It warms up well. It's kind of weird to use so follow the instructions because it may turn off automatically. I would NOT recoommend it for the workplace, though. It's very very loud.

Installed this today. Let it warm up good and threw a voltmeter across it at the terminals, which were connected to the gas control. Moving the thermopile in it's holder in the ventless gas fireplace -for more or less pilot flame exposure, the best milivolt output measurement I got was 525mv with the thermopile at it's max exposure with my current setup and clearances. I could not scoot the pile up any further for more flame exposure as it's base hub stopped the travel. From my experience with several brands of thermopiles over the years including the really expensive ones, this is a decent reading of 525mv.

From here I want to see how long it remains functional compared to those costing almost twice as much. So far so good. Easily operates my gas valve on the fireplace.

Today is 7-14-2012. I used this thermopile through the winter, and have so far found this to be one of the stronger generators I have used over 15 years. I will buy this again when necessary. I see no need to spend more on the other brands, and some of the expensive name brands I have used have failed far too soon.

We had to replace a generator that the repairman broke when diagnosing a faulty gas valve. It functions well with the gas logs. No problems and easy to install in place of the old one.

I bought this thermostat because the temperature on the top landing of my stairs where the original thermostat was located was totally different than in our master bedroom and kids' room. With this thermostat system, the temperature is based on wherever I put the wireless unit. We keep it unmounted on the nightstand. Here are some clarifications of things I could not find elsewhere or took a long time to find out.

1. A common wire is needed. This is the wire that provides electricity to the thermostat. Not all thermostats need this wire nor are all HVAC systems wired with one. Some basic units do not have a common wire. An easy way to figure out if you have one is to pop off the face of your current thermostat and see if there is anything connected to the terminal marked with a "C". If not, you do not have a common wire or at least it is not connected. If you have some spare wires, you can easily connect the other end to the C terminal on your furnace. Without the C wire, this unit will not work.

2. The system is easy to install. I'm no electrician or even much of a handyman, but simple logic makes this an easy install. Just put the wire in the C terminal on your current thermostat to C terminal on this unit. W to W, and so on.

3. The return air sensor is not necessary. If you don't know what this is, don't worry.

4. The large grey piece with the red on the bottom is what mounts to the wall where your existing thermostat/wires are. It's pretty large compared to a thermostat, but it doesn't look bad. The unit with the controls and green face is what can be moved around to any room and the thermostat/furnace will operate based on the temperature wherever this unit is.

Installation and programming was very simple. Only negative was that the thermostat and controller won't reconnect after power cycle. You have to manually push the connect button. There is a duct sensor for this issue.

Just installed the unit installs easily out of the box. I spent about 15 minutes to mount the base on my wall and connect all the wires. I didn't install the return air sensor it's optional. I also din't mount the thermostat I prefer it to be mobile. I can now put it in my bedroom for more accurate temperature control, or bring it downstairs if we're all there. Very flexible. The kit works a lot better than a 20-dollar basic thermostat which takes some time to "think" and start or stop the system.

This is a great product. Installation was simple and it has lowered my heating bills since I was able to move the thermostat out of the coldest room in the house. I would recommend this to anyone.

We had a wired thermostat in the hallway of the bedroom wing of our home. My wife was wanting the thermostat moved from the hallway to the master bedroom. I thought a wireless thermostat would allow that move and also allow for the thermostat to be moved again if that became necessary.

My original idea was to replace the wired thermostat in the hallway with the Equipment Interface Module (EIM). This would be an easy swap-out and since the wiring was already in place would minimize the time needed for the job. It should be noted that the thermostat wire I had in my wall had all the wires needed to hook up everything in this kit including the return air sensor wiring. That may not be the case for others.

When I pulled the EIM out of the box I realized that mounting it in the hallway wasn't an option. This thing is pretty big around 8 inches square and about an inch deep. Being grey, red & large, it didn't exactly blend into the wall. I didn't need my spouse to tell me that this thing wasn't going to work in the hallway even I could figure that out.

The good news is the EIM can go almost anywhere. So I mounted it on a basement floor joist, below the bedrooms and not far from the furnace. Installation was straight forward. As noted in other reviews, the EIM requires a connection that some thermostats do not the "C" connection. This is the 24 volt ground connection and was labeled "T" on my furnace.

After I installed the components, I programed the thermostat and everything is working like a champ. My wife is very pleased with the ability to place the thermostat anywhere she wants it.

I purchased this product at Christmas and my husband and I have enjoyed it very much so far. It throws off just enough extra heat to keep our living room warm so that we don't have to turn up our electric heat during these cold nights. I also love the ambiance it creates. I am very happy with the product so far.

