Buy Optimus H-1380 Portable 3-Speed Oscillating Fan Heater

Customer Ratings:

I was excited about this fan because of the oscillating factor and the 3 speeds. Most only have two speeds. I like "instant" heat. If I'm cold, I want to get warm fast. Sitting directly in front of this fan I didn't feel that I was getting warm. It produces heat, just not where I wanted it. I felt like the warm air came out like a cone, only on the outside of the cone, not the center. If I stood two feet away from it, I couldn't feel the air/heat on me. It's just not what I wanted.

This is a great little heater. When I first received it, I thought that it probably wouldn't do a real good job, but we have a rather large bedroom, and it heats it up wonderfully.

Honest reviews on Optimus H-1380 Portable 3-Speed Oscillating Fan Heater

Chose due to price. First one received stopped working the same week.(not oscillating or turning on) returned and replaced with same one. Second went bad the following week after received.(overheated and fan stopped spinning) even after unplugging and letting it cool off,item instructions states that if this happens normal operation will resume in a few minutes..did not happen.Returned for a refund. This product is not a high quality product and is made in china. Ive learned my lesson,spend more on a better quality product. You will get your moneys worth.

I must say that it is a good heater but not a good fan. The speed of the fan is not fast enough to blove air. Other than that it is good to buy.

Reviews of Cadet by Honeywell TH110 Double Pole Electronic Programmable. 240V

Customer Ratings:

The design of this product caught my attention, plus it would work with my existing wall and baseboard heaters. Its shortcomings are that it only has two programmable temperature zones and, particularly deficient, is the much too broad range of temperature control. For instance, if you set it at 70F, the actual temperature could range from 67F to 73F -too broad a range for my comfort and expectation.

Do not buy this item. Igloo refrigerators are made by curtis intl. No one, NO ONE makes parts for it. And they break fast. Mine is about 1 year old. A $12 part broke. I have to throw it out because I can't get the part. Call curtis and you'll speak with someone in Bangladesh who will make you repeat your name 40 times, repeat your phone number another 30 times and then tell you "we don't have that part, no, no one makes that part, no we can't tell you what to do."

after reading other reviews, I was hessitant to buy this. Sure glad I did. It works great, is fairly quiet, and meets all expectations for a frig. It maintains the refrigerator compartment at 33 degrees while being set just below the middle of the thermostat.

My only complaint are 2 very small dents in the stainless door. This cosmetic flaw was too small to complain about, but did not happen in shipping the frig was packed with the small dents.

Even so, it is still pleasant looking.

Overall, very good product. What a great surprise!

UPDATE JULY 2011 constant use for 2 1/2 years. works great. no problems. Just be sure you read the manual and follow instructions about leaving enough air space around the coils to provide adequate ventillation.

I know anyone with a frig this good will be pleased.

I got this to supplement the window unit I've been using for years and ended up just completely replacing the window unit.

Very robotic design, it stands around 3ft tall and is in fact rather slim once you take it out of the packaging. Came with all the necessary accessories to get it running immediately. Hooking it up and putting the hot air vent where my window A/C used to be was extremely straightforward.

We usually power it up after my daughter returns from pre-school and set the temperature to around 74F. It usually shuts off at about 2am when the room and outside temps are nice and comfortable. The air is extremely cold around the unit and gets a good sized room down to a nice temp really fast. It seems very quiet during the day with all the other sounds and my daughter has slept like a baby ever since we got it. I does emit a low hum when it's cooling but otherwise the fan sound is not noticeable to me. You can turn it on high for a few minutes but after awhile, that's overkill. It does a great job on a low fan setting once the room is almost at the temp you want it at.

I really like the idea of not having to use central air like in our old apartment. I think over time the utility savings will easily cover the cost of the unit. The best part is I can bring it with us if we ever move.

It's worked excellently for a couple of weeks now and I may just end up getting another for our own room.

