The heater is small yet heats better than the larger older model we replaced. Packed with great functions and extremely portable. This heater is the best looking too. We have had no problems to date either. I highly recommend this portable heater.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HEATER EVER. I PURCHASED MY FIRST ONE ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO AND IT WARMED UP MY ROOM WITHIN 15 MINS AND MY ROOM IS AS BIG AS A LIVING ROOM AREA (ABOUT 20FT WIDE 50 FTS LONG). IT GETS SO WARM I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE HEATER FOR A FEW HOURS.

NOONE REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD BUT THEN AGAIN HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT A REALLY GOOD PRODUCT OR DEAL WHEN THEY SEE ONE. EVERYONE I TOLD ABOUT THIS HEATER PURCHASED ONE AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT AND SAID ITS THE BEST THING THEY EVER BOUGHT WITH THIER MONEY.

PLUS IT LAST VERY LONG. I PURCHASED THIS 6 YEARS AGO AND IT GAVE OUT LAST YEAR FINALLY. MIND YOU I KEPT IT ON ALL DAY SOMETIMES WHEN I WASN'T HOME FOR WEEKS. I JUST PURCHASED ANOTHER AND I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER HEATER. ONCE I BUY A HOME I WILL BUY 6 OF THESE HECK MAYB EVEN 10 JUST TO HAVE.

GREAT BUY, GREAT DEAL, WORKS AWESOME, LASTS FOR YEARS.

Had a pro install and program it in about 20 min. Perfect "out of the box" and exactly as advertised. Does exactly what I wanted and the 'backlit' screen is great a night when an adjustment may be required. Easy o adjust and use and the directions are clear and comprehensive. Good value for the money.

Nesco American Harvest FD-61 Snackmaster Encore Dehydrator Reviews

This dehydrator is top notch for the money. I read the reviews, making note of people wanting timers, time tables in the instruction manual being incorrect and one that states they didn't like the hole in the middle, huh? That's where the fan blows hot air downward. As far as a timer and the manual being off on time tables, let me point out you don't need a timer and you don't want to rely on one. This dehydrator doesn't take days to finish, so if you have to leave the house or go to bed..unplug it. Use it when you can check on the progress. It's not a Crock Pot. As far as the time tables being off, take into consideration that people cut their foods into different thickness and a quarter inch differs from eye to eye. Humidity levels are different place to place and so many different factors are in play. So the time tables are only a guide and not the law. That's why you DON'T want to use a timer. This product can also be used WITHOUT electricity. Take the top motor off, cover the top of the trays with clear or black plastic and set in the sun. It's a great product and a good buy,

I bought this product because I am getting into raw foods. It works beautifully to dry fruits and vegetables. I have done apples, pears, mango, bananas, strawberries and pineapple. The dried watermelon and cantaloupe are the best, as they taste like candy! It also does a nice job on flax crackers. I would suggest rotating the trays mid-way, since the top and bottom trays seem to dry more quickly.

This dehydrator works just the way it should quietly and efficiently. The jerky came out perfect and took slightly less time than was expected (about 6 hours). Given the relatively low cost and ease of use, this product is worth it. If you are going to do more than 3 pounds of meat you might want to buy additional trays. Cleanup was also quite easy. There are other products that cost more, but I doubt that they do the job any better.

Honest reviews on Nesco American Harvest FD-61 Snackmaster Encore Dehydrator

I read the reviews on all sorts of dehydrators before purchasing one and everyone agreed: BUY THE NESCO. I like my nesco a lot, we use it all the time for beef jerky. We tried doing pineapple in it, but it seemed to be a waste as the pineapple tasted better fresh than dried.

The jerky maker gun works ok, the spices are a little 'ick' that came with it. We used the jerky gun once, and then we stuck with london broils or flank steaks as our meat of choice for jerky.

Most people say my beef jerky is the best they've ever tasted. I slice london broils (bought on sale) against the grain("on the bias")very thinly. Use a very sharp filet or chefs knife. I marinate the strips in a bowl in the frig for 12-24 hours in 1cup soy sauce, 1cup teriyaki, 2 tbs brown sugar 1tbs black pepper.

My machine holds about 3 lbs of marinated jerky, and it takes around 4-5 hours to dry. I let the jerky rest/cool on a plate, then i store in a ziplock baggie.

GREAT VALUE makes INCREDIBLE jerky. Only wish this product had a timer or an on off switch.

Let me just start off by saying that i gave it 4 stars because there is a disadvantage to having a whole in the center. But i bought this because the dehydrator i really wanted was $200 and i wanted to make sure i would enjoy the foods i could make with it. I would actually want to give this a 4 1/2 stars.

I got this because I am switching over to a more raw diet. I got a few cookbooks that have lots of mouth watering recipes but they required a food dehydrator. I love it. This one is soft, just a low hum. I have kept it on for days at a time making lots of goodies.

One thing i noticed when i put a thermometer in the machine is that is is 10 degrees off and so i keep it at 105 to give me the perfect 115 for "cooking" raw foods. So i suggest you do the same if you get this machine. I put it in the bottom vent.

