Discount Honeywell RCT8100A 7-Day Programmable Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I bought two of these thermostats (one for each floor of the house) at Costco a few months ago for around $35 each. They installed quite easily. The instructions are thorough, well illustrated, and easy to follow. The unit allows you to program temps for 7 days of the week in 4 different periods of the day (ex. mornings, leaving the house, returning home, and evenings). I have noticed a definite savings in my electric bill since installing these units. No more cooling an empty house or coming home to a warm house in the summer. It even has a reminder indicator so you can change your filter. The temperature controls (up and down buttons) are located next to the large backlit LCD display. However, to access the setting buttons, you have to remove the faceplate. My only complaint is that the faceplate is not hinged to the unit or slides to the side. No big deal though as these controls are seldom used. Another reviewer here rated this thermostat 1-star entirely based on the faceplate. That's ridiculous! Unless you have hands like the Hulk, the faceplate is easily removed.

I highly recommend this thermostat.

This is a great thermostat for saving money... seven day programable and easy to use... we share office space and it took everyone a few weeks to get comfortable with adjustments... it is simple and straight forward, all you have to do is read out of the book... i have recently ordered our second one for our hOMe... all the fuss over the cover-plate is just silly... yeah, it might not be like "easy" flip doors that you might be used to but all you have to do is slow down and exercise some patience and learn how the "New" one works... silly to knock a product because of some cosmetic issue you have... it is OK to mention design, but "How does the product WORK?" It is GREAT... like i said, it SAVES US MONEY!

The installation instructions for this model are uncharacteristically poor. Despite having installed similar units, I ended up puzzled and without air conditioning because of a mysterious unaccounted-for wire. The electrician who came out said ours was the second Honeywell RCT8100A that he'd rewired THAT DAY that they're popular because Home Depot and Costco carry them but the directions are "lousy."

The thing runs just fine now that the wiring is correct; the case and buttons are sturdy; the display is easy to read; the clock and programs are easy to set; the cost is moderate.

BUT users need to know something else, which I finally found online: With this model, if you turn the temperature up or down a bit (overriding the programming with a manual setting), it will NOT return to the programmed settings when the next time period starts. Other Honeywell models do, other brands do, and it seems clearly desirable that they should. Nevertheless, this model will retain your manual setting until you pry off the face plate and press "Mode" and make sure the little house icon is showing and not flashing in the lower lefthand corner.

So all in all, I'd suggest another Honeywell model. It's a good company. This model was just not their best effort.

Honest reviews on Honeywell RCT8100A 7-Day Programmable Thermostat

I thought I got a good deal from Costco at $36.99 for a name brand thermostat. After I opened it, I can not believe I need to remove the cover to turn ON/OFF the system. Not sure which genius designed it....and who was the supervisor to approve production? This should win the worst product design of the year. Returning back to Costco ASAP.

I am buying the 6350 for the same price on Amazon, yeah!!

This is the most awful thermostat avoid this unit. You will regret it, break it, then ultimately replace it despite the cash investment and sufficient feature set.

Before I begin, understand that my husband and I take care of our things. We maintain appliances, autos, shoes (etc) with great care, ensuring their usefulness long after their expected lifetimes. That said, we've had this thermostat a year and are today purchasing a replacement.

I just broke the front panel to this infuriating appliance. The design is flawed there is no natural release mechanism to get into the controls beyond the up and down arrows they are all behind the panel. To remove the panel, you pry it off with your hand. We've looked over it's design over and over, yet there is no means of safely removing the panel without prying it off with all 5 fingers. Worse yet, when it comes free, it resets and you are obliged to spend 10 minutes to reprogram the thing. Now we don't even bother we've given up.

It's absolutely awful. Spend your cash on any other unit even one that isn't programmable. This will save you more money than this terrible thermostat.

Reviews of Danby DWC276BLS 27-Bottle Silhouette Wine Cellar - Black/Stainless

Customer Ratings:

We had removed an old trash compactor from the original owner of our house and needed to fill this odd 12" opening in our cabinet. This wine cooler was perfect. Brainless to install, and runs great. Only complaint is that it's a bit noisy...

This product seems to work fine and looks good. It just seems very expensive considering other models I have considered. The biggest selling point for me was the size. It was the only one that fit the undercounter space I had. So, for that, I am grateful.

