So far this coffee pot has worked great! It came with the cleaning tool, and that is very helpful. I would have liked for it to come with the piece that made it sit higher or at least show a link for where I could purchase that piece, I think it makes it look more complete.

Lux WP9000TS Thermostat Wallplate Reviews

Lux WP9000TS Thermostat Wallplate
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this to go along with the matching touch screen thermostat, heavily influenced by the positive reviews saying that it looks great. Well, it looks ok. But it makes an already pretty large thermostat even larger, and stand out more, and to me the color isn't quite the same as the thermostat, either.

don't hesitate to buy this if you need it to cover up something from the previous install (like if your last thermostat was even bigger or you are trying to slightly move it from previous spot), this does what it was designed to do.

Otherwise, skip it.

I purchased the Lux TX9000TS to replace an older unit that had been vertically mounted. Wasn't sure if the new unit was going to be big enough to cover the old hole. Turns out it was, but I had already ordered this wallplate just in case. Even though it wasn't needed, I wanted to see how it looked. The thermostat already looked great, but the wallplate made the touchscreen stand out and look even better!!! I likened it to a picture frame. Sure, a picture in a frame looks good... but adding a matt to the frame makes it stand out and look sharp! Shipping was free and fast. $2 well spent in my book!

Our house has plaster walls. After my husband removed the old thermostat, the new Lux thermostat did not cover part of the hole left by the previous thermostat. This wallplate is a cheap way to cover the gaping hole. It was very easy to install. Love it!

This wall plate adds a finishing touch to a LUX programmable thermostat. It was relatively inexpensive and a detail that is well worth it. By the way, the thermostat is great, easy to use and install.

It works pretty well, but there is lots of stinky smell during the first several uses. There is also lots of smoke even just cooking a simple pizza while there is no oil or any substance being burned. On the other hand, it cooks pizza very well and it fits the Papa Murphy family-size pizza perfectly.

Bionaire BWF0910AR-WCU Remote Control Window Fan Review

Bionaire BWF0910AR-WCU Remote Control Window Fan
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I love this fan so much I bought a 2nd one!

I have a large and tall verticle sliding window, two units placed vertically on their side, end-to-end fit perfect in my window, and it is the perfect solution for my hot and hard to ventilate and cool upstairs bedroom.

I love the thermostat function, that starts the fans up in the morning when I am still sleeping, and the fans are so quiet, they do not wake me up, so I wake up to a perfect 74 degrees.

If I do not want a drafty breeze on my skin, I program all of the fans to exhaust all of the hot air out of the house.

If I want to feel a breeze, I can program 1, 2 or all 4 fans to blow outside air into the house.

Since I have 2 units in 1 window, I set one thermostat to 74 degrees, and I set the 2nd set of fan's thermostat at 76 degrees. So if it is extra hot outside, and the 1st set of fans can't keep the temperature down to 74 degrees, and the temp rises above 76 degrees, then the 2nd set of fans come on and they keep the temp below 76, so far I haven't needed to use any AC!

I am very pleased, and I will install the same in the second bedroom soon.

Twin window fans are easy to find in stores. But something like this is a true rarity. I decided to opt for this Bionaire model after a couple of cheaper ones died on me over just a couple of summers. The price on this baby may be steep, but its a top quality solid machine all the way. The blades on it are a little bigger than the usual you are used to seeing on store models, and whisper quiet during operation. It really moves a lot of air effortlessly and cleanly. This thing can be programed with the remote with so many options that its like a new toy for any man, (and something the more sensible lady can set once and forget about)... This unit fits nicely in most windows and is very easy to set up. The digital readout works perfectly and saves trips to your thermostat if your wondering what the actual temp is. I admit I am spoiled by this fan and would never settle again for something cheaper. A real keeper. Highly recommended for the discriminating window... : )

I purchased this fan through Consumer Wholesales here on Amazon. The fan, even with the extender panel does not fit my window. At the time I purchased the fan, the product info states extra extender panels were available. I tried to return the fan first. Consumer Wholsalers told me to contact Bionaire. There is no phone number on the Bionaire website, & the contact by email kept taking me back to their FAQs! I have been searching for weeks for the elusive "extender panel" & have not found it. What a waste of money!

Honest reviews on Bionaire BWF0910AR-WCU Remote Control Window Fan

The product overall is pretty good but could be improved with design changes.

It is going to be strange because some of the PROs are also negatives or features lacking.

PRO:

It has a Remote control

Fans turn in Exchange mode (out/in), Push out, or Pull in.

It gave me batteries for Remote.

Temperature Shut off if the temperature is reached.

CONS:

Window Size is limited especially for vertical windows.