This has been a lifesaver during hot summer days. I agree with the negative reviews about it being noisy, but I have it in my bedroom and I got used to it after 2 nights. I sleep through it now. The LED is also very bright, but not so much that it keeps me awake. I took off a star because of the useless window mount. The hoses weren't long enough for it to reach my window, so I went to Home Depot to build a rig. Replacement hoses are EXPENSIVE, so I didn't buy them. The screws are very short and pop right out of the cheap plastic mount, so I'm using tape to hold them in place. I have since moved and now have casement windows, so I'm in the process of building a new mount in which I will screw the hoses directly into a piece of plexiglass which will sit in the window. I've read that this will work fine, so I'm not concerned about it. One of the negative reviews I read about this unit is that it failed to cool the space. It is designed to cool roughly 600 square feet (a small apartment) so it works fine for my place. I also use a fan to push the cool air into the other room. I like the look of the unit, as well as the fact that it can be a fan or a dehumidifier. I bought plastic tubing for the water collection tank, but it has yet to produce a single drop. The vent hose is doing its job.

I built a bar in my garage that is ~ 600 sqft. Now understand, it has walls and insulation but the exterior is corrugated tin and gets very hot. I started my journey of research to find a unit to make it comfortable. I looked at all sorts of options and spoke to several AC installers. Typically speaking, AC's are rated by the BTU's (12K BTU per 400 sqft) and I knew that 14K was not enough to cool down 600 sqft . I thought I would try it anyway because of the ease. When the unit arrived I took it out of the box, connected a few things, and turned it on (yes it is that easy). Just remember...there are two hoses in the back of the unit (intake and output). The output hose must be ventilated and the input needs to be left disconnected from the window. The intake is what pulls the air from the room, the unit cools the air, the cold air is blown back into the room and the hot air it vented out. That is basically how a unit (any AC unit) works.

Contrary to my thoughts, it works great. It is not real loud (as some say it is). Even in July with 105° Texas heat and 98% humidity this unit will pull the temp down to a comfortable degree. It will take about an hour and a half but it is well worth it.

UPDATE 7/2/2013

Ok this is the second summer I have had this unit and If you live in Los Angeles you know its been 95 to 105 degrees all week! Havent used this AC since last summer so this week we brought it out and hooked it up and it is still working flawlessly! No problems what so ever same sound level same cold output all the buttons still work and the hoses are still fine. So far for me this unit has been rock solid and I am still very happy with my purchase, if you intend on buying please read my original review below and spend a little time to hook it up correctly.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I bought this AC after doing some research and the reviews here.

My unit arrived in great condition and after reading some reviewers say the hose attachment did not stay on with the screws provided I went to the hardware store and bough 8 bolts, nuts and lock washers as well as a plastic filler plate to fill the gap that the vent didnt cover. Total price $8.98.

I put everything together with the bolts I bought and threw away the screws that came with it, I can see how they would not be able to hold the hose connector properly they are just some short wood screws that go through connector to the window vent plate, not a very secure way to hold it on but oh well.

I turned the unit on immediately very cold air poured out now it wasnt very hot in the room maybe 75 but you could feel the difference it made. I will give a better review on its full performance after the summer which I feel will be a good test the room I have it in has direct sunlight all day and is the hottest room in the house.

The unit looks well made and is very solid the noise level is not that bad my portable unit is more quite than my window unit that has only 12,000 btu's.

So far I am happy but I will update this as the summer goes into full heat mode.

Do your self a favor and take the vent plate and one of the hose connectors to a hardware store and get the bolts this will save alot of cussing later on. I truly believe those wood screws will not last too long if there is any amount of pressure placed on the plate from the vent hoses.

Oh and one other thing the vents, I am not to sure why they are designed to go just straight up? I am going to make a hood to redirect the air a little more forward but I will try it the way it was designed and report back.

UPDATE 6/25/2012

Ok so we have neen through a few 90 degree days here and I have to say that there are a few things I have learned about AC efficiency. first insulation is a must a room the is not well insulated will not cool as well as a room that is!

My AC unit is in a room with a sliding glass door that gets full sunlught all day long so it gets pretty hot with the AC running full blast it got cool but not COLD, i mean it was comfortable but i felt it was at the limit of what it could do.

What I did was buy some solar shade screens and placed them in front of the sliding doors not the whole door just the upper half. The AC unit now does an a amazing job of cooling the room! The heat coming in from the window was canceling out the cooling from the AC so it never had a chance to do its thing. it got so cold in there on a 80 degree day I found my kids watching TV with blankets covering them!

So my final thoughts on this purchase are, you must assess the room and the environmental that this AC will be used in and use some common sense if there is a heat source in the room that will cause it to heat up the AC will only go so far to keep the temps down if you can help the unit by minimizing any direct heat to the room the AC will perform at its best.

When you are buying something this expensive and this heavy, packaging is a big worry.