This machine is so easy to use i am having tons of fun. If you are buying your first dehydrator this is the one to get. If you are getting it for raw foods buy extra fruit roll up sheets. It comes with one but i use them a lot!

Cheap Ambient Thermostat Programmable Hand Held Remote (for gas logs)

Customer Ratings:

This little unit installs into the fireplace. The receiver and remote both use batteries. The receiver can be installed inside the fireplace, or in a gang box (light switch box), and comes with a nice faceplate for that. We just had it put in (under) the fireplace; we already have a switch for the fire.

This has several modes. On/Off (with timer), thermostat and setback. Setback (or schedule) is the useful one. You can put the remote wherever you want, more flexibly than a wired thermostat, and it can have the same type of schedule... four times (on/off/on/off) for M-F/S/S. (That's 12 times.) Each has it's own temperature. Just like a thermostat.

The only downside is that it's really inconvenient to switch back to setback mode. You can turn the fireplace on or off with the remote at any point, but turning it back to the scheduled mode is something strange like holding "On"+"Set" for three seconds.

The receiver battery only lasts about six months. It took a while to determine it needed changing.

So this is a great value for an easy-to-install and really need unit.

I purchased one of these several years ago and really liked it. When replacing the battery, I cracked the case and used black tape to repair it. Finally the tape idea wasn't working too well so I decided I was going to have to replace it. After shopping the internet trying to compare value, I went right back to this one....! Great value the first time and I'm sure it will be again. Very accurate and easy to install.

I'm on my 3rd season with this unit.

1. Its way more powerful than my GE portable. Keeps the LR cool when the GE would not.

2. This unit, though powerful, is very poorly made.

Example:

All four wheels broke off the first season (my season is June-Aug)

The unit emits a "burnt tire" smell. finally stopped smelling in the 3rd season. Friends are no longer asking, "what's that smell?"

The digital lights went out at the start of the 2nd season, so no warranty to fix.

The directional blades fell off the machine during the second season. Can not be repaired.

The exhaust hose lasted only one season, then fell apart, even though properly stored ($29 + s/h for replacement)

To all those who see nothing but good ratings at the Compact Appl site: They refuse to post any of the real negative stuff. They fix the comment section to reflect only good reviews of 4 stars and more. Not too ethical, no?

I purchased this air conditioner from another site. We've had it for one day and it is going back. The first problem is the stupid window kit. It is thin and flimsy. The other problem is that the window kit does not fit flush in the window. There is about a half-inch difference between the extension and the window. Plan on using some duct tape to close the gap. The next problem was the first day it arrived it was 80 degrees but the lowest the unit would cool the room down to was about 74 degrees even though it was programmed for 65 degrees. Our old unit was only 6,000 BTU's and it kept our room really cool for 5 summers so I do not believe this unit is really 12,000 BTU's. I left the unit on overnight because the exhaust opening on the window plate is little more than the kind of plastic grates you see on milk crates. They supply a plastic cover but it takes a bit of force to twist it off. As I mentioned earlier, the window kit plate isn't the sturdiest so I was worried if I used too much force it might fall out the window. The final straw came the next day when the unit shut off because we had to drain out the water. This is crazy how often would it need to drain on 90 degree days? I am so happy I purchased this unit early enough to return it before it gets too hot. BUYER BEWARE THIS PRODUCT IS JUNK!

Honest reviews on Koldfront AP12000S-KF Extreme Cool 12,000 BTU Portable Air

Compact Appliance sent me a piece of junk (Portable air conditioner EdgeStar model # AP1200S). It kept tripping the breaker and the one time when it did run for 3 hours it never cooled the room. Compact Appliance told me to contact EdgeStar then EdgeStar said to contact Compact Appliance. It is very frustrating to deal with these two Companies. No one wants their piece of junk portable air conditioner back.

The return policy with Compact Appliance is horrible Compact Appliance makes you pay for shipping back to them no matter what. There is no satisfaction guaranteed even though they say there is on their website.

The manufacture warranty through Edge Star is also horrible. They make you pay for shipping on the extremely heavy portable air conditioner to an EdgeStar authorized repair facility (wherever that isas it does not say on the warranty).

I find it hard to believe that there are so many great reviews on this air conditioner on the Compact Appliance website. The Amazon reviews are not as good.

It is very frustrating when you are looking forward to getting cool air after you paid a lot of money to Compact Appliance and took time carrying it up the stairs and unpacking and installing it and still not having cool air. Then having Compact Appliance and EdgeStar blame each other and you is even crazier. It has been a very upsetting two weeks. It is not worth buying from them.