========================================================

I wanted to put this in 4 places in my house but all my windows are vertical. However I saw that you could

extend the edge out on the horizontal so I thought it would work vertically. It however did not extend enough on my windows were about a foot taller than the fan could expand.

Remote Control

===============

Remote control lacks 1 of the buttons that is on the unit also you can't tell by any way what setting is on

the fan already from the remote point of view.

Temperature Shut

================

This is nice but I wanted it to adjust to pull from outside if the air on the outside is cooler than inside

or do an exchange automatically figuring this out it does no of that.

Timer Shut Off

==============

It lacks a timer shut off one could argue that the Temperature Shut off is good enough. Often it rained outside

and the room was still above the set degrees since it was late or I was not paying attention to the fan I often had to shut off the fan to avoid it throwing water in the gears. If it could detect moisture instead using a barometer or something that would be better but since I never seen that I don't expect that but other fans have timers that shut off after so many hours.

These fans have a history of thermostat problems, but I had hoped that they had been resolved. In my case they were not. The thermostat would only read between 74 and 77 degrees when running. When I unplugged the fan and let it sit next to an AC vent for an hour, the temp would go down to 68. When I plugged the unit back in....with or without the fan running, the temperature climbed back up to 74 degrees quickly, and remained between 74 and 77.

Additionally, the fan was shipped in flimsy original manufacturers boxing. While I understand that mechanical items sometimes fail, I was surprised at how difficult the seller made the return, challenging my ability to troubleshoot a fan, trying to force an exchange when I wanted a refund, and demanding I handle the resolution their way. I eventually had to engage Amazon to intervene through the A to Z guarantee process.

Very nice looking product, seems to be very well constructed and not at all cheesy.

Thermometer is right on the money with my two HVAC thermostats.

Thermostats display in full degrees, while the TE513 displays full degrees plus tenths.

When the 513 goes from 9/10th to the next full degree, my thermostats change right with it. They couldn't be calibrated closer.

The hygrometer, which is the main reason I purchased the 513, isn't perfect, but it is pretty darn close.

I tested it using the dampened salt in a closed container method, and it topped out at 72%, which is just 3 ticks from the expected 75%.

Neither the 513 thermometer nor hygrometer can be adjusted, so you live with the variance, but for normal household humidity use, 3 ticks off is close enough for me.

I was skeptical about ordering the 513 after reading the 02/05/10 one star review of the charcoal 513 from "Tommy" Aube by Honeywell TE513-7/U Electronic Indoor Thermometer and Humidistat, Charcoal, but figured I'd roll the dice.

I'm going to roll the dice again and order three more 513's, one for the basement, and use the other two as gifts.

Bottom line is, I'm pleased with the product

I purchased two of these units. I kept reporting that the humidity levels for my new humidifiers were too low. A Honeywell factory rep came with his unit and we discovered that both units are off as much as 15%. Remember, this product is made by Honeywell. To prove this to myself, I put the units outdoors and compared them to the observations by the National Weather Service. They were off 20%. I do not recommend this product.

Best Deals on Aube by Honeywell TE513/U Electronic Indoor Thermometer

I bought two, out of the package one said 20% the other 40%. I put one upstairs and one downstairs. Over a few days those readings stayed within a few points of where they started. Then I switched them, moving the 40% one upstairs and 20% one downstairs. They essentially kept the same readings. The 20% keeping about 20% whether upstairs or downstairs and the 40% keeping about 40% whether upstairs or downstairs. Then I brought both upstairs. Still, about 20% and 40%. The only logical conclusion is that they really don't work.

Honest reviews on Aube by Honeywell TE513/U Electronic Indoor Thermometer

This small humidity and temperature gauge works well. It is reasonably priced and gives a readout nearly as accurate as a gauge from Oregon Scientific which is many times the price of this gauge. I use this as a second humidity readout in a room away from the more elegant Oregon Scientific gauge.

I had an older, more expensive small gauge and bought this one to be a second gauge for a different location in the house. Later I bought the Oregon Scientific instrument. When I compared the humidity readings between this gauge and the others, this one and the Oregon Scientific agreed. The older, more expensive small gauge was so far off from the others that it went into the trash.

This is a good unit. You won't be disappointed. It is as accurage as a small, low cost unit can be.

Always wondered how hot it was in the office and now I know. I just keep this at my desk and when it hits 80 I head home. I also liked the humidity sensor but right now it reads "LO" which I discovered means it is below the 20% threshold that it can detect. If you need to know very low humidity settings this might not work for you. I keep the humidifier at about 35% at home in the winter and wanted to see how close it was getting.

