Its nice because it does the job of a larger heater without the footprint, it can sit in a corner, by a desk, or even in the middle of a room and not dominate the space. The remote is a nice touch, the heater itself is very high quality, I have had this for almost a year now and works just fine.

Great heater! It's portable and lightweight! I love it. I use to use it a lot but my new puppy chewed the electrical cord on it so now I need to get it fixed. It's a great heater for the money!

I had a Lasko heater for about 5 years and it recently died. This one is similar to the old one. Works great!!!

I have always used Lasko products in regards to heaters and fans, but Lasko as a whole, has incredibly decreased in product quality and performance. I understand that the title indicates that this certain model is a heater, but with all three other Lasko products (2001 and older) I own, they also work as fans capable of emitting cold air. Also, they have safety features with a sensor underneath so that if the unit falls over, it automatically turns off, along with another sensor in front that also turns it off if something is too close to the heater. And all three also come with more sleep time frames. This particular model is missing all three features and it was more expensive then the others. So I give it three stars for efficiently working as advertised, but not coming equipped with the features that gave rise to Lasko.

This wine chiller is great for the price I paid. I like the slim width of the unit, the digital temperature controls, and the interior light is a nice touch (the light is not quite bright enough though).

It seems well made and is very quiet. Nice job Haier!

I ordered the Haier 8-Bottle wine cooler as a test of the Haier brand! With so many brands to choose from, and many negative reviews of most wine coolers, I didn't want to invest in one that I would not be happy with, and the price of this cooler is a steal! After 8 months of experience with the Haier I must say that I'm very satisfied with this wine cooler! I've had zero problems! Even after leaving home for two months this summer, where temps inside my home reached 90 degrees, the cooler worked great! I'm now looking to purchase a larger Haier, 8 bottles is OK, but I'm looking to now move up to 32...!

Our Wine Enthusiast cooler stopped working after less than a year. After some research and shopping around, we bought the Haier 8 bottle cooler for red wine. (We own a much more expensive Cusinart 8 bottle for white wine.) Although it takes a little while to reach the desired temperature, the Haier remains constant and accurate. It is a little noisy but we don't mind since its in the basement. Delivery was prompt and we are happy with this product. Good machine at a great price.

The dimensions for this Haier HVTM08ABS are incorrect on the website and on the box.

The actual height is 18", which is almost 2" taller than what is stated on the box (16 1/5") and on the website (also 16 1/5").

The actual width is 9 15/16", which is close enough to 9.9", which is on the box and the website.

The actual depth is 20 3/8", which is about an inch less than the 21.3", which is on the box and the website.

The actual dimensions are: 9-15/16" Wide, 20-3/8" Deep, 18" High.

The dimensions on the Amazon product page are: 9.9 x 16.2 x 21.3 inches. (as of the date of this review)

The dimensions printed on the product box are 9 9/10" Wide, 21 3/10" Deep, 16 1/5" High.

They actually have the wrong dimensions on the box! My cabinets are 17 3/4" above my countertops, so this will not fit.

I purchased this product with one thing in mind, 22 ounce bottles of beer. Most beers are best served in the 50 degree temperature range, and I often found myself overchilling beers in my full size fridge. Frustrated by this, I set out to find a solution.

I wanted a beer fridge, but it appears that most beer fridges are designed with cans in mind. I drink a lot of craft beers, so the majority of my beer comes in 22 ounce bottle form, or just regular 12 ounce bottles. Rarely does a craft beer come in a can. This product satisfied my needs by allowing me to chill 8x 22 ounce bottles with ease.

The price for this product is perfect. I snagged it when Amazon dropped down to $85 for one weekend, and I couldn't be happier about the price paid. I would have gladly paid a little more, if there was additional space for some 12 ounce bottles too, but I know that's asking a bit much.

As for features, the touchscreen temperature gauge is easy to read and use. There is a light inside the unit that can be accessed via the touch screen, however it doesn't really serve much of a purpose. The bottles are so close together that a little LED light shining from above won't do much. The unit itself is quiet and cool. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, beer or wine drinkers alike!

