Discount Shabbat Hot Plate - 17.75" x 27.75" Extra Large - Black

Customer Ratings:

I use this hot plate in my print shop. It was a much cheaper option than those available at art supply stores, a good value for the price. However, it does bow up in the middle and doesn't have an adjustable thermostat. I have to unplug it when it gets to hot.

Reviews of Oasis PFSE1SHS Odyssey Hot 'N Cold Bottleless Water Cooler

Customer Ratings:

The included twist lock filter (charcoal) is shipped separately, but has the twist lock adapter on it that you MUST snap off before inserting it in the case. The shipping carton stank and the metal case was slightly crumpled, but it wasn't worth sending back just for that. Also the diverter plate under the top and inside the foam water container broke loose during shipping. It was easy to snap back into place, but the first batch of water drained out the hit and then nothing. So it works, but took a bunch of tinkering to get it working again.

Received one of these as a gift and have used twice now, doing multiple batches of beef jerky on each use. This product is amazing in that you can make decent jerky in about two hours for the slightly moist type, and in about 4 and a half hours you can have about totally dry jerky the kind you can snap off a piece with your hand. I was amazed about how fast you can make beef jerky with this thing, I was under the false impression that it would at least take overnight not with this thing! I am now looking to expand its capacity of trays, comes with 5 but you can expand to 14 total...

The beef jerky preparation process IS like work, so don't think it is an easy process. There is a reason that the stores get so much money for jerky, but if you are a jerky lover and don't mind some work this could be just the ticket for you! Pay close attention to all the food preparation handling instructions and proper food safety instructions and you will have a great machine for many years.

Tip when making jerky, I learned when making some "pepper" type recently, the drier the jerky, the stronger the pepper flavor, doing the pepper flavor only two hours had much less of a bite. So, it seems the drier the stronger at least on the pepper flavor type enjoy. (Note: on our "pepper" process, we had already cut the pepper mix by half, with the original flavor... but with the 4.5 hour dry time, it was still too peppery for me, wife loved it!)

This is a great item. I use it all the time. We have a small apt. and not alot of storage space. Using this lets me make things small and they take very little space to store. I didn't know anything about dehydrating food before I bought this so I bought a book that will help you if you are just starting out. I learned a lot of do's and don'ts. The food taste sometimes even better when you eat it because it causes the the flavor to intensify. Yum!!! It is very much worth it. The one thing I myself had a problem with is that it doesn't have an on/off switch. I found the answer for that, I put one on the cord. Now I have no problem. :)

This is a very elegant and realistic looking fire place. It has different settings for temperature from 62-82 and a timer if you want to use from 30min to 9hours. It also has separate settings for the flames and for the logs, making them look like they are burning bright and hot or dimming them down to look like they are about to go out. You can also turn on the heater without having the flames or effects on. It's pretty quiet, sounding like air blowing from a fan but not loud or annoying. Putting together can be a challenge and some parts may need two people. The cam bolt and cam lock are the ones I had trouble with, not all of them wanted to lock, but enough of them did to make it feel sturdy. A little note when putting it together, don't apply to much pressure you can easily crack or go through the wood. Other than that it looks nice and heats up the room well and everything can be controlled by a little remote.

Review of Bionaire BH3930-U Galileo Digital Console Heater with Remote Control

Customer Ratings:

This is absolutely the best heater available. It is essentially the same as the Bionaire BH3900 (see reviews there), but this one has a wireless remote control that allows you to set it at a certain temperature, and it will maintain that temperature consistently. Just like the reviews said about the BH3900, this unit is almost silent, except for a soft "click" when it toggles on/off, as well as a slight crackling sound, which is produced as the elements expand and contract. It is very safe, as the heat comes up from the top, not the side, so the side will at most feel warm, not dangerously hot. The remote makes this heater from good to GREAT, because you can set the heater to the exact temperature that you want. No more guessing and playing with unlabeled dials. Also, you can set the remote to the other side of the room and it will only turn off after the entire room is warmed to that temperature. Then, when the temperature drops by one degree, it will kick on again to heat things up. We have a two year old in the house, so we keep this unit in his room. We can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that regardless of how cold it is outside, we know EXACTLY what the temperature will be in his room.