The product arrived in great shape--as some have said previously, it was packaged in two boxes, so even if the exterior boxed appears a bit beat up, the interior box is in perfect shape. The exterior box was double thickness and the interior box was single thickness. The corners were protected by separate corner laminated cardboard pieces that ran the full length of the box. VERY impressed with the packaging.

We have yet to place the A/C unit in its final resting place, but I suspect everything will meet or exceed our expectations. If not, I will update this review.

A comment on the terrible reviews of this product, most of which claim it not only does not cool, but actually increases the temperature of the room(s) in which it is located: If you do not attach both air ducts to outside air, of course it will heat up the room--it is simply pumping heated air that is supposed to go outside into the room into the interior room. This is a simple problem of thermodynamics: FOR THE UNIT TO WORK, YOU MUST ATTACH BOTH DUCTS TO OUTSIDE AIR WHEN USING IT IN A/C MODE.

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.

Outstanding thermostat. It replaces a 24-year old thermostat that was not working properly. It did require a professional for installation, as the wiring was not the same as pictured in the installation guide and an additional wire had to be connected at the ac/furnace unit.

Discount Sausage Maker Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator, D10

Customer Ratings:

Let me first inform you that this product comes also with stainless steel shelfs. Do not buy chrome shelfs because they rust. Stainless shelf cost a little bit more, but it is worth it.

I think name "Sausage maker" hurts company, because people who want to eat raw wrote off this choice.

This dehydrator on its lowest setting dries between 90-105.

I chose stainless steel because it is sturdy, and large. To pay over 200 for plastic Excalibur is ridiculous. Excalibur commercial stainless steel cost over 4K. So this product looks cheap in comparison.

My impressions:

1. I was surprised when I unpacked this, how primitive really dehydrators are. This is basically just a box and inside is ittle heating element with fan. That's it. Any handy person can create ths for 50 dollars and probably better one. If you have a handy person around, you should build one.

2. D10 is made of stainless steel sheets that were screwed together. The door slides from up do down and is just piece of sheet metal with small vents. The edges of sheet metal are... sharp! and I am really surprised comapny did not invest a little money to put some rubber guards. I already cut myself on the edge of the door.

3. Dehydrator works well, it is quiet, has nice peaceful humming sound. It will not bother anybody, it has calming effect.

4. It is large and shelfs slide easily in and out. If you are serious about dehydrating, size matters. Anything smaller and you will be less productive, more frustruated.

5. You really need to buy teflon sheets for this. There are websites out there that sells these. Buy 2-4, you will need them. They are very easy to clean.

I haven't seen the electric bill yet so I'm giving this heater 5 stars. I had previously bought one of the propane Reddy Heaters (RLP50VA see my review on that) to heat my garage but that heater was completely unsuitable for that task. This one is perfect, it heats up the garage quickly and is quiet and clean. It is a 240v heater and requires a hardwired installation so is a little bit of a pain but I wired everything up and had an electrician friend come check out my work before I turned it on and all was OK. Needed a 30A dual pole circuit breaker and 10/2 wire along with a junction box and flexible connecting cable but it was worth the effort! My garage is a garage under (standard Colonial) 26x22 so the ceiling is insulated but nothing else is. Living in NH, a heated garage for working on the cars is pretty much a necessity and I would recommend this heater highly.

I built my woodshop which is well insulated (R19 in walls, R40 in ceiling) and about 460 square feet with 8 foot ceilings. Living in Iowa, I was skeptical whether this heater could do the job where it sometimes gets 10 to 20 below for several days in Dec and Jan. Those fears were alleviated.

If you are at all concerned that the heater can handle a level of cold that commonly reaches 33 below (wind chill) and -20 ambient temp, worry no more. I kept the heater on the third mark out of 10 and it maintained between 49 and 53 depending on the coldness of the night. When I went out to work, I turned it up to a tad beyond LOW and it leveled at 60 degrees. It's also very quiet in that I'm able to have a normal voice conversation with anyone present and we aren't really aware when it turns on. Very nice not have the smell of fuel oil in the air. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Edit as of 01-03-09. The local news just advised that here in my area, it is the 9th coldest December since 1897 when they started keeping track. They also said it is the second snowiest December on record. There were several days below 0 and a couple to -20 ambient temp which is common in those months any Winter. This small heater keeps up better than I thought it would.