I bought this item, because it's design and description sounded like a good thing. I received it, set it up, and read the directions. THE VERY VAGUE, and poorly written directions. In the product sales description (one line), it said there is an adjustable thermostat. THERE IS NOT ONE AT ALL! There is an INTERNAL thermostat that sets itself whenever it decides to turn ITSELF on or off. There is NO temperature read out, there is no control for you, the operator to set and tell it to continue on until the room reaches this temp. One of the features that attracted me was that there are two wattage settings...1500W or 900W. I thought, this would be great, when the room gets warm enough, I can lower the wattage setting, and save on electricity costs. AGAIN, YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE WATTAGE SETTING. IT'S ALL INTERNAL...the MACHINE does it when it wants to! I will type the description right out of their manual... "Economic Energy Saving Function (ECO)-When the room temperature reaches a certain point, the ECO green light will switch on, indicating that one-third of the power has been cut-off automatically to save energy." Problem is...IT NEVER STAYS AT FULL WATTAGE...within 5 minutes of giving off heat at a full 1500 watts, it will switch to the lower wattage...NO MATTER WHAT TEMP THE ROOM IS. I have Econo-Heat Flat Panel Wall Heaters in my living room (check them out THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!), and when we have these cold, cold nights, my living room goes down to below 60 at night. I got this space heater to compensate in the mornings to quickly warm up the space. But, with this damn machine automatically deciding on it's own to switch to the lower wattage...it's impossible to warm anything up quickly..or at all for that matter!! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO KEEP IT AT THE FULL WATTAGE....IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Plus, there is no real indicator mark on the dial itself. You never know, is this where the full on setting should be...or is it here? Plus the directions give no indication either...you just never know what to line any of the dials marking to. THEN, HERE'S THE BEST PART!! In their direction packet they have a big STOP sign sheet that says, "Don't take this item back to where you bought it, CALL US...here's our 1-800 number, we'll be glad to help and answer any questions." I called them for four days straight and all I ever got was an answering maching. Finally on the 5th day I left a message. I wanted someone to explain the internal workings of this machine so that I could have some control over the wattage settings. That same day I also sent them an email...to this day I have heard NOTHING...no phone call back, no email...NOTHING!!! How's that for customer support! WAIT.... THERE'S MORE... I figured, well as a last resource I can put this machine down in my basement to help keep it warm so my pipes don't freeze (cold upstate New York winters). Another "feature" of this machine is that there is what's called a "Snowflake" setting, especially for use in basements. You plug it in, put it on the setting (again not really knowing where to really line the little snowflake image up to) and The machine will automatically come on when the room reaches below 41 degrees. Well, I keep a thermometer in my basement...when I placed this heater in my basement the temp on the thermometer was 38 degrees. That means as soon as I plug the thing in, it should turn on, right? HA!!! Fat chance!!! I stood there for 20 minutes, playing with the dial, trying to see what it did, and it did nothing! I went downstairs about 3 times during the course of the night, and though my basement kept getting colder, the heater never came on. URRRGGGGGGHHHH...I HATE THIS MACHINE...DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO BE MASTER OF YOUR HEATING DOMAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this heater last year and imediately thought I had made a mistake. But after using it a while, it has become my favorite room heater. I can use it anywhere and not be afraid of fire, it's the only electric heater I will leave on at night. As stated above the back does get hotter than the brochure indicates, but certainly not hot enough to start a fire, so I use it on the provided legs. At night I turn the thermastat down and use this heater in my bedroom, it has really saved me on energy cost. I love it's portability.

I believe many people are not use to the way this heater works, and are not giving it a chance. I came to Amazon today to buy another one, saw some of the low ratings given by buyers, and decided to let Amazon buyers know "THIS IS EXCELLENT PRODUCT".

One thing, It will stink until the new burns off, then it's a really good heater...........My two dogs and cat love it, they live in front of it on cold days.......I don't usually write reviews for Amazon, though I buy lots of things from them, this time I felt I had to defend my choice of heaters.

By the way I have two of those Wal-mart cheapies and they can't touch this one. I recomend this product.....

I purchased 3 of these heaters, one for each bedroom. I was very unhappy with them and returned all for a refund. There were two problems. First, very little heating capacity. The $20 space heaters from Wal-Mart I bought produced much more heat. Secondly, I had purchased these heaters because of the wall-mount feature. I thought that would be cool to have them out of the way. The problem was that the back got extremely hot (couldn't even touch surface without discomfort). I called the company and they said that it was safe, not a fire hazard. However, upon calling two people (one handyman, one person in heating department at Lowe's), they did say it was a fire hazard, that the drywall and wood couldn't get that hot behind it. I was extremely uncomfortable mounting it to the wall because I was afraid I would burn the house down! It just did not appear to be as safe as the company was saying it was. So I returned all three and got a refund on all of them.

