This coffee maker WAS great! Now, less than a year later, it switches from Brew mode to Keep Warm ("Ready") mode prematurely before coffee is half brewed. It now delivers "coffee-stained" water that is not too warm. I think the thermostat has gone south because "Ready" light comes on rather quickly now and brewing stops abruptly. Good while it lasted; wasted money in retrospect.

I bought 2 of these at the same time, for a catering service. One burnt out within the first couple weeks, at a job site. I had to run to target and buy a cheap 12-cup coffee maker. It made me look unprofessional. A couple months later, the other one burnt out at another job. I had to drive 25 miles round-trip, to pick-up an older urn I had for a replacement. Again, it made me look unprofessional. DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE. YOU'LL REGRET IT!

I use 30-100 cup coffee urns regularly for classes that I teach. I purchased two imported Waring Pro 55 cup urns. Just like the other reviews, one of mine malfunctioned after only half a dozen uses, resulting in lightly colored hot water rather than coffee. I have been using WestBend Coffee Urns for many years. You can't kill West Bend coffee urns. I liked the Waring stainless steel because it required much less scrubbing than the aluminum West Bend products. But from now on, my future purchases will be West Bend performance over good looks. My Waring now sits looking pretty but useless, until I place it in my recyling bin, or start using valuable time writing letters to Waring to try to get them to replace it.

I Bought one of these to use for parties. So everybody could have coffee throughout the night. What i really use it for now is to brew tea. I put 15 tea bags in the top and fill to about 50 cups with water and have fresh tea for 3 days. I have had this unit for a year now, and so far no problems. I recommend this unit to any entertainer, or anybody that would like alot of coffee or tea.

BE CAREFUL TANK IS SUPER HOT WHEN ITS BREWING.

We bought this coffee urn for our Church. It gets used once a week and after a few months it no longer perks. It sounds like it's perking, but by the time the ready light comes on, it still looks like stained water and the grounds are still mostly dry. The instruction booklet says to replace the rubber caps at each end of the tube in order for the unit to continue to brew properly. There are no rubber caps and no available parts on-line that I can find! Perhaps we lost the caps??? I don't know, but we can't even replace them! Don't waste your money, this coffee urn is a dud.

Review of VillaWare V5000-NS Prima Pizzelle Baker Non-stick

Customer Ratings:

The works great! We have used it for a couple of weeks now and we haven't had any trouble. Our old one that was made by a different company wasn't very durable and was pain to deal with. However this is very easy to setup. Just plug it in and start mixing the batter. Then spoon about 1/2 to 3/4 a tablespoon onto the iron and lightly press down. After about 35-45 seconds, lift the iron and pullout the pizzelles. It takes a little time to get good at it, but once you get good, they'll become your favorite snack! It comes with a recipe book too!

Okay, I grew up eating my families pizzelles, so I consider myself an expert on how they should look, feel and taste! We have a guarded secret recipe that is only passed down generation to generation. Everyone that has ever had my families pizzelles, has said that they have just tasted heaven!

Now, for this iron, I highly recommend it! It heats up so quick, has the indicator light and their not lying to you when they say 30 seconds for 2 pizzelles! And it does come with a recipe book, there's one in there that is very close to ours, it's by an italian lady, so I would follow her recipe. Use Anise oil in your batter!!!

1st thing, before you even plug it in, rub the iron down with vegetable or olive oil, trust me. For cleaning, it's so easy, just wipe it down with a paper towel. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER, I don't care what the manual says!! You don't need to remove the grates, while it's cooling down and you've unplugged, simply wipe it down with a paper towel, that's it!! Folds great for storage on the counter or cupboard.

I have tried many irons, and this one is the best. After I bought it, my Mom and Mommom ordered the same. 3 generations can't be wrong!

My wife and I bought this item over a year ago, and I have to say, it's done it's job really well.

