Great looking, and love the LED light inside, when the door is open. A little noisy when it's running, but I had read that before I bought it. Makes ice great and faster that I thought it would.

Only complaint is that the larger side where it holds beverage cans, temperature will not go below 45 degrees. I'm going to have a tech come out to see about the thermostat (under warranty). Also, 4 year warranty only available in Canada.

We are pleasantly surprised by the cooling power of this AC. It works great on the hottest New York afternoons and cools down our living room and kitchen area (a bit less than 600 sq ft) very quickly.

This AC works great even while using the oven in the attached kitchen area. It is not too noisy definitely quieter than the lower capacity AC we have in our bedroom which we have to run constantly at the high setting to get good cooling.

This AC runs on the standard 110 volt wall outlet.

I have a vault or cathedral ceiling for my large living room attached to a kitchen and the temperature in the room could rise up to the high upper ninety. The living room would get hotter than the outside of the house since I have no roof ventilation so the heat would build up during the day and the ceiling fan would just blow down hot air.

I have several 8000 BTU window AC units for each bedrooms but I'm going to need a larger BTU for my living room so I decided to go with 15,000 BTU. My neighborhood's large chain stores were all sold out of air conditions so I thought I would give Amazon a shot on something this big and heavy and since I'm a prime member, why not? Having it deliver right to my doorstep, it doesn't get any better than this.

I've never heard of SPT brand before but from reading the few reviews I decided to give it a try and go with my gut instinct. Two days later, the unit came and I noticed box was in a pretty bad shape. I unboxed it anyway to find that the frontal frame and the casing were a bit off and not flushing. With the weather being so hot, I decided that it was just cosmetic damaged and decided to put it up anyway. I went ahead a built a frame for my side sliding window and installed the unit. I'm a big guy so I was able to lift the unit into its casing myself but I would highly recommend 2 people for this. I put the 4 screws back into the frontal frame and plugged in the 110 outlet. I then turned on the power and it started to vibrate vigorously and I can hear a loud cranking from the fan. I had to turn off the unit right away and thought to myself as to why did I purchased this. I had to undo everything and pulled the unit back down to see what caused the loud cranking noise. I found out that a piece of the fan broke off during shipping causing the fan to spin unbalanced. I was very disappointed and upset. I packed everything back into the box and went straight to the Amazon website to click on the return item. Amazon made it so easy to return the unit and I decided to get a replacement instead of refunds since it wasn't SPT's fault for what happened to the unit. They shipped out the replacement right away and sent a shipping company to pick up the damaged unit from my house the next day.

A few days later, the new unit came and the shipment was in good shape. I decided to plugged the unit and tested it before installing this time and it powered up and ran like a charm. It's now up on my living room window and surprisingly runs very quiet. Quieter than the small units in the bedrooms. I put up a curtain to block the cool air escaping into my hall way and the living room and kitchen are now very comfortable to relax in again.

Pros: Very quiet, regular household 110 outlet, fast cooling, nice frame and metal grill in the back, looks well built and sturdy, cool up the room fast, very easy to install.

Cons: Unit packaging could be better, not a lot of differences between low and high fan.

Have had the unit installed for a few months now and am very disappointed with the overall performance. The unit it replaced did a much better job of cooling. The front is a lot of trouble to remove and there are no controls on the remote to adjust the temperature up or down. Will not buy this brand again.

Honest reviews on SPT 15,000 BTU Window AC with Energy Star

I mounted this in the wall. Although it would have easily worked in a window that was big enough,it was easy to mounting a wall. Mounting is easy and all the parts including supports for outside are included. You don't need to buy anything else other than trim strips and weather strips for around the unit.

This thing is awesome for a giant 110v unit. It is very very cold and the fan in pretty awesome. It is far more quiet than my 8k btu window model in my bedroom. The controls are far more than I need but nice to actually have the control. The remote works very well and the unit responds that it has received the command. The timer is great for having the thing on until the temp outside drops. Just saves a lazy button push.

Overall this is an awesome unit. It does make a lot of noise outside and pings, clangs, and clinks under ormaloperation just like the manual states quite clearly. So normal and I don't care.

Cooling is truly awesome. This old paper wall Ouse gets half a day of direct sunlight all afternoon. The heat increase was horrible. The 10k portable that I had could ot keep up and temps in the room were approaching 85 degrees on a mid 90s day. So sitting in front of the portable was the only choice. This unit keeps the room and kitchen down to the mid to lower 70s on an upper 90s day. Pretty good considering the western wall is warm.

I am very very happy. Awesome unit although very big and very heavy. Thi mounting is simplifies by having an exterior shell that is fully mounted and it quite manageable and light. Then the unit is slid into the shell and retained. The last step is still a two person job unless you are hulk or just dumb enough to pretend.

I had an SPT 11,000 portable A/C that was not able to cool past my bedroom in my new apartment, but this window A/C does the trick. It was a bit of a beast to install because I'm not so handy, but I still was able to do it. I love that I ordered it around 5am on a Friday and paid $8.99 for Saturday shipping, and FedEx delivered it at 9:30am the next day. I may have gotten the Frigidaire 15000 BTU model but it wouldn't have gotten here so fast and this last week was HOT, but I don't regret paying a little bit more for the SPT since I had good luck with the portable unit that I was able to easily sell on Craiglist for almost as much as this one cost me.

