I bought this thermostat for my den, which has electric baseboard heat. The original thermostat looked like it was 30 years old; instead of a dial with temperatures, it had one ranging from 0 to 4. Getting the room to a comfortable temperature was impossible.

This thermostat is simple to use and is VERY good at keeping the temperature steady. It is also silent. Programming it is pretty straightforward. I should mention that you cannot set completely distinct temperatures for each time of day. You basically enter a warn daytime temp and a cooler night temp. When programming, you decide which of the two temps to use during each period of the day. This limitation actually makes it simpler to program and works well for me.

The only feature that is missed is a back-light.

Pros:

Holds temperature steady

Silent operation

7-day programmable (vs 5-2)

Cons:

No Back-light

I'm impressed with the quality and the functionality of this Single Pole Thermostat. I purchased one to make sure that I wanted to replace all the thermostats in my condo with this thermostat. I have since purchased two more for other rooms in my condo.

Pros:

+ Easy Installation

+ Single Pole

+ 16.7 Amp Rating

+ No Batteries Required

+ Retains Programming throughout power lost (Time retained up to 4 hours)

+ Programmable and Manual Modes

+ Three Temperature Settings (Comfort, Economy, and Vacation)

+ Accurate Thermometer Display

+ Silent Switching (No Click!)

+ Looks sleek and modern

+ Key Pad Lock

+ Quick Cycling of Baseboard heaters helps prevent large temperature swings.

Cons:

No Back-light

Long Cycle mode should be longer (Frequent on and off for forced air units can be slightly irritating at first.)

Limitations to Programing (4 Periods limited to two temperature settings 1&3 Comfort, 2&4 Economy)

2 Amp Minimum Load Limitation

Overall: This is the best single pole programmable thermostat available on the market. I would recommend to anyone that needs a thermostat for a single pole application. Great work Aude and Honeywell for making a great product! Five Stars!

I like the thermostat. I have 2 and will buy 2 more for my older 2-line heaters. I just wish it was smaller like the Aube 115

EDIT: I have used these and the 115 for about 3 years without problems until last week. I had an 106 get melted at the connection point. The wire rating, voltage, and heater sizes were all in the safety zone. My breaker never tripped either. I have now learned about the aluminum to copper connection issue. One would think that'd be more prominent in the instruction manual and that proper connectors would be supplied. The manual says:

"Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminum conductors." My thought was that I have copper wiring so its a non-issue. I was ignorant about it, and it seemed like such a straight forward thermostat install/replacement. I hope others will learn from this and that Aube/Honeywell would draw more attention to the safety issue for the average consumer. I'm just glad the house didn't catch on fire.

I have an old 1950's 240volt 4000watt electric in-wall header--the kind with three ceramic cylinders wrapped with a coiled wire. It's a two-wire system, which means that the electricity isn't grounded and comes from two circuit breakers. Previously I used the thermostate that came on the unit, which was placed below the heating elements. I would sometimes be sweating and then freezing. I had no idea what temperature I was setting it at and if it got really cold at night or had a warm spell, the temperature was all over the place. That didn't help my electric bill at all. I've used this about 2 weeks now and it's an amazing difference. I use a ceiling fan to help distribute the temperature in the room, but I no longer have the fluctuations. I have it set to automatically analyze how quick the room heats. And often the unit doesn't even turn on at full force (which was the only option before). It gets hot enough just to push the temperature up a degree or two. Sometimes I would turn off my heater during the day to save money, but when I turned it back on at night, it would often take 3 or so hours to bring it up to a comfortable temperature since the unit would turn on and off. The thermostat keeps the unit on at full blast until the temperature is reached so the large room now only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to heat up and then it goes back to the just touches of heat from then on. I'm very glad to have this unit. The programmed day and night buttons are also great and easy. To program an new temperature, you just hold down the sun or moon and it'll store the desired temperature.

The only things I wish it had was a backlight for the screen and for the day and night program buttons to be on the front when the flap is closed. I have gotten tired of opening the flap, so I just leave it open now and hit those to buttons as a walk by as needed. But those are a small inconvenience for the comfort level I now have. Other than a manual mechanical thermostat that isn't as accurate, this was the only 4000 watt digital thermostat. But I'm very pleased with it.