I bought this in the middle of Oct of 07 in prep for the winter. Before i turned on the furnace for the year i tried using this heater to heat my computer room since that is where most of our time is spent. We were previously using a small (about a 1 ft cube) hot air blowing space heater that sadly does a much better job heating the room than this panel heater. I can have this unit sitting 6 inches behind my chair while at my desk and I'll STILL be cold. I left it on for a week straight thinking it may just need some time to heat the "stuff" in the room. It didn't work that way.

I tried to see if there really was a need for the unit to be on. I didn't know if there was a certain temperature that this would work best at so i turned on the furnace and set it to 61 so it would only kick on when actually necessary. The thermostat is in the computer room and the panel unit was about 4 feet from the thermostat and my furnace still turned on.

I unplugged it and turned on the small space heater. The room warmed up and the furnace didn't turn back on after 2 1/2 hrs.

It's the first week of Nov '07 and it's going back. If it can't handle fall it surely won't man up in winter.

Don't buy this heater.

As another reviewer said, this unit does not operate as advertised. Turn the unit on and within minutes, no matter what the temperature of the room is, the heater will go into it's ECO (Economic Energy Saving Function) mode. So it will never warm my small room quickly, for that matter, it never warms the room to a decent temperature at all. I was very disappointed with this heater and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I needed low voltage wire for LED under cabinet lighting and this fit the bill. The brown color is almost invisible against the wood cabinets. It is stiff enough to stay in place yet flexible enough to work with. Because it is copper wire, I was able to solder the connections easily so that the wires will not come loose even if accidentally bumped.

Nice thermostat for wet environment but comes with 1/2" hole already drilled in the top and doesn't include a grommet or plug for that. Would be ok if thermostat wire was in conduit but most greenhouses I work in have thermostat wire just stapled or tied to building or frame. I would prefer the hole at the bottom or none at all. I can drill my own hole. End result, you have to supply your own water proof grommet or plug.

I purchased three of these to be used for heat lamps to keep pipes from freezing. Mine have worked well for over a year. I have one in my well pump house, one in swimming pool pump house and one at the hunting cabin. You have to wire it yourself and you can wire it normally open or normally closed to cut something on or off depending on the application. I cut the heat lamp cord and wired each of these in the cut. So now there is no having to remember to turn the heat lamps on or having them run all the time even when it is warm. I set mine to come on at 35 degrees and they are accurate. They also could be used to cut on a fan when something gets hot like a dog house.

Note: They make one that is prewired and ready to go for those of you with no electrical skills. It plugs in the wall and you plug your device into the back of that plug.

My 10yo daughter and I are just getting started with fish. We live in a cold climate and wanted her tropical fish to have the right temperature when the thermostat is turned down during the day. Occasionally I come home for lunch, and this heater has no problems holding the temp 12 degrees warmer than the rest of the house during the day. It is easy to set for a precise temperature, and in the last few weeks I have never seen the tank temp even vary at all. Basically you plug in the heater (once it is in your tank), check your thermometer over the next hour for the actual temp of the water. Then you turn a ring on the heater so the arrow points to the exact temp. There are degree markings to raise or lower your tanks temperature. To start with, I set the heater to 74degrees. It actually settled at about 76. After adjusting the setting ring, I turned the tank up to 78 and it has held steady at 78 ever since. It seems like all of the smaller "preset" heaters have some that work great and others of the same model have major issues and fry the fish. This German made heater has a reputation for lasting 15+ years. This 25watt heater is good for 2gallons up to 7, the 50w is for 7 gallons up to 16 gallons. Buy this heater and you will have peace of mind that your fish are warm and safe!

I bought this heater for it's ability to maintain temperature over wide swings in ambient temperature... and it works great.

I have owned 3 EHEIM Jager heaters for probably 6-8 months now. None of them have broken, stopped working, or have been off on their heating. Even when the room fluctuates temperatures it stays consistent. On one of the heaters I thought it was off but didn't mind, it just turned out to be my thermometer. Therefore if you're having heating troubles, I highly suggest you make sure your thermometer is accurate!

I honestly LOVE these heaters. They are very nice quality. The only issue I have is the size. It's a pretty large heater. Other than that, they're perfect. I won't ever purchase any other brand.