Great Little Fireplace. We love the look of the warm fire through the glass. It can be used just to look at the fire light or with the heater feature on. We use ours year round-even in the summer evenings with the heat feature off.

Honest reviews on World Marketing Winchester II Factory Direct

I ordered this faux fireplace heater for my son's room. The reviews were solid, and the heating system was fire safe.

However, they fail to mention that the "oak finish" is cheap veneer, not oak.

And NO ONE mentioned anywhere in the advertisement here that the unit arrives UNASSEMBLED!!!!

I am concerned because the unit I bought two years ago from AMAZON was solid oak (not a cheap finish), and it came fully assembled.

I cannot yet comment on the heater itself, but I did want to warn prospective buyers that the quality of "oak finish" has been downgraded without clarification or any change in the language.

I will add an update in a few days after we have had a chance to use it.

***********************************************************************************

I have now had a chance to assemble the device, and to use it in my son's room for more than a week of cool weather.

First, the assembly is not easy. There are 80 pieces in the box, mainly screws (55 main screws, + 3 smaller ones), so be prepared to dedicate at least an hour to the work.

I was not impressed with the durability of the heater once constructed. It is heavy, and it is not designed for major relocations once it is constructed.

On the other hand, and despite the faux oak finish, it really is a beautiful addition to my son's room. He LOVES it--and uses the false flame as a night light to hypnotize him to sleep. It is quite nice to sit in a darkened room and stair at the "fire." The heater and thermostat also work well. My ten-year-old was able to operate the controls out of the box. Another plus.

As a result, I have raised the review from 2 stars to 4 stars. I still take off some credit for the faux finish, the lack of warning about assembly required. But the product does overall deliver the quality you hope and expect.

This unit is very sturdy and beautiful... but you better be prepared to turn up the television! The heater is quite loud. I owned another brand unit for years it was not nearly as loud. I am keeping it because it is so attractive.

Researched everything I could find (including the reviews here on Amazon.) It seemed the most consistent complaints were about the over-flowing water pan and the noise. Kinda like a baby: it pees and it howls. So I knew what I was in for.

On the water: I'm not gonna criticize the machine for working so effectively on dehumidifying that it overflows quickly (although the manual does mention once that it has a "small" back-up tank to handle the water that isn't evaporated out the exhaust hose.) My solution was this: first, I placed an old metal t.v. tray with a lip all the way around it (to catch minor leaks at the base, though there haven't been any), on top of a simple step-stool (with a broad base.) The unit sits on the t.v. tray. That elevates the base 12 inches off the ground. This gives enough height to simply plop the drain-hose into the top of a one-gallon jug (I'm using an Arizona green tea jug 'cause it's a thicker plastic and unlikely to deteriorate. Bad for landfills, great for my application.)

Almost good enough, but it easily fills two gallons a day (if I run it constantly), here in Alabama. It only took one overflow when I forgot to check it, & I picked up a 4-gallon clear plastic 16" X 11" X 7"-high Sterilite pan for three bucks. With the gallon jug placed inside the pan (since that's easier to empty when I remember it), I have a couple days of 24-hour running without emptying, before an overflow makes it to my carpet. And I placed a regular school-type ruler between the t.v. tray & the step-stool to provide just enough backward tilt to ensure that the water would flow properly to the rear. Not too much: those wheels roll really well. In my placement, the exhaust hose (nearly at its shortest) stabilizes the unit.

Now, I know all this bucket-and-pan stuff ain't purty. But geez, there's this big ol' humongous exhaust hose right above it, so what's a little bucket or two? And it's clear plastic: if it really bothers me I can put some decals on it, right?

BTW, the hose drains MUCH better when you remember to remove the plug.

For the noise: yup, kinda noisy. But I sit about three feet in front of it while I do online videoconference-tutoring, and I usually can get away with using the speaker on my phone, except for my quieter students. And they don't seem to hear the noise. And it's no louder than my window unit. "Quiet" and "Noisy" are subjective in practice, so that's the most I can say.

About the exhaust hose: First, I really don't see how people can easily move the unit around, because if you're not careful, the hose can pop out of its window connector. That might have happened to me, though, because I was torquing it at awkward angles to try to fit it into my space. The hose is very stiff (a.k.a. seems well made.) Fortunately, nothing broke. I'm a cheapskate and read that the longer the hose, the more electricity portables will use, so I do wish I had a SHORTER hose. And although I'm sure there's more efficient wraps out there, I used what I had on hand, bubble wrap, to thoroughly wrap the hose (since air is a great insulator). It does put out quite a bit of heat along its entire length, so wrapping it well sends all the heat to the outdoors where you want it. I also placed a chunk of rubber insulation between the bottom of the duct where it attaches to the window panel, and my window sill. The exhaust hose puts out so much heat I wasn't sure what it would do over time to the cheap faux-wood on my mobilehome's window sill.