I am happy to report that I purchased a Sharp portable air conditioner at Costco and it is working beautifully. If for some reason it stops working (even 5 years down the road) I can take it back to Costco and get me money back instantly. Costco is a company that does guarantee satisfaction unlike Compact Appliance.

live in the Northeast, not a big air conditioning area, few weeks in the summer. first thought the room was to big (15 x 25) but for curiosity sake placed in a 8 x10 bath...never moved the thermostat after running for three hours. Spent $271 at S ears for a 12000 btu window unit works like a pro. Expensive lesson in air conditioning. Best advice...buy a window unit

Sun Cloud Solar Comfort KD8000 Portable Infrared Heater, Rich Reviews

Customer Ratings:

My house is a small one, about 800 square feet of space. I live in upstate New York, just east of Lake Ontario, and when it's not snowing off the lake, it's cold, just the same. Winters are usually not mild ones. My house is set to be heated with electric baseboard heat, and I have a Timberline fireplace insert that will heat the whole house should I want to use wood. About six years ago, I bought a 1500 watt Sun Cloud zone heater, which is rated for up to 800 square feet of space. It is thermostat controlled and uses four 375 watt infrared bulbs to provide the heat. The bulbs heat many flagella like tubes through which the heated air is blown and out into the room. It looks much like every other similar heater being sold these days, but the inner shell is metal and the outer shell is wood (oak, cherry or mahogany). What makes this heater so much better than other designs is that you don't have to send it back to the manufacturer for repairs. Anything that might go wrong can easily be fixed locally if necessary. The bulbs can be found at your local electric store, and so can the thermostat or blower. Parts are simple, not complex, and your local handyman can repair it easily! I have been using this heater for all the cold months that I have owned it, and if the outside temperature stays about 30 degrees, the house never gets chilly. Anything below 30 degrees will drop the temp to say 67 degrees, but I just augment the house temp with my baseboard heat and everything is toasty. Since the unit is thermostatically controlled, it cycles on and off as necessary, but even if it ran all night and day, it would only use 1.5 kilowatt/hours of electricity per hour, times 24 hours which equals 36 kilowatt hours of electricity per day! Multiply that by your local electricity rate (say 10 cents per kilowatt hour of usage), and you can readily see that it cannot cost more to use than $3.60 per day! As I said, the thermostat allows it to cycle on and off, so for most people, it will cost less than $3.60 per day to use. I am so happy with my unit that I bought two more units to augment my mother's home, which has more than double the floor space that my home has. She heats with oil and uses from 3 to 5 gallons per day in the winter months. With oil prices soaring, she should save money using Sun Cloud.

I purchased this heater to supplement the heat from my furnace. So far it has been great. I don't know yet how it will effect my gas & electric bill but judging by how infrequently my furnace kicks on it should do wonders for my gas bill. It's quiet, I hardly even notice it's on. Just like they advertise, the outside doesn't get too hot to touch. It looks great in my living room, like just another piece of furniture. I definitely made a good decision buying this.

Reviews of LuxPro PSPU732T 7 Day Programmable Touch Screen Thermostat - 3

Customer Ratings:

The LuxPro PSPU732T is the only accurate thermostat with a built in humidistat that I could find on the market that has an option to control the temperature and humidity independently. I could not find this feature on any Honeywell, White-Roger or any other digital thermostat with built in humidistat. This feature is especially useful for minimizing energy consumption in vacant summer homes in humid climates. It is an established fact that high humidity causes mold and mildew to form and that as long as the humidity is controlled the temperature can be allowed to get much higher in a vacant home than when it is occupied. Other manufacturers that make thermostats with built in humidistats turn off the AC if the conditioned air temperature falls 3 degrees below the thermostat's setting, even if the humidity is higher than set by the humidistat. I believe that this is done to prevent the AC to run continuously if the humidistat is set too low, a valid issue. However, with such products, if the thermostat is not set low enough the humidity can exceed the desired levels in periods when the temperature is moderate but the humidity is above the level where mold/mildew can form, a condition that can occur many times. In fact, if the temperature is set too low it can cause mold/mildew to form at outside wall sheet rocks where the humid outside air and the cold inside air meet. The LuxPro's humidistat is accurate to +-4 percent. It would be better if it would be tighter but this is the most accurate humidistat that I found, most manufacturers don't even state the humidistat accuracy and the one thermostat with similar features that I bought had a humidistat that was off by at least 20% making it useless for controlling humidity.

The LuxPo is a full featured programmable thermostat with a well designed human interface and an excellent display that has a back light which can be set to be on permanently or turn off a few seconds after the display is touched. It has many options that need to be set up properly, however, once it is set up it is easy to use. It has non-volatile memory and does not need batteries. There is an optional outdoor wireless temperature sensor for automatically controlling the humidity in cold climates which I didn't test.

If there is anything negative, it is the Instruction Manual that is missing the calibration information for the humidistat (probably very rarely needed) and could elaborate on the de-humidification and other options.

After researching all the digital thermostats with humidistats on the market I can say that the LuxPro is the best product for controlling the temperature and humidity in homes in warm climates that are vacant for extended periods.

Received this as a Christmas gift. Used very lightly in my office. Died after a few months of use. Simply won't turn on. I imagine the electronics fried in it from the heat. More likely, there is a chip in there that causes it to die shortly after the warranty is expired.

It's another piece of junk made in China, now destined for a U.S. landfill.

Don't waste your money on Lasko.