This is the only reliable, long-lasting heater I have ever owned. Highly recommend!!

Honest reviews on EHEIM Jager Aquarium Thermostat Heater 25W

Fantastic build quality and excellent temperature control. With every aquarium heater you will need a thermometer. I use it with a Fluval Spec 2.6 Gallon tank (mounted in the pump area) and I have not had any problems maintaining a constant temperature in my shrimp tank for 2 months now. I have already purchased a larger version for my 20 gallon tank. Do not hesitate to buy this high quality product! You will not regret your purchase. Like others say, the suction cups are a little weak. I had a few problems with them sticking for a short time but over time I guess as more "gunk" got on them to help hold the seal, it has stayed steady.

If you continue to have problems I would recommend using aquarium silicone BEFORE you set up and cycle your tank to make a more permanent mount.

Works really well for my 5 gal Fluval Chi tank. The dial is not that accurate, but that's no problem just start lower on the dial and keep an eye on your thermometer and work your way up to what temp you want it.

Sylvania 12,000 BTU Energy Star Portable 3 in 1 Air Conditioner Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I got tired of carrying window units around and from one floor to the next to store them off season. These do take up a bit of floor space but are MUCH easier to install seasonally. You basically run a 6 inch clothes-dryer type of flex hose to a supplied window kit. The install kit is all light-weight. The power cord also has a built in surge suppressor/ power breaker. So, you must plug it in on the lower outlet. The 12,000btu unit cools a 12.5x18 room very well. Just make sure you have adequate air flow into the room. The Ac can actually suck the insulation out of the window and draw in outside air if your house is too tight or your room is undersized for this unit. The box says it is good for rooms up to 500 sq ft. After trying it, I believe it. I was so pleased with the unit I wanted a second smaller one. We are looking for something around 8,000 btu in the same make and similar model. The remote displays all the settings of the ac, including your target room temp. The timer to start or stop is a great feature too. It's based on number of hours in half hour increments. Say it's 9am and I want it to start at 11am. You enter 2.0 using up/ down on the keypad. The other great thing about it is this: if it is really hot inside and cool and/ or humid outside this unit will run based upon the indoor temp. That is great if you have allergies or are bothered by humidity for any reason. Window models make you open the windows when it's cooler outside and open windows may not cool off the indoors enough! I love this unit. In hind site would I buy it again? You bet. Like I said, I'd like a second one.

Bad design Negative air pressure; Poor window mount

I purchased the Sylvania SYL-12PE portable air conditioner. The single-hose exhaust system is just bad. If you need this type of unit, get a two-hose system (separate intake and exhaust hoses).

Pros:

1) can be used as an A/C unit or as a dehumidifier.

2) nice control panel

3) not too heavy

Cons:

Bad design. Can't cool without causing warm outside air to infiltrate.

The unit uses only one air hose, which exhausts warm air from the unit to the outside. This design is inherently problematic. By sucking the air out of a room, it causes negative air pressure in the room (and house) and causes the hot outside air to infiltrate into your house from anywhere possible: chimney flue, an open window in another part of the house, gaps in windows, etc. It's impossible to exhaust air out of a room without replacing it by an equal amount of air from somewhere else. So as this air conditioner is cooling one room, it is also causing warm/humid outside air to be sucked into your house through any place possible. At first, I thought this A/C was doing a nice job cooling my living room, but when I went into other parts of the house, they were heating up from all the infiltrated air. To use this A/C in a room, you really need to open a window in that same room. Obviously, the efficiency is poor.

Con:

Another problem is the window mounting. It was designed for a window without a sill. If you have a sill, then you have to add a fat foam strip under the window mount. It seems to be a last-minute "fix" for another bad design. When it rains, the foam strip acts like a sponge. So you have a big, fat, wet sponge sitting on your window sill. There is no flapper valve on the frame's exhaust opening. If there is a blowing rain, the rain will get into the exhaust hose (and possibly into the unit or your house). Also, the window mounting frame does not fit very well.

Summary:

The unit is nice, but the implementation is bad.

This the cutest refrigerator and works very well. However, it arrived with two quarter-size dents in the front lower door and on the side. That was very disappointing. I would have given it a 5 star rating otherwise.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

In spite of the previous reviews of issues with damage to the fridge, I decided to order one because I like the color red. And we needed a mini fridge. Plus I figured I could live with a few cosmetic dents or dings, so long as the fridge worked. When I received it, I excitedly extracted it from the box and packaging, then proceed to attempt to level it before plugging it in.