There is one potential problem with this unit. If you press the "mode" button too fast on the remote, it will become out of sync with the heater. For example, if you want to set it to auto-low, you would have to press the mode button three times (low->high->autolow->autohigh). If you press the button too fast, then instead of autolow, the heater will think you want it to be on high instead. The remote will still show "auto low", but the heater will be set on high. This is bad, because if you leave this thing on high all night long, the room can get close to 100 degrees! There is a very simple solution to this, however. After you press the mode button on the remote, simply check the lights on the control panel of the heater to see if it is on the right mode. I always give it a quick glance after I set it on the remote, so it is always right and it always works perfectly.

One very strange thing about this unit is that it is generally not available anywhere. The BH3900 is available at a few places, but the more advanced BH3930 is not. It is not even available from the manufacturer at the time of this writing. So if you find one, new or used, buy it!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, provided the remote does not break. Without the remote you can set the heater to LOW or HIGH and in either case the room becomes a sauna! I have three of these heaters in my house, one for each bedroom, and with the remote they are really AMAZING (read the other reviews, they are 100% accurate). But I have broken one remote (the mode button is stuck) and misplaced another remote, and BIONAIRE does not have any additional remotes for sale. In fact they suggested that I return the heaters (even though I bought them 3 years ago at Sharper Image) and they would replace them with new BIONAIRE BH 3900, which are the same heathers but with no remote. So I think that Bionaire kileld this product because without the Galileo remote the heater is useless. That said I would pay just about any price to have two remotes, or for Bionaire to introduce a new units with BOTH a remote and an on board thermostat.

We are using this heater for three years and it still works great. There is really only one way to make a heater to keep an accurate room temperature to have a remote thermostat. It's so surprising that other manufacturers don't get it, so far I've only seen Bonaire heaters with remote wireless thermostat. We use it in our daughter's bedroom and for three years the heater kept the room temperature between 68 and 69 degrees at night. We also have a LaCrosse wireless temperature sensor installed in the same room and the temperature never fluctuated more then 2 degrees from the Bonaire setting. I think it's the best portable heater on the market.

Lasko 5367 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $41.99
Today's Bonus: 16% Off

I wanted to review this product for those who were mainly concerned about the amount of power this amazing electric heater draws. Another reviewer stated use of this product blew fuses in his abode repetitively; I too can confirm that behaviour... and you'll soon understand why.

The unit itself is sturdy and quiet. Oscillation is smooth, and the fan (whether being used to blow heated or non-heated air) emits a "whooshing" noise rather than a whine. The fan makes an acceptable level of background noise (I was able to sleep without any problems, and found it relaxing). The unit has 3 modes of operation, controlled by a dial: fan only (no heater), fan and heater (level 1), and fan and heater (level 2). Oscillation is controlled via a separate button, as is temperature controlled via a separate dial. The amount of heat this unit can put out -despite being adjustable -is excellent. The power cord has a 2-prong connector.

But as previously mentioned, the power draw is downright unreasonable. The specifications claim a maximum of 1500W, but the unit absolutely will draw a lot more than that at times. Below are the readings (using a Kill-a-Watt metre, measuring amperage and wattage at 120V) and what features/adjustments were set to. This will surely shock many readers.

Fan only operation: 0.20 to 0.25 amps, 14 to 17 watts

Fan and heater (level 1): 7.4 to 8.0 amps, 750 to 830 watts

Fan and heater (level 2): 14.3 to 14.75 amps, 1450 to 1610 watts

Oscillation added approximately 0.02 amps and an additional 3 watts no matter what mode the unit was set to.

These numbers are accurate, and "double confirmed" by blowing fuses in my apartment numerous times. I even lost a generic (low-grade) power strip as a result. Readers should be aware that in most homes, a single power circuit (not outlet!) is usually 15 amps, so the chance of a fuse blowing as a result of this unit being used is quite high assuming other electronics (computers, etc.) are on the same circuit.

Furthermore, when considering the wattage drawn, think for a moment of your electric bill.