Excellent programmable thermostat overall with a very nice finish.

As stated in previous reviews this has a "variable" heat level control that in a sense only uses part of the heating capabilities of the baseboard as needed. This is a huge benefit as it prevents baseboard heaters from creaking as they expand from constant on/off from the old knob heater controls. It is also nice to know how hard your heating system is working to keep your house warm.

The other nice thing we have noticed is that the thermostat shows very accurate measurement of how warm the room is. I have compared it against several other digital thermal sensors and this is spot on.

I can not say enough good things about this wonderful blanket. You preheat the bed (don't need long at all) and when you get in, it's like slipping into warm cocoa. The heat is evenly distributed, the blanket itself is beautiful and I honestly don't think it is too heavy at all... We have another blanket on the bed that's definitely heavier. I love it so much that I have the exact same blanket in throw size to keep in my home office. I don't see how anyone could be sorry they bought this blanket. I love it!!!!

The fabric is very soft and plush. Overall the blanket is a good weight--not too heavy, not too light.

I like this blanket for the timer. The blanket turns off automatically after 10 or so hours. This I really appreciate as (with my old blanket) I frequently forgot; given that I travel frequently, sometimes my blanket was on for 4 or 5 days at a time. The pre-heater---I don't understand exactly why an electric blanket needs a preheater...but it has it!

The control dial has a minimal glow to it..enough so I can see it easily at night, but not so bright where the light disturbs my sleep.

I would have preferred a different color, but for the sale price.... I prefer quality and practicality over color coordination.

I absolutely love this blanket (right now), because in the fall when there's a chilly night, you don't even have to turn it on, and its still warm. It takes about 20 minutes to heat up, and once it does its hot, wake up and your sweaty hot. The blanket turns off after 10 hours, but who ever sleeps for 10 hours? psh. The downfall of this blanket is that its very thin, and you can feel all the ribbing, no biggie though. I haven't tried to wash this blanket yet, and I've only had it for a 11 days, used it 4 times, so who knows if it will be good after a year of use.

I love this little heater! It is never warm in my building, but it puts out a lot of heat and keeps me very warm and toasty all day at work. It has an over-heat feature (automatic shut-off), which is especially good from a safety aspect, two heat settings, and an adjustable thermostat so that you can choose the level of warmth you prefer. It is also much quieter than other portable heaters I have used in the past. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

This thing is small, but heats a normal sized bedroom really well. It's not too noisy and has several different settings to adjust. It also isn't hot to the touch which is great for me since I have a toddler in the house that likes to get into everything. I would definitely recommend this to others!

I decided to review this because I saw bad reviews and I have used this heater in a travel trailer I lived in for 18 months and it works great. I was googling how to clean it when I came across this site. This heater worked great for the price and I ran it many, many hours. I would not leave a portable heater with a fan on when I am not at home, if you need to do that I suggest you get a quartz, infrared, or oil filled portable heater with no moving parts. With that said there is a switch if a pet or someone knocks it over it will shut off. I would recommend periodically blowing it out with compressed air like the cans for computers if you use it a lot. I had to disassemble to clean the dust from mine which was easy except for two plastic corners that space the heating element that I did not see how they were set before they fell out. I figured it out an it's running like new. The initial smell when you purchase it is normal for all portable heaters and will burn off. As far the 150 square foot rating that is really a guess. Outside temperature, R-value of the walls, thermal mass of the structure are all things that effect that. For it's small size it puts out quite a bit of heat but it won't heat a 30 foot trailer in 5 degree F weather. Unlike an oil filled heater it instantly starts putting out heat and it is directional. For a small inexpensive heater it has run a lot of hours with no problems.

I used this for about 3 months. The dial started not working and then smoke started coming out from the dial area. Don't leave it on while you are out.