Except.

There were two major dents in the back two corners of the body of the fridge making leveling an impossibility (in fact, as I was turning it during leveling, the dented corners scratched my floor since the dents created very sharp edges). No possible way to level it, and having it wobble back and forth was unacceptable.

Thank goodness for Amazon's fairly easy returns, because back in the box it went and picked up the very next day.

I rolled the dice and ordered another one (I know, I'm probably out of my mind, but it *is* a cute fridge!) Here's hoping the next one comes without major damage I'll update this review when I receive it.

UPDATE 8/7/13:

Good News! Amazon made good this time. The replacement fridge showed up today, and there's nary a dent or ding anywhere to be found, cosmetic or otherwise. The return of the first one was easy (for me, I'm pretty sure my poor UPS driver didn't think it was easy lugging a 70 pound box to and from my back porch. He totally deserves a raise.) I did have to nag Amazon a little bit for the refund so I could order the replacement one, but the person I talked to was very accommodating and my refund was issued about 2 hours after I called.

I'm just glad I was planning ahead for the need of the mini fridge I don't need it for another week, but had I needed it *last* week, I would have been outta luck. So just a word to the wise give yourself two weeks leeway for when you actually need the fridge, just in case you need to return and reorder like I did.

Love the fridge so far, though the interior light and the separate (and actual) freezer compartment are what really sold me on this particular model (and the color, of course) in spite of the fridge section being smaller than if you got one that didn't have the freezer compartment. But I'm happy to sacrifice fridge space so I can have some frozen goods (like ice cream) in the freezer part vs. having just enough freezer space to only hold an ice cube tray like the others have. Priorities, you know. :) I bumped my star rating to 4 stars had I gotten this particular fridge the first go 'round, it would easily have been 5 stars.

UPDATE 8/16/13:

Well, that was a bust. The movers came and took our fridge on Tuesday, so we finally had space to plug in this cute little fridge to use instead of dealing with coolers of ice for the next 10 days while we finish work on our house before hitting the road. IT NEVER GOT COLD. The freezer nor the fridge had any cool air whatsoever.

At first it felt like it was getting cool on the interior, so before going to bed Tuesday night I (foolishly) transferred the lunch meat and cheese from the cooler to the little fridge assuming it would be completely cold by morning, especially since I put it on the coldest setting. No such luck. So I basically threw out about $40 in the trash because naturally the lunch meat and cheese sat in warmth all night long. So back to Amazon it goes, and this time I am NOT going to get a new one.

In fact, the hubby stopped by a local store yesterday and bought a totally different mini fridge with freezer (for less money) and that one not only had no dents, but started cooling right away so much so, the freezer was able to freeze things without having to wait 24 hours for it to be totally up and running.

Sad to say I'm reducing my star rating to 1 star since this has been a fiasco from the start. I do NOT recommend this fridge save your money and buy something that will not be damaged and work from the get-go.

Love the product, but they failed to write on the shipping box not to tip this product. The two thin boxes provide little protection and this item arrives with plenty of dings and dents. Poor packing means you will probably wind up with a few unsightly marks. Fridge has been running nonstop, may be from being tossed about in shipping.

the light in the frig worked, but that was it. Hope the replacement coming this week works and isn't damaged during shipment like others have experienced. Amazon should label the box appropriately so it's not tossed around. My daughters first year in college experienced the issues of ordering appliances online. Love the looks of the frig and freezer and Amazons replacement procedure, however, the shipment should go out next day and the manufacturer should be billed for the cost. CaveMan

Update Sept 29, 2013: Received the replacement before promised and the return couldn't be made easier. The replacement frig works as expected, however, some of the handle screw holds were not fully drilled, so I just added a quick bit to finish the job. Kids love the freezer convenience.

Buy Waring Contact Grill and Griddle WGG500SSQ

Customer Ratings:

I never owned an indoor grill made by Ronco or George F so I won't be comparing the Waring to anything else. This review is based upon an inspection of the parts and the cooking of several foods.

Waring makes professional products so they know what quality is. Don't let the word "Pro" fool you into thinking this is a restaurant-quality commercial product -It isn't but the quality is very good. My initial observations:

* The grill is heavy-duty enough for home kitchen use. The body is metal, the controls have a quality feel, the heating elements are thick and the grilling surfaces seem pretty good.