If your home has numerous dedicated 15 or 20 amp circuits, this product is definitely for you and will keep you extremely warm. If you rent an older flat like I do, expect there to be limited/shared circuits with 15 amps maximum, which means you should probably be looking for a unit that draws less power. Yes, you could run the unit at "level 1", but it's significantly warmer and more effective at "level 2".

I'm giving this product 3/5 stars given its decent build quality, silent operation, and effectiveness (I would give it 3.5 if Amazon supported half-star ratings). I'm docking stars due to the absurd power requirements given that most US abodes use 15 amp circuits, with newer homes using 20 amp.

I really like this heater. Got one for Christmas, to replace my office space heater which had just burnt out;however, my office doesn't open until after New Years Day, so we used it at the house, as the weather turned cold. It worked WONDERFULLY, better than I expected! And the oscillating feature is a MUST what I used to hate about my old heater was that it always projected heat in the same, small area and I was forever moving it around to avoid getting one spot too hot this heater doesn't have that problem. It works great!

The fan was quiet and the oscillating tower was good at spreading the heat around. Overall, a good little heater for the price!

Honest reviews on Lasko 5367 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I purchased two of these heaters this winter. They have worked great. They may not be 100% silent, but they are about as quiet as you can get for a space heater with a fan. I use one on the low setting in my two stall detached garage to keep it at about 45 degrees. I use the other in a 21' x 11' room in the house. It easily and quickly warms this room. I only have a couple of little complaints. The oscillating feature is nice for heat distribution, but the arc range that it sweeps could be greater. Also, it doesn't have tip over safety protection. It only has overheat protection. These cons are not enough to drop it from 5 to 4 stars, though.

I have tried a couple of different space heaters over the years. I had some digital resistive element Vornados. They heated the room and moved the air nice, but they all just up and died. Too bad too, because they were not cheap. I had a digital Holmes that worked like and had all the same features as the Vornados, but it too died. I have a Pelonis Safe-T ceramic heater. It still functions and puts out good heat, but it is pretty loud. When it comes to space heaters, what I have concluded is that digitally controlled heaters are not reliable. I think the circuitry just can't handle the elevated case temperatures. Since I haven't had the Laskos very long, I can't speak for their durability, but I think the manual thermostat will mean longer life. Overall, these Lasko heaters do it all at a good price. And, I won't feel as sick if they fail as I did with the Vornados.

This is my 2nd Lasko 5367 after trying several lower cost space heaters that all broke. My first one held up for 3 & 1/2 years in near constant 'on-high' and just gave out earlier in this year.

The size is great, reaching close enough to the floor to keep your feet warm. The oscillating button on top w/ the controls make adjusting the temperature easy to reach.

The fan feature is great for cooling down a room and takes about a minute to feel the cooler temp if you've been running it on the heating settings.

Easily warms up a small to med size chilly room very quickly and is very quiet.

I would suggest using this product with a grounding outlet on a different fuse from any high power electronic because it packs a lot of power for its size.

There are ventilation slots on the back that are easy to clean but, I don't recommend using it in a bathroom, unless you remove it before running a shower to protect it from steam.

Obviously, you should keep children and pets away from it, but at the same time, it's a rather no-worry, very solid and extremely difficult to tip over product with a heat overload protection built in.

I just got my new one and if it holds up like my 1st, I can't think of a thing that makes this product not worth the price, especially w/a 3-yr manufacturer's warranty.

There is NO dial to turn to filter the oil and there is NO slide out container for the oil to filter itself into.

You CANNOT raise and lower the basket with the lid on as the basket hooks to drain the food only attaches over the top of the oil container and this would allow the oil to drip off the hooks onto the counter top.

NONE OF THE DESCRIPTION IS TRUE!!!

Who do I call to talk about these issues with? I still want the deep fryer that is described for the price that was listed...NOT SOME SUBSTITUTE!!!

This sensor allows the Honeywell thermostat to control humidity and ventilation indoors, taking into account outdoor temperature and humidity. It allows locking out the heat pump when outdoor temperature falls below the breakeven temperature. It also adjusts indoor humidity in order to avoid condensation on the inside of the windows. The only drawback is that it is not possible to calibrate the humidity sensor (the outdoor temperature reading can be calibrated/offset via the thermostat itself). The original unit I purchased was always reading much higher humidity levels than actual. The replacement unit shows accurate readings.

