The worst toaster made ever. I trusted the brand name and got a toaster that burns everything on the number 1 or 2 setting. The controls are non-existent and the whole thing is cheap and flimsy. You get what you paid for. Still it's over $10 down the drain since I have to get a decent one now...

I purchased this toaster to use at work. I had it for over 3 years now and it still toast great. It toast evenly on both sides and the control work great. It gets used almost every day, my cooworkers borrow it constantly. We use it to toast bagels and slice bread. I am even buying a 4-slice one for home and I am sticking with the proctor. I guess I got lucky with the one I got. I do like it a lot better than cuisinart, black and decker and other brands that cost more and don't last as long.

Reviews of New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000

Customer Ratings:

I have a medium open living/dining area with high ceilings. I, like most wanted something to help with the heating costs. This machine worked well during the day when I had it running on high with the fireplace going and would warm the room to 70-71 degrees. At night, I put the central gas heat on 64, turned off the fireplace and left the Edenpure running on high. When I woke up, the room was 64, just as I had set the thermostat on the central heat. So needless to say, it did not work at all as the main heat was kicking on. I also do not like the fact that there is no digital thermostat but just several lines to indicate the level of heat and there is no timer. I actually have ordered another similar unit from Home Depot that has both of these features, has two more additional heating elements and is supposed to heat up a 1500 sq foot room and only cost $259 with free shipping. And of course the added bonus of being able to return it directly to the local store if I do not like it. This Edenpure I purchased is rated to heat 1000 sq feet. So, I personally cannot recommend this product.

Consumer Reports, February 10, 2010:

Heating Claims Don't Add Up

Manufacturers of electric space heaters want you to believe that using one of their devices will lower your heating bill. Lowering your home's thermostat(s) and using your main heating system less in tandem with a space heater--called zone heating--will cut your utility bill. (Every degree you lower the thermostat(s) can save you about 2 percent on your heating bill.) But keep in mind that based on current national average prices and adjusting for the energy losses due to burning a fuel, heating with electricity is about two and a half times more expensive than heating with gas, the most common heating fuel in this country.

EdenPure suggests that "you can turn the heat down in your house as low as 50°F, yet the room you are in will be warm and comfortable. When you move to another room, the EdenPure goes with you. Its wheels make relocation a snap." That scenario assumes that you have to heat only a single room to heat at a time or that you own multiple EdenPure space heaters; that once you're in a room you stay put and don't move around the house; and that you're willing to keep the rest of your home at a chilly 50°F. Lowering the thermostat(s) by 3°F would likely result in minimal discomfort for you and your family, but are you willing to keep your home at 50°F?

...Its design essentially negates the radiant-heating effect, so it operates more like a typical fan-forced convection heater. While a fan can help mix the room air, there is typically some temperature variation, with cooler air near the floor and warmer air near the ceiling.

Humidity Information Seems All Wet

EdenPure says its heaters "protects the humidity level and air quality important to breathing comfort and personal health," and also notes that "Heat from the copper tubing rides the humidity in the room and provides moist, soft heat--ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall--without reducing oxygen or humidity."

Simply put, when you heat a room with any space heater and don't also have an additional source of humidity, say a humidifier, the total moisture in the air in that space will stays the same but the relative humidity will go down, not up. That's true for every space heater we've tested...

We needed a heater for our fifth wheel and I prefer products made in the USA (especially electric products), so after reviewing many heaters decided on the Edenpure. It really does the job! Saved quite a bit on propane and heats the whole 5th wheel. Plus it's a lot quieter than our furnace. We've been extremely pleased.

Honest reviews on New EdenPURE Infrared Heater US1000

Years ago,I purchased two Edenpure, very efficient and safe,model Gen 3 heaters. One of the heaters was a refurbished model. Both heaters worked great, until the refurbished heater stopped producing heat. I called the company, being that a refurbished hearter did not carry a regular warranty, I could not get help..not even a timely answer from the on line trouble shooting expert. It was the Christmas vacation week for my grandchildren who were coming to stay with me in upstate NY., and without two heaters, my home is really cold. After a long wait for the online company representative to get back to me, only for him to write back stating that he lost my e-mail and what was my heater problem. I wrote him back, but again never recieved answered, and with the nearest repair shop for these heaters hundreds of miles away from my home, I went to BJ's store to see what brands of heaters they had available. To my surprise BJ's had 1 Edenpure US1000, which I purchased. Edenpure has made some changes;the US1000 heater uses three bulbs instead of the 5 bulbs as in the original heaters and I believe runs a bit cooler, not giving the wide spectrum of heat output as the older models did. The Edenpure is a safe and attractive looking heater, and I feel very comfortable when my grndchildren are at my home, knowing that they will not be harmed by any heating elements.