* It takes a while to heat-up but once it does it cooks at a consistent rate.

* The free-floating top grill doesn't really float so you have to free-it-up manually. Keep in mind that the grill plates are really hot and extend outside of the body so a pot holder is in order.

* There are two sets of grill plates: one set with ridges and one set that is flat. The upper and lower plates are not interchangeable. The non-stick coating isn't the hardest I've even seen. There is a cheap platic tool included that you can use to clean the ridged grill plates but it didn't do a satisfactory job even on a brand new grill.

Cooking results were good in both the closed and open positions. The upper grill is not quite level when the grill is laid flat so the drippings may or may not flow in the right direction. I mades some burgers, turkey burgers, fried eggs and bacon all with good results. The cooking surfaces cooked thoroughly, evenly and quickly.

Overall, I'm satisfied and feel that I got a good grill for what it costs. I know I'm dreaming but I would preferred to have cast-iron grill plates over the nonstick aluminum. I would also prefer it if the grill plates were reversable as opossed to interchangeable. As long as it's not made by Cuisinart, I'm happy.

I don't have much to compare to since it's the first one I've owned. Seems fairly easy to use. Grids are easy to take out to clean. One drawback is that since the top lid rests on top of the meat if you are cooking meat that is more than 1/4" thick the grease splatters out around the edges and leaves a mess all over the countertop. The little plastic cups that are provided to catch the grease are cheesy. I don't see myself using this on a regular basis. Using as a griddle it's OK but a little small even for 2 people.

I paid $79.99 in 12/09 and have been very pleased so far. The grill heats quickly and when ready provides even heat distribution. The food cooks and looks great. I especially like the burgers that are crusty on the outside and juicy inside. I scrape the plates, while still warm, with the plastic scraper that comes with the grill and when cool put them in the dishwasher and they clean up well. The plates are very easy to take off and put on.

Ordered it and it arrived early. Makes great sandwiches and grills meat perfectly and quickly. My only dislike of the product is that it takes elbow grease to clean it. I was hoping that the "non stick" surface was truly non stick, but it's not. Overall, a good product.

I have owned this stove (5510) for one year. It's installed in my living room, which is in the middle of my house. Last winter, it kept the bulk of my house 65-75, but we had to use space heaters in the bedrooms at night. Last year, we burned 3.5 tons of pellets, for a total operating cost of about $1000 (including space heaters), which is maybe a third of what I spent in past years on propane. General operation and cleaning is easy, but the original igniter went bad after a few months (replaced under warranty). Also, I recently noticed that the glass gasket in the door is in bad shape, so I called the company and they sent out a new one, also under warranty. Customer service has been excellent so far. I am very happy with my purchase.

If the stove would keep working it would be great but it keeps breaking. I bought the stove in August and by December the ignighter was bad. Us Stove did warranty the ignighter once. But now in the second season the ignighter is bad again and also the auger moter is bad. Of course now it's been over a year for the warranty. Since the heating season is about 6 months here in Michigan that is what time you get to operate the unit under the warranty. Us Stove directs you to use their web site for parts but their it says auger moter out of stock for a month. I would not buy a Us Stove again! Look else were for a different brand.

Great stove holds three bags of pellets. The stove has 9 settings, at -30 below zero the stove heated are house just fine. Great stove built well and looks like it will last a long time.

I've had this stove for 2 years now and absolutely regret buying it. I have had SEVERAL ignitors go out. The door and seal are sub-par and had to be replaced. I constantly battle with the settings. It commonly overflows the pot. It's a shame that an american company makes such a shoddy stove. I bought this thinking I could save a few bucks. Apparently with this item, that's not the case. Once it breaks one more time, it's getting pitched. Do a little research on hearth.com if you want to know more. Very few people have a positive thing to say about this brand.

I use this thermostat to turn on and off an attic fan when temperatures get too high. I've found that every few months mine needs to be turned off and reset, or the fan will just run continously. This is no big deal for my purposes, but if you use it for applications where temperature control is critical for keeping animals or plants alive, check it periodically or buy a more expensive unit.

I recently purchased two of these units to regulate the temperature in my bedroom and my living room. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. The temperature readout is spot on and it's easy to program. However I do have two complaints:

1. The unit can only program weekdays and weekends. That means you can't choose a specific day of the week to program. For example, I am never at my apartment on Saturdays, however since Saturday and Sunday must have the same schedule, as well as monday-friday, I'm wasting energy.