At first I was a bit frustrated that Honeywell chose to use a proprietary wireless communications standard their REDlink protocol instead of WiFi, but I suppose now I understand why. All their little devices run on AA batteries, and WiFi would certainly use too much power. At any rate, this little guy shows the outside temp and humidity back to your Honeywell 'stat, in my case, a Prestige 2.0 HD. Very cool.

Reviews of Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser

List Price: $599.99
Sale Price: $499.99
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

It was 'ignaugurated' at a party I hosted, and the 5 gal keg didn't last long! (Of course, it was a good beer...locally brewed Pacific Coast Emerald Ale.)

Be prepared: After it's set up and you've had people over, you're going to be QUITE popular! Expect comments like "I'm going to be over at your place every afternoon." Haier America should realize their best marketing ploy is satisfied customers. I've had it two weeks and Haier may be selling 3 additional units soon.

OK, so what about the product rating, especially in light of all the negative comments provided earlier? Well, here's my take on it:

Set up was fairly simple, if you discount the fact that one part was missing (see below).

Quality seems to be adequate. They use quality parts, e.g., the CO2 regulator and dispensing valve.

It's keeping my second (post party) keg perfectly chilled and pressurized. (Since the first keg only lasted several hours, we can't base much judgement on that.)

It's wonderful to come home to a fresh, draft beer!

Finding a place to refill the CO2 canister can be difficult. Most commercial places will only exchange (take your brand new canister and give you a used, filled canister). I finally found a fire extinguisher service that does refills after making MANY calls.

Does this make it perfect? Hardly.

My experience confirms that Haier America has poor customer service. I purcased the unit a week in advance of a party I was hosting. After getting it home and setting it up, I realized (according to the manual) that it was missing the washer that goes between the CO2 tank and the regulator. I called Haier customer service the following morning and was shocked by how they treated me. The basic tone of their response was "tough luck." I would have to follow their procedures which were: 1) fax or send via US mail my purchase receipt 2) Allow them two business days from their receipt of this to get back to me 3) After doing a 'confirmation' they would send me the washer within two weeks.

I was irate and told them so! I had purchased the unit specifically for my upcoming party and now would not be able to use it! Their reponse: "These are our procedures."

I did two things after this:

1) I located the manufacturer of the CO2 regulator and contacted them about the possibility of getting a washer. They informed me that the regulator was redesigned and did not need a washer. Haier was supposed to include an update with their user manual (they didn't, and customer service obviously wasn't aware of this change).

2) I located information on Haier America and faxed their CEO an scathing letter telling him what I thought about spending $500 for something and not being able to use it at the function I bought it for! Lo and behold, the next day I received a call from their corporate offices saying they would be overnighting me the missing washer. I explained I had learned it wasn't needed, but the woman calling me wasn't taking any chances. She overnighted it to me anyway. Moral of the story: Make your voice heard when you recieve bad service.

Anyway, my 'washerless' set up is now working fine and I'm loving the unit.

As the other reviewers have stated, the dispenser freezes in the back and does not thaw, nor does the temperature of the dispenser work correctly, mine runs warm even at the highest setting. Although customer service will document your call in Ottawa, their corporate office in New York will not return my call. The three repair numbers customer service gave me did no good as I was also told by one repair person that Haier does not reimburse the repairs and as a result they will not come out to my home. Customer service told me twice that they have recommended to the corporate office to replace my unit, but of the five to six calls I have placed over the past two months, I have not received any calls that any progress or action will be taken. I have been trying to get my dispenser serviced since September.

Overall, as far as the product goes, I have to say I'm quite happy with the beer dispenser. No problems with the temperature adjustment (but then, I'm not trying to keep my beer at 34 degrees), it pours nicely, the components seem to be high quality aside from the plastic hose clamps for the CO2 line, but those were easy to replace with metal ones at the hardware store.

