Excellent price for the exact older model I wished to replace without complications about upgrading wiring or moving from a "vertic" to a "horizontal" (orientation) model. Could not ask for more.

Honest reviews on Honeywell TH1110D1000 Pro1000 Thermostat

It turns on and it turns off, that's about the only good thing about this unit. The temperature display reads 4-5 degrees higher than the actual room temperature and it continuously overshoots the set-point. If I set it to 69 degrees at night, I wake up to a hot house with the thermostat reading 78 degrees. What's up with that?

So when I heard that this summer was supposed to be BRUTALLY hot, I decided that it was time to invest in an AC unit for my room. My dad has one in the living room and his room but never got one for me, and since I'm on a super tight budget since the place I work now is going under I was looking for the best deal I could get in the $50 $150 range. And this is the product that I found.

First off, you won't find a better deal, you just wont. I paid under $200 (which is UNREAL for an AC unit, most go for $300+) Not to mention this product is sold by Amazon, meaning you can take advantage of the super saver shipping which is great because anybody who knows anything about shipping will tell you it'll cost a pretty penny to ship a 40 pound AC unit. (roughly 25-30$) So right off the bat I thought I might be getting ripped off, but since I got the free shipping I said whatever I'll just return it if it's a junker. but BOY was I wrong!

The thing came in it's original box like how you'd buy it in a retail store, not in an amazon box. (I mention this in case you live in a bad area, you may want to call UPS and set something up because people will immediately know what it is thats being delivered). Anyway I carried it upstairs and let me tell you, this thing is very manageable even for someone of a small stature, very easy to carry.

So I open up the box and look in. Everything was organized and ready with everything right there, no digging around or tedious unpacking necessary. Opened up the manual and got started. The installation was a breeze, The manual was easy to read and I gotta say they could have done a little better job with the illustrations but whatever. Got it all set up in the window and sealed it off. Unfortunately the cord is only about 4 or 5 feet long so if you dont have a plug right next to the window you're gunna need an extension cord like I did (even though the manual says not to use one. I bought a nice heavy duty one that can take up to 13 amps, which is nowhere near what this unit uses so I recommend something similar). After going and buying a cord I plugged her in and held my breath.

Turned the temp up to max and switched it on. The unit immediately responded and the compressor kicked on in under a second which was a huge relief to me. It took about 4 minutes for the unit to compose itself and actually start kicking out cold air (which is expected for any new compressor-based AC). Now this unit is supposed to cool a room with a max size of 150 sq-ft and my room is WAY bigger. None the less this little monster had my room freezing within 15 minutes on the LOW COOL setting!

So in conclusion I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to stay cool this summer on a tight budget

My mom sold this A/C when we got central air and I definitely miss it now that I've moved into my dads home that has 3 windows in our (me and my infant daughter) slightly small bedroom. Needless to say it gets hot in here and I know that A/C will do the trick. It cools very fast and although it's slightly loud you can adjust to it quickly. I had it right next to my bed at my old home and slept all night long with it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!

UPDATE 9 21 13 This unit DID NOT handle the humid summer well. While it did manage to cool the room by 3-5 degrees, depending on the heat index and dew point, it did not make the room feel cool. The window it is in is completely shaded at all times by a very large, old tree. Still, it cooled the room only enough to change it being from intolerably hot to uncomfortably warm. My recommendation is to use this for an extremely small room, even smaller than the manufacturer suggests. In 85 or less degree weather with a low dew point, the unit works well enough to actually cool the room. It won't be cold, but refreshingly cooler than the outdoors. So much so that you'd miss it if the power went out and you couldn't run the unit at all; and much better than a window fan. In summation, great for late spring/early summer, when the air is only mildly humid and less than 86 degrees fahrenheit. This unit will struggle on humid days and in temperatures forward of 85 degrees fahrenheit.

ORIGINAL POST I have a small, one bedroom apartment that is shaped funny (a house made into apartments). The building itself doesn't have the best electrical circuitry, so in order to cool the apartment, it is necessary to have 2 units running in separate rooms on separate circuits, with the air blowing in a different direction in each room. I must admit, I was angry at first because the unit didn't seem to work properly but I have since figured out the secret to its optimal performance.

If you want cool air, cold enough to cool a room, YOU MUST SET THE THERMOSTAT TO A SIX OR SEVEN. Anything lower, and it will only blow room temperature air. That said, it works well on both LO COOL or HI COOL, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE THERMOSTAT SET TO A SIX OR SEVEN. The unit only goes up to a seven, so the manufacturer could have done a lot better with this. It is only upper 70's where I am. What happens when it's a sweltering 80+ degrees in a few months? I don't know that this unit will be able to handle extremely humid, 90-100 degree weather, which is commonplace during the summer in my town. The heat index always reaches into the 100's for weeks at a time. I will have to update this post once that kind of weather hits.