My unit gives off a "hot plastic" smell when turned on. It doesn't bother me that much, but the wife is concerned about the possible health effects the odor might have on the kids. I have a total of about 48 hours run time on the unit, and if the smell doesn't burn-off soon, then I'll have to take the unit back.

I bought the unit for the Travel Trailer to do some winter (Holiday) camping. Electricity is included in the site rent, so why not use an electric heater instead of using my propane? The trailer is 250 sq. ft. interior. I had to go to Home Depots web site to find that the unit only heats 150 sq. ft. It'd be nice to have that info on the box before opening. The unit is only good for a 20 degree ambient rise in temperature. So if it's 35 degree out, inside will be 55 degrees. A bit cool. You can buy the taller model, but it's still only rated 1,500 watts for 150 sq. ft. Home Depot carries my unit for $22. If the smell burns off, I might another and run both.

I have had one of these heaters for four years now, and use it in my 1000 square foot workshop (concrete floor and high ceilings make this space a challenge to heat). It does put out a considerable amount of heat, though it tends to be localized as there is no fan. Nearby the unit it gets quite toasty, and will raise the temperature of my shop 15 to 20 degrees after about an hour and a half.

The secret to good performance is to use nice clean kerosene, and be sure it is not contaminated with water. It performs best on clear kerosene, but this is the most expensive fuel. I have had decent luck using red dyed kerosene (road tax exempt). I by it at a local bulk petroleum jobber and as of yesterday (April 5, 2010) I paid about 16.50, with tax, for 5 gallons in California. It burns clean, but I find I need to clean the wick a couple of times each season. I get a bit longer than 12 hours per tank, which is great. Make sure you change the batteries at the start of winter, and any time the glow of the starter seems to dim. I go through one or two sets of C batteries each season.

Cleaning the wick takes about 10 minutes there are two screws and a knob to remove, and then the top slides off reveling the base. I use a small putty scraper to flick off the carbonized portion of the wick. If you find the unit sputtering or hard to light that is an indicator that this service is needed.

I have replaced the wick once over the past four years. Do this outside, and wear rubber gloves as the kerosene has a strong odor. It is not too hard, but you do need to take care that it is aligned correctly so that it cranks all the way up for lighting, and more importantly all the way down to ensure it extinguishes the flame. It did take me two tries to get this right, and I am reasonably handy, though a more careful reading of the instructions would have helped.

Overall I am very happy with the product and am considering purchasing a second one for my shop to reduce the ramp up time. The maintenance required keeps it from being a 5 star review, but the trade off is lower operating costs when compared to electricity or especially propane.

Easy to operate and puts out a lot of heat. Wife and I both enjoy using it. The safety grill makes it safe for our preschool aged children.

We initially purchased this for back-up heat. However, our home has 11-foot ceilings and just one 1500 watt wall heater per room. So, we're using this heater regularly to get things initially warmed up in the morning. We run it on cold mornings for about an hour or two and it warms the whole downstairs.

Lighting this heater inside is fine, but some people may want to shut it off outside as there is a bit of smell on shutdown. If the batteries are low on the starter, you can also light it with a match.

Kerosene fuel is a bit expensive, but the heat value is quite high per gallon. You can cut the cost by buying in larger quantities -55 gallon drum drops the cost to about $5 a gallon...which puts heater operation cost at just under $1 an hour for fuel. 1.9 gallon tank burns 10-12 hours Otherwise, buying in 5 gallon containers from the hardware store puts the price at $9/gallon...but that's still enough to get through an electrical outage.

Stove oil (red dyed kerosene) is also fine (says this in the instructions that come with the heater), but will gum up the wick a little faster. However, stove oil is under $3.50 a gallon right now...so the price is right.

**Update:

Heater working great. I replaced the factory installed wick about a month ago, and the new wick is working even better. The first wick became clogged over time with the red dye from the 55 gallon drum of kerosene. However, it was cheaper overall even with the wick change to go for the drum. I add a couple teaspoons of denatured alcohol to each fill, and another teaspoon during the dry-burn -this helps a lot to keep the wick in good condition and to burn off any water that collects in the heater's sump. Denatured alcohol can be purchased locally in the painting section of your local hardware store.