I grew up in a Crepe lovin' household. We had sweet crepes for breakfast, savory crepes for lunch and meat filled crepes for dinner.

I always have used a stove top crepe pan and thought it slow and kind of a pain. That is how my dad always did it so I always thought it was the best way.

Not anymore. A friend recommended I try the Villaware electric crepe maker. Non stick coating, quick and easy. Boy were they right. Just dip the the cooker in the pan they include and you are making a crepe every 25 seconds or so. Easy to clean. I love this thing. Good recipes too, altough their basic recipe is not sweet enough.

If you love crepes. This is the piece to get.

In anticipation of granting my high school French club's wish to have an after-school crepe party, I bought a VIllaWare crepe maker at Christmas. This past week we used it, along with the more traditional skillet-on-the-stove method in our home ec room. While the seniors preferred the skillets, which allowed them to show off their crepe flipping ability, the younger students liked the "perfect every time" certainty of the VillaWare crepe maker. It was so much fun watching them cook for themselves and for the other faculty members, whose noses led them to see who and what was cooking in the home ec room after school! We had both dessert and chicken crepes. The French 4 kids "volunteered" to make more crepes the next day in class so as to use up the many left-over toppings. So, my classroom became a crepe factory 4th period the next day. How convenient it was to cook crepes right in class, thanks to the VillaWare crepe maker! Many of my kids would like to have their own machines now and can afford to buy their own VillaWare makers, since the price is so reasonable. I plan to order another maker so our next French Club crepe party can accomodate more students. Thanks to VillaWare I can have more kids cooking at our next meeting; rumor has it that even more are coming to cook next time, and I feel comfortable letting the inexperienced cooks use the crepe maker.

This may be one of the better crepe makers at the price there are a couple of things that really bum me out ...

One .. it takes close to a good 3 to 4 minutes to make a crepe on this machine even though it has a 900 watt element (200 more than and older model...) so unless you are makeing crepes for one ... realx have a drink cause your gonna be sitting at this machine for some time ..

Two .. the teflon covering .. well it's French teflon ... don't expect it to last ... nuff said ...

Three .. the handle doesnt come off and the crepe batter is pretty liquid so get ready to use toothpicks to clean the cracks between the handle of the crepe maker and teflon plate

Four .. appart from that it's probably the best machine out there .. definitely for the money ... and .. since we love crepes and theres more than one person in my house I've bought 2 of these machines ... go figure ....

PS.... you have to try the corn meal crepes they are the most .....

Honest reviews on VillaWare V5225 Crepe Maker

We have had this crepe maker for about a year, and although it makes great crepes, the teflon surface is seriously peeling off (enough that we can no longer use it) after just about 20 uses. This is my major problem with it, and I will not by this brand again.

It does make much thinner, more delicate crepes than using a pan, but the batter has to be just so not too much or too little oil or flour, or else they either stick or fall off the surface.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for VillaWare V5225 Crepe Maker

I made my first batch of crepes last night, and I am happy to report that they were very easy to make. Why not 5 stars then? I agree with other reviewers that the chord becomes easily entangled. I had to stop three or four times throughout the batch and untangle the chord. Other than that, each crepe only took about 40 seconds to make and were delicious, using the basic recipe from the manual. Another issue I have with this crepe maker is the dipping pan that is included as part of the set. Besides being made out of plastic, it is oddly shaped: mine actually appears to have been through the dishwasher because it looks a little warped. Also, when I got to the bottom of the batter, I was afraid, like another reviewer, that I was melting the plastic into my crepes. A better chord design and a glass dipping pan would make this unit merit 5 starts. I would still, however, recommend this crepe maker for its price and ease of use.

This is the third electric mattress pad we have had and it is by far my favorite. I bought it because of the auto-off feature. My spouse is not so good about remembering to turn it off and now I don't have to check it.

We use the European style of bedding: a comforter with a duvet cover and no top sheet. Making the bed literally takes a few seconds. However, this set-up is impossible with electric blankets, so we use the electric mattress pads. The first one had very noticeable wires. Now we are not "Princess and a Pea" people, but it was not comfortable. It had to be on for at least 15 minutes to feel any heat. Still, we used it for many years. Later I replaced it with a better one. Still, the wires were uncomfortable and it was slow to heat. I put an additional mattress pad on top of the heated one to make it more comfortable, which probably reduced the heat even further, but it cushioned the wires.

This model is really great. I do not feel any wires at all. It heats very quickly. Turn it on PH and it preheats at the top setting for 30 minutes, then goes to what you had it set at.