Pizzelles were one thing my wife enjoyed from her childhood, as her mom made them, and when we got married, I hadn't really tried them. Her mother had some made on a visit, I loved them, so we had to get this maker.

It works great, doesn't have a lot of runoff (due to the shape of the baking area), and the shape / patterns on the iron make for some visually appealing pizzelles as well. A definite plus in the kitchen to have!

Honest reviews on VillaWare V5000-NS Prima Pizzelle Baker Non-stick

I recently got married, and my sisters purchased this for my shower. Our mother's family is Italian, and pizzelles were always a treat when we were growing up. As I got older, I made them myself using my mother's old iron, and as a bride, I wanted to have my own. This iron is very easy to use and makes perfect pizzelles. After the iron heats up (about 7-8 minutes), it makes two cookies in about 30 seconds. You may have to adjust the amount of batter used as well as the cooking time in order to get the perfect shape and doneness, but the results of this trial and error are well worth it. The pizzelles remove from the iron easily with a spatula; I experienced no sticking, and clean up was a breeze. Highly recommended!

Third heater works excellent very pleased with heater live in a 1000 square foot apt. Turned off heat pump heats up about 2 degrees a hour. So far a great heater an I would recommend it to everyone as a extra source of heat. Saves me money on power bill. Hope it will hold up and last.

This little guy was plugged in and went to work immediately, heating our 16x20 living room built on a concrete slab addition. It has a mechanism to prevent overheating, so we tend to leave it on all day and night in the coldest weather...which can be pretty cold here in central Michigan. The ONLY thing we don't like (and it's rather trivial) is that you can't have the heater on without the flame effect. Again, not a big issue, since the flames are pretty realistic looking, when compared to almost all other models. It comes with a remote, although we never use it. It's not too big and has a very nice rustic appearance that goes perfect with our "lodge themed" living room. It also doesn't weight a ton, so it can be moved to wherever it is needed, but is still solid little unit.

I was amazed on how real it looks. everything came in good working order. I received the item just like Amazon claimed. I am very happy with the product. I would purchase another one. you can actually open the door and touch the fire and the sides are not hot either. therefore, it safe for children and pets. I checked the heater on it and the heat comes from the bottom. the heat comes out hot which is a good sign. I love my new electric fireplace thanks Amazon for having great vendors.

Honest reviews on Dimplex DS2205 Compact Electric Stove, Black

I love this stove. It looks good-very realistic-and heats well. I use it in an open living room, dining room, and kitchen area. I turn it on when I sit down to watch television. It will always raise the temperature in that area 2-3 degrees, so you can turn down your main heat source. It is not very heavy, so it can easily be moved from one area to another. There is no setup required; just plug it in. If I had a place to put it, I would buy another!

The cord on this machine actually melted. My step-father has an electrician background and just bought a heavier duty cord and plug in for this machine. The whole cord got too hot and started to melt; he replaced it as soon as he notice the cable failing. This is a fire hazard and anyone purchasing this needs to watch for it.

Just installed this fan and am very happy with it. Quiet, moves plenty of air and relatively easy to install. One comment is the instructions don't emphasize that both the fan and the diffuser are directional, that is, they each have an opening which must face the other. If this is not noticed, either unit's housing would block the air flow towards the other unitTjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator Hardwired, Model# AS1. Another thing to note is the possibility of a 'block' in the wall cavity. If one unit is mounted high and the other low, one needs to probe the cavity to make sure there is not a 2x4 block midway. The hard part of this installation is accessing and wiring power to the fan, which can involve cutting access holes in the wall and possibly installing a junction box. Not for the casual do it yourself person.

In short, a professional product and far better than the usual cheap, noisy bathroom fan.

The first thing I noticed out of the box was surprisingly high quality (heavy motor) for the price. Yes, you can hear it, but that is to be expected a fan has a motor and moves air, both of which create noise. Don't expect it to BLAST air into the other room; it will be close to a light breeze, yet quite effective.