I recently had the drum refilled with #1 stove oil from the local heating oil supplier -at $3.89/gallon. Stove oil #1 is the same as red dyed kerosene and works great (do not use #2 stove oil). The supplier has a minimum of 100 gal order, but I chatted with the manager and arranged for a fill that matched up with another delivery at no extra charge. Earlier in the season, I purchased a 5-gallon can of K-1 clear kerosene. I refill that can from the drum, then fill the heater with it. A good hand-pump to pull from the drum: Fill-Rite SD62 Hand Pump Rotary 2-Vane Curved Spout

The heater will burn 11 hours continuously, and heats the entire house all day. Granted, that's about $7.80 for a day of heating, which is more expensive than electric. However, our family loves the quality of heat it puts out.

We live in a 3rd story condo, and are planning a New Years party. We just redesigned our patio built benches, made cushions, and I wanted the patio to be comfortable to sit on while outside. Our patio is open to the east, and also open in the nook to the north. So I needed something that was going to produce enough heat to keep the patio warm. We tried two other heaters (electric) before buying this one. They were horrible!

I bought mine at home depot, and they have the fuel there. I think I have a different model (DuraHeat Convection Kerosene Heater Model DH2304), but it is the same amount of BTU's and the the same design, just looks a little different. This heater is amazing...we filled up half the tank, and have used it the last few nights to test it out. It heats up the whole area and keeps the heat coming! I plan on putting a sheet up in the nook using an expandable rod, (don't worry the sheet won't hang near the heater) I just want to try to block some of the cold air from coming in! A lot of heat comes out of the top, so I am hoping it will keep more of the heat in the patio area!

If you are looking for a great patio heater, this is the one to buy! Especially if you live in a condo! I am pretty sure we are not allowed to have propane, plus who wants a 20lb propane tank hanging around! This heater is ok'd for indoor, and if we ever loose our heat, we won't be cold! As long as we have kerosene!

There are instructions for the care of this heater, and I suggest you read them. There is important information about dry burning and cleaning the wick etc. They stress the importance of these things to keep your heater working properly! I am new to this (Giant Lantern) but the instructions are very detailed and easy to understand! Good luck!

Kerosene use is always a slightly sloppy experience. This unit and the included pump minimize it. I used it to help heat my house after Super storm Sandy. It lasted around 9 to 10 hours with my flame height settings. It was a real lifesaver for us. Thank goodness we have a gas station nearby with bulk Kerosene. The bulk kerosene burned cleanly and odor free in this unit.

This item really surprised me, it heated up the house, better than using propane where I live, as long as you make sure you get the right fuel, it tells you what to buy, the odorless K1. I was actualy warm this past winter when it snowed, and felt real heat:) Great heater. If your house is larger than 2000 sq ft, you might want to get one for each floor depending on how the heat rises and spreads out. Very happy with this purchase. Just be sure to use caution, and follow the directions as with most heaters. I put this on a brick area in the living room, it heated that room, and the heat rose up stairs just fine. My house is 1900 sq ft, so it was perfect.

We ordered this fireplace on April 28th. They sent us the wrong one, and it took until June to get it fixed. I'm on the phone with them right now, July 6th, to FINALLY get a refund!! Every phone call they said they couldn't talk to the person they needed to, could they call me back in an hour--a day at the latest. Not one time did anyone ever call us back. Terrible, terrible company!!

The fireplace itself was pretty, but arrived slightly damaged as well as being the gel fuel version instead of the electric we requested. Also, many of the holes did NOT line up (some were not even close!!) with the matching hardware. It was a nightmare to put together and even worse to take apart and repack.

Honest reviews on Sicilian Harvest Black Electric Fireplace

When it comes to reviews, I am very critical. So, when you see a review by me that is 5 stars, you know that it was a surprise to me just how good the product was.