Edit as of Dec of 2012 Unit still works like it was new. I'm now on my 5th Iowa Winter with this in the shop and haven't had any issue at all. I'd make the same decision tomorrow and highly recommend it.

I needed dependable heat for a small (480 sq/ft) woodworking shop. Prior to installing this unit I was using a Monitor kerosene heater which was plagued with mysterious 'shut-downs'. Because of limited space a wood stove was out of the question, so I gave this unit a try; it's more than adequate (I live in Maine) to maintain comfortable working temperatures even on the coldest of days. Got my first electric bill yesterday and it wasn't nearly as expensive to run as I had thought...adding maybe $100 to the total electric bill (and the unit is running 24/7)!

All in all, an excellent source of shop heat.

Honest reviews on NewAir G73 Electric Garage Heater - Safe and Reliable Heat for 500

I purchased this heater for my 700 sq. ft. shop with 12' ceiling (well insulated). In the first hour it raised the temperature from 43 to 55 degrees (F). After two hours temp. was up to about 60F. I was impressed.

It is small, quiet, and produces great heat for its size.

Thermostatically controlled fan will cycle on and off until the ambient temperature is above 55 or so, then will run continuously until reaching desired temp.

Good heat with poor documentation. Documentation does not give a clue as to how to connect to today's 240v 4 wire connections.

The heater requires a 240v 30amp 3 wire connection. I have a 30 amp 4 wire outlet. Therefore, I purchased a 4 wire 240v dryer pigtail from Home Depot. Then I connected black to black, red to white, and green to green (ground). Black and red are the two incoming hot wires in newer 240 volt 4-wire arrangements...I presume. I am NOT an electrican.

The 4th wire (white) in this case is not needed. I capped the white wire and tied it off inside the heater.

Expect some smoke in the first couple of minutes...from oils on the heating elements, etc. It is a nice heater considering price and size.

I subtracted one star in my rating due to the poor documentation.

List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $41.99
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

I wanted to review this product for those who were mainly concerned about the amount of power this amazing electric heater draws. Another reviewer stated use of this product blew fuses in his abode repetitively; I too can confirm that behaviour... and you'll soon understand why.

The unit itself is sturdy and quiet. Oscillation is smooth, and the fan (whether being used to blow heated or non-heated air) emits a "whooshing" noise rather than a whine. The fan makes an acceptable level of background noise (I was able to sleep without any problems, and found it relaxing). The unit has 3 modes of operation, controlled by a dial: fan only (no heater), fan and heater (level 1), and fan and heater (level 2). Oscillation is controlled via a separate button, as is temperature controlled via a separate dial. The amount of heat this unit can put out -despite being adjustable -is excellent. The power cord has a 2-prong connector.

But as previously mentioned, the power draw is downright unreasonable. The specifications claim a maximum of 1500W, but the unit absolutely will draw a lot more than that at times. Below are the readings (using a Kill-a-Watt metre, measuring amperage and wattage at 120V) and what features/adjustments were set to. This will surely shock many readers.

Fan only operation: 0.20 to 0.25 amps, 14 to 17 watts

Fan and heater (level 1): 7.4 to 8.0 amps, 750 to 830 watts

Fan and heater (level 2): 14.3 to 14.75 amps, 1450 to 1610 watts

Oscillation added approximately 0.02 amps and an additional 3 watts no matter what mode the unit was set to.

These numbers are accurate, and "double confirmed" by blowing fuses in my apartment numerous times. I even lost a generic (low-grade) power strip as a result. Readers should be aware that in most homes, a single power circuit (not outlet!) is usually 15 amps, so the chance of a fuse blowing as a result of this unit being used is quite high assuming other electronics (computers, etc.) are on the same circuit.

Furthermore, when considering the wattage drawn, think for a moment of your electric bill.

If your home has numerous dedicated 15 or 20 amp circuits, this product is definitely for you and will keep you extremely warm. If you rent an older flat like I do, expect there to be limited/shared circuits with 15 amps maximum, which means you should probably be looking for a unit that draws less power. Yes, you could run the unit at "level 1", but it's significantly warmer and more effective at "level 2".

I'm giving this product 3/5 stars given its decent build quality, silent operation, and effectiveness (I would give it 3.5 if Amazon supported half-star ratings). I'm docking stars due to the absurd power requirements given that most US abodes use 15 amp circuits, with newer homes using 20 amp.