Discount Holmes HFH131-TG Compact Heater Fan w/ Manual Controls

Customer Ratings:

This fan-forced heater is nothing spectacular, nor is it bad. While it has only one heat setting, it still can crank out its share of heat. It also has a thermostat to control comfort levels as well as save on electricity. I've purchased different fan-forced heaters in the past, and must say that this one has the most output for the price. This unit is 1,200 watts, so there's plenty of power to heat a small room. Still, the low price is probably this heater's most attractive feature. For that, it gets my endorsement.

This has been a great purchase for our kitchen counter top. This is the perfect item for rainy days when you don't want to grill outside. I have had no issues with this product so far and it cooks staek and chicken perfectly the way my girlfriend and I like it. The grill surface isn't very big but it's great for two people. Fantastic for grilling veggies too!

I wanted to save a buck by buying a less expensive grill but was worried the quality or grilling power wouldnt be as good. Turns out it works great! I've already used it 4 times and so far so good. Nice grill marks and the temperature appears to get very hot just like a regular grill. Very nice to use when the weather is bad or you just dont feel like messing with the big gas grill.

I do reccommend using this on top of the stove with the vents on high as this will absorb the small amount of smoke that grilling causes. The house is less stinky that way and you also have free counter space. Just a thought.

This is the second Maxi Magic grill I've bought. It does a great job. It's inexpensive, smokeless and easy to clean up. What more could you ask for. The other one was exactly the same. I had an accident with the first one (wasn't paying attention and the element got put in the dishwasher) and needed to replace it because there's no substitute for this little grill... unless you want to buy a new stove top with a built in grill for much more money.

I like this a lot. Pretty easy to clean too. Heats ups well. Good for steaks, lamp chops, chicken. About the same time as I used to do on an outside grill. Nice big drip pan too on the bottom (that washes off very easily). Recommended.

I got one of these as a present and have been very satisfied. Sandwiched between just one layer of sheets and a thin bedspread, this blanket puts out enough heat to keep me toasty even when my room gets down to 50 degrees! Setting it to just level 2 out of 10 about 20 minutes before bed is all I need to stay warm. I got curious as to the energy usage of this blanket and plugged it into a Kill-A-Watt electric meter. The blanket draws .5 watts when plugged in and off, and around 150 watts with both sides on. It appears to cycle between drawing power and not, probably drawing power more often at higher heat settings and less at lower settings. I left mine on at level 2 overnight and it drew .2 kWh overnight. Electricity where I am is $0.15/kWh (a bit high for the rest of the US) meaning that it'll cost me about 3 pennies a night or less than $10 a year to stay warm and cut my nightly gas bill to $0! Great investment, easily pays for itself in a year in a chilly area.

I bought this for my Mom to replace her old blanket. She says it works great. It is a lot warmer than her old blanket, so much so it is now her only blanket and she keeps it on low. Her old blanket took forever to warm up and she had to keep it near high to be warm enough.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Royal Nights Heated Blanket, Queen, Navy

i love it, except for the color. they all seem to be crappy colors. didnt have light blue and i needed one and this was the only color in queen, i suppose it is supposed to be dark blue, but it is WAY darker than the picture. but it works great, so i could care less about the color, i give it five stars for functionality. i usually keep previous ones on 4 and lower, this was no exception, mississippi, not too cold, even when cold. lol. love the silk lining at top. blanket is comfortable even when not turned on. only had it on the one setting last night, i am loving it. i dont like the controllers. two seperate on off buttons, why not a rocker switch. also, the knobs are huge with divits cut around it, it turns way too easy with no clicks to tell when you get to the next setting. it does have a backlit led on controllers which arent too bad. i still rate it a five because it performs excellently.

I just moved from Houston to San Francisco during December. I was waking up cold at night in the new climate. I ordered this electric blanket and the first night under it was a dream. It has a very nice even heat distribution, and it's light and breathes well. I put it above the top sheet and covered it with another light fleece blanket and light comforter. It kept me nice and warm without ever feeling hot. I love using it to prewarm the bed before turning in for the night. I usually set it to med-hi to warm the bed, then turn it down to about 3-4 when I climb in it. The dual zones are great. I like medium warm and my partner likes really warm. It has a nice satin border at the top that is very comfortable to the touch. The plugin at the bottom is sturdy, and easy to connect, and a little built-in clip keeps it from detaching accidentally. The cord to the dual control units is long enough to allow sufficient length to comfortably set them on the bedside tables. A lighted LCD panel allows you to easily see what setting you're on if you wake and need to adjust the heat up or down. The automatic shut off is 11 hours; allowing for a convenient period of time to prewarm the bed, a full night's sleep, and then shuts off shortly afterward without leaving you laying in a cold bed.

I love this blanket and highly recommend it.

Hot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

Nice item for the price. The only downside I can find is that the heating element is either on or off. There is no ramping up or ramping down temp. What that means is that the temperature will over shoot the setpoint by about twenty degrees C when heating batches of 100-200mL. Also if you don't want to put the thermistor in your solution but just want a little heat, it can't be done without constant monitoring. This thing gets hot!!!!!!

It works for the purpose I wanted it for. It arrived in perfect condition. Was easy to assemble.

Everything did what it was supposed to do.

The digital display makes setting the temp easy.

My only negative comment is that the temperature seems to go a bit higher than I would expect when warming up.

To be fair, I am dumping freezing cold material into a beaker of water and the material takes a little time to boil off. This may be why it jumps high. I'm not sure, but it works great for my use. I would recommend this product for home/hobby use.
