I have a Sears dryer model, and when I needed to replace this part, I checked the Sears website for the parts I needed. For one third of the price at Sears, I could even afford to make mistakes and still come up ahead by buying at Amazon.

After replacing just one of the two parts, and have it burn up again in about a week, I realized there was an *orange tag* near the part slot, advising to *always* replace both parts at the same time. So I bought the same kit again, and replaced both parts, as advised.

I also read that this part can burn out if the output duct is clogged by too much lint, so I also cleaned up the output duct when installing the second kit. It has been two weeks now and the machine still works well. I am a happy customer.

I needed the thermal cut out when our Whirlpool dryer broke down. The order came in a small package. We were able to get the dryer back in action.

Would recommend, however the heating coil element was the issue. BUT if you can troubleshoot with a meter to determine if these parts have failed before purchasing. Would for the cost of attempting to troubleshoot yourself purchase.

I couldn't get at my coil element and to do so required that the drum be removed to replace. For my area (Norhtern N.J.) the cost of the repair -service call and parts were $ 260.00 (year 2013).

Honest reviews on Thermal Cut Out Kit for Whirlpool Sears 3399848, 279816

The parts worked like a dream. The key to these replacement parts is to replace the parts on your drier with the parts in the kit even if some appear to be still in working condition.

The price was extremely reasonable and the delivery time was much quicker than I anticipated.

Same symptoms Kenmore dryer blows, no heat. No conductivity through thermal fuse. Exhaust duct blocked (not cleaned for 2 years). I have close to 30 ft. rigid duct with booster so cleaning it is a chore. Of course had to go and clean it... Genuine part is over 30 bucks, not big deal but burns as fast as this one.

This set is worked quite well. First one I bought did not show up at all, had to order another one in two weeks while handling issues with the first. To be quite honest, there was nothing to handle, seller refunded money, then sent another one for trouble. Oh well, will use it in 3 years when the duct is clogged again.

One thing to check is cut off temperature on the smaller piece. Should much with your dryer. Mine had 325F and replacement is the same. If your dryer is higher it will likely blow thermal fuse again quite soon. And keep you ducts clean!

Review of Sunbeam Microplush Heated Blanket

My only complaint is that the description and picture mentioned NOTHING about dual zones and two controls. I specifically purchased this because I don't want two zones I sleep alone in my queen sized bed and I usually sprawl diagonally. I have no need for dual zones. So I was disappointed when I saw the second remote in there. And I also don't like the controls. Not because there's anything wrong with them, but simply because with my setup, I hang them through slats on the headboard. With the other sunbeam controllers, with the dial and numbers on the "top" surface, those end up right where I need them and can read them when on the headboard. These have the number pointing straight down then.

Other than that, it works great. The preheat function doesn't really seem too necessary to me, but unlike some out there, it's an OPTIONAL setting on this unit. You can turn it on, adjust the temp where you want it, and leave it go at that. Or you can do that, then hit the preheat to speed it up apparently, but I didn't notice much of a speed up, and when I tried it while laying in the bed, I didn't get melted like some reviewers complained about on some models with preheat.

It's a very soft blanket, very comfortable. You *can* feel the wires in there when you're looking for them, but you don't feel anything from them when you're just laying in bed with this on top of you, and a comforter on top of that.

Heat up time is good and there's no dead spots or anything. I've been running with it on 7 or so. Auto shutoff works well. And unlike some units I've seen recently, there's no hum or buzzing at all... (One problem I had with the heated mattress pad this is replacing).

I bought this last year around the holidays and loved it. I have severe arthritis and the warmth of getting into bed helped me fall asleep so fast..and stay asleep. Because of the reduced pain, I used it all year..just turned the air conditioner down at night in the summer. Eventually it became less and less warm and now it almost nonexistant. The bed never feels warm when getting in. Yet, during the night, it still does have minimal heat but barely. Just very disappointed and really expected it to last at least a few years. My mother is still using her Sunbeam electric blanket from 20 years ago. Sad how products just aren't what they used to be. Hats off to those marketing fellows...guess thats the point..create a product and make sure it only lasts a little while so they will have to buy a new one!