I really like this heater. Got one for Christmas, to replace my office space heater which had just burnt out;however, my office doesn't open until after New Years Day, so we used it at the house, as the weather turned cold. It worked WONDERFULLY, better than I expected! And the oscillating feature is a MUST what I used to hate about my old heater was that it always projected heat in the same, small area and I was forever moving it around to avoid getting one spot too hot this heater doesn't have that problem. It works great!

Rec'd product promptly and in good condition. It's the perfect size for my bedroom, with a slim profile and hi-tech look. Tested the heater on a cold night and it warmed up my room in no time. The fan was quiet and the oscillating tower was good at spreading the heat around. Overall, a good little heater for the price!

Honest reviews on Lasko 5367 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I purchased two of these heaters this winter. They have worked great. They may not be 100% silent, but they are about as quiet as you can get for a space heater with a fan. I use one on the low setting in my two stall detached garage to keep it at about 45 degrees. I use the other in a 21' x 11' room in the house. It easily and quickly warms this room. I only have a couple of little complaints. The oscillating feature is nice for heat distribution, but the arc range that it sweeps could be greater. Also, it doesn't have tip over safety protection. It only has overheat protection. These cons are not enough to drop it from 5 to 4 stars, though.

I have tried a couple of different space heaters over the years. I had some digital resistive element Vornados. They heated the room and moved the air nice, but they all just up and died. Too bad too, because they were not cheap. I had a digital Holmes that worked like and had all the same features as the Vornados, but it too died. I have a Pelonis Safe-T ceramic heater. It still functions and puts out good heat, but it is pretty loud. When it comes to space heaters, what I have concluded is that digitally controlled heaters are not reliable. I think the circuitry just can't handle the elevated case temperatures. Since I haven't had the Laskos very long, I can't speak for their durability, but I think the manual thermostat will mean longer life. Overall, these Lasko heaters do it all at a good price. And, I won't feel as sick if they fail as I did with the Vornados.

This is my 2nd Lasko 5367 after trying several lower cost space heaters that all broke. My first one held up for 3 & 1/2 years in near constant 'on-high' and just gave out earlier in this year.

The size is great, reaching close enough to the floor to keep your feet warm. The oscillating button on top w/ the controls make adjusting the temperature easy to reach.

The fan feature is great for cooling down a room and takes about a minute to feel the cooler temp if you've been running it on the heating settings.

Easily warms up a small to med size chilly room very quickly and is very quiet.

I would suggest using this product with a grounding outlet on a different fuse from any high power electronic because it packs a lot of power for its size.

There are ventilation slots on the back that are easy to clean but, I don't recommend using it in a bathroom, unless you remove it before running a shower to protect it from steam.

Obviously, you should keep children and pets away from it, but at the same time, it's a rather no-worry, very solid and extremely difficult to tip over product with a heat overload protection built in.

I just got my new one and if it holds up like my 1st, I can't think of a thing that makes this product not worth the price, especially w/a 3-yr manufacturer's warranty.

I have one of these in an addition bathroom, and it does such a great job that we bought another one when we re-did the master bath. Recommend putting a timer with it.

Cheap Suncourt TW108 ThruWall Room to Room Fan 8"

Customer Ratings:

This fan moves more air than many others. The cost was acceptable and it operates with a standard plug which fits into 110v receptacle which is the same as a lamp. I have to look at it to see if it is still working because it is so quiet. With a step stool, I can feel the warm air coming from the heated room.

I recently purchased and installed this to move the hot air from my pellet stove . I cut a hole in the top of the wall in the living room and into the staircase to get the second floor. This fan is very well made and has two speeds. I find it to work very well and it is not very loud. I highly recommend it!

I used to seeing products that are built cheaply, but this one is not. It was easy to install. The noise level is acceptable. It moves as much air as what I needed. Good product.

This fan was quieter than expected and the two speed options were a bonus. I used this to vent an entertainment center cabinet housing AV equipment. This coupled with a thermo controlled receptacle worked perfect.

Fan works great. It moves alot of air for an 8 inch fan. Install would have been very easy if not for having solid 2 inch by 6 inch walls. But that was on my part not the fans. Once I got the holes cut, it went in very easily and secured to walls with no problems. Some say that on high the fan is too loud but I don't even notice it in my living room when on that setting. Using it to primarily push heat up my stairs from the living room where we use our fireplace most of the time and it warms the upstairs hall and rooms pretty well. Would highly recommend this fan.