1. Finish. The look of the finished wood is really good. about 90% of the wood is just high density pressboard with a wood veneer. The wood veneer is nothing short of beautiful. However, you should know that the stain isn't mahogany like it shows in the photo. Its a cherry finish. For me, I have cherry, mahogany and dark oak throughout my house, so as long as it was dark it was fine. But some people might object to that. Because the stain didn't match the photo or the description, 4 of 5.

2. Assembly. It was easy to assemble. All you need is a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Everything else is provided. It will take about 90 minutes to put together. The manufacturer uses cam screws and wood dowels to hold it together. The wood dowels are incorrectly sized and therefore useless. However, the cam screws are quite good and it makes the wood dowels unnecessary. Because the wood dowels were incorrectly sized, I will give 4 of 5 stars.

3. Fireplace. It works for up to three gel fuel canisters. The log piece is heavy and quite durable although slightly unstable in the fireplace. If you buy this unit, when you assemble it, make sure you install the metal fireplace unit from the rear instead of from the front. The instructions were not clear on this, and you could damage the finish if you install it from the front. 5 of 5.

3. Instructions. Because the instructions weren't perfectly clear on the assembly of the fireplace unit, 4 of 5 stars.

4. Value. I was able to get this for $295, this makes the unit an excellent value and is priced at over $450 from other websites. 5 of 5 stars.

Reviews of Biddeford 100% Poly Knit MicroPlush Heated Blanket

Customer Ratings:

Compared to my previous two Sunbeam blankets that were rather scratchy, this blanket is super soft. But more importantly, this blanket is warmer than the last Sunbeam ever was. Both Sunbeams quit heating on one or both sides within about three years. Hopefully, this blanket will last longer than they did. The only problem with this blanket is that it is so soft that little dogs that love blankets will want to nest on it and can easily snag it. Of course, the instructions say to keep pets off of it. My dog does not read.

Update Dec. 22, 2011 I carefully folded and stored the blanket while it was not needed during warm/hot weather. This fall I got it back out and it is still working perfectly! My dog is so happy!

I bought this blanket as a clearance item for a really good deal. Overall, it worked really well last winter but it didn't last through this winter. Either the plug is broken or the blanket is broken.

Can't leave it on very high with the down comforter because it gets so hot it will run me out of bed.

We are very impressed with the quality and beauty of this product. Equally impressive is the company, Southern Enterprises. When we received our fireplace, the box was quite battered and we feared what we would find inside. Surprisingly, only one piece was damaged, but of course it was the stone panel and the damage was not able to be hidden. Disapppointed, I called the 800 number for Southern Enterprises, anticipating the hassle of having to repackage the entire fireplace, shipping it back and awaiting a new one. The woman I spoke with was delightful, friendly and helpful. Without hesitation, she offered to send a replacement part immediately. No questions asked. No request to return the damaged piece. She verified my address and the part number and within a couple of days, the new part arrived, intact. It is a pleasure to see that there are still some companies out there who will stand behind their product and put customer satisfaction first. We will definitely consider this company for our future home furnishing needs.

I give this 4 stars because I like the appearance of the fireplace and the heater works well. The wood finish is very nice, and the faux stone looks good. One caveat, my TV universal remote will also turn on the heating unit. It took me awhile to figure that one out. As long as I am careful where I aim the remote, i have no problem. The assembly instructions could have been made easier. The Chinese translated English left a little to be desired. Fortunately I have assembled cam-lock type fasteners before.

The best part about this fireplace is that it looks exactly like the picture. No surprises. It looks great in the photo, and in person. The LED lights used to simulate flames looks as good or better then any other electric fireplace I've seen. The heater works well, and it comes with a remote so that you don't have to get up to adjust the flame, the log glow, or the heat. As far as assembly goes, it's not bad. If you've put together department store furniture, then this is easy. If you haven't, it's a good piece to get started with. It's best to have a second set of hands to help steady things, or to move stuff around before it's all together, but you can do it yourself. I assembled it by myself, taking my time and it took an hour, maybe a few minutes less. It looks and works great, and it's sturdy. Very happy with it.

This is a gorgeous piece of furniture and throws great heat. My son tells me that putting it together was a breeze too. It was a perfect size for the area we had.