Like some others, I needed to move air from a very hot wood-stove heated room. Much of the rest of the house becomes cold once the thermostat is satisfied by the stove. It was pretty easy to install, just be careful to cut the holes in your walls to the exact size of the template. Also, it is easy to verify if there is a fire block/stop in your wall, but it will require making some holes: Before installation, drop a small chain or string with a weight tied to the end in a small test hole at the location where you intend to install the upper part of the system and check to see if it drops as far as a hole that you will need to make in the adjcent wall at the installation location of the lower end of the system. Before making any holes, be certain to make sure you are in the same framing bay!

To move heat, you will install the fan unit as high as possible on the the wall of the warm room. (Not too high or right against the ceiling or else it will look terrible and you run the risk of a framing obstruction 4-6 inches from the ceiling is about right.) Conversely, you will install the exhaust vent low on the wall of the cool room. You do this for obvious reasons: heat rises, so drawing air from high in the warm room and exausting it low into the cool room gives the best results.

Overall: Highly recommended.

I'm actually using this to transfer from one floor to the floor above it in an attempt to get the nice cool air from our walk-out into the hot family room during the summer.

The unit is not inexpensive, but it is quality made and shipped in a sturdy box to protect it.

Honest reviews on Tjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator - Hardwired, Model# AS1

I tried using this ventilator to move the hot air near the wood stove to the adjoining room. The web site and product info did not offer any guidelines on room dimensions that this fan is good for. My rooms are way too big so it was a complete wrong fit. I think it is a good product but it needs much better advice on how to use it. I think it would work well for small rooms.

It was easy to install, but like other reviews I was thinking it would move more air. But we are using it for moving air from one floor to the next like the directions say not to. So over all please with it.

I originally bought a single-stage Honeywell Digital Thermostat, but it was the wrong one. Apparently I needed a two-stage thermostat for a heat pump. This thermostat did the trick and was easy to install. It has a number of enhanced features that allow you put it in an automatic setting so you don't have to switch between heat and cool. A great two-stage digital thermostat for the money!

Very Versatile Thermostat. Will easily program to work with a number of different types of systems such as heatpump, oil and gas, electric, multistage units. I am very impressed with this one. Highly recommended!

I had this thermostat for about a month on a new furnace before replacing it with a TH7500D so I could have 7 day program-ability. It kept very even temps and is fairly easy to operate.

Be forewarned however that the ease or difficulty of the installation has almost nothing to do with the thermostat itself. It is determined by the equipment you have installed and the manner in which they were installed. Have a simple furnace wired using the standard scheme and it will be 15min easy. Have a heat pump with a two-stage fossil fuel backup,two stage AC that was installed by a non-conformist plumber and it may take a while to sort out. Use the labels include to label the wires as they are removed from the old. If your equipment or wire combo isn't in the install instructions call tech support.

You must use the manual to program it the first time because the screen just shows you a code that means nothing without the manual.

