We enjoy entertaining at our home, and bought this small appliance right before an annual party we host (40-60 people). It heats up quickly, kept our food warm as it should have, and is easy to store. Interesting thing: when taken out of the box (cold), the appliance didn't sit flush on the table, as if warped, but upon warming up, it was straight on the table.

We had one slight issue with a loose screw in the back of the unit. It didn't seem to be a crucial part of the assembly, but I did call an authorized Waring dealer in the area and they are replacing the whole unit.

I used this product on Thanksgiving for a family buffet. It kept the items warm, and did not burn or dry out the turkey. It heats up quickly and cooled down quickly for easy moving.

I have used a number of warming trays in the past. This Waring is okay in appearance but certainly not the most beautiful. Heat is controlled easily and, most important to me, is even across the surface. I am completely satisfied with the purchase.

excellent purchase. Very large warming space more than I had anticipated. So glad to have purchased it!

I bought this warming tray for our annual holiday party. It is large enough for at least three casseroles or pans. It worked very well and kept the meatballs and dips at a good temperature throughout the party.

I bought 4 of these oscillating Warmwave heaters and love them. They can quickly concentrate heat on me at my desk or in the kitchen. Therefore, even when they are located in a big room, I don't have to wait for the entire room to heat up. Also, they are much safer than a quartz heater, so I can place one close to me and walk away temporarily.

I bought this heater for my 89 yr old mother, who is always cold when she visits Colorado from her home in Florida. It was bigger than I planned on buying, but is extremely quiet! It also has a thermostat so it turns off when it gets warm enough in her bedroom. She could leave it on overnight without worrying about it getting too hot in her small room while she was sleeping. She was delighted with it.

I wish I read more reviews before purchasing this unit. As I write I'm shivering because even at 4 feet from my chair it is quite cold in my computer room for which I purchased this inefficient unit. It was an impulse buy without doing the necessary work of research. After an hour or two it might take the chill off a room but as far as really warming it up it just pumps out lukewarm air. I borrowed a friends (different brand) this fall and it was so much more effective at warming up the space I was in. Expecting this one to work the same because the price was right was a big mistake.

It works as if half the unit is not turning on. Unfortunately I threw the box away so I'll keep it until I can replace it and then get rid of it.

We live in the mountains and required a backup heater and this is filling the bill.

Quietly heats an average size room, quickly.

Bought this 3 years ago for my baby's room. (the coldest room in the house) It worked great, stores well and this is the 3 winter of using it and it still works great. I am buying another one for my daughter in her basement room. It does well at heating up the whole room (bedroom) I have not used this in bigger open rooms to see how it works however it works great for smaller rooms, has the auto shut off when tipped, and also has the temp control, and shuts off when room is warm. Love this heater!

ive only had this thing for 4 days now and im already noticing some technical issues with it. first off the thermostat reads weird temps. it will say its 76 when i have it set to cool to 75, then when i bump it down to 72 for the night so i can sleep, the thermostat pretty rapidly shoots up from 76 to 80 degrees, not sure why it does that. i know its not 76 degrees in here when i come in to go to bed.. tonight i came in and turned it down to 72 and it was reading that its 73 in the room, wont kick on so i bump it down to 70 and it turns on, thermostat shoots up to 80 degrees then the a/c stopped running. i turned it off for a couple minutes and it seems to be doing fine now but all this up and down and wrong temp readings are kind of bothersome. i seem to be the only person thats reviewed this thing anywhere that has this problem with it. but when it works, it works great and as long as it cools and cycles on and off the temp reading isnt that big of an issue, but cycling off when i have it set to 70 and the temp is reading 80, thats a little weird. hopefully it redeems itself and stops acting so strange otherwise its going to have to go back.

The cooling ability of this product is very good. Installation was pretty easy. A couple of things that need improvement it is a bit noisy; the front grill (the one that directs air) is "too open" allows dust/litter inside. Also, there is an opening on the top of the air-conditioner's body (the part that remains on the outside) my old unit only had the openings on the sides and for that reason the inside of the air-conditioner remained cleaner. Also, the openings that are located on the sides are not protected my old air-conditioner had "owning"-like metal protections on each opening on the sides of the unit this also prevented the insides of the air-conditioner from water and street litter.

I have the Costco version of this AC. It is cooling a top (4th) floor, ca. 300-350sf apartment in Boston. The apartment faces North and West and gets a lot of sun. This unit evaporates most of its condensate very few drips reach the ground an older 5K BTU unit dripped almost continuously. It kept up fine with the hottest day we're likely to get in Boston (100F, 55% RH), running continuously during the hottest part of the day at a 68F thermostat setting, translating to 72-74F throughout the apartment, at 40-45% RH. It's worked great for the two months I've had it. Two possible downsides: 1) The filter doesn't catch everything I have a down comforter that sheds, and I find down in the fins, behind the filter. 2) Unlike many ACs, it doesn't have a dehumidification mode, which could be useful in Spring/Fall. For $250 it's a deal, and I would purchase it again.

this air conditioner unit is fantastic, it is cooling our 1100 sq ft home in energy save mode, it makes the entire house cold, it uses 1110 watts, and 10.2Amps we have no reason to keep throwing money at our rooftop central unit, did I say we got it for 249 a great deal.

good product.

Honest reviews on Sharp AF-S125RX 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner

Only had the unit for one day. Installation was easy but the window mounting accordion sidings are kind of flimsy. Also there is a design flaw in that the bottom of the unit has a grooved portion protruding right where the unit is suppose to sit in the window. This causes it not to be completely flush with the bottom of the window sill by maybe 1/4 inch at most. But this opening was enough for me to feel air from the outside rushing in and I'm sure its enough to allow bugs and spiders to crawl inside. I'll probably close it off with some all purpose silicon or something. Beside that the air blows nice and cold and for $249 at Costco its a good price comparatively.

the air conditioner is not bad. the only down side is that it's a little bit noisy for sleep time using.