This blanket replaces a 10+ year old Sunbeam blanket that has served us well. The pre-heat feature works quite well and the bed is nice and toasty after a very short time. The only real complaint I have is that, even at the lowest setting, the heat output is a bit too much. Perhaps this is somewhat aggravated by the comforter we have on top of the blanket. Other things to note -The old blanket had a type of control that could be hung on the bed rails, out of the way. These controls are table top mount with no provision for hanging. The instruction book that came with it covers a whole family of different Sunbeam models and takes some studying to figure out what features this blanket has and how to operate / program the controls. Overall, a nice soft blanket that puts out some serious heat for those chilly nights. One mystery -why does the price vary significantly depending on the color you choose?

This replaced an old 3 tap Beverage Aire Commercial kegerator I had go out on me. I didn't want to spend $1500.00+ for a new commercial quality one, so I opted for this unit. I'll list the Pros and Cons as I see them.

First the Pros...

1) Has (2) taps.

2) Looks good.

3) Good range of temperatures (approx. 33-40 degrees F.)

4) Uses half the power of my old kegerator.

5) Actually hold (3) home brew kegs (5 gallon).

6) Good quality dual gauge regulator.

7) So far seems to be reliable.

Now the Cons...

1) Co2 tank is too small (2.5 lb). It should come with a 5 lb. tank. (I have a couple of 15 lb. tanks so not a big deal for me)

2) Cheap quality beer lines. (I recommend you replace them w/ 5-6 feet of 3/16" I.D. high quality beer line)

3) Cheap quality gas line.

4) Standard brass faucets. (I replaced w/ my S.S. Perlick forward seal faucets)

5) Black plastic top seems cheap.

6) Drip tray does not fit properly around the beer tower. And it just sits movable, not fixed on top.

7) Casters are too small and don't rotate well.

Of course these are just my opinions and going from a commercial quality kegerator to a residential type, I have lots of nit pick things about it.

All in all, I would recommend this to people who would like a little variety instead of the single tap single beer at a time.

Overall I'm happy with this kegerator. It keeps the beer cold and was easy to setup. I will add a few caveats. First, I'm using homebrew corny kegs so I did not really test or use the tubing or keg fittings that they provide. Maybe I will some day, but that wasn't my intent. Second, the beer tower will not keep the lines cold. This is not unique to this product, but similar for all kegerators in this price range. (Hot air rises) I built a cheap fan to circulate cold air there and things are working great now (just look for cooling keg tower on the internet). Third, for me in particular, it took a lot of trial and error with keg pressures and beer tubing length to get a good poor without it being all foam. So, while I feel the product is good, know that it is probably not as simple is just buying it and it will be perfect from day one...

There were two negatives from this kegerator to call out. First, the CO2 cylinder is only 2.5lbs which won't last very long. I already had a 5lb one, so I can live with it. Second, the taps are not great quality and are prone to being hard to move. My learning shows that this won't happen if purchasing higher quality taps, but it's still usable so that can wait. At least this can be upgraded later.

I ordered the double tap Kegorator for my husband for our anniversary. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. There's nothing like coming home to an ice cold beer. To me, beer tastes so amazing out of a tap versus a can. The only one slight downfall is our region doesn't offer many beer selections in the small "torpedo" size kegs and if I knew that before I ordered I probably would have just ordered single tap instead.

ICM491 Single-Phase Line Voltage Monitor NEW
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I have no way of recording how many times this circuit has activated but since installing it there have been numerous power interruptions(10-20 maybe more). Salt accumulating on powerline insulators and such are being blamed for this activity due to the severe drought along the coastal areas of Texas.

I guess I got a jump on the situation by recognizing that my new higher efficient A/C wasn't delaying after these glitches earlier in the season. I think the thermostat is supposed to delay a restart after a dropout but evidently is not fast enough. Also there could be some erratic or undetermined interruptions. The ICM491 kills the relay @ .05+ sec. I think that is faster than two complete cycles. My older A/C had a circuit for this and it lasted 32+ years without losing a compressor. I needed a delay ckt. that was powered by the feeding 240v. I had to do some searching to find this unit and finally found it described ,I think at ICM's site. Found the best price at Amazon and soon had it in my hands.