I bought 2! The heater works very well. We run it in the room where our TV and thermostat are located. It raises the temperature to around 72 degrees, which keeps the heat from coming on. As long as we stay in that room, it's nice. The rest of the 1st floor of the house gets very cold unless we run the second heater in another room. These are idea for trailers or small homes. If you have a bigger house you may want to buy a couple of them but, would you really be saving any money then???.

I purchased this refrigerator as a birthday present for my husband, not *quite* sure if it was something he'd like. Well, as it turns out he loves it, despite a few limitations.

The unit came delivered in perfect condition. The only assembly that was needed was to insert the shelves and install the door handles. The instructions say to let the unit sit for 24 hours before plugging it in, but of course, we unpacked it and plugged it in before we saw the instructions. I unplugged it as soon as I ready that (so after maybe 20 minutes) and then plugged it in again the next day. It was fine, and it got up to temperature very fast. I can't remember how fast, but fast.

The unit is very quite. We have it in a back bedroom/play room, and you can sleep there without being bothered by the fridge.

Ok, so the weaknesses. We drink a lot of champagne, and the unit does not accommodate champagne bottles well. The shelves themselves are not metal and seem a little light for the $500-ish price tag, but they've been fine so far. Since the unit was not designed for champagne, it doesn't get super-cold, but cold enough for storage (46 degrees, I think). We have beer and red wine in the other side, I think at 50-something degrees.

I did a fair amount of research on wine refrigerators before I bought this one. So far, I'm happy with my purchase (it's been about a month). We'll see how I feel a year from now.

One good looking wine chiller. Absolutely love the steel capped racking. It can store up to 32 bottles evenly with 16 bottles in the right zone and 16 bottles in the left zone. This is a compressor free vibration-free thermoelectric powered cooling type unit. My personal preference given the absence of vibration which can wreak havoc on older wines with softer corks. It also minimizes the drying effect of compressor coolers. The shelves can be taken out so I can put in bottles of varying sizes, but it still looks the best with all the racks installed.

Solidly-built and beautifully designed, I'm surprised it doesn't retail for twice the price. That's why I love shopping on here! It keep temps very accurately and the dual-zones are a real must especially when the hubby likes sangioveses to my reislings.

It's a good size chiller for most needs and complements a contemporary setting perfectly. Thanks Amazon!

I bought this for office wine storage (yes, I work in a strange office). Assembly was straightforward once I figured out where they had stored the screw-in front feet. (They're tucked in a corner in the styrofoam).

I wasn't pleased that the instructions called for a few hours of settling before powering it on, but I've had another wine fridge die on me within days of arrival (not this manufacturer or model), so I let it settle.

Settings are straightforward and it maintains the target temperature with almost no noise.

On the downside, the shelves have these metal fronts on them (You can see them in the pictures. The shelves are just wire frame, but there's a front piece). You can't insert or remove even a standard bottle without sliding the shelf out. It's a minor nit, but my home fridge doesn't have this problem, so it bothers me a bit.

We were a little worried when the box showed up. The exterior of the box was bashed in. The shippers clearly gave this item a "fun" ride. Amazon or the manufacturer expected that, though, I guess. It was double boxed, and the inside box (and the product) were fine.

I would buy this item again.

Whynter WC-321DD 32 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel Trimmed Glass Door with Black Cabinet

I desperately wanted a dual-zone that would fit under the breakfast counter. I didn't need a built-in so this Whynter wine chiller was almost exactly what I had in mind. I'm smitten by the looks/pricing of this unit. Very cool. Nicely double packed for shipping and arrived quickly too.

I had a power outage and didn't realize the temperatures default back to the factory setting, I thought it was faulty but customer service did a great job explaining this to me. It's definitely a keeper.

Whynter WC-321DD 32 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel Trimmed Glass Door with Black Cabinet

This 32 bottle wine cooler looks amazing. When it is completely filled, it just looks impressive and very swanky. Luxurious is probably the first word that I would use to describe this Whynter wine cooler.

The dual-zones are exactly what I was looking for to store white and red wines. 32 bottles are for standard bottles, if you need to fit large champagnes bottles, you will obviously need to remove a shelf or two as required. Not sure what the buzz is over thermoelectric units.

After a couple of weeks of use I can't tell if it's any better than your compressor based. Either way it's proven to be good buy. It's currently used as a free-standing unit right in the dining room.

This is an exact replacement, as you would expect. What I didn't expect was how bad my old filters were. Now that I see the nice shiny new one I realize the olds ones must oxidize or get some kind of deposits on them even with regular cleaning. My air cleaner takes two of these and it didn't seem right to put the new shiny one in there with the other old one so I ordered a second one. Oh and luckily they package these pretty good as the box was partially crushed but the filter inside was ok.