2. In order for this unit to work, there MUST be a ground plugged into the outlet. I bought two "DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Radiator" heaters (they are amazing, I highly recommend) which don't have a ground. In order for it to work, I had to plug in an extension cord into the thermostat to trick it into thinking the ground was plugged in, then I plugged my heater into the extension cord and it worked.

Overall, I recommend the thermostat.

I bought this for use in my garage workshop, to control a small gas wall furnace/space heater. The heater has its own thermostat, but it's not programmable and it's terribly inaccurate, prone to wide fluxuations in temperature. This device does a lovely job of keeping the shop comfortable when I expect to be there while letting the place cool off at night to save energy. It's lovely, and such a simple idea that I wonder who no other thermostat manufacturer seems to offer an equivalent product.

Honest reviews on Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat

The LUX WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat is the perfect solution for heating or cooling one room. I purchased three (3) units: one for each bedroom hooked up to a small oil-filled radiator to heat the bedrooms in the winter. I don't like forced air heating because it dries out the air too much. This has not only allowed us to breath comfortably at night, but also cut my electric bill. Although we broke record lows this fall (avg of 30-40 degrees every night for the month of November), my electric bill was the no higher than an avg November. I was expecting a $200-$300 electric bill and it was only $150 for Nov. Not bad for an all-electric three bedroom home.

With the ability to program the temp for each day (four time settings for M-F, and four times for S-S) The Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat takes all the work out of remembering to turn on or off the heat (or air). For example, you could set the thermostat to 68 degrees at 9PM, 65 at 3AM, 72 at 6AM, and 60 at 8AM. This could be the M-F setting. You could set the temp for four different times for S-S as well.

Another nice feature is the ability to program the unit without having to be plugged in (armchair programming) thanks to the backup batteries, included. They are of the button cell type, and are supposed to be replaced every year, but I think I will just wait until they die. And last but not least is the "hold" button, which allows you to manually adjust the temp and keep it there, thus overriding the programmed temp settings. It will stay at that temp until you press hold again, thereafter returning to the programmed setting.

The thermostat is rated at 120VAC, 15A -enough power to run most space heaters or A/C units. The unit will operate manually operated heaters (not digital) and manual or digital A/C units if the digital A/C unit has auto on capability after power failure. The thermostat works by cutting the power to the heater/AC unit once the desired temp has been reached.

Thanks, Lux, for a great product!

I installed 2 of these in bedrooms and plugged in electric heaters. They maintain the room temperature +1 degree even though I lower the central heating temperature to save money. Previously I used the thermostats built into Delongi oil filled electric radiators to control the room temperature. The best I could get was maybe +3 degrees. The WIN100 completely solved the temperature stability and targeting problems I was having!

The thermocouple and electronic thermostat in the WIN100 is much more accurate than the built in bi-metalic mechanical thermostats in most portable electric heaters. The bi-metalic thermostats had a scale of 1-6 and I had to set each heater to a different number to get the right room temperature. Also I had to bump the set point up and down depending on how cold it was outside. Probably something to do with varying thermal gradient inside the heater housing... anyway, inherent problem when the temperature sensor is next to the heater.

After installing the WIN100, the room temperature was completely stable!

Programming is straight forward. Typical for an electronic thermostat.

Heater set up suggestions:

1) Use oil filled radiator heaters for bedrooms. They are SAFE, QUIET and don't make drafts.

2) Set your heater for medium power, not high. Long, low heat input keeps the room temperature more stable. Lower power reduces the chance of overheating and fire if you have a slightly damaged wall receptacle. (If your receptacle is very warm to the touch, replace it with a new spec grade receptacle.)

3) Place the WIN100 on an outside wall. This is opposite what the user manual says, but it will give you a more stable room temperature. The apparent temperature for a person is a function of the air temperature (conduction & convection heating) and the wall temperature (thermal radiation heating). When it is really cold outside, the walls get colder and you need to bump up the air temperature to keep the room "feeling" the same temperature. Putting the temperature sensor on the cold wall gives you an automatic bump in air temperature as needed.

4) Put the heater away from the WIN100 temperature sensor. Put your hand by the WIN100. If you can feel the heat of the heater, it is too close.

5) Put the heater under a window. That's where most of the cold comes into the room.