All I needed to install it in about an hour was four female 1/4in. quick disconnect terminal connectors because the unit had only male 1/4in. spade connectors, 4 different colored 12in. wires, a small twist on connector and a roll of black electrical tape to wrap all twistons to secure them and protect from the enviornment.

To install I waited till A/C finished its cycle and turned the thermostat off-then killed the ckt. breaker in main box and at outside condenser unit. Checked to make sure voltages were off and hooked up the wires marked for 240v of the ICM941 one each to the red and black feed wires from ckt. breaker (polarity didn't matter). Broke one of the twiston connectors from the thermostat, connected one wire from the ICM941 n/c (normally closed) terminal and the other wire from ICM941 n/c(normally closed) terminal to the other wire that was separated by the break. Set the voltage for 120/240 and the delay time to 2min. Turned thermostat on and main ckt. breaker handed my timer stopwatch and energized the local sw/ckt breaker and timer. Got 2mins. 17sec. delay before compressor started. Reasoning for using normally closed contacts on the ICM941 is that is the position provided when the unit is energized. When voltage drops out .05sec. this ckt is opened and will not close to start the compressor again until 2-3mins. appx. (compressor unload time).

This is the 2nd one I have bought the 1st from amazon. I have it installed on my A/C compressor to protect from power surges. It has saved my compressor 2 times that I know of. Previously I had lost 4 compressors to power surges.

We got this as a dedicated thermostat for our electric radiant flooring in our master bath remodel. It works well enough but I just can't say that it's the easiest to use. Bear in mind that this is the result of an acquisition by Honeywell so perhaps in the future they will redo the controls to be more user-friendly. I'm a network engineer so I figured it out well enough but I'm not thrilled with it's operation.

We'll likely do another small in-floor electric system when we remodel our other bathroom and I'll research alternatives at that time.

Granted I'm not unhappy but considering that this is a programmable thermostat ... I expected more ease of use. At least I can be happy at how much flexibility this model offers. By comparison, the Lux Tx500 (I own 3 of these programmable thermostats) are a SNAP to use and intuitive.

These work as they should and look neat in our bathrooms. My husband has figured them out easy enough and tinkers with it here and there. I however, think they are a tad bit complicated. Not that I've taken much time to figure them, I hate that kind of thing. Just wish things were made a little more simple. But they come on in the morning and the evenings when we mostly use the bathrooms upstairs as he has programmed them and if I go in to get ready at an off time for when they are programmed I just click the up button to heat them up and it just takes a few minutes, not long at all.

I live in South Dakota, and for those of you who don't knowit can get VERY COLD here. Right now we're having a little "arctic blast" as the weather service calls it and our high temp today was -1 degrees Farenheit, with wind chills 30-40 below. We have a nice, but older 1960's home with old insulation and windows, plus hardwood floors which makes it harder to keep the rooms warm. This heater is a new model for Delonghi, so there weren't any reviews out there when I bought it so I took a chance on it, and I'm glad I did. It kicks out alot of heat, has a programmable thermostat, and has the option of oscillating which spreads the heat around quite well. As far as the loudness goes, yes it is a bit loud for some people, but certainly not even close to a hair dryer!! . But you do get used to it and its great for white noise if you need that to sleep at night. The only thing I dislike about it is that it beeps every time you change a setting, or move it, which is a little annoying. Overall I like this heater VERY much, it puts out alot more heat than our other Delonghithe DCH1030 (smaller, non-oscillating, no remote, not programmable)and even that one is a good heater. We use the DCH4590ER in the evenings after work in the living room while keeping the house thermostat at about 67 degrees. When its time for bed we move it to the bedroom and set the house thermostat set at 62 degrees to save on gas. In the bedroom we set the DCH4590ER's thermostat set at 67, sometimes 66 degrees, and we are very comfortable under our down comforter. We put our Delonghi oil filled heater in the living room at night for the cats. It keeps the chill off the room nicely and keeps the house heat from kicking on as often. The trick to using these heaters is to not expect them to warm up an ice cold room instantly. It won't happen. But if you just want to keep your house thermostat set lower to save on your heat bill, and use these as supplemental heat sources, they are great. I will update this when I get my next months bills and see if these electric heaters saved me any money.