The only thing I don't like about this is that the plug in is on the top (horizontal)foot of the bed instead of on the (vertical) side. Our feet hit a hard plate. It is not unpleasant, it will just take some time to get used to it. You also have to plug the unit in on an outlet that is on the right side of the bed for the controllers to properly reach your nightstands. It states that in the instructions, but I wanted to plug it in on the left (my husband's) side as my side's outlet was full. The first time I tried the bed I was unhappy with the heat. I had it on PH and didn't feel it. Then my foot happened to kick over to my husband's side and it was toasty warm. A minute spent moving the plug (and controllers) and it worked fine. Amazing what following the instructions can do.

This product works as shown. It has dual adjustable zones (my wife likes to cook, I merely like to steep) and a nice "preheat" mode that works quickly (turn it on before you brush your teeth, and the bed is warm by the time you get there). We haven't turned on the heat at all this winter, and we would have if we didn't have this.

We have previously owned electric blankets and this is *so* much better. Heat rises, make the most of it!

We've had it about a month so far, and no problems. I was worried whether we should pay a lot more for the more expensive line Amazon offered, but so far I am really happy with how this one turned out.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Imperial 140-Thread-Count Polyester Cotton Blend Comfort

I purchased this product last week and it failed out of the box. Sunbeam's heated blanket and mattress pad products have many quality issues. I have purchased 3 within the the last 5 years and they typically will not last more than a single winter. I can guarantee they will not last the 5 year guarantee period. When they quit operating, Sunbeam requires that you ship the blanket to a service center somewhere in the south. After several weeks a blanket is returned to you. Ours was not the blanket shipped. At least the returned blanket was clean. Thanks! I purchased this heated mattresss pad because I thought it might be more durable than the blanket.

Sunbeam used to manufacture quality products that worked well and lasted for years. It's hard to believe this product is still marketed as the "#1 Heated Mattress Pad."

Its got a good finish, some of the wood is just painted to look like solid wood but for what you pay for its a good deal. Looks nice..went together fairly easily but the fireplace insert had a built in gap of about a half inch (you had to choose top or bottom so i chose top so the fireplace would sit on the supports). It wasnt a build issue it was designed that way. Also...despite having a box that was in perfect shape and looked clean...the base piece of wood wrapped in clean wrapping was filled with dirt and was rotten. Real Flame just said to send it back to who I bought it from and didnt offer to send me the piece, I ended up just taking an orbital sander to it and repainting it to avoid the hassle of getting it back in the box since it would have been a pain to get it back in there. Seller ended up sending us the gel fireplace instead of the electric (same mantel etc) so I cant comment on the electric part of it.

I ordered this heater for my parents who were taking a 6 week trip to Europe. My mum LOVED it! None of the hotels she stayed in had a jug to heat water so she used it almost daily.

She's still using it at work to heat her water for tea in the office. She highly recommends it. Thanks!

I've owned two of these. The first one I dropped and it stopped working. Ok, my fault. The second I heated 4 cups of water on an international trip (220 Volt) and was very careful with it, especially keeping the heating coil immersed while plugged into the electricity. I went to heat a 5th cup of water and guess what?....no longer working. I bought it especially for the international voltage feature. From my experience, I cannot recommend this product.

I read reviews that said it did not work and I still took my chances and ordered the water heater at ALSAMAUSA and hoped it will work for me but sure enough the water heater was dead on arrival. I used immersion heater before and I know how to follow instructions so that it was definitely DOA. I returned the item but wasted my money for shipping and return postage ($5.70+$5.41). The seller received my water heater few days ago and I'm still waiting for my refund. What a wast of time and money.

UPDATE: I filed A-to-z Guarantee claim to Amazon and they refunded the item price and shipping so that my loss was limited to the cost for the return shipping (postage + certified mail = $5.41).

Pro: Works on either 110 or 220 volts, without manually switching the heater.

Con: (Minor) 110 volt heating affords only 125 watts of heating power, bringing a large cup of cool water to a simmer in twelve to 14 minutes.

Pro: On 220 volts, other conditions the same as above, simmer is reached in about three minutes due to 500 watts heating power.

Pro: Solid construction, plug is not cheap, wire appeared well-insulated, but not unduly stiff.

Con: No cup cliff, although this is not a grievous error...

My unit quit working mid-tea cup heating, and I was dissatisfied because I thought I had only had it about six months. Amazon showed me that I received it about 25 months ago. Use was generally light, mainly onboard cruise ships, with both 110 and 220 volts used. Owned and used a bit over two years, but probably not over about 150 times, although the unit has likely traveled 50,000 miles and suffered a few light knocks, but no rough handling.

Performance and calendar service life = Five stars. Roughly 150 uses until failure = Three stars.

OVERALL: Four Stars. Will buy again.