My other recommendation, is that you adhere to the manufacturer's room size suggestion of 150 square feet or less. I have tall ceilings (I'm tall but still need a ladder to be able to change a light bulb) but wall to wall, it's a very small space. I use a 6k btu air conditioner in the bedroom and a 5k btu air conditioner in the living room (which is where this unit currently is). When I open the bedroom and bathroom doors, the entire apartment is able to cool running both units together. I do have confidence, that if I have the doors closed and am only running this unit, that it would sufficiently cool the room by itself in 85 degree fahrenheit or less weather. I'll have to wait and see how well it performs in hotter weather.

This unit is not noisy in my opinion. I can't hear it in the next room with the tv on and if I'm in the same room, it sounds like low, white noise, so you can definitely hear that it's on, but I am not annoyed or irritated by the 'noise'. I can watch tv in that room without having to turn the volume up loud.

Hope this helps.

The thermostat quit working on one of our upstairs electric baseboard heaters and I discovered that you can't just buy a regular low voltage wall replacement furnace thermostat. 220 volts goes through this thing so you have to be careful to turn off the circuit breaker to it and replace it with a good quality thermostat that is meant for this type of heater. This one is good quality and a bargain price here. It works great and has a built in thermometer that shows you the current room temperature. It is only used for a reference, not a "set point". But it is nice to have since the original one didn't have one.

Review of Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700

Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Last summer I bought five Air King window fans and one 20" box fan for my family's summer cottage in NE PA. I gave a five-star review to the window fans last year, but I neglected to review this excellent box fan. It's built well, has full air flow, a thermostatically controlled cooling knob and three speeds, sits still and does not rattle. I know it costs three times as much as other box fans, but if you've ever tried to nap with a twitching rattling rouring low power fan in the background, you will be happy to pay the extra price. With temps in the mid-90's in early June, I will be ordering one or two more.

With local energy prices scheduled to soar this summer, I bought this fan hoping to be able to reduce the thermostat setting and still be comfortable. The two main criteria for me, since the unit was going to sit in my living room, were that it must be quiet, and it must be efficient. The fan has lived up to all expectations. Many fan makers do not publish their noise levels, but Air King did, and I have found the specs to be accurate. The lowest setting is quieter than my PS2 or XBOX. The 20" blades move plenty of air, even on Low. High is like sitting in a tropical storm, really needed only for quick cooling after a long period of yard work.

I like this fan, I find the quality to be just fine, and I would buy another in a heartbeat if I needed one.

Best Deals on Air King 20-Inch 3-Speed Deluxe Box Fan #9700

The first problem I noticed with my new King 9700 20" Deluxe Box Fan was the three places on top of the fan where the paint must have been chipped and then repaired with a brush. The repair was done very poorly. This obviously happened at the factory since the paint was touched up with the same color paint.

When I turned the fan on for the first time, I heard a loud vibration noise and I noticed the fan motor seemed to be out of balance. After some investigation, I removed the back grill and noticed that one of the bolts that mount the motor to the fan's frame was jammed into the windings area of the motor instead of into the mounting hole. After fixing that, I noticed the other three mounting bolts were not tightened.

The fan is much quieter now (the vibration noise is gone), but I still think it is very noisy, even on the low and medium speed settings.

I thought that by paying more for a fan I would get better quality and less noise. I was wrong. I would have been better off buying a $19 fan.

The motor was mounted off center, and the fan blades hit the inside of the case when they spun. This unit should never have passed quality control.

the fan arrived on time and in good shape. it worked great right out of the box. i bought this fan to replace a standard 20" box fan of the type that cost around $20.

i paid $55.37 delivered . it feels twice as heavy as my old fan. the metal case is bigger and stronger , and the motor is a lot bigger. the plastic grills are about the same. the fans speeds work , but all 3 a fairly similar. the thermostat works at the temperature i used about 70. i'm using it as an exhaust fan and it moves a lot more air. it is noisy and might be annoying if you used it in same room . so far i think it was worth the money , but it will have to last 2 or more years. i'll try to remember to do an update. i think it could pay for itself by the end of summer by cutting down on ac bills.

Love this thermostat.

I have it coupled to Honeywell's Red-Link Gateway (also available on Amazon) which plugs into my interent router. This allows me to adjust the thermostat from my smart phone! Who cares?

Well, I work in a sometimes-chilly office above my garage. I used to have a thermostat set on a timer but it never quite fit my erratic schedule -it would turn on when I had to be at a meeting; it would turn off when I wanted to do some early-morning work. (OK, clearly the problem was with ME, not the old thermostat, but you get the idea).

Now whenever I'm ready to work I can go on my smartphone, say, when I wake up, and by the time I've brushed my teeth and gotten dressed, my work space is already at the right temperature. Yahoo!

Tech support on the phone is good. Gave this four stars instead of five for a minor reason -if you have simple tech questions the Honeywell folks are happy to help. But any question beyond the basics and Honeywell insists that they will only talk to a licensed installer. For all you licensed installers out there I certainly respect your talent and expertise, but the crankier part of me is thinking, "I paid for this thing why can't I ask a question?" For example, to perform certain functions you need a passcode, which is hidden on the unit. (Sorry; if I remembered where it is I would tell you!) My friend is a licensed electrician and so was able to speak their language but I still find it a bit annoying. Of course I think that if you just said, "I'm Joe of Joe's Electrical Service" you'd be fine, still...