I have an elderly family member with a lower-circulatory problem and limited mobility, so we needed something to heat localized areas of the house to keep her comfortable. This space heater remote controlled, adjustable thermostat filled the requirements perfectly. Unlike other reviewers, I have no problem with the fan noise -it's a small unit and has to "blow" the air -not terribly loud, but noticeable, definitely not a deterrent for us. The added safety feature (turns off when tipped over) works and has saved us from a couple of mishaps (inadvertent bumps with the wheelchair). It works well in relatively small spaces, heats in seconds, and has proven to be very reliable so far. I'm considering one for the home office (for use in the cooler mornings/evenings).

Everything about this heater sounds great: 24 hour timer, digital display, remote etc... But there is one drawback I should have noticed that was omitted from the desciption -The Noise. This tiny heater is about as loud as a personal hair dryer.

Loved this heater. We used it in our baby's nursery to keep the heat regulated overnight while the rest of the house was cooler. It worked great and we felt safe using it. Then after less than a year of use it just stopped working. No reason for it to have stopped. Very odd. So, that issue was disappointing.

The heater does provide adequate heat (one star for living up to its name), and the tip switch works (one more star for that feature working). Not suitable for quiet environment. Thermostat sucks.

My 10+ year old space heater started to rattle this winter, loud enough to wake me up at night. So I need a replacement. This DeLonghi will not work out. The thermostat control is just inadequate. The unit requires too much manual input. Lowering the thermostat below the desired temp did not turn off the heat. I had to switch modes to turn off the heat, wait for it to cool down, then crank up the thermostat again when I felt a chill. It will turn off by itself when the ambient room temp is above the thermostat setting, but that won't happen until spring.

Smaller nits to pic: I choose this Delonghi because it is the same size and has similar features of my old unit. I expected some wind noise, but it is louder than I am used to. The all-seeing-eye makes a nice night light but not the easiest display to read. The unit BEEPS each time you press the remote. The tone is just about right for a fire alarm, only a little softer. On the topic of fire and space heaters, the tip switch is one of my criteria for choosing this unit, and it works.

Sale Price: $73.72

I own 3 vornado heaters, including this one, and they have been the best i've owned by a wide margin. here's why:

* they fan enough air to mix the room air and maintain a more uniform temperature (their advertising is true in that respect)

* no 'hot toaster zone' in front of the heater, with the rest of the room cold

* it is quiet

* the thermostat works! the heater puts out less heat after the room has warmed up

* this heater may appear to take longer to warm up a room for one reason: it is heating up the whole room, not just a small zone immediately surrounding the unit.

* It does use nearly 1500 watts, which is the maximum a heater can consume to be UL approved on a conventional 15Amp household outlet/circuit. The only way it puts out less heat is if you account for a more active fan. The reason the heat feels less when you put your hand in front of the unit is due to the larger amound of air being fanned. The total heat output (heat per cubic foot of air moved X the number of cubic feet of air moved) is the same... just with more even results

for best results: it helps to think of this heater as an 'ambient' heater:

(the following would work for pretty much any heater)

*position the heater in one corner of the room, preferably near the coldest wall... it will suck in the cold air, warm it and push it into the room

*do not aim the heater toward any sitting area... fanning air always makes it feel cooler (summer fan cooling anyone?) and will give the false impression that the heater is not working... when it is in fact warming the room

* if your heater has a temperature sensitive, variable speed fan: set the fan on high and it will not cycle on/off... it will also mix more air in the room and in doing so, maintain a more uniform temperature

Notes:

* I typically let my furnace bring the house to 69 degrees (from it's daytime setting of 58) when I get home at night and let the heater keep it at that temp afterwards. Even in Chicago winters, the furnace usually doesn't come on after the first run (my main floor is an open area, 700 sq. feet, with 7 windows and 2 doors... with only generic insulation... in Chicagoland)

* no space heater is considered 'whole house capable' in winter conditions. A 1500 Watt unit just cannot put out the BTU's a furnace can. It is not realistic to expect a space heater to quickly bring a whole house from cold to toasty warm in a short time.

