the power monitoring device worked well.

These thermostats are wonderful and if you are used to the non-Z-wave Honeywell Thermostats you will really like the Z-Wave version.

I've been running this thermostat for over a year now. It has worked extremely well. The only hassle that has occurred is that the thermostat lost "connectivity" 2 times during the year. Once after a long power outage and another time when I added other z-wave devices. To get the thermostats to "communicate" I had to unplug the thermostat from the base and then plug it back to the base. For some reason the date and time then have to be manually reset. The remaining programming stays. So I still feel this is a really good thermostat, but I've dropped the rating from 5 to 4 stars because the thermostat doesn't attempt to reestablish connectivity without a power cycle and it doesn't keep the date and time with a power cycle.

Honest reviews on Honeywell YTH8320ZW1007/U Z-Wave Enabled Programmable Thermostat

Purchased this thermostat through Amazon last month and my HVAC contractor installed it a couple days ago. So far it seems to function as described except that the LCD screen is defective in one corner (which does not seem to affect functionality). I contacted Honeywell support to have the thermostat exchanged since the Amazon 30 day return period expired. They stated this thermostat is NOT for sale to the end user and they will only honor the warranty if purchased through an authorized HVAC professional. The following is the support email I sent and the reply from Honeywell:

Questions/Comments:

I purchased this thermostat through Amazon on June 12 and my contractor installed it yesterday, July 26. It has a defective LCD screen in the lower right hand corner and I would like to exchange the device for a new unit. I cannot go through Amazon because they have a 30 day return policy. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Thank you for contacting Honeywell.

The YTH8320ZW1007 thermostat is designed to be installed by a professional and available through contractors only. We recommend you speaking to a licensed HVAC contractor for replacement. Honeywell does not sell these (professionally installed) products directly to a homeowner, we also recommend you to check with Amazon.

Honeywell Customer Care

My thermostat was professionally installed but I made the mistake of buying this product myself online. Honeywell will be useless for support if you purchase this unit through Amazon. In the future, I will steer clear of Honeywell products due to their poor service.

UPDATE: After talking with Amazon customer service they have agreed to exchange the product with a new unit. Amazon customer service is excellent.

Its great to see Z-Wave thermostats go mainstream and offer great features. When I was considering upgrading my existing Z-Wave thermostat, I considered several other "new" thermostats, such as the Nest Learning Thermostat T100577, but I had invested so much in my Z-Wave network I really wanted to stick to that type.

This Honeywell thermostat replaced an older Z-Wave Thermostat I bought several years ago, the Wayne-Dalton WDTC-20 HomeSettings Controls Thermostat. Both units cost about the same money, but the amount of progress made in 3 years is astounding.

Like the Wayne-Dalton Thermostat, I chose to have this Honeywell one installed professionally. Unlike the Wayne-Dalton one, which was almost impossible to install (you can read the reviews to see why), my heating/cooling folks put this on in about 15 minutes.

This what I love about the Honeywell:

Touchscreen! Nothing, of course, like an iPhone or iPad touch screen, but completely responsive and solid feeling.

Large screen so easy to read (I chose to keep the backlight on continuously (no timing out)

Filter reminder, with many options (days running, calendar days, etc).

Adaptive intelligent recovery

Ability to have fan run all the day, only when unit is cooling/heating, or at a set interval

And of course, the Z-Wave function. I'm using 5 year old software Leviton CCTEP-20W ControlThink ThinkEssentials 2.1 Professional with ThinkStick but I'm still able to set "normal" and "energy-saving" features for both heating and cooling. The Honeywell is immediately responsive to Z wave commands (the Wayne-Dalton took a few minutes go think about it...)

The one negative is that there are many options, but none of them are available through intuitive menus on the screen. Instead you have to put in specific codes provided by the instruction manual. Clearly, the idea here is to have your installer do the programming for you, but as a gadget freak, I wanted to do all the programming. Once you figure out how to do one, you can do them all. Just don't lose the instruction manual!

In sum, the Honeywell has everything I want, both in terms of a good Thermostat and in terms of a Z-Wave device.

It works like a charm. Our refrigerator is an older model, so when we replaced the thermostat we had to adjust the cold setting to a warmer temp as our water kept freezing. But after several adjustments, it seems to be doing well now. Good product for the money.