Yes, I would agree with another reviewer with not washing it I can't see how that would even be possible. The connection from the wall plug to the blanket is at the center of the bed, down by your feet. As another reviewer said if you're over 5'5" you will probably touch it. When we had a queen size bed (more than a year ago), I'd occasionally touch it. but just moved my foot over a few inches no biggie. Now we have a king size and I almost never touch it. When I do I know I've traveled over quite a bit.

To cut down on feeling the wires, we put the heated mattress pad on first, covered by a regular mattress pad, then our sheets. The stiffness of the wires went away pretty quick, and the wires are no longer noticeable. When spring came earlier this year I started to take the heated pad off our bed, then thought about where I'd have to store it, just decided to leave it on all summer, since we couldn't feel it anyway. Now it's ready for the occasional chilly nights we're getting. I need to buy some for the kids beds so I can turn the heat down at night this winter.

Overall, we LOVE it.

I also turn it up pretty high when I'm getting ready for bed, but once in bed for the night I usually have it on low or #2 for the night it's really efficient.

And another thought when using this I wake up feeling relaxed and limber not cold and achy like I used to. So nice!!

The instructions on the mattress pad states that it can be washed. However, when we washed it, it no longer worked!!!!! I do not recommend.

If this heated mattress pad lasts, it has 5 year warentee, It's well worth the money. Why would you wash it? its covered by sheets. Well maybe you could have an accident. ugh! Im 66 and the warmth helps my back (2 operations, Hips (2 replaced)and the rest of my body. Feels good getting up in the AM. Great idea, great product. Controls easy. Whats not to like!

Need to add this was an early Christmas present from my lovely wife. I'm always cold (surgery, old age) shes younger than I and warm a lot. So her side of the heated pad will stay off while mine is on warm. I'm lucky to have such a thoughtful wife

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Waterproof Mattress Pad

Warms up fast but very poor quality for the money. Bunches up on the bed & needs to be straightened almost 3 times per night... Worse than the cheapest mattress cover you can imagine!!!

October 2013-put this piece of junk on my bed & alas only one side works this year... Obviously a throw away item.. Don't waste your money & amazon doesn't want to hear about it!!!

I had to wait from late spring until now for this mattress pad to be available again, & I'm thankful it is. Love warmth on my body when I get into bed & read for awhile before sleeping. And I appreciate the warmth during the night, especially since my very large dogs often steal my comforter (don't use top sheets). & overly stressed

The pre-heat is a bonus that I use daily. In fact, I enjoy this steady flow of adjustable heat even in summertime, & in just the right places. Having arthritis in my neck/shoulders & perhaps lower back, plus sciatica in my one leg, means that these areas of my body that are bad & daily over-streesed generally turn into & touch the mattress. Indescribably better than the old-fashioned electric blankets I had grown up with.

The waterproofing was a must for me. Often my dogs will jog my hand, splattering the hot herbal tea all over the bedding. Then, too, one of my dogs sometimes pees on the mattress, to show defiance of something I'm doing or have done wrong, in her or his opinion. Somehow, neutering them all didn't dismiss the males' testosterone (or other hormone) levels. Thus the waterproofing is yet another layer of protection against the pee or tea to ruin my mattress itself.

BTW, it's sizing seems true, 'cause it definitely fits my king size bed w/ its roughly 12" depth/sides.

Maybe odd, but I can't think of anything about it that makes me unhappy. Haven't washed it yet, but when I do I'll be back w/ info regarding that. So, all in all a great buy at a decent price!

I was surprised how easy this was to install. You just label the existing wires and then match them to the new thermostat. The instructions walk you through everything.

While the touch screen isn't the greatest (resistive touch) it works and the menu/programming is pretty easy. I think the device just looks good on the wall and the smooth light dimming is a nice touch.

The energy saver button was very smart. It's easy to hit that as you are leaving the house.

Overall awesome thermostat, especially for the money. You can pick these up on eBay all day for 30 bucks.

Once I figured which unit I had and where the colored wires connect, I must say it was pretty simple to install. I am no electrician or a/c repair man but so far so good. I was lucky enough to buy this product for 1 cent, you read this right, 1 cent at Home Depot! I took the last two and I must say that it's pretty easy to use if you read the instructions. Great product!

Once I figured out which circuit breaker was attached to my old unit it was smooth sailing. The instructions were great and very helpful. It included stickers to mark wires while removing the old unit which help me out quite a bit. It is nice to set the temp different throughout the day to save energy while I am at work or on vacation.

I bought my Filtrete 3m-30 at Home Depot and is the same listed here on Amazon.com. The thermostat has nice features for a budget thermostat. However, my thermostat does not keep very good time and losses about 10+ minutes ever 3-6 months. When you replace the batteries the low battery indicator light will only go away if you hit the reset button. Customer service seems to be OK. If you are looking for something cheap with good features this thermostat will satisfy you. My is a year old and is still functioning.

I have a kitchenaid warming drawer that quit on my wife the other day. I did the troubleshooting and found this little safety switch to be the culprit. This switch is not re-settable. You have to replace it! What a scam!

Then came the hard part...finding a reasonably inexpensive replacement. I went to all the appliance sites and they all wanted at least $50 bucks plus shipping. Finally came to my senses and searched Amazon. To my surprise I got this one for $38 bucks including shipping. Took a week to get it, but I'm cheap and put up with the wife's nagging about not having a warming drawer for a week. My punishment was no warm meals when I came in from working on the yard. Oh well.

I can only hope that someday they'll come up with a re-settable thermal switch.