Best Deals on Danby DWC276BLS 27-Bottle Silhouette Wine Cellar - Black/Stainless

We moved/downsized to a smaller home and were forced to sell our much larger U-Line wine refrigerator. Space limitations required that we buy two narrow (12" wide) Danby wine cellars, one for whites and the other for reds. I don't have them under-counter installed, I have them situated back to back at the end of a double width kitchen island. The exterior is black so you hardly notice they are there with our dark coutertops & dark wood cabinetry. I reversed the door on one unit so now they both open away from the island You must open the door wide to slide out shelves. The height is about 1.5" below the 36" height of the island so my carpenter son is going to build a butcher block walnut cover to extend across the tops of the two units. The shelves have stainless fronts which blend well with our modern kitchen design. The shelves slide out a little balky when loaded but I've gotten used to it. The storage configuration of each shelf is economical and 4 "normal" height & shape wine bottles will fit on each shelf including fatter Pinot Noir bottles. Taller shouldered bottles and sparkling wine bottles make the fit a little less efficient as you can only get 2-3 non-standard shapes on each shelf. So... I only get about 21 bottles in each unit, instead of the specified 27, with my typical mix of bottle types. These two units have maintained very stable temperature thus far, even through a recent heat wave. The operating noise level, which seems to come mostly from the fan inside, isn't any louder than our new GE refrigerator, we hardly notice it. I haven't identified any particular noise from the compressor operation. Visually, I like the small door handle at the top of the door, no knee-knockers in the kitchen! The blue interior lighting is subtle and you can turn it off if desired. With the interior lighting off, you can only see the blue digital temp reading. I cannot comment yet on long term reliability as I've only had the two Danbys for a couple of weeks. However, they do have a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, twice as long as other comparable 12" wide models like Whynter and Edgestar.

Good little fridge. The disco-blue hued cabinet light is unfortunate, but better than no light at all. It is a decent buy.

Manufacturer's packing leaves a lot to be desired. After 4 delivery attempts, I finally received an undamaged cooler. It fit perfectly where the old trash compactor had been. Looks great and so far it is working great.

I love this little heater! I bought this to help heat my trailer. It does such a great job that my furnace has hardly kicked on, even on the 32 degree and below nights we have already had! I really like how you can set the temperature and the heater actually seems to run and heat according to the actual room temp, not the heaters temp or the immediate areas temp. When I was out looking at heaters, a Lowe's employee told me that the thermostat is on the top of the heater so the closer to the floor you can place it the more accurate the heater's thermostat will read, so therefore the heater will run more accurately. I have mine set about 18" off the floor at one end of a 450sq. ft area. My thermostat is across the room and reads fairly close to what I have the heater set for!!!

I also bought this for the safety features. The outside stays cool and if it tips over it shuts off. I have a curious 1 year old so these features were very important to me. It also has a slim design so it fits well up buy the wall out of the way. It is pretty quiet too.

I highly recommend this heater and intend to buy one for my bedroom as well!

Enjoy a softly warm flow of circulated heat by selecting this very quiet heater's oscillation that rotates up to about ½ circle.

Here's how it has been designed to save up to 35% on electricity, which means a small contribution to lowering greenhouse gases on the top of this heater is its Energy Smart knob that has six basic settings: -"frost watch" 65 F. 70 F. 75 F. 80 F. maximum heat.

On "Maximum Heat" the heater goes full force and does not save electricity. On the other settings the heater automatically selects the appropriate power level to best accommodate your desired temperature selected. As the temperature in the room approaches the set temperature, the heater will automatically lower the power consumption and provide consistent warmth without wasting energy. This also means your room will heat to the set temperature without overheating the room -a real nice feature.

The illuminated LED lights indicate what the current room temperature is. The "frost watch" automatically turns the unit on if the temperature drops below 55 F. to help protect against freezing of pipes or frost damage.

This heater also has an auto-off tip over switch and Overheat Protection; plus a 3 year warranty. And, its operation is almost silent and it's cool to the touch. Five stars for Honeywell's design and quality control of this Made in China product.

I bought this heater at Wal-Mart for $40.00 so Amazon's price is higher plus it doesn't include taxes and shipping. The unit itself is wonderful. I have a 15x14 bedroom and it gets my room up to 80 degrees in no time. It's not extremely quiet but it's not so loud that it drowns out the TV. I love the fact you can tell what temperature it is in the room right on the heater and that it swivels back and forth on it's own. The feature that was most important to me is that the front face/grill of it wouldn't be hot to the touch and no matter what the temperature it stays cool. So I don't have to worry about anyone getting burned or it tipping over on something and burning the house down.

I bought another heater (smaller) for my office cubicle and that one's going back because it throws heat but only in one direction and the front/grill gets hot. For it to be effective it would have to sit on my desk and that's not possible. So, I'll just pick-up another Honeywell. I highly recommend this Honeywell heater, I haven't had to turn on the heat so far and with these units I hopefully won't have to all winter long.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Cool Touch Oscillating Heater w/ Smart Energy Digital

This is my first negative review on Amazon. I bought two of these space heaters, and both of them failed within the first year. One turns on but the heating element doesn't heat up. The other overheats anytime it's turned on, then shuts itself off. Talk about poor quality control! I wouldn't waste your time with these Honeywell heaters; try any other brand first.