This model is normally not available to homeowners....only contractors...It is FAR superior to the same Focus Pro 6000 available to homeowners at your local hardware store. I highly recommend this model even though they say homeowners should only allow a licensed contractor install this unit. It has MANY awesome features that do need to be set properly, but I disagree with other reviewers who said the instructions are hard to follow and engineers and contractors could not understand the directions. I am not in the heating and air biz...I am not exactly Mr. Know it all...if I could figure this out so easily, anybody should be able to...The set-up and wiring was very easy.....It took me about 3 5 minutes to remove my old thermostat and wire this one up....very easy..(I have a 2/1 stage unit with emergency and aux heat, cool and etc..)....I was really sorta shocked it was so easy to wire up and the instructions were very clear, although not really needed..this is like the thermostat for dummies.....awesome features, but very, very easy for anybody to install, set up, program and etc.....After wiring the unit I went in to set-up....It was a breeze...lots of features...very easy to figure out how to set up all features, activate them, deactivate them and etc.....Only had it for 3 days now but so far I absolutely love it and would highly recommend this model. Do not be swayed by the talk of it being too hard to figure out and buy the homeowner model instead. There is no comparrison between the two...They are similarily priced, but this model has so many more features and is very easy to use.....And the features on this not available on the homeowner model will seriously save you some money and works very well to "work with your unit to ensure optimal efficiency as well as 'protecting' your system". I got mine for $50 which was actually cheaper then the Focus Pro 6000 'homeowner model' sold at Home Depot. And again, there is no comparrison...This model is so much better and is very easy for anybody to figure out...If I could do it so easily, I find it hard to believe that engineers and so called experts could not figure this out.....I mean it is so easy I just cant believe the reviews that say experts could not figure it out....Buy this model....you will not regret it and if you got past the 3rd grade, you wont have any problems installing this unit and setting it up....If I could install it in about 3 5 minutes, anybody can....Setting it up took about 10 15 minutes (probably less, but I was double checking every setting) as it does have about 20 or 30 'features' that need to be set...but each setting was a breeze and easy to understand....Once done, you just need to play with your scheduling to find the right temps and right schedule for your lifestyle...Lastly, since installing this I am now wondering if my old thermostat (was not that old...was a very nice programmable Bryant that I had no complaints with) was not "In Sync" with my heating/cooling system or maybe it was, but this models features make everything work better...My system now heats faster and cools faster in far less time and the unit runs about half as much as before I installed this unit...I am thoroughly impressed after only 3 days..well today is actually day 4......Great unit!!!

Reviews of Pleasant Hearth 23-Inch Lowell Cherry Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

Really beautiful high quality dark cherry (and heavy) furniture which enhances the room even when not turned on. The flames are surprisingly much more realistic than I expected but the glowing coals in front appear to lack depth and consequently realism. Heater works well to add secondary heat to a medium sized room but fan can be a bit noisy.

The remote control is very small and works only when it wants to.

Assembly took an hour or so. Assembly Instructions understandable (and also available on line). Ships in two boxes; one for the mantel (this is the part that must be assembled) and one for the electric flame/heater box.

This identical piece is also know as Pleasant Hearth Macomb Electric Fireplace depending on the vendor (ie BJs).

When I decided to add central air to my home I needed a thermostat that could do heat and AC with the two wires that I had connected to the old thermostat or tear into the walls to run new wires.

After getting over the initial sticker shock I talked to some heating people that I know and I was recommended this system or a very similar system that was just a variant on the same theme. I looked over all the systems and this one appeared to fit my needs best. I wanted heat, AC, scheduling, internet control, humidity and something that was smart (smart as in wouldn't waste energy getting to set-points too early or late).

I had to add on an outdoor combination temperature and humidity sensor along with an internet connector so this review is for the thermostat with those additional items and the added functionality that they provide.

Here are the high points that save me money. The thermostat knows my house and how long it will take to get the temperature to the set point so it does not waste fuel or electricity heating and cooling for too long. If the heat needs to come on 10 minuets or 50 minuets before the set time the thermostat knows and goes into recovery at the right time. This has allowed me to set my thermostat at 70 in the winter for the times I am awake and in the house and spend $50 to $70 over the dumb thermostat set at 68 all the time. Going on vacation, home from work all day the thermostat has settings for that as well so you can be comfortable if you are home or the heat can be set way down if you are not there. If we go out for the day we can turn the heat down then turn it up remotely from a smart phone with an app, or a web site on a computer ) when we are headed for home.

Installation was easy enough, and the HVAC guys got it with some help from me as they had never installed this type of thermostat before they were a little confused by the fact that the thermostat was actually a small computer at the furnace and not a box on the wall in the living space. I did all the wireless syncing myself and when it was all done everyone was impressed at how well it all worked and how easy it was to install. When I first got this thermostat all programing had to be done on the thermostat, now if you have the web interface you can do scheduling, and adjust humidity set-points either on line or with the app.