Review of Dimplex SMP-904-ST Fieldstone Pine and Stone-look Electric

Customer Ratings:

I have a 3 story Beach House on the WA coast. It gets a little chilly on the first floor entry hall even in summer evenings. I bought this unit to take the cool edge off. It is fairly easy to assemble, though package is a bit heavy (recommend opening box and carrying pieces inside one-by-one). Be sure your wall socket is offset from the insert or you will have to move it upward like I did or use an aftermarket recessed outlet)because the insert fits tight againt the wall. The unit looks bigger in the brochure, but was perfect size for me because I want a TV wall-mounted above. There are lots of adjustment options for temp and light/firelog brightness! Very beautiful effect and emanates quality. Has dark glass front nice effect! Love it

On the negative side; when putting together none of the holes line up and the mortar used to form the rock is very delicate tends to crack and flake. When Assembling the mantel one of the bolts kept falling out had to end up glueing it in. Also fire box does not screw into the structure anywhere when bumped it does slip out and has to be pushed back in. The overall looks is okay and it does work for heat. Do not feel that it is worth the price paid....

I bought this space heater after searching for something to quickly heat up my bedroom in the winter, so I wasnt running the whole house heater all evening. I have had this for 5 months now and it has worked flawlessly! The remote is super handy as well. From the remote you can turn the power on, turn swivel off and on, increase the temp setting, and change the mode. Thats the other great thing it has a mode that just blows air like a fan, a low heat setting and a high heat setting. It also has an eco setting, but Im not quite sure what that does. The ONLY drawback Id say for this, is that you cant sent the timer from the remote. You have to set the timer on the unit itself. The timer is great too, you can set it for 30 minute increments, up to several hours. Ive never tested it, but it also has a tip feature that shuts the machine down if it falls over. Sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but this heater has been great for me!

I don't want to get too philosophical here 'cause this is a after all a product review but this product is yet again another example of cheaply made Chinese garbage.

If Companies want to operate in the US they should at least offer products made in this country and as consumers we should all demand that they do. It's not just that the Chinese make products that die prematurely wasting everyone's time and money, we need to realize that it takes the Earth's FINITE resources to make them and dispose of them as well.

Anyway, performance-wise the Delonghi TCH7690 Safeheat 28" tower ceramic heater is the same as any other 1500 Watt heater. Despite the marketing hype you may read from heater manufacturers, 1500 watts of input yields something under 1500 watts of output. That's it, I don't care how you slice it. So if you're in the market for a space heater, I would look for the most attractive, least expensive unit, made in America if it exists. And if not made in America at least backed by a US company that you can actually contact and who will gladly repair or replace the unit when (not if) it fails. This will not be too long if it's made in China.

Pretty disappointed with this product. Worked fine for a three weeks and then one day it stopped blowing hot air. It would only turn on and then turn itself off. Too lazy to return it. Will be avoiding this company for now. What got me to buy this on was when it was mentioned as the top model to buy by Hammacher and Schlamer. I generally trust their taste (bought an amazing shower curtain from them) but I didn't know that not ordering from them would equate to getting a Lemon from Amazon.

Like other reviewers, I now have a 28-inch piece of junk. This unit for the past 4 days would not operate properly, and I was too busy with other tasks to return it to Amazon. Well it died today [no red light indicating power], and it's 1 day past the Return policy! So, straight to the Trash.

Stay away from this product.

Amazon needs to do a better job of (a) quality control of products they sell, and (b) relaxing their Return policy when devices they sell/ship fail outright.

I got this as a back up for a relative out of the country who uses propane for her stove and is constantly running out of it!

before i take it to her i wanted to test it out first.

water in a medium size T-fal hard anodized pot took 5 minutes to boil on the medium setting.

i cooked peas and rice and it took 15-20 minutes maybe a little longer because i turned the setting on low and the light went out so i wasn't sure if it was still on.

i only used the right side which is the 1000 watt

so the PROS are:

it works

it gets hot

water boils fast

you can cook peas and rice with a little coconut milk, scallions, scotch pepper, thyme etc ..hungry? yeah me to so let me rap this up.

looks good

feels sturdy

CONS:

the knobs/controls are on the sides

light goes out when on low setting.

will update after i see how it works in my relatives home.

It was used approx. 10 times a week for light cooking, 5-15 minutes at a time; nothing heavy duty. I can say HARDWARE WORLD HAS BEEN WONDERFUL to deal with on this defective unit. They have very promptly replied to my complaint and behaved like we all wish all seller would. They get a 5 star in my book for service!! Maybe the unit I got was a rare 'lemon', but who knows. I am really not pleased with this unit's performance under modest use.