This items is sold by Planet Plumbing through Amazon and the Planet Plumbing service was superb. (I ordered the wrong item -entirely my fault -and they did a fantastic job of getting the right one to me fast.)

Honeywell Prestige 2.0 HD is very powerful and easy to install / use / customize. It is capable of controlling commercial HVAC installations, which is also a hint that it is overkill for most simple home installations. Installation instructions are geared toward professional installers (so you need to have a good idea of what you're doing).

The main unit is removable, snapping into a wall mounted frame. The electrical connection between the unit and the wall frame is made by two rows of connector pins. If the unit is not properly aligned when you're inserting it the pins can (will) bend. This is not a good connection method (says one that bent 2 pins). (That's why I've deducted one star).

Love the thermostat and the ability to use my smartphone or tablet to control it from anywhere.

Do NOT love that the gateway required to be able to use the wifi features of the thermostat is not included and not clearly noted that it is required and will cost you another almost $100. Ended up buying the gateway because the wifi and remote access was the entire reason that I bought this thermostat, just disappointed that it wasn't included or clearly marked that it was going to cost even more.

The heater worked fine for a couple of years, then the power switch melted. I replaced the power switch with one having a higher current rating (30A vice 20A) and after a few weeks the unit began to emit a burning electrical smell. I disassembled it and found the Diode Assembly MELTED! A search on the net revealed that this is a common problem. Fahrenheat knows about the problem and even has a repair kit (DB Kit) for $36. The diode alone cost $10, plus $10 shipping. This is a $3 part if you know the specs.

If you buy one of these be aware of the potential DANGEROUS failures. I don't know how UL ever passed this product. It could be a fire hazard. If you don't believe me GOOGLE "Fahrenheat LFP6152 Diode." The fact that Fahrenheat knows about this problem to the point of developing an overpriced repair kit, and doesn't make it right, is inexcusable. I'll never buy another Fahrenheat product.

We use these heaters as a source of energy efficient heating for over 4 years now at our inn. They have an adjustable feature that supplies electricity to the silicone filled element to produce heat and then cut off the power when the silicone fluid gets hot. This feature saves energy. We also benefit from only heating those areas we want to keep warm by using zone versus central heat.

We bought them to reduce our usage of the central propane hot air furnace and have saved money by only heating areas needed and reducing propane usage.

They also help keep our yurts comfortable in the winter.

Honest reviews on Fahrenheat Portable Electric Hydronic Heater, Model# Lfp6152

It works, but does do some strange clicking/banging sounds some times. Also, it switches from 750W to 1500W automatically so that it might blow the fuses in your space depending on what else you have plugged (such as another heater for another window). I would rate it 5 stars if they was a switch to control the 750W/1500W power.

The Farenheat Hydronic heater is an excellent area heater with no moving parts. The hydronic fluid in the heater core is very efficient using natural air convection. This is the large model, with two power levels (750 & 1500 W) automatically selected by the "Smartstat" thermostat, and has a length of 58" along the baseboard (where we use it).

The unit was shipped from an Amazon dealer, and it did arrive damaged in shipment, with one of the legs broken. I chose to repair the leg rather than return it and reorder another one. It took two weeks to get the unit after ordering.

This fireplace is not worth the money that I paid for it. Looks like tile around the fireplace it is not it is fake yellow wood color and it is so ugly. Also the insert fireplace does not fit properly and there is a 1 inch gap at the top so you can see right through it to the wall. Also the fireplace does not fit into the hole snuggly it doesn't look like the picture at all. So ugly... We ended up buying granite and putting granite around the fireplace. Looks nicer but when you pay that much for something you would think it would be alittle nicer. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

I purchased this as a gift for my wife and went through the instructions step by step in setting it up in an existing fireplace only to find that while it looks great it does not however produce hardly any heat at all. Unless you're standing, not sitting like you would a real fire place, but standing literally directly in front of it and over it you will not feel any heat. I contact the seller and was basically told that, "it was what it was", and I'd have to deal with it. Highly aggravated now since I already went through the not so simple task of trimming it out in order to fit the existing opening, as well as running wires up to the attic and then down behind the wall through to properly mount the thermostat control I now had to undo all I had accomplished in order to package it back up and send it back due to no cooperation or help of any kind from the seller. Amazon however was and usually are easy to deal with on returns. I would NOT recommend this product if you are expecting it to maintain some warmth in a room any bigger than a small bedroom or large closet. But again, we were impressed with it's all around look. So just don't purchase on any grounds to based on using it as a heater.

We bought our house with a very nice Heat n Glo Grand gas fireplace insert already installed, but it had no switch or remote. We liked the gas insert but it was inconvenient to use with the control panel at the base of the unit. I ordered this remote to mainly use as a wall switch (it has a bracket to hold the remote on the wall). It was very simple to install--just plug the two wires for the transmitter into the two wires at the bottom of the unit. The transmitter tucks right in behind the panel and the remote worked without any tinkering. Now we use our insert all the time. The thermostat feature on the remote works great. Our living room is so inviting and toasty now! We could have bought the same thing from our local dealer but the price was better and Prime delivery made it much more convenient.