However, I have to agree with the other reviewers, Haier's customer service is...challenging. My wife bought me the dispenser for Christmas (that's true love). She had it delivered to a neighbor's house so I wouldn't suspect anything. On December 26, I went to retrieve the box and set it up in my basement. Upon opening the unit, I discovered that a significant number of parts were missing LIKE THE ENTIRE CO2 SYSTEM, TAP, AND KEG CONNECTION. Basically I had a $600 mini-fridge. You'd think someone in shipping might notice that the box was 25 pound light, but, whatever.

I called Haier, and they were fairly helpful at first. They told me I should fax a list of the missing parts along with my proof of purchase, which I did. They then told me it would be a couple days to "validate" my claim, a couple days to process the order, and then two weeks for the parts to arrive. I called back every few days to see how things were going, and it was easy to get a real person on the phone each time, but these people weren't able to offer much information.

Apparently, Haier's parts warehouse is located on the dark side of the moon, because it was impossible for customer service to tell me when or how the parts would be shipping. No way to get a tracking number, no way to know if the parts were in stock, nothing. So, I waited patiently for three weeks. When the parts didn't show up, I called back and, surprise, they couldn't tell me what happened. I talked to a supervisor at Haier, and she told me the same thing. She started to resubmit the order, but several parts were now showing up as backordered on her screen, with no ETA available.

At this point, I was done with Haier. I called Amazon and explained my situation, and I said I wanted to get an exchange or a refund. At first, I was told to "contact the manufacturer." When I explained that I'd been doing that for the past month with no luck, they agreed to exchange it, no problem. They also said I wasn't the only one this happened to. Within two days, a replacement was on its way, and I had a tracking number. Thank you, Amazon.

So, I didn't have tap beer for Christmas, or New Year's, or my birthday, but I've got it for the Super Bowl, and it's good.

Honest reviews on Haier HBF05EBSS Draft Beer Dispenser

The place I get my kegs from gave me the right washer so I have not had any problems on that side whatsoever.

This was an impulse buy for me. Sure I did some research then one Saturday I was having a party and went and picked this up at the local Brandsmart. Beer would come out cold, not as cold as I'd like but not too warm. One thing I learned right away, you have to let the keg sit overnight before tapping inside the cooler. I'm new to this, so I did not know the pitfalls of tapping a warm keg. I came on here and read some of the reviews. It was not until about a month later that the temperature issue became a problem. I hesitated but took a previous poster's advice and now the beer is as cold as I like. I recommenc going for a half to 3/4 turn on the screw as opposed to a full one. You dont want the thing to run so much that it burns out. I would find it odd how the cooler would cycle on for about 5 minutes then off for 20. Now its on for 20-30 and off for the same. Nonetheless, my Michelob Light has never tasted better. I have not had to deal with Haier directly and from the looks of it, I hope I wont have to. This unit is a good value. Once you get past the temperature issue, you cant ask for a better deal. Both the tap and faucet are good quality as well as he Co2 tank. I recommend you get a better regulator with the "mickey mouse ears". One to tell you the pressure and the other how much gas is left in the tank. .

Yes I recommend this.

I purchased this product about a month ago, when Best Buy had it on sale for $499. It was a little bit of an impulse buy, so when I got a chance I jumped online to read some reviews. I was seriously concerned about the negative reviews here and at other sites, which were mainly concerning lack of service from the authorized service centers, but which also seemed to show a pattern where the kegerator would not keep the beer cold enough.

I promised myself that if I was happy with the product after a reasonable amount of time, I would post a review, just to balance things out.

I personally don't keep the beer below 34 degrees. Depending on what point in the cooling cycle the kegerator is, my beer is usually between 34 and 38 degrees. This is plenty cold enough for me but then again, I don't need a nipple for my beer mug. 8-) I have been happy with the cooling ability of the unit.

I'm still concerned that if I have any service issues, there may be a problem, fortunately I purchased the 3 year warranty offered by Best Buy for $24.95. Hopefully, that will allow me to get a replacement unit if I do have any issues.

At the sale price I was able to obtain the unit for, I think this is about the best bang for the buck (unless you make your own) for a kegerator that takes half barrels.