About the window-connector: pretty easy to connect. I only needed the main panel and one extender, which I simply scored at one end to break off the piece necessary to make it fit. (It took awhile to score it deeply enough, but I had a nice phone chat with my sister while I did it. Was too lazy to go fire up my saw.) The base happens to fit snugly down into my window track. I used an insulating wrap for a 1/2" pipe, cut open lengthwise, and fitted it over the top of the panel. This keeps out the water, wind and bugs (since my window doesn't close squarely across the panel, and I wouldn't trust it would be waterproof even if it closed evenly.) It also will still allow me to open the window, not needing to silicon nor tape the junction. The plastic of the window-connectors isn't as thick as a wall, but it's better-made than the cheap accordion gap-fillers I've seen for window air conditioners.

Remote control: works fine, though of course the batteries that come with it didn't work. Neither did the twoto three-year-old batteries I tried first. Fortunately I had a newer pack on hand, and those worked. Don't lose the remote: it provides a couple functions that aren't on top of the unit, such as varying fan speeds.

Modes: 3 basic ones: fan only, dehumidifier only, and "cool" i.e. the air conditioner. If you put it on Auto, it depends on the temperature: below 68 degrees it's fan only. 68-73 degrees, it's fan only IF you'd previously had it on fan only, otherwise it dehumidifies. The dehumidify mode also puts out surprisingly cool air, and makes it much less muggy inside (deep South, remember). 74-79 degrees, it dehumidifies regardless of prior settings. And above that, it goes to air conditioning (which of course also removes water from the air.)

So I can see how people would complain about the fan never shutting off. For THAT, you need to use the timer. You can set the timer to turn the unit on, or to turn it off.

And for the four-million-dollar question: does it work? My workroom is about 13' by 25', and is completely open to the similarly-sized kitchen AND my even bigger living room. I have a powerful computer that puts out a lot of heat and needs to stay cool, and I get hot flashes, myself (I know, TMI.) But I'd only been using a window air conditioner, which by itself helped but wasn't enough on the really hot, humid days here. It still got to 90-95 degrees inside if it went over 100 outside. I need my computer not to fry. So now, my computer and work table are right in front of both air conditioners, and together, they provide excellent cooling both for my computer (I have software that monitors the quad-core temps)and me. I don't use my ceiling fans, so when I stand (I'm 5'7") I can feel the warmer air just above my head. And it's warmer the farther away you get from the sweet spot. But when you walk inside from the 98-degree sunshine, that huge space is noticeably cooler about 85 degrees when farthest from the coolers. That's certainly livable. And sitting at my work table, with them blowing right on me and providing cool air for my computer...I'm in heaven.

UPDATE: 6/12/2012 Still happy with it, though I've discovered that true Alabama humidity (which hadn't yet set in when I wrote the first review) yields about a gallon of water from the hose every 4-5 hours. Have been grateful MANY times for the 4-gallon overflow container mentioned above. Much of the time only need to put the unit on dehumidify, as the air still is so cool from it that it's helpful simply to have all that sweat-inducing water removed from the air. Remote control seems to go through batteries rather quickly, but then, my pack of "new" batteries is nearly two years old.

UPDATE 7/18/12 Okay, I've been using it 12-16 hours or more daily, now. Hasn't failed yet. On truly humid days it pulls out a gallon of water every 3-4 hours. I really like the ease of adjusting the louvers: one set to direct up/down, the second for left-right. Lets me easily choose whether to cool my monitor or me. Still often just run the dehumidifier, but turn on the cooler when it really starts to heat up. I'll try to remember to put one more update in at the end of summer. Toodles, all, and thanks for the nice comments! And no, I don't work for the company! :))

I purchased 2 of these a couple weeks ago. They were shipped very quickly. They were easy to set up. The units are small but nicely built. They cool very well and are very quite. The remotes are great and the features are better than larger units. My only complaint is the evaporation system really can't handle humid conditions very well. I started it up and within 2 hours the bucket full system went off and I had to empty the unit. After it did it again in the same amount of time,I ended up elevating the unit and puting a bucket behind it so I don't have to empty it as often. This is the only drawback from a fine little unit.