On the lower side... Vornado seems to have had quality issues with the manufacturing of their heaters.. They've even had a recall on another model of theirs (which i own) due to faulty (read cheap?) solder points

So my rating for this heater is:

5 stars based on features and performance

-1 star for reduced trust factor

---------------------------------------------------

4 stars

It's very important not to get confused (as I suspect some reviewers have been) between two very similar Vortex models, the VH2 and the DVH. The DVH does indeed break almost instantly and should be avoided. This model, the VH2, on the other hand, is perfectly adequate for the price. No small electric heater in this price range is going to do a great job of quickly heating a large drafty room on an extremely cold day, but the VH2 does a find job. You will have to be patient however: it will take several hours to notice much of an effect in large dining room or kitchen. But if you wait, you will find that the VH2 gets the job done (and is quiet as well).

Best Deals on Vornado VH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater

I live in an old drafty icebox of a house built in the 1930's. Even when I run my gas heater, it doesn't do much good. I needed a space heater, and bad! I was wary of buying a space heater as I figured it couldn't help, but I'm glad I got this one! I read the instructions, followed their recommendations

for a large room and in about 15 minutes it took the chill off and made it so much more comfortable! It even reached into the surrounding hallway and dining room. I'm quite pleased. As a pet owner, I also appreciate the smaller vents that keep curious kitty cat's out of the heater. My cats all congregate by it and there's no way for them to get inside of it.

Honest reviews on Vornado VH2 Whole Room Vortex Heater

I purchased the Vornado VH2 Heater, but I returned it to the store after a few days.

My wife and I owned a Lasko Ceramic Element 30" Pedestal heater for years, but this season it finally died. We chose the Vornado VH2 Vortex heater after reading some of the positive reviews.

We live in the Northeast, have kind of a drafty apartment and we try to keep the heat low or off to save energy. The space heater goes into whatever room we are in and we use it to heat that room while we are there. Or we turn it on in the bedroom in the morning while we get ready for the day.

After a few days, it was clear that the Vornado VH2 was not going to cut it. The unit blows heat, but it is very tepid compared to our other heater.

We did notice that the Vornado VH2 (as many positive reviews here have mentioned) gives a very ambient warmth meaning that it seems to spread the heat about the room very evenly. However, be warned, it takes a loooong time for it to even raise the temperature a little bit.

I am confident in saying that this is NOT the heater for certain uses. For instance, if you have a home office and you like to use a heater to aim warmth your workstation area, this would not do the trick. Also, it isn't the heater for a fast warm-up. The Vornado VH2's big failure was in our morning routine. Usually, during the winter, we wake up, put on the heater, go into the bathroom to get ready and when return to the bedroom the heater has it nice and toasty. Well, the first morning using the Vornado was a shock it felt as if nothing had changed in the room.

After a couple of days, I went out and bought another Lasko heater, (same model as we had before,) brought it home and did a side by side comparison. NO CONTEST. I immediately boxed up the Vornado and returned it.

*****On a safety note: The plug for the Vornado VH2 seemed to not sit well in the outlet. When I would go to unplug it after using it, I would notice that the plug would kind of be hanging down, just a little, out of the outlet. This doesn't seem to be the case with our new heater, or our old one.

Not sure if there was a faulty batch that other people here received, but this will be the 3rd season using this product.. and it is the perfect answer to heating up a small room quickly. A Large room does indeed take more time, especially if there are open doors or wide openings in the room. It is not meant to be on 24 hours a day so maybe thats why other people are having trouble. The internal thermostat ensures you won't be wasting any more energy than you need to. About to buy my 2nd one right now..

The hot water heater is pretty good quality, the thermostat and electronics is got to be the cheapest and poorest quality I've ever seen. It's plastic parts that snap into place. After 6 months the on/off switched melted. I went to Home Depot and replaced with a large switch. The instalation is straight foward. I would recommend this even with the poor electronic parts because of the great price and quality solar hot water tank.