This is a good heater. I have it and it serves it's purpose good. What I wanted to say most importantly is that the cord is very long. What most people do not realize is that it is wrapped up underneath the base...so it is hidden. If you look underneath you'll see it...it's a storage compartment for the cord.

I can't begin to tell you the abuse I've subjected this product to.

1Used it on my RV. Probe was outside from freezing to desert for 6000 miles.

2Took it up to Alaska and back, 15,000 miles.

3Used it to determine the temp. of my developing solution (very caustic chemicals).

4Now it's being pecked by chickens in my brooder.

I seem to never replace batteries in this. I can only remember doing it twice in 6 years.

Buy this product. Have no worries. It truly is a 5-star product.

2012 Update: Still works in my classroom. I think, after the nuclear armageddon, it will be the only piece of tech surviving.

After reading a ton of reviews, I decided all of the moderately priced digital thermometers had flaws so I went with the brand that overall seemed well rated (Oregon Scientific). I also read that remote sensors were problematic so I chose this model because it uses an attached (wired) sensor. I am delighted with the performance of this model. I followed the instructions and placed the outdoor sensor in a protected location (the wire fits easily under my window (even with it locked for the winter). I've checked the indoor temp against my thermostat and it is within a few tenths of a degree. I've checked the outdoor temp against weather.com and the local radio station and it is also within tenths of a degree. That's accurate enough for me! I love having the clock too and the back-lighting comes in handy during the winter when it is dark in the morning. If you have a nearby window to run the wire through, you really can't go wrong with this thermometer.

This does what you want it to. Accurately tells the temp indoor and outside and refreshes itself about every 30 seconds. What more could you ask for? Theres also a blue backlight so you can press any button during the nightime. It also functions as a clock with an Alarm but I dont use it.

Honest reviews on Oregon Scientific THT312 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer Clock

I bought this to monitor the evening outdoor temperature. When it finally cools off enough outside, I turn the air conditioner off and run just the fan on fresh air. This was simple to set up and seems to work flawlessly. I like that a change in temperature registers very quickly in tenths of a degree.

The Oregon Scientific Thermometer and Clock is incredibly durable. I bought it from Targét 5 years ago and it still works as well as the day I bought it!

The LCD display is large enough so that it can be easily read from about 15' away. It has a backlight that you can turn on with the push of a button, which is conveniently located in front of the unit. The LCD screen has three lines for:

1) Time

2) Indoor Temperature

3) Outdoor Temperature

The unit has a 10' long probe for monitoring outdoor temperature (or the temperature of the location where you chose to place the probe).

Features

--------

Maximum / Minimum Temperature

The readings don't show the max/min temperature for the day. It only shows the max/min temperature *since these readings have been last reset*.

The Maximum / Minimum Temperature reading can be accessed with the right-most button on the front of the unit.

> When the button is pressed, lines (2) and (3) display the Maximum Indoor Temperature and Maximum Outdoor Temperature, respectively.

> Press the button a second time to access the Minimum Indoor Temperature and Minimum Outdoor Temperature.

> Press the button a third time to revert the display for lines (2) and (3) to the Indoor Temperature and Outdoor Temperature, respectively.

> Press and Hold the button to reset both the Maximum and the Minimum Temperatures.

Alarm

The alarm is a little soft and chimes for just a minute. The time of the alarm can be accessed with the left-most button.

Backlight

The backlight is bright and makes the LCD display easy to read in the dark or in dim lighting. The backlight can be accessed with the button in the middle.

Degree F or Degree C

The temps can be displayed in either degree Fahrenheit or in degree Celsius (AKA degree Centigrade).

Conclusion

----------

The Oregon Scientific Thermometer and Clock is a durable piece of equipment. The controls are user-friendly and intuitive. Its large and easy-to-read LCD display helps you to easily read the indoor and outdoor temperatures. Definitely recommended!

Reviews of DeLonghi 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Machine, Conveniently uses Pods

Customer Ratings:

I was excited when I ordered thinking finally a pump espressor for home that worked. This is my fifth pump espresso machine in less than 5 years.It was the same old story no pressure. I followed the book; bought grinds from fine, medium fine, medium and tried regular coffee. When I could finally get water through the coffee, there was no flavor. It was colored water. The one sure positive, it was quiet. I've already returned it in less than 30 days. Even though I bought it through Amazon, I still had to contact the third-party (Superior Sales) to return it and had to pay all shipping even for a defective product. I'm still waiting for a refund. That's a black mark against Amazon. It even suprised my spouse. I did not order a replacement.
